In formal language theory, an alphabet is a non-empty set of symbols/glyphs, typically thought of as representing letters, characters, or digits but among other possibilities the "symbols" could also be a set of phonemes (sound units). Alphabets in this technical sense of a set are used in a diverse range of fields including logic, mathematics, computer science, and linguistics. An alphabet may have any cardinality ("size") and depending on its purpose maybe be finite (e.g., the alphabet of letters "a" through "z"), countable (e.g., ), or even uncountable (e.g., ).

Strings, also known as "words", over an alphabet are defined as a sequence of the symbols from the alphabet set. For example, the alphabet of lowercase letters "a" through "z" can be used to form English words like "iceberg" while the alphabet of both upper and lower case letters can also be used to form proper names like "Wikipedia". A common alphabet is {0,1}, the binary alphabet, and a "00101111" is an example of a binary string. Infinite sequence of symbols may be considered as well (see Omega language).

It is often necessary for practical purposes to restrict the symbols in an alphabet so that they are unambiguous when interpreted. For instance, if the two-member alphabet is {00,0}, a string written on paper as "000" is ambiguous because it is unclear if it is a sequence of three "0" symbols, a "00" followed by a "0", or a "0" followed by a "00".

Notation
If L is a formal language, i.e. a (possibly infinite) set of finite-length strings, the alphabet of L is the set of all symbols that may occur in any string in L.
For example, if L is the set of all variable identifiers in the programming language  C, L's alphabet is the set { a, b, c, ..., x, y, z, A, B, C, ..., X, Y, Z, 0, 1, 2, ..., 7, 8, 9, _ }.

Given an alphabet , the set of all strings of length  over the alphabet  is indicated by . The set  of all finite strings (regardless of their length) is indicated by the Kleene star operator as , and is also called the Kleene closure of . The notation  indicates the set of all infinite sequences over the alphabet , and  indicates the set  of all finite or infinite sequences.

For example, using the binary alphabet {0,1}, the strings ε, 0, 1, 00, 01, 10, 11, 000, etc. are all in the Kleene closure of the alphabet (where ε represents the empty string).

Applications
Alphabets are important in the use of formal languages, automata and semiautomata.  In most cases, for defining instances of automata, such as deterministic finite automata (DFAs), it is required to specify an alphabet from which the input strings for the automaton are built. In these applications, an alphabet is usually required to be a finite set, but is not otherwise restricted.

When using automata, regular expressions, or formal grammars as part of string-processing algorithms, the alphabet may be assumed to be the character set of the text to be processed by these algorithms, or a subset of allowable characters from the character set.

Le Corbusier Freed the Plan!
Way back in 1920's, one of the worlds greatest thinkers in the history of architecture, freed the plan. Le Corbusier, released the constraints of a classical understanding to give us, amongst a range of things, columns instead of structural walls. This one calculated but simple act, freed the design of the residential ground plan by removing its barriers, literally, to created an unrestrained interior. Truth is though, he did so much more than removing structural walls and replacing them with columns. In a stroke of genius, he also freed the constraints of a social norm, and introduced a new way of thinking to what was a stayed, yet classically delightful palate of architectural design and construction. Unshackling the antiquated accepted, Le Corbusier did what all great design thinkers do. He saw the potential for residential architecture, to offer more, aesthetically, functionally and socially. He thought about the constraints of the everyday, and he designed those constraints for a modern era. Boldly, we thought if Le Corbs can do it, then why can't we?
Has anyone else noticed that by and large, the model for suburban space planning, the design of our residential communities is business as usual or to put it another way, the same as it has always been? Clever renders or lifestyle pics sell a renewed and refreshed experience of suburban occupation. Images are so convincing that as a society we know that the next master planned community with its integrated walkways, bikeways, parks, promenades and signature mature aka immature landscaping will offer us a unique suburban slap happy and healthy existence in a ready made community of our choosing. However, in all our space planning greatness of integrated human habitats, conducive to green and healthy occupation, we keep churning out much of the same, except each year the blocks get smaller, dwellings consume sites - boundary to boundary, and the green edge? What green edge! Its like someone has turned off the tap on how to thinking smartly, how to take the antiquated suburban experience and offer it differently.
Just as Le Corbs freed the plan, and reaped the rewards offered by adding a new structural integrity to residential dwellings, we've taken the accepted suburban normal and freed it from its inherited suburban constraints. We know it works because just like Le Corbusier, the action of doing means we reap the rewards through a suburban structure that understands the complex needs associated with the ecology of sustaining life. Needs that stretch beyond the monocultural, but vastly appealing lifestyle must have list of suburban space planners and amenity makers to include the must have list of hierarchical human essentials. Abraham Maslow coined it his hierarchy, and the provision of food sits proudly as a fundamental key. But for the want of keeping it all very simple, our suburban reality pars back the structural complexity of the food lifecycle by introducing the residential corridor to the inclusion of integrated edible suburban landscapes that in all their flavour-hood glory, are public in nature.
We do suburbs differently and just as Le Corbusier saw it necessary to free the plan, we are freeing the suburbs of the antiquated understanding associated with creating active, engaging and green suburban habitats for human occupation. Le Corbs freed the plan, suburban food landscapes free the neighbourhood!

