Welcome to DADA, a free online-mobile platform where people communicate visually through drawings. DADA is operated and provided by ShowOpp Inc. ("We," "Us," or "DADA").
We aspire to do the right, ethical and legal thing in bringing you this App, and we ask that you use the same judgment as you read, use, link to, and share the content hosted on DADA. Members of the site must act ethically and not engage in any activity that DADA, in its sole discretion, deems to be gaming or otherwise abusing the site. DADA reserves the right to terminate the account of any member for any reason whatsoever. When utilizing DADA content, we ask that you give credit where appropriate and don't edit our content – or content that belongs to others without permission.
This is a legally binding contract (the "Terms" or "Agreement") between you ("you" or "users") and ShowOpp, Inc. ("ShowOpp," "Company," "DADA" "we" or "us"). It sets out the terms under which we provide you with the "DADA" online drawing platform, the downloadable "DADA" Application, and the "DADA" Facebook Application ("DADA", the "App" or "Application"), and the terms that apply when you collaborate with or view the content of other DADA users. Our "Services" mean the Web Site, the App, The Facebook App, DADA.nyc and any related services or digital tools we offer to you.
You must be eighteen years of age or older to use the Services. If you are not eighteen years old, please do not use DADA or our other Services.
Our App, DADA, enables you to create original works of art and other content ("Content"), using the tools and features we provide. It also enables you to participate in collaborative sequences of drawings with other users ("Visual Conversations"). You own the Content and all the rights to your individual drawings. We don't. You can keep the Content you create on your local device or share it via email, Facebook, Twitter and certain other methods.
Content posted as part of a Visual Conversation is known as "Shared Content." DADA owns the content of the Visual Conversations ("Shared Content") whether partly or in their entirety.
Please review the below terms, because they impact how others can use your Content, and how much control you have over the Content you create.
You may have the opportunity to create art or other content on the DADA Site ("User Generated Content"). You may not submit content that you do not create yourself or otherwise own all rights in. You warrant that you own all right, title and interest worldwide in any User Generated Content, including all intellectual property and moral rights therein. You retain all ownership interest you have in all User Generated Content that you submit to the DADA Site. By submitting your User Generated Content to the DADA Site, you hereby grant DADA a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable, non-exclusive and fully sublicensable right and license to use, sublicense, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, recast, transform, publicly perform, publicly display and make derivative works of, your User Generated Content (in whole or in part) and/or to incorporate it in or combine it with other content in any form, media or technology now known or later developed, for the full term of any worldwide intellectual property right, including moral rights, that may exist in your User Generated Content. You also hereby grant each user of the Site a non-exclusive license to access your Content through the Site, and to use, reproduce, distribute, display, create derivative works of and perform such Content as permitted through the functionality of the Site and under these Terms of Service. You hereby waive any all moral rights in your User Generated Content. You hereby acknowledge and agree that DADA may use your User Generated Content, alone or in combination, with other content for any legal purpose, and may derive revenue from such use. DADA, in its sole discretion, may elect to establish a policy to share a portion of any revenue it receives from certain activities that involve your User Generated Content. If it elects to do so, DADA will post this policy to the DADA Site. Dada may change or terminate any such policy if it chooses to do so and give notice of such change or termination. You may be required to provide certain information to DADA and/or create an account to receive payments under such policies.
You further represent and warrant that you will not submit any User Generated Content that, in DADA's sole discretion, is obscene, indecent, defamatory, libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing, or infringes any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy.
DADA shall have the right, but no obligation, to monitor User Generated Content and other features of the Site to determine compliance with these terms. DADA shall have the right in its sole discretion to edit, refuse to post or remove any User Generated Content.
Under no circumstances will DADA be liable for any loss or damage of any kind related to any User Generated Content. DADA is not responsible for any offensive, defamatory, obscene or any other content posted by users on the Site. We reserve the right at all times to disclose any information we believe necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or governmental request, or to refuse to post or to remove content, in whole or in part, that in DADA's sole discretion is inappropriate, objectionable or in violation of these terms. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us by email at support@dada.nyc.
DADA is a provider of an interactive computing service as set forth in the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. §230 and expressly reserves its rights to not be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider on the site or through the services.
When you decide to share your Content through a third-party service that is integrated with our Services, such as Facebook, Twitter, or other social media platforms, you're authorizing us to deliver the Content to that third-party service. This means that the third-party service's handling of your Content will be subject to its own agreement with you, for which we are not responsible. In addition to providing this license to us, DADA owns the actual bits and bytes of data on its servers. You have no property or other interest in those bits and bytes, or to any DADA servers, infrastructure, or the Services we offer.
Every drawing posted on DADA is a starting point from which others can branch off. When you post to DADA, you are contributing to a shared, open, continuing store of content. When you post a drawing as part of a Visual Conversation, you agree that, with the exception of your individual drawing, to which you retain all rights, the Shared Content in which your Content appears is owned by DADA. This means, for example, that you agree that DADA can copy, modify, distribute and perform the Shared Content, all without asking you for permission. That said, while your Shared Content remains on DADA, DADA will always maintain a reasonable effort to maintain attribution to you of your individual content both on its own and within the Visual Conversations. Your decision to create and post Content to Visual Conversations and thus relinquish your rights in that Shared Content is permanent and cannot be reversed.
If you decide to discontinue your account on DADA, your drawings will continue appearing in whatever Visual Conversations they are part of.
In the future, DADA may create products such as books, for example, which can be sold to the public. We could also sell the Shared Content to prospective buyers. Any revenues generated by the sale of the Shared Content will be used to cover the production, distribution, promotion, sales and legal costs associated with the Shared Content. A percentage of the profits, to be determined by DADA's sole discretion, will be assigned to DADA and to each of the contributors of the shared content.
Every drawing you create and post on DADA is attributed to you. We may implement features, labels or identifiers that attach or link "attribution" information to the Content – in other words, that identify the creator or creators or the Content, such as through a profile card or other listing tool. To the extent that we implement these features, you agree that you will not disable them, and that you will honor and respect them, including where you have exported the Content to another platform or used the Content for another purpose (whether in an online, physical or other environment).
If you think someone has violated these Terms or your intellectual property rights, you understand that while you may decide to enforce your rights through proper legal methods, these Terms don't require DADA to assist you in any particular way, to remove any Shared Content at your request, to take action forcing them to attribute your work to you or to take any particular action against an alleged offender.
All aspects of the Services that are not Content are owned by DADA, and we own all right, title and intellectual property in that content ("DADA Content"). This includes the selection, compilation, arrangement, interfaces and presentation of all materials in the Services, and the overall design of the Services are copyrighted by us, and are protected by US and international laws. Use of DADA Content without our express prior written permission is strictly prohibited. Shared Content is DADA content; we own the Shared Content, but allow users to make it available through the Service. The Shared Content is likewise subject to the DMCA Policy, below. DADA.nyc, DADA, and the DADA logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of ShowOpp, Inc., in the United States and other foreign countries. Our trademarks may not be used in connection with any product or service without our express written permission.

