Sun Journal, Lewiston, Maine
Mark LaFlamme: A beloved fire investigator is leaving, and reporting will never be the same
Mark LaFlamme, Sun Journal, Lewiston, Maine
Jan. 24—Lewiston Fire Investigator Paul Ouellette was a man who liked his coffee. So on the night of the big fire on Lincoln Street, I found out how he took it and brought him a cup.
It was an early evening in the late-1990s and the fire was a corker. It was going to be an all-nighter for both of us, so while the firefighters battled the flames, Paul and I sat talking about the nature of fire.
Oh, the things one could learn from Paul Ouellette when he got talking about fire science: V-patterns, balloon construction, accelerants, points of origin ... Paul was a man who took his job seriously and his zeal for the work was infectious. For a young reporter eager to make a name for himself, this was an important guy to know, and that would remain the case for the next 25 years.
At every fire scene I went to in Lewiston over the years, the first guy I looked for was Paul. There he was, gearing up at the back of his big red pickup truck, the omnipresent cup of Dunkin balanced on the tailgate.
While he suited up, we'd talk about the nature of the blaze presently burning before us. What do you supposed might have caused such a massive fire, inspector? Is it that balloon construction making it spread so quickly?
It was all unofficial at that point, of course. Paul didn't get around to doing his sleuthing until the fire was under control and that's when the real facts came out. But as long as a guy was earnestly interested in the nature of fire, and as long as you dealt with him fairly, Paul was as friendly and helpful a guy as you will ever meet.
Over the years, covering fires in Lewiston was a breeze for me, mainly because of Paul. Relations between the Sun Journal and the Lewiston Fire Department never faltered because they had this fellow serving as unofficial spokesman, and nobody I have ever worked with has done the job better or for so long.
Paul Ouellette could give a clinic on media relations. If I had my way, he would.
After 25 years on the job — that's 25 years of getting called out at all hours of the night and in all kinds of weather — Paul has hung it up and is going to do something different.
I'm happy for him, I truly am, because this is not just one of the best sources I've ever known, he's one of the very best people. Paul is a fiercely devoted family man, which I admire, and he's as generous as they come to those who have become his friends.
To properly state how much we'll miss him at the Sun Journal would require more exclamation points than our system can handle.
"Say it ain't so!" said reporter Chris Williams, when he heard the news. "Not only has Ouellette returned calls immediately after a fire has been extinguished, there have been times when he's answered his phone or met with me at the scene of an ongoing fire to give me live updates. We should give him an award."
"The first thing I would always do at a fire scene was to look for Paul and get his take on what's going on," said photographer Russ Dillingham. "Going to seriously miss the guy."
Also departing when Paul stepped out the LFD doors for the last time was a walking, talking archive of Lewiston fires. Paul has handled some of the biggest blazes Lewiston has seen in recent memory and he recalls vivid details about each of them. The fire that destroyed Harleys-R-Us blaze in 1999; the mighty explosion at the site of the former Hotel Holly in 2004; the 2009 blaze at the Cowen Mill; the downtown arson spree of 2013 when five apartment houses were torched ...
On and on that list goes and that's not to mention countless fires in homes, businesses, cars, dumpsters, vacant tenements, you name it. Anything that can be burned has probably been set on fire at one point or another in Lewiston and Paul Ouellette has been there to investigate every time.
He's possibly the hardest working fellow I've ever dealt with over the years, an observation echoed by Lewiston Fire Chief Mark Caron who deemed Ouellette "probably the most dedicated employee working for the city of Lewiston."
In the reporting game, there are simply some sources that impact your life more than others, and for many of us here, Paul is at the top of that list. And it's not only that a tremendous source and a great man is stepping out of our lives, his departure also marks an unofficial end of an era.
You won't find sources like Paul anymore because these days, relations between the press and the municipal departments it covers are no longer handled that way. There's no one-on-one, straight-to-the-source reporting nowadays because little by little, municipalities have been changing the way they communicate with the media.
If police arrest a bad guy in dramatic fashion, we're not getting our information from the officer who physically took the criminal down or even the sergeant who oversaw the operation. That was the old days, friends. These days, all information is funneled through a dedicated spokesperson, who very likely wasn't a part of the brouhaha at all, but who gets paid to collate information and send it out to the media in drips and drops.
With Paul gone, fires will be covered in the same manner. We won't get the nitty gritty details from the expert who investigated the burned ruins with his own two hands, we'll get them from a city official who likely has never donned a fire helmet but who has been advised precisely what the media is to be told. Just the facts, Jack. There's no need for personal observations or the kind of human touch that can make a news story sing and give readers experienced perspective.
Will that system work? Maybe. But as I near the end of my career, I already know that there will be a day where I'll wax on with illimitable nostalgia to anyone who will listen about the days when I got to work with a pro like Paul Ouellette. I got to sit on the tailgate of his truck, in the glow of the flames, and listen to that consummate expert ruminate on the dubious workings of the fire raging before us.
Because that's the way it was done back in the good old days, when reporting was an honor and a thrill. People like Paul made the job a pleasure rather than pure toil, and I can say without ambiguity that there will never be another like him.
Losing a great source is tough and as has been my way, I will now indulge in remorse, gloom and self-pity for a period yet to be determined. And while I whine and pout and mumble "poor me" wherever I go, I also wish Paul Ouellette the very best in his new gig because the very best is what this cat deserves.

