Web Browsing Via Windows Drops
Web browsing while using Windows OS is down by almost 7%, according to a report by ad network Chitika, regarding browsing trends, taken from August 2011 to February 2012. This number has been mainly affected by the increasing popularity of iOS.
Also, for the first time, the use of iOS has surpassed Mac OS on the web just recently.
Still, Apple, if one were to count the iPad, has recently been declared the largest U.S. PC maker, so gains with iOS browsing trends can be attributed to their iPad. Apple has also been selling more iOS devices than Macs by a long shot.
Likewise, Smartphone shipments outweighed PC sales in 2011, with 488 million phones versus 415 computers being sold. Though interestingly, this might correlate with a lull in PC production after component shortages due to Thailand's 2011 monsoon season, when flooding disrupted factory production.
Chitika's research further cements the expanding popularity of the iOS device for web browsing, which may overtake the traditional PC in the future.

Porcelain clay is found in decomposed rock deposits with little exposure to contamination. When fired, it takes on a translucent appearance. This property is unique to porcelain and is not found in other ceramic clays.
Porcelain, the highest quality of ceramic ware, can be made from any of several different types of clay, including kaolin and ball clay. The high silica content of porcelain clay causes it to fuse and vitrify at high temperatures, in a chemical reaction similar to what happens in the making of glass.
As a result, porcelain is glossy and nonporous and does not require any additional glaze to become waterproof. Porcelain provides a beautiful, delicate surface for detailed ornamentation of all kinds, conducive to the extensive use of color that I utilize in much of my pottery.

Around the middle of January, Nigerians were told that President Muhammadu Buhari would be embarking on a 10-day vacation beginning from Monday, January 23. The announcement clearly stated that he would be back at his desk on Monday, February 6. At least that was the official notice from Aso Rock Villa, Nigeria's seat of power, where Buhari currently calls the shots.
But shortly after the notice was put out to the public, the president hastily left the shores of Nigeria on Thursday, January 19, that is, few days before the vacation was to officially commence. Since then it has been one new story after another, as speculation has become rife that the president may have been ill and needed urgent medical attention in London.
Expectedly, the President's handlers quickly sprang into action, trying to debunk rumours that the President was ill. However, in their attempt to cover up, they have made many goofs and gaffes to the extent that the information and culture minister, Lai Muhammed, has been on the receiving end of public anger.
If Muhammed expected these soothing words to calm the curiosity of the people, he was dead wrong. Unfortunately, he is not the only one that has been caught up in this trajectory of trying to explain away the President's rumoured illness.
The torrent of alibi and series of explanation over the President's health have since shifted to get-well pilgrimages to London by party stalwarts, politicians and other influential people in the country. That appears to be the thing now in vogue. Still, the whole drama playing out cannot hide the fact that the President is indeed indisposed, contrary to what Nigerians were made to believe.
One of the things that probably gave away the game was the fact that the President kept on wearing the same kaftan all through the photo-shots of the numerous get-well visits to him. And in most cases, he was either in the same sitting position or just taking a few guided steps to the front door. This is why the elaborate photo-shots with his hordes of visitors have had little or no positive impact on the psyche of doubting Nigerians. Not even the very recent photograph of the president with Bukola Saraki, the Senate President, Yakubu Dogara, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and Ahmed Lawan, the Senate Majority Leader, has been able to sway the people.
While the orchestra is going on in faraway London, intense prayer sessions are simultaneously going on in Nigeria especially in many of the mosques in the northern part of the country as Muslim faithful there have resorted to marathon prayers for the President's quick recovery. They may have embarked on this bend because the President's illness is coming so soon after another prominent northerner from the same state of Katsina died in office. President Buhari hails from Daura in Katsina State, while Umaru Yar'Adua, the late president who died on May 5, 2009, also hailed from Katsina town.
