«Не́вский поро́г» — мемориал в городе Отрадное Ленинградской области на месте ожесточённых боёв за прорыв блокады Ленинграда.

История

В августе 1942 года гитлеровское командование планировало начать штурм Ленинграда.

19 августа бойцы 268-й стрелковой дивизии полковника С. И. Донскова после мощной артиллерийской подготовки и бомбовых ударов атаковали позиции противника на восточном берегу реки Тосны. Одновременно десант захватил железнодорожный и шоссейный мосты и занял маленький плацдарм на берегу, получивший название «Ивановский пятачок».

Описание мемориала
В 1944 году по проекту архитекторов К. Л. Иогансена и В. А. Петрова на берегу реки Тосны был установлен бетонный обелиск. В 1960-е годы, когда ленинградцы создавали Зелёный пояс Славы, трудящиеся Дзержинского района возвели посвящённый защитникам Ивановского пятачка памятник «Невский порог».

На вершине пологого холма спланирована площадка, замощённая бетонными плитами. На ней находится 23-метровая горизонтальная стела, которая лежит на трёх поперечно поставленных блоках. В мемориальной надписи на стеле перечислены части и соединения, сражавшиеся на этом рубеже в 1941—1944 годах. Высота каждого блока − 1,8 метра. Они установлены со сдвигом один по отношению к другим и имеют разную длину. Рядом с памятником врыты надолбы, на одном из них надпись: «Путник, передай Ленинграду — враг не прошёл». Архитекторы памятника — В. А. Петров, Ф. К. Романовский, скульптор А. Г. Дёма.

Рядом с памятником построена часовня. Автор проекта — архитектор С. Г. Струков. Приписана часовня к Иоанновскому храму. На братской могиле рядом с устьем Тосны установлен обелиск.

7. United Nations environment and development UK
The United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development will discuss tourism at its 7th Session in 1999. It will also hold a two day dialogue session where NGOs, trade unions, industry and local government will put forward their viewpoints on how tourism might be made more sustainable. This exchange with governments will inform the formal negotiating process. Tourism is a very heterogeneous industry but can be seen as an important driver to enable poverty elimination through the development of new employment opportunities and the enhancement of local economies. The development of 'pro-poor' economic development is seen as crucial to sustainable development.
There was a workshop on 'Sustainable Tourism and Poverty Elimination' held in October 1998 by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions and by the Department for International Development on October 13th 1998. A paper by Harold Goodwin of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology was used as the focus of a group discussion; the paper raised eight questions about tourism in developing countries:
· Can an adequate regulatory framework be established within which codes of ethical and sustainable trading, labelling and rating systems can have credibility and achieve change?
· How can these objectives be achieved given the dominance of the tourist originating countries?
· Can Northern governments, international aid agencies and NGO's and Southern governments work together to redress the balance?
· How can developing country governments and donors identify projects and destinations where local economic benefits are likely to be maximised through market access, local linkages, taxation and employment?
· How can best practice in local integrated tourism development be identified and then shared?
· How can local communities be empowered to participate m the management of destination areas?
· How can the international tourism industry, NGOs and governments assist in programmes to enhance local participation in the industry?
· What role can UK tour operators and NGOs play in developing these partnerships?
Subsequently it was agreed that these would be addressed under two broad headings and that they would have a destination focus. The two areas were:
(1) How can we develop partnerships for sustainable tourism?
(2) What roles do certification, incentives and regulation have?
The original paper was used to inform the UK Government and European Union co-ordination on sustainable tourism needs. It is based on a workshop held at UNED-UK on the 9th of February 1999. The report aims to provide input to the forthcoming UN Commission on Sustainable Development meeting in April 1999.
There were initial contributions from Sharon James of the UK Development Organization Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO), Richard Dickinson of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and Toby Middleton (UNED-UK). The discussion began with comments on the current situation, where most organisations involved in tourism are aware of the need to meet issues of sustainability, such as tourist behaviour, education, local economies and environmental protection. What remains less clear is the mechanism by which changes can occur. Building links between interested parties will help to ascertain the existing position of tourism operations, uncover examples of good practice and areas where difficulties arise in the process of tourism development. Approximately 1/3rd of all tourism companies already provide some form of information about their commitment towards sustainability but that still leaves 2/3rds of organisations in the dark. There clearly needs to be a focussing of priority areas between different groups in terms defining action plans and time frames for more effective implementation. VSO, amongst other NGOs, feel that there is a need to redress the balance of sustainable activities to better reflect community issues as well as the existing environmental issues, and therefore better incorporate the principles of Agenda 21. Industry is really beginning to respond to the needs of environmental sustainability but there is discontinuity in terms of the incorporation of social and cultural areas. Also corporations need to continue to avoid merely fulfilling legislatory obligations but keep acting ahead of more formal frameworks, to maintain a more pro-active stance. The challenge is open for all patties toward more practical forms of action rather than simply continuing to debate over the issues.
Tourism is a fairly mature market for many nations and has close connection with other issues of sustainability, such as oceans and coastal zone management, indigenous communities etc. Hence the linkages between the key areas of sustainability for tourism are often more clearly apparent than other areas. However, the ties with development and environmental and social aspects are not always so transparent. Furthermore, there is the potential for local tourism companies to fail if a locality is wholly dependent on tourism as a means for development. Therefore tourism needs to act as more of a link/seed for diversification of industries and in support of capacity building, e.g. in terms of capital and technical resources.
At a recent tourism side-event at the UNEP Governing Council meeting, the demand for increased community and regional involvement in tourism development was highlighted. It was suggested that a greater need for industrial accountability, via tools such as benchmarking and the setting of time lines to create more quantitative goals and monitor the progress of implementation. The discussions at the side-event also raised the view that policies, in relation to sustainable tourism, will need to be more practicable within the industrial arena. It is also still unclear who will continue the debate at the interagency/UN level and highlight issues, such as financial leakages, community engagement and the role of the tourist in participatory processes at an international level.

