Idaho nuclear lab director eyes new generation of scientists
byKeith Ridler
Idaho's federal nuclear facility can become the nation's premier energy security lab while also bolstering the region's economy, the new director says.
Mark Peters has been on the job for about a week at the Idaho National Laboratory, where he's in charge of about 3,900 workers.
The nation's energy security involves the U.S. being able to produce its own energy in a system protected from attacks, including cyber threats, he said.
"This laboratory has the ability to really solve problems at that nexus," he said Thursday in a phone interview with The Associated Press. "That's what I've been dedicating my entire career to and that's what really attracts me. This is the best place for Mark Peters to work with a team to do that."
Peters, 51, works for Battelle Energy Alliance, the U.S. Department of Energy's research contractor at the 890-square-mile federal facility. The lab is one of 17 national Department of Energy labs, which Peters calls "crown jewels."
"Mark's recognized leadership in all fields of energy research—including energy storage, renewable energy, energy efficiency and nuclear energy—and national security makes him an ideal choice as the next Lab Director of INL," Ron Townsend, Chair of Battelle Energy Alliance's Board of Managers, said in a statement announcing the decision in August.
The Idaho lab is considered the nation's primary lab for nuclear research, with those efforts using about 70 percent of the lab's budget. About 30 percent of the lab's budget is used for clean energy research and homeland security.
Peters said he's optimistic about combining knowledge at the lab in new ways that could bring in additional funding "to create this great ecosystem to make Idaho and the Mountain West a center for research and development."
He said a primary focus over the next five years will be replacing nearly half the current staff that's set to retire. He said he's talking with young scientists at the lab to try to understand "what makes them tick and gets them excited" so he can attract more and keep them motivated to stay.
"This is an opportunity to bring in the next generation of scientists and engineers," he said. "How often do you walk into a situation where you're able to reinvent the staff?"
But Peters faces a number of challenges. A different Department of Energy contractor is handling nuclear waste cleanup at the facility that opened in 1949 and that for a time pumped radioactive waste underground into an aquifer relied on by area cities and farmers. Workers in the Cold War era also put radioactive waste in ponds that seeped into the ground.
Two former governors, concerned the site was becoming a nuclear waste dump, attained in 1995 an agreement with federal authorities limiting nuclear waste shipments.
Currently, the Idaho attorney general is refusing to grant a waiver to that deal allowing in two shipments of spent nuclear fuel weighing about 200 pounds for research until a $571 million malfunctioning treatment plant starts working.
Peters, while not going into specifics, said he plans to reach out to the former governors and state officials. He said the federal site isn't in danger of becoming a nuclear waste dump.
Peters previously worked at the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois.