The workers' compensation system attempts to streamline the process for handling work-related injuries and illnesses, such as a loss of limb, back injury, or repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. The system generally provides fixed remedies to employees suffering from work-related injuries without requiring the employee to prove fault, thereby minimizing the need for litigation and its associated costs. Benefits from workers' compensation insurance may include medical care, temporary disability benefits, permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and death benefits.
The workers' compensation system is typically an alternative to filing a civil lawsuit for a personal injury claim, and in most cases, you may not pursue both avenues for compensation for an injury.
A workers' compensation lawyer can help you navigate the workers' compensation system to get the full benefits to which you are entitled. If your injury was caused by someone or something not covered by your employer's workers' compensation insurance, a workers' compensation attorney can help you file a third-party claim so that you get the compensation you deserve.
Sometimes workers' compensation attorneys also handle matters in personal injury or employment law. However, some attorneys also handle workers' compensation matters exclusively.
Cumulative injury: The career total of an employee's job-related injuries resulting in disabilities.
Third-party claim: A legal claim by an employee against a party who is not the employer and whose negligence caused injury during or in the course of employment.

Climate Deniers Face Scientific Pushback
By Alex Kirby
PHOTO BY: Credit: Ragesoss via Wikimedia Commons
Connecticut, 2007: Scientific protest against cuts in environmental research
London – People who argue that climate change is not happening or that the scientific case for it is overstated – climate deniers – should probably start preparing for a more robust response from scientists themselves.
A UK scientist, Dr Philip Williamson, is urging his colleagues to challenge online lies and inaccuracies, to counter the climate deniers by objective statements of fact and to use the collective power of the Internet to improve what information reaches users.
Dr Williamson, an associate fellow in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, UK, says the way to challenge those who dismiss scientific evidence is in the scientists' own hands.
"Most researchers who have tried to engage online with ill-informed journalists or pseudoscientists", he writes in the journal Nature, "will be familiar with Brandolini's law (also known as the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle): the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
Demanding
"Is it really worth taking the time and effort to challenge, correct and clarify articles that claim to be about science but in most cases seem to represent a political ideology?
"I think it is. Challenging falsehoods and misrepresentation may not seem to have any immediate effect, but someone, somewhere, will hear or read our response.
"The target is not the peddler of nonsense, but those readers who have an open mind on scientific problems. 'A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on.' But an unchallenged untruth will never stop."
Dr Williamson details one case he is contesting himself – with Breitbart News, the website whose former senior executive, Stephen Bannon, is now chief strategist for US president-elect Donald Trump.
"Alarmists"
James Delingpole, editor of Breitbart London, wrote in an article for a UK magazine, The Spectator, that ocean acidification was a non-problem invented by "climate alarmists" because there was insufficient evidence for global warming.
Williamson was the coordinator of the UK research programme on ocean acidification and has been involved in national and international evidence assessments. He says there are genuine scientific uncertainties, but that they were not the issues raised by The Spectator.
After his complaint to The Spectator received no acknowledgement, he says, he then published a rebuttal in the magazine The Marine Biologist "which prompted Delingpole to write on the Breitbart site that my work should be squashed like a slug."
