Q: Find rows with similar date values I want to find customers where for example, system by error registered duplicates of an order.
It's pretty easy, if reg_date is EXACTLY the same but I have no idea how to implement it in query to count as duplicate if for example there was up to 1 second difference between transactions.
select * from
(select customer_id, reg_date, count(*) as cnt

 from orders

group by 1,2

) x where cnt > 1

Here is example dataset:
https://www.db-fiddle.com/f/m6PhgReSQbVWVZhqe8n4mi/0
CUrrently only customer's 104 orders are counted as duplicates because its reg_date is identical, I want to count also orders 1,2 and 4,5 as there's just 1 second difference

A: demo:db<>fiddle
SELECT
    customer_id,
    reg_date
FROM (
    SELECT
        *,
        reg_date - lag(reg_date) OVER (PARTITION BY customer_id ORDER BY reg_date) <= interval '1 second' as is_duplicate
    FROM
        orders
) s
WHERE is_duplicate

Use the lag() window function. It allows to have a look hat the previous record. With this value you can do a diff and filter the records where the diff time is more than one second.

A: Try this following script. This will return you day/customer wise duplicates.
SELECT
TO_CHAR(reg_date :: DATE, 'dd/mm/yyyy') reg_date,
customer_id,
count(*) as cnt
FROM orders
GROUP BY
TO_CHAR(reg_date :: DATE, 'dd/mm/yyyy'),
customer_id
HAVING count(*) >1

, the international dating service based in Russia and Ukraine will open you the new possibilities of finding beautiful Slavic lady. It includes not only Russia and Ukraine but other countries of post USSR.
Furthermore, you learn what Russian and Ukrainian ladies think about age gaps in a cross-cultural relationship.
International Dating Insider Secrets from Tony Bochene is a video series that explains the changes in the international dating and wife finding market.
This was a business that was overrun with problems from illegal activities, gold digger auctioning, and mail order brides that were not what they made claims about.
The modern Ukrainian and Russian women for marriage scene is now more realistic, but not only because the women are more honest.
It is because the American male is looking for what can be found through dating women outside of the United States.


Zero interaction was needed in a proof-of-concept video released by Lookout, a cyber-security vendor specialized in mobile device security.
The guilty party in the video is called Shedun (also known as GhostPush), a trojanized adware that infects a user's phone and roots the device when the owner is careless enough to install apps from non-official sources (third-party app stores).
While initially Shedun only rooted the device and installed various ad-delivery apps, a new version of the adware was discovered, one that asks the user to turn on the phone's accessibility features during its installation.
The user is presented with a message that says something like: "[APP_NAME] uses accessibility features to help stop inactive apps you aren't using. You'll see a standard privacy reminder. Please feel at ease about turning it on."
If the user is tricked by the friendly message in which he's asked to give the app access to these features, the adware will then be able to read data passed via Android popups and take action on its own, without any user interaction.
This allows the adware to download and install apps without the user ever doing anything. Below is a video of the adware delivering an ad, but installing another app without any kind of user interaction when the user taps the ad's "close" button.
Below is a video of the adware requesting access to the phone's accessibility features during its installation.
I read it is "almost impossible" to delete this malware; what about pre/post infection detection by AV?
Yes, It seems that if your smartphone is infected by one of these malware it is unusable.
But the infection takes place by downloading files or applications from unofficial store. It seems trivial, but this solution is still used a lot by those who, instead of buying apps and games, prefer to download pirated apps, loading them on phone neglecting the normal safety logic.
Google should just make it a tad harder to install apps from 3rd party sources and I bet the infection rates would go down rapidly. They could, for example, only allow sideloading via ADB and a lot of inexperienced users who install pirated apps would instantly give up. This wouldn't even influence the workflow of developers since everyone loads their app via ADB anyways.
Since that Adware is mainly from 3rd party source, therefore its a user fault when insist to accept the program without any verification.
These days, many users don't install AV as its not practical from them + Play Store is well enough to provide quality of products as confirm to be safe without bothering to go on many website with unscrupulous content.
The problem, and that's why my question above, is if/ when they get on google play.
Do AVs detect it before installation?
Can AVs detect it on an infected device?
"Lookout has detected over 20,000 samples of this type of trojanized adware masquerading as legitimate top applications, including Candy Crush, Facebook, GoogleNow, NYTimes, Okta, Snapchat, Twitter, WhatsApp, and many others."
So i think that Lookout can detect it during the app's scan.
, yes lookout can detect it in files....can it also on an already infected device?
..hopefully the other AV do the same.
Android AV does a scan of each app before it's installed, so if it's detected, how can It install ?
If device is already infected, no way...to recover it.
For such simple concept of AV on mobile, let's take it a sure way they will detect before on execution and in its present action.
Usually AV's will encourage you to uninstall that label program as possible when detected.
OS X 10.10 breached: a malware installs an adware without password prompt!

Q: separate groups of images with jQuery Goal is to create a image-carousel with 7 images in a row.
I'm reading data from a json-file. This all works fine.
What I do not get working is a loop that separates groups of 7 images in separate  as per example below. Any advice is greatly appreciated for this jQuery-beginner.

Image-1
Image-2
Image-3
Image-4
Image-5
Image-6
Image-7

Image-8
Image-9
Image-10

I tried with two things:
insertBefore
$.each(data.items, function(index, element) {
  var myString = $('

');
  if (index % 7 == 0) {
    $("
Test
").insertBefore(".span2");
  }
  myString.append($('
')
    .append($(""))
      .append("")));
  myString.appendTo('#show-carousel');

if /else
$.each(data.items, function(index, element){
                var myString = $('

 ');
if (index % 7 == 0) {
   myString.append("
");
   myString.append($("
")
     .append($('
 ')
       .append($("")
         .append(""))));
}
else {
   myString.append($('
')
     .append($("")
       .append("")));
}
myString.appendTo('#show-carousel');

A: If I understand you correctly, you are trying to separate the images in groups of 7. To do this, you are on the correct path by using Modulus.
I would test to see when your loop index mod seven equals zero and then append a div group. Check out the code below.

var $carousel = $('#show-carousel'),
  $item,
  myArr = [],
  i;

// populate our array with some fake data.
for (i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
  var imgInfo = {
    imgf: 'image' + (i + 1) + '.jpg'
  };
  myArr.push(imgInfo);
}

//  loop through the array and add your items to your element
$.each(myArr, function(index, obj) {
  if (index % 7 === 0) {
    // create a div that will hold your images
    $item = $('

');
    // append this div to our carousel element
    $carousel.append($item);
  }
  // $item is a reference to the last created div
  $item.append('

');
});

$('.item:eq(0)').addClass('active');
#show-carousel .item {
  display: none;
  padding: 5px;
  margin: 5px;
  border: 1px solid red;
}
#show-carousel .item.active {
  display: block;
}
#show-carousel .item .span2 {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  padding: 5px;
  margin: 5px;
  border: 1px solid grey;
}

*edit: updated code to better reflect what you had in your example.