Here is cecile corbel's biography : harpist, born in britanny, her time in the celtic rock band tornaod, the lessons and harp workshops, the concerts and the musicians.
"She lives at the end of south Finistère, where granite cliffs border the Atlantic.
She wanders along the coastal path, through the ferns and gorse trees hidden in the backcountry hollows.
Dreamy and melancholy, she observes the Bay of Douarnenez at the bottom of which she can guess the walls of the city of Ys, the sunken city of Princess Dahut.
She runs after myths, legends and fables, looking for inspiration, for the grace of autumn mornings, for the song of moors quivering in the wind, and the one of the great seabirds which inspires her the first notes of a new melody.
Nomad and troubadour, Cécile Corbel is a tamer of strings, the Celtic Harp strings she discovered at the age of fifteen.
Her long years of studies in archeology have opened the doors of curiosity and brought her to new paths, from Ireland to Greenland, from Burma to Japan where she composed for the animated films of Ghibli studios. "After all, Arrietty's little borrowers are just korrigans," she says. Myths always end up crossing each other.
"When Irish gypsies meet Totoro, when snowmen fly away, or when frogs dance the jig, when the ball of cats and mice is in full swing between two Breton lullabies, Littel one and Grown ups meet each other over these 19 original songs and covers.
This new album is an imaginary and poetic journey in the world of childhood, on the path of the wind, between Celtic countries and Japan.
Recorded during the year 2018 with many musicians, with original duets, and a children's choir, "Enfant Du Vent" is Cécile Corbel's 8th studio album.
Unclassifiable artist, harpist, singer, composer and young mother, twice gold record and consecrated soundtrack of the year in 2010 for the movie "Arrietty the Little World of the Borrowers" from Studios Ghibli, the musician continues her quest for wonder. "
"Telling stories, on stage and in my songs, and play for you traveling melodies, that's what I like most in my harpist-troubadour life, and that maintain in me "the little magic spark," the one that is precious, that connects each of us to childhood and joy.
This new album follows my steps, from the wild coast of Finistère where I grew up, to Japan, this amazing country I have so strong links with, since the composition of the soundtrack of the animated film "Arrietty" for the Ghibli Studios.
You will also follow me in Celtic countries, meet Ireland and gypsies, listen to children's voices coming out of a dream, and to the singing of wonderful women I was blessed to sing with - Japan's Misaki Iwasa or Quebec's Natasha St Pier.
It's a joyous and nomadic record, also a maternal one, since my path as a musician has been enriched for 3 years by the presence by my side of a little man, which gives me wings and a constantly renewed inspiration.
He is the child of the wind, and me too, perhaps, and you, too, surely, who keeps a part of childhood in your heart. Grown ups or little ones, on the wings of the wind, I hope you will enjoy these 19 new songs.
Cécile Corbel in quartet and quintet echoed the folky notes of her last album "Vagabonde" all year 2018, from Brittany to Alsace and from Normandy to the South of France.
The group also conquered Asia with a tour in Beijing, Shanghai, Canton and Xi'an organized by Chinese entertainment giant Taihe Music Group.
The band is planned for a new series of concerts in Asia, (China and Japan) for 2019.
"Cette magicienne qui refuse les frontières abruptes fait fusionner le folk celtique et les chants médiévaux turcs, madrigaux de la période baroque et marches irlandaises, avec l'aisance et le charme d'une artiste touchée par la grâce.
Cécile supports "La Porte des Secrets", a unique place in the restored outbuildings of the prestigious Paimpont Abbey in the heart of the Brocéliande forest.
Unique scenographic itinerary, exceptional emotional and sensory experience, "Brocéliande, La Porte des Secrets" allows everyone to acquire the keys of a better discovery of the country of Brocéliande and of the most mythical forest.
Cécile has been endorsed since 2019 by the French Savarez strings brand, which has been supplying strings from the instruments of musicians all over the world.

Let's Start Building
iPhoneOgraphy – 27 Mar 2016 (Day 87/366)
The Lego Group began in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen (1891–1958), a carpenter from Billund, Denmark, who began making wooden toys in 1932. In 1934, his company came to be called "Lego", derived from the Danish phrase leg godt, which means "play well". In 1947, Lego expanded to begin producing plastic toys. In 1949 Lego began producing, among other new products, an early version of the now familiar interlocking bricks, calling them "Automatic Binding Bricks". These bricks were based in part on the Kiddicraft Self-Locking Bricks, which were patented in the United Kingdom in 1939 and released in 1947. Lego modified the design of the Kiddicraft brick after examining a sample that they received from the supplier of an injection-molding machine that Lego purchased. The bricks, originally manufactured from cellulose acetate, were a development of the traditional stackable wooden blocks of the time.
The Lego Group's motto is det bedste er ikke for godt which means roughly "only the best is the best" (more literally "the best is never too good"). This motto, which is still used today, was created by Ole Kirk to encourage his employees never to skimp on quality, a value he believed in strongly. By 1951 plastic toys accounted for half of the Lego Company's output, even though the Danish trade magazine Legetøjs-Tidende ("Toy-Times"), visiting the Lego factory in Billund in the early 1950s, felt that plastic would never be able to replace traditional wooden toys.
Although a common sentiment, Lego toys seem to have become a significant exception to the dislike of plastic in children's toys, due in part to the high standards set by Ole Kirk.
By 1954, Christiansen's son, Godtfred, had become the junior managing director of the Lego Group. It was his conversation with an overseas buyer that led to the idea of a toy system. Godtfred saw the immense potential in Lego bricks to become a system for creative play, but the bricks still had some problems from a technical standpoint: their locking ability was limited and they were not versatile.
In 1958, the modern brick design was developed; however, it took another five years to find the right material for it, ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) polymer. The modern Lego brick design was patented on 28 January 1958.
The Lego Group's Duplo product line was introduced in 1969 and is a range of simple blocks which measure twice the width, height and depth of standard Lego blocks and are aimed towards younger children.
In 1978, Lego produced the first minifigures, which have since become a staple in most sets.
In May 2011, Space Shuttle Endeavour mission STS-134 brought 13 Lego kits to the International Space Station, where astronauts built models to see how they would react in microgravity, as a part of the Lego Bricks in Space program. The results will be shared with schools as part of an educational project.
In May 2013, the largest model ever created was displayed in New York and was made of over 5 million bricks; a 1:1 scale model of an X-wing fighter. Other records include a 112-foot tower and a 4 kilometer railway.
In February 2015, Lego replaced Ferrari as the "world's most powerful brand."
Lego's popularity is demonstrated by its wide representation and usage in many forms of cultural works, including books, films and art work. It has even been used in the classroom as a teaching tool. In the USA, Lego Education North America is a joint venture between Pitsco, Inc. and the educational division of the Lego Group.
In 1998, Lego bricks were one of the original inductees into the National Toy Hall of Fame at The Strong in Rochester, New York.