So he referred his complaint to the UK's Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), which is due to give its ruling soon. Issues in dispute include whether, as Mr Delingpole's article states, "marine life has nothing whatsoever to fear from ocean acidification" and whether "as looks increasingly to be the case, . . . the man-made global warming theory is a busted flush".
Dr Williamson says: "There is overwhelming scientific evidence to contradict those statements – strongly based on experiments, field observations and theory. So it would be a defeat of rationality and science if my complaint to IPSO is dismissed as a matter of opinion, rather than fact.
"Demonstration of (incontrovertible) factual inaccuracy through the IPSO complaints procedure takes time and effort. But I think it is worth it – the scientific process doesn't stop when results are published in a peer-reviewed journal.
"Wider communication is also involved, and that includes ensuring not only that information (including uncertainties) is understood, but also that misinformation and errors are corrected where necessary. The rising tide of populism threatens the future of evidence-based governance."
Williamson says that rising tide must be checked, as social media and websites, without quality control, replace newspapers as the main public information sources. "Not much can be done about this nonsense online, but 'not much' is still something."
He suggests that the global scientific community should harness the collective power and reach of the Internet to counter climate deniers, setting up its own, moderated rating system for websites that claim to report on science: "We could call it the Scientific Honesty and Integrity Tracker, and give online nonsense the SHAIT rating it deserves."

Céad míle fáilte. In Ireland, they don't just welcome you, they welcome you "a hundred thousand times over!" This saying portrays perfectly the warm and friendly Irish. In France however, our opinion on this beautiful country is limited. We've all heard of the lakes of Connemara, we suppose they must be impressive to have inspired Michel Sardou to such an extent; plus we don't doubt the quality of the fish; although there's always a concern that it may rain throughout a stay on Irish soil. The weather is more unpredictable than you'd like believe. Imagine nature's beauty as the sun shines across a landscape drenched by the rain several minutes beforehand. It's at that moment you understand that nothing good can come of a grey sky.
Ireland is an ideal spot for exploring, whether it's on foot, by bike, on horseback or by boat. But it's just as easy visiting the highlights of Ireland by car. People also come to play golf or go fishing. What's more, Ireland is rich in history and legends, to be discovered when visiting its age-old monuments. Dolmens, medieval houses and old mansions to name a few.

Basic plan was great - we saw a lot of Ireland and really enjoyed ourselves. I was happy that everything was well organized and yet we could be independent. I was reassured that I could call on you if there was a problem but fortunately that did not happen. This is the second time I have used Evaneos and have been pleased both times. Thanks for assisting us in having a good trip!

Elizabeth is fine
Dublin was terrific, but we enjoyed the countryside and our visits to the smaller towns very much. The owners of Damerstown B&B were very friendly and it was lovely to gain insight into their life styles. All the B&B's and hotels were well run and the reception was always friendly. The people at Hertz were wonderful and we enjoyed driving around the country-side. There was so much to see, we could have spent another month touring your beautiful country. Highlights were too many to mention, but Powerscourt Gardens, Blarney Castle, a boat trip on the Shannon River, Muckross House and Gardens, Cliffs of Moher and the ferry to Aran Islands are unforgettable. Margaret Kelly at Ashgrove Manor made our stay at Kinsale memorable. Kinsale itself is a lovely village and Margaret maintains a high standard. I enjoyed Ierland so much that I wish I was Irish too. You can be very proud of your country and its people. Thank you. We shall definitely make use of Evaneos on our next trip.
Kleiny
We had a 6 night tour of Ireland - 2 nights in Dublin, 1 in Kilkenny, 1 in Killarney, 1 in Dromoland and 1 in Malahide. Our stay in the castle in Dromoland was heavenly and the Food, Fairies and folklore evening in Dublin was amazing.

