Q: Making a 301 rewrite from within a folder using relative rewrite URLs I have the following problem. We used many different URLs to the same page. Now we want to use only one URL for those pages. Here an example:
RewriteRule ^(subfolder1/folder1/|(subfolder2|subfolder3)/folder2/|folder3/)?(name1|name2|name3|name4)$ scriptname.php [QSA,NC]

As you can see it is pretty messy. What I now want to do is the following: Rewrite all URLs to only one of those URLs (e.g. subfolder1/folder1/name1) using a 301 and than using a rewrite on that URL to address the actual script. It might look like this:
RewriteRule ^((subfolder2|subfolder3)/folder2/|folder3/)?(name2|name3|name4)$ /subfolder1/folder1/name1 [R=301,QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ^subfolder1/folder1/name1$ script.php [QSA.NC]

Until here I have no problem. But now comes the tricky part. We use several development machines on UNIX and Windows machines. They all have different host names and folder. Here are some examples:
http://www.example.com (production)
http://test.example.com (testing)
http://localhost/development_folder/ (development WIN)
http://localhost:8888/development_folder/ (development MAC)

The issue is, that as we have subfolders on the development machines, I can't use an absolute URL as /subfolder1/folder1/name1/ as it would e.g. point to http://localhost/subfolder1/folder1/name1/ and not to http://localhost/development_folder/subfolder1/folder1/name1/ so all the rewrites would be broken on the development machines.
Is there any chance to get this issue working? As the folder development_folderis the same on all development machines, would it help to exclude/include that folder to the rewrites afterwards like this:
RewriteRule ^((subfolder2|subfolder3)/folder2/|folder3/)?(name2|name3|name4)$ /development_folder/subfolder1/folder1/name1 [R=301,QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ^development_folder/(.*)$ $1 [QSA.NC]
RewriteRule ^subfolder1/folder1/name1$ script.php [QSA.NC]

Or is there a better way of doing it? Any hint would help a lot.

A: I would use Apache Include directives to modify the rule set.  That way I can test the rules that will be used in production.
I don't remember if there is an issue with resolving the include wildcard to include no files, but if there is you could use an empty file in production and the actual dev rewrite rules one in dev.
RewriteRule ^((subfolder2|subfolder3)/folder2/|folder3/)?(name2|name3|name4)$ /subfolder1/folder1/name1 [R=301,QSA,NC]
Include /etc/apache/conf.d/*_dev.rewrites
RewriteRule ^subfolder1/folder1/name1$ script.php [QSA.NC]

On you dev machines and ONLY on your dev machine have the /etc/apache/conf.d/my_dev.rewrites:
RewriteRule ^development_folder/(.*)$ $1 [QSA.NC]

A: Wouldn't per-directory RewriteRules (inside an .htaccess) work? Then you can specify either a relative substitution (without a / in front) or, in case you need it, an absolute one (with /).
With the relative one, the base path will be stripped before rewriting and then prefixed again. Perhaps, you'll need to tune RewriteBase for this to work correctly (hmm, differently for your different servers...).

A: I think there is a more deep problem with that dev/production servers layout but I suppose you have your reasons.
This can help you:
# dev
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^((subfolder2|subfolder3)/folder2/|folder3/)?(name2|name3|name4)$ /subfolder1/folder1/name1 [R=301,QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ^subfolder1/folder1/name1$ script.php [QSA.NC]

# production
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^((subfolder2|subfolder3)/folder2/|folder3/)?(name2|name3|name4)$ /dev_folder/subfolder1/folder1/name1 [R=301,QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ^dev_folder/subfolder1/folder1/name1$ script.php?dev=1 [QSA.NC]

The idea is to use the hostname to have a different set of rules. You can use dev1.example.com, dev2.example.com, etc as needed adding that 'fake' domains to /etc/hosts as alias of 127.0.0.1

You are here: Home Business Licensing and regulation Business and markets licensing Caravan site licence
Caravan site licence
Caravan sites are controlled by the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 enforced by Local Authorities and require planning permission and a licence unless they are owned by the Council itself.
Once planning permission is granted, the Council must issue a licence. We can attach conditions to the licence which must be based on model conditions issued in 1989 by Central Government. The conditions cover many different matters to ensure that the welfare, health and safety of site residents are protected and to restrict the possibility of nuisance to adjacent land and property.
The Council must keep a register of all licensed sites, which must be available for public inspection at all reasonable times. Our register is kept by Housing Services, Ryedale House, Malton YO17 7HH.
+ - Who needs a caravan site licence? Click to collapse
If you are a caravan site licensee you should have a licence already but you should check that your name, the site name and address is correct and up to date. Also check that the licence corresponds with your planning permission. If not, you should send us the licence for re-issue to the address below including the correct details or complete a Site Licence Form.
If you have recently become a caravan site owner licences are transferable to a new occupier but the law requires us to give consent for the transfer. You should send us the licence with a request for transfer and we will either endorse or re-issue it.
If you are a potential site owner you or your legal advisor should check that all the land used for siting caravans has planning permission and that the details correspond with the site licence. If you wish to change the use of the land to a permanent caravan site use you must have planning permission before a licence can be issued.
+ - Information about licensing any caravan site Click to collapse
A licence can only be issued if the site has planning consent. An established use certificate does not give entitlement to a licence. The consent may limit the sites use to particular types of caravans e.g. self-propelled caravans where there is difficulty over access. In these cases the licence should contain the same restrictions.
A caravan site can include tents and on touring sites the licence normally allows a small tent alongside a caravan to be counted as a single unit. If the site does not have planning consent for caravans, a licence for tents can be granted under the provisions of the Public Health Act.
How long will it take to receive the licence?
Following receipt of the application form and any necessary attachments including the relevant fee, you can expect to hear from us within 60 days.
Tacit Consent applies: this means that you will be able to act as though your application is granted if you have not heard from us by the end of the target period. If you have not heard from us within a reasonable period please contact us. You can do this online if you applied through the UK Welcomes service or use the contact details below.