Clarian Health Secures $190M for Medical Campus
FISHERS, IN-The Herrick Co. provided the needed financing for both the construction of phase one and Clarian's ownership in the development.
By Katie Hinderer | November 24, 2009 at 09:01 PM
FISHERS, IN-Clarian Health Partners Inc. has secured $190 million in financing for the proposed Clarian Saxony Medical Center Campus here. Cain Brothers' Real Estate acted as Clarian's financial advisor in the deal and also managed to secure a build-to-suit construction leaseback, long-term ownership deal for Clarian.
The Herrick Co. Inc. provided the financing. The real estate investment firm, which has been in operation since 1960, has been involved in more that $3 billion worth of transactions.
Plans for the medical center campus have been in the works for years, with the first sketch of the project going before the public in November of 2007. Without financing the first phase, estimated to cost $180 million, has been stalled. But with the construction and ownership capital in place, Clarian was able to move from the planning phase to actual construction.
This first stage provides for the construction of a 200,000-square-foot forty-bed hospital and urgent care center, and a 100,000-square-foot medical office building. HKS was the architect on the project. Turner Construction and Harmon Construction are join venturing on the construction.
The campus will be built within the 725-acre Saxony mixed-use development in Hamilton County. In 2007, the project was estimated to be worth $750 million and would add one million square feet of retail, 3.5 million square feet of office/industrial and 1,300 residential units.

The Philippines has been one of the most prosperous places in the world to set up a company in. Being a country that has a diverse and ethnic culture has made the people living in the Philippines, one of the most literate and most reliable workforces in the world. From a company formation perspective, this is one of the essential things that a company looks for, a literate and robust workforce. With the government of the Philippines taking new steps to attract foreign investors, it has now become more comfortable for them to establish a corporation in the Philippines. Once you have decided to start a company in the Philippines, it is also necessary that some tasks can be outsourced to companies who are experienced in a particular field. Here are five things that you should consider doing after you set up a company in the Philippines.
Advantages of Setting up Your Company in the Philippines
But before all of that, let us understand the benefits of setting up a company in the Philippines. Here are some benefits of setting up your company in the Philippines;
Ease of Doing Business in the Philippines: The Philippines is a country where it is easy to do business. The people in the Philippines do understand English and on top of that, are very courteous and helpful. Moreover, the government of the Philippines has reduced tax rates for both mainland companies as well as the offshore corporation in the Philippines, which has boosted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the Philippines.
Strong Workforce: The Philippines has one of the most capable workforces in the region, with a literacy rate of 95.6% in 2018. Having been influenced by the US for more than 50 years, English is widely spoken and understood within the country. Although they have a distinct dialect, Filipinos can adjust their communication accordingly.
Ease of Finding Young and Skilled Labour: Having access to cheap and skilled labour is what most of the company's lookout for, as it will reduce the overhead costs of the company, which in return will benefit in investing elsewhere. The Philippines has no such shortage of people. With an average age of a Filipino being 23 years, it becomes easier for the companies to hire them.
High-Quality Outcomes: According to research publishers, the Philippines ranks at the top, in terms of delivering quality service to clients. Ensuring quality performance is one of the main things that corporations in the Philippines aim for to be the best.
Highly Favourable Economic Conditions: The government of the Philippines has always taken steps such as TRAIN (Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion), to provide more opportunities and reduce payment of tax in the Philippines.
Market opportunities: While the domestic market is offering many opportunities to start a new business in the Philippines, it is also a place which can help expand your market into the Asia-Pacific region, more specifically, the ASEAN countries.
5 Things You can do, once your company has set up in the Philippines
Once you have understood the advantages of setting up a business in the Philippines, it is also necessary to realize that the company can do not everything.

