'Digital dividend' productivity boost for UK's micro firms
The FINANCIAL -- The largest ever study of so-called micro-businesses – those employing between one and 9 staff – conducted by the Enterprise Research Centre is the first to put hard numbers on the effect digital adoption can have on productivity for the smallest firms.
The findings are significant because the 1.1m such companies, employing more than 4m people, have traditionally been seen as a drag on national productivity. ERC academics say the research could have far-reaching consequences for how policymakers and business support groups communicate the benefits of tech adoption to start-ups and established firms alike, according to Aston University.
Doubling uptake of the five key digital technologies could see the Gross Value-Added (GVA) per worker of micro-businesses grow by £16.6bn, the researchers add.
Studying over 6,000 micro-businesses employing an average of four people and with a median turnover of £250,000, the research found that, after controlling for factors like sector, geographical location and firm age:
Use of cloud-based computing leads to an increase of 13.5% in sales per employee (a proxy for productivity) after three or more years;
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software use adds 18.4% to sales per employee over three years;
E-commerce adds 7.5% to sales per employee over three years;
Web-based accounting software leads to an increase in sales per employee of 11.8% over three years; and,
Computer aided design (CAD) leads to a 7.1% increase in sales per employee.
Use of digital technologies has grown rapidly among UK micro-businesses in recent years, with firms using cloud computing growing from 9% in 2012 to 43% in 2018, and web-based accounting software growing from 15% to 42% over the same period.
Notably, however, the study found that around a quarter of UK micro-businesses currently make no use of digital technologies at all, while a further quarter use only one, according to Aston University.
The study also found that being a home-based business was linked to having a turnover-per-employee around 21% higher, although this could simply reflect higher-value service firms being more likely to be home-based.
Conversely, family firms where the founder was still in charge were found to be 10% less productive than those where the founder had stepped aside, possibly due to founders being less open to change over the long term.
Around 60% of micro-businesses are family owned and managed and most regard freedom and flexibility as their key motivations. Most have no ambition to scale: 74% of respondents aim to 'keep their business similar to how it operates now', with a more ambitious minority of 22% aiming to build a 'national or international business', with this figure rising to 36% for London firms, according to Aston University.
There is significant regional variation across the UK when it comes to innovation and exporting – two factors associated with higher productivity. In London, 47% of micro-businesses are exporters, compared to just 27% in the East Midlands (average = 33%). On innovation, the West Midlands is the strongest region, with 13% of firms there introducing new products or services, compared to fewer than 8% in Northern Ireland (average = 10.6%).
In 2017, there were 1.11m micro-businesses in the UK, employing around 4.09m people (17.6% of the private sector workforce) and generating £552bn in sales (14.7% of that by all UK firms).

Notre Dame mandates virus testing after football celebration

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — University of Notre Dame students are now subject to mandatory coronavirus testing with stricter penalties if they leave town before getting their test results after thousands of fans stormed the football field and threw parties to celebrate a double-overtime upset over Clemson.
Notre Dame President, the Rev. John Jenkins, said in an email Sunday that students must undergo coronavirus testing before leaving South Bend, Indiana, for the winter break.
Jenkins says if a student is exposed or tests positive, they must quarantine on campus for two weeks. Students who don't complete the test can't register for classes.
According to the Associated Press, students will face "severe sanctions" if they host a large gathering.
As of Monday afternoon, the university's online COVID-19 dashboard showed six new cases reported on Sunday, giving the school 1,382 total positive cases among students and staff members. Of that total, the school estimated 221 active cases.
In a resolution passed Thursday, Notre Dame's Faculty Senate formally expressed disappointment in Jenkins for failing to wear a mask at Amy Coney Barrett's nomination ceremony at the White House Rose Garden, the AP reported. Jenkins tested positive for COVID-19 in October.


