Bracelet Clasp Types
A clasp is more than a practical device used to fasten your jewelry. It is part of the overall design and can be a very important focal point. Be sure to consider if it will suit your needs of durability, fashion, comfort and peace of mind.
Barrel Clasp: Used on most rope chains to make the chain more secure. The barrel clasp looks like part of the chain and twists to get a pendant on and off.
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
S-Clasp: An S-shaped piece of metal that connects a chain by hooking metal rings on each end of the S-shape.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
To measure for a bracelet, wrap a soft, flexible tape measure around your wrist bone. Then, add 3/4" to 1" to that measurement to determine your bracelet size. Generally, 7" is considered a standard women's size and 8" is considered a standard men's size.
Another way to get an ideal fit is to measure the length of a bracelet you own. For bracelets that are to be slipped over the hand, measure the widest part of your hand to ensure the bracelet will fit over it.
Keep in mind that different bracelet styles tend to fit differently depending upon the clasp and materials used. Bracelets with adjustable clasps are usually one size fits all. Those with large beads or stones have less room for your wrist. Also, bracelets with links can usually be shortened by removing one or more links.
Amethyst, the most precious member of the quartz family, exhibits purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep purple, sometimes exhibiting reddish or rose overtones. Very deep-colored amethysts are the finest and most highly valued . Some stones are so over-saturated with color they have areas that are blacked out, which can negatively impact their value. Paler shades, sometimes called "Rose of France," were common in Victorian jewelry. Banding—darker and lighter zones of color—is also a common occurrence. Occasionally, amethyst is even found combined with its sister quartz, citrine, into a single stone called ametrine.
The birthstone for February, amethyst is an extremely popular gem for jewelry because of its regal color, variety of sizes and shapes, affordability and wide range of hues. It also is the recommended gem for couples celebrating their 6 th and 17 th wedding anniversaries. With a hardness of 7.0 on the Mohs Scale , a methyst can occur as long prismatic crystals that have six-sided pyramids at either end, or can form as drusies that are crystalline crusts that only show the pointed terminations.
The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst made one immune to the effects of alcohol. In fact, the name even comes from the Greek word amethystos, which means "not drunken." Legend has it that the amethyst originated from Bacchus, the god of wine. Bacchus became angry at the mortals and vowed that the next mortal to cross his path would be eaten by tigers. Amethyst, a beautiful young maiden, was on her way to worship the goddess, Diana. Diana turned her into colorless quartz to keep her from being eaten. Bacchus observed the miracle and repented his hasty decision. He poured wine over the young maiden, leaving her feet and legs colorless. This is the reason that amethyst crystals are usually uneven in color and have a colorless base at the bottom. Because amethyst was believed to prevent drunkenness, wine goblets were often carved from it in ancient Greece. Today, the gem still symbolizes sobriety.
Amethyst has been a part of history throughout the ages. Evidence suggests that prehistoric humans used amethysts for decoration as early as 25,000 B.C. Legends suggest that the Egyptian queen Cleopatra wore an amethyst signet ring, as did Saint Valentine, who bared an amethyst engraved with the figure of Cupid. During medieval times, people used the stone as medication to stay awake and alert. Leonardo Da Vinci claimed that amethyst could dissipate evil thoughts and quicken the intelligence. In some legends, the stone represents piety, celibacy and dignity. In the Middle Ages, for instance, the gem was an important ornamentation for the Catholic Church and other religions. It was considered the stone of bishops, and they still often wear amethyst rings. In Tibet, amethyst is considered sacred to Buddha and rosaries are often made from it. Amethyst has also long been a favorite of kings and queens for its royal purple hues that symbolize wisdom, strength and confidence. Amethysts are even featured in the British Crown Jewels and were worn by Catherine the Great.
Amethyst's availability and magical qualities make it the stone of preference in ancient lore and mysticism. As a meditation stone, it is said to quiet the mind, promote contemplation, sharpen psychic powers and uplift the spirit. It is a stone of deep wisdom. Folklore says it can quicken the wit, calm fears and ward off anger. It has a royal purple essence that is said to lend courage to travelers, scare off thieves and protect travelers from harm. Placed under the pillow or worn to bed, there are claims it promotes peaceful sleep and pleasant dreams. Amethyst can also be worn to supposedly make the wearer gentle, amiable and happy.
The stone is mined in Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Argentina, as well as in Zambia, Namibia and other African nations. Very dark amethyst in small sizes also is mined in Australia. But the ideal for fine quality amethyst was set by a Siberian variety, often called Russian or Uralian amethyst, which is now considered a defunct source. Generally, South American amethyst tends to come in larger sizes than African amethyst, but the African variety has a reputation for having deeper color intensity and is therefore considered more valuable. The African version also is harder to come by than amethyst mined from South America. Most of today's amethyst comes out of Brazil.
Lune de France is a very special variety of amethyst that rarely comes to market. From the northwest state of Amazon in Brazil, this gemstone comes from the Maraba mine. This lovely lilac gemstone features a unique velvet-like quality that at first observation can be confused for an opal or moonstone. The gemstone's internal structure contains natural, cloud-like veils of microscopic inclusions that are extremely minute, even under high power magnification. These inclusions cause the incoming light to scatter and reflect, thus creating an opalescent effect. While a similar inclusion structure can be expected in rose quartz, it almost never occurs in an amethyst. Lune de France features a natural lilac color and retains excellent transparency allowing it to be faceted for maximum light play.
Peridot:
Peridot features a lively yellow-green color that is transparent with an oily luster. The iron that creates peridot's color is an integral part of its structure, so the gem is only found in various shades of green. It is most prized in lime hues, but Italian peridot is a rich olive color and popular American peridot is a beautiful light yellow-green. The Romans called peridot "evening emerald" because its exquisite green color was said to glow at night. This is perhaps because the stone exhibits double refraction, meaning that when looking through the stone, objects appear double. So when looking into a faceted peridot, the number of bottom facets appears to be double the actual number, creating a glittering sensation.
Pronounced PEAR-A-DOE, the word "peridot" comes from the French word meaning "gem." It is the gem variety of the mineral olivine and ranks a 6.5-7.0 on the Mohs Scale.
Born in cauldrons of fire, peridot is considered the "volcanic gem," since small crystals of it are often found in the rocks created by volcanoes. In fact, Hawaiian legend called peridot the divine tears wept by Pele, goddess of the volcano. The island of Oahu even has beaches made out of olivine grains, but they are much too small to cut into peridot. Samples of the gem also have been discovered in meteorites that have fallen to Earth, many of which are more than a billion years old.
