CHILE: Consumers' Right to Truthful Information
Francisco J. Silva Silva
Juan Pedro van Hasselt JP Van Hasselt E.I.R.L Lima, Peru INTA Bulletins Committee - Latin America Subcommittee
In a recent decision now heading to the Supreme Court of Chile, the Court of Appeals broke new ground in supporting the consumer's right to truthful information. It also further defined the separation between the country's industrial property law and its unfair competition law, and it backed an assertion of confusion of the consumer without requiring proof of the confusion.
On January 30, 2020, the Court of Appeals of Santiago (the court) revoked the resolution of the Sixth Civil Court, accepting a complaint filed for acts of unfair competition and infringement of industrial property rights. Rol Civil-15.114-2018.
In 2018, Hunter Douglas Industries Switzerland GmbH (Hunter), owner of Chilean registration No. 877046, in Classes 6, 20, and 24 for the mark LUXAFLEX covering curtains and other products in Class 24, sued Juan Antonio Amigo for infringement of Law 19,039, namely for improper use of the LUXA trademark (which is not registered) to distinguish the same products, which was misleading or deceptive to consumers. Hunter also alleged that the defendant was engaging in acts of unfair competition under Law 20,169, on the basis of conduct attempting to take unfair advantage of the trademark owner's reputation in a manner that was misleading as to the origin of the products.
The judgment of first instance dismissed the case on the grounds that there was not enough evidence to prove the above-mentioned violations. However, on appeal, the court revoked the decision, upholding both claims. With respect to the trademark infringement claim, the court noted that the marks are similar and cover the same products. Likewise, the unfair competition claim was demonstrated by the appropriation of images of products belonging to the trademark owner, in addition to the creation of a trademark similar to the LUXAFLEX trademark—that is, LUXA.
The court's ruling is noteworthy. It constitutes a precedent in unfair competition where historically the tendency has been to reject claims for this type of infraction, evidencing in this ruling a more modern approach. In particular, the court highlighted the right of consumers to truthful information.
Also relevant is the differentiation and separate analysis of the types of conduct that constitute violation of the Industrial Property Law and those that violate the Unfair Competition Law. Although the laws protect different legal rights, they also have a direct and complementary connection, as supported by the ruling.
The final notable aspect was with respect to the infringement of the trademark, namely the requirement that consumers be misled or confused, without it being necessary to prove the confusion in question. The decision emphasized that "when advertising the sale of 'LUXA curtains', it is possible to believe that the origin, quality or type of those curtains, if not the same, are at least closely related to the same LUXAFLEX product."
An appeal against the decision of the court is pending before the Supreme Court. It can typically take between eight and 12 months to hear a case.

Panzer Personalities
Panzerwaffe / Armoured Arm" or "Tank Force" refers to a command within the Heer of the German Wehrmacht, responsible for the affairs of panzer (tank) and motorized forces shortly before and during the Second World War. It was originally known as Schnelltruppen ("Fast Troops"); a motorized command established in the Reichswehr following the First World War, redesignated as Panzerwaffe in 1936 by Generalleutnant Heinz Guderian.
The men of the Panzerwaffe, are referred to as Panzertruppen (Armoured Troops), were distinguishable by their close fitting black uniforms, known as Panzer wraps. After 1943, the Panzerwaffe, like most other German branches of service, had relaxed the uniform rules and many Panzertruppen wore a variety of clothing, including camouflage and winter items.
Two training schools existed for panzer crews throughout the war, Panzertruppenschule I and II.
Motorized infantry were an early formation, and consisted of infantry transported by trucks. Early in the war, there were a number of light divisions, each a semi-motorized cavalry force created out of compromise with the Heer's cavalry command. These were judged inadequate following the Invasion of Poland and converted to fully motorized units.
The mainstay of the Panzerwaffe was the Panzer division. These consisted of a panzer brigade (two tank regiments) and two motorized or mechanized infantry regiments. All forces of a Panzer division were mobile. Support elements included self-propelled artillery, self-propelled anti-tank, and armored reconnaissance cars. After the campaigns in Poland and France, the Panzer divisions were reduced in size, with only one Panzerregiment per Division. This move was taken to allow the creation of several new divisions with the available tanks.
During World War II the German army also fielded a number of Panzergrenadier divisions consisting of motorized infantry (or armored infantry for some of the battalions, when sufficient half-tracked armored carriers were available), with self-propelled artillery and Jagdpanzer, and in some cases a significant panzer component.

Guten Co.
Meet the San Antonio potter and letterpress operator behind Guten Co.