A: You can extract the functionality of executing a callback for a certain portion of an array into a helper function.
// function that executes a callback for a portion of an array
function forEachArrayGroup(arr, start, end, fn) {
  if (end > arr.length) end = arr.length; // normalize for out of bounds
  for (let i = start; i < end; i++) {
    fn(arr[i], i);
  }
}

This would allow you to separate the logic of splitting data into portions from adding data to the DOM:
for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i += 7) {

  // we create an item that will hold the portion
  const $item = $('

');

  // append the group to the current item
  forEachArrayPortion(items, i, i + 7, function(dataItem, index) {
    // this executes for each item in the group

    const $imgWrapper = // create the a, img and rest

    $item.append($imgWrapper);
  });
}

Here's a full example:

const data = { items: Array.from({ length: 18 }, (_, i) => i).map(() => ({ imgf: 'i_am_fake' })) };

function forEachArrayGroup(arr, start, end, fn) {
  if (end > arr.length) end = arr.length; // normalize for out of bounds
  for (let i = start; i < end; i++) {
    fn(arr[i], i);
  }
}

function displayItemsInGroups(items, groupSize) {

  for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i += groupSize) {
    // this executes for each group of `partSize` number of items

    // we create an item that will hold the group
    const $groupItem = $('

');

    // make sure the first item is active
    if (i === 0) {
      $groupItem.addClass('active');
    }

    // create the row that will contain the image groups
    const $groupRow = $("
");

    // add group row to the current item
    $groupRow.appendTo($groupItem);

    // add current item to the carousel
    $groupItem.appendTo('#show-carousel');

    // append the group to the current row
    forEachArrayGroup(items, i, i + groupSize, function(dataItem, index) {
      // this executes for each item in the group

      const $imgWrapper = $('
')
        .append($("")
          // fake image
          .append("
Image "+(index+1)+"
"));

      $groupRow.append($imgWrapper);
    });
  }
}

displayItemsInGroups(data.items, 7);
.item {
  padding: 10px;
  border: 1px solid #aaa;
  margin-bottom: 1px;
}

.item.active {
  border-color: #018bbc;
  background-color: lightblue;
}


Cook Together celebrates wild, spring King Salmon! We were also lucky to have Brendan McGill as our guest chef for this special class at Cafe Hitchcock. These may have been the best salmon either Chef Brenden and Chef Jesse have ever seen. Making sure to utilize every scrap of beautiful fish Jesse and Brenden went over whole fish butchery, curing and preserving techniques as well as simple snacks like tartar and how to properly sear salmon for large parties.
When considering the Pacific Northwest you cannot separate the spirit of this place from that of the salmon; the history of salmon consumption here can be traced back over 5,000 years with the Nisqually tribe, and probably beyond.
Nourishment on multiple levels, including that of the soul, is infinitely more satiating. To consume beautiful authentic Northwest salmon in alignment with the season is to feel nourishment on both the physical and energetic level. True wild and local salmon, eaten as fresh as possible, in harmony with others, connects us to place, delights our senses, and supplies our bodies with powerhouse nutrition, simultaneously.
Beautiful wild salmon also offers the highest level of flavor and nutrition. Salmon is high in essential Omega 3 fats, which our bodies cannot make; these fats balance inflammation and feed brains, hearts, eyes, bones, and even work to reduce or eliminate depression and anxiety.
Salmon is one of the highest food sources of Vitamin D, essential to our immune system, bone health, and yes, mood. And how magical that our most famous native food should work to balance out our matching notorious lack of sunlight by providing that missing Vitamin D?
Salmon is also high in astaxanthin, a remarkable antioxidant that works to erase free radicals, a sort of 'rust' in the body, and another root of inflammation; astaxanthin has many benefits including lending our skin a beautiful glow.
And of course, salmon is a wonderful protein source, which we need for cell repair, lean muscle mass, neurotransmitters, detoxification processes, and satiety.
As quoted by 11-year-old Seattle resident Catie Running when asked about what she thinks of when she thinks of salmon: "I think it's really special that I get to live in a place where salmon exist." I agree.
This recipe utilizes the trim from butchering a whole salmon and can be substituted with any fish you like.
Melt the butter on the stovetop on low and once the salmon is properly cured rinse it off with cold running water and put in the pot with the melted butter. The butter should cover the salmon, if it doesn't add more. Keep the cooking temperature on low, cover the pot with a lid and cook for 30 minutes.
Now that the salmon is cool to the touch you can gently shred it and remove any bones or skin. This can be saved for a few weeks or eaten immediately.
Chop the shallots and combine them with the vinegar and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
Lay the raab out on platters garnish with lemon and zest juice. Spread a generous amount of salmon rillette on top and serve hot.
Lightly season each piece of salmon and allow it to sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Put the sheet tray with the salmon into the oven and cook them for 8 minutes.
Pre-heat the oven to 425. Thoroughly wash the turnips and the greens and remove the tops from the turnips setting the greens aside for later. Using a large sheet tray that has 1/4 in of salt layed down on it put the turnips cut side down onto the salt and cook in the oven for 30 minutes or until tender and brown.
while the turnips are cooking go through the greens and set aside all that are bright green and separate them from the stems. These can be chopped into ribbons and set aside for later in a large mixing bowl.
With the not so perfect turnip greens puree them with the olive oil, wood sorrel and a pinch of salt in a blender. this will be your dessing.
Once the turnips are cooked remove them sheet tray, making sure to remove all the salt from them, and combine them with the chopped greens and the dressing.
Gently toss the salad and season with lemon, salt and pepper, serve immediately.


The RAF Reserves support the RAF both in times of peace and war. The RAF Reserves have a well-earned reputation for retaining their volunteers, due in part to the satisfaction that is derived from doing varied and exciting jobs and because of the active social life which Squadron members enjoy. There is also plenty of opportunity for adventure training which includes activities such as skiing, canoeing, mountain climbing and many more.

Apple loses iPhone trademark in Brazil -- report
The company found out today from Brazilian regulators that it could not own the trademark originally registered to Gradiente Eletronica.
February 13, 2013 8:11 AM PST
Josh Lowensohn/CNET
Apple has lost its iPhone trademark in Brazil, a new report claims.
The BBC is reporting today, citing conversations with employees in the country's regulatory body, the Institute of Industry Property (INPI), that Gradiente Eletronica's registration for the name in 2000 has been validated. Apple, therefore, has no right to use the iPhone name in Brazil.
The INPI confirmed to the BBC, however, that Apple is planning to appeal the ruling.
The INPI ruling comes a little over a week after reports out of the country said that the regulatory body was planning to award the exclusive iPhone trademark to Gradiente.
Despite filing for the iPhone trademark in 2000, Gradiente did not actually put out its own product bearing the name until last December when it started selling Android-based handsets -- a wrinkle that Apple believed, would help it win the rights to the branding. Gradiente has said that it owns the exclusive rights to the iPhone name in Brazil through 2018.
The INPI's ruling reportedly relates only to the use of the iPhone trademark on handsets; Apple can still use the branding on any other product. Gradiente now has the right to sue the Cupertino, Calif.-based firm for exclusivity for handsets, according to the BBC.
Apple is certainly no stranger to battles over trademarks. In early 2007, the company settled a trademark-infringement case with Cisco Systems, which originally owned the iPhone moniker. Apple last year settled another lawsuit with China-based company Proview over the use of the iPad trademark. Proview netted $60 million in that deal.
It's not clear whether Gradiente is looking to settle the case and net millions or maintain the exclusivity of the iPhone branding. However, a report last week quoted a company official who said Gradiente would be "open to a dialogue" with Apple.
CNET has contacted Apple for comment on INPI's ruling. We will update this story when we have more information.
This story has been updated throughout the morning.