Peridot traces its jewelry roots to 3,500 years ago. The stone was first mined by the ancient Egyptians on the volcanic island of Zebargad in the Red Sea. Known as the "serpent isle," it was infested with poisonous snakes that interfered with mining activity until one Pharaoh had them all driven into the sea. Today, Native Americans mine most peridot on the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona. Interestingly, a lmost all peridot sold in Hawaii is from Arizona, despite the fact that peridot is produced by Hawaii's volcanoes. The gemstone is also found in Norway, Brazil, China, Egypt, Italy, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. An exciting new deposit was discovered in Pakistan in 1994, yielding some of the finest peridot ever seen, including one stone that weighed more than 300.00ct.
Peridot is among the oldest known stones and has been mined as a gem for thousands of years. As early as 1575 to 1350 B.C., the ancient Egyptians used peridot beads in their ceremonial jewelry. In fact, it is believed the stone was one of the favorite gems of Cleopatra and that some of the "emeralds" she wore were actually peridot.
Ancient Egyptians also carved small drinking vessels out of large chunks of peridot. Priests would drink soma from them in rituals, believing the soma would put them in touch with the nature goddess, Isis. Legend has it that King Soloman traded cedar trees from Lebanon for 12 soma drinking cups and 144 liters of soma. The Egyptians made this trade for ramp logs to build their pyramids at Gisa, while King Soloman was said to have been enlightened by drinking soma from the peridot cups. Today, Mexican hill tribes still drink soma from green glazed cups to put them in touch with nature and their ancestors' spirits. Additionally, some Native American Indians in Arizona use tea made from peyote ground with peridot crystals in their rituals.
Peridot has also been important to other cultures throughout history. Late in the Ottoman Empire (1300 to 1900), peridot was a highly prized gem and Turkish Sultans amassed some of the world's largest collections of the gemstone. It is mentioned in the Bible under the name of "chrysolite," and was used to decorate medieval churches with samples that were most likely carried back to Europe by the Crusaders. Large stones weighing more than 200.00ct adorn the Shrine of the Three Magi at the Cologne Cathedral in Germany.
Throughout the ages, peridot has been believed to hold mystical powers of protection and healing. The ancients regarded the stone as a symbol of the sun and wore it in amulets to prevent nightmares and drive away evil spirits. It was even favored by pirates to protect them against evil. Peridot was said to be useful for calming raging angers, curing nervous afflictions and promoting quiet sleep. It was also believed to strengthen any medicine drunk from goblets carved from the stone. South American Shamans used peridot to ward off snakebites and the evil spirits who have taken the form of mosquitoes who bring the sleeping sickness. They also say the heating of magic mushroom tea by peridot takes them on trips to the ancestor heavens.
Today, peridot is believed to bring the wearer success, peace and good luck. To be most powerful, it is said that the stone should be mounted in gold and surrounded with small diamonds. With powers that are thought to bring protection and health, modern folklore also says it can be used to attract love and calm anger while soothing nerves and dispelling negative emotions. T he gem is believed to protect the wearer from bad dreams when set in gold.
Peridot is considered the birthstone of August. Given as a symbol of fame, dignity and protection, this gem is also traditionally given to couples celebrating their 16 th wedding anniversaries.
Topaz:
A symbol of strength and intelligence, topaz derives its name from Topazios, an island in the Red Sea that is known today as Zabargad. The Greek word "topazios" means "to seek," since the island was covered with a thick fog and difficult to find. Gemstones found on the island were called topaz, although the stones were eventually found to actually be peridot. The real gem of topaz is found throughout the world, with different occurrences producing specific colors.
Brown, yellow, orange and red topaz are found in Brazil, Sri Lanka and Siberia. Most brownish topaz is heated to produce a permanent and glamorous pink color. Following the discovery of pink topaz in Russia during the 19th century, Imperial topaz was found. Featuring a sherry red, deep pink or reddish-orange color, the gem was so coveted that its ownership was restricted to the Czar, his family and those who received it as a royal gift. Today, Imperial shades are the most rare and, therefore, the most valuable.
Blue topaz is rarely found in nature and is most often created through a combination of heat treatment and irradiation. It is found in Brazil, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and China. Topaz is often colorless, too, and can be found in the United States, Mexico, Russia and Pakistan. In 1998, a new type of enhanced topaz made its appearance with a greenish-blue or emerald green color. All colors of topaz rank an 8.0 on the Mohs Scale of hardness.
Yellow topaz is November's birthstone and blue topaz is December's birthstone. Blue topaz is also the traditional gift for 4th and 19th wedding anniversaries, while Imperial topaz is celebrated as a 23rd anniversary gift. Perhaps the most famous topaz is a large, colorless stone known as the Braganza. It was discovered in Brazil in 1740 and was originally thought to be a priceless diamond. Today, the giant 1,680.00ct stone is set in the Portuguese Crown.
Paraiba color topaz is vibrant greenish blue designed to resemble the rare Paraiba tourmaline gemstone from Brazil. Typically, a blue or colorless topaz is heat treated to create the intense and desirable Paraiba color. White (or colorless) topaz is a budget-friendly alternative to diamonds.
The mystery and allure of topaz goes back thousands of years. To the ancients, it was a symbol of love and affection and was thought to ward off sudden death. The Romans associated topaz with Jupiter, the god of the sun. The Greeks called it the Stone of Strength, believing it had the power to increase strength and make its wearer invisible in times of emergency. The Egyptians said the gem was colored with the golden glow of the sun god, Ra, making topaz a powerful amulet that protected its wearer against harm.
Topaz' mystical curative powers were believed to wax and wane with the phases of the moon. The gem was said to change color in the presence of poisoned food or drink and falcons were carved on the stones to help earn the goodwill of kings and magnates.
Today, topaz is said to be the gem that has the widest range of curative powers. It is believed to dispel enchantment and protect against negative emotions such as anger, fear, greed and envy. Its properties are supposedly enhanced when the gem is mounted in gold. Because of this association with gold, topaz is used to bring or enhance the wearer's money-gathering abilities and has long been used in money and wealth rituals.
Wearing topaz is said to improve and deepen relationships, promote patience, ensure fidelity and enhance the ability to love. The gem is also believed to bring friendship, intelligence, long life, beauty and a pleasant disposition.
The name apatite comes from a Greek word "apatos," meaning deception, which alludes to the mineral's similarity with other more valuable minerals such as olivine, peridot and beryl. It can be transparent to opaque, with color that is typically green but can also be yellow, blue, reddish brown, violet and colorless. This gem exhibits an unusual "partially dissolved" look similar to the look of previously sucked-on hard candy.
Apatite is widely distributed in all rock types, but is usually just found as small grains or fragments. Large and well-formed crystals, though, can be found in certain contact metamorphic rocks; but with a hardness of 5.0 on the Mohs Scale, the softness of apatite prevents wide distribution in the jewelry market. Apatite occurs generally in rather rough prismatic crystals, the largest being 4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.
In most limestone quarries, careful search shows the presence of small prisms of bright green apatite in the limestone. Notable occurrences include Germany, Brazil, Russia, Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Canada, East Africa, Sweden, Spain and Mexico.