Certain features and certain compatible products have more stringent hardware and software requirements.
The App is currently free to install and offers free functionality. We reserve the right to impose fees for any aspect of the Services in the future.
You must establish an "Account" to use DADA. Creating an Account on DADA allows us to save and give you attribution for the content you create on our Services. When you do this, you're required to provide us with certain personal information ("Registration Data") for purposes of security, verification or other customer management purposes. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete Registration Data and to use Account management tools we may provide to keep your Registration Data accurate, current and complete.
You are responsible for any activity from or by your Account, so you should not share your password, and you should protect it carefully. You agree, for your protection and validity reasons, NEVER to give your password out to another person, except an administrator. You also agree NEVER to use another person's account for any reason. If you think your Account has been breached or taken over by another person, it's your responsibility to contact us immediately.
You have the ability, when you register, to choose your username. We advise that you keep the name appropriate. We recommend that you use your actual name so that attribution to your Content is accurate.
After you register and login to this App, you will be able to complete a detailed profile ("Portrait"). It is your responsibility to present appropriate and accurate information. Any information DADA or its staff determines to be inaccurate, inappropriate or vulgar in nature will be removed, with or without prior notice. Appropriate sanctions may be applicable.
Note that, with each post, your IP address is recorded. This IP address will be used in the event that you need to be banned from this App or your ISP contacted and will only happen in the event of a major violation of this agreement.
You may not use automated means, such as automated software, devices, scripts, bots or other similar means to access DADA, to remove or disaggregate content from DADA, or to use any other aspect of the Services. You also may not access DADA via any such means described above, for purposes of monitoring DADA's availability, performance, functionality, or for any competitive purpose.
DADA is designed to help people collaborate and converse with each other through drawings; as such, we have some ground rules which you must adhere to when using DADA. You agree to follow our Community Guidelines.
As DADA is a platform for you and others to express ideas and creativity, you agree that we are not liable for – and do not endorse, warrant or have any obligation to review – any particular user's content. We strive to make DADA a safe, positive and healthy community for all users.
You agree, through your use of this App, that you will not create or post any material which is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, contains explicit or graphic descriptions or accounts of sexual acts, invasive of another's privacy, or hateful; or that victimizes, harasses, degrades, or intimidates an individual or group of individuals on the basis of religion, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, age, or disability, or is otherwise in violation of any International, or United States Federal law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material.
DADA and its designees have the right (but not the obligation) at their sole discretion to refuse or remove any Content, in whole or part, that in DADA judgment does not comply with these Terms or is otherwise undesirable, inappropriate or inaccurate. DADA is not responsible for any failure, non-failure or delay in removing such Content. You will remain responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, decency, or any other aspect of such material, including any Content or part thereof, or other communication to DADA. You agree to immediately notify DADA of any unauthorized use of the Service or any other breach of security that you know or suspect.
You remain solely responsible for the content of your drawings and comments. Furthermore, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the owners of this App, any related websites to this App, its staff and its subsidiaries. DADA reserves the right to reveal your identity (or any other related information collected on this service) in the event of a formal complaint or legal action arising from any situation caused by your use of this App.
If you object to any Shared Content, you may contact us at support@dada.nyc to alert a moderator.
We will communicate with you via email, sent to the email address you provide to us. We may also communicate with you via push notifications. Some communications, such as emails informing you of new features, may be unsubscribed to by using the unsubscribe link in the email. You can manage your notification preferences in your Portrait.
One of the unique aspects of DADA is that you can create content (drawings) directly on our website with our in-site drawing tool. We call anything you create through DADA "Content", including comments. You (and anyone who can interact with your use of DADA) ultimately controls the nature of the Content, and our collection, use, and disclosure practices with respect to Content are separate from those with respect to other sorts of information we collect, including Customer Information. Because we are a collaborative creative platform, the ability to delete the visual content you create on DADA can affect the integrity of the visual conversations, hence, as of this writing, you are not able to delete or change your drawings once you have posted them. However, you may request to deactivate your Account by sending an email to support@dada.nyc.

Ever since Nelle Hayes first appeared on GENERAL HOSPITAL, the character was a bit of a mystery. And when the young woman later revealed her last name was really Benson — the same as Carly's — things got even more complicated, leaving many fans wondering who this newcomer really is. And as more and more of her past was revealed, things just got murkier and murkier. Although Nelle started to act a little more normal, she then turned so over-the-top crazy that it was no surprise that her storyline came to a dramatic end.
Nelle first appeared in Port Charles on Aug. 8, 2016, with Chloe Lanier playing the newly-created role. The actress was familiar to GH fans from her stint as a teenaged Pat Spencer in the soap's special 52nd anniversary episode that aired on April 1, 2015. Though some fans speculated that her new character could be another never-before-seen Spencer relative, the soap remained tight-lipped about Nelle's background hoping to keep the character a mystery until her true background was revealed.
Nelle came to town all sweetness and light, but her saccharine smiles were just a mask to hide her nefarious true intentions. She was out for revenge and concocted an elaborate scheme to destroy Carly's life. But in the end, her plans backfired and the heartbreaking truth was revealed. After finding love with Michael only to have it be ripped apart when her plot was exposed, the two eventually made it back together only for her to be revealed as an even more dangerous schemer than anyone could have imagined!
Relive Nelle's dramatic life story on GH in our special gallery below where we chronicle all her most memorable moments and shocking revelations!