Q: Existence of J-Holomorphic Curves in Almost-Complex (or Symplectic) Manifolds Suppose I have a (let's say compact) symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$ and I choose an $\omega$-tame almost-complex structure $J$ on $M$.  (Edit: Actually, I think I only really care about the almost-complex structure $J$ here, and not at all about $\omega$.) My broad question is:

What is known about the existence theory of $J$-holomorphic curves in $M$?

This question is quite vague as stated.  The reason for the ambiguity is that I have no idea what sort of theorems I should expect.  Naively:

*

*Thinking about $J$-holomorphic disks (and $J$-holomorphic curves with boundary more generally): I'd be interested in learning about (say) $J$-holomorphic versions of the Dirichlet Problem or the Plateau Problem.

*Thinking about closed $J$-holomorphic spheres: I'd be interested in knowing when we can expect $J$-holomorphic curves to exist in every homotopy / homology class of $M$.
I'm guessing that at least some of these questions are completely naive -- true or false for obvious reasons, or completely hopeless, or just too ambiguous -- but I'd appreciate any clarification.

Slovak Jews want Germany to return money
By	JTA Staff	 October 23, 2000 9:00 am
PRAGUE, Oct. 23 (JTA) – Germany granted Slovakia's Jewish community a hearing to reclaim millions of dollars the wartime Slovak government allegedly stole from Jews and paid to the Nazis to deport tens of thousands of Jews to concentration camps.
The Central Union of Jewish Religious Communities in Slovakia is to put its case forward in a Berlin regional court next spring. The group claims up to $3.9 million was paid to Germany by the Nazi-puppet Slovak state.
In 1942, 57,800 Slovak Jews were deported to concentration camps. All but a handful were murdered.
A price of 500 Deutschmarks was placed on each head, but the group says official Slovak state records show that only a portion of the overall sum changed hands.
"This is not just a legal but a moral problem," said the Central Union's director, Jozef Weiss. "Slovakia was the only country during the war to actually pay for Jews to be sent to camps. Germany does have a responsibility."
According to Weiss, the money used to pay the Nazis did not come from the Slovak state budget but from assets confiscated from the country's Jewish community.
"The money was stolen from Jewish families in Slovakia," he said.
The court move was in part prompted by Slovakia's exclusion from the lion's share of the German government-supported $5.2 billion slave and forced labor compensation fund.
While Poland, the Czech Republic, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and the Claims Conference were recognized as official negotiating partners with the German industry-sponsored fund, Slovakia's Foreign Ministry failed to win direct participation in talks.
As a result, Slovakia was designated as one of the "Other Countries" that will have to share a smaller pot of just $3.5 million.
The exclusion angered the Slovak coordination committee, which is handling claims on behalf of an estimated 6,000 Slovak citizens, almost one-third of whom are Jewish. It claims Germany reneged on a promise to negotiate directly with Slovakia over its claims.
"This committee was not approved as a partner, and this is one reason why this legal action has begun," said Fero Alexander, chairman of the coordination committee, who also acts as the union's executive chairman.
"The court case is not just about money. We are talking about satisfaction and rehabilitation," he added.
But money does remain an issue for the Jewish community in Slovakia, Weiss said.
"The Jewish community was destroyed" in the war, "but there is a huge heritage in Slovakia," he said. "There are dozens of synagogues which are falling apart and we don't have the money to repair them."
The Slovak Foreign Ministry and the union are both stressing that the Berlin case is a separate issue from the question of slave and forced labor compensation.
The regional court in Berlin is slated to start considering the lawsuit on March 28.

My husband has Glioblastoma and I used Amedisys for his initial home nursing and therapies. They always came on time and called ahead to make the appointment (in this industry, that is something). They were skilled, caring, and attentive to my husband. I would definitely recommend this company with a high rating. They are conscientious about cleanliness and use current technology. Thanks, guys, I appreciate you!
i would encourage anyone to use another home health agency. if you have used this agency i would encourage you to get a copy of your medical records as it may surprise you of what is documented about you. i will never use them again. I do not even want to give them one star.


Beer and Fitness? Can it Be?
I was once asked an interesting question concerning drinking beer and exercising. It seems that a former Navy Radioman had developed quite a gut since retiring, and was curious about whether he should give up his beer to lose weight? Not only did the gentleman enjoy drinking about 2-4 beers daily, he had also quit exercising. Moderate beer consumption is actually healthy, so I set out to define "moderate" as well as educate on the basics of caloric intake and caloric expenditure. The radioman was not suffering from a beer belly but an INACTIVITY BELLY! Yes, you can still drink beer and be very fit.
Anything done in excess is naturally unhealthy. "Moderation" is defined by most doctors as 1-2 beers a day. And NO, you cannot save up through the week and catch up on the weekend drinking 10-12 beers in an evening. That is NOT moderation. There is even a US Beer Drinking Team that links beer enthusiasts and promotes moderation, responsibility, and healthy living.
The average can of beer has over 100 calories. Drinking one beer is equivalent to eating a chocolate chip cookie. Drinking four is equal to eating a Big Mac Hamburger. In order to lose weight, you have to burn off these extra calories as well as the other calories that you ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even the lightest of beers has the empty calories of alcohol, which is the cause of poor health if done in excess and without a regular exercise routine. Unfortunately, too many Americans live under one of the worst stereotypes placed on a human being – the BEER BELLY, or as I call it, the inactivity belly.
The "inactivity" belly is caused by excess calories in your diet AND lack of activity to burn the extra calories. The solution to lose your beer belly is as simple as calories in must be less than calories out (or expended through exercise).
There is no reason why you cannot have "six pack abs" and still drink a six pack a week. Once again, excessive beer drinking is not recommended by anyone in the health industry. If you simply enjoy drinking beer and are serious about your health, moderation in drinking alcohol and eating foods high in calories, combined with habitual daily exercise is your ticket to reaching your goals. I now have a series of Workout plans that cater to all levels of fitness and can help you with developing a healthy diet with proper food choices – the Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced 45 Day plans sold on PoliceLink's Fitness eBook Store. For those who are into strength training, I have recently developed a weight training plan called "Beer and Barbells" that allows you to use the additional calories of beer, or milk shakes if you are under 21, to gain mass and strength.