The Oxford BRC is delighted to announce the appointment of seven new Senior Research Fellows, the second cohort of emerging research leaders to receive the accolade.
clockwise from top left: Sarosh Irani, Graham Collins, Helen Dakin and Bethan Psaila
The selection process was a coordinated effort by the Oxford BRC and its partners in the NIHR Oxford Health BRC, which focuses on mental health and dementia, and the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) for Oxford and the Thames Valley. Of the seven Senior Fellows, two are supported by Oxford Health BRC and one by the ARC.
The new Senior Fellows, who will receive £10,000 per year for a period of two years to facilitate their translational research programme and career development, were chosen from an extremely strong field of candidates from across the scientific and clinical community because they demonstrated that their research was high impact and of high quality.
They also demonstrated leadership, independence and collaboration with other research groups.
The aim of the fellowships is to support individuals to advance an independent research area which will enhance BRC research in Oxford and strengthen future BRC funding applications.
The seven new fellows are:
Sarosh Irani is associate professor and honorary consultant neurologist with a clinic and lab focused on the study of patients with autoantibody-mediated diseases of the central nervous system.
Graham Collins is a consultant haematologist and is currently the lymphoma lead for Oxford University Hospitals where he is engaged in early phase clinical trials. He is chair of the National Cancer Research Institute Hodgkin Lymphoma Study Group and was also a member of the lymphoma guidelines development group of NICE.
Bethan Psaila is a Cancer Research UK Advanced Clinical Scientist based at the MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine (WIMM) working on megakaryocyte/platelet biology and bone marrow fibrosis in cancer.
Helen Dakin is a senior researcher in the Health Economics Research Centre. She works on the economic evaluation of NIHR-funded trials within the Oxford BRC. Her current projects include: the STAR trial, the ACHE study, and the KAT trial.
Susannah Murphy is a Senior Research Fellow and University Research Lecturer based in the Department of Psychiatry. Her research uses a translational experimental medicine approach to provide an early assessment of the neural and cognitive effects of novel treatment approaches for psychiatric disorders in humans. (Oxford Health BRC)
Gail Hayward is a GP and is currently an NIHR Advanced Fellow. She is also the Deputy Director of the NIHR Community Healthcare MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostic Cooperative, or MIC. Her research focuses on diagnosis and management of common infection in primary care, with a particular focus on evaluating novel diagnostics in UTIs. (ARC)
Jennifer Wild is an associate professor in Experimental Psychology and a consultant clinical psychologist developing and evaluating treatments for anxiety and stress disorders, and interventions to prevent these problems in emergency responders. (Oxford Health BRC)
Over the next two years, the Senior Fellows will also have the chance to take part in a series of masterclasses and network with principal BRC fellows.

Álvaro del Portillo Diez de Sollano  (Madrid, 11 de marzo de 1914-Roma, 23 de marzo de 1994), con nombre de nacimiento Álvaro Portillo, fue un obispo español, sucesor de san Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer al frente del Opus Dei. Tercero de ocho hermanos de una familia cristiana, era doctor ingeniero de Caminos y doctor en Filosofía y en Derecho Canónico. Fue beatificado en Valdebebas (Madrid) por el cardenal Angelo Amato el 27 de septiembre de 2014, en una Misa a la que asistieron más de 200000 personas provenientes de todo el mundo. Su festividad se celebra el 12 de mayo.

Vida
Álvaro del Portillo nació en Madrid (España) el  11 de marzo de 1914, tercero de ocho hermanos, en una familia de honda raigambre cristiana. Su madre era mexicana, aunque de padres españoles. Su abuelo materno, Ramón Díez de Sollano, había sido oficial de Don Carlos (VII) en la tercera guerra carlista y había emigrado a México después de la misma.

Álvaro del Portillo estudió en el colegio del Pilar de Madrid, junto con el colegio recibió su primera Comunión en la parroquia de la Concepción de Nuestra Señora. Estudió en la Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos de Madrid. Conoció a Josemaría Escrivá a través de Manuel Pérez Sánchez, en la residencia DYA. Solicitó su admisión al Opus Dei el 7 de julio de 1935.

Durante su época de estudiante, fue militante de la Comunión Tradicionalista (integrado en la Juventud Tradicionalista y la AET). Tras la detención de su padre por la policía gubernamental, tuvo que abandonar el domicilio familiar y estuvo en situación de fugitivo, huyendo de refugio en refugio. En octubre de 1936 le concedieron asilo en la embajada de Finlandia. Los días 3 y 4 de diciembre de 1936, los guardias de asalto asediaron dicha embajada y el día 5 entraron en algunos edificios anejos a dicha embajada y arrestaron a todos los refugiados, entre ellos, a Álvaro del Portillo. Los trasladaron a la cárcel de San Antón, siendo juzgado el 28 de enero de 1937, y liberado al día siguiente sin cargos. De allí se dirigió a la embajada de México, donde estaba su madre. Al cabo de un mes, las autoridades de la embajada lo expulsaron. El 13 de marzo de 1937 se exilió en la legación Honduras. Posteriormente se presentó con identidad falsa como voluntario al Ejército Popular de la República con el fin de pasarse a la zona del Bando Nacional, siendo enviado al frente.

Fue ayudante de Obras Públicas, aprobando el examen de ingreso en 1933 y posteriormente llegó a ser doctor ingeniero de Caminos y doctor en Filosofía y en Derecho Canónico.

Tras prepararse junto con José María Hernández Garnica y José Luis Múzquiz, para recibir la ordenación sacerdotal, fue ordenado sacerdote el 25 de junio de 1944 por Leopoldo Eijo y Garay.

En 1946 fijó su residencia en Roma, junto a Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer.

Formó parte del Consejo General del Opus Dei de 1940 a 1975; de 1940 a 1947 y de 1956 a 1975 fue secretario general.

Fue consultor de diversos organismos de la Santa Sede. Trabajó en el Concilio Vaticano II, primero como presidente de la comisión antepreparatoria para el laicado y luego como secretario de la comisión sobre la disciplina del clero y como consultor de otras comisiones. Sus libros Fieles y laicos en la Iglesia (1969) y Escritos sobre el sacerdocio (1970) son, en buena parte, fruto de esa experiencia.