Q: Per CHANGELOG, since Version 3.53.0 phaser3 is preventing `AudioContext was not allowed` warnings, but I still encounter it, how do I do? Per the CHANGELOG, since Version 3.53.0 - Anastasia - 8th March 2021

SceneManager.loadComplete will no longer try to unlock the Sound Manager, preventing AudioContext was not allowed to start console warnings after each Scene finishes loading.

However, each time I run a phaser3 app on Chrome 96.0.4664.110 (Official Build) (x86_64)

var game = new Phaser.Game();
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/phaser@3.55.2/dist/phaser.js"></script>

I still get that annoying warning.

Am I missing something?

A: The problem is, that this is a browser "issue" (look at this link, for a chromium example: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=943258#c6)
the browser, outputs this warning, if you create an AudioContext without user interaction. Phaser creates an AudioContext on creating a Phaser Game Object new Phaser.Game(...);.
If you want to get rid of the Warning message, I have two different ideas, how you could do this:
Option 1:
Make a simple html-page with a start button/image/... and only create the Phaser.Game Object after a user iteraction, then there would be no Warning. (this is "cleaner", abit of overhead)

let button = document.querySelector('#btnStart');

button.addEventListener('click', () => {
    var game = new Phaser.Game();
});
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/phaser@3.55.2/dist/phaser.js"></script>
<button id="btnStart"> Start </button>

Option 2:
Or you could clear the console, with console.clear(); after creating the object. (easy quick fix)

var game = new Phaser.Game();
console.clear();
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/phaser@3.55.2/dist/phaser.js"></script>

Just so that you know the Warning has no effect, a can be ignored.

What will a new PM mean for housing?

Originally posted on May 20 as a column for Inside Housing.
What are the chances that the government's shift to a more pragmatic position on housing will survive a change of Conservative leader?
The papers are already full of news and polls about the leadership race before Theresa May has even resigned, mostly reporting Boris Johnson as the overwhelming favourite but also noting the poor record of overwhelming favourites in previous Tory elections.
The stakes for housing start with the record of May's government. While much of it is about rhetoric and saying the right things, especially since Grenfell, there is also some substance: the first funding for social housing since 2010; u-turns on key elements of the 2016 Housing Act; reforms to private renting culminating in the consultation on ending Section 21; and a willingness to consider new thinking on issues like land.
Does all of this represent a permanent shift in Conservative thinking on housing or will the Tories revert to type once May and her chief of staff, former housing minister Gavin Barwell, have vacated Downing Street?
Making a housebuilding splash

The entry into the UK market of an overseas company that last year built almost as many homes as Barratt, Taylor Wimpey and Persimmon combined is by any standards a big deal.
That's even before you add what looks like a major step forward for modular building in the UK and one of the most eye-catching individual investments yet by the self-styled disruptors at Homes England.
The £90m deal involves Sekisui House, the biggest housebuilder in Japan, taking a 35% equity stake in Urban Splash's modular House business. The Manchester-based developer will retain 60% with Noel McKee, one of its existing investors and founder of We Buy Any Car, taking what's described as an incremental 5% stake
Homes England will take a 5% stake worth just over £3m in the company and will also be providing a £27m loan from its £4.5bn Home Building Fund.
Sekisui House built almost 44,000 new homes last year, almost 5% of all those built in Japan, where new build numbers and demolitions alike are much higher than in the UK.
The devolution dynamic in housing policy
Posted: May 9, 2019 | Author: julesbirch | Filed under: Brexit, Devolution, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales | Leave a comment
Originally published on May 9 on my blog for Inside Housing.
Devolution to Scotland and Wales is 20 years old this week and amid the celebrations it's worth taking a moment to consider its significance for housing.
Since May 1999, when the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly met for the first time, devolution has evolved at a different pace in each country and the Barnett formula has given Holyrood more resources than Cardiff Bay.
Politically, the Scottish Parliament was run by Labour with Lib Dem support for its first eight years before the SNP won power in 2007 and then an overall majority in 2011 and the No vote in the independence referendum. The Welsh Assembly has been run by Labour for the last 20 years, though it has needed the support of either the Lib Dems or Plaid Cymru along the way.
However, it was the election of a Conservative-led coalition government at Westminster in 2010 that led to a new phase for the devolved administrations.
For a while, all they had to do to be progressive on housing was nothing – refusing to follow the English swing away from social rent and towards the market created a clear divide.
Both have still had to cope with the impacts of austerity and benefit cuts largely imposed from London, although Scotland has used its extra resources to mitigate the bedroom tax and has been able to make some tweaks to universal credit.
In the areas that they can control, the devolved administrations have tended to devise policy in partnership with the sector, as exemplified by the ambitious target for affordable and social homes in Scotland and the independent review of affordable housing supply published in Wales last week.
But it is in legislation that a really distinctive approach to housing has emerged and it is one that I'd argue has created a new dynamic in housing policy across the wider UK too. Read the rest of this entry »
The housing trilemma