Tips and advice for touring Ireland by car
You must be at least 21 to rent a car in Ireland and for the best rates, the allocated driver should be over 25. After you've planned your route, choose a car accordingly. If you're heading into remote parts of the country, a smaller vehicle will be more suited to the small and often windy roads. Pay close attention to the local driving laws and customs which are strictly enforced across the island of Ireland. Evaneos' local partners can provide you with all the information you may need, while also helping to plan your once-in-a-lifetime Ireland road trip.

The Rhone sisters - Carrie and Charlotte - two of four African American sisters, spent a lifetime working to serve the community.
In the New Bern Historical Society's April 12 and 13 Heritage Homes Tour, visitors will see two locations connecting to their history.
One is the Isaac Smith House on Johnson Street. Isaac Smith, legislator, realtor and philanthropist was married to Carrie Rhone in 1898. He died in 1915. Following the Great Fire of 1922, Carrie Rhone Smith built the Johnson Street house, known as the Isaac Smith House.
The second connection is the Charlotte Rhone Cultural Center on West Street. This building was originally the West Street Colored Library, built in 1947 with funds raised in the community. It served as a library from 1947 to 1972 for the black community. The building is named now for Charlotte S. Rhone for her work championing the library initiative and her leadership of the Climbers Club, which is the current owner of the building.
The Climbers Club is a service organization founded in 1921 by a group of nine women, including the first President of the group, Carrie Rhone and the third President Charlotte Rhone.

The Cabinet on Tuesday approved in principle 18.6 billion baht in aid package to help rubber plantation owners and rubber tappers currently affected by falling rubber prices.
Under the aid package, the government will give a handout of 1,800 baht for each rai of rubber plantation but not exceeding 15 rai for each plantation owner. The 1,800 baht handout will be split up between plantation owners and rubber tappers with the former getting 1,100 baht/rai and the latter receiving 700 baht/rai, said government spokesman Putthipong Punnakan.
Only rubber plantation owners and rubber tappers who have registered with the Rubber Authority of Thailand are eligible to receive the handouts. 999,065 plantation owners and 304,266 rubber tappers have registered.
The aid package will last for ten months from December until September next year and, if there is no problem, it can be implemented in three months.

The P element represents a paragraph. It cannot contain block-level elements (including P itself).

The browsers consider each paragraph as a direct child of the original div, as it cannot be contained within a different p. You chose the wrong element to mess with :)

High Stakes: The Rise of the Waterhouse Dynasty
Author(s): Paul Kennedy
When it comes to racing, the name most Australians associate with the racetrack is Waterhouse. This is their compelling story.HIGH STAKES tracks the story of the Waterhouse dynasty - from the early years of the colony to Bill Waterhouse's introduction to the bookmaking world as a sixteen-year-old, working as a 'penciller' (writing betting tickets) for his father in the late thirties. From that moment his future was clear. He went on to make money both on and off the track - and created headlines during the notorious Fine Cotton affair in the eighties.It examines Bill's son Robbie's rise as a respected bookie and a knowledgeable judge of horses, to his spectacular fall, as a result of that same Fine Cotton affair, which led to a life ban from involvement in the racing industry. The ban was lifted in 2001, but Robbie keeps a low profile these days. As Kennedy reveals, the same cannot be said of Robbie's wife, Gai, daughter of the legendary horse trainer TJ Smith. In a male-dominated world, she has gone on to rival her father as one of Australia's best trainers, training horses for a star-studded clientele that has ranged from John Singleton to the Queen of England. Yet as HIGH STAKES shows, the scandal aside, the marriage between Gai and Robbie was always going to be problematic.