+ - Why have conditions on a Licence? Click to collapse
The Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 allows a Local Authority to impose licence conditions in the interest of the safety and comfort of persons dwelling in the caravans, or in the surrounding area. Failure to comply with a site condition is a criminal offence once a site licence is in force.
The conditions can include:
The type of caravan, e.g. residential, static holiday or touring.
The numbers of vans on site may be limited to take into account planning or highway considerations, so that levels of amenity or privacy can be maintained.
A planning condition may require seasonal use to prevent the use of sub-standard accommodation, or to preserve the quiet amenity of the area during closed periods.
If four or more vans are permitted, there must be a condition requiring a copy of the licence to be displayed on the site.
The spacing between caravans may be conditioned, mainly for fire considerations, but privacy and noise nuisance are also factors.
Road surfaces should be covered to prevent danger and dust nuisance and to provide adequate access for emergency vehicles
Conditions to ensure adequate water supply, toilet & washing facilities and drainage and disposal of waste to prevent nuisance and maintain hygiene.
The site name must be displayed for easy identification by emergency services.
Conditions that ensure safe and adequate electricity supply.
Conditions relating to fire precautions.
Are there any exceptions?
A caravan site licence is required if a caravan is stationed on land for the purpose of human habitation, however there are some exceptions:
If a caravan is sited within the curtilage of a dwelling and its use is incidental to the dwelling. This means it cannot be occupied separately.
If a single caravan is sited for not more than two consecutive nights for a maximum of 28 days in any 12 months
If no more than three caravans are sited on a site of not less than five acres for a maximum of 28 days in any 12 months
If the site is occupied by an exempt organisation such as the Caravan Club
If a site of up to 5 caravans is certified by an exempt organisation and which is for members only
If the site is occupied by the Local Authority. These are usually traveller sites.
If the site is for temporary and special purpose use such as caravan rallies, agricultural and forestry workers, building and engineering sites and travelling salesmen.
If a site is for tents only it can be used for a maximum of 28 days in any 12 months.

Queen Elizabeth Tests Positive for COVID-19, Is 'Experiencing Mild Cold-Like Symptoms'
Feb 20, 2022 9:27 am·
By Elisabeth McGowan
Queen Elizabeth II has tested positive for COVID-19, Buckingham Palace announced on Sunday, February 20.
"Buckingham Palace confirm that The Queen has today tested positive for Covid," the palace's statement read. "Her Majesty is experiencing mild cold-like symptoms but expects to continue light duties at Windsor over the coming week."
The announcement continued, "She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines."

The Queen of England, 95, is reported to be fully vaccinated. She and her late husband, Prince Phillip, received their first doses of one of the available vaccines in January 2021, which a spokesperson from Buckingham Palace confirmed in a statement.
"The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh have today received Covid-19 vaccinations," the announcement read.
One month later, the queen discussed her experience in receiving the dose.
"It was very quick, and I've had lots of letters from people who have been very surprised by how easy it was to get the vaccine," she said in February 2021 during a video call with health officials. "And the jab, it didn't hurt at all."

On February 10, Us Weekly reported that the queen was being monitored after her son, Prince Charles, tested positive for the coronavirus that day, after previously contracting it in March 2020. Charles, 73, had visited Windsor Castle, where the queen lives, to hand out investiture honors on February 8. His wife, Duchess Camilla, tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, February 14.
Both the Duchess of Cornwall, 74, and Charles are tripled vaccinated, having received their first doses in February 2021 and announcing they received their booster shots that December. The two also encouraged others to receive the vaccines.
"We can only urge you to look at the evidence in our intensive care wards and listen to those who work there," the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall's official statement read in December 2021. "People who are unvaccinated are at least 10 times more likely to be hospitalized or die than those who have had two vaccine doses. That is why we urge everyone to get vaccinated and to take up the booster, as we have done ourselves."

Just four days before Charles' positive test result, the queen celebrated her 70th anniversary of being on the throne. She took a moment to express her "sincere wish" for Duchess Camilla to obtain the royal title of Queen Consort when Charles becomes king in the future.
"When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me," Queen Elizabeth said on February 6. "And it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service."