El 15 de septiembre de 1975 fue elegido por el papa Pablo VI para suceder a san Josemaría Escrivá al frente del Opus Dei.

Al ser erigido el Opus Dei como prelatura personal, fue designado obispo por Juan Pablo II, quien le confirió la ordenación episcopal el 6 de enero de 1991. En 1985 fundó en Roma el Centro Académico Romano de la Santa Cruz, germen de la Universidad Pontificia de la Santa Cruz. En 1989 impulsó la constitución del Centro Académico Romano Fundación (CARF), para el sostenimiento económico de la formación del clero.

Durante sus diecinueve años al frente del Opus Dei, la labor de la prelatura se extendió a veinte nuevos países. Murió en Roma el 23 de marzo de 1994 después de regresar de una peregrinación a Tierra Santa, habiendo celebrado su última Misa en el Cenáculo. Juan Pablo II acudió ese mismo día a rezar ante sus restos mortales. Sus sagrados restos se encuentran en la iglesia prelaticia de Santa María de la Paz (Roma). Está abierta su causa de canonización.

Beatificación
El 28 de junio de 2012, con la aprobación del papa Benedicto XVI, la Congregación para las causas de los santos promulgó el Decreto sobre las virtudes heroicas, que lleva consigo el título de "Venerable".

El papa Francisco firmó el 5 de julio de 2013 el decreto que reconoce un milagro atribuido a su intercesión. Su beatificación fue llevada a cabo el sábado 27 de septiembre de 2014 en Madrid, España; la ceremonia fue oficiada por el representante del papa, el cardenal Angelo Amato, prefecto de la Congregación de las Causas de los Santos. A la ceremonia acudieron unas doscientas mil personas de todo el mundo. Al día siguiente, en el mismo lugar, Mons. Javier Echevarría Rodríguez celebró una Misa de acción de gracias.

Su fiesta se celebra el 12 de mayo, día de su primera Comunión.

The "word of His grace" in this context is most specifically the whole gospel. Notice especially that Paul says he is committing us to the word of His grace which is able to build us up, to edify us. We could think of it edifying us in terms of building a muscle or of erecting a structure. To put it another way, the word of grace matures us. We usually think of maturity, which is a building of personality and character, as a growth from childhood and all of its weaknesses to a stable adult. Another way of putting it would be, "The word of grace enables us to go on to perfection."
What is beginning to open up here is something very beautiful. Grace does not end when God forgives us. The grace of God continues to add to what was originally given, because if He stopped giving things with the forgiveness of sin, that would be the end of growth; it would stop right there. Forgiveness is only the beginning portion of a process, for God keeps giving us grace to enable us to mature, to grow in grace and knowledge (II Peter 3:18), to grow to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13). We would never get there unless God continued to pour out His grace on us.
The apostle Paul shows grace to be something that is dynamic and active. Remember Jesus said, "The words that I speak to you [the word of grace] are spirit and they are life." There is power in them!
What is the gospel? It is words. It is good news, but it is composed of words of power. This word confers a blessing that is unique, that enables us to mature spiritually. Words—any words—have the power to build or to destroy, to encourage or discourage. They can either be true or they can be lies. They can inspire or they can sadden and depress. It all depends on how they are used, the attitude in which they are used, and how they are arranged.
The gospel is an arrangement of true words that fill us with purpose for living and show us how that purpose can be obtained. It comes completely as a gift; we are favored. The word of grace brings delight and salvation—an arrangement of words given in a loving attitude by a loving God.

