CEG-TEK: Naughty or Nice?
September 26, 2020 November 17, 2015 by Rob Cashman (Author, Owner of the Cashman Law Firm, PLLC)
Copyright Enforcement Group (CEG-TEK) has sent possibly hundreds of thousands of letters to internet users accused of downloading copyrighted content via bittorrent. In their letters, they invoke the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) as the justification for their "intellectual property (IP) enforcement" activities. They claim to be the good guys, but are they? Are they "naughty or nice"?
CEG-TEK claims to be the good guys — they stop piracy, and as a result of their efforts, fewer people download on the ISPs's networks (a social "good" and a "win" for the copyright holders). They have stopped the copyright troll lawsuits, for the moment. And, although they are charging $300 per title for each downloaded movie (sometimes higher) for what is often an accidental "click of the mouse," they claim that they are not "bad" or "vindictive" like their Rightscorp competitor, which charges only $20 per title, but then sues the accused downloaders in federal courts, and then even go so far as contacting the ISPs in order to attempt to shut down the internet accounts of those accused of downloading their clients' copyrighted titles via bittorrent.
But then again, CEG-TEK is a business. While I have had success negotiating away cases against veterans, the elderly, and in many cases, college kids, CEG-TEK has taken a number of steps which at best would be questionable.
Most relevant is the "admission of guilt" clause in their settlement agreements, which at the time of writing this article has flipped back to the version which does not include this clause. Months ago, when CEG-TEK expanded into Canada and then Australia, the settlement agreements which released those who have settled from liability included the following clause:
[For those of you who cannot see the image, it says, "…in the event of a (i) failure to clear, (ii) chargeback, (iii) cancellation, (iv) failure to complete…this Release shall be considered admissible and conclusive evidence of RELEASEE's infringement of the copyright in the Work and that RELEASEE will be liable to CONTENT COPYRIGHT OWNER for all damages, statutory and/or otherwise, for such infringement plus attorney fees plus costs as of the Settlement Date…" (emphasis added)]
[Now as a side note, for those who are particular about formatting and details, note that CEG-TEK placed that inflammatory clause at the bottom of Page 2, and they split it up where half of it is at the bottom of the page, and the other half is at the top of the next page, where even a careful individual might not read the clause in its entirety because the inflammatory clause is separated by being on different pages.]
The problem with such a clause admitting guilt is that it is binding on an unsuspecting individual who tries to settle the claims against him by paying with a credit card. How? These contracts are available to the individual paying the settlement fee on the CopyrightSettlements.com website to review, and upon processing the credit card payment, they agree to the terms contained within the contract.
Then, when their credit card transaction fails (either because their card is not accepted by CEG-TEK's website, or because the transaction is declined, or, if through no fault of their own, because of the website itself the bank flags the transaction as suspicious (fraud alert for a large online charge) and fails to approve the transaction), at that point, the individual has admitted guilt to copyright infringement, which carries a $150,000 statutory fine for each title downloaded. Assume for the moment that the individual has five (5) cases. Multiply this $150,000 amount by five separate copyright holders, and the individual could be looking at 5 x $150,000 lawsuits (= $750,000 in statutory damages separated into multiple lawsuits filed by different copyright holders all of whom hired CEG-TEK as their agent to enforce their copyrights) where the internet user has already admitted guilt.
Then, when the confused internet user who tried to settle calls CEG-TEK on the phone already having admitted guilt, what sort of leverage does the individual have if they are asked for more than $300 per title? Legally, they likely have no defense because according to the terms of the agreement, they already admitted guilt — even if the credit card transaction failing was not their fault.
So… Copyright Enforcement Group may be the "good guys" because they let attorneys negotiate away cases for vets, old ladies, and elderly gentlemen who don't realize that they should be using a VPN when they download adult content, and CEG-TEK may serve the public good by demonstrating that piracy has gone down because of their efforts. While this is all true, remember: watch their contract, because caveat emptor still applies.
I don't want to make this into a "you should have hired an attorney for your $300 matter" blog entry, but really, this is but one example of how even the "good guys" need to be approached with caution, and better yet, through a proxy by using an attorney. [I won't even go into the conspiracy theories about CEG-TEK trying to get more than the $300 per title that is listed on the website.] Let's stick to the facts and look at their contract to judge them on whether they are truly "naughty or nice."
[2017 UPDATE: Carl Crowell has created a new entity called RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT which has reverse-engineered CEG-TEK's proprietary DMCA copyright infringement notice system. Many of you have visited CEG-TEK links thinking that RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT was CEG-TEK, but really they are an 'evil twin' competitor. Since their methodologies are nearly identical, this article is still very useful.]

The Sunshine State: No longer a "Happy" place for copyright trolls.
April 4, 2017 January 15, 2013 by Rob Cashman (Author, Owner of the Cashman Law Firm, PLLC)
A number of copyright trolls hit a snag when the judges in both the Middle District of Florida (FLMD) and the Northern District of Florida (FLND) froze a whole slew of cases, consolidated some, and severed many others. This is just a simple indication that 1) federal judges in Florida are talking to one another, and 2) Florida has caught on to the copyright trolls' extortion scheme.
In the Northern District of Florida, the mass bittorrent lawsuit West Coast Productions, Inc. v. Does 1-581 (Case No. 5:12-cv-00277) was "smoked," resulting in all defendants [except one] being severed and dismissed from the case. Judge Smoak not only denied plaintiff attorney Jeffrey Weaver of Dunlap Weaver, PLLC (think, "Dunlap, Grubb, & Weaver, PLLC" from the olden days) an extension of time to name and serve defendants (as if he would have if he was given the chance) but he also killed Weaver's lawsuit by severing out all the defendants. Now obviously Jeffrey Weaver can always re-file against individual John Does in their home states, but so far [with few exceptions] I have not seen individual lawsuits from these plaintiff attorneys.
However, here is the problem with the West Coast Productions, Inc. severed case. We know it is severed. You now know it is severed. However, your ISP does not know, and as far as they are concerned, they are still under an order signed by Judge Smoak on 9/4/2012 forcing them to produce the names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mails of the 581 accused defendants. And, based on my conversations with defendants in this case over the past few days, these deadlines are coming up right around the corner.
I would assume that eventually the ISPs would pick up on the dismissal after enough notice, but I want to remind defendants to make sure to give notice to your ISP not to produce your information. This is something you can do on your own, but if you want an attorney to do it for you, I have already taken care of this for my own clients. Remember, your ISP gets paid by the plaintiff attorneys for each name they hand over, so they have a financial interest in producing the names "accidentally," unless you give them notice. And, Jeffrey Weaver (your plaintiff attorney) will gladly pay your ISP for their accident because he wants nothing more than to get your names so that he can ask for $3,500 from each one of you. For this reason, be smart and follow-up with this, whether you use me to send the letter and documentation to your ISP for you, or whether you do it on your own.
As if the severance is not enough exciting news, in the Middle District of Florida, PRETTY MUCH EVERY CASE HAS BEEN EITHER FROZEN, SEVERED, OR DISMISSED. Hoo yah!
I am happy to share that many of these cases were frozen in their tracks BEFORE THE JUDGES GAVE ORDERS PERMITTING THE PLAINTIFFS TO RECEIVE SUBPOENAS. In other words, the ISPs were never subpoenaed, and you — the thousands of John Doe Defendants — never received ANYTHING in the mail! Here are just a few examples of various cases:
West Coast Productions, Inc. v. Does 1-448 (3:12-cv-01277) — STAYED
Night of the Templar, LLC v. Does 1-23 (6:12-cv-01777) — SHOW CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT BE AWARDED.
Night of the Templar, LLC v. Does 1-98 (8:12-cv-02645) — SEVERED AND DISMISSED.
Bait Productions Pty Ltd. cases — CONSOLIDATED; ALL CASES ASSIGNED TO JUDGE COVINGTON AND GIVEN NEW CASE NUMBER (6:12-cv-01779). This applies to the following cases:
Bait Productions Pty Ltd. v. Does 1-81 (6:12-cv-01779)
Bait Productions Pty. Ltd. v. Does 1-95 (8:12-cv-02642)
Bait Productions Pty. Ltd. v. John Does 1-26 (2:12-cv-00628)
Bait Productions Pty. Ltd. v. Does 1-73… and so on.
According to @copyrightclerk, "Bait Productions ha[d] 25 active cases in the Middle District of Florida against a total of 1,536 defendants." Her write up on the consolidation of Bait Productions cases can be found here.
In sum, while Florida might be "the sunny state," it appears as if a deep cold front has come in and given the flu to the trolls. I saw a number of Florida cases from other plaintiffs as well that have been frozen, killed, stayed, or severed and dismissed. It took them over two years, but I am happy they have finally caught on.