The death of Yar'Adua in 2009 opened the gate for Goodluck Jonathan, his deputy, to take over the mantle of leadership. The grudge of the northerners then was that the death of Yar'Adua robbed them of the golden opportunity to preside over the affairs of the country for at least eight years. Now, with the unfolding scenario around Buhari, there is apparent trepidation in the north that what happened in 2009 may happen again. That may be the reason intense prayers are currently ongoing to avert such a bad occurrence.
At any rate, to underscore the fact that the North is not folding its arms this time around, few weeks ago, there was wild rumour that some strong elements of northern extraction in the present government were mounting pressure on Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the ebullient vice president, to resign from office. The reason given by the rumour mongers was that this will pave the way for Bukola Saraki, the ambitious president of the Senate who is from the North central geo-political zone of the country to assume power in the event of anything on toward happening to Buhari. This will enable the North to retain the number one spot in the country's political equilibrium rather than lose it to another Southerner so soon.
Although Osinbajo has denied this, but Nigeria is a country of immense possibilities especially in the face of rumours and counter-rumours on the health condition of the President. The truth is that the Northern oligarchy loves power and can do anything to retain it.
Right now, his illness apart, there are many people jostling to replace Buhari in the 2019 elections. Many of them are familiar faces but they all have one baggage or the other which will make them ineligible to be nominated. Again, while some of them are too ambitious and largely inexperienced, others are like spent bullets that cannot do anything spectacular anymore. With the simmering crisis within the ruling APC and the People's Democratic Party, PDP, on the throes of death, notwithstanding the recent Appeal Court verdict in Port Harcourt, no one can be sure of the direction of Nigerian politics come 2019.
There are indications that another political realignment may be in the offing. And that realignment may exclude some of the present gladiators in the ruling APC as some of the aggrieved but influential members of the party may go for broke. On the other hand, the PDP, a party that once boasted that it would rule Nigeria till infinity, but was ignominiously defeated in the 2015 elections by a formidable APC, will try to go into alliance with some mushroom political parties. With the gale of defections from the PDP which may get worse in the coming weeks because of the recent Appeal Court verdict, making PDP relevant in the 2019 election may not be far from a mirage.
My worry is that the APC, as presently constituted, may also find it a herculean task winning the presidential election in 2019. I foresee an implosion of the party before then. The options left for the party is either to reorganise quickly and properly or pave the way for some prominent members of the party to form a new alliance and subsequently win the election.
Buhari may be gradually losing favour with the Nigerian electorate as his health could also be a burden to him in 2019. Even in the North where he comes from, many of his compatriots appear not very comfortable with his strides in office. Therefore, the thought of fielding him as president in 2019 may not arise. And if the economy continues on the present downward trend, then your guess would be as good as mine!
How Would Posterity Judge My Generation?
If you know his health status what can you du about it, are you a Doctor or Babalawo, let hope the President will come home soon.
Nigerians! So it is in this photo-shots that u saw the President took a "few guided" steps, in a photo-shot? We should always try not to allow our prejudices to becloud our sense of reasoning!
The writer said it all, in an attempt to deceive the Nigerian populace, the Presidency has created more problems for itself. I pray for healing for the President as a fellow human being, but Nigeria needs the direction and guidance of someone capable and able I say.