Life-Sized Lego X-Wing Replica Breaks World Record
There are a lot of world records and the truth is, a lot of them are really boring. Fortunately, this isn't one of them. A team of thirty-two people working at the Lego Model Shop in Kladno, Czech Republic spent 17,000 hours and five-million Lego bricks constructing a 43-foot-long, 45,980-pound Rebel X-Wing fighter replica – which just happens to be the biggest Lego model in the world.
This wasn't just for goofs, however, as the model is part of a promotion for a new animated series coming to Cartoon Network called Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles. The model is currently on display in New York City, but it will be coming to the west coast soon. Once it does, I'm going to sit inside the cockpit, security be damned.
You can see more images of the model at Lego's official Facebook page. Have a good weekend and may the force be with you.

Salmonella Enteritidis
Since late-2018, the Australian egg industry has responded to a series of incidents involving the bacteria Salmonella Enteritidis (SE).
During this time, 13 egg production facilities in NSW and one egg farm in Victoria had detections of SE. The first was in NSW in September 2018, and more detections followed as a result of a targeted program of testing and surveillance.
All the properties that were confirmed to have SE present were interconnected in that people, eggs or equipment were moving between them.
SE is not endemic in Australia and it remains unclear how this strain arrived here. Given the regular movements of people from overseas and imported goods, there are many possibilities for SE to enter Australia.
It is unfortunate that this pathogen has made its way to egg farms but the focus has been on minimising the impact.
Protecting human health is paramount and every effort has been made to minimise the risk to the community. In June 2019, at the peak of the SE outbreak, there was a total of 235 reported cases of Salmonella Enteritidis illness in humans across NSW, Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania.
While concerning, this sits within the long-term average of Salmonella infection rates nationally. In 2018, there were 14,154 reported cases of Salmonella illness in Australia across all foods.
There was a proportionate public response with product recalls resulting in sharp declines in cases of illness.
Basic safe food practices are still the best way for consumers to protect against Salmonella risks. These practices include ensuring eggs are cooked thoroughly and preventing opportunity for cross-contamination. These steps can be effective even if a product is contaminated.
For consumer-friendly information on eggs and salmonella click here.
Responding to incidents
Every effort is being made by government and industry to limit the spread of SE while assessing management options. Steps taken include quarantine and movement restrictions, farm depopulation and decontamination of impacted farms.
An intensive tracing and testing process has been conducted by government authorities to ensure that if SE emerges, it can be caught early. More recent incidents have been detected through this process and they continue to be limited to interconnected farms.
The SE incidents have raised the issue of traceability, with egg farms wanting a greater level of certainty about the origin of eggs they purchase so they can ensure strong biosecurity is maintained across their supply chain.
Putting stamps on eggs to identify the source of eggs is required in all states but this generally applies at the sites where eggs are packaged and not necessarily on farm.
Comprehensive traceability systems are implemented on a voluntary basis but the SE incidents have sparked consideration of how this could be achieved more consistently. The industry is engaging with governments to discuss options for improvement which could provide benefits for egg farmers and consumers.
It's not about that
The SE incidents were linked in the media to a number of egg industry issues that emerge from time to time. These include suggestions that food safety risks have been caused or exacerbated by: intensive farming, cage, barn or free range farming, farm size or free range outdoor stocking density.
These issues have more to do with competitive jostling and personal values than evidence and have not been particularly helpful in building an understanding of the SE incidents.
SE risks are driven by biosecurity practices and farm management. It is these issues that are the focus of industry and government in responding.
The impact on the farms where SE was detected has been devastating, with many unable to recover from the loss of their flock and being unable to sell eggs into the marketplace.
More broadly, having withstood years of drought that doubled the cost of feed grain, egg farmers face the cost of even higher biosecurity measures.
Nonetheless, the egg industry remains committed to managing this new challenge to maintain the confidence of the community in Australian eggs.


Hah hah, that's often me, too!
Hahaha! Flannery! You are not alone at the little kids table. I find myself there very often.
Actually, I just finished a book with really high ratings on GR, and after I read it, I was like WTF? Will not be reading book 2 in that series.
I am also going to write a blog post about this…I enjoyed reading your post and I like your take on the issue. Thanks.