Q: Rake test fails with LoadError, looking in home directory When I try to run "rake test" on my newly generated rails application I receive the following error

Command failed with status (1): [/Users/user/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p0/b...]

Tasks: TOP => test:units
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I am guessing that this is related to my setup somehow, as it seems as if rake is looking for the generated files in my home directory instead of the rails application directory. Could you help direct me to what I am doing wrong?
I am using Mac OS X Lion, have two installed ruby versions (1.8.7 come with lion, 1.9.3 which I am using for the application has been installed using rvm).
The application works if I run "rails s".
Update: If I create a new rails application from scratch, adding only a generated scaffold, the rake test command works. Ergo, it might be a incompatibility issue as the failing rails application was created on another computer, uploaded to heroku and then cloned from there to a new computer.

A: Funny story. I'd accidentally put some test code in one of the files, among other containing:
Dir.chdir("../..")

I'm guessing that when I run rake test the file got executed to load the class contained in the file, and caused problems when looking for the next file, when the current directory had suddenly changed.

'UFO flying saucer hovering over sea off Hastings' mystery solved
Hastings: Police called after report of teenage boys 'shoplifting at Primark'
Book reservation fees could be scrapped and services expanded at East Sussex's libraries
Plans to improve libraries in East Sussex could see reservation fees being scrapped and services expanded.
By Huw Oxburgh, Local Democracy Reporter
Thursday, 9th December 2021, 2:24 pm
East Sussex County Council runs 17 libraries
Next week, Claire Dowling, East Sussex County Council's lead member for transport and environment, is set to consider a report on updating the authority's libraries commissioning strategy.
This updated strategy includes plans to expand library services through a range of activities — such as children's homework and code clubs — intended to support education, health, job prospects and digital inclusion.
Changes included in the updated strategy include plans to do away with reservation fees, making it so people can reserve books from across the council's whole catalogue and collect them at their local library for free.
Current library locations
The strategy would also see the council expand its 'Jobs Pod' offer, which provides library users with a confidential space, a computer and support to take part in online job interviews.
The council also intends to expand its Step into Reading adult literacy courses and its employment support services, which provide access to training, skills and qualifications, as well as help preparing for interviews, with a particular focus on 16– 24 year-olds.
Another outreach programme set for expansion is 'IT for You at Home' project, which sees the council loan out tablets and laptops to encourage digital inclusion. The council intends to procure up to 1,000 tablets and laptops and to continue building up a group of trained volunteers for the project.
As well as this, the council would expand its service providing free period products in libraries.
While Cllr Dowling is set to make a formal decision on whether the council should adopt the updated strategy on Monday, a draft version of the document is publicly available and includes a foreword from her.
In it, she said, "This updated strategy sets out the path for the Library and Information Service for the next five years, taking into consideration the service's ability to support residents' needs with access to services in libraries, online and through community outreach that support reading and literacy, health and wellbeing, economic recovery and digital inclusion.
"Significant progress has been made since the launch of the previous strategy in 2018. The service has reviewed this work and analysed how it can best support residents going forward, building on good practice and adding new service offers.
"I am confident that the Library and Information Service will continue to deliver high quality services that support individuals and communities, particularly those with the greatest needs, with their literacy, attainment, employment, health and wellbeing.
"These are needs which the Library and Information Service is ideally placed to help tackle."
As it stands the strategy would see the council maintain all 17 of its existing libraries with no changes to opening hours.
All 17 libraries will also continue offering free access to computers and Wi-Fi, as well as support in the form of 'computer buddies' and IT literacy courses.
However, the council says it is looking at how it uses its library buildings "to identify whether library services could be delivered in the same locality in a more cost-effective way."
This could include the libraries using less space, allowing other parts of the building to be leased out, council documents say.
The council also says it there is a potential to move library services to "different locations" to "reduce costs or deliver a better service" at some point in the future, although no specific plans are referenced.
On top of its physical buildings and services, the council will continue to provide its eLibrary service, through which residents can download ebooks, magazines and audiobooks.

Headquarters | Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP)
EPA Releases First Major Update to Chemicals List in 40 Years
EPA Press Office (press@epa.gov)
WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released an update of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory listing the chemicals that are actively being manufactured, processed and imported in the United States.
A key result of the update is that less than half of the total number of chemicals on the current TSCA Inventory (47 percent or 40,655 of the 86,228 chemicals) are currently in commerce. As the result of a tremendous effort on behalf of thousands of stakeholders and manufacturers from across the country, this information will help EPA focus risk evaluation efforts on chemicals that are still on the market.
"It's important for us to know which chemicals are actually in use today. This will help us with our work prioritizing chemicals, evaluating and addressing risks. This information also increases transparency to the public," said Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention Assistant Administrator Alexandra Dapolito Dunn.
As recently as 2018, the TSCA Inventory showed over 86,000 chemicals available for commercial production and use in the U.S. Until this update, it was not known which of these chemicals on the TSCA Inventory were actually in commerce. Under amended TSCA – The Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21 Century Act – EPA was required to update the list and designate which chemicals are active or inactive in U.S. commerce.
More than 80 percent (32,898) of the chemicals in commerce have identities that are not Confidential Business Information (CBI), increasing public access to additional information about them. For the less than 20 percent of the chemicals in commerce that have confidential identities, EPA is developing a rule outlining how the Agency will review and substantiate all CBI claims seeking to protect the specific chemical identities of substances on the confidential portion of the TSCA Inventory.
From August 11, 2017 through October 5, 2018, chemical manufacturers and processors provided information on which chemicals were manufactured, imported or processed in the U.S. over the past ten years, the period ending June 21, 2016. The agency received more than 90,000 responses, which represents a significant reporting effort by manufacturers, importers and processors.