Copyright Going Insane — How The Fight Between the Online Content Providers (ISPs) and TV Networks Are Affecting Our Bittorrent Piracy Lawsuits
September 11, 2020 September 4, 2012 by Rob Cashman (Author, Owner of the Cashman Law Firm, PLLC)
I am always hesitant to write articles which are not relevant to the reason you are here. Very simply put, you and I are fighting against the production companies (the "copyright trolls") who hire Intellectual Property ("IP") Enforcement Companies and "copyright troll attorney" law firms who turn around and hire local counsel (your "Doug McIntyres, Joseph Pereas, and Mike Meiers" of the world) who sue defendants on behalf of their bosses to shake down internet users (regardless of whether they actually did the bittorrent downloads or not) to extort thousands of dollars "or else they will move forward in a copyright litigation lawsuit against that individual John Doe Defendant." This is *our* fight.
However, there is a bigger fight looming in the courts, and our so-called "piracy" lawsuits are getting influenced by their headwinds — there is a brewing fight between 1) the CONTENT DISTRIBUTORS (e.g., the cable companies, the ISPs, and streaming content providers such as Netflix, Hulu, and now Amazon Prime), and 2) the CONTENT CREATORS (e.g., the television networks and movie, film, and production companies) who produce the films that the ISPs share with you, sometimes for a fee or a premium membership. Where it is impacting us is the strange and recent "out-of-place" rulings in our cases discussing the applicability of the Cable Act to ISPs. It appears that the judges want the ISPs and the CONTENT DISTRIBUTORS to fall under the Cable Act.
This morning, I read an ArsTechnica article written by New York Law School Professor James Grimmelmann entitled "Why Johnny can't stream: How video copyright went insane," which skillfully goes through the recent changes in the evolving application of copyright law from the creation of VHS and VCRs to today's digital age of DVRs and more recently, Cablevision's own DVR-RS (remote streaming — "DVRs in the cloud") technology.
The ultimate issue which everyone is tiptoeing over is simply, "can an internet user download, share, stream, view, or save copyrighted content on their computers (or in their computer's memory) and not be in violation of the copyright laws?" I suspect the answer will eventually be "yes," but the law has a lot of catching up to do, and a lot of people like you and me will be sued in the process. This sounds scary, but this is the bigger fight we are in the middle of with our bittorent piracy lawsuits.
In the ArsTechnica article, it appears as if there is a circle of corporate parties fighting to capture the dollar of the internet user. The TV networks create and copyright the movies and the videos they produce, and the cable companies, the ISPs, and the online streaming companies pay extensive licensing fees to the TV networks in order to provide that TV show or that movie to their paying subscribers (and the advertisers who subsidize when subscribers view "free" content). The problem is that as a particular show (in my case, Stargate SG-1 which was pulled from Netflix a few weeks ago without explanation) gets popular, more people view and subscribe to the cable companies' and online streaming companies' websites to view the film. The problem is that as shows get more popular and the content distributors make more money from their subscriptions and their advertisers, the TV networks and content creators increase the licensing fees they demand from the cable companies and online streaming companies to erase their profits (and quite often to grossly unfair amounts). As a result, the cable companies and online streaming companies simply pull the show from the list of shows they offer their subscribers, and everyone loses. No TV show is being shown, the online content providers lose subscribers who go elsewhere, the advertisers don't pay their advertising dollars (products that would be shown in the ads do not get sold) and the TV networks lost their licensing fees. Quite frankly, it is my opinion that this is where piracy kicks in, where users share with others shows that they cannot find online through normal streams of commerce without an outright purchase of a particular season at retail prices — in other words, the internet user loses as well.
In my opinion, the ArsTechnica article is more than a history lesson on copyright as its application to the everyday viewer has evolved over the years as the internet and technology has advanced, but it also discusses the absurdity of the "hoops" that cable companies and other start-ups are jumping through in order to be in strict compliance with the draconian copyright laws. Really? 10,000 tiny antennas so that a cable company does not infringe a TV network's copyright [when ONE ANTENNA would serve exponentially more viewers at a dramatically LOWER COST to both the cable company AND the viewer]? This is where the laws are interfering with technology (think eating wet glue), and I have a problem with this.
As to the applicability of the cable companies (the "cable operators") and the internet service providers ("ISPs"), I understand that these smaller-case Cable Act rulings in our cases have nothing to do with our problem, but with the fight between the cable companies, the ISPs, and the television networks. Cable companies have clear regulations as to where they fit within the Cable Act and the FCC's rules. ISPs however are not so clear, and the water gets muddied when one skilled in telecommunications law compares the rules governing an ISP run by a cable company (e.g., Cablevision, or Xfinity run by Comcast, or Roadrunner run by Time Warner Cable, etc.) and the rules governing an ISP which provides their DSL, satellite (e.g., Dish Network), or fiber optic (e.g., Verizon "Fios") who use means to allow users to view content other than through a coaxial cable. THE RELEVANCE OF THIS WHOLE FIGHT APPEARS TO BE OVER THE EVER-SKYROCKETING LICENSING FEES PAID TO THE TELEVISION NETWORKS, AND THE CABLE COMPANIES AND ISPs WHO ARE TRYING TO FIND WAYS NOT TO PAY THEM.
I understand that this should help you understand the headwinds which are affecting our cases, and while it is not relevant to the outcome of whether Hard Drive Productions, Inc. or West Coast Productions, Inc. sues thousands of internet users, or whether Malibu Media, LLC (a.k.a., "x-art") has an unfair strategy in hooking internet users who download one torrent file (a bittorrent "siterip") and are sued for twenty copyrighted films (even though they probably never downloaded them all in their entirety), it is still interesting to know that judges adjudicating the fight between the television networks and the ISPs are using our small lawsuits to plant case law which I suspect in the coming months and years will become relevant in the fight over licensing fees and which content provider has to pay them.