From the August 2017 Issue Subscribe

When Sarah Sauer is ready to take a break from throwing one of her German minimalist–inspired ceramic mugs or creating a letterpress card, all she has to do is walk a few feet. She simply steps out from behind her pottery wheel or her nineteenth-century-era printing press and heads into the bedroom of her downtown San Antonio loft. The live/work space enables Sauer to work on either craft at any time, day or night, as inspiration hits.
Sauer started Guten Co. ("Good" in German) in her hometown of Fredericksburg in 2014. A few years later, feeling drawn to a more urban lifestyle, she moved the ceramics and letterpress operation to San Antonio. Soon after she arrived, she began teaching at the city's Southwest School of Art, where, ten years earlier, she'd trained under master printmakers and mentors Jon and Eléonore Lee. "There is a specific art culture here that is nurturing, not dog-eat-dog," Sauer explains. "The older generation helps the younger generation get their work shown. There are a lot of artists in San Antonio doing exciting things, and no one is holding connections close to the vest."
Sauer's aesthetic in both of her chosen media is clean and understated. Often done in matte shades of black and gray, her pottery reimagines traditional elements, like a handle on a mug that's elongated or a pronounced spout on a pitcher. "These distinctions make the piece interesting to look at over time, but they also must function well. I never want the user to feel as if they have to baby any of these pieces or be reluctant about pulling them off the shelf—they are meant to be enjoyed."
Sauer prepares her 1890s-era printing press to produce a batch of letterpress cards; Sauer throws a porcelain planter on her wheel.
Q&A with Sarah Sauer
Dessau Pitcher ($118).
You have a strong German heritage. How has that influenced you creatively?
I am a sixth-generation Texan; earlier generations were all born and raised in Fredericksburg. In my adulthood, as I learned more about art and design, I came to love the functionalist art that came out of the past century of German design. I have been specifically influenced by the Bauhaus and how they promoted utilitarian arts that can embody both beauty and function in objects used in everyday life.
What was it like growing up in Fredericksburg?
I grew up just outside of town on a beautiful piece of land and had a great childhood with a lot of freedom. I am sure that had some bearing on how my creativity formed. I am a die-hard urban dweller now, though. When I grew up, I was excited to move into a city environment with lots of density, people, and noise!
Letterpress seems to be a laborious art form that requires a high skill level. Did you take to it from the beginning?
I wouldn't say it was love at first sight. You have to be patient and practice before you get a gratifying result. But I enjoyed the challenge of learning, and my fondness came soon after. I tried it for the first time in high school, during an informal class at the Southwest School of Art, but began to take it seriously at art school.
Hand-bound pocket journal ($18).
Where did you find your printing press?
It's a Chandler & Price, made in the 1890s. It came out of a naval frigate that was docked on the Texas coast, used for printing news and war correspondence. It's a marvel to me the level people would go to, to have correspondence. It was completely covered in rust when I acquired it, and I refurbished it myself.
What's next for Guten Co.?
I want to see it grow and employ artists with a similar approach to making functional art. At its heart, Guten Co. is a design studio that solves creative problems, and I think collaboration is compatible with that. I've spent a few years honing what I want to produce, so I plan to continue scaling up on that foundation I've built.

Q: What does this syntax mean? Is it plain jQuery? I found on codeply an example having the following line:
$('[id^=carousel-selector-]').click( function(){

I think it is related to the line in html:

But what does exactly '[id^=carousel-selector-]' mean?

A: It is the attribute starts with selector.
It will select all the elemets whose id starts with carousel-selector-
Consider the html,
one
one
one
one

Then $('[id^=carousel-selector-]'). will return first 3 anchor elements, as its id starts with carousel-selector-

*

*^ is starts with selector

*$ is ends with selector

** is contains selector

A: It means; select element with an ID that begins with carousel-selector-
You may also come across a similar selector id*=carousel-selector- which means; select elements with an ID that contains carousel-selector-

A: the query is going to click all the element whose id is going to start with carousel-selector- . for example

click me

click me

click me

There are three different html element with random id but starting with the same id name. so this will find them all and do the event what you want to do
or you can also hide the all item on page load or do whatever you want
$('[id^=carousel-selector-]').hide();

So this will going to search all the item whose id is starting with carousel-selector- and do the stuff

Why do Conservatives and Libertarians squabble so much?
During the past two weeks I saw two Conservative friends post rather derogatory items about Libertarians on Facebook, and Libertarians do the same about Conservatives. That is just a small sampling of what I've seen since I've been on social media. At times it appears there is an all out war between the two sides … Continue reading Why do Conservatives and Libertarians squabble so much?

Am I losing my mind or is Rand Paul a legitimate option for the GOP nominee?
I'm not sure what to think. My opinion of the Paul family is mostly shaped by Ron Paul. You remember him right? Older gentlemen, never met a government agency he liked, has a bunch of college-age follower-droids, ran for president several times. Ron Paul is for many the only introduction into libertarianism they have had. Having … Continue reading Am I losing my mind or is Rand Paul a legitimate option for the GOP nominee?

BOSTON — More than 1,900 Massachusetts drivers' licenses have been issued in the names of dead people.
A state audit released Thursday found the Registry of Motor Vehicles issued 1,905 drivers' licenses to individuals after their dates of death.
State Auditor Suzanne Bump pointed to what she called the failure to use databases — such as the Social Security Administration's Death Master File — to deactivate the licenses of people who have died and ensure new licenses aren't issued in the names of dead people.
Bump said the failure to prevent individuals from obtaining identification under the names of deceased people creates a public safety risk.