Band Agreements And Why You Need One
Christopher Knab
Music Business , Guest Columnists
A band agreement (sometimes called a partnership agreement) is proof-on-paper that there's a commitment within your group to deal with the everyday realities of being a professional musical act.
How many times have you heard the phrase "money changes everything"? Well, it's true, and it's one of the main reasons that you want to sit down with your fellow band members and work out on paper how you're going to deal with the successes or failures that come your way before you start making money as a band or musical group. When money enters the picture, I can assure you that does indeed change everything.
No one wants to admit that they're ever going to be problems within a group of musicians. But, believe me personality problems, or business differences, or career goal conflicts within a group happen.
Why rock the boat by bringing up band agreements? Some bands go on for years without a written band agreement and live to regret it.
But hey, if you feel you don't need a band agreement, OK, forget about it. Leave everything to an unspoken agreement, to a sense of fairness, to chance. As you read the summary of typical band agreement issues below, say to yourself after reading each point, "Well, that won't be a problem in my group." Perhaps if you chant this enough, you can conjure up a musical genie who will protect you from the jealousies, egos, and money problems that cause band breakups and lawsuits.
Should you decide you're not immune from these problems, save yourself some attorney fees by discussing these issues beforehand. Write notes on how you'll handle these issues - before you sit down to have a legal agreement drawn up by an entertainment law attorney (at a cost of approximately $150 an hour). These are the typical issues that should be discussed and resolved in a band agreement.
What form of business will the band take?
You can be a sole proprietorship, a partnership, or a limited liability corporation. It's beyond our discussion here to get into the specifics of each, but do some research and make an appropriate choice. If you start making money with your music, you better realize you are a business. The IRS and other state and local agencies might just be interested in having you pay some taxes like any other responsible citizen. Besides, choosing the right business form is just the right thing to do. You did say you wanted to make money with your music, right? Well, act like a business and choose a suitable business form.
Who owns the copyrights to your songs? Who is/are the songwriter(s)?
Suffice it to say, there are as many possible answers to this question as there are members in a group. You have to take heed and resolve this issue. The real money in this business will come from the successful exploitation of the copyrights to your songs. Music publishing is a huge issue and there are many good books on the topic. If you want harmony within in your group, then agree on who writes all the songs and come up with a fair system to divide up the songwriting royalties. If you do not do this, when any kind of success comes along you'll be in deep doo-doo about the split of those songwriting royalties with your fellow band-mates.
Share of profit and loss considerations
You will have to define how the money (profit or loss) is divided. All band members could be equal partners and divide the profit or loss equally. You could also distribute the profit or debit the loss based upon the percentage owned (i.e. in case you're doing business as a corporation, with each person owning a certain percentage).
How do you make group decisions? How will you vote on band issues?
You have a couple choices; unanimous or majority rules. If you're "All for one and one for all," then choose the Three Musketeers way of voting. All decisions must be made unanimously, with no dissenting votes. If the democratic system is more attractive to you, then agree to a majority vote; the dissenting members of your group will get to hold a grudge and pout for the next month. (Guess which voting mechanism I'm inclined toward? Well, the subject today is commitment isn't it? What kind of commitment is there when contention exists within a group?)
Who owns the name of your group? Or, what about leaving members?
Never thought of that one, huh? Well, you'd better. There have been hundreds, if not thousands of lawsuits by members of groups who split up and then fought over which members could continue to use the band's name. This could be resolved in a band meeting, after a regular rehearsal is over, rather than in a court of law. Consider the following options:
* No one can use the name if the group breaks up, regardless of how many in the band are still performing together.
* A majority of the group members performing together can use the name. For example, if there are seven people in a group that breaks up, then four of them together can use the name.
* Only the lead singer, (name), can use the name, regardless of who he/she is performing with.
* Only (name), the songwriter who founded the group and thought of the name, can use the name, regardless of who he/she is performing with.
* (Name of songwriter who founded the group and thought of the name) and (name of lead singer) can use the name as long as they perform together, but if they don't, no one else can use it.
* If the band doesn't do anything, most likely the band name will be treated the same way as any other business partnership asset - meaning that any of the partners has the nonexclusive right to use it.
How will you fire someone who isn't carrying their load?
What is meant by "carrying your load" in your band? If a band member is showing up late for rehearsals, missing rehearsals with lame excuses, missing or showing up late for sound checks and live gigs, how will you and the other band members deal with that? I suggest you agree to rules for acting like professional musicians. When a rule is broken, your band will have a policy to deal with it. What kind of vote do you use to fire somebody? Choose between majority rules and unanimous.
Ex-members and money - who gets what?
What happens after members are fired or quit? One option: they keep their percentage of money that comes in for past work done with the group. Or, they don't keep their percentage for past work.
Money issues: band member investments and/or loans to the band
Let's say that someone in your band has more money than the other members. They're the generous type, you know, they say things like "Don't worry about the $200, we're in this together. Some day you'll have money when I don't - it will all work out." Right. Until there are some hard feelings, or the generous donor has some expenses and could really use that dough now. Many unpleasant scenarios can happen when money is spent without a clear understanding of how, or if, it is to be repaid. If you have a sugar daddy in your group, discuss in your written band agreement how your business form will deal with that issue.
Spending money and hiring other business professionals
What kind of vote does it take to approve spending money for the group? What kind of vote do you use to hire a lawyer, agent, or manager, to bring in a new musician? Again, the two basic options are majority or unanimous.
If it's true that musicians often fail in their careers because of a lack of commitment from their fellow musicians, then I find it particularly important for each band member to be responsible for a specific business task. If, for example, someone takes on booking the shows, other members can split the work of getting posters designed, printed, and put up. There are plenty of tasks: getting bills paid, finding rehearsal spaces, sending out press releases. If you're making a recording, someone will be setting up recording sessions and planning for manufacturing, promoting, marketing and selling the CDs. Until a band has established itself as a viable money-making entity - one that is attractive to labels, management companies, booking agencies, publishers, and merchandise companies - somebody has to take on all the jobs of being a real band. And that somebody is everybody in your group.
Amendment of the Band Agreement
What kind of vote does it take to change the terms of the band agreement? There are more issues that should be included in a band agreement. I recommend a book called "Music Law: How To Run Your Band's Business" by Richard Stim. He gives you a template for an actual agreement plus an in-depth discussion of band agreements, legal issues and reasons why a band agreement is so important.
There you have it. Deal with these issues or they'll come back and bite you.

Competition law developments in East Asia - August 2016
Global | Publication | August 2016
Distribution in East Asia: looking beyond RPM
Powdered drink manufacturer sanctioned for abusive distribution policy in Indonesia
Table of contents of our August 2016 report (Issue 91)
This month's editors: Maxime Vanhollebeke, Emir Pohan, Pearl Yeung, Michael Kim, Sophie Chen, Yui Ota, Lydia Fung and Ada Lam.
Below is an excerpt from our monthly Competition Report. More detailed commentary on these issues and other recent competition law developments in the Asian region is to be found in this month's edition of our report available on a free subscription basis (see further below).
Competition law enforcement in the region concerning distribution practices adopted by parties without market power has commonly focused on resale price restrictions; and the imposition of heavy fines for resale price maintenance practices can be observed in several jurisdictions, including China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
However, a number of recent developments suggest a broadening of interest towards other types of vertical restraints – in particular, territorial, channel and product exclusivities. In China, the draft guidelines for the automotive industry published earlier this year, coupled with the express reference to the existence of cross-supply restrictions in this month's decision against Haier indicate that concerns may already be verging on vertical restraints beyond the sphere of resale price restrictions.
Non-price related vertical constraints have also emerged on the agenda of other authorities in the region, including Indonesia's Commission for the Supervision of Business Competition, which this month sanctioned exclusive distribution practices by a dominant supplier, and Japan's Fair Trade Commission, which has begun raising questions about the legality of most-favoured nation clauses (known as price parity clauses) in the online sector – on account of their potential effect of dampening price competition amongst distributors. Meanwhile, the Japanese authority has also reportedly commenced probes into territorial restrictions (known as, destination clauses) in the gas sector.
While resale price maintenance remains a clear enforcement priority in the region, parties to distribution agreements should bear in mind constraints that may apply to other types of vertical restraints when designing their supply and distribution networks in East Asia.
On 30 August, the Commission for the Supervision of Business Competition (KPPU) announced its decision to impose a fine of Rp11.46 billion ($800,000) on Forisa Nusapersada, a local packaged food and beverage producer, for abusing its dominant market position in violation of Articles 19(a), 19(b) and 25 of the Law No. 5/1999 on the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition.
The producer was found to have devised a marketing program to induce its resellers to promote its powdered drink product, Pop Ice, at the expense of competing brands. More in particular, the KPPU found evidence that Forisa had created an incentive program and entered into exclusive agreements with downstream kiosks and stores encouraging them not to sell the products of its competitors (Milkjuss, S'Cafe, Camelo and SooIce).