A gorilla in the US is addicted to smartphones
by Lochie Schuster
Credit: Stuartb / iStock / Getty Images Plus
It looks like the toxic traits of humans are being passed on to primates because a gorilla at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago is addicted to smartphones.
All four of the gorillas at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo love a bit of screen time, but according to zookeepers, one of the gorillas, Amare, spends a concerning amount of time looking at a screen.
If you're like us and had the image of a gorilla playing Candy Crush in your head, we're sorry to disappoint you. Amare is actually addicted to videos held up by zoo patrons.
Credit: Getty
The zoo's visitors would regularly hold up pictures and videos to the gorilla enclosure, which would mesmerise the primates inside.
But recently, Amare was consumed by a five-hour reaction video to every episode of iCarly (there's no information about the real video, but thats our guess) when another gorilla attacked him while distracted.
Amare was fine, and his enclosure-mate was only playing around, but zookeepers have also noticed he has been withdrawing from the other gorillas since the addiction and spending a lot of his time in the corner.
So to try and combat both these issues, the zoo have taken action. Patrons are no longer allowed to stand right up to the glass of the enclosure, but are still able to view the gorillas from behind a roped off section laid out by the zoo.
Since the rope has been installed, Amare has quickly shown positive reactions to the change, and is spending far less time in the corner of the enclosure than he used to.
Comparisons have been drawn to the effects of smartphones on humans, which can often lead to self-isolation and social withdrawal.
So maybe this is a telling tale to limit our own screen time, or maybe the lesson to take home from this is that your housemates are more vulnerable to a spontaneous wrestling match if they're looking at their phone. We'll let you decide.

The extended mean values E(r, s; x, y) play an important role in theory of mean values and theory of inequalities, and even in the whole mathematics, since many norms in mathematics are always means. Its study is not only interesting but important, both because most of the two-variable mean values are special cases of E(r, s; x, y), and because it is challenging to study a function whose formulation is so indeterminate. In this expositive article, we summarize the recent main results about study of E(r, s; x, y), including definition, basic properties, monotonicities, comparison, logarithmic convexities, Schur-convexities, generalizations of concepts of mean values, applications to quantum, to theory of special functions, to establishment of Steffensen pairs, and to generalization of Hermite-Hadamard's inequality.

Shop Talk: Average Is Expensive
The average expectation from dealers has been steadily decreasing. While I can't put my finger on specific reasons, I have some theories and ultimately, some concerns for the future.
John Fuhrman
Studies show… The median price… Estimates reveal… These statements share a commonality in business and in life. Designed to be used to encourage or discourage, depending on context, they all share a costly definition — AVERAGE.
It's almost like being the new kid in school. The desire to fit in overrides the desire to be successful. Here's the real kick in the teeth: in the last 40 years, the average has gotten worse. For example, in 1979, my first full year in retail, we had cars with mark-ups ranging from $300 up to $1,600. Yet, that year I made just over $41,000.
In powersports today, the mark-ups are relatively close and according to Zip Recruiter in this year's survey, the average powersports salesperson is making just over $40,000.
How is it possible that incomes can remain stagnant for decades?
The average expectation from dealers has been steadily decreasing. While I can't put my finger on specific reasons, I have some theories and ultimately, some concerns for the future. For example, I believe I had early success for two specific reasons. First, I had managers who worked with us to make every deal. Second, the dealer had expectations of each salesperson selling and delivering 20 or more units each and every month. In fact back then, anyone who sold less than 20 in two consecutive months was fired.
Dealers today either don't have any expectations and take what the market gives them, or never spell out what's expected. I am working with a powersports store with an owner who is a great guy. I'd enjoy being at a barbecue or a ballgame with them. But I can't fix unknowns.
When asked his goal for the store, he wants to reach 100 units per month. While he has the right franchises and product mix, he only has four salespeople and one of them is a pretend BDC person. The other three range from the senior guy who sells just enough to beat the other two (which is seldom more than 20 units) and two who have less than six months experience. The sales manager has no powersports experience and came over from a car dealer to lessen the stress in his life.
If the dealer truly wants to sell and deliver 100 units, simple math tells me that each member of the staff must deliver 25 units. Or you have to take the "average" of current production and increase your staff accordingly. Suggesting this to the dealer resulted in, the "I don't want to upset anyone," defense. Listen, it's legal, moral and ethical for a dealer to be happy where they are. They made the investment in time, real estate and money, so they get to decide. That's the point, they get to decide — but they aren't.
On one hand, they want to increase sales and profits. On the other, they want things to be as they are. Anyone for the overused cliché — the definition of insanity.
So, if everything I just wrote is true, what's the solution?
What results are you looking for? If it's to increase volume, dealers should invest in giving their people the skills and tools to increase their delivery totals. If it's to increase profits, building value via more professional selling would offer possibilities. Here's what you'll see in practice:
Web pricing below invoice and then asking salespeople to get customers to pay more.
Constant turnover, help wanted ads and using "free" hiring companies to staff up.
Little to no money spent on training due to turnover.
Sound familiar? In any successful corporation, the greatest investment has always been in the people. Dealers send their technicians to school all the time to remain certified, learn new techniques and stay up with current auto technology. They invest thousands in "special" tools for specific repairs. They proudly display all service certificates for the world to see.
For sales, not so much.
When professional trainers approach the dealer, they are usually told:
It's too busy to train
It's too slow to train
We're all set
I want the new people to get more experience
I don't want to upset my experienced people
My managers handle that
It's not in the budget
It's a waste of money
What each of those are saying, in reality, is that the dealer is working very hard to be average. Cutting-edge is not for them. Leadership, industry standards, career paths are not what they're about. When the market picks up, they don't need training. When it slows down, they can't pay for training, and when the market is steady, they don't want to rock the boat.
As their agent, I want to rock the boat. Let me be the bad guy. What could possibly happen?
Here is the expense of average in a particular dealership that I did training with. The dealer brought me in based on a recommendation. He was skeptical but contracted me anyway. It seems that every staff I've ever worked with, I find a favorite. Maybe other trainers do as well. There were 12 people to be trained and one was a 22-year-old former bartender.
I was in the dealership for a full week. At the end of the week, the young person came to me and asked if I was serious about making six figures. I told him what I've shared for decades. If you do what everyone else does, good and bad, you'll make what they make. If you come in and work every day like you deserve $100,000, treat your customers as extremely valuable people and always invest in getting better, the answer is "yes."
About a year went by and I got a call in my office in early February. It was "the kid." He said, "Mr. Fuhrman, I didn't make $100,000 this year like you said." After a pause, he added, "I made $97,980. But, because of the things you showed me, I know which deals I missed, and had I been at my best, those deals would have put me over."
That was back in 2011. Now, I'm not sharing this to impress you. I want to impress upon you that there were 11 other people in that class. They received the same information, the same advice and the same opportunity. Then they all fit right into the average thinking dealer's average way of work. Luckily, my young student decided for himself not to be average, so he moved on to even greater success.
While I'm proud of that, what would that dealership be like if the dealer, after spending the money, decided he wasn't going to tolerate average anymore? He still contacts me every now and then. He offers to bring me back under the condition that I guarantee him another success like my young bartender.