It's still kind of weird, isn't it? Some of the best players in the NBA may be switching teams this summer, and the Philadelphia 76ers are mentioned in connection with basically every single one of them. And not just by pipe-dreaming fans still wondering why we didn't get into the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes seven years ago: Even the NBA's wisest eggheads agree that the Sixers are among the top contenders to land the likes of LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George through free agency or trade this offseason.
For a team that's only had the assets, cap space, marketability and projectable potential to land already-busted veterans like Elton Brand and Andrew Bynum over the past decade, it's pretty wild to actually be in play for the NBA's most legit prizes. (Kevin Durant and Chris Paul are also technically out there, but are mostly assumed to be returning to their current teams.) But as fun as it is, it's far from a guarantee that it's actually gonna end with us actually getting one of these guys. The Sixers may be in the mix for all of them, but they're not necessarily favorites for any of them. It's entirely possible, maybe even likely, that we end up with none of them. And faced with that possibility, I gotta say... cool.
It's exceedingly difficult to process the closing stretch of the Sixers' 2017-'18 season. They went from being a fun young team starting to turn the corner, to a legitimate contender for the NBA finals, to an underachieving disappointment -- all in less than two months' time, thanks to a stunning 16-game winning streak to end the regular season, and the ensuing whiplash of a five-game second-round loss to the undermanned Boston Celtics. That eight-week span so jumbled our perception of the Sixers' timeline that it's pretty hard to see where the team is actually at going into this summer.
And where is that? Well, ahead of schedule, certainly -- you could've sold Brett Brown a bridge before you sold him 52 wins and the second round before last season -- but maybe not that far ahead. The Sixers are a very loaded team with much still on their side: youth, upside, trade assets, cap space, and (one very public and very strange scandal excepted) organizational stability. But are they in a spot where they should be compelled to do what it takes this summer to plausibly compete for a title next season? For the Eastern Conference? I don't see either as a must.
Which is not to suggest, by any means, that the Sixers would be somehow remiss or negligent in pursuing these guys as expected. It's just to say that the Sixers have a pretty good thing going right now already: Two star players under 25 who project to be top 15 guys in the league next year, a three-and-D glue guy signed on a reasonable deal through essentially the remainder of his prime, an extremely heady and versatile forward with two years left on his rookie deal, and a former No. 1 overall pick who's a rediscovered jumper away from being the missing piece to practically all of it. And then there's the goodies Brett Brown picked up at the draft: a long-term two way wing prospect as exciting as nearly anyone in the draft, and an unprotected 2021 first that's as valuable as any pick that's changed hands in the league since... well, the one the Sixers themselves gave up last summer.
Is that player-and-asset core guaranteed to one day congeal into a perennial contender? Absolutely not: There are concerns of fit, of health, of unrealized potential, all of which are very real. But one thing they don't really need to be overly concerned about is time. Their valuable assets will stay valuable in the years to come -- and while injury risks, pay raises and general Sixers Weirdness may end up biting into that, it's also entirely possible that further blossoming will make players like Markelle Fultz and Zhaire Smith more valuable in future summers than they are currently as relatively unknown quantities. You're never on totally secure long-term footing in the NBA, but the Sixers right now are about as close as a team can reasonably hope to get.
And I still kinda wanna see how it pans out with these dudes. Adding Paul George to the mix would be exciting, and obviously LeBron is LeBron, but I'm worried about what happens if George stays in OKC and LeBron decides to go to the Lakers. Then do we end up desperately outbidding the Lakers for Kawhi Leonard? Reports have (or at least suggest) the Sixers surrendering most, if not all, of their non-Simmons/Embiid assets for Leonard: Fultz, Smith, the 2021 Miami pick, Robert Covinton and Dario Saric. That's basically the team's entire safety net for the future, for just one player.
And if that player is 2016-'17 Kawhi Leonard, and we get him for the next five years? Eminently justifiable. Of all the items in the aforementioned Sixers bag of tradeable goodies, one thing not included is a proven MVP-caliber star, as Leonard is at full-strength. A team with him, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons as a core should be able to compete with anyone healthy, and is worth nearly whatever the price tag ends up being.
But there's the hitch, or at least half of it: Leonard played just nine games last year. After a quad injury kept him out for much of the season, squabbles over his recovery and timetable for return led to him ultimately being ruled out for the season's remainder, and may have permanently soured his relationship with the San Antonio Spurs. It's possible Kawhi's late-season absence was more about lost trust and protection of personal interests than any chronic ailments, but the Sixers won't be able to know for sure until he takes the floor next season.
Compounding the concerns there is that next season might be all they'd be able to get with Kawhi. The two-way star appears to be attempting to leverage having just one year left on his currently contract into the Spurs having no choice but to trade him to his current team of choice, the Los Angeles Lakers: Trade for Leonard, and you'll only get him for a year before he heads to L.A. anyway, his people seem to be putting out in the world.
That could very well be empty bluster, and a year playing with two young, complementary, spotlight-splitting stars for a coach players love (and who he has a pre-existing relationship with already) might change his mind anyway. But to trade up to four or five high-level assets for a player who says he's gonna leave first chance he gets, simply in the hopes that he's bluffing -- and whose health might already be compromised anyway -- gotta say, it just doesn't seem like the kind of risk that smart teams take.
Now, as Godner and other NBA sages would undoubtedly point out, there's risk in letting an opportunity to land a player like Leonard slip away. Dudes like him don't come on the open market terribly often, and to pass on dealing for him now might ultimately be losing the only chance to add a player of his fit and caliber to an Embiid/Simmons core that we get in the next three-to-five years. And the counter-example here would be Oklahoma City's trade for Paul George last summer with just a year remaining on his deal, in the hopes that a season in OKC would ultimately persuade him to sign longterm: a gambit still without resolution thusfar, but with George clearly wanting to explore his options.
A couple things to remember there, however. First, players like Kawhi don't become available often, true, but at least one should next summer as well: Kawhi, again. Assuming he doesn't sign an extension with the Spurs (a possibility looking more remote by the day), he'll be an unrestricted free agent a year from now, and the Sixers can in theory attempt to pitch him then at no cost. Fellow UFA Klay Thompson could also become a target that offseason, or whatever other disgruntled star wants to force his way from his current team -- an increasingly common occurrence in this star-driven league.
In any event, that's not where the Sixers are currently: They don't have to do anything. They can try to land a big fish in free agency or trade. They can bide their time for a better-fitting, more-available star to come on the open market in years to come. Or they can focus on developing the formidable core they already have, and use their cap space to fill in the margins around them. None of those paths is guaranteed to be the right one, but none of them are particularly undesirable, either.
This is probably a lot of focus to place on the possibility of a Kawhi Leonard trade when it would probably only be the Sixers' third-most preferred outcome this summer. But it does seem to be the most likely one at the moment: LeBron and George seem largely motivated by factors beyond basketball fit and potential, while the latter is really the best thing the Sixers have to offer them. (Kawhi does too, but the choice isn't entirely his to make yet.) And if we try our damnedest to land Kawhi and the Spurs either hold onto him, grant him his Lakers wish or (lord forbid) deal him to Boston instead? What then? Do we double down on the next-best trade target or free agent, just so we don't have to face the humiliation of going to bat for the three best players currently available and coming away completely empty-handed? Does this end with us overextending ourselves to sign DeMarcus Cousins, or trading a Kawhi-like package to Toronto for DeMar DeRozan?
Again, there's nothing wrong with the Sixers going star hunting, as Brett Brown promised to on draft night. If they believe they can get LeBron James or Paul George to sign on the line that is dotted, it absolutely makes sense for them to go after them as hard as possible this summer. And if they can get Kawhi Leonard for a price in keeping with both his elite talent and the fact that he's an injury risk with just a single year remaining on his contract, they should certainly pull the trigger on that too. Hell, they could zero in on a restricted free agent they think fits an on-court need -- do-everything Magic forward Aaron Gordon, perhaps, or bruising Lakers big Julius Randle -- and tender them an offer sheet that gets their current team thinking long and hard about whether or not to match. Those are all great options.
My only point is that they're not the only options -- not even the only good options. Going into next year with a core of Embiid, Simmons, Saric, Covington and Fultz, supported by McConnell, Smith, a shooter (Redick again?) and our current bench phalanx of unproven late first-rounders -- that's a good option. Maybe not good enough for the Sixers to contend for a championship next season, maybe not even good enough for them to keep pace with Boston, but one that keeps the door wide open for us to do so in a year or two's time, or whenever the team is ready.
And speaking of the Celtics: Remember that the C's themselves balked on any number of rumored trades for star-type players (including George himself) before signing Gordon Hayward in free agency last summer, then finding a deal they liked for Kyrie Irving shortly after that didn't cost them any of their young high-upside players. Now, they have a trio of established All-Stars in Hayward, Irving and Al Horford, as well as a trio of blue-chippers coming up behind them in Jaylen Brown, Terry Rozier and Jayson Tatum, and they're set to basically contend forever. That's not a team outpaced by taking shortcuts, and the Sixers would be wise to extend their view to as long and wide as possible -- as our venerated coach/GM did with the Mikal Bridges trade on draft night -- to keep from getting totally lapped by them.
This offseason could be a pivotal one for the Sixers, but summer is never the season to rush anything. If Brett Brown & Co. survey the situation and decide the best move is to not even bother getting off the hammock, Sixers fans should be prepared to accept that as a reasonable outcome. Can't say Brett wouldn't have earned himself the lazy summer, certainly.

There are several reasons that it may be advantageous to use an event planner for your company function, this includes their experience and less stress on your staff. Event planners will be charged with ensuring that your event is a success and that the message is well received. It is the job of these companies to handle all aspects of an event such as hotel accommodations, food menus, contacting speakers, and organizing entertainment. The information below provides some details on the benefits of having an event planner handle your functions.
When using corporate event planners, it can be cost effective, because they are aware of supplier pricing. In addition, most event planners have a list of vendors and suppliers they normally work with and have better purchasing power. This means that the prices they are quoted may be significantly lower from those your company would receive. There also may be items that your company is not familiar with, because they aren't as experienced with planning events, but the event planner can present them to you and offer cost effective advice. For instance, they may suggest a caterer for an event that may be a better option than the one you desire.
The purpose of an event planner is to take some of the time and stress off of your company that it would take to put on an event. Therefore, an event planner is charged with taking care of the logistics. Typically, the only things you have to worry about when you hand over your company function to an event planner, is providing the final approval. For instance, once the event planner has finalized the budget for your function, you will have to approve the totals before they can move forward.
The venue you choose for your company function, should coincide with the demands of the event. This means that there should not only be enough room, but the location should also have the right equipment. So if you require meeting rooms with podiums, overhead projectors, and a kitchen, the event planner should be able to manage these options for your company. However, for event planners to complete their job correctly, they may need some information about the event, such as the number of people, the type of event and if your guests are local or coming in from out of town. If you are unsure of all the services you would require, it may be advantageous to speak with a corporate event planner to see if they could accommodate the needs of your company.