A little God time is the most important part of your busy day!
This one year daily devotional will encourage mothers of all ages to carve out some God time with the assurance that God is strong when we are weak. Take time out to savor the tender moments with your children. Overflow with gratitude as you reflect on the gift of motherhood. May His joy and peace be yours, embracing the grace and strength He has given you as you endeavor to love your children just as he loves you.
Whether "Mom" is your only title or one of several, the day you became a mother you took on a full-time job with crazy hours, non-existent pay, and inconsistent benefits. Some days, it's the greatest gift in the world to love and serve our families. On others, we find ourselves wondering, Does this job get any easier? Any better?
On those days with more responsibilities than time, more grumbling than gratitude, rest in this: your employer is not that tantrum-throwing toddler or eye-rolling teenager. God chose you specifically for this family; you were the only candidate for the job, and you are perfectly qualified. You work for Him, and He will give you all the support, recognition, and joy you need.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving" (Colossians 3:23-24, NIV).
What part of your "work" as a mother is the most difficult for you? Share your struggles with God. Does it help you to remember you are working for Him at a job He chose just for you?

Facebook Like Machine Dispenses Pepsi
By Edwin Kee on 05/31/2013 02:05 PDT
Pepsi and Facebook do seem to have a pretty cordial relationship, where we first talked about how Pepsi's Social Vending Machine allows you to surprise a friend with a refreshing dose of Pepsi over the Internet back in 2011, while a year later after that, there was word on how Pepsi could introduce a vending machine in the UK that allows shoppers to purchase Pepsi for their friends over Facebook. Well, fast forward to 2013, and we have a new kind of vending machine – one that actually exchanges cans of ice cold Pepsi in place of Facebook "Likes". Could "Likes" end up as some sort of digital currency in the future? Not likely, but it is still a decent indicator in a matrix performance for webpages online.
This idea was hatched by marketing and communications agency TBWA Belgium for Pepsi, culminating in what they call a "Like Machine" that gives a free can of Pepsi for a Facebook "Like", accepting no other form of currency. Man, what would I give to earn a free BMW. Perhaps 100,000 Likes would do the trick, no? Check out the video above to see how you can quench your thirst with some free Pepsi.

WEST JORDAN, Utah - WEST JORDAN, Utah (AP) — Two adults and their two children were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide after friends, relatives and co-workers received text messages from the father saying he had killed his family, police said.
Justin Zachariah Matern, 34; his estranged wife Melissa Ann Matern, 31; and their sons, 6-year-old Gabriel and 4-year-old Raiden, were found dead from apparent gunshot wounds Thursday night in a unit at the Willow Cove apartment complex, West Jordan police Sgt. Drew Sanders said.
Officers started searching for the family Thursday evening after police in Salt Lake City and Midvale were contacted by people who had received text messages from Justin Matern at about 7 p.m. The texts indicated he had just killed his family and that he planned to kill himself, Sanders said.
No one who received the text messages, however, had an address for the family, Sanders said.
After a possible address was located on an old police report, West Jordan officers went to the apartment and discovered the bodies around 8:45 p.m., Sanders said.
He said no one in the apartment complex reported hearing gunshots.
"Had the people that got the text messages not called police, we still might not know about this," Sanders said.
Sanders said the married couple was separated but had no history of domestic violence. He said Melissa Matern and the two boys had recently moved into the West Jordan apartment.
Police also say Justin Matern left a letter at his workplace revealing his plans. It wasn't discovered until after the deaths, police said.

