WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center
ADMINISTRATIVE PANEL DECISION
Polonez Parcel Service, LLC v. Polo Parcels
Case No. D2018-0325
1. The Parties
The Complainant is Polonez Parcel Service, LLC of West Springfield, Massachusetts, United States of America ("United States" or "U.S."), represented by Akerman LLP, United States.
The Respondent is Polo Parcels of London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ("United Kingdom").
2. The Domain Name and Registrar
The disputed domain name <polonezparcels.com> is registered with NameSilo, LLC (the "Registrar").
3. Procedural History
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on February 13, 2018. On February 14, 2018, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrar a request for registrar verification in connection with the disputed domain name. On February 14, 2018, the Registrar transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details.
The Center verified that the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy" or "UDRP"), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Supplemental Rules").
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2 and 4, the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on February 21, 2018. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5, the due date for Response was March 13, 2018. The Respondent did not submit any response. Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondent's default on March 14, 2018.
The Center appointed Edoardo Fano as the sole panelist in this matter on March 19, 2018. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
Having reviewed the communication records in the case file provided by the Center, the Panel finds that the Center has discharged its responsibility under the Rules, paragraph 2(a), "to employ reasonably available means calculated to achieve actual notice to Respondent". Therefore, the Panel shall issue its Decision based upon the Complaint, the Policy, the Rules and the Supplemental Rules and without the benefit of a response from the Respondent.
The language of the proceeding is English, being the language of the Registration Agreement, as per paragraph 11(a) of the Rules.
4. Factual Background
The Complainant is Polonez Parcel Service, LLC, a leading international package shipping company operating for over 35 years.
The Complainant filed the U.S. Trademark Application No. 87734208 for POLONEZ PARCEL SERVICE on December 26, 2017, claiming a first use in commerce of October 27, 1982.
The Complainant operates its website at "www.polonezparcelservice.com", and its parent company, IPS Acquisitions LLC, registered the corresponding domain name <polonezparcelservice.com> on February 8, 2000.
The Complainant provided evidence in support of the above.
The disputed domain name <polonezparcels.com> was registered on October 17, 2017. The website at the disputed domain name is providing shipping services and shows substantial portions of text identical to the Complainant's website.
5. Parties' Contentions
A. Complainant
The Complainant states that the disputed domain name <polonezparcels.com> is confusingly similar to its trademark POLONEZ PARCEL SERVICE.
Moreover, the Complainant asserts that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name since it has not been authorized by the Complainant to use it, it is not commonly known by the disputed domain name, nor is the Respondent making neither a bona fide offering of goods or services nor a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the disputed domain name.
The Complainant submits that the Respondent has registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith because, by copying substantial portions of text from the Complainant's official website, the Respondent is intentionally attempting to attract for illicit commercial gain Internet users to the website at the disputed domain name, creating confusion with the Complainant's business.
B. Respondent
The Respondent has made no reply to the Complainant's contentions and is in default. In reference to paragraphs 5(e) and 14 of the Rules, no exceptional circumstances explaining the default have been put forward or are apparent from the record.
A respondent is not obliged to participate in a proceeding under the Policy, but if it fails to do so, reasonable facts asserted by a complainant may be taken as true, and appropriate inferences, in accordance with paragraph 14(b) of the Rules, may be drawn (see, e.g., Reuters Limited v. Global Net 2000, Inc, WIPO Case No. D2000-0441; Microsoft Corporation v. Freak Films Oy, WIPO Case No. D2003-0109; SSL International PLC v. MARK FREEMAN, WIPO Case No. D2000-1080; ALTAVISTA COMPANY v. GRANDTOTAL FINANCES LIMITED et. al., WIPO Case No. D2000-0848; Confédération Nationale du Crédit Mutuel, Caisse Fédérale du Crédit Mutuel Nord Europe v. Marketing Total S.A., WIPO Case No. D2007-0288.)
6. Discussion and Findings
Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy lists three elements, which the Complainant must satisfy in order to succeed:
(i) the disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights; and
(ii) the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name; and
(iii) the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
A. Identical or Confusingly Similar
The Panel finds that the Complainant is the owner of the trademark POLONEZ PARCEL SERVICE by evidence of years of use and acquired reputation, and the Panel finds that the disputed domain name <polonezparcels.com> is confusingly similar to the trademark POLONEZ PARCEL SERVICE. Furthermore, the omission of the word "service" and the use of the plural "parcels" instead of "parcel" is not sufficient to distinguish the disputed domain name from the Complainant's trademark.
It is also well accepted that a generic Top-Level Domain ("gTLD") suffix, in this case ".com", may be ignored when assessing the similarity between a trademark and a domain name (see, e.g., VAT Holding AG v. Vat.com, WIPO Case No. D2000-0607).
The Panel finds that the Complainant has therefore met its burden of proving that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant's trademark, pursuant to the Policy, paragraph 4(a)(i).
B. Rights or Legitimate Interests
The Respondent has failed to file a response in accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5.
The Complainant in its Complaint and as set out above has established a prima facie case that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. It asserts that the Respondent is not using the disputed domain name for a legitimate noncommercial or fair use or in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services.
The prima facie case presented by the Complainant is enough to shift the burden of production to the Respondent to demonstrate that it has rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. However, the Respondent has not presented any evidence of any rights or legitimate interests it may have in the disputed domain name, and the Panel is unable to establish any such rights or legitimate interests on the basis of the evidence in front of it.
The Panel therefore finds that paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy has been satisfied.
C. Registered and Used in Bad Faith
Paragraph 4(b) of the Policy provides that "for the purposes of paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy, the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be present, shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith:
(i) circumstances indicating that [the respondent has] registered or has acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of the complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of its documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or
(ii) that [the respondent has] registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that [the respondent has] engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or
(iii) that [the respondent has] registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or
(iv) that by using the domain name, [the respondent has] intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to [the respondent's] website or other online location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of [the respondent's] website or location or of a product or service on [the respondent's] website or location."
Regarding the registration in bad faith of the disputed domain name, the reputation of the Complainant's trademark POLONEZ PARCEL SERVICE in the field of shipping services is clearly established and the Panel finds that the Respondent knew or must have known that the disputed domain name <polonezparcels.com> was confusingly similar to the Complainant's trademark, especially because the content of the relevant website is a very similar version of the content on the Complainant's official website, reproducing in some pages the exact text from the Complainant's official website.
In addition, the disputed domain name is also used in bad faith since at the disputed domain name website, the Respondent is offering shipping services, namely the same services as the Complainant.
The above suggests to the Panel that the Respondent intentionally registered and is using the disputed domain name in order to create confusion with the Complainant's trademarks and attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to its website in accordance with paragraph 4(b)(iv) of the Policy.
The Panel finds that the Complainant has presented evidence to satisfy its burden of proof with respect to the issue of whether the Respondent has registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith.
The Panel therefore finds that paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy has been satisfied.
7. Decision
For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the disputed domain name <polonezparcels.com> be transferred to the Complainant.
Edoardo Fano