"Forum Shopping" is the link between the TX & DC "Millennium TGA, Inc." lawsuits.
September 11, 2020 May 16, 2012 by Rob Cashman (Author, Owner of the Cashman Law Firm, PLLC)
As a response to the "You Have Been Shopped" article written by DieTrollDie on forum shopping, I do have some insight to add to this. In short, there are not two Millennium TGA lawsuits in this forum shopping scandal, but three (if you are counting the "motion to compel" lawsuit in DC which is the key to understanding exactly what is going on — this is the missing link which provides the insight I am sharing).
MILLENNIUM TGA I: In short, on 12/7/2012, Millennium TGA v. Does 1-939 (Case No. 1:11-cv-02176) (hereinafter, "Millennium TGA I") was filed in DC. It was assigned to Judge Robert Wilkins, the DC judge who killed the "Expendables" bittorrent lawsuit — this was the Nu Image, Inc. v. Does 1-23,799 lawsuit by Dunlap Grubb & Weaver, PLLC which quickly expanded from 6,500 into 23,222 John Doe Defendants before the judge shut down the case. It took Prenda Law Inc. a week to figure out that their judge was THE Judge Wilkins, and they quickly and voluntarily dismissed the case.
MILLENNIUM TGA II: Four days later, Prenda Law Inc. used their local counsel Doug McIntyre (the same local counsel who was almost fired because he took on the West Coast Productions, Inc. client [remember them in DC and in W.VA with their attorney Kenneth Ford who is now in jail?] in his West Coast Productions, Inc. v. Does 1-351 (Case No. 4:12-cv-00504) case which he filed without telling Prenda Law Inc. about it) and on 12/20/2012, Doug McIntyre filed the Millennium TGA, Inc. v. John Doe (Case No. 4:11-cv-04501) case here in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. This case involves pretty much identical parties, facts and claims as were alleged in the MILLENNIUM TGA I case in DC. I suppose they thought nobody would notice their overt forum shopping, especially since they changed the name of their lawsuit.
Everything went smoothly for the plaintiff attorneys in the MILLENNIUM TGA II case in Texas …until Prenda Law Inc. served a subpoena on Comcast, who said "no."
This is where the story gets interesting. On 2/29/2012, Comcast objected to the subpoena by stating that 1) the court lacked personal jurisdiction over most of the IP addresses listed in the subpoena; 2) there were serious joinder issues in the lawsuit; and 3) the plaintiff was engaging in "a blatant attempt to FORUM SHOP" since they already dismissed MILLENNIUM TGA I to avoid being in front of Judge Wilkins in DC.
MILLENNIUM TGA III: As a result, Prenda Law Inc. (Millennium TGA, Inc.'s attorneys) filed a lawsuit against Comcast (it was actually a "motion to compel") in the MILLENNIUM TGA, INC. v. JOHN DOE (Case no. 1:12-mc-00150) case in DC.
It was in this lawsuit that John Steele "surfaced" from pretending (think, "Prenda") that he was not associated with Prenda Law Inc. since Paul Duffy allegedly took over the firm. It is also my understanding that Prenda Law Inc. didn't realize that John Seiver was the attorney behind the scenes on this case, and what they might not have known was that John Seiver has wreaked havoc on bittorrent cases as long as two years ago with the Digiprotect cases in New York. Perhaps even Prenda Law Inc.'s predecessor firm Steele|Hansmeier, PLLC was not yet in existence when this happened, and John Steele was still running his divorce practice a la the Steele Law Firm, PLLC. Either way, I suspect that they filed the motion to compel Comcast to comply with the subpoena in order to bully them, and they didn't realize that Comcast (through John Seiver) would fight back.
Now advancing forward a bit on the timeline, Magistrate Judge Alan Kay ignored pretty much every point that Comcast brought up and he issued an order on 4/18/2012 ordering Comcast to comply with the subpoena for the MILLENNIUM TGA II Texas case. They were ordered to reveal 351 of the subscriber identities to Prenda Law Inc. This is, however, where it gets interesting.
John Seiver, obviously realizing that Magistrate Judge Kay made a dumb ruling, essentially called him a moron in appealing his order. As an attorney, I would hold my tongue myself here in writing this article, especially because I am interested in seeing John Seiver and Comcast prevail, and I know that sometimes a judge can rule his court by ego rather than adhering to the law, but Magistrate Judge Kay's ruling against Comcast was so dumb I could not contain myself.
In short, according to Comcast's appeal, 1) the judge erred by failing to consider any of the legitimate defenses that Comcast raised on behalf of its subscribers. 2) The judge erred by failing to address the fundamental issue of whether any of the unnamed Does would be subject to personal jurisdiction (either in Texas, or in DC per the motion to compel). 3) The judge erred by failing to address the possible misjoinder of the one John Doe defendant (and the many co-conspirators) in the Texas case. 4) The judge erred by failing to realize that "conspiracy" is not a sufficient crime to allow massive discovery on the John Doe Defendants, and 5) Magistrate Judge Kay was not the proper judge to accept this case — according to DC's own local rules (Local Rule 40.5), the case should have been immediately reassigned to Judge Robert Wilkins, the judge who was previously assigned to the MILLENNIUM TGA I case, since MILLENNIUM TGA I and MILLENNIUM TGA II had identical claims. As of this evening, I am still waiting to hear a ruling on this appeal.
Now for those of you still in Prenda Law Inc.'s MILLENNIUM TGA II (Millennium TGA, Inc. v. John Doe (Case No. 4:11-cv-04501)) case here in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, if you are a Comcast subscriber, as you can see, there are unresolved questions in the MILLENNIUM TGA III DC case, and your status is uncertain. Thus, my contribution to the FORUM SHOPPING article by DieTrollDie today is that the DC MILLENNIUM TGA III case holds the key to understanding what is currently going on in the MILLENNIUM TGA II case here in Texas. Now as for everyone else (e.g., non-Comcast clients who are in the MILLENNIUM TGA II Texas case), understand now that the MILLENNIUM TGA III [motion to compel] DC case directly impacts your Texas case. Obviously this is something we are watching for our clients.
If you are interested in reading this entertaining appeal by Comcast in order to understand the entire story and its implications, I have attached a copy of Comcast's motion below.