Mykhаilivkа
Burynskyi district
Sumskа region
Victims: 22
The population of Mykhailivka village (Buryn district, Sumy region) suffered from Holodomor-Genocide of 1932-1933. The names of 22 people were established, but the number of the Holodomor victims was much higher. In the village there is a mass burial place for the Holodomor victims on the territory of the former peasant cemetery. It was located to the north of the Buryn-Boschivka route, passing through the village, as well as to the east of the former village club and the Trinity Church (which was destroyed by the Soviet authorities).
The mass burial place of the Holodomor victims was destroyed by the Soviet authorities in 1962. At this place there is now the usual field.

The Blues attacker scored twice for Belgium in a European Championship qualifier at home and continued his brilliant form this season in front of goal.
He calmly converted a penalty after he was found inside the box and added another late on from close-range to secure three points.
Hazard has been in superb form for Chelsea this season, scoring 16 goals and supplying 11 assists across all competitions so far in 39 games.
The 28-year-old continued his golden touch on the international stage and is the talisman for Roberto Martinez's Belgium side, something that he's used to being in Maurizio Sarri's team too.
Belgium travel to Cyprus on Sunday for another qualifier and Chelsea fans will hope Hazard returns from the international break in full fitness.
Chelsea have the race for the top four and the Europa League to compete for in the remainder of the season, where they are going to need attacker Hazard at his dazzling best.
The winger should pick up some confidence during his games in the international break and needs to try bring that back to Stamford Bridge.
Eden Hazard International Masterclass what's new? Take his goals away and he's still class.
Eden Hazard is a counter attack specialist and is not compatible with the future of CFC.
Honestly Hazard is a demigod at penalties. Been banging them in effortlessly for years now & has around 3-4 different techniques to choose from each time.

Follow the wave of layoffs in technology: Spotify cuts 6% of its staff
There are about 600 jobs.
Spotifythe world leader in audio platforms, announced on Monday that it will cut 6% of its workforce, that is, some 600 jobs, thus joining the wave of layoffs among the technology giants.
This is the largest staff cut in the history of this Swedish company founded in 2006 in Stockholm and which reached more than 500 million subscribers. The announcement comes after Microsoft cut 10,000 jobs and Google 12,000.
"In retrospect, I have been too ambitious investing faster than our turnover growth," company CEO and co-founder Daniel Ek, 39, said in an online message to employees.
"For this reason, we reduce our staff by around 6% in the entire group," explained its director.
Spotify is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and at its open on Monday, shares rose 4.6% to $97.91.
"In the next few hours, individual interviews will be held with the affected employees," Ek explained.
Although Spotify has been occasionally profitable, the company used to post losses for several yearsdespite the lightning growth in its number of subscribers and the advantage it gains over its competitors, such as Apple Music.
The company will publish its annual results on January 31.
"As you know, we have made a considerable effort in recent months to reduce our costs, but it just hasn't been enough"Ek added.
According to the Scandinavian billionaire, Spotify's investments grew twice as fast as its revenue last year.
"In the long term it would be unfeasible in any context, but in a difficult environment at the macroeconomic level, it will be even more difficult to cover the hole," he stressed.

In recent years, Spotify has also invested more than one billion euros in the podcast industry, in which it has become a world leader. But the benefits of this investment are still unknown, according to analysts.
Betting on this audio format also brought him controversy, such as when American star Joe Rogan was accused of spreading false news on his shows.
At the end of September, the platform had about 456 million subscribers. A part, 195 million, pay for the service. The group aspires to have one billion users by 2030.
Its annual turnover reached 9,600 million euros in 2021 [10.400 millones de dólares] –most of it coming from paying subscribers– and the number of employees tripled in five years to reach 9,800 at the end of September.
Spotify's announcement follows a series of layoff plans announced by big tech groups in recent weeks.
Following layoffs at Amazon, Meta and Microsoft, Google announced on Saturday that it will cut 12,000 jobs worldwide, that is, more than the 6% of its troops. On Wednesday, Microsoft announced that it would make 10,000 layoffs by April.
After what Elon Musk to buy Twitterat the beginning of November 2022, the social network launched a forceful cut plan that affected half of its 7,500 workers.
To finance the purchase, which cost 44,000 million dollars, the billionaire borrowed heavily from the company, whose accounts were already weak, since it registered a significant deficit in the first two quarters of 2022.
The environment is thus shaken by a huge number of employees who are left without their jobs.

Indian woman faces arrest for carrying 'Free Kashmir' placard
Activists criticise police move to file case against Mumbai woman for raising 'Free Kashmir' poster at a protest rally.

Mumbai, India - Activists and political analysts in India have criticised Mumbai police for launching an investigation against a woman for holding a "Free Kashmir" poster during a protest against mob violence inside New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).
The woman has since apologised for carrying the placard during the 24-hour sit-in staged at the iconic Gateway of India located in the financial hub of Mumbai along with similar solidarity protests across many Indian cities.

The protesters chanted slogans, recited poetry, sang songs, and carried posters but a senior leader from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) raised an objection to the "Free Kashmir" poster.
Modi's Hindu nationalist government stripped the Indian-administered Kashmir's special status and imposed a lockdown in the region on August 5. Since then, the Muslim-majority region has largely been without internet access and thousands of people, including pro-India politicians, have been thrown into jail.