Indonesia signed a major comprehensive FTA with Japan in 2007. In February 2012, it signed a preferential trade agreement with Pakistan which the two governments intend to turn into an FTA. But the Pakistan government has reportedly refused to start new negotiations until its concerns on the existing agreement are addressed.
Right now, Indonesia is negotiating trade deals with Australia, Chile, EFTA (European Free Trade Area), the European Union, Korea, India and Ukraine. It has also expressed an interest to join the Transpacific Partnership (TPP) and to establish a free trade zone with the Eurasian Economic Union. Since 2012, Jakarta is part of the controversial Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) talks with the nine other ASEAN (Association of South-East Asian Nations) governments and their six FTA partners: Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea.
As member of ASEAN, Indonesia is also party to the group's FTAs with Australia and New Zealand, China, India, Japan and Korea, as well as the ASEAN Economic Community.
Following a growing discontent against the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism, whereby foreign investors can seek compensation in an arbitration tribunal if new laws or regulations negatively affect their investment potential, Indonesia decided in 2014 to phase out 67 of its bilateral investment treaties. The government has terminated 20 treaties so far and has been developing a new model BIT that would supposedly reflect a more balanced approach between the country's right to regulate and foreign investor protection.

The trial against Cliven Bundy and his sons was delayed for a week over questions about whether the government withheld surveillance videos of the Bundy Ranch during the 2014 standoff. Jurors were about to be called into the courtroom to hear opening statements Tuesday when the trial derailed and federal prosecutors were asked to account for evidence they said did not exist.