When people defraud the world by impersonating Black womanhood
by Sherronda J. Brown
Black womanhood becomes segmented into things that others can freely and conveniently pick up, but I can never put down.
-@NotYoAfrodisiac
I always think of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) whenever someone pretends to be a Black woman or disingenuously evokes our aesthetics. While there are many who outright pretend to be Black women, there are also those convinced that they can somehow actually become Black women and others who simply benefit from appropriating our aesthetics to adorn themselves. Using Body Snatchers isn't necessarily a perfect analogy, of course, since its titular Body Snatchers are alien lifeforms that takeover the bodies of already existing people while they sleep. Even so, it feels like a good enough and succinct way to describe the people who pretends to be one of us.
Once upon a time, I thought that white women were the only Body Snatchers, and then I learned that other non-Black women are guilty of it, too. It seems that Black womanhood is a property anyone can lay claim to whenever they see it as benefiting them, whether or not that benefit is tangible or imagined.
RELATED: When Black womxn finally allow ourselves to get angry
It's so bizarre to sit and watch this happen, again and again. I watch this same half-way amusing, half-way unbelievable horror psychodrama, over and over, and I squint in bewilderment. I roll my eyes and breathe heavy sighs and pinch the bridge of my nose as I await the inevitable headache.
And I remember that, historically, Black women have often not even been granted the courtesy of being seen as women at all by those who subscribe to white supremacist ideals of race and gender, which pedastal whiteness as a prerequisite and standard for womanhood. I remember all the ways that Black womanhood has been a consistent target for abuses from literally everyone else, sometimes especially and jointly from white women and Black men, and even how so many of us have internalized certain aspects of this misogynoir. Because, sometimes, assimilating into a harmful culture becomes a way of surviving it.
I remember these things and I am baffled at the fact that people can, at the same time, so viscerally hate us—whether or not they admit to it—and also so desperately want to become and embody us. (Perhaps Get Out would be a more accurate and timely horror reference for this conversation, come to think of it).
On National Coming Out Day, a popular Twitter personality and influencer known as emoblackthot, who had presented themselves as a Black woman for years, was revealed to be a cis Black man. The Paper Magazine exposé framed the story as a triumphant one about the seemingly impossible feat of remaining anonymous in the social media age rather than an indictment of the fraud that it is, and this was done as a way to help this imposter launch his music career.
Less than a week later, Paper ran another piece explaining why emoblackthot's elaborate lie was/is so hurtful to Black women. So, not only did they get rage clicks from their initial irresponsible telling of the story, but they also got traffic to their site by publishing an op-ed about why this entire situation is so fucked up. I can't say whether or not this was intentional—though I wouldn't put it past them, as publications have used this strategy to increase traffic before—but, either way, Paper has gained something from this, too.
While there is some discrepancy about whether or not this man has truly been running the Twitter account all these years or if he simply purchased it from the true owner—users claiming to be the original owner appeared explain themselves here and here—he is still currently taking credit for all of its content. If he truly has been operating under the emoblackthot handle all this time, this means that he has lied and spoken to, for, and about Black women under the false pretense of having maneuvered through this world as one of us. Not only that, but it also means he evoked the gendered and sexualized histories attached to the racialized term "thot" as a means to strike a particular chord among Black women in Black Twitter spaces, which I find to be especially insidious. And if he hasn't been in control of the account these last few years, he is still claiming it now only to capitalize on it.
If his story is true, it means people related to him, interacted with him, trusted him, believing that he was speaking from a place of shared life experience. People donated money. People gave time, energy, support, and emotional labor. All with the understanding that emoblackthot was someone who had lived the reality of existing as a Black woman, experiencing all of the misogynoir, fetishization, and oppressions that come along with this identity.
Black women on Twitter were quickly gaslighted when they began reacting to the news with disappointment and hurt. Folks came into threads to say variations of "that's on y'all" and to laugh at those who had sent money thinking they were supporting a Black woman. Karlie Flo$$ tweeted an entire thread implying that we were wrong for "gender[ing] the profile" and assuming it was run by a woman, despite the fact that emoblackthot explicitly referred to themselves as such.
Misogynoir allows everyone to easily dismiss harms against us and demand our silence when we speak about these harms or ask for accountability from those who harmed us. This is one reason why Body Snatchers are able to operate in the ways that they do. It's why they will always have defenders and apologists who will try to either minimize the harm they've caused or attempt to negate it entirely, even blaming Black women for having been fooled by them.
When I learned about the emoblackthot reveal, I discussed the situation with an acquaintance, another Black woman, and she suggested that we should feel flattered. She thought that we should take this violation of our trust as a compliment. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," she insisted. Again, sometimes, assimilating into a harmful culture becomes a way of surviving it. Dismissing this as nothing more than a form of flattery means that no further unpacking needs to be done, no mental power needs to be given to it, and no unpleasant feelings need to be felt about it. And, on some level, I understand this as a survival tactic.
But I'm not flattered. I'm not entertained. My confidence is not bolstered and I am not affirmed or lifted up when Body Snatchers pretend to be one of us. When people defraud the world and impersonate Black womanhood, it is not because they love or value us. Posing as a Black woman means consuming parts of our Othered identity while participating in and benefiting from our oppression—it's a practice in eating the Other. It's spitting in our faces, scratching at our eyes, and pouring salt and dirt in our wounds. It's a perversion, it's fetishistic, and it's nauseating.
And when they have finished making their meal of us, what these people have done is stolen sisterhood. They've stolen solidarity and stolen intimacies from us. Precious things we never would have offered had we known we were being lied to, had we known we were being eaten. This feeling of betrayal is one that is indescribable for me. Others will never be able to understand it unless they have also experienced it, and I don't think anyone else experiences this on the level that Black women do.

"They are so envious, they just want to be us," she reasoned out loud and explained her need to focus on happy things as much as possible. But I told her that I have resolved to let myself be angry about the things that deserve my anger.
From Rachel Dolezal, to the "Niggerfishing" opportunists on social media. From Martina Big's quest to "become a Black woman" by darkening her skin, super-sizing her breasts and lips, and moving to Africa, to the #FreeBambi scam by a white woman who invented the persona of a Black sex worker, assaulted by a cop and wrongfully incarcerated, and asked for monetary donations for her bail. From the negrophilia and thievery of the Kardashian-Jenner klan, to the minstrelsy of Miley Cyrus.
It seems that my identity as a Black woman is something that can be picked apart and taken from at will. Black womanhood becomes segmented into things that others can freely and conveniently pick up, but I can never put down. I'm angry about it today and I'll be angry about it tomorrow. Try as I might, I can find no silver lining in this continual cycle of betrayal and consumption, which every time leaves Black women as the ones being gorged on, only to be told that we are too bitter for their taste.