AF Holdings, LLC v. Does 1-1,140 — Dismissed, but according to the plaintiff's plan.
September 12, 2020 March 5, 2012 by Rob Cashman (Author, Owner of the Cashman Law Firm, PLLC)
On Friday I wrote a scathing review of the AF Holdings, LLC v. Does 1-1,140 (Case No. 1:11-cv-01274) case dismissal, but I did not post it. In short, congratulations to the Cashman Law Firm, PLLC clients (and all the others implicated in this case) who have been dismissed from the case.
The difficulty I am facing is that while being dismissed is the goal of any John Doe defendant in a bittorrent case, in my opinion, I am uncomfortable with the way the dismissal happened.
As many of you know, there was new precedent set by Judge Facciola's ruling in the West Coast Productions, Inc. v. Does 1-1,434 (Case No. 1:11-cv-00055) case, and as a result, Judge Reggie Walton gave the plaintiffs until March 9th, 2012 to start naming or dismissing defendants. In short, instead of admitting improper jurisdiction, yet another D.C. judge opted to invoke the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 4(m) which gives plaintiffs 120 days to either name or dismiss defendants. Understanding that the Prenda Law Inc. plaintiff attorneys had no interest in continuing the lawsuit against individual Doe defendants, they dismissed the case.
Now while it is always nice when opposing counsel opts to kill a case rather than move forward against defendants, Prenda Law Inc.'s local counsel revealed more than he probably should have to the court. In a move which probably angered Paul Duffy and his superiors, Tim Anderson wrote the following paragraph:
Plaintiff acknowledges the Court's busy docket; Plaintiff is currently engaged in settlement negotiations with a substantial number of putative Doe Defendants. Rather than prematurely initiate litigation against individuals who may ultimately wish to resolve Plaintiff's claims via settlement — and thus needlessly burden the Court — Plaintiff believes that dismissing the claims against the remaining non-settling Doe Defendants in this action without prejudice in lieu of filing actions against non-settling individuals strikes a favorable balance between preserving Court resources and safeguarding its intellectual property rights.
In other words, "Court, we are dismissing the case so that you do not need to waste your time looking over us watching what we are doing. We would prefer not to have you watch us anyway because you will force us to do something we don't want to do (e.g., "name" defendants), which would make our extortion scheme much more costly to us and thus we wouldn't be able to sustain our operation if we had to actually go after defendants. So thanks to you, since we now have all the names we need from the ISPs of the putative Doe Defendants, we will continue to call and harass those who haven't settled without having you worry about what we are doing."
In short, I would have liked to see the judge issue an order indicating that since they have dismissed the case, they are no longer permitted to use the names they acquired from the subpoenas and collect settlements from putative defendants. The legal system is not a tool to discover private information about internet subscribers only to dismiss the case and continue their extortion scheme offline.
For this reason, I suspect that you understand why I am not so happy with this case dismissal. Getting your names only to dismiss the action was simply part of their plan all along.

I take the PNG files, and make my own sheet by fitting together what I want to print off. Thank you, Sir Willibald. These are such a space saver!
I agree. People come into the match with their lists picked, and in a sense, they have to pick unknowing what they're up against. That's very different from how the rest of the game is played. What if: Each player must bring a 200 point list. Players share the lists with each other. A bidding war commences. A player with equal or more points to their opponent may remove one or more cards (ship/upgrade/etc) from their list, reducing their points cost by that much, and gaining initiative. The other player may choose to remove one or more cards to reduce their list points to below the opponent Not reduce their squad anymore These last several steps repeat until someone chooses not to limit their squad anymore, and the opposing player receives initiative. Then you can see what you're up against and you won't have a failed bid, unless the other player is willing at that point to outbid you. Thoughts?
Homing Missiles - When do you NOT take the hit?
This missile is late game ordnance. While many of the torpedoes and missiles have focused on dealing damage early, I think they made this one to be useful in the endgame. That guy's token stacked behind 3AGI and you can't do the last damage? This gives you the chance to do that. At least 4 dice is better than the 2 dice you would be throwing with many missile ships.
Change/nerf Veteran Instincts l! Save the dream!
How about all pilot skills get changed to 1? Flip a coin at the start of the match, and you get to move/shoot first. Or alternating initiative.
What will this help? I'm not against it; but what I see happening is that people will just have more options to get to max PS, and instead of pushing someone up to PS11, they'll just take a different EPT that makes their ship more useful. Just wondering what the results of this would be.
Nym/Miranda are in a different tier than the previous ships you mention. The 'medium' (or as some have corrected me "large") blister. Offhand, I can't think of any small blisters with bombs in them, so I think Omega Leader is a top choice. If they can survive an alpha strike by the Gunboat.
I was just wondering "What if X-Wing had a similar format to CCGs where people buy several booster packs and use them to play a tournament." And, what is the most powerful ship with the cards included is intriguing to me. Sounds like Miranda with her built in Regen is pretty powerful.
If you had to enter a 1v1 tournament and you could only bring one ship and only use the upgrade cards available in its blister, what would you choose? (for each blister size) No point limit! Example Small Ello Asty (41) T-70 X-Wing (30), Targeting Astromech (2), Advanced Proton Torpedoes (6), Weapons Guidance (2), Cool Hand (1), Integrated Astromech (0) Medium Guri (43) StarViper (30), Calculation (1), Ion Torpedoes (5), Virago (1), Autothrusters (2), Accuracy Corrector (3), Inertial Dampeners (1) What are your picks?
My vote is to make them keep using their actions on Kylo rather than keep using the free Palp.
How come Resistance bombers have no crew slots?
Maybe they could have given it a "Team" slot?
I like this. In the current meta, you're not going to miss with a torpedo or missile. This could be an interesting EPT that actually might see play time for ordnance heavy builds.
It's a bomber with a ton of options. And I personally look forward to trying out all the options. Bomblet Emon is something I hadn't thought of, but sounds pretty awesome. Too bad he couldn't take the Trajectory Simulator too.