SmartPak Deluxe High Neck Turnout Blanket is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 353.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Taftap8 from Really wanted to love this blanket I have always purchased rambos, but liked the high neck styling and thought I would try this blanket on my horse after clipping him. Blanket was purchased early Feb 2019 and has been in use maybe 3 weeks, and it is already starting to fall apart! Piping is coming undone in 3 places and lining is starting to seperate underneath. Very glad the other blanket I tried to get on clearance ended up out of stock!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Janna from Lasts forever! My horse has worn this blanket for five winters now, and to be honest... I'm not particularly nice to it. Some years I wash it thoroughly.... Some years I hose it off. Some years it lives in a nice bag in the tap room for the summer... Some years it hangs on the bar outside a pen all summer. It's seriously a tank. The color has faded from being in the sun so much, so now it's navy instead of black. I have had it patched twice, but each time they were smallish tears that didn't perpetuate too far. It washes great and takes rewaterproofing well. When it eventually dies (which doesn't look to be anytime soon) I'm buying another one stat!
Rated 3 out of 5 by Susan from Color different from the photo This looks to be really well made and good quality, but I gave it three stars because of the color difference between the photo of the hunter plaid with navy trim, and the actual color of the product. To be fair, the described color of the sheet is hunter green (which is a dark green and that is the color of the sheet that arrived), but the photo shows a much lighter green, which is really pretty and what caught my eye. It's why I paid the price of $159.95, rather than another sheet around the $80-100 price range. Although I know photos colors vary when looking online, this is a pretty big difference. It shouldn't be that hard to make hunter green look hunter green.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Christine from Great blanket I really like this blanket. My TB x QH mare is a very odd size - she's barely 14.2 hh, is very narrow across her chest and barrel, but measures at 71" front to back. I ordered her a size 69 with the intent to just adjust the straps larger as I did on a 68 sheet from another company (which that fits her great). With the chest adjustment straps made as long as they can and clipping on the first buckle on the chest, the blanket closes but the velcro does not stay closed. however based on how "petite" she is, I think she would be just swimming in a 72. The blanket has so far held up well. It's kept her warm at night when it's gotten down into the 20's, but she hasn't been sweating in it during the day from what I can tell. It's great quality and overall fits her well, she's just an odd size. I do recommend this blanket.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brie from Love this blanket! I love the added protection and warmth the high neck provides, especially for my senior horse who lives outside 24/7 in New England. Well made blanket, his turnout buddies didn't make a mark on it!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jordan from Does double duty -durable & pretty! I purchased this blanket after my gelding managed to rip the lining out of his old one. So far, this blanket has proven held up to the wrath of his busy mouth and still look pristine!
Rated 5 out of 5 by ALD53705 from I'm Never Buying Another Turnout Anywhere Bought this blanket and our horse ended up breaking one of the straps 6 weeks into wearing it. I contacted support and in under a minute they told me a replacement strap was on it's way to me. I've gone through a ton of blankets and broken straps are just part of the deal. I can't imagine every buying another blanket anywhere else again. Outstanding support!
Rated 3 out of 5 by Brenna from Great Fit for Good Price I love this blanket, the 78 fits my "big boned" 15.3hh TB perfectly. I ordered it quickly when a cold front was on the way and it kept my guy warm and comfortable. I just wish I'd bothered to read and noticed that this is the "deluxe" instead of the "ultimate", so it doesn't have the warranty. Great value if you're looking for something inexpensive and have a horse that's gentle on blankets. Unfortunately my guy took less than a full winter to destroy it and my money saving has come back to haunt me as I buy yet another blanket!
Rated 5 out of 5 by whitmermom from Love the neck line Have used for a little over a month on my horse. Love the mid-high neck line as it isn't too high yet covers more than just the shoulders. So far, seems sturdy and durable!