According to watchdogs, an investigative consultant hired by the January 6 Committee had a major conflict of interest.
Based on his LinkedIn profile and an internal congressional document obtained by the DCNF, Brian Young is an investigator for Polar Solutions Inc and a contractor for the January 6 Committee. Nevertheless, he is married to House Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms Kim E. Campbell, the second most senior official in the SAA, which like U.S. Capitol Police, is being investigated for security failures during the Capitol riot.
According to Tom Jones, executive director of the American Accountability Foundation, the relationship could pose a "huge conflict of interest" if Young reviews the SAA or Capitol Police's performance.
Jones told the DCNF that Young should disclose his work for the J6 Committee. A husband can't assess his wife's performance independently and objectively.
As part of their responsibilities, the SAA offices in the House and Senate work closely with U.S. Capitol Police to ensure Capitol security, protect members, and handle emergencies. In response to the Capitol riot, the January 6 Committee is investigating "the sharing of intelligence" between federal, state, and local agencies.
The committee will also look into the "systems for monitoring" intelligence used by the House SAA and other government offices before January 6, 2020. In February 2021, former House SAA Paul Irving, who resigned one day after the Capitol riot, testified. Irving stated before the committee that more needs to be done to ensure better security for the U.S. He plans to issue an interim and final report on its findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
In December 2021 and January 2022, Polar Solutions received over $93,000, according to House disbursement records. Polar Solutions provides professional services and expertise to the Legislative Branch for Law Enforcement, National Defense, and National Security, according to Young's LinkedIn profile.
Assuming he communicated with his wife about a matter involving her office, it is Ethics Conflicts 101, Michael Chamberlain, director of the watchdog Protect the Public's Trust, told DCNF. Ethics laws were enacted first to prevent this type of conflict of interest from affecting government affairs.
In addition, Chamberlain questions how he was even allowed to be in such a position in the first place. In such a high-profile and controversial committee, why would anyone jeopardize the credibility of their investigation? The committee's efforts are already questionable in the first place, and it certainly doesn't help.

PS5 Designed to be "Forward Facing", "Bold and Daring Almost" – Sony
Sony's Jim Ryan feels the design will really "grace most living areas."
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 13th, Jun. 2020
Love it or hate it, there's no denying that the PlayStation 5's design is different. It's a huge departure from previous consoles, embracing more curves and a sleek white aesthetic. What prompted such a paradigm shift in the design department?
Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO and president Jim Ryan explained to CNET that, "We wanted to do something that was bold and daring almost. We wanted something forward facing and future facing, something for the 2020s. The PS5's design is meant to demonstrate Sony's belief that the technology inside and the games that run on it are as eye-catching as the outside you see."
Ryan also spoke about having the console "grace" living areas, in a way. "The PlayStation sits in the living area of most homes, and we kind of felt it would be nice to provide a design that would really grace most living areas. That's what we've tried to do. And, you know, we think we've been successful in that."
Sony recently unveiled the PlayStation 5's design during its recent showcase event, which saw huge exclusives like Horizon Forbidden West and a remake of Demon's Souls. Along with the standard console that comes with an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive, there's a drive-less digital edition on offer. This was done to "offer choice" as per Ryan since "Many of our consumers are purchasing solely digitally these days."
No price was mentioned for either version of the console so we'll have to wait for more details the coming months. The PS5 is currently slated to release this holiday season. Launch titles include Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Astro's Playroom, Godfall, Deathloop and more.

The Blue Room is one of the most luxurious spaces in the house and is where we find the richest furniture and decoration. MCC. Photo: Jordi Balcells.
Casa Duran i Sanpere in Cervera is a great example of a Catalan bourgeois house from the late 19th century. Crossing the threshold, walking around the rooms, observing the layout and enjoying the decorative objects provides a great deal of information about the times, especially about interior decorating and the production of consumer goods, in addition to helping us understand certain aspects of the everyday life of its inhabitants. The house is like a document transporting the visitor to the Catalonia of more than a century ago, making it possible to imagine how the members of the family related to each other and to other people, and to learn about the values and manners directing their daily tasks.
A walk around the reception rooms, with their large open spaces decorated to be shown in society, helps us understand a lineage - the Durans - deeply rooted in the political and social life of the city. The most intimate spaces of the house, such as the private chapel, and also the most functional ones, like the dining room, office and kitchen, tell us about family relationships and the lifestyle of the time, and of the transformations over the years when the house was inhabited.