Concealed Drug Trial Results Mislead Doctors & Put Children's Lives at Risk – NYT
Thu, 22 Jul 2004
The inordinate influence that drug companies wield on government healthcare regulatory policies–through campaign contributions to elected officials and lucrative job offers to public officials–has seriously compromised children's safety in numerous ways.
An illuminating article in The New York Times describes how loopholes in drug legislation and public officials who have turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to drug safety issues, are putting children's health and safety at risk of serious harm.
Public policymakers and oversight agency officials have become government protectors of the drug industry-even as they know about severe adverse drug effects that put children's health at risk–they put industry's financial interests first.
The Times reports how drug companies are exploiting loopholes in the 1997 FDA Modernization Act (FDAMA) to conceal vital information about severe adverse drug effects in children. FDAMA was enacted to encourage the testing of drugs in children-presumably the tests were needed to provide safety and dosing information to physicians who prescribe the drugs for children off-label. But as we had predicted, the law's beneficiaries are not children. See: https://ahrp.org/infomail/0402/april192002.htm
FDAMA offers drug companies six month patent extension to protect their freedom from competition if they test their drugs in children. Drug companies have been cashing in on the financial incentive at a brisk pace. But, when the test findings are negative-either demonstrating no benefit for children-such as antidepressants and drugs to treat headaches–or when drugs are linked to severe adverse effects-antidepressants, anti-fungal drugs, such as Diflucan–the companies conceal the findings, and conceal the fact that the drug was ever tested in children.
The Times reports: "Reviewing test data provided by the maker, Pfizer, the F.D.A. concluded that Diflucan was not very effective for ringworm – and that a child could risk liver damage if given high doses of the drug."
That information never made it to the drug's label. When asked about the need to protect children's lives by disclosing adverse drug effects, FDA officials point to loopholes in the law and shrug their shoulders. The Times calls it "a quirk" that "labels are often allowed to remain silent about a test when the F.D.A. turns down a company's application for approval of a new use or a new patient group – as in the case of Diflucan and ringworm." We call it deception.
The priority of FDA's mission is: "protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy, and security of…drugs…biological products, medical devices…" and "helping the public get accurate, science-based information they need to use medicines and foods to improve their health." FDA officials who are more concerned about protecting corporate secrecy than protecting children's lives, they are perverting FDA's mission: See: http://www.fda.gov/opacom/morechoices/mission.html
We believe that FDA officials who have turned their backs on safety issues that threaten the health of children, by helping drug manufacturers conceal vital health safety information, should be prosecuted as partners in crime against children.
For those who may be interested in a critical analysis of the impact of FDAMA and its successor, the 2002 Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, on children's safety, see: ETHICAL HUMAN SCIENCES & SERVICES Summer 2003, vol. 5 pp. 83-108 https://ahrp.org/testimonypresentations/FDAmodernization03.php