Dickens Visits Birmingham
Posted December 19th, 2012 by Birmingham Conservation Trust with 1 Comment
On a cold winters night on December 27th 1853, nearly 2,000 people braved the snowy streets of Birmingham to witness a very special event.
The famous journalist and popular Victorian author, Charles Dickens, would be performing a reading of his new work entitled "A Christmas Carol" publicly for the first time at Birmingham Town Hall. The tale told of an old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge and followed his transformation into a generous and repentant gentleman after encounters with three ghosts on Christmas Eve.
The reading was originally supposed to last around two hours, but went on for nearly three! The audience did not mind this however, as Dickens was a natural orator and performer and enthralled the audience throughout. An article in the Birmingham Journal read:
"What a grand, fine looking Christmas party it was. The lights were so brilliant, and the drawing room looked so gay, and so many folks looked happy and pleased.
"No party either at this Christmas time, or any other, had such a treat in story telling. And it was a long story too. For full three hours and a quarter the host kept the party amused, melted with pathos; or tickled into laughter – not quite genteel combinations; but full of lusty roars, that came warm from the heart; or stimulated to ringing cheers by the homely kindly moral teachings of the tale.
"But Mr Dickens did not only read the story, he acted it too. Everybody was charmed by the way in which the story was told. How Mr Dickens twirled his moustache, or played with his paper knife, or laid down his book, or lent forward confidentially, or stuffed his hands in his pockets, or twinkled his eyes as if he enjoyed the whole affair immensely, and as if the story was told for his own especial pleasure, and delight."
The event had been organised in order to raise money for the charitable Birmingham and Midland Institute, and Dickens performed another two readings at the Town Hall following this. He was a great supporter of working mens rights, and the Birmingham Journal noted: "Mr Dickens having particularly desired that one of the Readings should be given to an audience composed of Working Classes…the Friday Evening shall be devoted to that purpose."
Dickens developed a keen interest in Birmingham and it's industrial prosperity, and wrote a portrayal of the city in his novel, The Pickwick Papers.
"The streets were thronged with working people. The hum of labour resounded from every house, lights gleamed from the long casement windows in the attic storeys, and the whirl of wheels and the noise of machinery shook the trembling walls.
"The fires, whose lurid, sullen light had been visible for miles, blazed fiercely up in the great works and factories of the town. The din of hammers, the rushing of steam and the dead, heavy clanking of engines, was the harsh music which arose from every quarter."
Dickens began writing his "little Christmas book", as he called it, in October of 1843 and worked on it feverishly for six weeks, finishing it at the end of November, just in time for Christmas. He bought it to Birmingham for it's first public performance 10 years after it's publication, and before this time no great author had performed their works in public and for profit, and so many thought this action to be beneath Dickens.
Apparently, Dickens had a rather odd routine on performance days. He would take 2 tablespoons of rum flavoured with fresh cream for breakfast, a pint of champagne for tea, and around 30 minutes before the start of his performance, would drink a raw egg beaten into a tumbler of sherry! During the 5 minute interval, he would consume a cup of beef tea, and always retired to bed with a bowl of hot soup. He always made certain to look his best for performances, presenting himself to his audience in full evening dress which consisted of a bright buttonhole, a purple waistcoat and a glittering watch chain. The stage would be set up with a reading desk, carpet, gas light and a pair of large screens which would help to project his voice further.
He would enact a range of characters, and it was said he would appear "like an entire theatre company under one hat." When Scrooge would appear, Dickens would play the part of an old man, with a harsh crackling voice, a hunched posture and a sour expression, pulling his collar around his face, and at Fezziwig's party, he would madly dance his fingers along the desk as if playing a piano and it was reported that the audience "Fell into a kind of trance, as a universal feeling of joy seemed to invade the whole assembly."
This year marks Dickens' 200th birthday, and many events around the country have celebrated this great authors life. I wish that i could have been one of those lucky souls on that cold night in 1853 to witness such an enthralling performance, but sadly i can only imagine the atmosphere in the great Town Hall that evening as Dickens read his immortal classic.