Single-sourcing has been long-established as one of the core principals of modern technical and user documentation: create and manage your content in a database and make it easy to publish and distribute multiple variants and formats. It's a brilliant approach: enabling consistency, improving time to market, simplifying change management and increasing productivity. And the more products, content and documents you have, the more powerful it gets.
But what happens when single-sourcing meets localization? How do ensure you can deliver for multiple language markets without losing the efficiency that single-sourcing enables?
To put it mildly, it can be a nightmare. The linguistic concerns of translation are joined by new ones, related to file organisation. Grammar differences between languages make using variables a lot more complicated. Using conditions stops being that simple as well. Basically, there are quite a few traps to be aware of. How do you avoid them?
For any successful localization process, well-prepared source-language content is the key. This means that you need to start thinking about localization from the very beginning, not in the middle of the whole process.
At the earliest stage possible, well before establishing your single-source authoring environment, you need to ask yourself the obvious question: will my content ever need localization? "No" is hardly ever the answer, because even if it doesn't need it now, it wouldn't be wise to assume it will never need it in the future.
The takeaway is simple: always write with localization in mind. Just as we recommend for e-learning: start global and then adapt for each market. What does this mean in the context of single-source authoring?
For example, variable use. Let's say you're using the Madcap Flare toolset, translating English documentation to German and you're using variables for each manufacturing part name, to make sure they're written and translated consistently across the whole project. If each variable is a single phrase, this should work fine both in English and in German – their grammars are similar enough. But consider Polish. Or Hungarian. Whereas there are only three grammatical cases in modern English and four in German, Polish has seven of them and Hungarian boasts… twenty nine (or, according to others, lacks a case system altogether). This means that a simple variable saying <Car 20> in English may get translated properly to German, Polish and Hungarian when occurring on its own, but turn into gibberish when appearing in sentences like "with <Car 20>", "to <Car 20>" or "under <Car 20>".
In short, with every language things get more complicated: each word may get inflected according to its immediate linguistic context. In a large project, this may generate innumerable problems.
How to avoid them? Create the content in a way that brings possible need for inflection to the minimum. Keep things simple. Write clear sentences. Use lists. Separate content from presentation. Turn to CSS instead of grammar to make things stand out.
These and many other practices are what technical writing is all about. This is a field of its own and people (like us) spend their lives studying and practicing it. But the simplest takeaway in the context of localization is: to keep problems at bay, have your single-source content well written.
Now, what does the single-source content translation process look like? It's different. Translators don't simply get Word or Excel files and meet impossible deadlines. In fact, they often need to get fragmented pieces of content, possibly bereft of context, and then they meet impossible deadlines.
This situation is a by-product of the single-source authoring methodology itself. For example, the authors keep long lists of UI strings in variable files, so that they're sure they appear consistently throughout the content. How do you make sure that they're translated consistently as well? Using a translation memory tool is a start, but the most efficient way is to translate the UI strings (in their variables files) first, and integrate this with the translation memory tool when you translate the main content. But this only works if you are using a translator who understands the relationship between the UI strings and the wider set of content.
For each language, use a qualified, native speaker, who understands your domain, and knows how to work with the latest translation technology. So avoid the temptation to use 'cheaper' translators for this type of content: crowd-sourcing, half-professionals, or the cheapest translation services out there. With single-source content, you need people who understand how single-source authoring works and have experience dealing with it.
Depending on the single-source toolset you are using, there will a number elements that are worth testing to help minimise difficulties in the run-up to a delivery deadline. These tests are sometimes ones you can either do using the guidelines or previewing features built into your tool, or work with your localization partner. Before you test anything, make sure you have understood how your overall documentation file structure will handle localization – understand and imagine the scenarios that might be involved with having 20+ target languages or local market variants. How does your toolset organise for this and how do the relationships between master files and variants or targets work?
Pseudo translation — your localisation partner can take a sample of your content project files and automatically replace your English with characters deliberately designed to simulate the impact of translating into languages that might put pressure on your layouts, such as German, Russian, Chinese, Hebrew or Arabic.
Source capturing — the localisation partner can check with a sample 'bundle' or 'package' of your files that the CAT analysis tool would find all of your translatable text, including any that might be hidden in layers, graphics, videos; with single-sourcing, depending on your toolset, it can be trickier to ensure you have prepared the set of files for translation, and not missed anything.
Single-sourcing is a tried and tested methodology bringing clear benefits. Still, localizing large amounts of content is always a challenge and it's no different in case of single-source content. Big and bold localization projects need more thought put into them. The best ways to make sure everything goes smoothly are good writing, quality translation and early testing. If you take care of these key aspects, everything else should be on your side.
Have you dealt with single-source content localization recently? Or maybe you are facing other localization challenges? Give us a shout here.

The Cruces de Mayo or May Crosses tradition of decorating crosses with flowers can be found in many places throughout the world. The crosses, which can be up to 3 metres high, are decorated with, traditionally, red or white flowers and/or plants in pots. Every year the day or two around the Sunday nearest to May 1st, crosses can be found in many towns around Andalucia but Cordoba is the most famous. It begins the month of May or the month of flowers and is closely followed by the Fiesta of Patios and Fiesta of Balconies and Railings.
Everything starts for a reason and the Cruces de Mayo tradition or legend says that St. Helen is the founder of this particular one. In the fourth century AD her son St Constantine had a dream that a cross would help him win the battle they were in. His troops built a huge cross and carried it into the battle, which they won. The outcome of the victory saw Constantine's family converting to Christianity and Saint Helen went to Jerusalem to find Jesus' cross. When she found three crosses she decided to find out which was the cross of Jesus by seeing which one could perform miracles. One did. It healed the sick and brought the dead back to life. St Helen became a champion for the cross which is why we celebrate them today.
In Cordoba many crosses can be found in nooks and crannies across the city. This age-old custom, became a competition in 1953 rather like the Cordoba patios. In the May Crosses Festival local associations decorate crosses and set up their cross in their area along with a bar serving drinks and tapas, a necessity if it's hot and you're walking around to see the find the different crosses. The first prize winner this year will receive 1,200 euros, a nice incentive to get decorating.
This is Spain so of course there is loud music and it's an occasion so out come the flamenco dresses and you'll probably see impromptu dancing in the streets. In the evenings there are live performances by dance academies in Plaza de las Tendillas and at 12.30pm on Saturday a street procession from Bulevar Gran Capitan involving all the dance academies and flower-filled floats. A joint Seviallnaperformance takes place in Plaza de las Tendillas when they arrive there - a lively, noisy and fun affair.
This year the four-day May Crosses Festival is 27th April to 1st May. To see most of the display wander around the districts of San Basilio, San Andres, Santa Marina and San Agustin.
Here's a map of where to find the crosses throughout Cordoba. Good hunting, have fun and maybe I'll see you there!