The agile manifesto proposes that a "team reflects on how to become more effective". Retrospectives help teams to deploy agile practices in an effective way and to continuously learn and improve themselves. The retrospective facilitator should have a toolbox of retrospective exercises and be able to pick the most effective ones to design a valuable retrospective.
In the mini-workshop Experience new exercises to spice up your agile retrospective #RetroValue that I gave at Lean Kanban France teams experienced three different retrospectives exercises. They learned how retrospectives can help them to gain deeper insight in their situation and came up with actions to deal with problems and improve their performance.
The whole team attends the retrospective meeting, where they "inspect" how the iteration (Scrum calls them sprints) has gone, and decide what and how they want to "adapt" their processes. The actions coming out of a retrospective are communicated and done in the next iteration, which makes retrospectives an effective way to do short cycled improvement.
Retrospectives bring benefits to Agile teams by helping them to improve and increase the business value that they are delivering to their customers, stakeholders and the organization. By focusing on teamwork, collaboration and their way of working teams can improve their velocity and productivity, deliver high quality product with reduced costs and lead time.
You can watch the presentation that I gave at the Lean Kanban France 2014 conference on InfoQ France: Experience new exercises to spice up your agile retrospective. This presentation explains the "what" and "why" of retrospectives and the business value and benefits that they can bring, based on the successful book Getting Value out of Agile Retrospectives. This book is also available in French: Tirer profit des rétrospectives agiles. Watch the video to experience exercises for facilitating retrospectives, supported with advice for introducing and improving retrospectives.
I did three different exercises with teams based on case descriptions. The exercises are taken from the book Getting Value out of Agile Retrospectives written by Luis Gonçalves and me, which is available in English and many other languages (one team used the French edition 🙂 ). The teams learned to facilitate a retrospective by picking an exercise that was suited to the situation at hand.
The second case showed a team that is becoming Agile. They had done quite a few iterations, things were going reasonable and in each iteration one or more user stories have been delivered. Despite that things were going pretty good team members had the feeling that there is room for improvement. They have done exercises such as asking questions, sailboat and five times why. Because the last retrospectives didn't deliver sufficient and valuable improvement actions, the team wanted to do a new kind of exercise, so they decided to do a Team Assessment Survey. This exercise helped the team to objectively determine their performance at the project level and continue their agile journey by identifying possible improvements that they can do in the near future.
What can you do if things have gone really wrong? In the third case a troubled team tried to deal with their problems of the last unsuccessful iteration. It didn't feel well as a lot of things went wrong. They didn't live up to the expectations of the product owner, who is not satisfied how things are going and the team isn't happy either. The atmosphere in the team is not good, there are some personal problems between team members due to several issues that happened in the iteration. As they needed something to break this downward spiral and discuss the deeper feelings to address them effectively, they did a one-word retrospective. The retrospective helped the team to deal with feelings. It used a check-in exercise where every team member summarizes in one word how they felt about the last iteration and the team. By discussing these single words the team agreed on the major problems that they are encountering and decided which actions they would take on to solve them.
After doing all the exercises the teams shared their experiences with the retrospective with all attendants of the mini-workshop. The new team benefited from the sail boat exercise, it helped them to build a shared vision and agree where they should focus as a team to work effectively together. In the team that is becoming agile several areas of improvement were identified, the team would need more time to explore them and come to concrete actions (my suggestion is to prepare this exercise by gathering data before the retrospective meeting). The third team managed to go from a hostile atmosphere to a team that understands what has happened and why, which helped them to restore the relationships between team members. Attendants liked the mini-workshop a lot, several mentioned that will do the exercises with their teams in the near future!
Want to learn more about retrospectives?
Retrospectives are a great way for teams to improve their way of working, to become agile in an agile way. Getting actions out of a retrospective that are doable, and getting them done helps teams to learn and improve continuously.
You can attend one of my workshops on Valuable Agile Retrospectives to learn how to adopt agile retrospectives and become agile in an agile way. My books with retrospective exercises are available in eBook and paperback Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss the possibilities.

The example of thread whirling when applied on implants made from titanium or stainless steel demonstrates how precision can be increased, using the right tool while at the same time reducing costs.
The demand for implants such as bone screws and plates in medical and dental surgery has been growing rapidly for a number of years. The necessary parts for such implants are mainly made from stainless steel or titanium in order to ensure a high level of patient compatibility. Therefore, the associated requirements for implants in terms of precision and finish are extremely high.
As a specialist for form tool systems, Schwanog has perfected thread whirling due to convincing process safety and excellent chip control. Schwanog is setting new standards in terms of reducing costs and increasing productivity.
Thread whirling with the Schwanog system offers the advantage of working with insertable tools. Many whirling attachments can be equipped with the 3 piece Schwanog cutter body assembly which enables its user to quick change between the WEP and DCI whirling systems. The DCI system is applied for extended part cycle times or increased tool life when compared to the WEP system.

Q: Finding i-th row in a matrix in wolfram mathematica I have trying to multipy a column matrix and a row matrix in mathematica. But mathematica gives row matrix as a column matrix. so multipy function doesnt work. My codes are
`Y = Inverse[S];
Print["Y=", MatrixForm[Y]];
For[i = 1, i <= n, i++,
Subscript[P, i] = MatrixForm[S[[All, i]].Y[[i]]];
Print["CarpimS=", MatrixForm[S[[All, i]]]];
Print["CarpimY=", MatrixForm[Y[[i]]]];
Print["P=", Subscript[P, i]];
];

If anyone know this situation please answer

A: This is a badly written question, so I'm going to have to make some guesses.  Your code does not seem relevant to your question, with this exception: S[[All, i]].Y[[i]]. Given your description, I'm guessing we can say that S is k by k and so is Y.  If your goal is to Dot the i-th column of S by the i-th row of its inverse Y, then what you have is fine: you produce each as a 1-d vector, and then produce a scalar product.  But you say you're not getting what you want, so I'm guessing you want the outer product instead.
mS = IdentityMatrix[5];
mS[[3, 3]] = 99;
mY = Inverse[mS];
mS[[All, 3]].mY[[3]]  (* scalar product *)
Outer[Times, mS[[All, 3]], mY[[3]]] (* outer product *)

If I guessed wrong, you will have to work on improving your question.