닥종이에 찍은 목판본으로 크기는 세로 24.5㎝, 가로 16.6㎝이다. 이 책에는 인도의 구마라습(鳩摩羅什)이 번역한『불유교경』과 당나라 영우(靈祐)가 지은『위산경책』이 함께 들어 있는데,『불설42장경』과 합쳐서 불조삼경(佛祖三經)이라고 부른다.
책 끝에 있는 기록을 통해 고려 공민왕 10년(1361)에 전주 원암사에서 간행하였음을 알 수 있고, 글씨체와 인쇄상태로 보아 가섭마등과 축법란이 쓴 원본을 보고 다시 새긴 뒤 찍어낸 것임을 알 수 있다.
원본『불설42장경』을 토대로 다시 새긴 뒤 찍어낸 책들이 몇 종 전하고 있는데, 그 중 가장 오래되고 뛰어난 작품이다.
Buljo samgyeong (The Three Sutras) is one of Buddhist scriptures introduced from India to China, was translated into Korean by Gaseommadeung and Chukbeomnan in the Late Han Era. This book, divided into 42 chapters, contains teachings of Buddhism. This woodblock book, printed on the Korean paper, is 24.5 centimeters long and 16.6 centimeters wide. It contains a scripture called 'Buddha's Teaching' translated by Kumārajiva of India and 'How to Be Awakened' written by Yeongu of the Tang Dynasty. Those three including the '42 Chapter Buddhist Sutra' are called the Three Classics of the Buddhist Scriptures. According to record in the end, it assumed to have been published at Wonamsa Temple in Jeonju in the 10th reign of Goryeo King Gongmin (1361). It also assumed that it was printed after it made a copy of original book written by Gaseommadeung and Chukbeomnan, judging from its calligraphic style and printing condition. The '42-Chapter Buddhist Sutra' is the oldest and the most magnificent book among the ones reprinted based on the original book, 'The Forty-two Buddhist Sutras'.


For any new application to survive and thrive, it needs to be built in the cloud. The world's most disruptive enterprises like Facebook, Netflix, and Uber have gained their market edge because their apps were born in, and live on, the cloud – allowing them to scale, update, and roll out new services as fast as customers demand them, if not faster. That's something which larger, more established enterprises should embrace as well if they want to remain competitive and relevant in today's market.
Doing so, however, is easier said than done. Developing on the cloud allows for far faster innovation, to the extent that we can barely predict how the next generation of businesses will use it. That means time is of the essence for enterprise IT leaders. Software and app development processes must move to the cloud for businesses to stay competitive – and doing so requires a sea-change in how they equip their developers with infrastructure.
Large organisations have large footprints – in data, infrastructure, and process. To keep software development competitive, enterprise IT leaders must find ways to quickly yet seamlessly translate these resources into a cloud-hosted environment. At the same time, they'll also seek to keep development processes lean enough to roll out new or updated apps at speed – not to mention giving developers themselves a certain degree of autonomy in how they procure what they need, when they need it.
Typically, software development succeeds in the cloud when supported by three main things. First, developers need access to testing tools which offer their teams a high degree of visibility. Cloud-based software development only hits its stride when developers can rapidly test, fix, and re-iterate their applications many times within a short period (the essence of agile methodology). The more collaborative the environment – the more eyes can observe the app throughout the development cycle – the more rigorous the testing process, and the more effective the result.
Second, cloud-based software development only works with production resources that can scale at speed. Peak demand is the most obvious issue, but developers also need to account for rapid changes in user feedback – which can result in higher-performance features that demand more resources than before, or greater network and storage devoted to certain popular app functions. Scalable production resources play a critical role in supporting the entire gamut of customer demands, not just spikes in volume.
Finally, any cloud development environment must be supported with the right security measures to minimise the business' risk profile. Any breach to such an environment can inflict severe costs on a business – in terms of not just revenues lost from downtime to key services, but also revenue and trust in the organisation, as breaches suffered by Facebook and Uber have more than proven.
IT leaders must shore up their defences well before software development moves into the cloud, constantly testing them with the help of trusted third-parties to ensure they remain effective.
Moving software and app development processes to the cloud must occur quickly enough for production to continue as normal, but also minimise the friction that developers and others in the business feel because of the change. Ideally, developers can build, test, and deploy their applications in a familiar setting, while still getting the elasticity and visibility of the cloud.
Although while a familiar environment is one thing; a changed mindset is another. For cloud-based software development to thrive, developers need to think in a cloud-first way: embracing agile, investing to transparent collaboration, using security to drive improvement rather than as an excuse to maintain the status quo. That way of thinking is what powers the success of the world's most disruptive companies; the cloud is merely the platform that allows this attitude to reach its full potential.
For larger, more established enterprises to foster that attitude, they can certainly hire newer talent – or better still, rekindle their organisational vision and put the focus of their current developers on meeting and beating customers' expectations. Applications thrive when they're built in the cloud, but only if built by individuals who are truly, lastingly committed to making them work.