GS1 and the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organization (IHTSDO) recently announced the signing of a new collaborative agreement that supports interoperability in health information systems globally. This new agreement raises the performance bar to ensure the organizations' health information standards are complementary.
GS1's global trade item numbers (GTIN), serve as global standards for automatic product identification, used not only for patient safety, but for traceability as well. This important process is achieved through the use of barcodes.
IHTSDO's SNOMED CT is also a global standard that ensures semantically accurate clinical terminology for consistent use across health systems and services. The interoperability of these two standards seamlessly facilitate the link between the patient's clinical information in the patient's record, and the correct product administered to the patient at point of care. This process, enabled by barcode scanning, greatly increases reliability. even in challenging situations.
1. Develop guidance/principles to link SNOMED CT and GTINs for national/local level application.
2. Explore international level options, feasibility and benefits of a technical solution/model supporting local/national linkage between SNOMED CT and GTINs.
4. Explore educational options across healthcare communities based on information from subject matter experts. Feedback will ideally focused on GS1 and HTSDO products, services and collaborative activities.

Cloud Syncing Startup ZumoDrive Releases New Apps For Android, iPhone And Palm
File syncing and storage startup Zumodrive is updating its mobile offerings today, releasing new versions of their applications for iPhone, Android and Palm smartphones. ZumoDrive, which spawned from Y Combinator startup Zecter, has a different take on file syncing. Similar to other services, Zumodrive creates a drive on your device that is synced to the cloud. But service includes a slightly different twist-ZumoDrive tricks the file system into thinking those cloud-stored files are local, and streams them from the cloud when you open or access them.
The new mobile apps allow users to upload and download files to ZumoDrive directly from their smartphones, which was not available as a feature in the previous versions of the applications. With the new apps, users can get any of their playlists, photo albums or other files on their devices without taking up local disc space and without having to use wires to physically sync their files. You can also now share content directly from iPhone, Android, Palm devices. Other new features to the apps include improved media streaming on Android and Palm devices and a password protection to lock the iPhone app.
ZumoDrive has been gaining traction over the past year. Fresh off of a $1.5 million funding round, the startup scored a deal with HP in January to to power the backend of the technology giant's CloudDrive on all HP Mini netbooks. And the startup is seeing considerable growth in international markets, with the application's user-base in over 150 countries. ZumoDrive is also available in eight localized versions: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Chinese. While nearly half of ZumoDrive usage is in the US, a growing percentage is coming from Asia and Europe with Japan and the UK leading the pack.
Last year, ZumoDrive released a new version of its system that wirelessly syncs playlists between devices, auto-detects content, and lets users link file folders on their devices to ZumoDrive only once so that changes in that folder will always be linked to ZumoDrive. The service was also upgraded to integrate well with media applications, like iTunes, so users can play entire music libraries saved in ZumoDrive on multiple devices without manually syncing content. We initially reviewed Zumodrive here.
Zecter previously launched a product called Versionate, an office-wiki product, that we first covered in July 2007. We wrote about them again a year ago. ZumoDrive faces competition from Dropbox, SugarSync, and Box.net.

India's Modi makes landmark visit to disputed Kashmir
August 12, 2014 The Pioneer News World
KARGIL: Narendra Modi accused Pakistan of waging a proxy war in Kashmir on Tuesday as he became the first Indian prime minister to visit the town of Kargil since more than 1,000 died in a battle fought there 15 years ago.
Modi landed in the remote Himalayan town a day after India and its rival Pakistan traded accusations of ceasefire violations on their disputed border.
He is the first Indian leader to visit the highly sensitive area since a 1999 Pakistan army incursion triggered a conflict between the two countries.
Since then, India has maintained a heavy military presence in Muslim-majority Kargil, in the remote mountainous region of Ladakh.
But a reporter at the scene said there were few soldiers in evidence as the town readied for the arrival of the prime minister, who was due to address troops and open a new hydropower project there.
Kargil, which has a population of just 20,000 and is often cut off in winter, was decked out with flags from Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and around 5,000 local people had gathered to listen to the prime minister speak.
Speaking earlier Tuesday to soldiers in Leh, capital of the Ladakh region, where he stopped en route, Modi condemned what he called a "proxy war by Pakistan" and said troops were "suffering more casualties from terrorism than from war", according to the government's Press Information Bureau.
Modi, a hardline Hindu nationalist, also pledged to build new roads and develop tourism in the restive Muslim-majority state, where poverty and underdevelopment have exacerbated anti-government sentiment.
"There was a time when prime ministers never visited the state. I have come here two times already," said the prime minister, who was decked out in a traditional Ladakhi gold-coloured robe and hat for the occasion.
"We want to make jobs available for the youth. We want educational institutions for the youth… The government is committed to developing tourism in this region."
Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan, which both claim the region in full but administer separate partial areas. The neighbours have fought two of their three wars over its control.
Since 1989, an armed rebellion against Indian rule by about a dozen rebel groups seeking independence for Kashmir or a merger of the territory with Pakistan has left tens of thousands dead.
Ajai Sahni, executive director at the Institute of Conflict Management think tank, said Modi's visit was an "important first step towards bringing these areas back to the centre of national and strategic consciousness".
"This government's initiative in the region will gradually shift the power equation in favour of India over Pakistan as people in the region become more integrated (with India) with development and progress," he said.

Q: Java : Modifying existing XML create extra ending node while parsing While creating a new node and appending into existing XML-document using below code snippet
the expression is XPath like "rootNode/parentNode1/parentNode2/childNode"
  private static Node createParentNode(Document xmlDocument, String expression, String parentRootXPath)
      throws XPathExpressionException {
    final String childXPath = (expression.replace(parentRootXPath, "")).replaceFirst("/", "");
    final StringBuilder parentPathBuilder = new StringBuilder(parentRootXPath);

    Arrays.stream(childXPath.split("/")).forEach(childNodeName -> {
      try {
        Node parentNode = getNode(xmlDocument, parentPathBuilder.toString());
        Node childNode = xmlDocument.createElement(childNodeName);
        parentPathBuilder.append("/").append(childNodeName);
        parentNode.appendChild(childNode);
      } catch (XPathExpressionException e) {
        LOGGER.error("Unable to create Node {}", parentPathBuilder.toString());
      }
    });

    return getNode(xmlDocument, expression);
  }

  private static Node getNode(Document xmlDocument, String expression) throws XPathExpressionException {
    return (Node) X_PATH.compile(expression).evaluate(xmlDocument, XPathConstants.NODE);
  }