Hey guys. Can you believe Christmas is next week already?! I have been loving getting ready for the holiday, but I am super excited to actually road trip it back home to WI to enjoy it with my family. Because Christmas is so close, I have my last HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE. My daughter's. For those of you who do not have a daughter, this is perfect for any young girl you may have in your life; niece, cousin, family friend!
Some of these are actually on my daughter's Santa list (the Rock N Royal Barbies and the Roller Skates), but some are just pieces I do want to get her or just options for all of you. I've wanted to get a pretty chandelier in her room since we moved in, and I really love this one from Pottery Barn. It is very vintage looking which matches my daughter's bedroom theme perfectly. Also, we see the Instax Minis everywhere, right? My daughter is always taking my phone to snap pics so I know she'd have a blast with this. The film might be gone in a minute, but that's okay with me. Anything to help bring out her creative side. I hope this Holiday Gift Guide helps you out. Let me know what that little Princess in your life would love this Christmas.
I am linking my HUSBAND and WIFEY GIFT GUIDE here in case y'all missed those and still need some last minute help. Stay tuned for more Christmas posts this week. XO.


UPDATE: Gov. Brown was unable to speak to the California Democratic Party convention because he was home recuperating from surgery to remove a basal cell carcinoma from his nose. Calbuzz wishes him a speedy recovery.
When Gov. Jerry Brown speaks to the California Democratic Party at their convention this weekend in Sacramento, it's time for Krusty to lay out to his fellow Democrats just how he intends to lead the state out of its budget impasse and what role liberals, labor unions, environmentalists, minorities, women and civil rights advocates must play in the process.
Brown didn't have to run for governor again. He could have kept his job as Attorney General for two terms and remained on the sidelines. Instead, he decided he had the experience and the know-how to bring Californians together to solve the intractable partisanship that has ground government to a halt in Sacramento.
Polls – from the Los Angeles Times/USC and from the Public Policy Institute of California – find that most California voters agree there ought to be an election to determine if temporary increases in sales and income taxes and vehicle license fees ought to be continued for five years to prevent further cutbacks. But getting two lousy votes in the Assembly and the Senate from the Republicans has proved a non-starter.
What worries California voters – and especially parents of public school children – is that cutting the budget further will hurt public schools, the PPIC poll demonstrates. Nine in 10 public school parents are concerned – 66% of them very concerned – that the state budget standoff will lead to significant cuts in K-12 education.
Three-fourths of those parents say the quality of schools will suffer if cuts are made.
Of course, California voters – including those public school parents – want someone else to pay for keep schools afloat: 62% of likely voters say they'd support increasing income taxes on the rich while nearly every other tax proposal bites the dust.
Meanwhile, Brown has an opportunity in his speech on Sunday to explain to his own people that despite the nasty cutbacks they've already allowed, they're going to have to do more, on public employee pensions and budget controls to win public support.
We'd like to believe that if Democrats lined up behind those ideas for real, that the Republicans would met them half way. But as we've argued before, there is no evidence that Republican legislators have any interest in compromise, which many of them view as capitulation. They're like birthers run amok: show 'em a birth certificate and they want to see report cards. Brown has to accept the sad truth that until their constituents start applying pressure, no Republican is going to seek common ground on the state budget.
So, Jerry, tell the Democrats what they have to do. If you have a clue.
In the meantime, take a look into the future for public schools through the eyes of Calbuzz cartoonist extraordinaire Tom Meyer.
Public opinion polling can reliably tell us about voters' views on just about anything, but public opinion itself is only as informative as it is informed.
So when 75% of California voters say they're following the Great Budget Debate but only 16% are aware that state spending has declined by billions in the last three years, you'd be well advised to take voters' opinions with a big honkin' chunk of salt.
It makes sense that six in 10 voters in the latest LA Times/USC survey – including (knuckledragger alert) 51% of Republicans and conservatives – agree with Gov. Jerry Brown that there ought to be a special election to decide whether to renew increases in income and sales taxes and vehicle license fees.
That view is statewide – from a low of 55% in the Central Valley and 56% in Southern California outside of LA, to 63% on the Central Coast to 70% in the Bay Area. What we don't know – and this is something tightwad Gov. Brown ought to pay his pollsters to find out – is how voters in swing legislative districts (where Republicans need independent and some Democratic votes) view the issue.
Despite their relative ignorance, only one in four voters – and just four in 10 Republicans and conservatives — say the budget should be balanced with cuts alone. Most people think there ought to be a combination of cuts and taxes – as Gov. Brown has proposed.
But the Democrats ought not get too smug about all this, because the same voters who have no idea how much California spends or whether that amount has gone up or down in the past few years also believe state spending should be capped at the rate of inflation while public employee pensions should be reduced or otherwise limited as a drag on state spending.
It doesn't really matter — as public employee pension advocates argue – that these costs are NOT the source of California budget woes, that most of those pensions are modest (although some are certainly not) or that public employees, in the main, are no better off than workers in the private sector.
What Brown and his Democratic allies have to worry about is the perception that has already been created that leads about seven in 10 California voters to believe there ought to be a cap on the pensions of future and current public employees.
At best, that's a perception problem the public employee unions and their allies cannot escape. At worst, it's a hard opinion that cannot be simply ignored. Still, 45% of voters believe the salaries and benefits most public employees receive are about right or too low compared to 43% who say they're too high. It's a split decision on which teachers, firefighters, cops, park rangers and others can base a public education campaign.
But they're going to have to show some shared sacrifice, too, especially the prison guard and the teachers unions. Their Democratic patrons/supplicants in the Legislature do them no favors taking a hard line against any and all attempts to rein in the real and perceived clout of these major-donor allies.
Voters don't want to hear Jerry Brown whine about how hard he tried to exact concessions from the prison guards. Whah, whah, whah. Who cares? At this stage of his life, whining is unbecoming.
More on knucklehead voters: A detailed, lucid and insightful takeout on the implications of ignorance among broad swaths of the California electorate is a highlight of "Democracy in California," a multi-part special report on the state's governance-fiscal quagmire published by the Economist.
Direct democracy in California is thus an aberration. It has no safeguards against Madison's tyranny of the majority. It recognises no saucer that might cool the passions of the people. Above all, it is not a system intended to contain minority factions. Instead, it encourages special interests to wage war by ballot measure until one lobby prevails and imposes its will on all. Madison and Hamilton would have been horrified.
But in 1911 none of this was yet clear. The system had the potential to be coercive, but its actual effect would depend on context and usage. Indeed, the number of ballot measures, once the novelty wore off, declined and stayed low as the Southern Pacific's power faded naturally. For decades, immigrants populated the state, and most problems seemed to take care of themselves. But all this changed abruptly in 1978, with an unprecedented initiative that shapes the state to this day: Proposition 13.
According to Mr. Mockler, it was Proposition 111 that finally made the overall structure for education funding incomprehensible. It multiplied by six the "data sets you need to know" to calculate education spending, he says. He compares the resulting package of legislation to the general theory of relativity, quantum physics and the federal tax code in complexity, and reckons that he is currently one of ten people alive who understand Californian school finance.
Last week, Calbuzz ran an op-ed by Alissa Anderson and and Jean Ross of the California Budget Project arguing in favor of taxing internet sales. Today, we offer a response from Rebecca Madigan of the Performance Marketing Association.
In California there are 25,000 thriving small businesses known as "affiliate marketers" and right now the very existence of this industry is being threatened by misguided legislation; in these economic times can California afford to lose 25,000 more businesses?
The supposition of AB 153 (Skinner) and SB 234 (Hancock) is that by implementing an "affiliate nexus" tax, California will collect additional sales tax revenue. That is simply not true.
What is true is that if these bills pass, California affiliate marketers will have their incomes devastated, and the state will collect no new sales tax dollars.
Affiliate marketers are California companies that earn income from ads placed on their websites. In 2009, California affiliate marketers earned $1.6 billion and paid $124 million in state income taxes (plus business taxes, employment taxes, etc). Legislation such as AB 153 and SB 234 guarantees elimination of these fiscal contributions.
Proponents allege that because out-of-state retailers place ads on California-owned websites they should collect sales tax. But placing an ad on a website does not constitute a "nexus," nor does it obligate out-of-state retailers to collect sales tax in California.
This holds true for California retailers that advertise in other states – they are not obligated to collect sales tax in states simply because they advertise there.
Should any of the proposed legislation take effect, out-of-state retailers wanting to stay on the right side of the Constitution will simply stop advertising on California websites and, instead, will advertise on competitors' sites in other states.
When that happens, the impact on these 25,000 small businesses will be devastating: they likely will see a 25-35% drop in income, which would translate into the layoff of thousands of people statewide and businesses moving to other states, or perhaps even closing. But don't take my word for it you can view what some affiliate marketers have to say here.
Proposal such as AB 153 and SB 234 are non-starters; in 2009 the governor vetoed comparable legislation and 15 other states have rejected similar legislation. Three states, New York, Rhode Island and North Carolina, tried to implement an online sales tax, only to find such programs unsuccessful.
No additional income was generated for those states while numerous out-of-state retailers simply stopped advertising on in-state affiliate marketer websites. The states didn't gain sales tax revenue – in fact, they lost income tax revenue. That is exactly what will happen in California if these pass. Further, George Runner, a member of California's Board of Equalization received confirmation that major out-of-state retailers will follow suit in California should comparable legislation pass.
All California busi nesses and consumers are obligated to pay sales tax for online purchases where a sales tax was not collected. This is a "use tax" and has been in place more than 75 years. If use tax collection is implemented correctly, it will garner California far more additional tax revenue than these baseless "virtual nexus" schemes. Currently the Board of Equalization is making a pro-active effort to educate and collect additional revenue under California's use tax. Legislators should focus on reliable income streams such as the use tax rather than spending time on ineffective proposals.
If AB 153 and SB 234 pass, California gains nothing and only loses; new sales tax income will not be collected and 25,000 viable affiliate businesses will be devastated. The bottom-line is this: California will lose much more in businesses closing, further job loss, businesses moving out-of-the state and reduced income state contributions than it will gain in illusory "nexus tax" gains.