#WeOpenAgain High-tech trade fair W3+ Fair networks cutting-edge technologies in the four-county region
On September 22 + 23, 2021, the second networking event for experts in the fields of optics, photonics, electronics, and mechanics took place at the Messequartier Dornbirn in Austria. A new start with potential: for many exhibitors it was the first face-to-face meeting after the pandemic break. In 2022, the W3+ Fair will be held in Wetzlar/ Germany on March 16-17, and in Dornbirn on November 30-December 1.
Hamburg, September 29, 2021. On September 23, 2021, the two-day W3+ Fair Rhine Valley 2021 (w3-messe.de/en/), network fair for enabling technologies, came to an end in Dornbirn/ Austria. A successful restart after the lockdown: the live event attracted many interested trade visitors from the Rhine Valley to the exhibition center, where they were able to discuss the latest technological developments with the approximately 120 exhibitors, partners, sponsors and speakers. Big players like Swarotec, Bruker, Swiss Optic, Materion Balzers Optics and OptoTech but also many SMEs used the interdisciplinary meeting to position themselves for the future with new contacts and partners. In total, companies and networks from 7 countries were represented at the event. More than 35 top-class expert speakers, including speakers from thyssenkrupp Presta, Fraunhofer, CSEM, S.I.E Solutions, EOS, Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions, Fisba, ACM Coatings and FH Ost shared their knowledge at the accompanying conference N-Tec Talks as well as at the EPIC TechWatch. The special area "Additive Manufacturing/ 3D Printing" also attracted interest, where AM Pioneers presented a world first with the Wizard 480+, the industrial 3D printing system from aps.techsolutions.
The W3+ Fair Rhine Valley was opened by Marco Tittler, Vorarlberg's State Councillor for Economic Affairs, and Andrea Kaufmann, Mayor of Dornbirn. Dr. Heinz Seyringer, CEO of the partner Photonics Austria, and Werner Kruesi, President of the Photonics Industry Sector at Swissmem, spoke at the opening of opportunities and possibilities for cross-disciplinary and cross-national cooperation and thus the potential of the fair. In its second year, the trade show and conference has secured the support of politicians and business leaders in the high-tech region. In the future, it is expected to be the central knowledge and exchange platform for resident companies in the four-county region, as well as the gateway for experts seeking access to the high-tech location. The upcoming W3+ Fair in Dornbirn will take place on November 30 and December 1, 2022.
The exhibitors also took the opportunity to network intensively among themselves. The "networking aperitif", hosted by the Swissphotonics trade association, provided a good opportunity for this. Afterwards, organizer Fleet Events with the support of Swissmem invited to the exhibitors' evening W3+ and Friends, which was very popular after the Corona break.
The photonics networks Photonics Austria, Swissphotonics as well as EPIC supported the W3+ Fair Rhine Valley as Gold Partners. A total of 16 trade associations and sponsors contributed their expertise and contacts. The cross-industry concept of the event was highly endorsed.
"It takes courage for the first live event. There was a lot of positive feedback for this. We are very happy that our exhibitors have followed this course. Certainly, we are not yet back to the old size with the Corona-related conditions, but an important step towards normality has been taken. Many companies have indicated to us that they will be back next time and would like to expand the W3+ Fair together with us. There is no better confirmation of our concept. We want to be the interdisciplinary platform where the technologies of the future are launched," says Jörg Brück, Project Director of Fleet Events.