"The Niamakala and his N'goni"
Djèli Baba is the father of a numerous family. Here he is pictured in the courtyard of his Quizembougou house, surrounded by his family.
INTERVIEW WITH DJELI BABA SISSOKO.
Malinet: Father, who are you?
Djèli Baba: Ha! I am Djèli Baba, our djèliya, who are now called djèli, in the past were called Niamakala. If you are a Djèli you are first and foremost a Niamakala.
Malinet: What does it mean to be a Niamakala amongst us?
Djèli Baba: It means uniting people so that they understand one another. Binding them, what does bamanan means in our language?
In current language, very simply (niamma I kA U kala = help me to stitch them together). To speak so that people can understand, so there is no dispute. That's what Niamakala means. Djèli…anyone who asks or looks for charity is called djèli, but not everybody can be Niamakala.
Malinet: What else does Niamakala mean?
Djeli Baba: When there is a dispute between two people, Niamakala intervenes to end the argument.
When husband and wife argue Niamakala intervenes to end the argument and the marriage becomes happy again. When a father and his sons fight, we intervene to bring them to peace again and the bond between father and children is consolidated. When a mother and her daughter argue, we intervene to put a stop to it and their bond reforms. When two relatives fight, the Namakala intervenes to end the argument and the relationship strengthens. When two neighbours fight, we intervene to put a stop to it and coexistence improves. When two villages are in conflict, we seek out the Niamakala of the two villages in dispute. We intervene to put a stop to it, and the comprehension between these two villages returns.
We intervene to put a stop to disputes: this is what has been transformed and is now called Djeliya Djèli. It is no more than this. All those who continue this tradition are called djèli.
Malinet: How did Djèliya start?
Djèli Baba: Djeliya started with the Niamakalaya. We call those who sing "djèli". All those who ask for charity, even if they do not speak, are already djeli.
The passage from being a djèli to becoming a djèliya is possible for anyone.
The Traore can do this.
The Keita can do this.
For us, anyone who talks a lot or who sings is called a djèli.
Djèliya and Niamakala are two different acts. The djeli asks for charity, but not the Niamakala.
I am a Niamakala, I am Djèli Baba. I do not travel through the country and amongst people to ask for charity. If I am called out for a task I will go and perform that task. They call us Niamakala and we survive from this activity recognised by society.
Malinet: Are there family names at the origin of the Niamakala?
Djèli Baba: The names that are at the origin of the Niamakala, are rare, very rare, although they can be found in all races. Niamakala means uniting people so that they can understand one another better and reconciling those involved in controversies.
The djèli praise all, sing for all and ask for payment in money. I am Djèli Baba and I live in this town, Bamako: here they call me Djèni Baba, I am not a djèli - I tell tales or facts to please people. I play the N'Goni (a kind of guitar), I tell tales or facts, they call us Niamakala. We visit great men, respected people, those who have always known how to reconcile nations. Talking to bring reconciliation between people, this is Niamakalaya. The djèli is a derivation of the Niamakala, djèliya is not a privilege, it is a race, anyone can become a djèli.
Malinet: Where do you come from?
Djèli Baba: I am Djèli Baba, I came from Nioro, my village is Djoumara: about 70 years ago. I came as a young man from Bamako, I married here and had children. Nioro is a town in Mali: it is my capital. I was born in Sanamkoro-Djoumara. There are many kinds of Niamakala, there are blacksmiths, cobblers, etc… A cobbler works with leather, a blacksmith works with iron, the Niamakala arrange weddings for nobility, takes the bride to her new family, asks the members of that family to consider her one of their own. This is our work. I am at ORTM, I talk on the radio every Monday evening. There are many kinds of Niamakala, there are blacksmiths, cobblers … They do not ask for charity. Sometimes some of them do and they return to the ranks of the Djèli, they lose the status of Niamakala, as intended by the previous definition. Today I am here, I greet everyone, whether white or black, I want everyone to be united because we all come from the same mother and father, Adam and Eve. White is not better than black, and black is not better than white. We have the same soul, the same blood. I greet everyone, whether their skin is black or white. I want to add that one is born a Niamakala. I, Djèli Baba, inherited this from my father, who inherited it from his and from our ancestors. When a father has good work and you carry it on, you have followed the blood line. Our bloodline. The reason of our Niamakalaya.

Q: JQuery/AJAX: Functions using ID's from external content The Idea
I have a main PHP page that loads content in DIV's from an external file using JQuery and AJAX.
The page works as follows:

*

*Main page has list of links, when link is clicked, AJAX loads an external DIV onto the page.

*This new DIV, then has another list of links, when clicked, AJAX again loads another external DIV

*There are now 3 DIVs containing lists of links, this process can be repeated again and again.

Each of the links in the DIV has parameters that filter results for the next DIV.

  Link

The problem
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#Destination_Div01 a').click(function(){
        $("#Destination_Div02").load("External.php"+$(this).attr('href')+" #Target_Div02");
        return false;
    });

    $('#Destination_Div02 a').click(function(){
        $("#Destination_Div03").load("External.php"+$(this).attr('href')+" #Target_Div03");
        return false;
    });
});

When the page is first loaded, only one DIV exists, when the new DIV is loaded, i don't think that JQuery notices that there is now a new DIV with links.
So now, when a link in the new Destination_Div02 is clicked, JQuery doesn't recognise the associated function and the browser continues to load the URL of the link.
Instead what it is meant to do is use AJAX to pass the links URL parameters to the external PHP file, filter a recordset and return a new DIV.
How do get JQuery to function with the newly generated links?

The Answer
Credit to "great_llama"
Ensure you have JQuery 1.3+ and change code to $('#Destination_Div01 a').live("click", function(){
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#Destination_Div01 a').live("click", function(){
        $("#Destination_Div02").load("External.php"+$(this).attr('href')+" #Target_Div02");
        return false;
    });

    $('#Destination_Div02 a').live("click", function(){
        $("#Destination_Div03").load("External.php"+$(this).attr('href')+" #Target_Div03");
        return false;
    });
});

A: With jQuery 1.3 came the ability to bind to future matching elements, using the .live method.