As a former state representative, Alderman-at-Large and Board of Education member in Nashua, I want what is best for this city and all its residents. But in the past few years I've seen a decline that is hurting our families and our community. I believe Jim Donchess is the best person to restore Nashua to its former glory. With him as mayor, Nashua can be one of the "Best Places to Live in America," as it was before, according to Money Magazine. Nashua won that title while Donchess was mayor, which is no coincidence. When he was mayor he helped launch public kindergarten and made sure Nashua had the lowest equalized tax rates in New Hampshire.
He is dedicated to improving the quality of our public schools and will support police officers in their efforts to curb drug addiction and drug-related crimes. As mayor he will also advocate for the extension of rail services from Boston to Nashua and Manchester, which is something I think all Nashua residents would agree would be incredibly beneficial to our city and its economy.

Q: Does jQuery event.stopPropagation() stop all callbacks for that event, or just the one it's declared in? I have a question about jQuery's event.stopPropagation(). Does event.stopPropagation() prevent all callback functions for that event on that target element (not necessarily the same target but same parent) from bubbling to the parent or just the one it's declared in? To elaborate, say I have this:
$('#someId').on('mousedown touchstart MSPointerDown', function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    e.stopPropagation();
    $(e.target).toggleClass('blue');
});
$('#someId').on('mousedown touchstart MSPointerDown', function(e){
    $(e.target).toggleClass('blue');
});

or
$('#someId').children()[0].on('mousedown touchstart MSPointerDown', function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    e.stopPropagation();
    $(e.target).toggleClass('blue');
});
$('#someId').children()[1].on('mousedown touchstart MSPointerDown', function(e){
    $(e.target).toggleClass('blue');
});

Or would I need to have e.stopPropagation() in both to prevent the callback form bubbling up?

A: In your second example, the two events are not related at all, so you will have to treat them as such; they will both need to be prevented.
stopPropagation will stop the event from propagating up the dom, but it will not stop other event handlers bound to the same element and event. For that, you would need stopImmediatePropagation.

Record level of women in Congress
101 women serving in the 113th United States Congress were inaugurated January 3. courtesy of abcnews.go.com
In 1917 Montana Representative Jeannette Rankin was elected as the first woman to the United States Congress, setting a precedent for the record level 101 women who currently serve in the 113th Congress. Of these current Congresswomen women, 24 were elected on November 6, according to womenincongress.house.gov and the National Journal.
The 101 women serving in the 113th United States Congress were inaugurated on January 3.

According to what Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill stated in a speech on January 3 at her inauguration, it is important for the female population of the United States to have equal quantative representation to men in government.
"I don't think we should be satisfied until we have the same number of women in the Senate that represent the percentage of the population that are women, so we still have a long way to go," Senator McCaskill said.
The record level of women in Congress has sparked much discussion amongst the Speech and Debate team at Convent of the Sacred Heart.
"The strong female presence is expected to have serious impact in more female-related issues, such as women in the work force," junior, Sacred Heart Speech and Debate Congresswoman Stephanie Mellert said.
The women elected to serve in US Congress have plans to impact legislation over a range of issues. According to the November 6 article "Nebraska, Senate" in the National Journal, newly elected Nebraskan Senator Deb Fisher plans to focus her influence on education, infrastructure, public safety, and in providing easily accessible help for the needy.
According to the November 7 National Journal article, "Arizona, 1st House District," Representative Ann Kirkpatrick plans to focus her attention more on minority groups, such as Native Americans.
"It's important that women are in Congress because they offer a different opinion and perspective on the world," Stephanie said. "They add diversity to an otherwise strongly male-dominated sphere in other countries, as well as in different branches of our own government."
The women elected have a purpose, and embody the idea that Congress should be run on merit and determination.
"I believe that the most educated, the most experienced, and most adept people for the job should hold the positions in office, regardless of their gender. Whether they be men or women, we want to have the people who are best for the job making decisions for our country," sophomore Jennifer Esposito said.