— ANI (@ANI) January 6, 2020
The Mumbai police spokesman, Deputy Commissioner of Police Pranay Ashok, said a complaint has been filed under section 153(B) of the Indian Penal Code against the woman for displaying the poster.
If found guilty, she faces up to three years of imprisonment or fine or both.
"We will look into whether the incident is true, and what was her motive behind it," Ashok told Al Jazeera.
'Serious infringement of individual rights'
In a video message on Facebook, Mehek Mirza Prabhu, the woman with the poster, said the incident has been "blown out of proportion".
Students have realised that this regime is not doing much for them. And the minorities have realised they need to fight back.
Suhas Palshikar, political scientist
"The placard meant freedom to express themselves, freedom from the internet lockdown which many people have been voicing for," she said. "I was voicing my solidarity for basic constitutional right. This situation is scary for a woman like me. If by being naive in understanding the impact it would have, and in the process create this stir. I apologise."
Suhas Palshikar, a political scientist based in Pune city, called the police complaint a "serious infringement of individual rights".
"Everyone these days is worried of being branded as anti-national," he said, explaining why Kashmir is a no go for most Indians.
"There is a misconception among people that even talking about autonomy to Kashmir, which was part of the Indian constitution, is seen as tantamount to anti-national activity."
The ruling BJP has long campaigned against Article 370 of the Indian constitution that granted Kashmir a measure of autonomy. After Modi won re-election in a landslide victory in May, his government moved to scrap Kashmir's autonomy.
While the authorities in Mumbai have been quick to file a complaint against Prabhu over the poster, the Delhi police have not made a single arrest in connection with the assault on the students of JNU two days ago.
In an FIR, the police have admitted to being witness to a mob attacking students, but did not do anything to protect them. Several videos and reports have pointed towards the involvement of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the student wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the parent organisation of the BJP.
Instead, Delhi police filed a complaint against the JNU student's union president, Aishe Ghosh, for allegedly vandalising on-campus property a day before the mob attack on Sunday. Ghosh has endured head injuries during the Sunday's attack.
Protest against citizenship law
The protests following the attack in JNU come as a series of organic agitations going on across the country since the Modi government pushed through a legislation on citizenship last month.
The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) gives nationality to persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, but it singles out Muslims from seeking refuge in India, drawing parallels with Myanmar's refugee and citizenship policy.
Critics say that the CAA is part of Modi government's Hindu supremacist agenda and runs against the spirit of India's secular constitution.
Government's decision to implement nationwide counting of citizenship (National Register of Citizens) has caused alarm among India's largest minority, Muslims, who have held mass protests in the past several weeks. More than 20 people have been killed in police action.
Indians have protested against police brutality on students at the Jamia Millia Islamia university, Aligarh Muslim University and the JNU.
Teesta Setalvad, an activist based in Mumbai, said, "Muslims have realised they are a political target."
"But non-Muslims, because they believe in constitutional principle of parity, have also taken to the streets, which is heartening," she told Al Jazeera.
"People have realised that having documentary proof is only a privilege of the elite. The poor and marginalised would be queueing up to prove their existence."
Agitations in Mumbai have hit headlines, including the one where Bollywood celebrities took to streets, and sang songs, recited poems. Top Bollywood star Deepika Padukone visited the JNU campus on Tuesday to show her solidarity with students.
Palshikar said the protests are a result of a combination of factors along with the NRC and the CAA.
"Students have realised that this regime is not doing much for them," he said. "And the minorities have realised they need to fight back."


Children in Norway increasingly spend time online, where they play games, create and share videos and hang out with friends. Drawing on fieldwork among immigrant families in Norway, this article investigates the use of avatars to facilitate temporal play in children's online film-making. By creating animated films starring their own and their friends' avatars, children playfully engage with a wide range of imagined future selves.

Imagine if you had financial troubles, marriage problems, children on drugs—would you still trust God? Cheryl's story.
Cheryl has been put through the fire. God's saints often experience such trials. Cheryl dealt with financial difficulties; God brought her through. She suffered through severe marital challenges; God healed her marriage. She watched her son get strung out on drugs and stay on them for twenty years; God healed him of his addictions. Cheryl is still praising God through all of it. Amazing. Let's hope we have such strong faith when faced with life's trials—trials that are guaranteed to come.
Continue to seek God even when times are tough—He will hear your prayers. Check out Laudia's testimony.
Sometimes it feels as if we're alone in this world. But as Laudia points out, God honors our prayers when we sincerely seek Him. We can all learn Laudia's example. Even when times are tough, even when we don't know why things seem to be going poorly—even then—we need to continue to pray, seek, and ask God for His help. He will be faithful.
James' personal testimony will amaze you. Find out how his life was transformed by the Jesus of the Bible.
I had my own body shop and all the drugs I wanted and I thought life was going really good. I began selling heroin, cocaine, meth, and weed by the pounds. Again much partying led to more trouble with the law and I finally had to sign the shop back over to the man I was buying it from. I went to Missouri, Tennessee, and Mississippi causing trouble. In Mississippi, I was living on a house boat and I got involved in killing two people over drugs. Not willing to face these charges, I began to run again.
Are you at the end of your rope? Ready to give up on life? Read this powerful testimony of deliverance.
Kenneth lived a life of hard-core drugs and violence. Living his life for the Jesus of the Bible was not in his plans. But God has a way of finding and setting free those who are at the end of their rope . . .
I took a gun and went to a riverbank in Texas. It was there on a hot sunny day that I would take my last breath. On that clear sunny day, with blue skies, I knelt down against a tree and lifted the gun up. As I went to pull the trigger . . .
Candice prayed—and God heard her prayer.
Sometimes, in our relationship with God, we don't know what's best. We know what we want, and we struggle with whether or not it's the right thing—whether it's what God really wants for us. Candice loved a man, but he wasn't a Christian. Check out her prayers and how God answered her.

Not in This Lifetime Tour fue una gira mundial realizada por el grupo estadounidense de hard rock Guns N' Roses, marcada por el regreso de los miembros clásicos Slash y Duff McKagan. Es la primera vez, desde el Use Your Illusion Tour en 1993, que el cantante Axl Rose, el bajista Duff McKagan y el guitarrista Slash comparten escenario, tras superar las fuertes diferencias que tuvieron por años, sobre todo Slash con Axl, una de las enemistades más grandes en la historia del rock y la música. Dando así a muchas peleas mediáticas las cuales fueron "limadas" o fueron dejadas atrás con una reconciliación y así nace el Not In This Lifetime Tour, además la tecladista Melissa Reese se une al grupo para esta gira.
A pesar de que la gira debía terminar en primera instancia en octubre de 2017 (y diciembre de 2018), está se tuvo que extender hasta noviembre de 2019, debido al gran éxito y la alta convocatoria que ésta estaba presentado.

Oficialmente la gira comenzó el 8 de abril de 2016 y finalizó el 2 de noviembre de 2019 en la misma ciudad de Las Vegas, Estados Unidos las dos veces, la gira ha recorrido todos los continentes y también casi todos los países del orbe.
La misma se consagró como la segunda gira musical más millonaria y exitosa de la historia, también se ha convertido en la cita musical más extensa de la historia.
Siendo asimismo entre el periodo de los años 2016 y 2017 la más exitosa de esos respectivos años.
La gira ha tenido una asistencia de 30 mil espectadores en promedio por concierto.

El nombre de la gira "Not In This Lifetime" (en español, "No en esta vida"), hace referencia a la respuesta que le dio Axl Rose, en 2012, a un periodista que le preguntaba si había alguna posibilidad que el grupo se reuniera.

El baterista original Steven Adler también participa en los recitales de Buenos Aires el 4 y 5 de noviembre de 2016, en el Estadio Monumental River Plate, luego de volver a tocar con ellos el 6 de julio de 2016, en Cincinnati, algo que no hacía desde 1990. Interpreta las canciones "Out Ta Get Me" y "My Michelle".

La gira norteamericana en 2016 sumó 117 millones de dólares de taquilla y más de un millón de espectadores.

La gira es la más cara del 2016 recaudando 5.5 millones de dólares por show, lo cual convierte a la banda ícono del hard rock en la banda más cara del mundo. Con 700 millones de dólares de taquilla, esta gira figura en el segundo puesto de las más recaudadoras de la historia.