"Binds a handler to an event (like
  click) for all current - and future -
  matched element. Can also bind custom
  events."

A: I think the best solution is to use the callback parameter so after your dynamic content is loaded you can interact with its DOM.
$('#Destination_Div02 a').click(function(){
    $("#Destination_Div03")
    .load("External.php"+$(this).attr('href')+" #Target_Div03", null, function() {
         $(this).click( ///your click code again/// );
         //according to the docs this is the element you just loaded
    );
    return false;
});

A: put your subsequent $('div').click() inside the callback function for each previous click:
$('div1').click(function(){
    $('div2').load(link, data, function(){
        $('div2').click(function(){
            $('div3').load(link, data, function(){})
        })
    })
})

or you could give those links a class, and every time you add a new div, call a function that populates a list of links that have actions when clicked:
$('div1').click(function(){
    $('div2').load(link, data, function(){
        some_function();
    }
});

function some_function(){
    $('.class').click(function(){
        //logic here
    }
});

Кук () — округ в штате Иллинойс. Это второй из самых густонаселённых округов в США после Лос-Анджелеса. В округе Кук проживает 5 294 664 человека, что составляет 43,3 % всех жителей Иллинойса. Население округа больше, чем 29 отдельных больших штатов США и ещё 7 маленьких штатов. Округ включает в себя 130 жилых территорий, крупнейшей из которых является центр округа, Чикаго, в котором сосредоточено 54 % населения всего округа.

История
Округ был сформирован 15 января 1831. Это был 54-й округ, созданный в Иллинойсе, он был назван в честь Дэниэла Кука — одного из самых активных и молодых государственных деятелей в истории Иллинойса, который служил в качестве второго представителя США от штата Иллинойс. Также он был генеральным прокурором штата Иллинойс. Вскоре после этого, в 1839 году, из округа Кук был выделен округ Ду-Пейдж.

География
По данным Бюро переписи населения США, округ имеет общую площадь в 4235 км², 2449 км² — земля, и 1785 км² (42,16 %) — вода, большинство из неё в озере Мичиган. Самая высокая точка в округе Кук на Северо-Западе — почти на 1000 метров над уровнем моря.

Basic Facts & Figures
The welcoming and protection of refugees is not a numbers game. Every refugee's personal experience is unique. Nevertheless, because there are a lot of wrong numbers out there it's good to know some of the right ones.
The number of refugees around the world keeps growing and has reached 25.9 million people (UNHCR, 2018)
This number includes 20.4 million people under UNHCR's mandate and 5.5 million under UNRWA's mandate.
There are a further 41.3 million internally displaced people and 3.5 million people seeking asylum, meaning the number of displaced people worldwide has reached 70.8 million.
Every day, there was an average of 37,000 new displacements every day.
13.6 million people were newly displaced last year alone.
Children under 18 years old made up about half of the refugee population in 2018.
16% of the world's refugees are hosted by developing countries (UNHCR, 2018)
Turkey currently hosts the highest number of refugees worldwide amounting to 3.7 million people.
Following Turkey the countries who host the highest number of refugees are Pakistan, Uganda, Sudan and Germany.
Most refugees flee to their neighbouring country whilst only a small proportion travel to developed countries in Europe and elsewhere.
In 2018, Iran, Iraq, Eritrea, Pakistan, and Albania were the top five countries that people seeking asylum in the UK came from (Refugee Council, 2018)
Eritrea, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh have been in the top ten countries of origin of those seeking asylum in the UK in every one of the last 7 years.
Most of these countries have either recently experienced conflict or have well-documented human rights abuses.
The 'the world's forcibly displaced population remained yet again at a record high', says UNHCR
Most of the world's refugees are from Syria Arab Republic, with 6.7 million people having fled their country.
In 2018, 13.6 million people were newly displaced, 889,400 of these are Syrians.
Syrians continued to be the largest forcibly displaced population, with 13.0 million people living in displacement.