The pace of change in housing seems to accelerate every year, especially in the last decade.
There may be better known conferences than the one organised by the Housing Studies Association but there are few if any give you a better opportunity to try to make sense of it all.
Held in Sheffield last month, the theme of this year's conference was Home Struggles: Politics, Marginality and Resistance in the Contest for Housing. This was a title designed to cover everything from the financialisation and homelessness we are familiar with in Britain to the more informal struggles associated with the Global South.
The conference brings together the growing number of academics working on housing issues from this country and overseas but housing professionals and tenants were there too in the audience and with papers of their own.
Sidelining of tenants is part of a wider pattern
Posted: April 25, 2019 | Author: julesbirch | Filed under: Grenfell Tower, Leasehold, Private renting, Tenants | Leave a comment
Whether you put it down to carelessness or couldn't care less-ness, the inaction inside government inaction that has sparked open letter from A Voice for Tenants (AV4T) is symptomatic of a wider political paralysis.
As the group themselves point out, they are not representative of the eight million people living in social housing in England but they are the best we have until the government keeps the prime minister's promise to bring tenants into the political process.
The letter is all the more effective for the contrast between its moderate language and its stark message that working behind the scenes has not produced results.
The only option left seems to be to embarrass the politicians into living up to what they have said over the last two years – accepting Inside Housing's open invitation to a meeting seems the bare minimum they should do.
And there is a strikingly similar message in the Times this morning from Grenfell United, as it attacks 'indifferent and incompetent' ministers who took their 'kindness as weakness'.
Two years of meetings have produced too little action, they say, with no progress on their call for a new model of housing regulator and thousands of people still living in 'death traps' with combustible cladding.
Grenfell and tenants were top of the agenda for the ministers in post at the time of the fire – the work of Alok Sharma and his civil servants is praised in the AVT letter – but have slipped down it as the months and now years have passed.
Where next for renting after Section 21?
Posted: April 15, 2019 | Author: julesbirch | Filed under: Private renting, Scotland, Tenants, Wales | 5 Comments
Blimey. If it plays out as billed, the government's consultation on ending no-fault evictions and introducing open-ended tenancies for private renters represents the quickest change in housing policy that I can remember.
I say 'if' because this is still only a consultation, because ministers have form for claiming rather more in press releases than turns out to be the case when the detail is published and because Theresa May could be succeeded within weeks by a new, more right-wing prime minister who could dump the whole thing.
One more caveat is that I am only talking about England. The first minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford, pledged to end no-fault evictions on Saturday and so narrowly avoided the embarrassment of Welsh Labour lagging behind the English Tories on tenants' rights.
Scotland has already abolished Section 33 (its version of 21) and introduced a new tenancy system in December 2017 that could become the model for the other UK nations.
In England, and taking it at face value, this announcement is a stunning victory for campaigners that takes May's Conservatives to the left not just of where Ed Miliband was at the 2015 general election but also of what Jeremy Corbyn argued at the 2017 election. It was only later that year that the Labour leader committed to ending Section 21.
Last year the government consulted on its own plan for three-year tenancies but did not commit to making them mandatory – this was only one of three options alongside education and financial incentives for landlords.

The large demonstrations in Berlin on Saturday demanding the expropriation of the property of the city's two biggest landlords are a warning to their counterparts in this country about what can happen when public and political opinion turns against you.
Yes, there is a particular context for the demos, with communism in East Berlin and an expectation of cheap rents in West Berlin predating the free market pressures of a global capital city.
And yes we are talking about two large private corporate landlords that own more than 100,000 homes each.
But to bring things closer to home, both companies identified in the protestors' placards – Deutsche Wohnen in particular but also Vonovia – have their roots in social housing and grew out of communal housing associations.

Lawmakers should follow the Supreme Court's lead to keep guns away from domestic abusers
In what, to some, might at first glance seem like an unremarkable decision, on Monday, the Supreme Court demonstrated a deep understanding of how domestic violence is perpetrated. On its face, the Court's decision in Voisine v. United States was a sterile, hyper-technical legal analysis primarily hinging on the meaning of the word "use," where the Court refrained from discussing domestic violence at any length.
Supreme Court decision in Voisine v. United States will protect lives
Legal Momentum applauds the Supreme Court's decision in Voisine v. United States, which will most certainly protect the lives not only of domestic violence victims, but also members of the general public. The U.S. Supreme Court held that under federal law, convicted perpetrators of reckless or intentional misdemeanor domestic violence are prohibited from possessing firearms.
Legal Momentum Proudly Wears Orange to Call for Action on Gun Violence
Today is the second annual National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Across the nation, people are wearing orange to honor the millions of lives affected by gun violence and spur action to prevent gun violence nationwide. The Wear Orange campaign is spearheaded by Everytown for Gun Safety. It was inspired by a small group of teens at a South Side Chicago high school who wore orange—the color that hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves and others—to honor the life of a classmate killed by gun violence in 2013.
Legal Momentum Applauds Executive Action against Gun Violence.
Legal Momentum applauds and thanks President Obama for taking executive action to end the scourge of gun violence plaguing our country. Too often, domestic violence survivors and their families are endangered by gun violence and threats of gun violence.
ICCPR Shadow Report: Domestic Violence, Gun Violence, and SYG Laws-Sept. 2013
Legal Momentum, the Advocates for Human Rights, the Human Rights Clinic of the University of Miami School of Law, and Women Enabled, Inc. ("U.S. Women's Rights Organizations") submitted a shadow report on violence against women in the United States to the United Nations Human Rights Committee, and called for the Committee to recommend significant improvements to U.S. law and policy.
Women's Rights Groups Call on U.S. to Improve Response to Domestic Violence
U.S. v. Castleman
In October, 2013, Supreme Court heard arguments in U.S. vs. Castleman, for which Legal Momentum co-authored an amicus brief. The case centered on whether a gun trafficker who abused the mother of his child should be able to legally buy guns. The amicus brief urged the Supreme Court to uphold federal laws—and those state laws like Tennessee's—that were enacted to ensure that domestic violence abusers are prohibited from possessing guns. In March, 2014, the Court decided to uphold the provisions of the Violence Against Women Act that prevent abusers from purchasing firearms. Justice Sotomayor cited information from Legal Momentum's amicus brief in her majority opinion.