> Two applications are packaged in same root directory.
When designing application path structures for Tizen 3.0, we couldn't find any documents on that issue for Tizen 2.x. Is the above layout documented somewhere or is it just common practice in 2.3?
1. Allow apps inside a package to be installed, uninstalled and upgraded separately. The desire to do that was actually based on how hybrid applications worked in Tizen 2.x with WRT+OSP (two separate apps with the same pkgId, installed by separate installers).
Features 2 and 3 can be easily supported by both directory layouts (the 2.3 one you mentioned and the 3.0 layout). However one may expect issues with feature 1 in the 2.3 layout model. For example what should happen if two applications in a package provide the same file?
> Does anybody know whether the application directory policy is changed?
> I think that the application directory policy is not consistent now.
The path layout for Tizen 3 was designed without knowing requirements from Tizen 2.3. We should reconsider it now if there is anything in Tizen 2.3 that relies on the old path layout.
But it would be very beneficial to have understanding of how multi-app packages are going to look like. What will be their life-cycle (development, installation, upgrade). And whether or not wewant to support appliactions that are installed separately, but come with the same package id.

Wendy's takes a chance with Chance The Rapper but Amy Schumer wants boycott
By Karu F. Daniels
Chance The Rapper and Amy Schumer
Wendy's is taking a chance with Chance The Rapper but they have a big "beef" with Amy Schumer.
Last weekend, the Dublin, Ohio-headquartered fast food chain had fun with Grammy Award-winning rapper Chance The Rapper egging on a social media campaign to bring back spicy chicken nuggets to the menu.
In his "positive affirmation for today" tweet, the rapper professed that "Wendy's WILL bring back spicy nugget at some point please please Lord let it be today."
Savvy marketing flacks for the popular burger brand responded to his tweet by tasking his followers with the ultimate challenge: achieve 2 million likes on the post in question.
Let's freakin' do this! https://t.co/qrtvWXjj9V
— Wendy's (@Wendys) May 4, 2019
With over 2.2 million likes and close to half a million tweets later, Wendy's teased that "it just might finally happen."

On Monday, Schumer joined the fray when she used social media to announce the gender of her newborn baby boy and also asked her fans to #BoycottWendys.
"Wendys is the only fast food chain refusing to protect farmworker women from sexual assault and rape in the fields," the Emmy Award-winning funnywoman wrote on Instagram. "This is true. Please read that sentence again. Message for the people in charge: Instead of spicy nuggets, we want food that is harvested with dignity NOT violence."
Hey! We love @chancetherapper and hate to be the ones to tell him that Wendys is the only fast food chain refusing to protect farmworker women from sexual assault and rape in the fields. This is true. Please read that sentence again. Message for the people in charge: Instead of spicy nuggets, we want food that is harvested with dignity NOT violence. Please join the @fairfoodprogram and #BoycottWendys link in my bio of how you can help. Also we are having a boy. 🥳

Wendy's is said to be the last major fast food company to not join the program; Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut joined in 2005, McDonald's in 2007, Subway and Burger King joined in 2008. Walmart, Whole Foods, Chipotle and Trader Joe's are supportive of the cause.
In 2013, the coalition reportedly began its campaign against Wendy's, urging it to join the Fair Food Program.
Protests against Wendy's have taken place in cities and on college campuses, where students are asking their universities to ban Wendy's restaurants from operating on the premises.

A spokesperson for the company told the Times that Wendy's has started buying tomatoes from indoor greenhouse farms largely in the U.S. and Canada.
Blake Morgan, author of "The Customer of the Future: 10 Guiding Principles to Winning Tomorrow's Business," noted how Wendy's has missed the mark with this social media flap.
"Every customer counts," she wrote for Forbes.com. "Wendy's made the cardinal sin of only responding to positive messages from its customers. Every customer counts, no matter if they love or hate the brand. By not addressing the protests and allegations, Wendy's is leaving some of its customers out and trying to push aside bad feelings with positive press."