Here is the topic we're talking about most lately which is the Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019. So that we can figure out or make a guess that who is the strongest contender of the IPL 2019 Trophy.
Which team out of 8 has become strongest after the auction and which is weak.
So if You are also an IPL fan like me and wondering about the Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019 then here you will get the answer to your question.
When talking about Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019, Royal Challengers Banglore comes first in mind.
RCB is strongest and they are the number one in the list to win the IPL 2019 trophy. I don't see any weakness currently in the team. They have removed all their weaknesses after IPL 2019 Auction.
So here we talk about the strength of Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB) in IPL 2019.
RCB has an aggressive opener, Shimron Hetmyer and Parthiv Patel will be opening the inning. Also, they have an aggressive and sensible middle order.
Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers are in the team who will be playing in the middle order. So you can imagine the middle order. These two are capable to win the game single-handedly. Looking at their current forms, we can count on them.
RCB has big International all-rounders like Moen Ali, Colin de Grandhomme, Nathan Coulter-Nile.
The fast Bowling attack of RCB is also amazing whether talk about Indian or Overseas, both are fantastic. Umesh Yadav and Tim Southee are doing very well.
So, Royal Challengers Bangalore's team is on the Number One spot when we talk about Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019 because we can't point out any weakness of RCB till now.
But What is the Weakness of RCB According to you, Write in Comments?
Here comes the champion on the Second spot when we talk about Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019, CSK comes as the strongest team in mind.
The main Strength of the Chennai Super Kings is that They have Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the top class caption.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the best caption in all over the world and any t20 match depends on his captaincy and presence of mind.
You must have heard people saying him Captain Cool, that,s because he never loses his cool till the last bowl.
Apart from that, Chennai Super Kings all players are well experienced. They have Suresh Raina, who is the all-time highest run scorer in the IPL. All-rounder Dwayne Bravo is also plus point for the team.
Now talking about the weakness of Chennai Super Kings, well we can call this only their strength and their weakness that they have very experienced and old players. CSK lacks new and younger talents.
But this is nothing to worry about because they have shown their talents is IPL 2018 when they lifted the trophy.
So that was the second team in the list of the analysis of Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019.
Next team in the list of Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019 is Mumbai Indians.
Mumbai Indian have become much stronger after this auction but still there are some weaknesses are in the team.
When we talk about the strength of Mumbai Indians, they have well-experienced openers. Last year they had Evan Luis as an opener but Rohit Sharma used to play in middle order due to which they were lacking an opener.
Suryakumar Yadav played a good role as an opener but they have already added an opener to their team which is Quinton de Kock. So that makes an experienced opening pair. The middle order is also well managed with Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Yuvraj Singh.
So the batting line-up is superb now but the weakness of Mumbai Indians is that they are still lacking the spinner's attack. MI doesn't have an experienced spin attack.
Mayank Markande is in the team as a spinner and due to lack of spin attack, MI traded Jayant Yadav from Delhi Capitals. That means still Mumbai Indians' weakness is that they don't have good spinners.
On the 4th number in Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019 list, we have Kolkata Knight Riders.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is a very strong team of IPL because out of all 8 teams, KKR is having the most powerpack overseas players.
The powerpack overseas players list in Kolkata Knight Riders is Andre Russel, Chriss Lynn, Carlos Braithwaite. No other team is having overseas players like this.
The weakness of Kolkata Knight Riders still remains same as it was in IPL 2018. They are lacking an experienced fast bowler.
Though Kolkata Knight Riders added Lockie Ferguson still KKR's weakness of experienced bowler is not solved.
If we come down in the list of Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019, Kings XI Punjab comes to number 5.
Main Strength of Kings XI Punjab is that they have an aggressive opening. Chris Gayle and KL Rahul will be opening the innings of Kings XI Punjab. The middle order is also good and well managed.
Mainly these are two strengths of Kings XI Punjab when we talk about Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019. The opening and middle order of Kings XI Punjab are very good.
The main weakness of Kings XI Punjab is that they don't have good fast bowlers. Ankit Rajpoot and Andrew Tye are performing well but they can't be a game changer.
The name of Sunrisers Hyderabad comes on the sixth in the list of Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019.
Surisers Hyderabad is having superb overseas players such as Kane Williamson and David Warner.
The biggest strength of Sunrisers Hyderabad has always been their bowling attack. They won't easily let win a low scoring match also.
The best bowling attack in both whether it's fast bowling attack with Bhuvneshwar or spin attack with Rashid Khan, they have it.
Kane Williamson is proved to be a good caption in previous season IPL and now David Warner is also coming back. So whoever is the caption, team SRH is still strong enough.
In the list of Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019, Delhi Capitals come on the seventh spot.
Either call it strength or weakness but they don't have Indian Experienced player. Well, DC traded Shikhar Dhawan from SRH but apart from they are lacking good Indian players.
DC has given chance to the younger players and shown trust on the young talents.
One more strength of Delhi Capitals is a good fast bowling attack. If you take a look at the fast bowler's list you'll see Trent Bolt, Kagiso Rabada, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan. Very fantastic fast bowlers are on the list.
The middle order of Delhi Capitals is also very good as having Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Colin Ingram. The weakness is that they don't have Indian experienced players in the team.
Rajasthan comes on the bottom when be talk about Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019.
The biggest strength of Rajasthan Royals is their overseas players. They have some of the best overseas players in the team.
RR has players like Jos Buttler, Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes and the skipper Steve Smith, these are some of the world's best players. Also, they bought Oshane Thomas in the Auction of IPL 2019.
Steve Smith is coming back after two years to the IPL and he will be taking charge of Rajasthan Royals from Ajinkya Rahane. Steve Smith is a good captain and this adds up in the strength of Rajasthan Royals.
Now, Talking about weaknesses of Rajasthan Royals is that, Rajasthan is lacking Indian experienced players. Except for Ajinkya Rahane, Rajasthan doesn't have any big Indian player in the list.
So that was the complete list of Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019.
And you can comment your list of Strength and Weakness of all Teams in IPL 2019.