Wait, Nevada has new adult-use cannabis regulations? How do we have new regulations when Nevada's dispensaries have been selling adult-use cannabis since July 2017? The "new" regulations replaced short-term regulations that were put in place while the permanent regulations were being drafted and discussed in a series of public hearings.
So, what do the new regulations do? Let's start with a little background on how we got to the new regulations and then a high-level overview of what they do.
June 2013	Nevada Legislature enacted medical marijuana sales program.
April 2014	Initiative Petition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol ("Question Two") was filed with the Secretary of State.
Nov 2014 Health Department issued licenses for medical marijuana establishments.
July 2015 First medical marijuana dispensary opened.
Nov 2016 Question Two passed, required Department of Taxation to regulate adult-use marijuana.
May 2017	Department of Taxation adopted Temporary Regulations.
July 2017 Adult-use sales of cannabis began.
Feb 2018 Nevada Legislature adopted permanent regulations based on input from stakeholders in a Governor's Task Force, public workshops, and written comments.
Yes. Retail stores may deliver adult-use marijuana to private residences. Make sure you are purchasing only from one of the legal retail stores listed on marijuana.nv.gov. There are strict regulations on who can deliver and verification of age.
Are there limits on edibles?
Yes. An adult-use edible may only contain up to 100 mg of THC per package and only 10 mg per serving. In addition, there are extensive packaging and labeling requirements under the regulations, written notifications that must be provided with each purchase, and required signage in retail stores.
One-eighth ounce of concentrated marijuana or 3,500 mg of THC contained within one or more edible marijuana products.
Does the government track your purchases?
No. Retail stores must verify that a person is over 21 years of age to enter a retail store or make purchases, but your information does not go into a government database. The medical marijuana patient registry is only for medical marijuana patients.
Yes. Each licensed establishment must obtain pre-approval for advertisements, signs, logos and marketing. Every advertisement must include "Keep out of Reach of Children" and "For Use Only by Adults 21 Years of Age and Older." In addition, advertisement regulations prohibit certain content, prohibit certain locations, and prohibit certain mediums and audiences.
Will more licenses be issued?
Yes. Under Question Two, the Department of Taxation is obligated to issue more retail store licenses.
Yes. Each person that works in a marijuana establishment must receive training prior to beginning their work and they must obtain a "registered agent card." The requirements for persons working in dispensaries have expanded and each dispensary agent will need training on the new requirements. For training options, visit www.nvdispense.com.
Yes. Under Question Two, outdoor cultivation is allowed with certain restrictions under the permanent regulations.
No. Only persons more than 25 miles away from a retail store may cultivate up to six (6) plants. These plants cannot be sold.
Are establishments required to have security?
Yes. Marijuana establishments have extensive security including cameras, electronic surveillance, alarm systems, security staff, lighting, limited access areas, protocols for minimizing cash on hand, communication with law enforcement, emergency response training and many more. The security regulations have been further expanded under the permanent regulations. Some marijuana establishments have helped solved crimes in their immediate area that were unrelated to the establishment because their surveillance is so extensive.
Yes. Adult-use marijuana undergoes testing for pesticides, mycotoxins, E. Coli, yeast and mold, metals, foreign matter, levels of THC, terpenes, and more. Many products are tested multiple times throughout the process. The permanent regulations add testing requirements, including shelf-life testing, homogeneity testing, and aspergillus testing.

Kevin Paul Mooney (born 5 May 1962) is an English-Irish bassist and guitarist who has worked with Adam Ant, Sinéad O'Connor, and others.

Career
Born in the Greenwich area of London, Mooney began his musical career in 1977 with the English-Irish punk band The European Cowards, in collaboration with John Keogh and rebel rouser John Herlihy. He was then enlisted as the bass player for Adam and the Ants, between 1980 and 1981, appearing on the album Kings of the Wild Frontier. After leaving the band because of personal conflict and creative differences, he formed the band Wide Boy Awake with best friend John Keogh, Harley Price and Horace Carter Allan. Wide Boy Awake released two EPs in the UK, including songs "Chicken Outlaw", "Billy Hyena", "Bona Venture" and "Slang Teacher", some of which appear on 1980s various-artists compilations. The band were managed by Mooney's then-wife Pamela Rooke. "Billy Hyena" was accompanied by a music video directed by Derek Jarman. Wide Boy Awake disbanded soon after without releasing a full album.  During this period, Mooney guested on Sinéad O'Connor's album The Lion and the Cobra, writing and playing guitar on one track "Just Call Me Joe", featuring Leslie Winer on backup vocals.

Next, Mooney formed the band Max (not to be confused with the Japanese vocal group MAX) with Leslie Winer, a former associate of William S. Burroughs, plus John Keogh, Kumar Desai, and John Wright. The band recorded an unreleased album, featuring guitar work by Mooney's former Adam and the Ants bandmate, Marco Pirroni. Mooney formed a new version of Max, which released a drug induced soft rock middle-of-the-road album called Silence Running, produced by Trevor Horn, but the band dissolved in the wake of money problems and drug-related deaths. Mooney relocated to Florida and then to Boston with Winer but returned to the UK briefly in 2001. He now resides in Berlin.