The odds can't change if you don't obtain extra details. And it seems there might be ways to show it eventually. There's no consensus here precisely since these papernow questions do not seem to be empirically determinable.
It is going to be possible to seek out solutions which are far beyond the range of the strongest computers we know today. Though quantum computing is a rather cutting-edge region of science and technology, there continue to be many businesses which are working to create wonderful innovations in the fields of quantum hardware, together with quantum computer software. The inability of the great majority of individuals and compact businesses to secure legal representation due to deficiency of access and higher price is an acute problem often called the accessibility to justice crisis.
QDs imaging can possibly replace the lengthy and costly procedure of how we are treating cancer today! User preferences is the secret word. To me, even though the present system of measurement and verification is in fact moving in the correct direction, it has a massive portion missing.
One https://artsandsciences.osu.edu/news-events/events/tedxohiostateuniversity-brain-storms of the excellent things about more advanced computers is they can be programmedwith code, which means that the individual utilizing the computer may give the computer instructions about how to process data. Obviously, symmetric key encryption isn't that easy. Upon finishing the exchange, the bot takes the user info and produces a document that may be employed to challenge the tickets.
This situation generally relativity is quite different. In addition, it has an intriguing corollary. It doesn't mean that these theories are completely true and immutable.
To date, there is absolutely no scientific process to demonstrate this principle and that's exactly why it's a theory in place of a law. There were many different observations that physicists were attempting to comprehend. The day science starts to study non-physical phenomena, it is going to produce more progress in 1 decade than in all the preceding centuries of its existence.
It's a quote I've been aware of for quite a while and taken it to mean just how it has ever been interpreted. An additional way to conserve money is to get a ringbound or loose-leaf copy instead of the standard hardback. An excellent mistake you can create in physics is to assume you are aware of what the answer will be in advance.
Following behind the van in my vehicle, you could imagine my surprise once the van stopped dead in the center of the street. All work contributes to something. A month or two before, I wrote a piece titled Do You Want to Live Forever admitting that I'm passionate in regards to the theory of time.
Research and teaching work in theoretical physics expect a doctorate in the area. To do this the experiments utilize several practices. In fact, the majority of physicists believe physical laws are time-invariant.
You drop the chance to deal with weaknesses in your knowledge. If you would like to inquire about the chance of an extra session on diversity in addition to that, I tell my students it's well worth asking whatever question they could have. An ability to discover several solutions at the identical time may help to specify the progression of diseases like cancer.
The intelligence wouldn't have turned him into a machine which would be incapable of disorder. Inside this scenario, the universe's present expansion was preceded by means of a phase of contraction, yielding similar advantages to inflation. As stated by the quantum model, but the particle is believed to have no definite position during the time that it is between the starting point and the endpoint.
In the same way, the polarization of one photon can be horizontal and vertical at the very same moment. An individual could also opt to peek at the incoming photon, preparing a telescope on every side of the galaxy to learn which side the photon took to reach Earth.

In all these situations, what's presumed to be a completely free form art is, actually, a very technical analytic toolkit. Specifically, our work demonstrates that substitution effects and indifference effects form an organic system of Gauge potential, or so the fit is ideal, and it's almost a too fantastic to be true circumstance. As soon as it is indeed the case that one of the functions of religion is to give comfort, it's certainly not necessary for somebody who is religious to disbelieve or don't understand science.
The very first question that should be addressed is as follows. I don't have any special talents. Generally speaking, this mindset helps me to feel a whole lot more empowered because I understand that each of the tough work is going towards something.


Volkswagen's desire to license its MEB electric vehicle technology could even extend to building cars for rival manufacturers at its factories, the company's boss has admitted.
The German automotive group has previously said that it is in talks with Ford about possibly licensing its MEB components – batteries, electric motors and chassis – to help increase volumes and improve profitability in what is still a fast-developing area of the market. Last week, at the Geneva Motor Show, VW announced the first third-party deal for the tech, with German start-up EV company e.GO Mobility.
Speaking at the VW Group annual conference, the Chairman of the Board of Management, Dr Herbert Diess, admitted that the company was in talks with additional third parties, beyond Ford, and said that it would consider a licensing agreement, even if the cars produced because of it are rivals for the likes of the forthcoming VW I.D. family of EVs.
"Manufacturing is to be considered, let's say," Diess added. "I wouldn't say we would invest in a plant specifically [to build cars for other OEMs] but if we have spare capacity, and it makes economic sense, it's an option.

California Yanks Prius's Smug-Inducing HOV-Lane Privilege
Ray Wert
In California, 85,000 owners of the Toyota Prius and two other hybrids were granted special stickers providing access to High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, even with a single occupant in the car. That all ends on January 1st.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill yesterday extending certain HOV-Lane Access stickers for four more years. The yellow HOV stickers slapped to the sides of 85,000 hybrid vehicles weren't included in the extension. That means that when they expire on December 31st, it's sayonara to the smug-smile-inducing privilege.
Instead, Schwarzenegger extended the expiration on stickers plastered on a group of green vehicles that are far less common: Electric cars like the Tesla Roadster and those that run on natural gas like the Honda Civic GX or hydrogen — like the rarer-than-a-fillet 2010 Honda FCX Clarity.

The Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences and Technologies of the University of Salento supports all kinds of biological research, from molecules to ecosystems. The Department has a very strong tradition in Aquatic ecology with special focuses on Marine and Transitional waters. It is part of the National Interuniversity Consortium of Marine Sciences, and participates to many national and international projects. Research fields span from biodiversity exploration, with strong taxonomic expertise on various groups, from Hydrozoa to Polychaeta and Copepods, to biogeographic, ecological, and evolutionary studies on marine and transitional waters biota. The Department has two museums (The Marine Biology Museum of Porto Cesareo and the Museum of the Environment) and an Observatory on Mediterranean Ecosystems at Otranto (Faro Palascia). The Department is located at 10 km from the Adriatic Sea and 20 km from the Ionian Sea. In the surroundings there is easy access to transitional waters, saltmarshes, mud flats, sandy bottoms, rocky cliffs, marine caves, coralligenous formations, seagrass meadows.
The Department will provide teaching for the visiting students, laboratory space for their experimental work, access to shores and marine habitats. The students will thus be involved in both theoretical and practical work, also in relation to the preparation of their theses.

Q: Can an -ese noun, meaning people, used if it accompanies non- at the head of it? Apart from the usual -ese ending words denoting a person/people, which is not usually accepted as natural, 'non-***ese,' --- would it be more accepted? Is this because the writer himeslf is a non-Japanese person and would not mind, maybe, sounding derogatory?
I found this example:
If you're a conspicuous non-Japanese living here who rides the trains or buses, or goes to cafes or anywhere in public where Japanese people have the choice of sitting beside you or sitting elsewhere, then you've likely experienced the empty-seat phenomenon with varying frequency and intensity.

A: Properly "-ese" words should only be used as adjectives, unless they refer to groups of people.  And even then the use is questionable.
Japanese learners of English tend to translate "Nihonjin" as "A Japanese". This is traditionally incorrect. It is better to say "A Japanese person". It is derogatory only when you assume that all Japanese people are the same. That is a separate issue from the grammar.
The trouble is that there is no convenient demonym for a single Japanese person, and so the adjective gets used as a noun. Languages change.
It would be possible to use "non-Japanese person" or "person who isn't Japanese" But the placement of the adjective "conspicuous" becomes slightly difficult. We don't mean "A conspicuous person, who isn't Japanese", and "a person who is conspicuously non-Japanese" is getting too long and also not quite the same meaning.
The author could have rephrased, to avoid the use of "non-Japanese" as a noun, but chose the easy solution, using the now fairly common use of Japanese as a noun. We understand the meaning, but it is not excellent writing.