Message from Greater Cleveland nonprofits to young adults: We need you
Updated: Feb. 28, 2014, 2:30 p.m. |
Published: Feb. 28, 2014, 1:30 p.m.
Roxanne Washington, The Plain Dealer
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- By day, 27-year-old John Fouser is an account manager with the Lake Erie Monsters and Cleveland Gladiators.
In the evenings and on weekends, he's a United Way of Greater Cleveland volunteer, having gotten his first taste of volunteerism in high school and through his college fraternity.
It's young adults like Fouser, Leia Bradford and Ashley Hartman who are getting the attention of nonprofits in Greater Cleveland and around the country that are looking for fresh minds and fresh ideas. That's because a number of baby boomers who power nonprofit organizations as donors, fundraisers and board members are retiring and easing out of the picture.
"Engaging young adults, including millennials, is definitely on the minds of nonprofits," said Robert Fischer, research associate professor and director of the Master of Nonprofit Organizations Degree Program at Case Western Reserve University.
"Boards are recognizing that they need input from younger adults and are looking for ways to engage them. This includes input on program strategies and direction, as well as communicating the organization's work."
Fouser is co-chair of United Way's Young Leaders cabinet. He said young adult donors and volunteers aren't content with just writing a check to a nonprofit and then forgetting about it, something that might be more common in previous generations. They want to get involved, and they want proof that their donations and work are making a difference, he said.
"Millennials prefer a hands-on approach. When it comes to philanthropy, millennials go beyond donating money. They want to take action," he said. The most commonly used age range for millennials is in the early 1980's to early 1990's.
Leia Bradford of Cleveland, a 24-year-old financial representative with Northwestern Mutual, is a hands-on volunteer and fundraiser with the Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club. She joined the young professionals group in 2011 after graduating from Florida A & M.
She and fellow group members work with a number of agencies that need assistance, including the Cleveland Food Bank, the American Cancer Society and Minds Matter Cleveland, an organization that, among other things, helps high students from low-income families achieve academic excellence and gain admission to college.
Nonprofits didn't have to look far to find Bradford.
"Ever since I got out of school I've wanted to be involved," she said. "I've always wanted to have engagement with this city."
Like many other young adults, just donating money isn't enough for Bradford. She wants to be involved, and she wants to see results.
"The world is moving more towards instant gratification," she said. "It spills over to how we expect things to work with nonprofits."
Providence House, which fights to end child abuse and neglect by protecting at-risk children, has a young professionals group called PHfriends. Comprised mostly of 20- and 30-somethings, PHfriends does fundraising and community outreach activities.
Group members, many of whom work in the corporate world and are able to spread their message there, raised $6,000 at an arty gallery party, said Providence House President and CEO Natalie Leek-Nelson.
Young professional groups that are either associated with a nonprofit or are independent often use social events such as happy hour and galas to raise money. Leia Bradford, left, and Gina Peterson belong to the Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club. They are shown here at December's Stuff the Stocking fundraiser.
"It's not just about the money," said Leek-Nelson. "It's about a young generation of advocates for kids at risk."
Providence House is also looking ahead. Leek-Nelson said PHfriends members are on the "A team for the next Providence House board members."
Nonprofits ranging from social services to the arts have begun relying on young adult supporters to get their message out, raise money and take a seat on their boards.
In Greater Cleveland, nonprofits wanting to connect with prospective young philanthropists and recruit volunteers have a place to turn. BVU: The Center for Nonprofit Excellence connects businesses and nonprofits looking for volunteers and board members.
Although the numbers include all age groups, BVU has matched about 2,300 business professionals to more than 450 nonprofit boards since 1993, according to President and CEO Brian Broadbent.
BVU also works with Engage! Cleveland, a group that said its mission is to attract young talent to Cleveland and get newcomers connected to the community, including nonprofit organizations.
"BVU has worked with several nonprofit organizations to help them launch or re-energize young professionals' groups and associate boards," said Broadbent, adding that BVU has matched young professionals to about 90 nonprofits through its Linking New Leaders program. "A few examples include Providence House, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland, and Ronald McDonald House."
Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland, a home away from home for families with children being treated for serious illnesses at area hospitals, has had a young adults component, but the group was recently made official and given the name Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland, Inc. Ambassador Council.
"These are the future leaders of the organization so we decided to formalize their structure to provide them with more leadership opportunities within the organization," said RMH Executive Director Craig Wilson. "That happened last summer. Last fall we had the chair of the group attend a board meeting and we plan to do that on a regular basis."
Bill Kitson, president and CEO of United Way, said young adult volunteers are more "solution-oriented. What's exciting to me is the energy they have to get solutions. They are quick to ask questions and they aren't afraid to get things done."
Kitson said his organization is working on bringing the agency's Young Leaders committee on the board of director's volunteer committee.
It's not that young adults don't already give money and time. As reported by the Chronicle of Philanthropy in its 2011 survey of 6,500 people ages 20 to 35, some 75 percent of those in that age group gave money to a nonprofit the previous year.
What's more, 70 percent said they encouraged colleagues and friends to support a cause.
But the survey also showed that many young adults who give money to nonprofits don't give a lot. Of young adults who gave, 58 percent reported that their largest contribution was $100 or less, the Chronicle said.
Ashley Hartman is president of Young Nonprofits Professional Network (YNPN) Cleveland, which encourages volunteerism and cultivates future leaders in the nonprofit community.
"If your way of getting involved (with a nonprofit) is $500 dinners, you probably aren't going to get a lot of young people who are just starting their careers," she said.
"From my experience, there is no lack of young people who want to be engaged. It's just a matter of bridging that gap."

Henckel twin pro s knives counterfeit or not?
Discussion in 'Cooking Knife Reviews' started by ilovemywife, Nov 26, 2010.
I'm purchasing a present for my wife and I gotta tell you all the truth, it has taken me a couple of days worth of research on these kitchen tools. They must really make a big difference . Anyway, the ones she wants are the Henckel twin pro s. I've found some on ebay that actually say they are shipped directly from Germany and has the twin men seal on them, but in the ebay picture the stamp on the blade is black, and after cross referencing the model number, everywhere else the stamp on the blade is red.
What is the difference between the black and red stamp?
Also my wife already has one of these knives and it has the black stamp. I'm guessing one of them is counterfeit.
Color is one of the few things forgers do right, and a lot of legitimate sellers who I know are getting genuine stock are posting pictures of block sets in which the knives are stamped with black ink. But one never knows. People get up to all sorts of mischief.
If you want truly expert advice o whether or not forgeries are appearing in the e-bay marketplace, call Henckels customer service. Customer service, by the way, is something Henckels does supremely well.
Speaking not ex-cathedra as an "expert," but as a husband and consumer: It's not worth the anxiety. Buy from a trusted source, like Chef's Knives To Go, Cutlery and More, or Bed Bath and Beyond -- to name a few favorites.
Are you comparing apples to oranges? Henckel's has several "Twin" lines, a Pro-S line, and a Twin Pro-S line. Internet sellers may just use a generic picture for several lines. The Pro-S knives (which I have and love) have a black stamp. I think the Twin Pro-S line has a red stamp, from the pictures I've seen.
I'm not comparing apples to oranges. My title says henckel twin pro s. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you?
Maybe. How do you know that the Ebay seller really knows what line he is actually selling, given Henckel's inability to create distinctive names and given his title says one thing and the description something else? Or whether he posted a picture of Twin Pro-S vs Pro-S because it was the only picture he had or he didn't understand the difference? It seems more likely that he isn't clear about whether he's selling apples or oranges rather than counterfeit products. I would follow BDL's advice and stick with a known seller with a reasonable return policy if you're not happy. My previous post was meant to be helpful, sorry if it angered you.
KCZ, I didn't mean to give off the anger vibe, I'm not upset at all and I appreciate your help. Thanks guys.
Henckels makes three types of knives in three (sort of) places. "Twins" (aka Zwillings) are made in Germany, Miyabi are made in Japan and "International" (the economy line) are made "internationally" in a lot of other places -- mostly Spain and/or Portugal, IIRC.
The Professional S line is Zwillings only. I believe KCZ is mistaken, and that no matter how various retailers may describe them, there is no distinction between Pro S and "Twins Pro S."
There is no difference between the black and red stamp. Period. And TWIN Pro S is the same as Pro S. The words TWIN and ZWILLING are synonymous.
There is no difference between TWIN and ZWILLING. They are interchangeable.