Anthony Cowan scored 24 points to lead Maryland to a 78-57 victory over host Navy in the 2018 Veterans Classic at Alumni Hall in Annapolis, Md., Friday night.
The Terrapins (2-0) jumped out to an early 10-point lead, but Navy hung around, forcing Maryland to shoot from the perimeter as the Midshipmen held their own on the boards against the taller Terrapins.
A 10-0 run over the end of the first half and beginning of the second brought the Midshipmen (0-2) all the way back to tie the first meeting of the two nearby programs since 1985. It was Maryland's first appearance at Navy since 1969.
When George Kiernan hit a 3-pointer with 17:31 left in the game, the Mids forged a 35-35 tie. But Cowan and Darryl Morsell would key a 13-4 run, putting Maryland up 52-43 when Morsell, who had 15 points (including six in the run) scored inside from Cowan with 11:22 left.
Navy, which never led, would not get closer than seven points the rest of the way. Cam Davis led the Mids with 12 points, and it was his layup at 8:58 that brought Navy within 56-49.
The Terrapins had four players in double figures, including freshmen Aaron Wiggins with 12 and Jalen Smith with 11. Bruno Fernando had nine points and 10 rebounds, helping the Terrapins win the boards 40-33. Luke Loehr added 11 points for Navy, which shot just 36.5 percent (19 of 52) from the field.
Cowan had nine points to place Maryland to a 33-25 halftime lead.
The last time Navy and Maryland met on the hardwood was in Dayton, Ohio, in the 1985 NCAA Tournament. Len Bias led the Terps past David Robinson and Navy to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.
Maryland hosts North Carolina A&T Monday, the beginning of a six-game homestand for the Terrapins, who received Top 25 votes in both polls last week. Navy hosts Coppin State Nov. 14.

Elbow soreness. MRI shows no structural damage, just inflammation. Robin is being cautious, says there is no hurry for him to get ready due to the longer spring period.
This is gonna ruin the inaccurate PECOTA projection.
They build in injuries to individual projections.
Can we keep the PECOTA talk in the appropriate thread please?
Why? Any discussion about the 2013 season of any MLB team makes a PECOTA discussion "appropriate" and relevant.
lefty Matt Thornton downplayed triceps issue. Will throw again in two days. "Not worried at all."
Thornton said he feels "achy, balky, whatever you want to call it. It's just more the likely the process of throwing every day for a week, adding intensity, live (batting practice), cut loose a little bit and it's something we get under control and won't be a problem the rest of the year."
I have a feeling this is going to turn out to be an injury.
I agree, this is something that would normally be swept under the carpet at this stage of spring training.
Elbow soreness always seems to end up being more serious than you think it will be.


The 15th day of the seventh lunar month is the Buddhist version of the Christian All Soul's Day, when the souls of those condemned to suffer in hell for their sins are freed for a day.
The Vu Lan Day in Hoi An is an event associated with the annual wandering of the souls of ancestors; this event has its counterpart in almost all religions across the world. The Vu Lan Day in Hoi An is known in English as the "Wandering Souls Day", as on this day souls are said to wander about their mortal homes. This event is commemorated in all the pagodas and shrines in Hoi An.
The tradition has very old roots, but it continues unal-tered to this day, with families putting out offerings - flowers, fruits, sticky rice cakes, boiled cassava, sweet potatoes and sugarcane - to nurture the souls of their ancestors. The Vu Lan Day is a continiuation of the tradition of seeking forgiveness for the sins of deceased parents, so that they may be spared the tortures of hell and may return home. This day is also a mark of gratitude towards deceased parents. Lights are set afloat on the river to guide the wandering souls to nirvana. Also, on this night food is spread out on an altar within the house to appease the souls' hunger, and false money is burnt as an offering to honor them.
The biggest festival in Vietnam after Tet, The Wandering Sould Day is considered a very sacred event. If you are not just looking for fun and good times, but you want to know more about the Viet culture as well, then a visit to Hoi An during this season is highly recommended.