Mourinho makes shock Chelsea exit
Mourinho's position was the subject of continual scrutiny last season
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has stunned the world of football by leaving Stamford Bridge by mutual consent.
The decision comes after the club held a crisis meeting to discuss the indifferent start to the new season.
Mourinho, 44, joined Chelsea in June 2004 and led them to the Premiership title in each of his first two seasons.
But his relationship with Blues owner Roman Abramovich grew increasingly troubled and he quit despite having three years left on his contract.
Report: Mourinho exits Stamford Bridge
Archive: Mourinho's first season with Chelsea
Interview: Former Chelsea midfielder Gavin Peacock
Former Israel coach and Chelsea's director of football Avram Grant will take over from Mourinho, whose compensation package is still being agreed.
606: DEBATE
It is a move that will provoke widespread despair among Chelsea's fanbase
BBC's Phil McNulty
BBC Radio 5live football correspondent Jonathan Legard understands Mourinho texted senior players, including skipper John Terry, to tell them he was leaving.
Meanwhile, Peter Kenyon, the club's chief executive, Bruce Buck, the chairman, and Abramovich's key aide, Eugene Tenenbaum, were called to an emergency meeting at Stamford Bridge last night to discuss the emerging crisis.
A statement on the Chelsea website confirmed: "Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have agreed to part company today (Thursday) by mutual consent."
MOURINHO'S CHELSEA RECORD
2 June, 2004 - Appointed manager
27 February, 2005 - Wins Carling Cup 3-2 v Liverpool
30 April, 2005 - Beat Bolton 2-0 to win Premiership title
4 May, 2005 - Signs new five-year contract
29 April, 2006 - Beat Man Utd 3-0 to win Premiership again
27 February, 2007 - Beat Arsenal 2-1 to win Carling Cup
19 May, 2007 - Win FA Cup by beating Man Utd 1-0 at Wembley
19 September, 2007 - Leaves Stamford Bridge
Many of Chelsea's staff and players had been enjoying a relaxing evening at a Fulham Broadway cinema last night as they watched a screening of "Blue Revolution" - a new documentary about the Abramovich years.
But senior players such as Terry and Frank Lampard were absent and the remainder, except a reluctant Shaun Wright-Phillips, refused to talk to the media.
Mourinho also attended the evening but ignored the waiting media and looked decidedly glum.
The Portuguese made a massive impact at Chelsea after joining them from Porto, whom he guided to Champions League glory in 2004.
Last season, the Blues finished runners-up to Manchester United but won both the FA Cup and Carling Cup, a trophy they had also collected in 2005.
Mourinho's achievements also saw him voted as Premiership manager of the year in 2005 and 2006.
He's a very individual man and he thinks he should be the power at the club
Pat Nevin on Mourinho
However, the Champions League trophy eluded the club and this season's campaign started with Tuesday's shock 1-1 draw at home to Norwegian side Rosenborg in front of a crowd of just 24,973.
It was their third successive game without a win following a 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa and a goalless draw with Blackburn in the Premier League.
Those results have left Chelsea fifth in the table - two points behind leaders Arsenal and with a visit to Manchester United to come on Sunday.
The BBC understands the impasse between Mourinho and Abramovich came to a head after their 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa earlier this month.
Mourinho has been at loggerheads with the Russian since their disagreement over the lack of funds to sign players during last January's transfer window.
Mourinho's reluctance to play Ukraine international Andriy Shevchenko, brought in by Abramovich at a cost of £31m, and the Russian billionaire's desire to bring in Grant from Portsmouth to work with the misfiring striker only served to heighten the tension.
Abramovich wants his team to win trophies but also play with style
Grant was recruited in the summer as director of football and Mourinho is understood to have simmered ever since.
Former Chelsea player Pat Nevin says that behind the scenes movements were key to Mourinho's departure.
"He's a very individual man and he thinks he should be the power at the club," Nevin told 5live.
"If you put someone of that ego, and I say that in a likeable way, in charge and then you tell him you're not quite in charge, then I think it was a recipe for disaster."
Radio 5live football correspondent Legard agreed Mourinho's relationship with Abramovich would break down at some point.
"It suited both parties that he went," said Legard. "They've had an uneasy relationship, to put it mildly.
"One: the board, Roman Abramovich and the directors were frustrated by the results this season and also the style of play. They wanted stylish football. They wanted football which appealed to the world and they weren't getting it.
It's clear this relationship has been breaking up for a long time
BBC sport editor Mihir Bose on Mourinho and Abramovich
"Two: Jose Mourinho was frustrated by the interference. He could not do the job how he wanted."
BBC sport editor Mihir Bose added: "It's clear this relationship has been breaking up for a long time."
Former England manager Graham Taylor believes the beginning of the end came when Michael Ballack and Shevchenko were brought in, reportedly against Mourinho's wishes.
Taylor told 5Live: "Once you take away the authority the manager has in signing players, you're on a slippery slope.
"What I would say about Mourinho is his record is with underachieving players and when Shevchenko and Ballack came in, it disturbed the balance.
"They've never looked as fluid and that's because the manager probably did not himself believe that is the way they should be playing."
Mourinho still had three years left on his contract, worth about £5m a year, after agreeing a new deal in May 2005.
Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one
Mourinho introduces himself to the English press in 2004
At the time he signed that deal, he said: "My heart is with Chelsea and the fantastic group of players that I have but the vision of the owner and the board for the future of Chelsea is also one I want to be a part of.
"I cannot imagine another situation or another club where I could be happier. I am totally behind this project."
But the Chelsea board are thought to have become increasingly unhappy over the team's form at the beginning of the campaign.
Mourinho, who has reportedly been given a £10m pay-off by the Blues, will not be short of job offers.
Of the 185 games he was in charge of Chelsea, they won 124, drew 40 and lost 21, a record that includes a 60-match unbeaten run in Premier League matches at Stamford Bridge.
The statistics go some way towards justifying Mourinho's famous description of himself as "a special one", made during his first press conference as Chelsea boss.

here is my demo:https://stackblitz.com/edit/ionic-1j9sbj?file=pages%2Fhome%2Fhome.ts
please help me thanks in advance!!!

A: In any case so far you're not filtering the data, so I assume your question is "how do I register a backspace". You could do this through ngModelChange, like so:
  <ion-searchbar *ngIf="showSearchBar"
       (ngModelChange)="valuechange($event)" [(ngModel)]="searchkey">
  </ion-searchbar>

Component:
valuechange($key) {
    console.log($key);
    //filter your list through $key value
}

A: <ion-searchbar *ngIf="showSearchBar" (ngModelChange)="showSearchData($event)" [(ngModel)]="searchkey">
    </ion-searchbar>

Check the data here:
showSearchData($value){
    if($value)
     this.haveSomeResults = true;
     else
      this.haveSomeResults = false;
  }

Working solution: https://ionic-np1r5a.stackblitz.io

A: You can use ngModelChange event here, then you can check if the value is present in the parameter hence enable and disable the results.
<ion-searchbar *ngIf="showSearchBar" (ngModelChange)="showSearchData($event)" [ngModel]="searchkey">
</ion-searchbar>

DEMO

A: Try this :
use *ngIf="searchkey" instead of *ngIf="haveSomeResults"
<ion-searchbar *ngIf="showSearchBar" (keypress)="showSearchData(searchkey)" [(ngModel)]="searchkey"></ion-searchbar>

    <ion-item *ngFor="let searchResult of searchResults?.details">
        <ion-avatar item-start>
        </ion-avatar>