Rethinking the Language of Short-Term Missions
By Amy Peterson
For much of Christian history, a call to international missions had been considered lifelong; some early missionaries shipped their necessities in a coffin, assuming they wouldn't come home except to be buried. But as travel technologies improved, home furloughs became possible, then standard. Shorter terms of service became realistic options. And then very short trips—even ten to fourteen days—became common for laypeople and youth.
Short-term mission trips as we know them today began in the 1960s. The success of projects like the Peace Corps, paired with the growth of mass commercial air travel, inspired Christian organizations to experiment. Recruiting primarily college students and single twenty-somethings, organizations like YWAM (Youth With A Mission) and OM (Operation Mobilization) created cross-cultural experiences that lasted from a month to a year or two. A narrative grew up about these trips: they were ways for American young people to gain spiritual insight and grow personally while serving "the least of these." Individual churches adopted the trend and set up their own trips, too.
Some early missionaries shipped their necessities in a coffin, assuming they wouldn't come home except to be buried.
But established missionary boards and agencies were slower to adopt short-term missions, and when they did, the narrative was different: it was less about spiritual formation for the young people and more about helping established missionaries—even recruiting new, long-term missionaries. The boards didn't view short-termers as missionaries, but as potential missionaries. The Southern Baptist "Journeyman" program, founded in 1965, for example, featured a two-year term with the goal of exposing young people "to missionary life while serving career goals of established missionaries." In the late sixties, Africa Inland Mission had short-term options of one to two years available, but promotional materials encouraged missionaries to always have long-term service as their goal.
It was not until the 1970s that high school students began to take part in short-term mission experiences. Summer youth trips gained widespread acceptance in the 1980s, and by the 1990s, they had exploded in popularity. The established missionary community, faced with the ubiquity of short-term trips, was forced to concede: finally, they too began calling them "missions trips," and referring to people who made one- or two-year commitments overseas as "missionaries."
So you might say that in the brief history of short-term mission trips, there have been two competing narratives to justify their existence: the established missionary community wanted the story to be about recruiting potential missionaries and aiding established missionaries, but local churches and new organizations wanted the story to be about the spiritual growth of those who went, along with serving the poor (not traditionally a goal of missionary work, which had primarily been about evangelism, scripture translation, and church-planting). This second narrative, for the most part, won out in the American evangelical community.
In the brief history of short-term mission trips, there have been two competing narratives to justify their existence.
And this is why when people come back from a short-term trip, you'll hear them say things like, "They [the poor] taught me so much more than I taught them," or "They gave me so much more than I gave them." This is the narrative their preparation has primed them to use. They had been told that they were going to serve the poor and experience spiritual growth; they're simply saying that their spiritual growth seems more valuable than their service was.
And undoubtedly, in a lot of cases, that's true! Especially if the service they've gone to provide was a project their church dreamed up, rather than something the people they served had asked for.
For example, suppose a church knows of a school in a Latin American country that needs a new building. They send a team of high schoolers to do the work, a common enough type of summer trip experience. But suppose that while these students—inexperienced in the art of building, but happy to serve—are working on the construction, a man from the community walks by. He's bigger and stronger than the kids are. He's unemployed. When he looks at them, he sees teenagers who have enough extra money to fly to his country, doing a job for free that he would have loved to have been paid even a small wage to do. Those wages would have gone to feed his family, or to enable him to buy the uniforms his children must have to attend that very school.
This building team has helped the community, yes, but probably not in the best way. They've flown in like little gods, fixed a problem, and flown out again, leaving community members feeling even more helpless than before. Those teens wore their matching T-shirts emblazoned with "Bringing God to [insert country name here]!" as if God hasn't been there all along. Maybe they have—unwittingly—used the poor for their own spiritual growth.
Admittedly, this is just one example from a multitude of kinds of short-term trips. There are ways we've done them well, and ways we've done them not so well. But for now, let's just talk about the language: Should we really call a trip like this, one we've just admitted does more for us than it does for the people we serve, a missions trip?
Maybe they have—unwittingly—used the poor for their own spiritual growth.
What if, instead, we called them "vision trips" or "learning trips"? A simple renaming might change the whole way we plan, prepare for, and experience such trips.
Imagine someone asking for financial support for a "vision trip." Instead of saying, "Please give me money so that I can take the gospel to a dark place / build a house for the homeless / run a summer camp program for kids in Haiti / assist in a temporary medical clinic in Tegucigalpa," a short-termer might say, "If you would like to invest in me, would you help me travel to a different culture so that I can expand my view of who God is and how he works by learning about him in a foreign land?"
A simple renaming might change the whole way we plan, prepare for, and experience such trips.
In preparing short-termers for their trips, we'd treat them like children about to visit an art museum. With training and education, children can progress from seeing everything but understanding almost nothing to really grasping what they do see. We can prepare them to learn from the museum guide. We can give them historical, social, and artistic language to use in describing their experience. Likewise, it would make sense for people preparing for a "vision trip" to learn about the history, language, economic structures, and ethnic groups of the community they're about to visit so that when they arrive, they'll be better able to understand what they see.
We can give short-termers historical, social, and artistic language to use in describing their experience.
When they went, short-termers would be ready to listen to locals, to learn from them. And they'd be able to integrate all the parts of their trip. Instead of dividing them into "ministry" and "tourism," every aspect of the experience—even visits to famous sites, shopping in the markets, and attending a local church—would be a part of a cohesive learning experience.
Dr. David Zac Niringiye was assistant bishop of the Kampala diocese of the Anglican Church in Uganda. When asked if short-term mission trips could serve African Christians well, he suggested that short-term trips ought to be oriented around listening. What if, he said, instead of going with a "mission" in mind, Americans just brought greetings from one church to another, and opened up a conversation, a relationship?
What if instead of going with a "mission" in mind, Americans just brought greetings from one church to another, and opened up a conversation, a relationship?
"Short-term mission" has been part of our lexicon for less than fifty years, and it's the wrong name. Let's change the term, and let that simple change lead us to a more reciprocal, authentic, relational model, one oriented around listening. Let's be sure we in the West are aware of our cultural power, we use our social capital to help, and we learn about structural injustices instead of just witnessing poverty. Let's make our trips about cross-cultural communication and relationship, and let's line them up with the mission of God, which is long-term by definition: the restoration of relationships, the reconciliation of all things to himself.