MEDICINE'S DATA GAP
Results of Drug Trials Can Mystify Doctors Through Omission
By BARRY MEIER
A pediatrician who has read medical journals lately might have seen articles advocating the use of the antifungal drug Diflucan for the treatment of ringworm, a childhood skin infection. But reading the extensive medical information enclosed in the drug's package, the same doctor would not learn that federal drug regulators had rejected Diflucan for ringworm use. Reviewing test data provided by the maker, Pfizer, the F.D.A. concluded that Diflucan was not very effective for ringworm – and that a child could risk liver damage if given high doses of the drug.
It is a quirk of the F.D.A.'s labeling rules. For a drug's government-approved uses, the label gives doctors important data from clinical tests involving those treatments while spelling out the drug's risks and providing directions for administering it to patients.
But labels are often allowed to remain silent about a test when the F.D.A. turns down a company's application for approval of a new use or a new patient group – as in the case of Diflucan and ringworm.
Pfizer and the F.D.A. both say that the Diflucan label conforms to the agency's rules and accurately reflects the drug's approved uses for adults and children, as well as its risks.
The labeling issue is another facet of an expanding debate over the incomplete disclosure and publication of the results of clinical drug trials. And it is one of growing importance to a number of physicians.
The doctors worry that ambiguous or incomplete drug labels may lead them to prescribe drugs for treatments that F.D.A.-reviewed tests have shown to be ineffective or potentially risky. Printed material accompanying many drugs says the drug's safety and effectiveness "has not been established" in children – when some have been tested for pediatric use, with equivocal results.
Until recently, several popular antidepressants carried the "has not been established" language despite tests in children and adolescents that raised questions about their efficacy. Regulators and manufacturers have since issued safety warnings about those drugs amid concerns that, in a sharply limited number of cases, they may cause depressed youngsters to consider suicide.
"If it has been tested, we want that to be reflected" on the label, said Dr. Richard Gorman, a pediatrician who is chairman of the committee on drugs of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
In recent weeks, the academy and other medical groups have met with lawmakers to discuss possible legislation requiring companies to list tests of drugs and medical devices in a public database. And yesterday, Representative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California, sent a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson, urging him to release data from all pediatric drug trials that have been conducted under federal laws that encourage such tests.
Dr. Shirley Murphy, director of the F.D.A.'s division of pediatric drug development, said that several members of an agency advisory committee that met in May had expressed concern that some drug labels omitted any reference to clinical drug trials that were negative or equivocal. The group included Dr. Gorman.
"They noticed that some labels have lots of information and other labels didn't have information," Dr. Murphy said.
The issue of test disclosure on labels is not limited to pediatric trials. With few exceptions, federal law bars the F.D.A. from acknowledging that clinical tests were conducted, if the agency receives the test data as part of a drug maker's effort to have an existing product approved for a new use or category of patients and the F.D.A. turns down the request.
Drug companies may publicly disclose such failures through a press release or a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, though such information would not necessarily find its way onto a label. And if a company chooses not to publicize a test failure, a doctor typically would not learn from a drug's label that such trials ever took place, a high-ranking F.D.A. official, Dr. Robert Temple, said.
"If we don't agree" with the company, said Dr. Temple, the F.D.A.'s associate director for medical policy, "the doctor would not know about that."
Dr. Temple said there were exceptions, like a case when the trial of a drug shows a new or increased safety risk beyond those previously indicated on the label. Other exceptions include pediatric drug trials conducted under a federal law passed in 2002, the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act.
As with an earlier law in 1997, the 2002 measure was passed to promote the testing of drugs in children because pharmaceutical companies had customarily not performed such trials. Instead, the practice was to seek approval for uses in adults, then leave it to pediatricians to prescribe the drugs on an off-label basis – as doctors are allowed to do, although drug makers cannot actively market drugs for such nonapproved uses.
To encourage tests in children and adolescents, who may react differently than adults do to some drugs, the laws gave drug makers a powerful financial incentive – an additional six months of patent protection from generic competition when the medications were tested for pediatric use, even if the trials showed the drugs to be of dubious value.
Dr. Gorman said he and others who helped draft the 1997 legislation quickly realized that they had failed to include a way to force a company to disclose all results from medications tested under the law. And so the 2002 law required that the F.D.A. release summary reports of such drug tests.
Currently, reports on about 30 drugs received by the agency since mid-2002 are on the Web at www.fda.gov/cder/pediatric. There, for example, a browser would find the summary report on Pfizer's pediatric tests of Diflucan. But Dr. Gorman says he now believes, as a result of the antidepressant controversy, that the 2002 bill was not explicit enough.
"We didn't go the next step – about what would go on the label," he said.
All involved agree that the laws have increased the amount of labeling information about the use of many drugs in children, like the age groups where they are effective or how the drugs should be administered. And in some cases, new warning information reflects safety issues that arose in tests, like those on packaging of some cortisone-based treatments for skin infections.
Of the 98 drugs that qualified for testing under the 1997 and 2002 laws, the labels on 76 have been changed, F.D.A. officials said, while to date the labels on 22 drugs have not.
The information gap between test findings and label information can occur even when F.D.A. officials are aware that doctors are increasingly using a medication off label for a particular problem.
In the case of Diflucan, according to a test summary, it was the agency that asked Pfizer to run the ringworm trials. Regulators were concerned, according to that report, that pediatricians were turning to Diflucan because of dissatisfaction with an older medication and because published studies, some sponsored by Pfizer, reported that Diflucan was superior.
After reviewing two Pfizer-run pediatric studies, the F.D.A. concluded earlier this year that Diflucan did not work any better than the older, generic drug, griseofluvin, which also poses toxicity risks. In the agency's report, regulators also raised concerns that children could face liver problems and other risks if doctors, seeking to treat ringworm more effectively, started using higher doses of Diflucan, which is known generically as fluconazole.
"As some adverse events may be dose-dependent," the F.D.A. document said, "it is expected that higher doses of fluconazole may approach dosages where the safety of pediatric patients may be at greater risk."
Dr. Murphy, at the F.D.A., said that the ringworm tests had not been noted on Diflucan's label because it did not win approval as a ringworm treatment.
A Pfizer spokeswoman, Mariann Caprino, said the company was discussing the drug's labeling language with F.D.A. officials. She also said the tests did not raise any safety concerns beyond those already mentioned in the label. The F.D.A. also turned down an effort last year by another drug maker, Allergan, to get its antibacterial eye ointment, Ocuflox, approved for use in infants because trial data suggested the drug was not particularly effective in newborns. But the label continues to say that the drug's "safety and effectiveness in infants below the age of one has not been established."
There is little question that some drugs fail in pediatric trials because the tests are poorly run or not properly designed for children. F.D.A. reviewers raised the possibility of a design flaw in their report about Ocuflox.
And while the F.D.A. review of pediatric test results for the popular migraine treatments Imitrex and Zomig found that the drugs worked no better than placebos in children, pediatric headache experts involved in those trials cited flaws in the test design. Dr. Gorman said it was important for all doctors, not just those who treat children, to know that trials with negative or equivocal outcomes have been conducted when considering the benefits and risks of a medication before prescribing it.
Dr. Temple said that, speaking personally, he also believed that drug companies and medical device producers should voluntarily disclose test results – regardless of what F.D.A. rules may require. Otherwise, they face the risk of seeming to bury information.
"If I was consulting companies, I would say 'Let it out,' " Dr. Temple said. "Now, it looks like something secret has been uncovered."