Mooney worked with Leslie Winer as part of the electronic group "C" on the albums Witch and Spider.

In the early 2000s, Mooney formed another band, the Lavender Pill Mob, led by Gary Asquith, a former member of Rema Rema, Mass and Renegade Soundwave, with Harley Price and Lee Jason Simeone. This group recorded two albums (The Lavender Pill Mob and Mike's Bikes) released independently; the second album featured guest vocals by Adam Ant on one song, "Black Pirates" (a reworking of "Chicken Outlaw").

Q: How can I process images with OpenCV in parallel using multiprocessing? I have a set of images in a folder that I want to preprocess using some OpenCV functions. The function
detectAndaligncrop

takes an image path preprocesses it using OpenCV and returns the utput image.
I am able to do it using:
for image_path in files_list:
   cropped_image, _=detectAndaligncrop(im)
   cv2.imwrite("ouput_folder/{}".format(os.path.basename(image_path)),cropped_im*255.)

However this is not working:
jobs=[]
for im_no, im in enumerate(files_list):
    p=multiprocessing.Process(target=saveIm,args=[im])
    jobs.append(p)
    p.start()
for j in jobs:
    j.join()

where saveIm is:
im,lm=detectAndaligncrop(im_path)
        fname="output_path/cropped2/{}".format(os.path.basename(im_path))
        cv2.imwrite(fname,im)

I have verified that it calls the detectAndaligncrop function, but does not process image starting from the line where
gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

is called inside detectAndaligncrop, because "before cvtColor" is called for every image, while "after cvtColor" is not:
def detectAndaligncrop(impath):
    image=cv2.imread(impath)
    image_float=np.float32(image)/255.0
    print ("before cvtcolor")
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
    print ("after cvtcolor")
    return gray, 1

Also,I tried:
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=32) as execr:
    res=execr.map(saveIm,files_list)

This works but no faster than simply running a for loop. Is it because of GIL?

A: I was in need of a multiprocessing approach to pre-process images before feeding them to neural networks. I came across this page called Embarrassingly parallel for loops where mathematical tasks were being run for elements in an array/list in parallel. I wanted to know if this could be extended to images (after all images are nothing but arrays, big 3D arrays!)
I decided to perform the add weighted operation from OpenCV to a collection of images. Using this operation you can apply different weights to two images and add them. It is used for blending images as you can see here
I performed this function with and without joblib for a set of images on my desktop and compared their performances. In the end I have mentioned the number of images and the collective size of these images used.
Code:
import os
import time

#--- Importing the required library ---
from joblib import delayed

#--- Choosing all available image formats of images from my desktop ---
path = r'C:\Users\Jackson\Desktop'
img_formats = ['.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg']

#--- Defining the addWeighted function from OpenCV ---
def weight(im):
    addweighted = cv2.addWeighted(im, 0.7, cv2.GaussianBlur(im, (15, 15), 0), 0.3, 0)
    return addweighted

#--- Using joblib library-----
start_time = time.time()

new_dir = os.path.join(path, 'add_Weighted_4_joblib')
if not os.path.exists(new_dir):
    os.makedirs(new_dir)

def joblib_loop():
    for f in os.listdir(path):
        if any(c in f for c in img_formats):
            img = cv2.imread(os.path.join(path, f))
            r = delayed(weight)(img)
            cv2.imwrite(os.path.join(new_dir, f + '_add_weighted_.jpg'), r)

elapsed_time = time.time() - start_time
print('Using Joblib : ', elapsed_time)

#--- Without joblib ---
start_time = time.time()

#--- Check whether directory exists if not make one
new_dir = os.path.join(path, 'add_Weighted_4')
if not os.path.exists(new_dir):
    os.makedirs(new_dir)

for f in os.listdir(path):
    if any(c in f for c in img_formats):
        img = cv2.imread(os.path.join(path, f))
        r = weight(img)
        cv2.imwrite(os.path.join(new_dir, f + '_add_weighted_.jpg'), r)

elapsed_time = time.time() - start_time
print('Without Joblib : ', elapsed_time)

Here is the result I got:
('Using Joblib : ', 0.09400010108947754)
('Without Joblib : ', 15.386000156402588)

As you can see using joblib speeds up operations like crazy!!
Now let me show you how many images are present on my desktop and what is the total size of them:
overall_size = 0
count = 0
#for f in os.listdir(path):
for  f in os.listdir(path):
    if any(c in f for c in img_formats):
        img = cv2.imread(os.path.join(path, f))
        overall_size+= img.size
        count+= 1

print('Collective Size of all {} images in the predefined path is {} MB'.format(count, overall_size/10**6))

and the result:
Collective size of all 14 images in the predefined path is 58 MB

A: After a few experiments found the error:
Basically, the error is in the method to convert the read image into a grayscale one.
If I use :
gray = cv2.imread(impath,0)

instead of
image = cv2.imread(impath)
image_float = np.float32(image)/255.0
gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

the code works fine,
Perhaps there is some problem in using cv2.cvtColor in MultiProcessing. Someone can shed light on the reasons. Is it about picklability?

Shrewsbury Town skipper Joe Jacobson netted an impressive free-kick to earn victory against his former club Oldham.
Jacobson's goal came on 49 minutes when he whipped a 20-yard effort over the Latics wall and high into the net.
Goalkeeper Chris Weale kept the visitors at bay with sharp saves from Jose Baxter and Kirk Millar.
Winger Jon Taylor went close to doubling Shrewsbury's lead but he fired against the near post after rounding Alex Cisak.
Both clubs guaranteed League One survival last weekend.
Town's victory - only their eighth home win of the season - leapfrogged them above Oldham to 18th, ending a three-match winning streak for Lee Johnson's side.
"It was a cracking goal from Joe Jacobson. It usually finishes out the ground when he takes a free-kick.
"He has risen to his role as captain and put in two tremendous performances, as well as the goal. That might have just given him that bit of responsibility as the skipper of the team.
"We had a very good second half and we should have added to the total and put it out of sight before there was any anxiety late on.
"We showed a lot of energy for this stage of the season. Oldham came here and worked very hard and we had to match that but, in the end, we played some good, pacy stuff."