I am able to append the node but while parsing extra end node tag is generating
<DOCUMENT_SETS>
   <DOCUMENT_SPECIFIC_DATA_SET>
       <node1>value1</node1>
       <new_Node1>value1</new_Node1>
       <new_Node2>value1</new_Node2>
   </DOCUMENT_SPECIFIC_DATA_SET>
</DOCUMENT_SETS>
<DOCUMENT_SPECIFIC_DATA_SET />
<DOCUMENT_SPECIFIC_DATA_SET />

Input
<DOCUMENT_SETS>
   <DOCUMENT_SPECIFIC_DATA_SET>
       <node1>value1</node1>
   </DOCUMENT_SPECIFIC_DATA_SET>
</DOCUMENT_SETS>

Expected output
<DOCUMENT_SETS>
   <DOCUMENT_SPECIFIC_DATA_SET>
       <node1>value1</node1>
       <new_Node1>value1</new_Node1>
       <new_Node2>value1</new_Node2>
   </DOCUMENT_SPECIFIC_DATA_SET>
</DOCUMENT_SETS>

A: Duplicate end tags are get inserted due to creating a child node without checking is the node already exists or not.
  private static Node createParentNode(Document xmlDocument, String expression, String parentRootXPath)
      throws XPathExpressionException {
    final String childXPath = (expression.replace(parentRootXPath, "")).replaceFirst("/", "");
    final StringBuilder parentPathBuilder = new StringBuilder(parentRootXPath);

    Arrays.stream(childXPath.split("/")).forEach(childNodeName -> {
      try {
        Node parentNode = getNode(xmlDocument, parentPathBuilder.toString());
        parentPathBuilder.append("/").append(childNodeName);
        Node childNode = getNode(xmlDocument, parentPathBuilder.toString());
        if(Objects.nonNull(childNode)){
           childNode = xmlDocument.createElement(childNodeName);
           parentNode.appendChild(childNode);
        }
      } catch (XPathExpressionException e) {
        LOGGER.error("Unable to create Node {}", parentPathBuilder.toString());

Trademark in India
Trademark as defined in the Trademarks Act,1999 means a mark capable of being represented graphically and which is capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one of person from those of others & may include shape of goods, their packaging and combination of colors. Trademark is an important form of Industrial Property Rights. It plays a key role in a world economy. The following are some of the important factors associated with Trademarks.
The most important thing before registering a trademark is to get it searched. Trademark Search not only provides an opportunity to the user or owner of the mark to explore the probabilities of similar names associated with his captioned mark but also safeguards his interest in the mark.

After search, the most important step is to get the Trademark registered.

It provides legal right to the user/proprietor to safeguard his mark in case it is violated by some other person. It is indeed the most important factor by which customer starts to develop faith in the quality, service and various other components of a particular brand. A Trademark is registered for a period of 10 years. After that, it is renewed for a further period of 10 years.

People differentiate between quality, cost and services of various brands on the basis of Trademark. The goodwill of a Trademark user is built in the commercial market on the verge of Trademark. Thus, there is every possibility that it might get violated. Even a single mark resembling the mark of a registered user may affect his business adversely. Before Registration, a mark is advertised in the Trademark Journal for a period of 3 months and a further period of one month when a request is filed for extension of time. During this period, anyone can oppose it. In Indian Legal Consultants, we not only keep a watch on similar marks but also safeguard the rights of Trademark user or owner by filing Trademark Opposition in India.