My Dear Marie
Medium: OVA, series
Director: Tomomi Mochizuki
Original creator: Sakura Takeuchi
Actor: Mitsuo Iwata, Yuko Miyamura, Nobutoshi Hayashi, Rica Matsumoto, Yoko Asada, Chinami Nishimura
Keywords: anime, robot girl
Format: 3 episodes
Url: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=697
Website category: Anime 1990s
Review date: 8 February 2006
This should have been worthless. However in fact it's an endearing little curiosity, sidestepping its genre so deftly that some reviewers don't even seem to have realised. Tech-nerd Hiroshi Karigari fances a girl in his class called Marie, but doesn't have the guts to ask her out... so he builds an android duplicate. Also called Marie. Episode one shows this process in scary detail, complete with the lengths to which he goes to get the bust measurement right. Oh dear. Sounds like the usual sad loser romance, but even creepier?
Bizarrely, it's not. You'll be bracing yourself for some sinister combination of the Harem and Robot Girlfriend genres, but the expected romance is sidestepped. Hiroshi never even glances at robot-Marie, despite her being regularly naked for maintenance and data uploads. There are plenty of adult situations, but Hiroshi's relationship with robot-Marie is half mechanic, half big brother. You'd have every reason to expect another kind of blossoming relationship... genre expectation, catty comments from a wannabe-girlfriend and even the theme song's lyrics all seem to be pointing in that direction, but the actual episodes are blissfully oblivious. The last scene in particular is going in a completely different direction.
A live-action adaptation of this show would be almost pornographic, but the anime's character designs are oddly cartoonish, with jug-handle ears and absolutely no sex appeal. I was reminded of Steve Parkhouse's art style, oddly enough.
Also unpromising was its three-episode length. OVAs of this "blink and you'll miss it" length are mostly forgettable, collapsing under the self-imposed strain of condensing a manga epic into a handful of scenes. Not here. Instead of trying to retell the whole manga, My Dear Marie has simply chosen three strong episodes from the series and animated them. Plot? Hah. There's no attempt at a greater story arc... which I think is very sensible! Watching this OVA is like being introduced to a full-length series by a friend who's showing you his three favourite episodes. It's clearly just snippets rather than something complete in itself, but at this length what did you expect? As a result, these episodes can meander wherever they like, producing quirky charm and sometimes surprising characterisation.
Episode one shows us Hiroshi building Marie and taking her out into the world. Okay, they had to adapt the origin story. It's weird and creepy to see Hiroshi surreptitiously photographing the real Marie and painstakingly building her robot duplicate, but once the new version wakes up you realise you've been wrongfooted. Episode two gives Hiroshi a female stalker. Episode three has Marie persuading Hiroshi to reprogramme her so that she can dream... and that's it! It's sweet, but cleverer than it looks. I didn't watch this expecting anything innovative or even new, but My Dear Marie ended up springing a few surprises.
I've heard good things about the English dub. Apparently Lauren Worsham in the title role completely outshines the Japanese voice actress and makes the show far more lively and boisterous. I'm certainly not going to test this claim myself, but I mention it on the offchance that it's true. If only by the law of averages, I suppose it's inevitable that every so often an English dub will come along that doesn't suck.
At the end of the day, this is just three episodes. It won't change your life, but it's more intelligent and sly than you'd expect. Just don't expect an ending or any kind of resolution... the third episode wanders away muttering to itself into surreal dream sequences, then stops. Nevertheless I found this charming and in its own quiet way modestly impressive.

'To Kill a Mockingbird' is a Must See While it's at TPAC

It's been a few days since the opening night of "To Kill a Mockingbird" at TPAC but the production has been heavy on my mind. The plot line seemed more relevant than ever, tackling issues we still see on the front page of our newspapers all these years later.
This is Academy Award winner Aaron Sorkin's adaptation of Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork and is currently at TPAC's Jackson Hall. Like many, this story is one of my favorites. It's one of the books that made me love reading and seeing it on that beautiful TPAC stage was even better than I imagined.
This production boasts a top-tier cast including Richard Thomas as Atticus Finch, Yaegel T. Welch as Tom Robinson, Jacqueline Williams as Calpurnia, Justin Mark as Jem Finch and Melanie Moore as Scout Finch. Every single actor on that stage made a mark in this production but Moore was the Scout Finch I envisioned when I read Lee's work for the first time. It was like she was plucked from the pages of the original book and placed on the Jackson Hall stage.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" was funnier than I imagined, much more relevant than I ever could have guessed, and heartbreaking. Out of all the productions I've seen at TPAC this was, by far, my favorite.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" is at Jackson Hall through Aug. 14. Get your tickets here.

One among quite possibly the most popular electrical wiring concerns is regarding how to wire a swap. Whilst making use of switches at your home is sort of easy, wiring 1 might not be that uncomplicated for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. There are different kinds of switches, but for this example, let's say you will be putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an extremely popular switch (and also the most basic).
You can find a few colors of wires in the normal single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and green. Splice the black wire in two and connect them on the terminal screws - one particular on best as well as the other about the base screw with the switch. The white wire serves as a supply of uninterrupted electrical power and is generally related to some light coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the eco-friendly wire to your ground screw of one's swap.
These measures would frequently be adequate to produce a typical switch work with no dilemma. On the other hand, when you are not confident which you can achieve the endeavor thoroughly and safely you far better let the pros do it rather. After all, there is certainly a motive why this activity is among the commonest electrical wiring inquiries asked by most people.
For a few rationale, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan is usually amongst quite possibly the most widespread electrical wiring queries. To simplify this process, you should use one swap for a single ceiling fan. To wire the admirer, it's simply a matter of connecting the black wire of the ceiling fan towards the black wire of your swap. When there is a light-weight, the blue wire must be connected for the black wire with the switch too.
You can find motives why these are definitely probably the most usually questioned electrical wiring issues.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung's exploration of the psychology of the self-actualization or individuation process was a journey of self-discovery as much as it was a scholarly contribution to a better understanding of human behaviour.
As part of his study of the psychology involved in the human condition, Jung analyzed his own dreams and carefully evaluated his personal emotions and attitudes. His view was that understanding his own psychological make-up could better help him understand human behaviour on a more universal level.
This personal aspect of Carl Jung's approach to his work in analytic psychology is explored in two books that I reviewed in an earlier article on this website; namely, the autobiographical Memories, Dreams, Reflections and Gerhard Wehr's An Illustrated Biography of C.G. Jung.
Both of these books reveal the personal side of Jung and explore the ways in which his personal experiences influenced the development of his psychological theories.
I have recently added some detailed updates to the original article that emphasize more specifically the influence of Jung's personal experiences on his work.