Phone directories appeal to avoid copyright wipeout
by Noric Dilanchian | 14/02/2010 | Copyright Law
News Corp sources indicate that Telstra and Sensis have obtained leave to appeal Justice Gordon's judgment to the full bench of the Federal Court. No comment appears so far from the websites of Telstra or the About Us section of Sensis.
The full court judgment may arrive in 2010, or later, there are many variables in this case.
Whatever the outcome is in this case there are practical, serious and urgent priorities for owners of directories and databases who claim copyright.
The Lightbulb post on Justice Gordon's judgment is Telstra loses as copyright blowback continues. As it stands the judgment removes the copyright foundation that holds in place the business of the Yellow Pages and White Pages.
For Sensis a lot rests on copyright, as is evident from the fact that a copyright notice appears in the footer of every printed Sensis directory page.
For Sensis, owned by Telstra, market perception too is critical. There's the perception of those advertisers for whom Yellow Pages is critical or unavoidable. Online advertising competitors are cutting into the revenues of traditional monopoly directories, just as they have for classified advertising in newspapers.
There's also the perception of shareholders, Telstra shares have declined since Justice Gordon's judgment.
The judgment has significant implications for claims to there being copyright in directories and databases under copyright law in Australia. There are also implications for other types of compilations, eg alphabetical lists of transport facilities and timetables, stock exchange prices and lists of fixtures for the AFL and other sports. Using copyright law as it used to be their proprietors have extracted fees or blocked others from market entry. The game is changing.
This is so because of the High Court's April 2009 IceTV decision. This was read as a game changing decision by Justice Gordon. You can read the unanimous decision online here: IceTV Pty Limited v Nine Network Australia Pty Limited [2009] HCA 14. Significantly, there was criticism in that High Court 2009 decision of the Full Federal Court 2002 decision in Desktop Marketing System, a phone directories case which went in favour of Telstra.
Before the phone directories and IceTV cases Australian copyright law treated directories as "literary works". This is the same copyright category under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) as applies to novels, articles, and software.
Practical Takeaway
Due to the decision in IceTV and Justice Gordon's decision, there are immediate practical takeaways for proprietors of databases and directories. Each should review basic copyright questions such as:
who are the authors of the database or directory?
what literary work has each author produced or co-authored?
where are the contracts with the authors and what do they say about copyright?
what is it about the content that makes it original?
where are the records required to substantiate copyright claims?
At Dilanchian we specialise in answering these copyright questions and developing practical and legal documentation and advice specific for the needs of publishers of databases and directories.

Can a ring tone make you sexier?
Some links you just can't help but click on, and Pherotones was one of them. It's a ringtone that's designed to turn any woman/man/whatever around you into a sexual beast. Don't believe me? It's too hot for mainstream science! This is technology that's being studied by a picture of a "intimacy expert," so you know it's good. The only way it could be better is if there were bits of real panthers in your cell phone.
I clicked to listen to the "Testosteroni" ring tone and I'm convinced that half the time, this would work every time. While the science may be "too hot to handle" by mainstream science, I have to think that this is nothing if not a great idea. I mean, people have been annoying people with ring tones since the beginning of time. Why not use them to hook up?
I'm half convinced this is a joke site, but man I got a kick out of it. That and I like saying "Testosteroni." It doesn't look like anything is for sale here, but I'm interested in anything that lets my better half know how I feel. In a "deep, visceral, neurosonic level." With everything people are buying for their cell phones, I'm just mad I didn't think of it first.
Update: According to this site it's a viral marketting campaign. I'm not sure what they're advertising, but this is at least one of the more interesting viral sites I've seen in a while.