Q: Asp.net Web from Dynamic Controls Based on Dynamic controls I'm using a wizard control, step 1 has a list box with a list box containing entries 1-10. Step 2 then dynamically build and displays 1 list box per entry. Each list box in step 2 contains 5 entries each. I have one more step that needs to read the list boxes from step 2 and get their values to display 3 radio buttons per choosen entry from step 2.
Currently I have 3 methods that I run populateStep1() populateStep2() populateStep3(). I run each in Page_Load.
void page_load()
{
    if(!Page.IsPostBack)
    {
      populateStep1();
    }

    populateStep2();
    populateStep3();
}

my problem is that step 3 never works the first time around. It works the second time but not the first. I believe this is because the controls in step 2 have not yet had the viewstate applied so there is nothing chosen.
Anyone want sketch out/point me to a pattern to handle working with dynamic controls that are dependent on other dynamic controls?

A: If you are working with Dynamically added controls then you really need to add them during the Initialization pase of the page life cycle as this will ensure View State is hydrated properly.
Since View State is hydrated before Page_Load, you are adding things too late.
Move your logic into the Page_Init method and you should be golden.
void Page_Init()
{
    if(!Page.IsPostBack)
    {
      populateStep1();
    }

    populateStep2();
    populateStep3();
}


But remember, healthy teeth can be moved at any age, so you've never "missed the boat" for orthodontic treatment. In fact, about one in five of today's orthodontic patients are adults. Several new technological developments — including tooth-colored ceramic braces, clear aligners and invisible lingual braces — have made orthodontic appliances less evident, and enhanced the treatment experience for grown-ups. Before treatment, adults are carefully examined for signs of periodontal (gum) disease, which will be brought under control before treatment begins.

Velocity measurements near an automotive cooling fan.
Due to the increased competition for engine compartment space in automobile design, an increased emphasis has been placed on automotive cooling fan performance. The goal of this study was to design and execute an experiment to measure all three components of the phase-averaged velocity field on planes upstream of an automotive cooling fan. The measurements were conducted with the use of a single component, backward-scatter, fibre optic Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA). The fan was located in a fan test facility, designed so that the fan speed and flow rate could accurately and independently be controlled. The facility was also designed so that the boundary conditions were symmetrical and the flow upstream and downstream could be characterized as being unbounded. The results of this experimental study are to be used for validating a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model of a fan that has been developed independently and has the same design and flow conditions.

Proposal to honor Ohio popular presidential vote withdrawn
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A ballot measure proposing to give Ohio's electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote has been withdrawn.
The proposed amendment would have forced lawmakers to assure the Electoral College's votes were delivered to whichever candidate won the most votes nationally, rather than the most votes within Ohio.
Organizers of the proposed constitutional amendment withdrew the measure Tuesday in a letter to Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose. Ohioans for Making Every Vote Matter, the group behind the effort, said in a statement that there wasn't sufficient time for gathering enough signatures to qualify for the Nov. 5, 2019, ballot.
The group added that it plans to continue working to "raise the importance of a national popular vote" for the presidential election with Ohio voters.
COLUMBUS (WCMH) -- Ohio passed a grim milestone, Friday, after the Department of Health announced that more than 10,000 people in the state have died from COVID-19.