Tom Lee: "The Facebook Announcement is Validation that the Mainstream are now Focused on Cryptocurrencies"
June 19, 2019 3839
By Adrian Barkley
The co-founder and head of research of Fundstrat, Tom Lee has recently taken part in a new interview with CNBC Futures Now where he gave his opinion on the new Facebook cryptocurrency, Libra.
Lee believes that this new stablecoin from the social network is proof that cryptocurrency is going mainstream.
"The Facebook announcement is a complete validation that mainstream is now focused on cryptocurrencies and I think it really destroys those arguments that say, 'I believe in blockchain, not Bitcoin.'"
Lee says that Facebook creating a cryptocurrency is good news for Bitcoin in the long-term.
"This is clearly a cryptocurrency play. But the salvo, or the real focus, is decentralized finance. And I think it is more targeted at stablecoins and creating a new kind of banking system, and it's very complimentary to Bitcoin. I think this is actually a really bullish development for Bitcoin. I think it's really bad for stablecoins and anyone who's been trying to do decentralized finance.
One thing to keep in mind – Facebook's annual revenue per user is probably $50. That might be a little high. But an average bank generates close to $1,000 per user. So, Facebook has a 20x upside to their customer model if they start doing banking services, and so I can see why banks aren't really enthusiastic about this."
When it comes to the price of Bitcoin, the co-founder says that the leading crypto is now in a full-blown bull-market and is well on the road of return to its all-time high of $20,000.
"I think Bitcoin ultimately becomes a reserve currency in crypto. Bitcoin at $9,000 has only been at this level in 4% of its history. We're deep into a bull market and people are pretty silent about it. I think Bitcoin is going to easily take out its all-time highs."
Despite Facebook's announcement this week, the price of Bitcoin hasn't moved much. The price is currently sat at $9,139 following a 0.78 percent decrease over the past 24 hours.

SPIEGEL Interview with Iraq Leader Nouri al-Maliki: 'The Tenure of Coalition Troops in Iraq Should Be Limited' - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News: The situation in Iraq seems to be improving. SPIEGEL spoke with Iraqi Prime Minister al-Maliki about his approval of Barack Obama's withdrawal plans and what he hopes from US President Bush in his last months in office.
SPIEGEL: And there is truly no resentment against a country that opposed the war in 2003?
Maliki: We do not judge our partners on the basis of whether or not they were militarily involved in toppling Saddam. The decisions back then corresponded to the national will of the countries, and we respect that.
SPIEGEL: What exactly do you expect from the Germans and from German companies?
Maliki: We want to get to know them, and we want to know what they want -- and the things they fear when thinking about Iraq. We have to start over again in many areas, including oil production, the development of the power grid and all industries. There is much to be done.
You can read the full statement at the link, but this summary really tells you what you need to know, namely that the walkback (a) doesn't involve Maliki on the record, (b) says the reports are inaccurate but doesn't name inaccuracies, and (c) was issued through CENTCOM. Basically, this morning we saw Maliki speaking in person and endorsing Obama's plan to end the occupation in no uncertain terms. By the late afternoon, an Iraqi government spokesman was pretending this never happened in a statement released by the occupying army. That's hardly even a serious effort at bamboozlement. Now the question becomes: what happens when the CODEL currently in Afghanistan makes its way to Iraq? Meetings with Maliki are presumably on the agenda.
Ben Smith's Blog: Political leverage in the 51st state: It's almost a convention of politics that when a politician says he was misquoted, but doesn't detail the misquote or offer an alternative, he's really saying he wishes he hadn't said what he did, or that he needs to issue a pro-forma denial to please someone. The Iraqi Prime Minister's vague denial seems to fall in that category. The fact that it arrived to the American press via CENTCOM, seems to support that. It came, as Mike Allen notes, 18 hours later, and at 1:30 a.m. Eastern, a little late for Sunday papers; his staff also seems, Der Spiegel reports, not to have contested Iraqi reporting of the quote, even in the "government-affiliated" Iraqi press. The notion this was a misquote also bumps up against Der Spiegel's standing by its reporting, and providing a long, detailed transcript.
Leaders of a number of countries have some power to affect our election. An Israeli strike on Iran before November would dramatically shift the terrain. Iranian belligerence, or cooperation, could favor one candidate or the other. Europeans could pledge more, or less, support for American efforts abroad. North Korea could continue to engage, or withdraw. Many other leaders, from Syria to China, could offer their own October surprises. The conventional wisdom is that gestures of engagement or negotiation would favor Obama, who has pledged negotiations; war or belligerence favor McCain, who is more skeptical of the power of diplomacy. But this isn't always easy to predict. In this context, though, Iraq's elected leaders have more power than any others. There used to be occasional references to Iraq as the 51st state; the number of American soldiers and civilians in Iraq appears to be well north of 150,000, more than a quarter of the population of Alaska. And both McCain and Obama cast their policies, in part, in terms of what's good for the Iraqis and what they want.


Right now is the time. Spring through early summer is prime selling season in the housing industry, according to the National Association of Realtors. That's especially true here in the Chicago area. The reasons are many, and they benefit buyers and sellers, alike.
The weather is warmer, making it easier for potential buyers to get out and look. The days are getting longer, giving more buyers more time to check out a home in daylight. Landscape is beginning to green up and flowers are blooming, giving your home more curb appeal.
Additionally, if you've put off any exterior improvements or maintenance because of winter weather, you can tackle that now. Spring is also the time when families are looking to buy so they can get settled in during the summer before school starts in the fall, which is why home-buying peaks during the month of June, adds NAR.
What all this means is that, if you're a seller, you're likely to get a higher price for your home during the spring/summer season. The law of supply and demand doesn't apply in housing. Unlike other markets, where more inventory means lower prices, the housing market works the opposite way: Prices are highest in the prime season, when the most homes are listed, says NAR.
Another factor that benefits a spring sale is that your home could be appraised higher, since an appraisal is based on home sales near you. Since more homes are sold in spring, your valuation could be higher if more homes are being sold in your neighborhood.
Bottom line, whether your selling in prime selling season or any other time of year, consulting an experienced realtor is the best way to get the best price for your home.

De Albalonga (synoniem: Würzburg B 51-2-1) is een in 1951 ontwikkeld Duits druivenras, dat voornamelijk voorkomt in de deelstaat Rijnland-Palts. Het is een kruising tussen de Rieslaner en de Müller-Thurgau.

Kenmerken
De wijn van deze druif heeft een goede zuurtegraad. De wijnstok draagt kleine tot middelgrote druiven. Wil men kwaliteit bereiken, dan is zeer sterke terugsnoei een vereiste. Deze druif rijpt laat en is daarom geschikt om laat tot zeer laat te oogsten en mogelijk wijnen van edele rotting voort te brengen. De aroma's zijn exotisch fruitig met soms zwart fruit en florale tonen.