A: Why the "ese" suffix is added from a cultural/historic is etymology concentric.  It is best to check reliable etymology dictionaries to trace the history of English word origin, including English prefixes or suffixes.
The correct term for "ese" is "suffix."
From
-ese
word-forming element, from Old French -eis (Modern French -ois, -ais), from Vulgar Latin, from Latin -ensem, -ensis "belonging to" or "originating in."
Source: https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=ese
There are other suffixes here:
-ian (Italian, Norwegian)
-ean (Chilean, Korean)
-an (American, Mexican)
-ese (Chinese, Japanese)
-er (Icelander, New Zealander)
-ic (Icelandic, Greenlandic)
-ish (English, Irish)
-i (Iraqi, Pakistani)

It's possible you glean and confuse negative connotation for the suffix "ese" and misapply a historical, Latin or French "ese" [originating from Japan = Japanese, originating from China = Chinese; Vietnam = Vietnamese, etc., with  Oxford Dictionary below on "ese" definition?
Definition of -ese suffix from the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary
 -ese suffix

(in adjectives and nouns) of a country or city; a person who lives in a country or city; the language spoken there Chinese Viennese

(in nouns) (often disapproving) the style or language of journalese officialese

using "ese" to denote something "disapproving," like many English speakers create their own slang using "ese" as if they are some kind of "otaku" in something (I live in Japan - 1970 to Present, but I am originally from the States.
"I speak ski ese"  (which makes it sound like I not only ski, I eat, sleep, breathe every waking moment skiing. It's considered slang creating words like this which I just did. Meaning is disapproving in that it is way, way more than any normal person who skis would do. The connotation is, it's so much so that its become another language that other people can't speak (haha, like the image of an "otaku" in Japan.
The etymology of "ese" meaning "origin"  is separate.  Separate from a current phenomenon of English speakers in some areas attaching the "ese" to adjectives and nouns that have negative connotation.
Hope this helps.  Like the Oxford dictionary does, treat as separate.