This chapter describes the harms that abuse of buyer power causes including both exploitation of producers and exclusion of competing buyers. It highlights the global dimensions of the problems that abuse of buyer power is causing.
This chapter provides an analysis of buyer power and its measurement. It starts by pointing out that for competition policy the distinction between 'monopsony' and 'buyer power' is only a matter of degree. A firm possessing either form of power can engage in abusive conduct. Hence, the appropriate focus is on the potential for abuse rather than some abstract label. Buyer power can be usefully separated into two categories. The first involves situations where the buyer is obtaining inputs or components for its product. The second situation involves the distribution of branded consumer goods. The sources of power in the two situations are different and the structural thresholds of concern are also different. Branded good producers need a wide range of outlets and so can be more vulnerable to exploitation of buyer power by multiple buyers than component producers who only need to have sufficient options for sales. The chapter concludes by identifying three factors that increase the potential for buyer power exploitation: the buyer is usually the key decider with respect to both purchase in general and from whom to purchase, arbitrage is much less feasible for producers relative to the options that buyers have, and the nature of buying markets makes self-correction by the market of buyer power inherently more difficult.
This chapter evaluates competition policy toward buyer cartels and buying groups. It starts by defining the two categories. It then argues that despite some plausible theoretical arguments for buyer cartels their overall impact on the competitive process makes them a serious risk that should generally be avoided. In limited circumstances, such cartels may be deemed in the public interest, but if so, a public authority must closely regulate and oversee such activity. Buying groups, on the other hand, are likely to add to market efficiency and so should be allowed unless they incorporate such a large share of buying that they create an undue risk of buyer power. If a group must have a substantial share to achieve efficiency, it rules and conduct must be closely examined to avoid unnecessary risk to competition. In most instances, such levels of concentration are unnecessary to achieve the efficiency enhancing effects of buyer groups. Hence, such groups should not be allowed to exist. The chapter also briefly reviews the analysis of vertical restraints imposed by buyers on producers. Chapter 5 had addressed this topic as well. Strict controls over the creation of undue buyer power and buyer cartels will enhance the overall competitive process because this will avoid the creation of the kind of power that Chapters 5 and 6 showed to be difficult or impossible to regulation.
This chapter examines the actual and potential rules that can govern abusive unilateral conduct by buyers. It reviews existing laws on both exploitation and exclusion as well as the potential remedies available for such conduct. It concludes that there are serious impediments to effective definition of standards to govern such conduct as well as to remedy it. These difficulties are especially significant when the abuse is exploitive. Exclusionary abuses are more remediable but that requires a stricter standard than is currently used. Moreover, even such remedies may not restore workably competitive buying markets. The chapter also examines the potential for structure remedies, that is, restructuring the buyer side of the market, which, while promising in theory, are both unlikely and present serious problems of defining the conduct that would justify such intervention. The conclusion is that direct remedy for unilateral abuse of dominant buyer power is very difficult and so every effort should be made to avoid allowing such power to be created.
This chapter summarizes the central points of this book. It reiterates the conclusion that buyer power is a significant threat to the competitive process. But consistent with Chapters 5 and 6 control of such power once it exists is difficult. For that reason, competition policy should focus on policies that can avoid or limit the creation of such power. Specifically, this means that a robust merger standard and clear limits on the scope of buying groups are key components for competition policy. The chapter also argues that the scope of the buyer power problem is more pervasive than most common illustrations, including those relied on in this book, might suggest. Lastly, the chapter points out that the global nature of many of the buyer power issues identified means that existing national law enforcement may be unable to provide effective control even if it has the appropriate policies. While this issue is beyond the scope of this specific project, it is an important one for competition policy generally and especially for policy to control abusive buyer power.
This chapter addresses merger policy where the merger will enhance buyer power. By forbidding such mergers, it is possible to limit the emergence of buyer power. The chapter shows, first, that such mergers create competitive risks analogous to those created by mergers that increase seller power, but it also focuses on the ways in which buyer side effects are distinct because of potential harms from even modest increases in buyer concentration, the greater durability of buyer power (compared to seller power), and the potential that the effects of such mergers will primarily impact upstream markets rather than the one most directly changed by the merger. This analysis leads to a discussion of buyer side merger analysis including market definition, the market share triggers for concern and the defenses that might be considered. The chapter ends with a review of actual enforcement of merger law with respect to buyer issues in the United States, the EU, and elsewhere in the world. The basic conclusion from that review is that buyer side concerns are significantly under-emphasized in contemporary merger enforcement.
This chapter addresses the choice of goals for competition law and policy. It describes goals based on economic theory (maximizing consumer welfare, aggregate welfare or producer welfare), fairness in the competition and promoting and protecting the competitive process itself. The chapter argues that the last of these options is the best basic goal because neither economic theory nor fairness provide a coherent basis for policy over time given the dynamics of markets and the ambiguity of both economic theory and fairness. But even the goal of promoting and protecting the competitive process is not self-defining because determining the appropriate degree of legal intervention is dependent on the assessment of the risks to the competitive process if there were no intervention. Given the many examples of market failure, the chapter concludes that the legal system must provide significant oversight of the competitive process in order to ensure the long-term viability of the competitive process.
This chapter identifies, describes and evaluates alternative ways to limit or regulate the abuse of unilateral buyer power. The first category is that of more general regulation of conduct which can specifically address strategic conduct by dominant buyers, provide overall regulation of market participants regardless of power, set floors or other constraints on transactions, or provide sponsorship for alternative outlets for producers. The second category involves creating off-setting power in producers either by authorizing producer cartels or permitting integration, vertical or horizontal, by producers. Finally, public authorities can create alternative markets for producers. Each of these strategies has some capacity to limit abusive buyer conduct, but each is also fraught with difficulties both in defining standards and in achieving the goal of constraining buyer abuses. The implication, consistent with Chapter 5, is that remedying buyer power problems once the power exists is likely to have only limited effectiveness.
This chapter describes the harms to competition that can result from the abuse of buyer power. It starts with an analysis of harms resulting from exploitation that include depressed prices, discrimination among producers, uncompensated shifting of risks and costs to producers and the potential that the harms will flow upstream to suppliers of the supplier. It then describes the exclusionary harms that buyer power can cause to competitors of the buyer both as buyers and in any downstream markets where they compete. These practices include exclusive contracts, inducing refusals to deal by producers, most favored nation type clauses in buying contracts and predatory buying practices that increase the cost of inputs to competitors of the buyer. The final part of the chapter argues that abuse of buyer power generally and monopsony in particular is more harmful to the competitive process than is abuse of monopoly.

Ford's lightweight-crossover SUV also advantages of a trio of engine decisions, as well as the one which delivers 245 horsepower. A different reduce for 2020, the SEL, fills up the bright place and price gap in between the medium-level SE and selection-topping Titanium. With sporting driving a motor vehicle manners plus a towing potential all the way to 3,500 weight, the Escape remains to be a properly-round preference within the ever before-very competitive stream-lined-crossover-SUV world.

The Escape SUV took advantage of a vast-which range remake a year ago. Virtually any effect work surface was modified to make an additional premium appearance, a procedure that ought to always keep this 2-row/5-traveler lightweight-crossover SUV refreshing within the several years forward. The Escape's electrical vehicle parking braking system and repositioned transition handle lessen accessibility local weather settings and heart-bunch press container with Universal serial bus dock and 12V energy position. Other changes incorporated a lot more person-welcoming multi-function controls, re-contoured leading buckets, a more substantial facility armrest and larger covered unit container. Shedding the 60/40 retract-level back chair increases the useful storage space from 34. to 68. cubic ft.
3 motors keep on being easily obtainable in the Escape, even though this current year everyone is related to precise trims. Each one is 4-tube powerplants associated with a 6-quickness electronic transmission. Starting point Ford Escape S types work with a 2.5-litre, in-front-tire commute (FWD) only. Ford Escape SE plus the new SEL make use of a 1.5-litre EcoBoost turbocharged engine with FWD standard and all-wheel drive (AWD) suggested. Even though smaller compared to the 2.5-litre, it includes increased horsepower (179 compared to. 168) because of the compelled induction of turbocharging. Now only at the Titanium unit will be the 2.-liter, which delivers 245 hp and may pull 3,500 fat. It far too is FWD or AWD, and that we advise the second to circumvent torque guide.