There are countless dermatological conditions that can develop within the skin. They can range from simple changes in skin tone to life-altering scarring stemming from acne outbreaks. The main problem with treating these conditions is that each condition seems to require a different approach. That is why there are so many different treatments available both over-the-counter and from dermatologists.
Intense pulsed light therapy, or IPL treatment, represents one of the more durable methods designed to treat the issues that skin may develop. It can help with everything from acne to lessening the appearance of age-related wrinkles and scars.
IPL utilizes intense beams of light to send energy through the skin to cells that require it. This energy breaks apart undesirable cells, which can range from cells containing excess melanin to uneven formations of collagen cells. Once these cells are affected, the body begins to remove them. New cells are grown to replace the removed cells, which in turn results in rejuvenation.
The beauty of IPL treatment is the fact that it can treat a number of conditions due to the versatile nature of the light used. Depending upon the wavelength of the light and the intensity, differing amounts of light can treat different skin conditions.
Effectively treating pigment-related issues – IPL treats cells in a broad manner. This allows undesirable cells to be removed, which in turn makes it perfect for treating pigment-related issues, which include rosacea, hyperpigmentation and age spots.
Correcting deeper issues – Depending upon the IPL treatment setup, issues that exist deeper in the skin can be treated. This means that everything from scarring to collagen-related issues, which includes wrinkles and fine lines, can be treated.
Healthy cells don't get affected – The selective nature of IPL treatments allows healthy, desirable cells to remain unscathed after treatments. This keeps your beautiful cells safe from harm, which is something treatments like chemical peels cannot offer.
Activating nutrient absorption – The rejuvenation that occurs with IPL therapy helps to trigger cells so that they are more capable of absorbing nutrients. This can increase the effectiveness of nutrient applications, which in turn can help skin appear more radiant.
No need for surgery – One of the biggest benefits of IPL treatment is that fact that it does not require surgery. This means less recovery is needed to see stellar improvements.
Reducing bacteria and other contaminants – IPL treatment can target bacteria, dead skin cells and dirt. This can effectively kill biological invaders while removing undesirable contaminants from the skin.
While IPL treatments can provide amazing results for the right patients, they may not be ideal for everyone. This is why it is important to schedule a consultation with our experts at Grossman Dermatology. Our team of medical professionals will be happy to answer any questions, and to diagnose your unique dermatological needs. We have locations in Santa Monica and New York City. Contact us today to book your appointment.