Historia del tour
La historia del comienzo de este tour se remonta a la primavera norteamericana del 2015 donde Paul Tollet organizador del Festival de Música y Artes de Coachella Valley estuvo en permanente contacto con Axl Rose lo cual el propio Rose creyó que lo que decía Tollet era serio y llevó a Axl a hablar con su personal para llevar las cosas adelante e iniciar una negociación. Axl Rose habló con uno de los managers de la banda, Fernando Lebeis al cual le pidió que consiguiera el número de teléfono de Slash para llevar a cabo la tan ansiada reunión de los Guns N' Roses.

En primera instancia, la reunión solamente sería por el festival de Coachella pero Rose sabía que no sería así ya que esta reunión involucraría a muchas personas y agencias y era muy posible un tour con la banda reunida, lo cual llevó a Rose a tomar muy considerablemente las posibilidades de un nuevo tour. Finalmente Axl Rose llamó a Slash pero por ese entonces Slash se encontraba de gira con su banda "Slash ft Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators" lo cual retrasó un poco el primer encuentro entre Rose, McKagan y Slash. Luego de la finalización de la gira de Slash con su banda, en octubre de 2015 y por primera vez en 23 años, Axl Rose y Slash se verían las caras nuevamente en casa de Axl en el mes de octubre. Luego de la cena con Slash, Axl se encontró con Duff McKagan (Con quien retomó contacto a comienzos del 2014) para conversar y planear una futura gira. Axl encargó a su personal de empezar a promocionar una reunión histórica para el mundo de la música en especial del rock. A la brevedad, comenzaron los ensayos de la formación clásica de la banda, mientras que miembros alternativos se despedían de ella para dar paso a algo tan ansiado por todos los fanes, Axl, Duff y Slash juntos nuevamente. Ron Thal dio paso al costado en diciembre del 2014, mientras que el guitarra líder DJ Ashba dejaría la banda en julio del 2015, por otro lado el segundo tecladista y sintetizadores, Chris Pitman abandonaría la banda a comienzos de 2016 por desacuerdo con la reunión de miembros originales.

Una vez pasadas las sesiones de ensayo, según el mismo Axl Rose "Las pruebas de sonido fueron muy buenas, luego llegó la hora de cantar y todo se fue dando" Axl también comentaría en una entrevista en Brasil que las canciones del Chinese Democracy fueron ensayadas por propia iniciativa de Slash y Duff Mckagan, también se trabajó con el baterista Frank Ferrer para coordinar tiempo y golpes de todas las canciones.

El tour inició oficialmente el 1 de abril de 2016 en el Bar Troubadour de Los Ángeles con la formación semi-clásica de Guns N' Roses: Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Richard Fortus, Dizzy Reed, Frank Ferrer y la recientemente incorporada en los sintetizadores y primera mujer en la historia de Guns N' Roses Melissa Reese. Axl Rose se fracturó el pie durante ese primer concierto lo cual le obligó a cantar sentado en un sillón durante dos meses.

Después de etapas en Estados Unidos, América latina, Asia y Oceanía, la gira llega a Europa en mayo de 2017.

El grupo también fue cabeza de cartel del Festival de Coachella, los días 16 y 23 de abril. El 16 de abril, el guitarrista Angus Young sube al escenario con Guns N' Roses para tocar dos canciones, mientras que AC/DC anuncia que Axl Rose sustituye a Brian Johnson, para la gira europea (mayo) y norteamericana (septiembre) del "Rock or Bust World Tour".

El grupo actuó en México el 19 y 20 de abril de 2016 con The Cult abriendo el telón. En julio del 2016 se confirma la llegada de la banda a Sudamérica, donde hará presentaciones en países como Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Perú y México en los meses de octubre y noviembre.

En enero la banda toca en Japón y en febrero la banda se presenta en Australia, y Además se presentan en Nueva Zelanda, Tailandia y Dubái por primera vez en su carrera. La gira llega a Europa en mayo de 2017 con fechas en Bilbao y Madrid y muchos más países. En junio de 2018, el grupo vuelve a Europa.

En noviembre de 2018, después de una escala en México, vuelan hacia Asia, para dar otra escala en África para, al parecer, finalizar la gira en Hawáii el 8 de diciembre de 2018. Entre abril y junio de 2019, se anuncian varias fechas por USA y en varios festivales en dicho país y en México para entre septiembre y noviembre de 2019.

Cabe destacar que el baterista Steven Adler se suma a la gira reunión de Guns N' Roses como baterista invitado (Cincinnati, Nashville, Los Ángeles y Buenos Aires).

Hasta el momento la banda pasó por países como Estados Unidos, Canadá, México, Chile, Perú, Argentina, Brasil, Colombia y Costa Rica. En este tour se "revivieron" canciones como: Double Talkin' Jive (no tocada desde 1993), Coma (no tocada desde 1993) o New Rose (debut en vivo en 2016), como también versiones de Black Hole Sun en tributo al fallecido Chris Cornell, Wichita Lineman de Glen Campbell y I Feel Good de James Brown. En mayo de 2017, la gira llega a Europa e Israel.

El 20 de julio de 2017, el grupo toca en el mítico Apollo Theater de Nueva York coincidiendo con el 30 aniversario de la salida del álbum Appetite for Destruction.

El 3 de junio de 2018, en Berlín, el grupo interpreta por primera vez la canción Slither de Velvet Revolver, y el 6 de junio, la banda desempolva la canción Shadow Of Your Love, canción que quedó descartada del Appetite For Destruction, y que se incluyó en el box-set que la banda lanzó el 28 de junio llamado Appetite For Destruction (Super Deluxe Edition), en el que se incluyen 4CDs del disco masterizado, y sesiones de grabación en 1986, etc.

El 7 de octubre de 2019, en Wichita, la banda interpreta la canción "Locomotive" (del Use Your Illusion II, 1991) después de 27 años sin ser tocada, la última vez había sido el 20 de febrero de 1992 en Tokio, Japón, durante la etapa del Use Your Illusion Tour, y el 23 de octubre, en Oklahoma City, interpretan "Dead Horse" (del Use Your Illusion I, 1991), después de no ser tocada por 26 años, desde el 17 de julio de 1993, en el Estadio River Plate, en el último show de la formación clásica de la banda, y en el cierre del Use Your Illusion Tour.

Después de una corta pero exitosa gira por Estados Unidos y México (incluyendo algunos festivales en USA) a fines de 2019, la gira finaliza el 1° y 2 de noviembre de 2019 con dos noches seguidas en The Colosseum at Caesars Palace de Las Vegas a sala llena, en la misma ciudad donde empezó oficialmente la gira.