D&H Launches Professional Service Business
Distributor to build on initiative in first half of next year
D&H Distributing is establishing a professional service business that kicked off late this year and will continue to be phased in throughout the first half of 2021.
The Lowdown: The Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-based tech distributor in August hired Tiffany Ward as director of professional services and later in the year invested in its white glove and integration offering.
The Details: The professional service business, announced this week, will fall under D&H's Cloud and Services Business Unit, which is led by Vice President Jason Bystrak. D&H will formalize and build on some existing services, as well as launch new ones. The professional service offerings will include:
> White Glove and Integration Services: The goal is to create turnkey solutions that can be paid for through a monthly license. The distributor is ramping up this existing area with more device enrollment, asset tagging, on-site assessments, and laser etching of hardware. It will include help desk services and a combination of hardware and software from OEMs such as Lenovo and HP bundled with software and security services. MSPs can resell the services under a white-label model.
> Managed Services: The formalized service will enable VARs and MSPs to attach targeted services to devices and infrastructure. It will include services such as device management and security, infrastructure management and security, and help desk services. In addition, partners can customize the managed services and deliver them under their own brand and lean on D&H experts for assistance. It will launch in the spring.
> Project Services: D&H is expanding its project service offerings to supplement its strategic initiatives in such areas as professional audio and visual, e-sports, cloud, data center and network infrastructure, and security. New offerings will be added to the existing project services, including assessments, migrations, and on-site installation services. VARs and MSPs will be able to add their own capabilities and sell the services under the own brand.
The Impact: These services dovetail with existing programs from D&H, including its Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS) and Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) offerings, through which partners can offer end clients bundles of hardware, solutions, and services aimed at vertical markets and financed through monthly payments.
Background: The announcement about professional services comes the same day the distributor said it saw VAR growth of almost 25% since May, driven in part by the sharp increase in demand for technologies like laptops, webcams, and displays as the COVID-19 pandemic set in and many organizations shifted to a work-from-home model. The company also saw a 14% increase in sales between May and November.
The Buzz: "D&H realized that its partners could achieve terrific margins if they could bundle services with every hardware sale, not only increasing revenue for those partners, but enhancing their ability to win business by bringing a total solution to the table," Ward said. "We're working to create a more robust, high-value service portfolio for channel partners, making D&H a single-source destination to fulfill the business needs of their end-customers."

KUCHING: Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) president Tan Sri William Mawan Ikom and Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) former assistant secretary-general Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh have quit their respective parties to join newly-formed Parti Tenaga Rakyat Sarawak (TERAS).
Joining them are Baram Member of Parliament, Anyie Ngau and eight SPDP assemblymen, among them Datuk Sylvester Entri Muran, Datuk Peter Nansian Ngusie, Rosey Yunus and Paulus Palu Gumbang.
Three assemblymen from SUPP followed Soon Koh's move. They are Dr Jerip Susil, Ranum Mina and Johnicol Rayong.
An opposition assemblyman, George Lagong of the Sarawak Workers Party (SWP) also joined in TERAS.
In a hastily-called press conference here today, Mawan, who is also a senior minister in the State Cabinet and Member of Parliament for Saratok, said he quit because he had been "elbowed out" from SPDP.
Mawan, who had been the SPDP president since its formation in November 2002, said several leaders in the party were against the recent reinstatement of the membership of Entri, Nansian, Rosey and Paulus.
"The reason I brought them back was to strengthen the party with the common desire to serve and consolidate Barisan Nasional," he said.
He said his decision to quit should not be likened to a captain abandoning his ship but more to being a victim of mutiny.
"(As a captain) I have been thrown overboard," he said.
He said several other senior members of SPDP, including Mas Gading Member of Parliament, Anthony Nogeh, were expected to follow suit.
Mawan said they would apply to become a Barisan Nasional (BN) component party and believed Sarawak Chief Minister and State BN chairman, Tan Sri Adenan Satem, would have a formula to accept them even if there was resistance from SPDP or SUPP.
Meanwhile, Soon Koh, who had been at loggerheads with SUPP president Tan Sri Peter Chin, said he decided to quit SUPP after finding out that there was nothing forthcoming from the peace plan for the party proposed by the BN top leadership.
"Because of the breakdown in the peace plan, we don't want to keep quarrelling and are tired of the squabblings, we have to go," he said.
Adenan, meanwhile, told reporters that he would comment on the matter after listening to the views of all those involved.
"I will let them have their say first and I will give my comments at an appropriate time," he said.