Sing. Play. Edify.
Book Review: "Why Johnny Can't Sing Hymns"
Why Johnny Can't Sing Hymns: How Pop Culture Rewrote the Hymnal
T. David Gordon
P & R Publishing, 2010; 192 pages
Gordon's book seeks to diagnose the decades-long infiltration of pop culture into the church, and into its music specifically. He focuses on the term contemporenaiety, which he defines as the exclusive preference for what is contemporary, and the belief that newness is a distinct virtue. He argues that American evangelical church music has embraced contemporaenaiety and rejected tradition, and thereby rendered itself shallow and insipid.
His insights in the preface regarding broad societal trends are immensely helpful, particularly in reference to the dominance that monopoly that contemporary pop music enjoys. Gordon writes,
We think we are choosing to listen to pop music, when in fact we are not choosing, any more than a Kentucy coal miner flatters himself that he "chooses" English. He does not compare and prefer Enlgish to (for example) French; English is all he knows. So also, I fear that our generation, a generation that has so consciously cut itself off from the previous generations, thinks it is "choosing" to listen to contemporary music, when in fact, because of our earlier choices and the ubiquity of pop music in our culture, contemporary music is simply the only music that sounds, to our ears, like music (15).
Gordon also leads strongly out of the gate with some excellent thoughts regarding the weightiness of corporate worship music. He counters the assertion that such discussions are merely preferetial:
Neither music nor song is merely a matter of entertainment or amusement. Both are very serious business, both culturally and religiously. Song is the divinely instituted, divinely commanded, and divinely regulated means of responding to God's great works of creation, preservation, and deliverance. Worship song is both the remarkable privilege and the solemn duty of the redeemed. Therefore, to suggest that worship song is "merely" or "just" anything, whatever that "anything" is, is to deny the very teaching of Scripture about the importance of worship song in God's economy— an importance so great that it characterizes the life of the redeemed to come (31).
Music, by its very ubiquity in our culture, necessarily becomes mundane rather than sacred. And once our sensibilities regard music as mundane, it inevitably becomes "merely" music, and therefore not a thing to be rigorously studied (33).
In his chapter entitled "Introductory Considerations," Gordon grants that the issues he is tackling are not easy:
Like worship, music is a reality that involves us emotionally and sometimes deeply, and therefore it is difficult for us to establish the philosophical distance necessary to evaluate it on aesthetic or music grounds (39).
He then begins the main argument of his book: namely, that an obsession with contemporary forms and styles in corporate worship is damaging to the church. Some helpful thoughts on Luther's emphasis on vernacular worship:
What evidence exists suggests that Luther believed in what we now call sacred music— music that is deliberately and self-consciously different from other forms of music. He and others of his generation often wrote new musical tunes, for the distinctive purpose of accompanying hymns. And at any rate, vernacular and contemporary mean different things, and therefore an argument for one is no argument for the other… [Luther's] concern was for intelligibility, not contemporaneity (46).
Unfortunately, from this point forward, the book was largely disappointing. Gordon employs the straw man fallacy frequently throughout the book, with examples too numerous to quote in detail. He repeatedly ascribes to contemporary musicians both spurious philosophies and (more uncharitably) motives. His generalizations of contemporary music are sweeping and dismissive. Other statements I simply found unsupportable.
Without intending to be ungracious, here is a small sampling of assertions I took issue with:
Proponents of contemporary worship music ordinarily compare it to what they call traditional hymns, and argue that some of the best of the one are nearly as good as the worst of the other (48).
Aesthetic relativism may be as unbiblical as (or, as I think, more unbiblical than) ethical relativism (53).
Guitar-playing just doesn't sound serious; it sounds like casual amusement (61).
Sacred music in our day does not wish to sound different from secular music; to the contrary, it intentionally emulates it, and attempts to sound exactly like it (75).
Surely Christianity is transcendent, not immanent (91, emphasis mine).
The guitar's timbre limits it to less significant things… Maybe the guitar can handle a little truth, but it can't handle much (98).
The so-called free-church movement… is sub-Christian or imperfectly Christian, and therefore, in some respects, un-Christian. To refuse to confess creedally some beliefs about God, or to refuse to join the rest of the catholic church in so doing is, effectively, to deny the church catholic… The free-church movement is therefore halfway towards becoming a cult (122).
If a song sounds contemporary, it already has one strike against it, and needs to overcome that strike by being extraordinarily good in every other way (123).
Gordon begins the book well, and he makes a number of bold claims. But his book fails in two ways:
He makes no compelling case (indeed, no case at all) for a biblical aesthetic from Scripture, which ought to be the supreme authority in such a discussion. On the matter of aesthetics, he references a handful of secular philosphers and no Christian philosophers, and then confidently asserts that claims of aesthetic relativism contradict the Christian tradition (55).
He shows an insurmountable, personal bias against nearly all sacred music written within the last century, but he never effectively substantiates claims of its inferiority beyond broad societal trends. This should not be a surprise, because Gordon states repeatedly that he has no musical training or expertise. His arguments regarding music are almost entirely thinly-veiled confirmation bias.
I wanted very much to like this book. I have yet to read a compelling defense of a traditional music aesthetic— and such a work would be valuable. I share the author's concern for the cancer of pop-culture banality that has infested the church and her music. But Godron's unfair accusations, repetitive writing style, and spurious assumptions render his work insufficient for the task. The book could more accurately have been titled, Why I Don't Like Guitars. He presents a case but fails to defend it.
We periodically send out announcements regarding new arrangements and resources that we make freely available here on Grace Music.


San Diego, Calif., Sept. 30, 2013 – Power Analytics Corporation, the leader in advanced energy and power management solutions, has released a new product – Paladin® WSM – designed to help data center managers optimize their usable physical space.
White space, usually defined as the critical physical space in a data center, is the area where facilities and IT truly come together. It is here that computer resources are located, powered and cooled, and where WSM will make a difference.
Remote Power Panels manager (RPP) automates the creation and operation of power panels for the data center. Rack View manager shows the available spaces in the rack, what is installed, the power load for the installed devices, the manufacturer's specifications, and the actual power consumption (with rack power monitoring). Finally, Heat Map overlays a dynamic, animated map as a semi-transparent layer over any view of the data center.
As with all Paladin software, WSM works with any data source, regardless of the equipment manufacturer or the architecture underneath. WSM also integrates with customer billing, asset management systems and other business applications. Paladin WSM is available now.