Windhoek – Implications of rising tensions and a possible collapse of China/US trade negotiations and a UK no-deal withdrawal from the European Union (EU) has the potential to undermine business and investment confidence for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) economies.
This was the view expressed by Bank of Namibia (BoN) Deputy-Governor Ebson Uanguta, who added that the deadlock between China and the USA – the world's two largest economies – could risk global economic growth and SADC will not be spared.
The Donald Trump administration has been pressuring China to alter its trade policies to favour the US, while China has been enforcing its own tariffs, leading to tensions between the two economic giants.
There has also been growing anxiety over UK's exit from the EU, dubbed Brexit, with trading partners anxious over the consequences of Britain's exit from the European Union.
While speaking at the Bank of Namibia's Monetary Policy announcement, Uanguta stressed that the UK is not a small economy and if it were to walk out of the EU, there would be key risks involved for the southern African region.
Namibia's Ambassador to the EU, Dr Kaire Mbuende, expressed fears that the UK could give priority to large markets such as the US, Japan and China, leaving African markets at the bottom of the priority list should it exit the EU.
British Prime Minister Theresa May, whose deal was rejected by an overwhelming 432 votes to 202 votes in January this year, survived a no-confidence vote as British MPs are split on the impact of a no-deal Brexit.
May's Brexit deal, also known as the Withdrawal Agreement, aimed to work out a settlement, which would allow the UK to exit the EU seamlessly.
This includes a transition over a limited period of between March 29 (2019) to December 2020 to preserve stability with their trade partners during free trade negotiations and political and security agreements.
During that period, the UK would have no negotiating rights in matters of the EU, but would still continue to contribute to the EU budget, while the transition period could also be extended.
The Britons voted on 23 June 2016 to leave the EU, following 2015 Conservative election victory, which activated a manifesto pledging to hold an in/out referendum on Britain's membership of the EU by the end of 2017.
Among advantages of the UK leaving the EU is immediate cost-saving, as the country would no longer have to contribute to the EU budget and it would be free to establish its own trade agreements.
If there is no-deal agreement, predictions are that the UK would automatically fall back on World Trade Organization (WTO) trade terms, which would have dire consequences.
Those terms could automatically apply to UK trade with the EU and other countries with which the EU has free-trade deals, which could see an increase in tariffs, while the movement of people will be affected as they may need visas out of Britain.
The average EU tariff is about 2.6% for non-agricultural products, while under WTO rules goods could be taxed at 10% up to 35 every time they cross the UK-EU border.
Africa's trade with the EU has grown by 36% while EU's investment stocks represent 40% of foreign direct investment in Africa and the continent receives on average 22 billion euro in EU Official Development, according to the European Union statistics.
While this may be the case, the future of the economic partnership agreement (EPA) between SADC countries and the EU came under scrutiny amid criticism of trade imbalances, friction and failure to create sustainable development in the Southern African region when the joint council of economic partners met in Cape Town in February this year.
Other critics have also found fault with the EPA for seemingly prioritising international markets at the expense of regional integration efforts.
The EPA was provisionally implemented in October 2016, but came into effect in February 2018, following years of negotiations since the 2000s, and protests from a discontented civil society that felt excluded from such negotiations.
Critics also hold that the EPA disadvantages countries that are at different levels of development, which could disturb the flow of their production, waste government resources and increase poverty.
The EPA is a reciprocal trade agreement under the umbrella of the Cotonou Agreement, under which all parties commit to trade liberalisation.
The EU signed the SADC EPA with Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and eSwatini in 2016, giving those countries free access to the EU market without any duty or quotas, whereas the EU gets preferential access to those countries for agricultural products including wheat, barley, cheese and pork, as well as trademark protection.
Mozambique joined in February 2018, while the other six members of SADC, namely the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Zambia and Zimbabwe are also negotiating EPAs with the EU as part of other regional groups.
SADC is EU's largest trading partner, with South Africa accounting for the largest part of EU imports from and EU exports to the region.
Diamonds from South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho and Namibia constitute the largest dominant share of exports to the EU, while beef from Botswana, fish from Namibia, sugar from Swaziland, oil from Angola and aluminium from Mozambique also account for large scale exports.
South Africa's exports to the EU range from fruits to platinum and manufactured goods to wine.
SADC countries and the European Union (EU) expressed the need for raising investment, increased manufacturing capacity, sustainable employment and diversified exports to enable the full implementation of the EPA.


Apple net income jumps 70%… 14.1m iphones sold!
Apple is on a tear….
Apple Inc. said Monday that net income for the most recent quarter soared 70 percent on strong sales of iPhones.
Apple sold 14.1 million iPhones from July through September, more than the 12 million or so analysts were looking for.
Apple Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer said in an interview that had the company been able to make more iPhones, that number would have been even higher.
It sold 4.2 million of its tablet computer, the iPad, fewer than the approximately 5 million that analysts, on average, had expected. Oppenheimer said the company was able to increase production of the iPad toward the end of the quarter.
Apple's net income rose to $4.3 billion, or $4.64 per share, from $2.5 billion, or $2.77 per share, in the same period last year.
Revenue jumped 67 percent to $20.3 billion from $12.2 billion last year.
Both revenue and net income were record amounts for Apple. The company also did significantly better than Wall Street analysts expected. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect Apple to earn $4.08 per share on $18.9 billion in revenue.
"When you're shipping the best products ever, these are the results you expect to see," Oppenheimer said.

The Fact Checking Pretension - 06/16
By Rich Trzupek
Turns out that the COVID-19 was more than likely engineered by the Red Chinese in Wuhan and, through their incompetence, released into the world. The Red Chinese government then launched a disinformation campaign which the mainstream media in the US pretty much latched onto hook, line and sinker.
A certain president, whose name escapes me, pretty much nailed the situation at the time, but was dismissed by the MSM, the opposition party and some members of his own party as a racist conspiracy theorist. Leading us to the question: Why is the MSM covering stories based on whom their coverage helps or hurts, rather than attempting to accurately glean the truth of the story and letting the dust settle?
Turns out that the president whose name escapes my mind did not order Lafayette Square cleared before he strolled to St. John's Church last June. Despite the hysterical attempts of useful media idiots like Jim Acosta and Anderson Cooper to cling to the official "martial law" narrative, Inspector General Mark Greenblatt's report concluded that: "...the evidence established that relevant (Park Police) officials had made those decisions and had begun implementing the operational plan several hours before they knew of a potential presidential visit to the park, which occurred later that day."
Now that their guy is in office, an increasing number of left-leaning MSM journalists are publicly wondering whether the best way to cover the issues of the day is to succumb to knee-jerk reactions that involve winning and losing rather than soberly presenting facts without regard to what ideologies those facts may or may not support in the public sphere.
As a scientist and an expert in my particular field, I think I'm in a position to explain this phenomenon more than most. Believe it or not, I have a number of liberal friends, many of whom are members of the Democrat party. We often disagree about issues of course, but we almost always disagree respectfully. For the most part I think they believe I am improperly informed or lack understanding. I basically feel the same way about them.
What distinguishes my liberal friends from those anonymous liberal correspondents who write to me from within the protection of the interwebs is that my friends are almost never disrespectful or insulting, while my anonymous correspondents almost always are. I think the supposedly absolute but really nebulous concept of "fact checking" is the source of the difference.
We have some people – right, left and middle – who understand that the great issues of the day are complex enough that it's irresponsible to trust our perception of reality to journalists whose personal understanding of those complexities is practically non-existent and whose ability to identify neutral experts to rely upon is equally abysmal. We have another group of people – again, left, right and middle – who believe that journalists belonging to the MSM are multi-skilled enough to personally evaluate today's highly technical topics or to personally vet self-proclaimed experts in a particular field.
The talking point on the left admonishes us to "follow the science." The reality is that we should "follow where the science came from" before we act upon it. That does not mean that we ought to focus on the motivations of those who make this argument or that, but rather that we do our level best to personally understand as much as the science as we can. More than that, we should insist that those advocating for a particular policy personally understand as much of the science and as much of what qualifies as expertise as is humanly possible.