CELEBRITY IN CHIEF BARRY O ENTERTAINED THE NATION TONIGHT WITH JOKES.
SINCE THE COUNTRY'S IN THE MIDST OF THE WORST ECONOMIC CRISIS SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION THAT CAN ONLY MEAN THAT HAD THE CHRISTMAS BOMBER SUCCEEDED, BARRY O WOULD HAVE MIXED IN A FEW PRAT FALLS AND SLAPSTICK COMEDY TO GO WITH HIS BITCHY ONE LINERS.
Today the Iraq Inquiry in London heard from the former Attorney General Peter Goldsmith who apparently had trouble with timelines (link goes to video and transcript options). Ruth Barnett and Andy Jack (Sky News) report, "There was no evidence of an 'imminent threat' from Iraq to justify a war in self defence, Lord Goldsmith has told an inquiry." That was early in the morning. The hearing got more interesting as it went along. Goldsmith would explain the US never wanted a second resolution and if Goldsmith knew that, Tony Blair did which means Blair most likely never wanted a second resolution despite remarks to the British public as well as the Parliament in the lead up to the Iraq War. In addition, Goldsmith revealed that when he finally decided to flip on his own advice (he'd stated the Iraq War was legal without a second UN resolution), he did so not based on the law but based on whose side he wanted to be on -- as if a war is a game of dodge ball.
Before we get to the sorry excuse for a lawyer and human being that Goldsmith is, let's note that the Liberal Democrats issued a release today:
Following Sir John Chilcot's admission today of 'frustration' over the Government's unwillingness to declassify certain information, Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg has called for key documents to be published before Tony Blair's hearing on Friday.
The documents, which must be made public if the Blair hearing is to be effective, include correspondence between the then-Prime Minister and George W Bush which has already been discussed, but so far remains unseen.
Commenting, Nick Clegg said:
"Despite Gordon Brown's claim that he has 'nothing to hide' this has all the hallmarks of a cover up. Just as Liberal Democrats warned, the protocol on the release of documents is being used to gag the inquiry.
"To restore trust in the inquiry the Government must immediately declassify certain key documents ahead of Tony Blair's hearing -- the memo from Sir David Manning to Tony Blair dated January 31, 2003 and the letter from Tony Blair to George W Bush sent July 2002.
"Labour are leaving themselves open to charges of outright sabotage of Chilcot's work to save their own political skins. If Tony Blair gets through on the nod due to the withholding of key documents, the public will rightly dismiss this inquiry as a whitewash.
"This will not go away. The Government must understand that the truth about this illegal war must and will emerge eventually, and that the time to come clean is now."
Now let's jump in to the hearing and if you're lost in the timeline, consider the confusion to be Goldsmith's fault. He will apparently identify an event, a trip, in February 2003 as having taken place in February 2002. Follow down the rabbit hole if you can.
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: When did you actually give the Prime Minister your first advice?
Peter Goldsmith: Well, my advice remained preliminary until July -- I'm so sorry, until February. It remained preliminary until February, because I was still conducting my enquiries and researches. On, I think, 27 February, I met in Downing Street with, again, the Prime Minister's advisers and I told them then that, in the light of the further enquiries I had made, following my visit to the United States, following discussions with Jeremy Greenstock, following my investigation of the negotiating history, I was of the view that a reasonable case could be made -- I'm sorry, there was a reasonable case that a second resolution was not necessary, and that that was, on past precedent, sufficient to constitute a green light.
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: You have moved ahead to 27 February.
Peter Goldsmith: Yes.
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: We were hearing yesterday in discussion with Ms Wilmshurst, about presentation of draft advice by you in the middle of January to the Prime Minister.
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: Advice that she said that she had, I think, seen unofficially.
Peter Goldsmith: She wasn't involved. Ms. Wilmshurst wasn't --
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: Let's not personalise it and her. I think she was speaking for the FCO legal advisers collectively then. The question I wished to ask you is: what did you present to the Prime Minister, and how and when, in January?
Peter Godlsmith: As I said, I presented a sort of draft provisional advice as a basis for understanding what the response was to some of my concers, particularly drawing attention to the need to understand what was meant by "for assessment" in operational paragraph 4.
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: Was this in sort of fleshed-out form?
Commitee Member Roderic Lyne: Was it quite a lengthy document?
Peter Goldsmith: Because the whole point was there were a number of textual arguments that were being raised. You couldn't explain those in a ten-second conversation.
Goldsmith then explained he met with Tony Blair, then prime minister, to discuss a draft of his findings. The draft also made it to Jeremy Greenstock and others but Goldsmith only provided it to Tony Blair. January 23, 2003, he met with Greenstock to discuss the findings. Greenstock told him that a resolution from the United Nations' Security Council authorizing the Iraq War was unnecessary. The issue of the first resolution (the one allowing UN inspectors into Iraq) was raised.
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: In one of the early drafts of that resolution, that the United Kingdom and the United States, I think, showed to the French on 25 September 2003 -- and I appreciate that you were not being consulted on the drafting process, so let me quote from that: "We were bidding to include the following words in the resolution, that the Security Council", I quote: ". . . decides that false statements or omissions in the declaration and failure by Iraq to comply shall constitute a further material breach, and that such breach authorises member states to use all necessary means to restore international peace and security in the area." Now, presumably, if we had succeeded in getting those words into the resolution, there would have been no need for a second decision at all?
Peter Goldsmith: Quite right.
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: But we do not succeed in getting those words into the resolution. So in order to achieve a resolution, we had to give ground.
Peter Goldsmith: Well, the ground that was given particularly was to concede some second stage. The difficult question is whether the second stage was a Council discussion, where they would consider the discussion, or a Council discussion where they would decide what would happen next.
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: We conceded that we had not been able to achieve a clear statement in this resolution that authorised member states to use all necessary means, ie to use force?
Goldsmith then goes off topic and Lyne tries to bring him back. Whenever Goldsmith goes off topic -- especially to avoid answering a question -- he ends up giving away much more than he realizes. He's not on topic but we'll jump in here anyway.
Peter Goldsmith: The United States, as everyone has said -- Sir Michael said it, I have said throughout, it is apparent on 7 March -- didn't believe they needed an United Nations Resolution at all. They believed they were able themselves to make the determination that Iraq was in material breach, and, therefore, they didn't need -- they didn't need 1441. Mr. Blair had -- and I said, I think to his credit -- had got President Bush to the UN table.
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: I think, with respect, that's a separate point. We have gone past that point already.
Peter Goldsmith: With respect, may I make the point? Because it is important, and it is one of the things that came across very clearly in the meetings I had in February with the UN. Because the United States didn't need 1441 -- we did because we took the view that there had to be a determination of material breach. The United States didn't need it. They could have walked away from 1441 and said, "Well, we have been to the United Nations, they haven't given us the resolution we want, we can now take force." The only red line I was told by the State Department, legal adviser, the only red line that the negotiators had was that they must not concede a further decision of the Security Council because they took the view they could move in any event.
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: Yes.
Peter Goldsmith: Therefore, if they had agreed to a decision which said the Security Council must decide, they would have then lost that freedom.
Do you find Peter Goldsmith to be believable? That's a person call and people will have to make it on their own. But the above exchange -- an exchange Goldsmith offered willingly (in an attempt to avoid Lyne's questions) is rather explosive and people seem to be missing that.
Think for a moment what the Iraq Inquiry has been told. You've got, yes, one group that declares that England had 1441 and didn't need another resolution for the war to be legal and then you have the legal experts who say of course England needed a resolution authorizing the war. But back that up. Forget for a moment whether it was needed or not. We are told, over and over, that Tony Blair thought he could get a second one or thought that a second one would be sought. But Goldsmith has just revealed the US government's position -- after 1441 -- was that NO other resolution from the Security Council would be sought.
Because of wasting time? No.
The US government's position, according to Goldsmith, was that if a second resolution was passed it might limit the US' actions. Goldsmith (leaving out Lyne's "yes"): "The only red line I was told by the State Department, legal adviser, the only red line that the negotiators had was that they must not concede a further decision of the Security Council because they took the view they could move in any event. [. . .] Therefore, if they [the US] had agreed to a decision which said the Security Council must decide, they would have then lost that freedom."
That's rather important. Not because of the US administration's legal 'strategy' (or 'legal' 'strategy') but because if that was the US position and it was conveyed to Goldsmith then we've heard a lot of liars in this Inquiry insist that Blair was trying for a second resolution. Tony Blair was attached to George W. Bush at the hip and Bush was saying that a second resolution could restrain US actions so the US didn't want a second resolution, you better believe Tony Blair wasn't attempting a second resolution.
If you find Goldsmith believable, then the above is explosive because it reveals that witnesses have lied to the Inquiry (some may have been misinformed -- it would go to how high up they were) and it means Tony Blair has lied to the British people because the US position would have been in place before 1441 passed. When they saw the language emerging for 1441, the US position would have been in place and it would be, according to Goldsmith, "Fine. That's our resolution. We won't go back for another because it might hem us in."
The Inquiry should ask Tony Blair Friday to explain his understanding of the US position on a second resolution and when he became aware that they felt a second resolution might hem them in? At what point did Blair decide to go along with no second resolution? He should then be asked if he was sincere in his talk (during the lead up) about a second resolution? It does not add up, it does not make sense. Clearly, by March, it was too late to talk of a second resolution for Blair (because the date was already set for the war and Blair knew it). So at what point was Blair stringing along the public (and possibly his Cabinet members)?