I would like the questions and their answers to be proximal in the source, but, upon compilation, for the questions to all clump together in one section of the output and the answers to all clump together in a different section of the document.
For instance, the input might be:
Question 1
Answer 1
Question 2
Answer 2
Question 3
Answer 3

whereas the output might be:
Questions About The Calculus of Puppies
Answers About The Calculus of Puppies
Questions About The Algebra of Cats
Answers About The Algebra of Cats

Off-handedly, I think this could be achieved using floating environments and flushes, perhaps similar to what the endfloat package does. But perhaps there are better ways?

A: This is a very, very small version of a quick - and dirty question/solution approach. The tcolorbox stuff is rather eye-candy then really needed. (Apart from advancing counters)
Each \Question has a mandatory argument (for the question) and a 3rd. optional argument for the solution content. The 1st. opt. argument is for options (not used here, due lack of time).
The solution is written to an external file named \jobname.sol, the question file is (again) not used here.
(Admittedly, I grabbed from a non-working package of mine, which is not ready to be published :-()

Quoniam: Engagement Report 2020
As an active investor, companies are influenced to promote sustainable business and good corporate governance. In this respect, Quoniam works together with Union Investment, which implements our guidelines in contributions and votes at general meetings and in direct dialogue with companies in the interests of our clients.
The engagement approach essentially consists of three phases: in the pre-engagement phase, problem areas in companies are identified that can be addressed through engagement activities. The two levers in the actual engagement phase are the exercise of voting rights and direct dialogue. All votes are published on the Union Investment voting dashboard shortly after the AGM. The most common topics include corporate governance issues, controversial shareholdings, carbon emissions, the switch to renewable energies, diversity, environmental issues and social standards. In the post-commitment process, the results of activities are assessed at regular intervals.
Engagement Report 2020
In 2020, the entire year was dominated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Virtual AGMs and online events are a major cause of disruption for shareholders. Personal contact with the supervisory board and management, which are the chance to get a first-hand impression of the company, are limited. Therefore, a return to normality would definitely be welcome. Moving events and meetings to online formats makes it possible to actively participate in more shareholder meetings and give speeches. In 2020, Union Investment represented our interests at 28 general meetings.
Achievements in 2020 included Ryanair's commitment to participate in the Carbon Disclosure Project, Bayer's goal of carbon neutrality by 2030, and Anglo American's phasing out of coal by 2023.
Without losing sight of the imminent climate problem, our commitment was directed towards the area of human rights. We wrote to 38 affected companies, including Volkswagen, Siemens and Nike, and asked them how they ensure that the human rights of employees in the region are respected. The first responses have been received and evaluated. The aim of the commitment is firstly to improve the situation of the local people and secondly to minimise risk. Economic activities in a region with serious human–rights violations entail risks of legal action and reputational damage that could potentially harm the company's share price. This has to be prevented through consistent engagement.

December 3 is observed as International Day of Persons with Disabilities or World Disability Day. Commemoration of this day was done by United Nations General Assembly through a resolution in 1992.
The aim of International Day of persons with disabilities is to promote the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities in all spheres of society and development. Its day for all is commemorating inclusion so that we can all belong and thrive, in all of our diversity. The aim is to focusing to empower persons with disability with equal opportunities and inclusiveness. The idea is to empower them with equitable, inclusive and sustainable development.
We celebrate this day to recognize the commitments and contributions of persons living with disabilities for this society. Our celebrations and participation make us to rededicate to build barrier free society. On this occasion, awareness is spread on how influential factors can get involved in breaking down the attitudinal and structural barriers for people with disability.
The theme of this specific day is one of agenda point for Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Inclusion in SDGs agenda aims to ensure participation of each and every individual even with disability. Hence the persons with disabilities can be beneficiaries and means of change which leads to inclusive development.
Around 1 billion people around the globe live with different disabilities. This figure is a huge segment hence in order to achieve the sustainable development, it is important for academic institutions, persons with disabilities and the organizations that represent them, to collectively work as a team.
In considering the above mentioned scenario to break up the dilemma of the world, it is humble appeal to all developmental agencies and individuals including youth, educationists make their utmost efforts to make the persons with disabilities feel normal like other people of the society.

What Does a Multi Millionaire Look Like?
I pose the question as repeats of Patti Stanger's "Millionaire Matchmaker" plays in the background. Immediately I picture someone dressed extravagantly, lounging in their decadent home, trying to figure out what to do with their time.
It's just kind of crazy to me. Here I am at 24, feeling guilty for making $57k a year, give or take, and I'm working with people who, by the time they were in their mid-20s, already had, oh, a few hundred million dollars in the bank. At the least, it makes me stop feeling so damn guilty about wanting to make more money.
The cool thing about working for people who were so successful in the past is that you know they're working for passion. My company is run by a lot of really successful people and I look up to all of them. It's kind of crazy that I was just a wee little high schooler back when they were all making an internet product that I used frequently. And now, here I am, sitting in the same office as these brilliant folks, giving them my opinion on things.
I'm not quite sure what they all think of me. I really want to do a good job at this company, and to prove myself. I don't think I'll personally become a millionaire at this job, heck, I gave up any stock options on my latest contract in order to raise my monthly income by another few hundred dollars. I'm not complaining, really, it's just that it's tough for a… copywriter and community manager… to be valued in the same way, say, an IT person would. Which makes total sense — IT skills, esp top-notch IT skills, are worth a fortune. Copywriters are a dime a dozen. I think I'm a pretty good copywriter. I think I've found the right type of job for me.
My favorite part of my job is that I actually get to collaborate with people. Being a journalist was so damn lonely. I had to talk to people I didn't know, which made me super anxious, and then the people I did know had no time to talk or work together to create something new. Now? If we're all hitting a brick wall in the office in terms of new ideas, we'll go into a conference room, down some candy and throw out ideas until we come up with something good.
That's what I love. Being part of that collaborative process. There's nothing better.
Anyway, I just realized that not only do I work with a bunch of rich people, I work with a bunch of multi-millionaires. I mean, I don't know how much they all are worth, and that's really none of my business, but the point I'm getting at is that you'd never know just by meeting these folks. They're so laid back, t-shirt and jeans types. I hope that if I ever do become successful, on whatever level, I'll be able to remain as humble and grounded as they are.
Lol, I feel exactly the opposite way about being a journalist. I love talking to new people all the time, and my wider range of contacts and sources outside the office, in addition to my great co-workers. I always thought I'd feel claustrophobic in a typical office job.