Q: how to get proper x, y, and z value of magnetic field around iOS device ? I'm trying to get magnetic field value around my iOS device ( iPad 2 ). I have been googling long time about those subjects, but I couldn't find anything that works properly.
i'm trying to make something like this.
i read Apple Documentation about magnetic field how i can get value  there is two framework can help me core motion and core location but in my case i will use core motion to get calibrated magnetic field around my device by using CMDeviceMotion and this Property CMCalibratedMagneticField

The CMCalibratedMagneticField returned by this property gives you the
  total magnetic field in the device's vicinity without device bias.

this code written in SWIFT
        let manager = CMMotionManager()
        var valX: Double!
        var valY: Double!
        var valZ: Double!
        var valAccuracy: Int32!
        if manager.deviceMotionAvailable{
            manager.deviceMotionUpdateInterval = .1
            manager.startDeviceMotionUpdatesToQueue(NSOperationQueue()){
                (data: CMDeviceMotion!, error: NSError!) in

                if let isError = error{
                    NSLog("Error: %@", isError)
                }
                valX = data.magneticField.field.x
                valY = data.magneticField.field.y
                valZ = data.magneticField.field.z
                valAccuracy = data.magneticField.accuracy.value

                if values != nil{
                    values!(x: valX, y: valY, z: valZ, accuracy: valAccuracy)
                }

                self.delegate?.getMagneticFieldFromDeviceMotion!(valX, y: valY, z: valZ)
            }

        } else {
            NSLog("Device Motion is not available")
        }

When I try to run my application in (IPad 2) it return x, y, z value but it change in crazy way and very fast!! If I move magnetic in x axis also y change!!
I use neodymium magnet, I was very careful when I use it to not allow it harm my device.
Questions:

*

*why when i try to move magnet x and y change even i change only x ?

*i have to do calibration before i start to have accurate value ?

*i have to to put my device in specific situation to get proper value ?

*there is any algorithm i have to use to filter x , y and z ?

Madam R. Onyechie V Mrs. R. Shadiya (1966) LLJR-SC
Madam R. Onyechie V Mrs. R. Shadiya (1966)
This appeal is from the judgment of Sowemimo J., in the High Court of Lagos upholding the magistrate.
The dispute between Madam R. Onyechie and Mrs R. Shadiya (hereafter referred to as the tenant and the landlord respectively) is whether the landlord gave the tenant a rent-free tenancy for life of the premises occupied by the tenant at No. 133 Bamgbose Street, Lagos. Shortly put, the tenant's case is that in consideration of her providing money to rebuild the premises the landlord agreed that she should live in them rent-free as long as she liked, which she submits is a tenancy for life: the landlord's case was, in short as we understand it, that the money was a loan and the tenant was to live in 394 Supreme Court of Nigeria Law Reports 1966 the premises for two years, but has been living there since without paying rent, or to some similar effect.
The landlord sued for recovery of possession twice in the Magistrates' Court but without success. She next applied to the Magistrate to fix the rent of the premises under s. 11 (1) of the Rent Restriction Act, which provides that-
"Any landlord or tenant or other person interested may apply to a court for an order fixing the rent of any premises."
The tenant objected that as an issue of title was involved the Magistrate had no jurisdiction; the learned Magistrate held that there was no issue of title and went on to say–
"It is the general principle of law that the rent is attached to the property. Whether or not the respondent should pay such rent to be fixed by the court cannot be entertained in this application. I am of the view that by section 11(1) of the Rent Restriction Act, the court is empowered to fix the rent of any premises."
And he proceeded to fix the rent.
The tenant repeated her point on jurisdiction on appeal to the High Court of Lagos. Sowemimo, J., writes in his judgment as follows:-
"I hold that on the facts as proved on the two previous judgments" [viz., of the magistrates who refused recovery of posses-sion] "title was never involved and the decision of the lower court on the application before it" (viz., to fix the rent] "did not decide on the question of title."
Lower down the learned Judge writes as follows–
"It is contended that for those two Acts" [viz., the Rent Restriction Act and the Recovery of Premises Act] "to be called in aid of any claim there must be the relationship of landlord and tenant. The words tenant and landlord are well defined in section 2(1) of the Recovery of Premises Act Cap. 176 of Vol. V Laws of Nigeria and on the findings of the two former cases Exhibits A and C definitely decided the relationship of appellant and respondent."
Therefore he held that it was competent to the magistrate to make the order fixing the rent of the premises.
There is a relationship of landlord and tenant, but the tenant's point, that there is no competent decision on her case as to the precise terms of that relationship, does not seem to have been appreciated. The learned Judge's note of the argument for the tenant reads as follows:
"On Ground 2" [viz., that the Magistrate had no jurisdiction] "refers to section 11 of Rent Restriction Act. Bannister v. Bannister [1948] 2 All E.R. 133. The appellant is a life tenant and therefore title is involved. In deciding the issue the learned Magistrate must decide the status of the parties."
The last sentence is not quite clear, the last but one is: that "the appellant is a life tenant and therefore title is involved." A life tenancy, though not an estate of inheritance, is a freehold estate, and the grant may be rent-free or subject to rent. That is English law; and it is not suggested that such an interest in land is unknown to native law and custom.
On the evidence in the case there is a bona fide issue of 'title' to or 'interest' in land within the meaning of section 14(2) of the Magistrates' Court (Lagos) Act, which provides that–
"(2) Subject to the provisions of any other Ordinance, a chief magistrate shall not exercise original jurisdiction in any cause or matter which – (a) raises any issue as to the title to land, or to any interest in land;" (etc., irrelevant here).
We have not been referred to any overriding provision in any other Act, and are of opinion that the magistrates could not decide the issue raised by the tenant, which requires to be tried and decided in the High Court.
It is true that a landlord may apply under s. 11(1) of the Rent Restriction Act to a court for an order fixing the rent of any premises, but the court is not bound to make an order: subsection (2) provides that –
"Where an application is made to a court under this Ordinance the court may refuse to make an order or may make an order authorising the receipt or recovery of the whole or any part of any increased rent or an order fixing the amount by which the rent may be increased or may by order fix the rent."
This case was one in which rent ought not to have been fixed, as it was brought to the magistrate's notice that there was a bona fide dispute on the nature of the tenant's title or interest and on her liability to pay rent which could not have been decided by the magistrate. There is a grave risk in this case, particularly in view of the High Court judgment, that the landlord will sue for rent and use that judgment and the magistrate's order as props for her claim; and this in our opinion she is not entitled to do in the circumstances of this case.
In our view the issue raised by the tenant ought to be decided first.
The appeal is allowed with sixty-seven guineas costs in all the courts against Mrs. R. Shadiya in favour of Madam R. Onyechie, the Lagos High Court judgment of 15th March, 1965 in LD/83A/64 and the magistrate's decision of 30 July, 1964, in MR.585/63 are hereby set aside; either party is at liberty to sue or counter-claim in the High Court for a declaration on the nature and terms of the tenancy of the premises at 133 Bamgbose Street, Lagos, occupied by Madam R. Onyechie and add any other claims or counter-claims that may properly be added.