G.W. Bowersock (trans.), Lorenzo Valla, On the Donation of Constantine. The I Tatti Renaissance Library, 24. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2007. Pp. xvi, 206. ISBN 10: 0-674-02533-4. ISBN 13: 978-0-674-02533-2. $29.95.
This book, volume 24 of the I Tatti Renaissance Library, contains a new translation of Lorenzo Valla's (1407-1457) famous work De falso credita et ementita Constantini donatione, with a facing Latin text and endnotes keyed to the translation (p. 2-161; 187-195). The Latin text and translation are preceded by an historical introduction on the genesis of the work and its reception in the sixteenth century (p. vi-xv), and followed by the Latin text and translation of the Constitutum Constantini (p. 162-183; notes at p. 195-198). A short bibliography and an index (p. 199-206) conclude the volume.
The Constitutum Constantini is a fake medieval charter the origin of which is disputed. It consists of two parts, the first containing the legend of Constantine and Silvester, the second comprising the actual Donation of Constantine, in which the Roman emperor donates the Lateran Palace and the rule of the City of Rome and the entire Western Roman Empire to the pope, who had baptized him and cured him of leprosy. The earliest source of this forgery is the Pseudo-Isidorian False Decretals, a collection of canonical texts dating from around 850. Although the Donation contains flagrant historical mistakes, as Marsilius of Padua (ca. 1280-1342/3) had already showed, several medieval popes used it to support their claim to worldly power. In Lorenzo Valla's time the Donation was included in the glosses (paleae) to the Decretum Gratiani, an important collection of canonical texts from the twelfth century. During the Council of Ferrara and Florence (1438-1439) it was used once more to support the primacy of the pope. As his correspondence reveals, Valla took a keen interest in all the theological and legal issues discussed at this Council. In the first part of 1440 he wrote his famous treatise, in which he both exposes the Donation as a clumsy artefact by a stupid deceiver and condemns in a sharp polemical tone the pope's claim to worldly power, which everyone took for granted. The historical background to Valla's work is duly passed in review in the introduction, but one feels that the author could have argued more clearly that the issue at stake for Valla was theological and moral rather than scholarly or political.
Valla's treatise is cast in the form of a speech, or rather, several speeches, addressed both to historical figures such as the forger of the Donation, and to the peoples and rulers of his own time.Valla called it an oratio; in the sixteenth century it was commonly labelled a declamatio. Bowersock writes in the introduction that Valla's attack on the Donation is 'an extension of his literary and philosophical interests' (p. vii) and that it is 'rewarding simply as a bravura exercise in rhetoric and philology' (p. x). These judgments fail in my view to fully recognize the theological and moral objective Valla set himself with this fervent piece of rhetoric. Valla declares at the beginning of his argument that he musters up his courage to face condemnation by the pope in defense of truth and justice: 'Forti animo, magna fiducia, bona spe defendenda est causa veritatis, causa iustitie, causa Dei! Neque enim verus est habendus orator, qui bene scit dicere, nisi et dicere audeat.' (With a bold spirit, great confidence, and good hope, the cause of truth, the cause of justice, and the cause of God must be defended. No one who knows to speak well can be considered a true orator unless he also dares to speak out; section 2, p. 5). He confirms his determination to stand firm for the good cause in a letter to Ludovico Trevisan from 19 November 1443, quoted in the introduction, in which he writes that 'he could not suppress or emend the work even if he had to' (p. ix). This spirit is also conveyed in a letter from 31 December of the same year to his Greek teacher Giovanni Aurispa, also quoted (p. viii), in which he made the significant statement that his work on the Donation of Constantine is the most oratorical speech he had ever written ('oratio qua nihil magis oratorium scripsi'). Valla's impassioned yet steadfast plea against the pope's claim to worldly power is his way to give shape to the classical ideal of the orator as a vir bonus who acts as a responsible leader in the public areas proper to him. Initially it failed to attract due attention, but when the humanist and reformed scholar Ulrich von Hutten printed it in 1518 and 1519 to press home Valla's example, its power as a political pamphlet (declamatio) against the Church became manifest at last, and it gained the celebrity it deserved. Unlike the translation included in the edition of Valla's treatise by Christopher Coleman (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1922, reprinted by the University of Toronto Press, 1993), Bowersock's translation is not only meant to help readers who wish to study Valla's Latin, but also to supply an independent English counterpart. It succeeds happily in both respects, and given the complexity of the subject matter and the brilliance of Valla's prose, this is a great achievement. I venture a single remark on the translation of 'paginam privilegii' in section 40 (p. 65). The translation 'the text of the grant' does not adequately represent the medieval sense of the word ('document, charter'), which Valla ridicules here and, more elaborately, in section 66, where he dwells on the correct, classical meaning of the word; in section 69, Valla employs with sarcasm the word in its medieval sense: 'pagine exemplar', this time properly translated as 'a copy of the document' (p. 115). In the endnotes keyed to the translation the historical, biblical and juridical quotations and references in Valla's text are duly identified, occasionally supplemented with brief explanations. The bulk of the material for the notes is drawn from Wolfram Setz's excellent critical edition of Valla's treatise (Weimar: Hermann Böhlaus Nachfolger, 1976; reprint München: Monumenta Germaniae Historica, 1986). I noticed only two small errors: in section 4, the source of the quotation 'avaritie, que est idolorum servitus' (Ephesians 5.5) has been omitted in the notes; in section 78, both Setz and Bowersock have overlooked that in the passage 'Nec persuaderi possum hos scriptores ... fuisse ... fideles habentes quidem emulationem Dei, sed non secundum scientiam, ...' Valla quotes Romans 10.2. On the whole, both the translation and the accompanying notes are of good quality and can very well be recommended to anyone interested in the subject matter.
1. Valla's habit of writing separately the enclitics -ve and -ne, as well as et si, quis nam, tam et si (but tam et si has been maintained in section 81, and we read tam etsi in sections 66 and 77). Valla's tam diu has been maintained everywhere.
2. Valla's habit of writing in one word idest (while iandudum, necnon, nequis, quandiu have been maintained).
Moreover, Valla's benivolentia, iocundius, iccirco have been changed to benevolentia, iucundius and idcirco, while his usage of dropping s after ex- has been maintained, except in sections 1 (exsecratione) and 4 (exspectare).
Finally, Setz's spelling, based on a close study of the entire manuscript tradition, has been changed in: temptabunt/tentabunt (section 16), mediusfidius/medius fidius (section 17), Trachiam/Traciam (sections 46, 47 and 48), pretiosis/preciosis (section 50), prodiisset/prodisset (section 75), genitricis/genetricis (section 78), condicione/conditione (section 90), T. Flaminius/Titus Flaminius (section 94). Quite remarkably, Bowersock's spelling of these words is also that of Coleman's edition. Moreover, in twelve places Bowersock follows the reading of Coleman's text, not Setz's: sacerdotem/pontificem (section 1), agnoscat/agnoscant (section 16), dignationem/dignitatem (section 26), sufficiet/sufficiat (section 32), alio volebat/volebat alio (section 45), patescet/patescit (section 49), senatorem quam patricium esse/senatorem esse quam patricium (section 54), videt/vidit (section 57; the translation maintains the present tense), et tueor/ac tueor, and the erroneous aerem/erem (section 74), quenquam/quenque (section 89), possimus/possumus (section 96).
Altogether, these numerous changes reveal that Bowersock's text does not reproduce that of Setz, as it is claimed in the editorial note, and it lacks any explanation of its own editorial principles.
In an appendix the complete Latin text of the Constitutum Constantini is given with a facing English translation and notes. The Latin text is that of Horst Fuhrmann, who made a thorough study of the long and complicated manuscript tradition of the Constitutum Constantini (Hannover: Hahnsche Buchhandlung, 1968), with minor changes adopted from other versions than the one followed by Fuhrmann (in addition to the changes mentioned in the editorial note, p. 186, Bowersock reads 'domino' instead of 'domno' in section 20). This appendix is a useful addition to Valla's text, but we must not forget that Valla read the Donation (i.e., the second part of the Constitutum Constantini) in the Decretum Gratiani, namely in part 1, Distinctio XCVI (a chapter devoted to the relations of power between the pope and the emperor), canons 13 and 14 (Corpus iuris canonici, vol. 1, ed. Aem. Friedberg, Leipzig: B. Tauchnitz, 1897, reprint Graz: Akademische Druck- und Verlagsanstalt, 1995, 342-345; this text is reproduced in Coleman's edition of Valla's treatise, p. 10-19).
A bibliography and a brief index of names and subjects conclude the volume.
All in all, this new edition of Valla's Oration on the Donation of Constantine leaves one with mixed feelings. Valla's great work brilliantly exemplifies the essential characteristics of fifteenth-century Renaissance humanism and played an important role in the vigorous sixteenth-century debate on the religious and political position of the Church and the Vatican State. For these reasons, we can only be very thankful that the I Tatti Renaissance Library has made it accessible to a wide audience by means of a good annotated translation. Regrettably, the accompanying Latin text falls short of what may be expected from a scholarly publication of the status vouched for by a leading University Press.