Black Kidney Disease Patients in Poorer Neighborhoods Less Likely To Be Added to Transplant Waiting List, Study Finds
Black patients with end-stage renal or kidney disease who live in poorer neighborhoods are 56% less likely than whites to be added to a transplant waiting list, according to a study by Emory University researchers, HealthDay/U.S. News & World Report reports.
For the report, researcher Sandra Amaral and colleagues analyzed data on end-stage renal disease patients in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina from 1998 to 2002. Of the nearly 12,600 patients studied, 62% were black, and of those, 17% were put on a waiting list.
While researchers theorized that those who lived the farthest away from transplant centers would be less likely than others to be put on a kidney transplant waiting list, they found that distance to a transplant center did not have a significant influence. According to the study, 27% of black patients and 9% of white patients lived in areas where more than 25% of the population had incomes below the federal poverty level. Amaral said the reasons for the findings are "poorly understood, but multiple factors are likely involved," adding that the findings warrant "further exploration but suggest that racial disparity in the wait-listing process may indeed be a reflection of differential access to health care."
Amaral also noted that the findings highlight "a potential new approach to addressing the disparities: reaching out to poorer communities with advocacy and education" ( HealthDay/U.S. News & World Report , 11/10).

A taster from Tarhana and Keşkek: Origins and Affiliations by Ahmet Uhri
The origin of tarhana is a topic much visited in earlier issues of this journal. The piece which follows, by a Turkish scholar of Hittite civilization, proposes a much earlier genesis than previous contributors. For those readers as unversed as the Editor in such matters, I repeat here the definitions of tarhana and keşkek that can be found in the Oxford Companion to Food. Tarhana 'or trahana(s) [is] a family of grain products, extending from Iran to the Balkans and Hungary. The basic recipe is crushed wheat mixed with yoghurt, allowed to rest and sour up to seven days and then formed into sheets or pellets which are dried in the sun. These … are crumbled at some point before use. The usual destination is soup, but it is also eaten by itself as a sort of pilaf, and often with crumbled cheese as a sort of breakfast cereal.' Keşkek or kashk occurs 'in several different cultural areas – Iran, Iraq, Greater Syria, Egypt, south Caucasia and Turkey. … Nowadays it is … a preserved food made from wheat and/or barley mixed with either sour milk or yoghurt. It can also mean a dish in which kashk or kishk is mixed with vegetables and/or meat; or it can mean dried yoghurt/buttermilk/curds on their own. In the wheat-growing areas of Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, and Armenia kishk is the name usually given to a preserved food made of yoghurt and burghul.'
A culinary dish is usually defined by how the natural products contained within it are transformed. Food that is consumed without transformation is mere nourishment, it is not cooking. However, food may be transformed by more than just cooking, most importantly by the ecosystem in which it subsists. The ecosystem consists of biotic and abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are directly dependent on the geological structure of the environment, and they contain inorganic sub-factors such as the water, air and climate that make that environment habitable. Biotic factors are related to living beings. These may be subdivided into producers, consumers and decomposers. In brief, it is not possible to understand how mankind produces food without being aware of the relations between living beings and the ecosystem, as well as their mutual relations with other living beings within the same environment.
One might ask what has all this got to do with tarhana? The answer relates to south-west Asia at the end of the Younger Dryas (ca. 11,000 bc), or the Big Freeze, when the climate gradually stabilized. In short, when abiotic factors fell into place, so too the foundations of modern times were laid. The civilization built on these foundations cultivated grain – this region is the homeland of domesticated wheat and barley. Surely, it would not be wrong to assume that the fauna of this region must have been as rich as its flora. Sheep, goats, deer, various bird species and other living beings found habitats in different niches of this ecosystem. Land lying 600–800 metres above sea level can be defined as one of these ecological niches: in other words, the region to the south of the south-east Taurus Mountains, sloping down towards Mesopotamia. This restricted yet unitary zone tells one of the most interesting stories in the history of civilization. It is the story of mankind adopting a sedentary lifestyle and beginning to practice agriculture. The first temples and many other indicators of civilization occurred, matured and spread from this region, as did the cultivation of wheat, barley, and other cereals as well as plants, and the domestication of sheep, goats, cattle and other animals. In brief, the first village life in history occurred in this region and radically changed the nutritional habits of mankind. Before this process began (approximately 12,000 years ago), food was obtained by hunting and collecting. It can be said that nutritional habits underwent a revolutionary turn when societies began to protect and store their products, and began to mix compatible foods to prepare a meal.1
Grinding grain or barley and preparing different types of dough and porridge; adding water to produce fermentative products, like beer from malt or boza from grain; the occurrence of milk and milk products as by-products of livestock breeding (the so-called 'by-product revolution' of archaeological jargon); these are all part of the culture that arose under the influence of the ecosystem of this region of south-west Asia. After all, culture in its broadest sense includes everything that is made by mankind rather than by nature. Therefore, the change in nutritional habits is actually a cultural change. One of the products that came about during this cultural shift is tarhana. It might seem daring, but the evidence and arguments presented below indicate that it is possible to trace the origins of tarhana back to prehistoric times. This suggestion is based on archaeobotanical, archaeozoological and archaeometrical data with respect to prehistory, and on the first scripts found in Mesopotamia and Anatolia with respect to historical times.
Where tarhana is concerned, a search of the literature reveals that most discussion revolves around whether tarhana was invented by a Byzantine-Roman-Greek triad or whether it was the product of the Iranian (i.e. Persian) highlands.2 Since most of those writing on this topic are historians, their discussion rarely looks further into the past than evidence provided by Greek, Roman and Byzantine sources. However, a look at studies of archaeological data and evidence from earlier linguistic sources shows that we might locate the origins of tarhana further back in time. This might seem somewhat far-fetched, but I think that European historians may suffer here from an overly Euro-centric point of view and occult prejudice. Whenever they contemplate the Near East, unless they are archaeologists or oriental linguists, history begins with the Greeks and Romans, continues to Byzantium and reconnects to Europe via the Renaissance. Perforce, the Arabs are included in this overarching structure since it was they who made the bridge from classical to modern.