Anders Fauerskov, CEO of TC Group (right) and Henry Juszkiewicz, chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar.RISSKOV, DENMARK-As this edition of SCN went to press, the merger between TC Group and Gibson Guitar was due to be completed. The announcement that the two companies were to merge was made in January at the NAMM 2008 show in Anaheim, CA, and most industry speculation since then has surrounded its possible implications for the MI business.
"This merger will revolutionize the music industry for many years to come," Henry Juszkiewicz, chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar, was quoted as saying. "The synergy between the two companies will allow us an enormous advantage in the development of new audio technologies and brings together two of the world's most powerful brands."
What is not clear is whether these "new audio technologies" will include Gibson's MaGiC audio data networking protocol, which was first unveiled in the early part of this decade and was said to have been one of Juszkiewicz's own personal pet projects, but which has not seen any public development since 2003.
Certainly, the TC Group brings a huge amount of DSP and programming expertise to the table, notably within the TC Electronic and TC-Helicon business units. And the Danish-based holding company also offers synergistic product ranges, which Gibson, despite its huge roster of MI brands, does not have on its own.
TC Group's Tannoy is one of the world's foremost brands in the field of installed loudspeakers, while the Lab.gruppen business unit, based in Sweden, recently diversified into the integration sector with its C-Series power amplifier range, unveiled in 2006.
Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but Anders Fauerskov, CEO of TC Group, will remain based in Europe and serve as COO of the merged company. "The possibilities ahead are very exciting for us," Fauerskov said. "This merger will create exciting new opportunities for all employees within TC Group and Gibson, and in particular, fantastic new tools for our markets and customers."