Last year we brought you Transit Insights, a visual tool to track changes in transit ridership, service hours, fares, and other important indicators of transit quality in American cities. We've just released a new version, with fresh data and features to make it even easier to explore transit trends. Here's a look at what's in the update.
New ways to look at bus and rail data
With the updated website, you can look up key metrics of transit operations and performance by different modes. This can help illuminate how public policy influences changes in ridership.
Take LA Metro, the main transit agency in Los Angeles. Metro's overall vehicle revenue miles (VRM) increased 19% from 2006 to 2018. Usually people respond to greater levels of service by riding transit more, but LA Metro's overall transit ridership actually decreased 18% during this same period. Using Transit Insights, you can isolate VRM by mode, which makes sense of these seemingly contradictory trends.
Breaking down the change in service volume by mode, bus service miles actually decreased 21%, while rail increased 80%. That helps explain why bus ridership, which accounts for most trips people take on LA Metro, declined 30% over this period.
In addition to the mode-by-mode metrics, Transit Insights has two new indicators: paratransit ridership and average monthly housing rent. And all data has been updated to the most recent years available (through 2018 for most data; through 2017 for LEHD jobs data).
More legible demographic information
In addition to transit metrics, Transit Insights includes layers of demographic data for regions and census tracts. With the update you can pull up demographic information for each year from 2010 to 2018. Previously this data had only been viewable as changes over time. Making the data available year-by-year makes it easier to compare demographic characteristics across geographic areas and see how they relate to transit.
For instance, single-year demographic data demonstrate that when DART opened the extension of the Orange Line to Dallas-Fort Worth Airport in 2012, the residential patterns around the new stations were worse suited for rail service than other parts of Dallas. The Orange Line extension was built through communities that were less dense, had higher median incomes, lower proportions of zero-car households, and lower shares of transit commuters in 2012 than the area southwest of the Red Line. By choosing the Orange Line extension, elected officials and transit policy makers prioritized transit service for visitors, business travelers, and airport workers over investments elsewhere in the region that would have served more residents. As of 2018, the Orange Line had the lowest ridership of DART's four light rail lines.
A better user experience
New features in Transit Insights make it easier to use, including:
Clearer comparisons between cities: When comparing metrics from different agencies or regions using the "parallel coordinate plot" or "sparklines" features, color-coding makes it easier to distinguish between trendlines. Hover captions also include data points for the first and last year of the time selection and the percentage change over that period of time.
Focus on demographic data near frequent transit: In the regional view, you can "filter tracts" to view demographic trends in neighborhoods within walking distance of all high-frequency transit, or you can view high-frequency transit provided only by a specific agency.
Built-in glossary: Users can hover over each metric in the dropdown list to view definitions for each. In addition, check marks signify which transit and demographic data are most consistently collected and reported, with the lowest margins of error.
We're excited to share these new features with you and welcome your questions about how to use the tool, suggestions for improving the tool, and examples of real-world application of Transit Insights in your work. Send your feedback to [email protected] or tweet @TransitCenter.
Transit Insights draws on standardized data from the FTA's National Transit Database, U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey and LEHD, and Transit.Land.
Three Reasons We're Excited to See Debra Johnson Take Charge at Denver RTD
Debra Johnson, the first woman to hold the top leadership post at RTD, and the first CEO since 1995 to be hired from the outside rather than promoted from within, will bring a fresh eye and a multi-city resume that's relevant to RTD's challenges.
Mapping Route-By-Route Who's Riding Transit During the Pandemic
To meet the needs of people who have been most affected by the pandemic, agencies should go beyond the initial transition to weekend schedules and adapt service in response to shifting travel patterns.


Reichenau island is located at Lake Constance between Radolfzell and Constance. The 4.3 km² large island belongs to the southern Baden municipality of Reichenau in the district of Constance, which comprises island and mainland areas (5100 inhabitants).
The island of Reichenau is just two kilometres away from the northern shore of Lake Constance's Untersee. The 4.5 km long and maximum 1.5 km wide Reichenau is not only the largest island in terms of area, but with around 3,300 inhabitants also the most populous island in Lake Constance. The numerous fields still bear witness today to agricultural cultivation of the "rich Au".
Among the most beautiful points of interest of the island are the churches and monasteries, including the cathedral St. Maria and Jacob which is a Catholic parish church and former monastery church of the Benedictine abbey Reichenau. In addition the church St. George and the church St. Peter and Paul as well as many others. The island is therefore also called Klosterinsel (church island). Since 2000, the Reichenau monastery has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
How to get to Reichenau ?
If you want to visit the island, you do not necessarily have to take a boat over from the mainland. Since 1838, the approximately 20 m wide island dam, lined with rows of poplars, has connected Reichenau, today with a motorway, footpath and cycle path, the mainland with the island.
The Reichenau island is a great destination for family trips. Cycling trips are as much a part of the possible activities as swimming and diving. The museum of of Reichenau is located in the "old town hall" in the centre of the island.
The building was built around 1200, the half-timbered building was built around the 15th century. It is one of the oldest half-timbered houses in southern Germany. With a canoe, one can drive around the whole island or down the Rhine in the direction of Konstanz. Sport and playgrounds offer many other possibilities to enjoy their holidays for children on the island of Reichenau.