Consumer Rights and Consumer Laws in Ireland-An Overview
Consumer rights have been beefed up considerably in the last 20 years with an increasing awareness of consumers of consumer laws and the increasing use of the internet for purchasing many products.
You don't have to put up with shabby treatment when you are a consumer.
This change in consumer behaviour has been reflected in new European consumer laws which have strengthened consumer legislation such as the Sale of Goods and Supply of services acts.
Consumer rights have traditionally been grounded in this legislation but Europe has brought in much consumer law which can also provide relief for the consumer who feels ripped off.
Consumer awareness has grown considerably in terms of consumer laws and rights but the raft of European consumer laws has made it a difficult task to understand precisely where you stand, particularly since your consumer rights vary whether you are purchasing online or off line in a traditional shop or store.
Consumer complaints have increased greatly with an increasing consumer awareness and the proliferation of consumer groups and in Ireland the Consumer Association is a good source of information if you think your consumer rights have been ignored.
Consumer rights in relation to online purchasing can be stronger than their offline rights on some occasions. And consumer behaviour has trended towards an increasing use of the internet for their purchasing needs.
For example the 7 day cooling off period that a consumer has under EU law which allows the consumer to return goods in some situations…even where the goods are perfect.
Consumer awareness is important to ensure that their consumer rights are not trampled on and it can be difficult to know what your rights are with the huge proliferation of consumer law.
The Consumer Protection Act 2007(CPA) established the National Consumer Agency (NCA) and updated much existing consumer legislation.
It also introduced EU legislation into Irish law including one on Unfair Commercial Practices. The NCA has extensive powers to protect consumers and enforce relevant consumer law.
It refers cases to the DPP where appropriate and investigates suspected offences where there are consumer complaints and is a good source of consumer advice.
The Consumer Protection Act 2007 deals with commercial practices and sect. 41 states that 'a trader shall not engage in an unfair commercial practice'.
The National Consumer Agency state that commercial practice is unfair when breach of good faith occurs and the average consumer is denied the reasonable standard of skill and care to which he is entitled. Under the CPA 2007 and the Unfair Commercial Practices directive there are 3 kinds of unfair commercial practices
1. Misleading practices (provision of false information which would be likely to lead to the consumer making a decision he would not otherwise make) This would include misleading information about the nature of the product, price, servicing, replacement, legal rights of the consumer)
2. Aggressive practices (harassment/coercion of the consumer causing them to make a decision they would not otherwise make
3. Prohibited practices (this is a 'black list' and includes claims of trader that he is a member of a particular body when he is not, claims that he is about to cease trading, claiming that a product can cure an illness when it can not or that a product is only available for a limited time when it is untrue)
A trader found guilty of these offences can face stiff penalties.
Enforcement and penalties
The National Consumer Agency (NCA) has extensive powers to prosecute traders.
The consumer can also bring a civil action for damages.
Sale of goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 (SGSSA)
The protection afforded by the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act, 1980 for the consumer really comes from the implied terms it inserts into every contract where the sale of goods occurs to a consumer.
Implied Terms
These implied terms are (section 10 Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980)
The seller's right to transfer ownership (if goods sold turn out to be stolen the buyer would be entitled to a refund)
The goods shall correspond with their description
The goods shall be of merchantable quality except where defects were brought to the buyer's attention or defects should have been noticed on examination before the contract was made.'Merchantable quality' are essentially goods which are fit for the purpose intended.
Fitness for purpose
There is an implied term that the goods are reasonably fit for that purpose, whether or not that is a purpose for which such goods are commonly supplied except where the circumstances show that the consumer does not rely on the seller's skill or judgment.
Sale by Sample
Where the contract is one by sample provided to the consumer then there is an implied term from SGSSA 1980 that the bulk will correspond with the sample in quality.
Exclusion clauses
In a contract for sale of goods, any term excluding the implied terms will be void where the buyer acts as a consumer.
Where the buyer is not acting as consumer then there can only be an exclusion where it is fair and reasonable.
Supply of services
The Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act, 1980 implied terms are
The supplier has the necessary skill to supply the service
He will provide the service with skill and diligence
Materials used will be sound and reasonably fit for their purpose
Where goods are supplied under the contract they will be of merchantable quality
Exclusion/variation
Where the recipient is a consumer the implied terms can only be excluded where it is fair and reasonable to do so and only if the exclusion is brought to the attention of the consumer.
Where the recipient is not a consumer then the exclusion clause can be used by a course of dealing between the parties or by usage.
European Communities (Misleading Advertising) Regulations,1988
These regulations give any person or the Director of the National Consumer Agency the power to request any person engaged in misleading advertising to discontinue.
Any person may apply to High Court for an order prohibiting the publication and that person need not prove actual loss or damage or recklessness or negligence on the advertiser's behalf.
Read European Communities (Misleading Advertising) Regulations, 1988.
European Communities (Cancellation of Contracts Negotiated Away From Business Premises) Regulations, 1989
These regulations apply where contracts are negotiated away from business premises.
The consumer must be given a 7 day cooling off period within which he may withdraw without penalty.
The consumer must be given a statutory cancellation notice and cancellation form at the point of sale or the contract will not be enforceable against him.
See S.I. No. 224/1989 – European Communities (Cancellation of Contracts Negotiated Away From Business Premises) Regulations, 1989.
Liability for Defective Products Act, 1991
This act imposes strict liability on the producer for damage caused by a defect in the product.
The consumer does not need to show negligence or fault on the producer's part.
A producer in this context includes manufacturers, importers and suppliers.
'Damage' is death or personal injury of loss of or damage to any property other than the defective product itself.
'Defective Product' is a product which fails to provide the safety which a person is entitled to expect.
The user must prove the damage, the defect and the causal relationship between the defect and the damage.
Liability for Defective Products Act, 1991.
1) Producer did not put it into circulation
2) Defect did not exist when put into circulation
3) State of knowledge at the time made it impossible to know about the defect
An action may not be brought after 3 years from when the consumer knew of the damage, defect and identity of the producer.
Prohibition on exclusion clauses
A producer can not contract out of his liability under this act.
European Communities (Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts) Regulations 1995 and 2000
The aim of these regulations is to protect consumers where the terms have not been individually negotiated and are unfair.
They do not apply to
Contracts relating to Succession rights and rights under family law
Core terms of the contract are excluded(they must have been drafted in plain language)
The directive itself lists a non exhaustive list of terms which may be regarded as unfair.
An unfair term will not be binding on the consumer but the contract itself will continue to bind the parties if it is capable of continuing without the unfair term.
The NCA can enforce these regulations as well as the consumer.
S.I. No. 27/1995 – European Communities (Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts) Regulations, 1995
Consumer Credit Act, 1995
This act applies to all credit agreements to which a consumer is a party.
Any ad must contain a clear and prominent statement of the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) and consumer credit arranagements must contain
A statement of any security which may be required
A clear indication of any restrictions on the availability of credit
Details of any additional charges
A company may not send any document to a minor inviting him to borrow credit.
Credit providers can not seek to exclude the consumer's rights.
Consumer Credit Act, 1995.
Package Holiday and Travel Trade Act, 1995
This act imposes direct liability on the organiser of a holiday for the non-performance of improper performance of the obligations under the holiday contract regardless of whether they are to be performed by the organiser or another party.
An organiser is a person who organises packages and sells them to the public.
Holiday brochure
An organiser must not make available to the public a brochure unless it indicates legibly and comprehensibly and accurately the price and all the details about meals, transport, type of accommodation etc.
Both the organiser and retailer can be held liable to compensate a consumer for any damage resulting from false and misleading information in the brochure.
There is a duty on the organiser, before a contract is made, to provide intending consumers with information in writing about all essential matters to do with the package.
There is a further duty on the organiser before the package starts to provide further information about the holiday and where an organiser fails to do so he will be guilty of an offence.
Form of the contract
The organiser must supply the consumer with a written copy of the terms of the contract.
Alterations and cancellations
The consumer is allowed to withdraw from the contract where the organiser is compelled to change an essential term of the contract such as the price.
Where this occurs the consumer may obtain a full refund or take a replacement package of equivalent or superior quality.
Problems after start of package
Where a significant portion of the services contracted for is not provided there is an implied term that the organiser must make suitable alternative arrangements at no extra cost.
Limitation clauses
An organiser can not contract out of his obligations to the consumer but he can limit his liability to not less than twice the cost of the package holiday where he has inserted this term in to the contract.
The Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts 1995 can provide additional protection to the holidaymaker.
Package Holidays and Travel Trade Act, 1995
European Communities (Certain Aspects of the Sale of Consumer Goods and Associated Guarantees) Regulations 2003
The principle behind this is that consumers from one jurisdiction should be able to purchase goods in another European jurisdiction based on uniform and minimum set of fair rules governing their sale.
These regulations entitle the consumer to have the defective product replaced, repaired or be refunded.
S.I. No. 199/2004 – European Communities (General Product Safety) Regulations 2004
These regulations demand that consumer products placed on the market are safe and oblige producers to place only safe products on the market.
The NCA has the power to enforce them.These regulations do not apply to second hand products or products to be repaired or reconditioned.
A consumer has significant protection thanks to our historical statutory protection but this has been enormously enhanced in the last few years thanks to EU law. You might also be interested in..