Weeding
Here, have some brain weeds
Since finally finishing up and sending out my last newsletter, which required focusing very hard and for very long on a single thing until it was done, it's felt like my attention span and thoughts have been a lot more fragmented over the last several weeks. I've been trying my best to fight it, chipping away at various bigger projects that I'll still definitely send out at some point. But alas, my brain seems to have won this round, so I've decided to embrace my whole scattered vibe for the purposes of this instalment and do a little mental weeding/Weedsing. Below are some thoughts too long to be tweets, a few of which piled up around me as I was bleary-eyed and working on the Tony Bennett piece. (I'm consciously trying to withhold my Madonna biopic thoughts for something more substantial, so do forgive me if you came here hoping for those.)
The first thing to say is that I'm extremely proud to have an essay in the book The Women of Jenji Kohan, tirelessly edited by the lovely Scarlett Harris and finally out as of this week. There are quite a few of Kohan's series represented in the book—Orange Is the New Black, GLOW, Teenage Bounty Hunters, and more—but I wrote about the one that I have the strongest attachment to, Weeds (which has apparently been off the air for a full decade as of this year). The gist of my essay is that, while the show was flawed and then some when it came to representing disability, I feel curiously seen as a disabled viewer by the narrative trajectory of Nancy Botwin—a character who's been deemed incorrect by everyone around her, but gradually decides to be cool with that incorrectness rather than stay in problem-solving mode for others' comfort. (It makes sense in practice, I think?) I started working on the essay in 2020, so it's very, very nice for it to finally be out. And it's interesting to be referring to myself as "disabled" for what I'm pretty sure is the first time in my writing, too. The book appears to be available just about everywhere that people like to buy their books, but you can also order it on the Fayetteville Mafia Press website.
"claws" (2020)
I've only published a couple film reviews this year so far—I've mostly been editing and actually doing a little reporting for the first time in a long time, which I'll obviously say more about when I can—and both may be of interest to readers of this newsletter. First up, I covered the documentary Alone Together, which follows Charli XCX as she works on her early-quarantine album, How I'm Feeling Now (2020). It's to some extent a film about being Charli XCX, but I saw it as significantly more so about being a Very Online creator of any kind in the 2020s, and I found myself surprisingly moved by it through that lens. There are things that Charli says about work and her relationship to it in the film that could have been ripped from my own diary. And, reading my review back a couple months later, I can see that there are moments where I'm ostensibly writing about Charli but am actually writing about myself as I beat myself up about the Tony Bennett piece. (This will make the most sense, of course, if you've read the Tony Bennett piece.)
My only other review at the time of this writing has been of Marry Me, the Jennifer Lopez/Owen Wilson romantic comedy that also stars Maluma in his acting debut. On a filmmaking level, I seem to have enjoyed it a lot more than most critics, which is cool because that's familiar territory for me (read: Jonas Åkerlund enjoyer). But it feels like there's a lot more to say about the film's meta-commentary re: global pop stardom. As other critics have pointed out, J. Lo is on some level playing herself here. There's also a lot happening in terms of things like… Kat Valdez (her character) keeping alive the tradition of religious blasphemy in pop music, multiple lines of dialogue about the particular tribulations of being a pop star over 50, and so on. Music artists often take roles where there's a little something extra at play, but it's not always this bald-faced.
There are also several new releases that I've kept up with but not written about in any formal capacity. His recent antics aside, I found the first and second episodes of jeen-yuhs, the Netflix three-parter about the early years of Kanye West's career, startlingly good. The third episode is no less fascinating, though suffers on a filmmaking level from trying to cover so many years at once (the reasons for which are explained in the film, but still). I recommend Niela Orr's thoughts on it over at The Paris Review. While I also learned a lot about Janet Jackson from Janet Jackson. (that period is supposed to be there), I've realized that that's largely because I have so much to learn about her—something I do intend to fix once I'm out of Bowie land—and not because the two episodes were exactly illuminating. It's fascinating but nevertheless frustrating when a star advertises that they'll be going there but then doesn't really in the end. And it's especially interesting to currently be making my way through Gerrick Kennedy's Didn't We Almost Have It All: In Defense of Whitney Houston, a new book that's not even about the Jacksons and yet manages to actually go there on the topic of the family. I also checked out the Weeknd's Dawn FM Experience on Prime Video, which you may not have heard about unless you follow him on social media, as it was unceremoniously dumped on the platform the way so much art tends to be these days. I'd classify the project as a 34-minute live rendering of the music videos from Dawn FM (2022) thus far; he more or less recreates their concepts as if performing them on a theatre stage.
Dancing with the Devil (2021)
Recently, Anna Silman over at Insider published a longer report about Scooter Braun and his business dealings that's definitely worth your time, and there are two things I appreciate about it in particular. The first is how it complicates the narrative that, when it comes to their quote unquote feud, we have Taylor Swift on one side and Braun and all of his clients (likened to a sort of investment portfolio, since he manages an atypical number of them) on the other. (If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, click here.) The report does this by highlighting a few different examples in which Braun is speculated to have unethically interfered in his clients' lives, or otherwise done things that were clearly more in his own best interest than theirs. There's a Kanye (a former client) example and there's a Justin Bieber (a lifechanging client) example. And then there's a suggestion that last year was far too early for Demi Lovato (a new-ish client) to release Dancing with the Devil (2021), the documentary about their near-fatal overdose in 2018 and rocky recovery period thereafter.
Which brings me to the other thing that I appreciate about Silman's report: that it gets into Braun's extensive reliance on authorized documentaries—as brand control opportunities, as barely-disguised cash grabs—for his clients. When you keep up with music docs the way I've had to for several years, you spend a lot of time hearing about Braun and even looking at his face. And that's because, since Never Say Never (2011), the film broadly about Justin Bieber's humble beginnings and meteoric rise—and one of the highest-grossing music documentaries of all time—Braun has produced a double-digit number of analogous films and series. When it comes to Bieber, two more docs had been churned out by 2014, and three Bieber docs have been released in the last two years alone. Ariana Grande has similarly gotten more than one of these projects, Todrick Hall got one of his own while he was still a client of Braun's (their falling out is addressed in the report), and there's also a J Balvin one.
The interesting part is that Braun, in addition to having spearheaded each of these films, tends to play a curiously forward-facing role in them—something that's been true since Never Say Never, where he's the character who locates teenage Bieber's school in Stratford, Ontario and whisks him south of the border to become a star. In Dancing with the Devil, Braun is positioned as a sort of hero figure who swoops in to help Demi get their career back on track. He makes an obligatory backstage appearance at the beginning of excuse me, i love you (2020) to tell the camera how proud he is of Ariana in light of "where she was six to eight months ago" during her Sweetener World Tour. (Where Ariana was six to eight months ago is never quite explained in the film, by the way, since it makes virtually no attempt to cater to non-fans, as I wrote about upon its release.) Anyway, I'm always thinking about Braun's unusual presence in the music doc space—as much on screen as off of it—so it was gratifying to have someone else say it out loud.
Solange, Beyoncé, and their cousin Ebony in Life Is But a Dream (2013)
Today, Deadline reported that Mathew Knowles has sold Music World Entertainment—the company that he originally founded in the '90s and out of which Destiny's Child, its members' respective solo careers (let's include Solange here), and lots else would later spring—to a media fund called APX Capital Group. There, he'll head up the fund's new film and television wing. (What's interesting is that Mathew announced about a year ago that he was retiring from music; it turns out that what he meant was: to pivot to film and TV.)
The subset of this news that's likely to gain the most traction in the coming hours is that one of the first productions he's set to oversee is The Mathew Knowles Story, which Deadline says "will trace his story of how he helped his daughters become the global superstars that they are today." There's a lot to say about him being left in charge of this particular narrative—Beyoncé fans can be torn on the topic of what I'll call his parenting style, and Beyoncé has at times suggested that she has mixed feelings about it herself—but it's whatever; such a film was probably going to be made at a certain point. (Since last fall, Mathew has been pretty vocal about how much he enjoyed King Richard [2021], so the idea that he's looking to have his own King Richard moment—which Deadline is leading with/using as the story's entire framing—is arguably a logical conclusion to draw.)
That said, the subset of the news with much greater implications (at least in my opinion) is that APX now owns "10,000 hours of footage depicting the history of the Knowles family and in the music industry through never-before-seen images, videos and music." Mathew is also set to "develop, finance and produce a range of diverse content across feature films, scripted series and documentaries." For the uninitiated, he's a rather complex figure within his daughters' lives—this is a whole piece of writing in itself, but here are a couple links summarizing some of it—and, in recent years, has become known for releasing previously unseen/heard material from the Girls Tyme/Destiny's Child days. (Whether the now-adult women appreciate this is anyone's guess; correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that any of them have ever said anything about it.) Given that Beyoncé started her own production company (one of whose offices contains her temperature-controlled "crazy archive") to be able to help control and shape her narrative—and has a particularly large footprint in the doc space, where everything has a default air of truth-telling/setting the record straight—I imagine that she'll at the very least be paying close attention to news of the sale. Either way, it's safe to assume that we should expect, at minimum, a documentary project of some kind concerning Beyoncé in some way that she won't have played a role in producing (since she does all of her producing through Parkwood Entertainment).
"Sweetest Pie" (2022)
If you weren't already doing so, now would be the next-best time to recognize that Megan Thee Stallion has serious aspirations as a visual artist, ones that go beyond marketing obligations—not only in the sense that she's clearly interested in keeping the music video world on its toes (see: "WAP" [2020] or "Thot Shit" [2021]), but also in the sense that she's barrelling towards long-form territory.
For one, there's the fact that she's set to star in A24's first movie musical project, F*cking Identical Twins. There's also the exclusive first-look deal that she has with Netflix, as was first reported late last year: "Under the terms of the agreement, the musician will create and executive produce content, including television series and other projects." (It may also turn out to be important that the Netflix representative quoted in the report, Tracey Pakosta, is the head of the streamer's comedy arm.) It's probably relevant that Megan has been quoted as saying that she's done substantial work on a horror screenplay, and that her videos have for years seen her reference beloved works of the genre (as well as things like Tim Burton movies, and also just movies in general).
"Sweetest Pie," her new video with Dua Lipa, begins with a title card telling us that Megan came up with the concept—not unusual when it comes to artists and their videos, but where there's almost certainly a reason why Megan would want to say so explicitly and for you to know it up front. (Let me know if you've read anything good about the video, since there's a lot to unpack—maybe even too much to unpack. Here's what she tweeted about its meaning.) I promised someone a long time ago that I'd write something about Megan Thee Cinephile, so to speak, and it's looking like I can't put it off for too much longer.
My favourite new bonkers cultural artifact is this 2001 charity cover of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," featuring—in no particular order—Gwen Stefani, Bono, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Destiny's Child, Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, and quite a few more stars. For whatever reason (most likely my age, though my Canadianness does sometimes factor into this sort of thing), I had no idea that it existed until a few weeks back. The song had been recorded shortly before 9/11 and produced by Bono and Jermaine Dupri to benefit various AIDS programs. But then 9/11 happened, so when the single was released at the end of October, some of its proceeds had to be allocated towards the American Red Cross. Also of note is that the video—a real Much to Think About text—was directed by music video regular Jake Scott, son of Ridley. ●