How to Trademark
Trademark includes different kinds of marks such as device, brand, heading, label, ticket, name, trade name & container. The procedure to register the aforesaid trademarks is one and the same however it changes with the change of applicants. For e.g. in case of a company the registered name of the company should be used for filing the application. Application by a proprietor of partnership firm shall be made in the name of the partners P, Q, R trading as z; same is the case with a Hindu Undivided Family. The application by a Union or State government shall be in the name of the Government of India/ state government trading as z. In case of minor the application should be made in the name of minor represented by the guardian. An application pertaining to a trust should be made in the name of the trust through its chairman B, trading as C. An application can also be filed in the name of two applicants. Thus, as soon as an application is filed it gets examined by the registrar and after clearing all the objections raised by the registrar or objections from any other person or party the trademark gets registered.
Types of Registration in US :
Prior to its revision in 1988 the U.S. law required prior/actual use as a pre-condition to registration. Presently under the amended law, the USPTO (i.e., United States Patent & Trademark office) also accepts application for registration of a trademark based upon a bona fide intent to use. However, registration of the mark of such intending to use applicant becomes effected only upon the applicant filing an affidavit in the form of statement of use, showing actual use of the mark, within six months from the date of issuance of the notice of allowance. This time period is however extendable up to thirty-six months.
Registration process in US :
Section 1 of the Lanham Act lays down the procedure of registration of a trademark. One must apply for registration by filing a written application accompanied by a drawing of the mark and specimens showing actual use of the mark (where the application is based on actual use & not intent to useand the prescribed filing fees. Trademark applications can also be filed on-line through Trademark Electronic Application systemTEAS) by logging in the USPTO website (www.uspto.gov.in).
After filing of the receipt of application the USPTO examines the same to determine its registrability both in terms of its distinctiveness as well as its confusing similarity with other marks. The registry then issues either a notice of allowance or a preliminary rejection. In case of rejection the applicant has six months time to respond by amending the original application in light of the grounds of rejection or by offering arguments in support thereof. A final refusal is appealable to the Trademark Trial & Appellate Board.
Where the mark is allowed, the same is published in the Official Gazette to invite oppositions to the registration of the mark. The period within which an opposition is required to be filed is 30 days, which is also extendable upon request of a potential opposer. Where no opposition is filed or where the same is unsuccessful the mark is registered. However for intent to use application registration is withheld till the applicant files his statement of use as aforesaid.
Trade Mark Renewal And Services
An international registration remains for ten years and it can be further renewed for a period of ten years only at the payment of requisite renewal fees. As far as the international registration is concerned it may be renewed with all the countries associated with WIPO or with any one of them. The proof of use to renew may or may not be required by the Madrid Protocol. However, in order to maintain a registered protection of extension, the countries that are member to this protocol may require this. Also, if the international registration expires it will have effect on all the countries linked with it. Thus, failure to renew an international registration without any criminal intention may have unassuming consequences. Before the expiry of six months from the due date, WIPO will send a reminder to the owner. The international trademark system is mainly governed by two international treaties, i.e. the Madrid Agreement and the Madrid Protocol. The international agency will not accept renewal in respect of some of the goods or services specified in the register of trademarks, therefore if the applicant wishes to cancel some of the goods or services specified in the register than he must file a separate cancellation application affecting the same. The renewal service is provided as per the wish of the trademark holder. There is also provision for renewal through e-services. Thus we can guarantee you that there cannot be best firm providing renewal services other than Indian Legal Consultants.
Trademark Act
In India, there was no proper legislation concerning Trademark matters prior to 1940.The cases of trademark infringement and trademark violation were governed by the rules and regulations of Specific Relief Act and Indian Penal Code. These rules where not competent to provide proper relief as a result a need was felt for the enactment of new laws pertaining to trademark matters. Looking into the present situation pertaining to Trademark law the parliament enacted the Trademark Act, 1940 but this was also proved a major setback as most of the well known marks where not getting importance due to provision of distinctiveness laid down in the Act. Thus there was enormous demand and need for enlarging the limits of the Act, which resulted in the passing of Trade & Merchandise Act, 1958. Nearly for forty years the act helped in safeguarding the trademarks of India but with the passing of time and development in the field of science, industry and technology a need was felt to bring new provisions which led the parliament to enact Indian Trademarks Act, 1999. The main objective of the new Act is to consolidate the laws relating to goods and to introduce new laws relating to services. The new Act also laid down provisions concerning licensing of trademarks.

Thus this is the basic difference between a mark and a logo. However it is professional advised to file a logo along with the mark because logo helps in the immediate identification of a particular business.

The common law pertaining to trademark rights is not intended to protect a person who deliberately sets out to take benefit oa goodwill of someone else especially when the reputation concerning goods and services extends worldwide. The Act ensures that the registered proprietor of mark has a monopoly right to that mark. The common law has been designed to prevent passing off and appropriation of someone else intellectual property.
Trademark TM
Trademarks are globally represented with the symbol. Most of the times people use to get confuse between the symbols TM and SM. It is to be noted that these symbols are nothing but two sides of the same coin. TM is used by some proprietor to denote their business in goods whereas SM is used to denote providing of services.