About the W3+ Fair
Originally established as an industry initiative between the administrations of Wetzlar and Mittelhessen, the event seeks to encourage networking within the optics, electronics and mechanics sectors. The aim is that these newly created interfaces will promote the development of forward-looking technologies. The inaugural trade fair took place in the Rittal Arena in Wetzlar in February 2014. Wetzlar Network and EPIC are Gold Partners to the event. The W3+ Fair/Convention is organised by FLEET Events of Hamburg (www.fleet-events.de). The W3+ Fair Rhine Valley event was held for the first time in the transnational region of Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany in September 2019 with EPIC, Swissphotonics and Photonics Austria as its Gold Partners

Carpenter v. United States, Cell Phone Location Records, and the Third Party Doctrine
The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued a decision in Carpenter v. United States, an important Fourth Amendment case that was eagerly awaited by many. The decision was widely cheered as a breakthrough in Fourth Amendment jurisprudence — hailed as a "landmark privacy case" and a "major victory for digital privacy." In the NY Times, Adam Liptak referred to Carpenter as a "major statement on privacy in the digital age."
Although I agree with the outcome of the decision, I ultimately find it to be disappointing. True, the Supreme Court finally took a step forward to bring the Fourth Amendment more in line with the digital age. But this was only a step in the year 2018, when the Court should have walked more than a mile.
Despite the fact that the various opinions in Carpenter total 119 pages, Carpenter only resolves a narrow issue and leaves many open questions. When something is the length of a Tolstoy novel, the plot should advance quite a lot more. The basic holding of the case is that the Fourth Amendment applies when the government "accesses historical cell phone records that provide a comprehensive chronicle of the user's past movements." But a lot more was at stake in the case. This was the prime opportunity of the Court to overrule the Third Party Doctrine, under which the Court has held that that there is no reasonable expectation in privacy for information known or exposed to third parties. The Third Party Doctrine was forged in the 1970s in cases involving bank and phone records. In United States v. Miller, 425 U.S. 435 (1976), the Court held that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in financial records maintained by one's bank because "the Fourth Amendment does not prohibit the obtaining of information revealed to a third party and conveyed by him to Government authorities." In Smith v. Maryland, 442 U.S. 735 (1979), the Court concluded that there was no reasonable expectation of privacy when the government obtained a list of phone numbers a person dialed from the phone company because people "know that they must convey numerical information to the phone company" and cannot "harbor any general expectation that the numbers they dial will remain secret."
As I argued in an earlier post about Carpenter, the Third Party Doctrine is deeply flawed and eviscerates Fourth Amendment protection in today's digital age where so much of our information is in the hands of third parties. Carpenter would have been the ideal case to get rid of the Third Party Doctrine. Instead, the Supreme Court did what it has often done in recent years — tiptoe weakly like a mouse, nibbling around the edges of issues rather than directly resolving them. Rather than overrule Smith and Miller, the Carpenter Court just stated that these cases don't apply to cell-site location records: "We decline to extend Smith and Miller to cover these novel circumstances. Given the unique nature of cell phone location records, the fact that the information is held by a third party does not by itself overcome the user's claim to Fourth Amendment protection. " This is a partial victory, as the Third Party Doctrine finally has a stopping point, but there are an endless series of situations involving the Third Party Doctrine, and the Court has provided scant guidance about when the Third Party Doctrine will apply.