I was trying to install MySQL with workbench on my Debian9 but I just wasn't able to. I had to stop doing my Java Web course for this reason. The sources I used was these two ones.
I also looked into other configuration but I wasn't able and I have been with this problem for some time. Here is pretty much what happened.
Edit and change the bind-address to 0.0.0.0 (I wasn't able to do that, because of the next step).
Also no error shows up on the screen. I want to know if anyone knows a solution for this? Or if this is a thing that happens on Debian9. Someone knows how to get around it?
Also the winner answer is any that can make me able to work with MySQL with Workbench on Debian 9.
Double check the location of your config file (/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf) and make sure it is actually there.
Assuming that sudo did not produce any error output, meaning you're opening mysql's config file with super user privileges, being blank means it's empty.
Youtube videos for the most part are giving instructions for their respective versions and those are subject to change.
That's interesting. I just checked and there is a "mariadb.cnf" file instead of a "mysqldb.cnf" file. And inside the file I have the following information.
2. "/etc/mysql/conf.d/*.cnf" to set global options.
3. "/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/*.cnf" to set MariaDB-only options.
4. "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.
If the same option is defined multiple times, the last one will apply.
One can use all long options that the program supports.
–print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.
I am not really sure how to get around this. But I will try and find something. I think you shed some light so I can find an answer.
Thank you very much Michael! Have a great day.
I was able to solve the problem. I found this tutorial on the internet that explained why I was having some problem. It seems that the folks at MySQL (I would have to check that better) designed Workbench for Mac Unix system. And for Debian you would need to allow some changes in it. I followed the steps below and it worked. This might be a case to leave this infor hanging somewhere in case someone else needs heps as well.
The reason is that recent Ubuntu installation (maybe others also), mysql is using by default the UNIX or auth_socket plugin.

Q: What are best VIM plugins to configure efficiency? There are a lot of options with VIM that can be configured, and many of the are related to memory management and speed up, or some related to file opening and utf8 support. What plugins can I install to manage all of these in one place for me?

A: Tim Pope's sensible.vim offers a basic set of configuration options as a starting point, mostly because many Vim defaults aren't optimal for most users today. Apart from that, you have to (or don't, if you are fine with the defaults) tweak the Vim options yourself, because every workflow is unique, and Vim is a particularly configurable editor, and unbiased in its approach.
Vim "distributions" like spf-13 and Janus lure you with a quick install and out of the box settings, but you pay the price with increased complexity (you need to understand both Vim's runtime loading scheme and the arbitrary conventions of the distribution) and inflexibility (the distribution may make some things easier, but other things very difficult). Vim is incredibly customizable, using someone else's customization makes no sense.
So, start with a basic configuration, and whenever you feel something's not optimal for you, go on a journey, investigate available options in the excellent and comprehensive :help, search other's .vimrc's on the Internet, and tweak your config. Rinse and repeat regularly.

A: There's no such thing.
You are supposed to manage Vim's options by adding/editing them manually in your ~/.vimrc.
The :options command lets you set all of Vim's options in one place but your changes won't stick between sessions.
The only sane way to have your settings persist is to add them to your ~/.vimrc.


slavers and colonialists has taken root and pushed most of these religions out of mainstream life. My best friend, the biggest mistake I have ever made. Thats a part of life. They treat you like a criminal just for trying to feed your kids. It would show a fair and square average, and no man could say it had done more or less than its duty. The world can be a cold place, but a little bit of kindness can make it a lot warmer. Then he said, "She is four minutes slow regulator wants pushing." I tried to stop him tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time. It was indeed an awesome sight a giant stone effigy standing among great trees, with huge eyes and long arms spread out like wings. I speak over her. After this the watch averaged well, but nothing more.
So much in life is about the choices that you make. How did you resolve it? Write about a time when you did something that you were afraid. This essay was first published in The Atlantic Monthly and then, online, in the "Atlantic Abroad" section of the Atlantic's Website,. You never know until you try. It can be in a way that benefited you or worked against you. You cant run from your past. Do not forget that the business of the essay is to make a point.
People will treat you differently based on how you are reputed. One could have imagined him thousands of years old. Our guide then led us down to the river. Its how I pay my custom literature review for dissertation bills and find an outlet for my frustration with a society that allows the poor to suffer. Creating access to healthy food is my job, but its also my passion. Staying cool and calm helps you perform better, but this isnt always easy. We stood outside for hours, making tiny cups of vegetable stir-fry and offering them to passersby. Take note of the rich detailing of the forest, the caretaker, and the minister from the city and try to describe how the details lend themselves toward the purpose of the article. I began to be left by trains, I failed all appointments, I got to missing my dinner; my watch strung out three days' grace to four and let me go to protest; I gradually drifted back into yesterday, then day before, then into last week. Great narrative essays also have turning points. We are all tempted to do things that we shouldnt at times.
"We'll be the judge of that! My fat body is still a good body. Food justice is complex work.