Trademark TM SM
Most of the people get confused between the symbols TM and SM. These symbols are nothing but a medium of representing the business of different proprietors. The symbol TM is mainly used to designate the mark in respect of particular goods, whereas SM is used to designate the services of a particular proprietor. According to Indian Trademarks Act, 1999 this symbols can be used when a captioned application has been filed with the Trademarks Registry within whose jurisdiction the proprietor has his principal place of business, or branch office or residential address etc. The symbols are used as long as a particular application
is pending fro registration. Once the application gets registered it is replaced by the symbol ®. The goods and services in India are basically classified into 42 classes. The first 34 classes provide detailed information pertaining to different goods that can be produced and sold.

The symbol TM and SM basically helps the perspective buyer in identifying whether a particular business is in respect of goods or it is in respect of services.

Trump nominates Texas lawyer Trey Trainor for Federal Election Commission
by Patrick Svitek Sept. 12, 2017 11:40 PM
By Patrick Svitek, The Texas Tribune Sept. 12, 2017
"Trump nominates Texas lawyer Trey Trainor for Federal Election Commission" was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.
*Editor's note: This story has been updated throughout.
President Donald Trump is nominating Trey Trainor, an Austin lawyer well-known in Texas politics, to serve on the Federal Election Commission.
The White House announced Trainor's appointment late Tuesday night. He must be confirmed by the Senate.
Trainor is a longtime attorney specializing in election law, campaign finance and ethics. He has served as the lawyer for the conservative nonprofit Empower Texans, defending it during its long-running battles with the Texas Ethics Commission over whether it should have to disclose its donors.
Trainor originally supported U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in the 2016 presidential primary, but once Cruz dropped out, Trainor helped pave the way for Trump's nomination at the Republican National Convention. Trainor served as general counsel to the RNC platform committee, a job that put him on the front lines of the party's efforts to quell an anti-Trump uprising on the floor.
After Trump took office earlier this year, Trainor went to work at the Pentagon, where he helped with the transition in leadership as a temporary appointee. His title was special assistant to the secretary of defense in the Office of General Counsel.
Trainor has most recently been serving as the assistant general counsel for the Texas GOP. He was installed in that position after James Dickey became the new chairman in June and appointed a fresh slate of party officers.
In a statement applauding Trump for nominating Trainor, Dickey called Trainor a "highly accomplished election attorney and a committed Texas Republican."
The White House said Trump is tapping Trainor to serve the "remainder of a 6-year term expiring April 30, 2021." It was not immediately clear which seat he would fill on the six-member commission, which currently has one vacancy.

Forest City Closes $158M Sale of Downtown Brooklyn Development Site

Forest City Realty Trust has completed the sale of a vacant development site at 625 Fulton Street to fellow Brooklyn-based developer Rabsky Group for $158 million.
The sale of the property between Hudson Avenue and Rockwell Place, which offers more than 600,000 square feet of buildable space, closed on Jan. 13, according to city property records published today.
SEE ALSO: Taconic, Clarion Selling Bronx Multifamily Portfolio for $65M: Sources
News of the transaction was first reported by Commercial Observer in November. A representative for Rabsky Group did not immediately return a request for comment today.
A Forest City spokeswoman contacted by CO about the closed sale referred a reporter to the company's statement provided when the parties reached an agreement: "This sale is related to our stated corporate commitment to our shareholders to shore up our balance sheet by enhancing liquidity and de-levering through strategic dispositions" as Forest City prepared to become a real estate investment trust at the beginning of this year.
Darcy Stacom and William Shanahan of CBRE represented Forest City in the deal. The buyer didn't have a broker in the deal, Ms. Stacom previously told CO.
The site sits across from Forest City's 36-story residential building at 80 DeKalb Avenue, formerly known as 10 MetroTech fCenter.
Forest City demolished the seven-story, 359,000-square-foot office building at the site in 2013 and had plans to build a residential tower there, as CO previously reported. The property was home to the Internal Revenue Service and the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. It was also the site of Barton's Candy Company, which closed in 1981.
Last year, Forest City was looking for a partner to develop the site or if it couldn't find one, the firm was interested in selling it. The company was asking $185 million for it, according to Crain's New York Business.