Gebieden
De variëteit komt bescheiden voor en wel in de deelstaat Rijnland-Palts in de wijnstreek Rheinhessen en in mindere mate in Franken. Het areaal beslaat een weinig meer dan 12 hectare.

Mane: Messi voting me The Best shows how far I've come
The Liverpool winger has enjoyed another impressive start to the season with five goals in eight league games
Sadio Mane admits it was a "great compliment" to be Lionel Messi's number one vote for The Best FIFA Men's Player award.
The Liverpool winger received Messi's top vote for the award last month, with the Barcelona winger eventually picking up the prize himself, with Mane coming in at number five.
Mane's team-mate Virgil van Dijk finished in second, ahead of Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo and fellow Reds winger Mohamed Salah in third and fourth respectively.
Messi also voted for Ronaldo and his new club-mate Frenkie de Jong, but it was Senegal international Mane who took the number one vote from the Argentinian forward.
"It's a great compliment when Messi votes for you," Mane said in an interview with The Sunday Times.
"If you look at where I've come from, it shows I've come quite far. Without being for a long time at an academy, I got here.
"All I can say [to kids] has been to keep working hard and go for your dream."
And on whether or not he would return the favour for Messi if given the chance, the Liverpool winger joked: "Yes, for sure…after Virgil [Van Dijk]. No, Virgil has been a great, great soccer professional but sorry Virgil, it has to be Messi before you."
Having shared the Premier League Golden Boot last season with fellow African stars Salah and Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mane has made another blistering start to the current campaign.
The 27-year-old already has five league goals to his name, as well as scoring the opener in his side's dramatic 4-3 Champions League victory against Red Bull Salzburg earlier this month.
He says the decision to join the Reds was "the best of his career" after making the move from Southampton three years ago, but admits that meeting Jurgen Klopp for the first time was slightly overwhelming.
"He was talking too much and I said, 'Wow, this has been going to be tough for me because I'm a little bit quiet.'
"Klopp has been a really nice guy. Everybody loves him and that has been more important, to be honest [than all the talking].
"He has been a bit of a funny guy but at the same time he has been a serious guy."
Mane will be looking to continue his fine start to the new campaign as Liverpool look to maintain their 100 per cent record in the Premier League this term when they visit old rivals Manchester United on Sunday.

Epiphone - Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metal Body Round Neck' has been successfully added to your cart.
Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metalbody (Round Neck): Classic resonator guitar from the only and only Dobro.
Epiphone presents the new Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metalbody guitar with an easy to play Round Neck. The Hound Dog M-14 features the renowned style and sound of an American original thats been dazzling and inspiring musicians since the late 1920s and is the perfect instrument for players who want the beautiful articulation of a metal body guitar for blues, fingerpicking, jazz, or even light slide for classic Delta or Hawaiian styles.
Classic Resonator Body: The body of the Dobro Hound Dog M-14 is made from Bell Brass with nickel plating with a 18 1/8 Lower Bout Width, a 10 3/8 Upper Bout Width and a depth of 3 . The tone of the Hound Dog M-14 is rich and full with quick decay that makes both fingerpicking and slide smooth and easy in all registers.
The Mahogany neck has a natural satin finish with an easy-to-fret 1960s SlimTaper neck thats joined to the body at the 14th fret with Neck-Stick Construction. The Rosewood fingerboard has pearloid dot inlays with 19 medium frets, a 12 radius, and a bone nut.
Dual Action Trust Rod: The first generation of original Dobro instruments look great but often suffer from warped necks or poor intonation. The modern new Dobro Hound Dog M-14 does away with all of those old problems thanks to a dual action adjustable truss rod and bone nut which makes it easy to set up. The strings sit on a Hard Maple saddle with an Ebony cap. The headstock has a Rounded Dobro shape seen on rare (and expensive) vintage models. There is also the vintage styled 4-color Dobro decal with the iconic harp logo.
Grover mini-Rotomatic Machine Heads: Tuning the M-14 is made smooth and intuitive with Grover mini-Rotomatic machine heads with an 18:1 ratio. And the Hound Dog M-14 comes ready to play with DAddario EJ42 medium gauge strings.

Boreoeutheria (nebo Boreotheria) (z řeckého βόρειο "sever" + θεριό "zvíře") je velká skupina savců, jejíž věrohodnost (příbuznost jejích členů) je podpořená analýzami DNA. Zahrnuje rozličné typy od velkých vodních zvířat (kytovci) i velkých suchozemských zvířat (sudokopytníci, lichokopytníci, šelmy) přes malé hlodavce či letouny až po primáty. Dělí se na dvě větší podskupiny – Laurasiatheria a Euarchontoglires.

Sesterskou skupinou boreoeutherií jsou buď chudozubí (Xenarthra) nebo celá skupina Atlantogenata, která zahrnuje chudozubé a skupinu Afrotheria.

Minister Fraser celebrates Citizenship Week
Yet another missed opportunity to release the revised citizenship guide! Understand the guide has been ready and approved for some time.
No surprise on elimination of citizenship fees given not in Budget 2022.
Don't understand the reference to "Most recently, these amendments include broadening the interpretation of "citizenship by descent" to be more inclusive for families." as the first generation limit has not been change, although Bill S-245 has been approved in the Senate but has not reached first reading in the House:
The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, today issued the following statement to mark the start of Citizenship Week, which runs from May 23 to 29, 2022:
"Today, I join Canadians from coast to coast to coast to mark the beginning of Citizenship Week. This week is a chance to celebrate what it means to be Canadian—from the rights we enjoy, to the responsibilities we share, to the diversity that makes us a strong and proud nation.
"This year, we marked the 75th anniversary of the first Canadian Citizenship Act. The passage of the Act, which was later replaced with the Citizenship Act in 1977, was a monumental moment in Canadian history that shaped the identity we share today. In the days that followed, Canada held its first-ever citizenship ceremony, establishing a formalized rite of passage that millions of new Canadians have taken part in since.
"Canada is known around the world as a country that respects and celebrates our differences. As we have grown, we have amended our Citizenship Act so that it reflects our values and promotes an inclusive society. Most recently, these amendments include broadening the interpretation of "citizenship by descent" to be more inclusive for families. They also include establishing a new Oath of Citizenship that recognizes the inherent and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, and the obligation that all citizens have to uphold the treaties between the Crown and Indigenous nations. We are committed to ensuring that the tragic parts of our history are not forgotten, as we continue on the path of reconciliation.
"Canadian citizenship holds so much significance and meaning. For some, it represents the achievement of a dream and the promise of a new life. For others, it is an innate and unbreakable bond to the beautiful country we call home.
"For all of us, citizenship remains a commitment not only to Canada, but to our fellow Canadians. Whether volunteering for a community project, helping out a neighbour in need or welcoming newcomers to our country, I encourage all Canadians to look for ways to take part in building a strong, inclusive and prosperous Canada—this week and every week."