Update: New EU Foreign Direct Investment Regulation goes live
Dr. Tobias Heinrich |
Dr. Tilman Kuhn |
Sabine Kueper
The European Council ("Council") greenlighted the regulation on the screening of foreign direct investments into the EU ("Regulation") at the beginning of March. Following its publication in the Official Journal on 21 March 2019, the Regulation will go live 20 days thereafter, i.e. on 10 April 2019. The new rules will ultimately become applicable following a transition period of 18 months, i.e., in October 2020.
Main impact of the FDI Regulation for non-EU investors
The Regulation (please see the final version here) sets a framework for foreign direct investment ("FDI") rules in Europe. Given only about half of the Member States have investment control laws in place, it is likely that additional states will implement FDI legislation, as for example, Hungary did in January 2019. Nevertheless, pursuant to the Regulation there is still no obligation for Member States to adopt an investment screening process or introduce specific substantive standards for review.
Most notably, while the Regulation does not introduce an FDI screening process at EU level, it establishes a cooperation mechanism between the European Commission ("Commission") and Member States such that, going forward, a Member State will be required to inform the Commission and other Member States of any FDI review that has been initiated. Other Member States may then provide comments where they consider such FDI is likely to affect their national security or public order, or where they have information relevant for the review. The Commission may issue opinions following comments from other Member States or on any FDI where justified. The ultimate decision whether or not a Member State will permit the FDI in its territory remains exclusively with each Member State.
The new role of the Commission and other Member States will add another layer of complexity to the review process and must be taken into account when planning an FDI in the EU.
The only amendments introduced by the adopted text against the draft Regulation published in December 2018 relate to the timeframe for the evaluation by the Commission, which will review the effectiveness and application of the Regulation after three years, and subsequently every five years thereafter. Regarding the cooperation mechanism, the Council also clarified that the Commission should notify the other Member States when issuing an opinion to the Member State undertaking the FDI screening.
For additional details on the Regulation, please see our Client Alert published in January 2019, which provides for summary of the key takeaways and remaining changes of the Regulation that has now gone effective.
Next steps by the EU
On the political stage, there are still ongoing discussions regarding FDI and its impact on policy-making, in particular, in relation to China. In preparation for the EU‑China Summit in April 2019, the Commission and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy published a paper on 12 March 2019 titled "EU-China – A strategic outlook". While articulating its willingness to deepen its engagement with China, and to promote common interests at a global level, the Commission emphasized its focus on fostering more balanced and reciprocal conditions for the economic relationship between the two economic regions. In addition, the Commission underlined the need for the EU to adapt to changing economic realities and to strengthen its own domestic policies and industrial base.
Further, on 13 March 2019, the Commission published a Commission Staff Working Document on Foreign Direct Investment in the EU. The analysis is based on a new economic data analyzing foreign ownership of EU firms in various industries. The data clearly underpins the emergence of "new investors" in Europe, with China standing out in terms of number of recent transactions.
It remains to be seen if and when these strategic considerations could lead to further revisions of the European FDI rules. But it is becoming increasingly clear that the topic will stay in the political spotlight.