Youku, a leading video streaming service owned by Alibaba, is suing online content aggregator Toutiao (in Chinese) and video platform Yuncheng Sunshine Media (our translation; 运城阳光传媒 in Chinese) for distributing the movie Wolf Warriors 2. Youku has exclusive online distribution rights. Youku is also demanding a compensation totaling RMB 1 million (roughly $158,000). The local court in Haidian, Beijing, has received and accepted the case.
Released in cinema in July 2017, the action movie Wolf Warriors 2 has succeeded at the Chinese box office with takings of $854 million. After getting the distribution rights, Youku later sold and authorized iQiyi and Tencent for distribution on their platforms. The film was released online on Youku, iQiyi, and Tencent simultaneously on November 3, 2017.
Toutiao, however, provided users with the film that was linked to a system run by Yuncheng Sunshine without acquiring the distribution right. Youku thus accused Toutiao of failing to review the content on its platform and infringement of the distribution right.
In fact, Toutiao is also facing multiple lawsuits regarding patents. Just a few days ago, short video app Xigua Video (西瓜视频 in Chinese) under Toutiao was accused of infringement of patents (in Chinese) in the technology it used on the streaming service, such as the technique to fast forward and rewind videos.
Founded in 2012, Toutiao is a Beijing-based news and content platform powered by AI technology and generates a customized feed for users. The aggregator reportedly had 120 million daily active users (in Chinese) as of July 2017.

WINNIPEG, Dec. 16 2010 – The Great-West Life Assurance Company supports the proposed framework for Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPP) developed by the federal government for consultation with the provinces.
"This innovative approach would increase the availability of pension plans to working Canadians, especially those working for smaller companies, and help ensure that they save adequately and effectively for their retirement," said Bill Kyle, Great-West Life's Executive Vice-President, Wealth Management.
The PRPP provides a plan structure to pool smaller employers' assets together to allow the plan to benefit from economies of scale.
The proposed PRPP structure makes it administratively attractive to the sponsoring employer as a majority of the complex pension administration will be performed by the financial institution providing the plan.
Effective retirement savings requires that employees keep their contributions in the plan so they can benefit from tax-effective compound growth. The PRPP proposes using a pension structure which allows locking in which will help ensure monies set aside remain in the plan for retirement.
The auto-enrollment feature proposed under the PRPP will promote higher retirement savings participation rates among the employees of these plans.
The auto-escalation feature proposed under the PRPP will result in higher average retirement savings account balances among the employees of these plans.
Great-West Life administers over 17,000 group retirement plans with total plan membership of over 1.2 million in Canada. In the United States, Great-West is the fourth-largest group retirement plan record keeper based on total participants and Putnam Investments adds to the organization's North American presence in this market. Together, the companies serve over 6 million group retirement plan members. www.greatwestlife.com.