Visiting Kaikoura Peninsula in Canterbury on the South Island of New Zealand at sunset is a breathtaking experience if you like beautiful scenery and wildlife.
Sunset lights up the Kaikoura coastline Mountain Range and the water of Kaikoura Peninsula glistens as the last rays of sun disappear over the horizon of Canterbury, New Zealand. The shores of the Kaikoura Peninsula on the South Island of New Zealand are extremely rugged and extend five kilometers into the Pacific Ocean.
The Maori people have lived around the Kaikoura Peninsula in Canterbury for the better part of 1000 years. They used the peninsula as a base for hunting Moa and harvesting crayfish off the shores of Kaikoura. In the 19th century, whaling stations were established but today the whales are more protected and the waters of the Kaikoura Peninsula are a superb place to watch whales. The whales frequent these waters because of the abundance of marine life that is brought in by strong currents from the Hikurangi Trench. ... continue below the picture...

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson hospitalized with coronavirus
LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was diagnosed with the new coronavirus more than a week ago, was admitted to a hospital Sunday for tests.
RELATED: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson moved to intensive care with COVID-19
Johnson's office said he was hospitalized because he still has symptoms 10 days after testing positive for the virus.
Downing St. said it was a "precautionary step" and Johnson remains in charge of the government.
Johnson, 55, has been quarantined in his Downing St. residence since being diagnosed with COVID-19 on March 26.
Johnson has continued to chair daily meetings on Britain's response to the outbreak, and has released several video messages during his 10 days in isolation.
British Prime Minister Johnson tests positive for virus
In a message on Friday, he said he was feeling better but still had a fever.
The virus causes mild to moderate symptoms in most people, but for some, especially older adults and the infirm, it can cause pneumonia and lead to death.
Johnson has received medical advice by phone during his illness, but going to a hospital means doctors can see him in person.
Johnson's fiancee Carrie Symonds, 32, revealed Saturday that she spent a week with coronavirus symptoms, though she wasn't tested. Symonds, who is pregnant, said she was now "on the mend."
The government said Sunday that almost 48,000 people have been confirmed to have COVID-19 in the U.K., and 4,934 have died.
Johnson replaced Theresa May as prime minister in July and won a resounding election victory in December on a promise to complete Britain's exit from the European Union. But Brexit has been overshadowed by the coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe.
Johnson's government was slower than those in some European countries to impose restrictions on daily life in response to the pandemic, but Britain has been effectively in lockdown since March 23.
Several other members of Johnson's government have also tested positive for the virus, including Health Secretary Matt Hancock and junior Health Minister Nadine Dorries. Both have recovered.

Patients must be able to make informed decisions about whether to pursue IVF – and when to stop. posteriori/Shutterstock
Financial motives drive some doctors' decisions to offer IVF

Around one in 25 Australian babies are conceived using assisted reproductive technologies (ART), including in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). These interventions are almost all offered in private fertility clinics, backed by a thriving fertility industry.
Women who are deemed eligible for IVF can have an unlimited number of cycles subsidised by Medicare, but out-of–pocket costs can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars per cycle.
Our research, published today in the journal Human Fertility, suggests the money being made from IVF could be subtly changing the advice doctors give.
Although IVF is a well-established procedure, it is not without its risks. These include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, where hormone levels rise too much (causing abdominal swelling, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea); obstetric complications such as premature delivery; and psychological distress, especially if the process fails.
Although long-term outcomes for children conceived using IVF appear to be similar to non-IVF children, questions remain about possible harmful impacts, including developmental abnormalities and cancer.
Given the financial, physical and psychological burdens of IVF, patients must be able to make informed decisions about whether to pursue these treatments in the first place, and when to stop. So it's concerning that couples are often oversold the likelihood of success.