Organizations are pledging to make their intellectual property available free of charge for use in ending the COVID-19 pandemic. These organizations include Amazon, Intel, Facebook, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HBE), IBM, Microsoft, and Sandia National Laboratories.
According to opencovidpledge.org, "Immediate action is required to halt the COVID-19 Pandemic and treat those it has affected. It is a practical and moral imperative that every tool we have at our disposal be applied to develop and deploy technologies on a massive scale without impediment."
We applaud the companies that have made all of their patents freely available to the public for use in fighting COVID-19. Their action grants temporary licenses to the public for use in research, development and deployment of medical equipment, IT products (including software) and other patented technologies.
We would like to see Pfizer, Merck, AbbVie and other giant pharmaceutical companies added to that list.
According to the Open COVID website, the Open COVID Pledge was "launched by an international coalition of legal experts, scientists, and technologists, is an effort that encourages companies, universities, and researchers to make their intellectual property available free of charge for use in ending the COVID-19 pandemic and minimizing the impact of the disease. Those who make the Pledge help ensure that uncertainty around intellectual property rights will not slow or impede urgently needed solutions in this critical time.
The Open COVID Pledge calls on organizations around the world to make their patents and copyrights freely available in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The Pledge was developed by the Open COVID Coalition, an international group of scientists and lawyers seeking to accelerate the rapid development and deployment of diagnostics, vaccines, therapeutics, medical equipment and software solutions in this urgent public health crisis.

States are appealing a judge's decision to dismiss Facebook's antitrust case.
WASHINGTON. Nearly four dozen states on Friday asked a federal appeals court to review an antitrust lawsuit against Facebook that the judge dismissed last year.
In June, Judge James E. Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said states waited too long to file a lawsuit after some of the deals in question went through.
The plaintiffs, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James and including the District of Columbia and Guam, argued in their appeal that states have more leeway than private plaintiffs when filing lawsuits. They also argued that it is in the public interest for attorneys general to pursue antitrust lawsuits against Meta, Facebook's parent company.
The states' main allegation is that Facebook acquired competitors — notably Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014 — in a predatory manner to stifle competition. They also allege that Facebook hurt competitors like Vine by blocking them from accessing data and tools on its platform. This has hurt consumers, who have been deprived of more competition and alternative social media services, states say.
"Time and time again, the social media giant has used its market dominance to drive small companies out of business and reduce competition for millions of users," Ms James said. "We are filing this appeal with the support of nearly every state in the country because we will always struggle with efforts to crack down on competition, curtail innovation and shrink privacy protections, even as we face a giant like Facebook."

Chris Sgro, spokesman for Meta, said, "We believe the district court's decision to dismiss the state's complaint was correct and there is no reason to overturn that decision."
Legal pressure on Meta has increased in recent days. The states' appeal comes days after Mr. Boasberg allowed a revised version of a similar FTC antitrust lawsuit to be heard. The FTC alleged that the company used a "buy or bury" strategy in acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp to create a social media monopoly.
Mr. Boasberg was initially skeptical of both claims, but for different reasons. He said federal regulators have not provided sufficient evidence to support some of the main claims, such as Facebook's monopoly. He said this week that those regulators have removed that bar in a revised lawsuit.

In FP, we frequently talk about purity & impurity of values.
In this brief post, we'll brush up our concepts of the same, along with some examples.
What could an impure value be?
@ val pureFunctionValue: Int => String = (i) => s"$i was entered"
res8: String = "42 was entered"
res10: String = "42 was entered"
Here, randomValuesGenerator is an impure value again. Because, when we called the same function again on it, a different result was returned. Thus, nextInt is not really a function on randomValuesGenerator in the mathematical sense, because, otherwise, in all its invocations, it would've returned us the exact same result. Thus it is an impure value because it doesn't exactly do what it says it does.
So apparently, randomValuesGenerator.nextInt is a function, to which we can apply the unit value and get back an Int. Let's do it.
As we can see, we applied the same value () (the only instance of Unit, by the way) to x and got back different results. It's doing something else apart from returning us an Int. Maybe it's mutating its own internal state. That, friends, is a side effect that x is performing on itself. Hence, x is an impure value and not exactly a function in the mathematical sense. IOW, x is a liar!
There. We built a little model for thinking about pure/impure values and we'll use it for thinking about more complex FP ideas.
If you guys want to explore further into this topic, you can explore What Purity Is and Isn't.