Varicose veins are veins where different conditions have changed the circulation and appearance of the veins. People with varicose veins can experience pain and discomfort as well as changes in the appearance of the skin areas. Varicose veins are generally found in the lower body, because walking and standing put more pressure on the veins in the legs and feet. Pressure on veins causes "wear and tear" over time, and with age and other factors, people can develop different varicose vein conditions that can be unpleasant.
Reticular veins are a kind of varicose vein under the skin. In many cases, reticular veins are hereditary. People with reticular veins have veins that are enlarged because of pressure over time. This can lead to discoloration of surface veins, which health care professionals often call "spider veins" due to their web like appearance on the skin surface area.
Doctors often use different procedures to treat reticular veins. In one kind of treatment called sclerotherapy, the reticular veins get injected with a solution that changes or restricts their operation. In a different procedure called miniphlebectomy, doctors use needles to close or collapse veins.
Though reticular veins tend to be inherited, individuals can lower their general risk for varicose veins and circulatory problems by engaging in regular exercise and by avoiding sitting or standing in static positions for long periods of time. Though varicose veins are generally a cosmetic problem, there are treatments available to take care of these sometimes unsightly veins.

Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness in the U.S., affects between 3 and 4 million Americans. This includes an estimated 1.5 to 2 million people who do not even know that they have glaucoma. The disease is caused by a build-up of fluid in the eye as a result of it not draining properly. This increase in pressure can damage the optic nerve and cause vision to fade. It most often occurs in people over age 40. If you are African American, have a family history of glaucoma, are very nearsighted or diabetic, you are at higher risk of developing the disease. The most common type of glaucoma develops gradually and painlessly, often without symptoms for a long time.
While glaucoma is not preventable or curable, it can be slowed. The earlier glaucoma is detected, the less damage it can cause and the longer you will have your vision.
A cataract is a clouding of all or part of the normally clear lens within your eye. More than 20.5 million Americans over age forty are affected with this disease. This clouding results in blurred or distorted vision. Cataracts are usually found in people over age 55, but occasionally younger people can get them.
A cataract does not need to be removed unless your vision loss interferes with everyday activities, such as driving, reading, or watching TV. You and your eye care professional can make that decision together. When cataracts are small, you can often improve your vision by using different eyeglasses, magnifying lenses, or stronger lighting. If the condition does not improve, surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a substitute lens is the only effective treatment.
Successful laser surgery may prevent central vision loss from becoming worse, even though normal vision may not be restored. Another option is prescribed low vision devices such as telescopic and microscopic lenses that make the most out of remaining vision.
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes and a leading cause of blindness. It occurs when diabetes damages the tiny blood vessels inside the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. If you've already been diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy, find out more about treatments and how to protect your vision, call the Great River Eye Clinic for an appointment immediately. If you have already lost some sight from diabetic retinopathy, find out more about of how to make the most of your vision.
We have only mentioned some of the most common eye diseases. These and others can often be found early by an eye care specialist. That is why the Vision Council of America recommends regular comprehensive eye exams for good eye health.