Imagine coming face to face with your body double, who's your opposite in nearly every way: finances, style, faith. You'd have to admit your evil twin is good looking though, and you have some similarities: you're both university students who love soccer—and the same woman.
For Matthew Mulberry and Mohamed el Taher, it's definitely not love at first sight. They don't want to believe they're brothers, identical twins separated at birth. Matthew is a Christian, Mohamed a Muslim extremist up to his eyeballs in a terrorist plot. Add in Layla, another Christian, who's torn by feelings for both brothers.
A plot like this could come across as contrived, propaganda even, with cardboard hero and villain. Instead, award-winning author Keith Clemons gives us two vibrant, fundamentally opposite young men who are each seriously committed to their own understanding of God and His dealings with humanity. Each one's reasoning makes sense to himself, while he sees the other man as clearly deceived.
If anything, Mohamed's faith seems the stronger of the two, but I think that's because we see him spend more time thinking about it. And he has a lot to think about. As well as wrestling with the ethics of mass murder, he's drawn to compare the harsh Allah who calls him slave with the Christians' Jesus, who claims God is love and who offers to call him son.
Keith Clemons' taut writing style pulls the reader into the story and keeps the pages turning. This isn't a novel designed to paint all Muslims as terrorists, or all Christians as ideal. In each camp we see examples of devout behaviour and human failing. While Mohamed and his friends are extremists, other peripheral characters are Muslims living peaceful and caring lives.
If all power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, then the excesses and evils of the extremist leaders say far more about human depravity than about the deity they claim to serve.
The author's Christianity is a clue to which side he's on in comparing the two faiths, but he treats both fairly. He acknowledges the help of former Muslims in understanding Mohamed's mindset.
Through twists, turns and surprises, Keith Clemons delivers us to a satisfying ending. Nothing is pat or easy, and none of the three main characters will ever be the same again.
The novel's key characters are all of Egyptian origin, and it was an interesting experience for me as the fly-on-the-wall Caucasian reader to belong in the story world's ethnic minority.
Canadian author Keith Clemons writes issue-related fiction. His previous novels, Angel in the Alley, These Little Ones, Above the Stars and If I Should Die, are all award-winners, and I have no doubt Mohamed's Moon will follow suit.
You can read an interview with Keith at Interviews and Reviews and the Hot Apple Cider site. To read other reviews of Mohamed's Moon, visit Promptings, Writer-lee, Writing Right, Interviews and Reviews and Deborah Gyapong's blog.

Something I could really use right now.
Advanced animation, Breaking the effect needed down into functions, and coordinating multiple parts in sync.
Only issue is without a maximum frame rate of some sort, it will run as fast as it can, meaning it uses all the processing power it can get its hands on.
If the user is only going to see 60fps what's the point of processing 500+fps and using up the resources that would otherwise go to other processes?
Yep, love.timer:cap() would be perfect.