This "overselling" may be a result of the way information about "success rates" is conveyed. A 30 year-old woman has a 40% chance of a live birth after a single complete IVF cycle (so, after all viable embryos have been transferred). A 40 year-old woman, in contrast, may have a 10% chance of a live birth following a complete IVF cycle.
The same 30 year-old might have a 70% chance after six complete cycles, while the 40 year-old might only have a 25% chance.
Success rates of IVF may appear deceptively higher if success is defined as clinical pregnancy (of just six to eight weeks), or live birth at a stage that is generally incompatible with sustained life (as early as 20 weeks or 400 grams).
Alternatively, rates may appear lower if they are reported per embryo transfer rather than per complete cycle.
Commercialising IVF
In 2014, two major players in the ART industry were floated on the stock exchange for more than A$300 million each. This reportedly boosted some fertility specialsits' annual salaries to more than A$1 million. But what about the effect of commercialisation on patients and taxpayers?
Read more: AUDIO Q&A: The business of IVF
To investigate this question, we conducted in-depth interviews with a range of professionals involved with ART in Australia, including obstetricians, policy advisors, researchers and counsellors.
Interviewees said financial motives were influencing ART practices in Australia, with some women offered IVF who don't actually need it. Others are offered repeated cycles of treatment, even when they aren't likely to succeed.
This dynamic was seen to be facilitated by the current Medicare system. The safety net protects patients by limiting the amount they have to pay out-of-pocket once they reach a certain threshold.
But it can also potentially encourage over-servicing and over-charging. There is no cap on the number of procedures that can be offered or the fees that can be charged. Doctors can therefore offer additional services for higher fees without patients incurring significant additional costs. This has serious implications for the health system.
As one of the people interviewed in the study observed:
I just think the business model and the fact that it takes advantage of Medicare, and the fact that the Medicare safety net helps spread the risk of out-of-pockets from the patient to the taxpayer is just basically being used to make some people a lot of money.
Importantly, nobody who was interviewed suggested that ART clinicians were deliberately misleading patients for their own financial benefit. The problem identified was subtler and reflects a deep ambivalence at the heart of medicine.
On the one hand, doctors are expected to be committed to their patients, research participants or the general public, and not concerned primarily with their own enrichment. On the other hand, doctors need to earn a living and, in Australia at least, do so in a health system that supports – and even depends upon – publicly subsidised private practice.
There is no reason these interests are incompatible but their co-existence raises questions about how commercial interests may influence practice.
Read more: Don't dismiss conflict-of-interest concerns in IVF, they have a basis
The commercialisation of ART raises questions not only about the motives and behaviour of clinicians, but also about how those seeking ART services should be viewed. They could be seen as patients who are potentially highly vulnerable and to whom clinicians have a duty of care requiring them to play an active role in guiding patients in their health care choices even if this means that some interventions are strongly discouraged.
Or they could be viewed as consumers free to choose whatever interventions they want in a health care marketplace, no matter how much they cost or how unlikely they are to succeed. This idea is, of course, predicated on the assumption that consumers will be provided with accurate information about risks, costs and benefits which, as many others have noted, cannot be assumed.
Although the Human Fertility study was small and does not represent the views of all professionals involved with ART in Australia, it reveals that concerns about the impact of commercial interests in ART have not simply been drummed up by the media for dramatic effect. It is time for an honest discussion about the Australian fertility industry, and about the role of money in medicine more generally.

Das Amt Stollberg war ein Amt im Kreis Nordfriesland, Schleswig-Holstein. Es umfasste knapp 120 km² und hatte gut 6000 Einwohner in den vier Gemeinden Bargum, Bordelum, Langenhorn und Ockholm. Der Verwaltungssitz befand sich in der Gemeinde Langenhorn.

Geschichte
Im Rahmen der Kreisreform in Schleswig-Holstein wurde 1970 der Kreis Nordfriesland gegründet. In der Folge sollten die Gemeinden des Amtes Langenhorn zusammen mit den Gemeinden Bordelum und Reußenköge das Amt Stollberg bilden. Dagegen klagten sowohl die Gemeinden des Amtes Langenhorn wie auch die Gemeinde Reußenköge. Das Amt Langenhorn wurde schließlich zum 1. Januar 1972 aufgelöst und das Amt Stollberg ohne Reußenköge, das amtsfrei blieb, gebildet.

Zum 1. April 2008 fusionierte das Amt Stollberg mit dem Amt Bredstedt-Land und der Stadt Bredstedt zum Amt Mittleres Nordfriesland mit Verwaltungssitz in Bredstedt.

On Prof. Hindley
So you may have noticed that we here at Innermost Parts haven't been talking much about the Professor Hindley situation.
That's by design. There's no point commenting until we have something useful to contribute to the debate. I will say that, at this time, I generally agree with the sentiment expressed here:
Rather than taking an objective approach to determining whether Hindley's comments were discriminatory, the administration appeared to begin the process with a judgment already in mind. Due process was ignored, and the administration instant punitive response made Hindley's guilt a foregone conclusion. Unfortunately, this is not the first event in recent years in which the administration has been criticized for failing to protect freedom of speech rights. While increasingly more competitive students matriculate at this University, the administration continues to exercise its ability to censor speech.
This seems to be part of a troubling trend of hamhanded authoritarianism on part of the Brandeis establishment. If we understand the accounts of the University correctly, it seems clear that the University has not been acting honestly in this case, with it's own Committee on Faculty Rights and Responsibilities finding that
Brandeis's investigation had "lacked thoroughness and impartiality" and "concluded that decisions made by Provost Marty Krauss to threaten termination and place a monitor in Hindley's classroom 'should now be entirely withdrawn.'" The committee's report also faulted the university administration for its vague standards on allegedly offensive speech and its relation to allegations of discriminatory harassment, noting that the standard for true discriminatory harassment involves far more than merely offensive speech.
Most tellingly, it seems the University has been flouting its own rules, threatening to fire a tenured professor, denying him some due process rights, etc.
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education wrote a concerned letter to President Reinhartz. He never replied, but Provost Marty Kruass wrote that she considered the case "closed".
When the ACLU makes a stand, we pay attention. We here at Innermost Parts do not consider this issue closed at all. We don't know why the Administration has such animosity towards Professor Hindley, but it seems that the he is in the right.
3 comments on "On Prof. Hindley"
sahar, do clarify. Why do you choose to defend Hindley? Freedom of speaech do not warrant any figure to use profanities in an inappropriate manner in any situation in which their words are representative of the university and it's aims.
First off, even assuming that Hindley did wrong, it's important to note that the University broke it's own rules in dealing with the situation. Not cool. It's all about due process. Hindley was denied due process.
"innocent until proven guilty", and the administration did no proving, only accusing.
Secondly, and I mean "of secondary importance" here, As far as I can tell, he didn't do anything wrong. He commented that other people use a derogatory word to refer to Hispanics.
Lastly, the committee that is set up to take care of these sort of things recommended that all charges be dropped etc.
I mean, cmon. The University threatened to sack him. He's tenured; they can't do that!
They send emails | Innermost Parts Says:
[…] Hindley is an outspoken voice on campus in challenging the administration. When the administration broke its own rules in its haste to attack him, that creates a clear perception of wrongdoing. All of the Brandeis […]