On the aforementioned Woodbridge, NJ, beertrip, I also got the chance to see JJ Bittings, a brewpub in an old train station. Since it's a brewpub, it has no label art, but it does have some great interior design. I grabbed a couple shots.
The first one, though backlit, gives you a sense of what it looks like to look up from the bar area on a sunny day. The brewhouse is on a loft on the third floor, and the layout of the place allows you to see up into the rafters. In nice weather, it looks spectacular enough that if the bartenders were blue it would resemble a scene out of Avatar.
Also, I'm a fan of the carved-wood tap handles.
This is just a big piece of folk art hanging opposite the brewhouse on a massive brick wall over the second floor.
Again, it's hard to capture in still shots, but the interior design (and very good beer) make it worth the stop for beer road trippers.

Impact of PRC Tort Law on IPR Infringement
By King and Wood on August 6, 2010
Posted in Intellectual Property
By Shi Yusheng and Xia Fan, King & Wood's IP Litigation Department
The newly promulgated Tort Law of the People's Republic of China came into force on July 1, 2010. The Tort Law, positions itself as a fundamental doctrine in the protection of one's civil and property rights in China. Intellectual property rights, such as copyrights, patent rights, trademark rights, are included in the scope of protection under the Tort Law. Accordingly, relevant provisions of the Tort Law will have substantial impact on IPR infringement. While there are many intersects, one major impact is discussed below.
Before the promulgation of the Tort Law, the relevant IP laws, such as the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China ("Trademark Law"), the Patent Law of the People's Republic of China ("Patent Law"), and the Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China ("Copyright Law"), do not address issues in relation to contributory infringement and consequential liability.
Contributory infringement of IPRs refers to an act where a party provides assistance to another party in their IPR infringement, for example, intentionally providing an operations site for counterfeiters or intentionally providing materials or components to counterfeiters for manufacturing patented products. In practice, there is also no consensus on how to determine legal liabilities for contributory infringement. For example, Paragraph 2 of Article 50 of the Implementing Regulations of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China ("Implementing Regulations") listed a number of acts which can be deemed as contributory infringement of trademark rights. However, the list cannot cover all types of such infringement. Similarly, the Beijing Higher People's Court issued the Opinions on Patent Infringement Issues (Trial Implementation) ("Opinions") in 2001, in which the Court provided more specific descriptions on determination of contributory infringement of patents.
In practice, the Opinions may only be used as reference in local patent infringement trials, and lack legislative authority in all patent infringement trials nationwide. Furthermore, the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Issues Relating to Application of Law in the Trial of Copyright Disputes over Computer Network ("Interpretation on Copyright Disputes") and the Regulations on the Protection of the Right to Network Dissemination of Information ("Regulations on Information Dissemination") regulate contributory infringement acts in cases in relating to internet copyright infringement, but there are also insufficiencies in relation to the applications of these laws and regulations.
An increasing number of IPR infringement lawsuits involve claims against infringers for contributory infringement. For example, in Louis Vuitton v. the Beijing Xiushui Haosen Clothing Market Company and Taiyuan Heavy Machinery Group Company v. Taiyuan Electronic Systems Engineering Corporation, there were no statutes which provided direct reference to contributory infringement. As such, the judges could only rely on the provisions regarding contributory infringement of civil rights in the General Principles of the Civil Law of the People's Republic of China ("General Principles"). However, the General Principles merely address contributory infringement in principle and does not provide clear indications as to whether the party in contributory infringement who provide help to the infringers of if direct infringement bears legal liability or the type of such liability. In short, there is a lack of a legislative framework the People's Courts can apply when determining the legal liabilities of contributory infringement in IPR infringement trials.
The Tort Law fills the legislative void and solidifies the legal basis in preventing contributory IPR infringement. Paragraph 1 of Article 9 of the Tort Law provides that "[a] person who abets or assists another person in committing a tort shall be jointly and severally liable with the tortfeasor." This is to say that, a person who assists another person's tortious infringement conduct in relation to IPR will constitute contributory infringement and shall be jointly liable. Compared with the listing methodology used in the Implementing Regulations, the expression of "assist" enables judges to significantly expand the room for judicial application of this law.

Christmas is only days away (from the time I'm writing this) and the holidays are a great way to spend time with the family. Here at Niagara Inflatables we love treats, so we've come up with a list of 5 Simple Christmas Treats that you can make at home that look and taste great too!
We've also compiled this list to be quite economical as many share similar ingredients. Enjoy!
Back in October for our A Nightmare on 33 Elm Street event, we made a similar treat that looked like zombie fingers. To make the pretzels more festive, dip some pretzel rods into some melted white chocolate. I melt chocolate wafers in a coffee mug in the microwave. And before they cool sprinkle on various holiday coloured sprinkles. Then let them dry on some parchment paper. Voila! Instant holiday snack. View the detailed recipie here.
While you are picking up your White Chocolate Candy Melts, you can also get some regular chocolate candy melts. With the same process, melt the chocolate and dip a marshmallow on a stick to cover it completely. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out. While still liquid, add the broken pretzel rings as antlers and stick in eyes and nose. Leave to dry by sticking into a foam block. These reindeer pops are adorable and are made even cuter when you tie a ribbon as a collar. Find the full Reindeer Pop Recipe here.
Everyone loves popcorn and it's an inexpensive treat. Christmasize it by making covering it with caramel flavouring and Christmas colours. Even though this is a fairly inexpensive treat, there are quite a few steps to making it. I would suggest making it into a large amount and then storing it in air tight containers so that you can snack on this all season long or give it freshly wrapped in clear cellophane bags as gifts.

Need a lot of popcorn for an event? Rent a commercial popcorn machine and other fun foods from Ontario's #1 event rental service.
Make another treat using the same ingredients as treats 2 and 3. Using popcorn, marshmallows and sticks, you can make a crunchy corn pop. This one is sure to get sticky and messy. Kids will love it. By mixing melted marshmallows, popcorn and flavours by hand into balls, this one make a yummy sticky treat. All you need to add is some butter and flavoured (peppermint) baking chips. Here is the detailed recipe card.
Make this with your gingerbread house and use it as tiny trees on the lawn and make some extra for some ice cream afterwards. Add green food colouring to your gingerbread house icing sugar and then pipe it onto your waffle or standard ice cream cones. Use your candies to dress as ornaments and dazzle. If you make a few, you can turn your trees upside down and add a scoop of ice cream.