Great Northwest Glass Quest kicks off on Valentine's Day


Public prosecutors have summoned Panthongtae Shinawatra, the only son of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and two others on September 5 to hear a decision whether to indict them for money laundering.
This case stems from the Krungthai Bank loan scandal involving Thaksin's government, which was deposed by a coup in 2006.
The Department of Special Investigation (DSI), following an investigation into a complaint made by the Anti Money Laundering Office (Amlo) in 2016, has decided to charge Panthongtae, Kanchanapa Honghern and her husband Wanchai Honghern for money laundering. Kanchanapa was formerly personal secretary to Panthongtae's mother, Khunying Potjaman Na Pombejra.
DSI officials on Wednesday accompanied the three to meet public prosecutors at the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). The DSI produced many boxes of evidence.
Originally, Amlo also accused Kanchanapa's mother Kesinee Jipiphob of money laundering. But the DSI has decided not to charge her, without giving a reason.
Panthongtae, Kanchanapa and Wanchai allegedly received combined money transfers of Bt36 million from the Krisda Mahanakorn property group, which had secured loans of over Bt8 billion from the state-owned Krungthai Bank.
It had been found that the loans were approved dishonestly by senior executives of the bank, who were later jailed.
Thaksin, who is self-exiled overseas, is one of the 27 defendants in the criminal case stemming from the loan scandal.
After accepting the case from the DSI, public prosecutors told the three defendants to report on September 5, OAG deputy spokesman Prayuth Phetkhun said.
He added that before that date, the defendants would have to show up every time the public prosecutors have an appointment with them.
The spokesman said a special prosecutor in charge of the case would study the DSI's investigative report before a decision on indictment would be made.
The prosecutors working on the case would also consider whether to agree with the DSI decision not to charge Kesinee – originally the fourth suspect – for money laundering, according to the spokesman.
In February last year, DSI brought charges against 13 other individuals and legal entities for money laundering in connection with the Krungthai loan scandal.

Indian Sharath Kamal wins a game against Astonishing Ma Long.
Shivi G July 28, 2021 July 28, 2021
Ma Long, the World No. 3 men's singles table tennis player, raised his racquet opposite to the palm of his left hand and put his racquet down on the table to require a break.
The three-time Olympic gold medallist then, at that point strolled towards his mentor. He looked stressed, an articulation he as a rule powers rivals into.
He had played India's Achanta Sharath Kamal multiple times before they met on Tuesday, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, for their men's singles third round Olympic tie. He had won every one of those matches and dropped only one game. Yet, the Indian maybe had never seen the Chinese hotshot restless previously.
The reporter Adam Bobrow expressed that Long had made it clear in pre-Olympic meetings that any game dropped in Tokyo would feel like he let down his country. What's more, a player of Long's height has the ability to back up that certainty.
Yet, following 19 minutes, when Sharath attracted level to make it 1-1, Long had been offered motivation to stress.
A brief time later Long required a break at a critical crossroads of the match. He was driving 12-11 in the third game and Sharath was going to serve.
Again Bobrow clarified the meaning of the move, guaranteeing when the Chinese require a break it comes from the mentor, not the player. In any case, it paid off. Sharath's beat was broken as Long took the game. And afterward he began to turn the sinks what turned into a 4-1 (11-7, 8-11, 13-11, 11-4, 11-4) win for the World No.3.
It was continually going to be a hard assignment for Sharath to take on a player with numerous labels – The Dictator, The Dragon, The Captain, The Greatest Of All Time, and his name means 'horse winged serpent – and surprisingly more awards.
He has won 28 visit occasions, three Olympic gold decorations, two World Cups and three World Championship singles titles.
He had held the World No.1 rank for a very long time – 34 sequentially, a men's record.
To beat a player of this height Sharath couldn't burn through any time participating in long mobilizes. He'd need to strike the ball well and genuine right from the beginning. Furthermore, that is actually what he did.

Consuming ridiculous amounts of local berries this summer.
There's nothing better than the fresh seafood of New England. And with summer weather, comes massive consumption. I like to keep in simple, too. No frills, no fancy chiffonades or garlic or wine. Just straight up steamed clams, all their salty sea flavor in full effect.
And an iced cold beer to go with.
This summer, I spent two weeks in the southwest, where my guy lives. Naturally, facing oppressive temperatures in Phoenix during the month of June, instead of simply sweating it all out in lethargy, we opted to chase cooler climes on a series of camping trips across Northern Arizona. Camping, after all, is how we first met.
Traversing the stunning, and vast, Navajo Nation, we stopped through the Tuba City Reservation, where my parents used to live, camped in the tranquil high desert of the Grand Canyon North Rim (for the non-tourist types), and enjoyed splashing in the low, but cold waters of Lake Powell at Wahweap.
It was a trip I wish I was still in; away from it all; great talk and beautiful landscape, playing cards, and cold beers, and tents, and camp stove cooking. It's the way summer is meant to be observed.
Check out all the snaps from my sojourn in Arizona here.