2023 Should Be India's Year
The Pulse | Diplomacy | South Asia
As president of the G-20 and the SCO this year, India is in a position to project global leadership. But it will need to strengthen its economic heft and use it to promote peace and security.
By Raymond E. Vickery, Jr. for The Diplomat
Credit: Twitter/G20 India Official
The stars are aligned to make 2023 India's year for international leadership.
India is the president of the Group of 20 (G-20) and will host its summit in September. It holds the rotating presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and will host the meeting of the SCO Heads of State, probably in August. Additionally, India has convened a virtual meeting of the 75 nations of the Global South and will host the Quad Foreign Ministers Meeting. India has positioned itself between NATO and Russia over Ukraine and has leverage with both that can be used for good. The Indian economy appears better prepared to withstand the headwinds facing the world than other major economies.
All these factors put together, make 2023 an opportune year for India to position itself as a global leader. However, India will need to maintain its economic stride, and promote global peace and security to make the most of this opportunity.
India is concentrating on economic and developmental issues in both the G-20 and the SCO to the exclusion of security issues. It has already hosted a meeting of the G-20 Development Working Group in Mumbai and plans to hold over 200 meetings in over 50 cities in India this year. Similarly at the SCO, India is emphasizing three "pillars of cooperation" – Startups & Innovation, Science & Technology, and Traditional Medicine. The high-level engagement and frequency of meetings underlines the seriousness with which India has taken up the mantle of its leadership.
The theme of India's G-20 presidency is "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" – loosely translated as "The World is One Family" or as the Indian government puts it on its G-20 website, "One Earth – One Family – One Future." This lofty sentiment, which is engraved in Hindi over the entrance of India's parliament building, is in tension with India's tendency to view Russia's invasion of Ukraine as European and not a world problem. Issues facing the G-20 and SCO cannot be divided into distinct economic and political issues with a principle of "One Earth – One Family – One Future" applicable to economic, non-security issues and a regional realpolitik applicable to political, security issues.
While India is making strides, challenges persist.
No matter how well-positioned India is to lead internationally, it needs a strong economic position to exercise that leadership. Fortunately, India's economy in 2023 should provide the domestic political space for the Modi government to concentrate on foreign policy and garner the heft needed to command respect from other nations. The Indian economy appears better prepared to withstand the headwinds facing the world than any other major nation. India's GDP growth in 2023 will exceed projected world economic growth. It is posited to be about 60 percent greater than that of China and will be many times greater than that of Japan and the U.S.
In addition to outstanding GDP growth, India's foreign exchange reserves rank fifth in the world and are a far cry from the early 1990s when India had barely enough to cover its needs for two weeks. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) set a record in FY 2021-22 and is doing well in the present fiscal year. There is monetary and fiscal stability with the rupee holding its own internationally. Domestic demand is strong and financial markets look good. Inflation is a continuing problem, however, and is expected to come in at about the world average in 2023.
While India's domestic economic situation will give its leadership impetus, it will also need to be a force that can bring important stakeholders to the table. Therefore, the great temptation for India in leading both the G-20 and the SCO in 2023 will be to avoid divisive issues to achieve at-least superficial consensus. The great opportunity for India is to realize the theme "One Earth-One Family-One Future" across the board, on security as well as economic issues. Progress in building peace and stability in view of the actions of Russia and China will not be easy. However, India's robust plans for over 200 meetings leading up to the G-20 Summit in New Delhi can be used to show the benefits of adherence to the rule of law in all spheres for the entire international "family." The addition of a G-20 sherpa track to that of finance was made for the very purpose of broadening the scope of attention for the G-20. Likewise, an avowed purpose of the SCO is the strengthening of peace, security, and stability. The SCO pledges adherence to the goals and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
2023 is the year for India to use its leadership positions and positive economic situation to act on the challenges to world peace and security as well as economic growth, the environment, and culture.

Simon Henriksson to face undefeated Mikkel Nielsen on April 21
Ringside 26/03/2018
Swedish super welterweight Simon Henriksson (5-1, 1 KO) will face undefeated Dane Mikkel Nielsen (4-0, 2 KOs) in a six-round contest on the undercard of the European Union Heavyweight showdown between Otto Wallin and Adrian Granat.
Henriksson and Nielsen were scheduled to meet on September 30 in Stockholm, but the fight was postponed after Henriksson contracted an illness. Now, the Scandinavian rivals will have the chance to settle their differences on April 21 in at the Gärdehov in Sundsvall.
"Of course, I was disappointed when the fight got postponed, but I'm happy the fight is happening now," said Henriksson, the 28 year-old from Ystad, who is trained and managed by former Swedish World Champion Armand Krajnc.
"It's going to be a great fight and a great show. I know both Otto Wallin and Adrian Granat in private so it's going to be a lot of fun. Mikkel Nielsen is a good fighter and I expect him to give me a good test. That's what I want! I don't want opponents just coming over for the money. I want someone who is going to give me a challenge."
Nielsen returns to the ring following a points win over Jemal Shalamberidze last month in Struer, and the 28 year-old from Odense says he is looking forward to testing his skills in his opponent's home country, and sampling some of the local cuisine.
"I was seriously annoyed when the fight was postponed," said Nielsen. "I had been working my ass off for 2 moths prior and was in incredible shape, but hey, these things happen, and I always believed that the fight would happen eventually.
"I'm really excited to be boxing on a big show in Sundsvall. The fans can expect a clash between two Vikings who are going to give it all they got in the ring. Neither one of us is going to want to back off once the bell rings.
"This is a chance for me to make a statement and show that I'm not afraid to fight in my opponent's home country. I'll be bringing my good mood and my bald head, and I look forward to eating some 'Svenska Kjötbullar' after the fight!"
Simon Henriksson's and Mikkel Nielsen's six-round super welterweight showdown is the latest addition to an action-packed Nordic Fight Night at the Gärdehov in Sundsvall.
Heavyweight rivals Otto Wallin and Adrian Granat meet in a grudge match for the European Union title, Mikaela Lauren challenges the undefeated Verena Kaiser for the IBO Female World Super Welterweight strap, and Sven Fornling defends his IBF Baltic Light Heavyweight belt against Karel Horejsek.
Rising Swedish stars Oliver Flodin, Rocco Wadell and Robin Safar have also been confirmed for the undercard with further announcements coming soon.