A majority of Consumers Expect Kenya to go Cashless in Future – Report
By Wanjiku Mbugua	 Last updated Oct 5, 2020
COVID-19 has seen consumers across the world ditch cash and in-person shopping in favour of online spending, according to Standard Chartered's latest global survey. Almost three-quarters of survey respondents in Kenya (64 per cent globally) agree that COVID-19 has made them more positive about online shopping, but they are also more careful with their spending and want new ways to track their money digitally.
The study of 12,000 adults across 12 markets – Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mainland China, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, Taiwan, UAE, the UK and the US – is the second in a three-part series, looking at how COVID-19 has transformed our way of life, and what changes look here to stay. While the first survey focused on the pandemic's impact on earnings, the second offers new insights into the way the global health crisis is changing consumer spending habits.
Respondents in all 12 markets anticipate doing more of their shopping online from now on. In Kenya, 79 per cent preferred to shop in-person prior to the pandemic compared to 21 per cent online. But this has shifted significantly, with more than half (51%) now preferring online payments to in-person, card or cash payments for future purchases. At 30 per cent, this is the largest increase in preference for online shopping of any market surveyed. Respondents in the UK, China, the US and Taiwan, while still anticipating an overall increase, are at the other end of the scale, believing their online spending will grow by less than 10 per cent in the future.
This increase in preference for online payments is true across a range of purchases, from groceries and travel to digital devices. As a result, almost two-thirds (64 per cent) of people globally and 60 per cent in Kenya now expect their country to go fully cashless. In Kenya, of those who believe the country will one day go cashless, the average predicted year is 2033.
Commenting on the poll, Standard Chartered Head of Retail Banking, Edith Chumba said the survey results are supported by Standard Chartered's ATM withdrawals data which shows that a cross the ten surveyed markets, where Standard Chartered offers consumer banking (all except the UK and US), COVID-19 has dramatically accelerated the decline in ATM usage. "Cash withdrawals from ATMs are now half what they were two years ago. Today, 89% of transactions are being conducted digitally with a 62% and 90% penetration for our Retail and Corporate clients respectively. Our digital banking platform with more than 70 digitally accessible services, allows our clients to open an account, transact, buy and sell government securities, invest in some of the most diverse mutual funds across the globe and access an array of insurance products," added Ms Chumba.
Meanwhile, as spending begins to creep up as lockdowns ease globally – 49 percent in Kenya (46 per cent globally) reported increased spending in July – 93 per cent of Kenyans said the pandemic has made them more careful with their expenditure (75 per cent globally), the highest proportion of any country surveyed.
Reflecting this increased caution, 91 per cent of Kenyan respondents said that the economic impact of COVID-19 has made them more likely to track their spending, with over 80 per cent of Kenyans either using or interested in using budgeting tools or tools that block card-spend over specified limits.
Consumers around the world are now spending more on basics – such as groceries and healthcare – and digital devices than they did prior to the pandemic, and they expect this increase to continue in the future. This trend is reflected in Kenya, with consumers seeing a 58 per cent increase in their expenditure on groceries, a 59 per cent increase in spend on digital devices, and a 39 per cent increase in healthcare expenditure.
Meanwhile in Kenya, 80 per cent of people say they have spent less on travel/holidays than they did before the pandemic, while 49 per cent have spent less on experiences, and 83 per cent have spent less on clothes.
As well as increased caution when it comes to spending, consumers are increasingly conscientious. This is good news for small businesses and those producing locally made goods, particularly those making and selling sustainably sourced products. Kenya leads the way globally in increasingly conscientious consumption habits; 81 per cent of Kenyans say they are now more likely to shop locally (57 per cent globally), 75 per cent are more likely to shop sustainably (52 per cent globally), and 70 per cent are more likely to support smaller businesses (50 per cent globally).

Steven Spielberg, Damon Lindelof, Stephen King & Others Remember Ray Bradbury
Posted byLarry Fire June 6, 2012 November 6, 2013 Posted inBooks / Authors, Obituary, Stephen KingTags:Books / Authors, Obituary
Steven Spielberg, Barack Obama, Stephen King, and Damon Lindelof were among the well-known figures paying tribute to Ray Bradbury, the author of such classics as Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles who passed away today at 91.
"He was my muse for the better part of my sci-fi career," Spielberg said in a written statement. "He lives on through his legion of fans. In the world of science fiction and fantasy and imagination he is immortal."
The two men were mutual fans. Bradbury called Spielberg's 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind "the best film of its kind ever made." He later visited the young director "to tell [him] what a genius he was. Spielberg told him that seeing the 1953 sci-fi classic It Came From Outer Space, which was adapted from a Bradbury story, inspired Close Encounters.
Stephen King, in a statement, noted Bradbury's prolific output and praised the power of his works. "The sound I hear today is the thunder of a giant's footsteps fading away. But the novels and stories remain, in all their resonance and strange beauty."
Neil Gaiman wrote on his blog that Bradbury's death had "knocked me for a loop," and he promised a longer statement later. He also posted an essay he wrote that was originally printed in an edition of Bradbury's The Machineries of Joy. "If you want to quote me, you can take anything you like from this, and add that he was kind, and gentle, and always filled with enthusiasm, and that the landscape of the world we live in would have been diminished if we had not had him in our world.
Prometheus and Lost writer Damon Lindelof tweeted, "Fahrenheit 451: The temperature at which my heart aches. We will miss you, Ray."
But the tributes were not just confined to Hollywood writers and directors.
President Obama issued a statement saying, "His gift for storytelling reshaped our culture and expanded our world. But Ray also understood that our imaginations could be used as a tool for better understanding, a vehicle for change, and an expression of our most cherished values. There is no doubt that Ray will continue to inspire many more generations with his writing.