In January 2003, as Blair prepared to meet with Bush at the end of the month, Goldsmith testified he again informed Blair a second resolution was necessary for the war to be legal. In February 2003, Goldsmith states he changed his mind about that. Repeated attempts by Committee Member Usha Prashar to determine why that was were met with Goldsmith doing everything but answering her questions.
February 10, 2003, Goldsmith went to DC. Please note, he is asked and he says it is February 10, 2002 (page 108 of the transcript, lines 21 through 25). That does not appear to be correct. He was in DC February 10, 2003. He was at the White House on Feburary 11, 2003 according to the official records. If indeed he visited in 2002 -- as he seems to think he did, that would mean that the US government and the British government defrauded the UN as well as the citizens of the world. 1441 is passed November 8, 2002. For Goldsmith's timeline to be correct -- maybe it is -- they would have had to have planned in February 2002, nine months before seeking the resolution, how they would not go for a second one. Again, I can get a confirmation on the February 2003 visit. I can't find out anything on a February 2002 visit. If I'm wrong and he did visit in February 2002 and that what follows took place then, there are some additional issues of fraud to the ones US House Rep John Conyers once noted.
Goldsmith testified he spoke with Will Taft IV of the US State Dept., he states he spoke to the legal adviser for the National Security Council, to Condi Rice, to "Colin Powell's people," to "Judge Gonzalez" (that's Alberto Gonzalez) and with John Ashcroft who was then the US Attorney General.
Peter Goldsmith: On one point, they were absolutely speaking with one voice, which is they were very clear that what mattered to them, what mattered to President Bush is whether they would, as they put it, concede a veto -- I need to explain that -- and that the red line was that they shouldn't do that, and they were confident that they had not conceded a veto. The point about conceding a veto was that the reg light was, "We believe" -- they were saying "that we have a right to go without this resolution. We have been persuaded to come to the United Nations" -- plainly some in the administration disagreed with that, you know that very well, "but the one thing that musn't happen is that by going this route, we then find we lose the freedom of action we think we now have", and if the resolution had said there must be a further decision by the Seucrity Council, that's what it would have done, and the United States would have been tied into that. They were all very, very clear that was the most important point to them and that they hadn't conceded that, and they were very clear that the French understood that, that they said that they had told -- discussed this with other members of the Security Council as well and they all understood that was the position.
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: So they were very clear that the French had acknowledged, presumably in private, that there wasn't any need for a second decision?
Peter Godlsmith: Yes, in the discussions that they had had. They were very clear -- they were very clear that they had been adamant that this was key to them and that they had stuck to their guns and they had therefore conceded the discussion, the French acknowledged that, and discussion and no more.
Committee Member Roderic Lyne: What evidence did they give you that the French had acknowledged this?
Peter Goldsmith: I wish they had presented me with more. That was one of the difficulties, and I make reference to this, that, at the end of the day, we were sort of dependent upon their view in relation to that. But I had seen -- certainly I had seen -- I looked very carefully at all the negotiating telegrams and I had seen that there were some acknowledgements of that, acknowledgments that the French understood the United States' position, at least, in telegrams that I had seen, and I was told of occasions when this had been clearly stated to the French.
To repeat, all the above describes what he would have encountered in February 2003 but he is saying it was February 2002.
In one of the more laughable moments, he explains he did not confirm the French government's position. He merely took the word of the Americans (and of people in his own government). Why? Because he insists he couldn't speak to the French government. It gets more crazy: He insists no British official could speak to the French. He couldn't place a call and no one could attempt to go through diplomatic channels.
He says because there were hard feelings between the US and France at that time and England was partners with the US and, golly, if the US saw Britian standing with France behind the gym, smoking a cigarette, the US might not invite Britain to the big party Friday. At "golly," I'm satirizing but it was his position and that's laughable. Even the Chair, John Chilcot, expressed surprise and asked of diplomatic channels which Goldsmith insisted couldn't be used.
Lyne asks Goldsmith what a court of law would say if he presented this? You have the official, public record of France's position. And if Goldsmith presented this hearsay of France's position (provided second hand by the US), what would a court say? A court would rule against it (it's hearsay) and Goldsmith knows that so he gets nervous (and gives away more than he realizes) and changes the topic. Asked what a court of law would say about that, he replies:
Well, can I answer this way, and I know I'm moving forward, but at that point that I took the view -- and I'll explain why -- that I had actually to come down on one side of the argument or other, I used a test which I quite frequently use when I'm having to advise on difficult matters, which is to say "Which side of the argument would you prefer to be on?" and I took the view I would prefer to be on the side of the argument that said a second resolution wasn't necessary.
WHAT??????
That's not what a lawyer does. A lawyer does not say, "Do I want to be on A or B side?" An attorney looks at the law. The law is the law. You can interpret it, you can argue for grey areas, but the law is the law. You do not say, "___ is guilty or innocent. Which side do I want to be on?" You look at the evidence. You look at the facts. You go to precedents and you make a call. But Goldsmith has confessed to the Inquiry that when Tony Blair and Jack Straw didn't want a second resolution -- even though Goldsmith had been insisting the war would be illegal without a second resolution -- Goldsmith decided he'd rather be on Tony Blair's side. (He testified he decided that in March . . . and he testified he kind of decided that in January. We'll just say "March" and leave it at that.) It's not about sides, it's about the law.
Goldsmith is a joke and should be disbarred. He is saying he decided on a position -- not based on the law -- and then cherry picked through various things to back up the position. He should be disbarred and the UK should make him return his salary because that's not practicing the law.
Nico Hines live blogs the hearing for the Times of London. Andrew Sparrow live blogs the hearing for the Guardian. Channel 4 News' Iraq Inquiry Blogger live blogs at Twitter. Chris Ames will blog and fact check at Iraq Inquiry Digest.
If you've ever wondered what it's like in the committee hearing room, Andy Beckett (Guardian) provides a detailed picture, he also sketches out each committee member and we'll note one section of his report:
As soon as I sat down and took out my notebook, a woman in a neighbouring seat with an intense air introduced herself. "I am from one of the bereaved families," she said. "My sister was kidnapped and died in Iraq."
Margaret Hassan was a British aid worker murdered during the Baghdad insurgency in 2004. Her family saw video footage of her captivity and death. Hassan's sister, Deirdre Manchanda, was contemptuous about the inquiry: "Sir John Chilcot," she said, with heavy sarcasm, "I wish he was my grandfather. When he consulted the bereaved families [before the hearings], I said, 'This is a huge conference centre, get another room for when Tony Blair appears. Or can the --bereaved families have reserved seats that day?'"
Manchanda went on: "I wouldn't shake Tony Blair's hand. But like other people here from the bereaved families, I haven't thrown eggs. We have conducted ourselves in a dignified way. Chilcot wrote back very politely, but not one proposal I put was agreed to."
And for the reaction of another person who lost a loved one in Iraq, we'll note Peter Brierly (father of Shaun Brierley) from "Tony Blair is guilty of mass murder" (Great Britain's Socialist Worker):
'We've been saying what has now come out of the Chilcot inquiry for the last six years. The decision to go to war was made years before it was announced, it was illegal, and it was to depose Saddam Hussein.
They denied it all this time, and now it's out.
But that isn't enough. The only acceptable outcome is for Tony Blair to face investigation for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
When he gives evidence Blair will deny these things. Unless they put charges to Blair, the inquiry is in disrepute.
The Iraqi people should have a voice too, to come and give evidence. It wasn't just people who were killed -- a whole country was destroyed.
Every other day there seems to be a bombing or something similar in Baghdad.
The violence only exists because of the instability war has created.
We went and met with John Chilcot along with other military families before the inquiry started.
I met him individually and he said that if anything illegal came out in the inquiry he wouldn't hesitate to pass it on.
Well now it has come out of their own mouths that it was for regime change.
Since I refused to shake Blair's hand, he seems a bit different.
People used to say you'll never get what you want, but he's looking less cocky now, less confident.
We won't stop until we get him -- and until we get justice.'
There is more to "Tony Blair is guilty of mass murder" but we don't have the room in today's snapshot, we'll note the other half tomorrow. Great Britain's Socialist Worker's coverage on this topic also includes:
» Blair and Brown have blood on their hands
» Afghanistan: Conference will not stabilise the 'good war' gone bad
» Chilcot whitewash brings out the dirt
» Attempt to ban protest outside Tony Blair's appearance at Iraq inquiry
Friday, one-time prime minister and forever poodle Tony Blair will appear before the Iraq Inquiry. A major protest is expected to take place outside as War Criminal Tony testifies. From Stop The War Coalition's "Protest on Tony Blair's Judgement Day: 29 January from 8am:"
Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre, Broad
Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P 3EE
On Friday 29 January, Tony Blair will try to explain to the Iraq Inquiry the lies he used to take Britain into an illegal war.
Writers, musicians, relatives of the dead, Iraqi refugees, poets, human rights lawyers, comedians, actors, MPs and ordinary citizens will join a day of protest outside the Inquiry to demand that this should be Tony Blair's judgement day.
There will be naming the dead ceremonies for the hundreds of thousands slaughtered in Blair's war. Military families who lost loved ones in Iraq will read the names of the 179 British soldiers killed.
Join us from 8.0am onwards.

Treviño's Blog » Archives » Ubuntu goes GNOME, theming stays. Let's test (and tune) it!
If you haven't already, here's how I recommend you get started.
Install the latest Ubuntu 17.10 daily image (if not going wild and trying this in 17.04).
After installing it, install gnome-shell.
Install gnome-tweak-tool if you want an easy way to change themes.
On the login screen, switch your session to GNOME and log in.
Attach a screenshot to the Launchpad issue.
Ubuntu's default icon theme is ubuntu-mono-dark (or -light if you switch to Radiance) but most of Ubuntu's customized icons are provided by humanity-icon-theme.
If you want to help with the theming itself, you're very welcome. Gtk themes are nowadays using CSS, so I'm pretty sure that any Web designer out there can help with them (these are the supported properties).
All you have to do, is simply use the Gtk Inspector that can be launched from any Gtk3 app, and write some CSS rules and see how they get applied on the fly. Once you're happy with your solution, you can just create a MP for the Ubuntu Themes.
Let's keep ubuntu, look ubuntu!
PS: thanks to Jeremy Bicha for the help in this post.