Mass Relevance closes on $3.3 million in venture financing
May 16, 2012 by lalorek Leave a Comment
Mass Relevance announced Wednesday that it has closed a $3.3 million venture capital funding round.
Austin Ventures led the series A round and other investors included Battery Ventures, Floodgate Fund, Allegro Venture Patners and Metamorphic Ventures.
Mass Relevance plans to use the money to accelerate its growth. Sam Decker, the company's founder and CEO, said the company planned to triple in size this year in an interview with Silicon Hills News late last year.
Mass Relevance has 120 clients that use its real-time social media curation platform. It also signed a deal with Twitter last November that officially made Mass Relevance Twitter's first curation partner licensed to re-syndicate Twitter content.
"The financing comes as leading brands, ranging from Madonna and MTV through Target and Purina, turn to Mass Relevance to use real-time social content to drive engagement on television, web and mobile," according to the company. Its clients include the "Big Four" television networks, 7 of the top 10 2011 cable networks, as well as top brands like Target, Cisco, Ford, Samsung, New York Giants, Pepsi, Purell and Victoria's Secret.
"People around the world are actively participating in social conversations about brands, media and entertainment, and this content is passing us by faster than ever before," Decker said in a news statement.
A year ago, Mass Relevance raised $2.2 million in a large seed stage round of funding from Austin Ventures, Floodgate and angel investors.

Over the years, I have received resounding feedback for the time and effort I pour into my work. Feel free to take a moment and see what others think of my work and ethic.
"Tony's Universality", 48" x 48"
I'll never forget the feeling I had when I received my hand-painted album cover from Ryan.... Wow.... I was speechless. The abstract idea that was floating around in my head was sitting right in front of me. Not only did he hit the nail on the head but he exceeded my expectations. I now have 5 of his works hanging up around the house and they bring a smile to everyone's face, I love telling people about them. I treat these paintings like a baby every time I move them. Their worthy of being in a gallery but they're hanging on my walls. That's the special feeling this man has been consistently dishing out for years. Love watching you grow man! Don't ever stop.
If you have ever considered purchasing a commissioned piece of work, or would like to add to your collection, then stop putting it off! This is the guy for the job! He has such an amazing talent, a great eye for art, and a unique style! He created an epic remake of my favorite photo of my dog (Hendrix Haze) and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Thanks again, Ryan!
"Hendrix Haze", 18" x 24"
Working with Ryan is amazing. We were in contact constantly to make sure that the paintings were going in a direction that I like. I didn't know how special one of them was going to end up being, but his portrait totally captures the personality of Lazlo, and each time I see it, my heart smiles. Looking forward to working together again very soon!


Avengers: Infinity War will be the clear winner at the box office this weekend, and its second weekend haul may set a new record for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There was no question the epic crossover would be one of 2018's biggest films, but somehow, Infinity War managed to exceed commercial expectations. During its first three days, Infinity War earned a whopping $257.6 million, capitalizing on the intense hype and positive word-of-mouth to become a bona fide cinematic event. It keeps setting new all-time records in the early part of its run, so many are curious to see just how high the film will go.
This month sees the arrivals of two anticipated tentpoles in the form of Deadpool 2 and Solo: A Star Wars Story, but Infinity War still has a two-week cushion before it has to deal with its high-profile competition. With only a handful of niche offerings brave enough to stand in their path, Earth's Mightiest has a golden opportunity to pad their totals. Unsurprisingly, Infinity War should end up with one of the biggest second weekends ever.
Per Box Office Pro, the latest Avengers film is projected to earn $111 million this weekend, though they note the haul could be as large as $128 million. The low end of those estimates would be enough to tie Black Panther's second weekend ($111.6 million), which was the second-largest in history. However, it does not appear Infinity War will top The Force Awakens' second weekend haul of $149.2 million. Of course, some believed the all-time opening weekend record was safe from Thanos' wrath, so it's plausible Infinity War continues to surpass the projections.
At its current tracking, Infinity War is expected to be up to at least $444.6 million in the U.S. by the end of the weekend. This would have it approaching the #15 position on the all-time domestic charts (The Dark Knight Rises; $448.1 million) after just 10 days in theaters. Of course, Infinity War is just going to move higher on that list as time goes on, possibly passing the $689.2 million posted so far by Black Panther. It'll be interesting to see if it can unseat Avatar ($760.5 million) from second place, considering both Deadpool 2 and Solo will be taking away screens and appealing to similar demographics. Today, it was revealed Solo may set its own records over the Memorial Day frame, so Infinity War may not become the biggest movie in history by virtue of its release date. Avatar and The Force Awakens debuted in December and then feasted on a weak crop of January challengers.
The other films this weekend are left fighting for scraps, so there are some possibilities for counter-programming successes. Chief among those look to be the Overboard remake, which is estimated to bring in $14 million over its first three days. It looks like a solid option for the date night crowd looking for a reprieve from tentpole fare. This week's other notable wide release, Jason Reitman's Tully is only projected for $3.9 million despite largely positive reviews that praise Charlize Theron's performance as an overwhelmed mother.
