Colorado Direct Financial Incentives
Colorado's economic development, finance and tax organizations provide a range of incentive programs to initiate new business and commercial investment.
Colorado Basic Business Taxes
Grants/loans:
The Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) allocates and administers federal Community Development Block Grant funds, which are set aside for business finance projects. Loans and infrastructure grants are provided for projects that create or retain jobs principally for low- or moderate-income persons.
OEDIT uses its allocation of funds to capitalize the state's Business Loan Funds. Currently, the state has 15 Business Loan Fund locations that have service areas covering the majority of the rural areas of the state. The state's program does not cover any of the metropolitan or entitlement cities in Colorado, since these communities receive their own allocation of funds. For loans, contact the state regional revolving loan funds. Businesses interested in infrastructure grants should contact OED/IT directly.
In addition, any business locating or expanding in the state is potentially eligible for Economic Development Commission funds. Projects must demonstrate a high potential for success and economic impact. Incentive packages are designed to assist with existing business expansions and new company relocations in order to promote job creation and retention in all regions of the state. In determining whether to approve incentive awards, the EDC reviews the number of jobs created, average salary levels, location and other factors. Incentives may be in the form of tax credits authorized by statute or direct, performance-based payments.
Certified Capital Companies (CAPCOs) are for-profit companies that are authorized to provide equity, debt or other forms of financing for start-up or expanding businesses in Colorado. Contact information for the CAPCOs may be found on the OED/IT website.
The Colorado Venture Capital Authority (VCA), through its selected fund manager (High Country Venture, LLC) established a fund of approximately $25 million to make seed- and early-stage capital investments in Colorado businesses. The VCA anticipates the establishment of a second fund of approximately $25 million in 2010.
Advanced Industries Accelerator Programs
The Advanced Industries (AI) Accelerator Programs (HB 13-1001, HB 13-1193) were created in 2013 to promote growth and sustainability in these industries by helping drive innovation, accelerate commercialization, encourage public-private partnerships, increase access to early stage capital and create a strong ecosystem that increases the state's global competitiveness.
Advanced industries are prime drivers of the U.S. and Colorado economy, comprised of engineering and R&D intensive companies that deliver products and services in industries ranging from aerospace to medical devices.
Colorado's advanced industries include: advanced manufacturing, aerospace, bioscience, electronics, energy and natural resources (including Cleantech), infrastructure engineering, and technology and information. The economic impact of these industries account for nearly 30 percent of the state's wage earnings, nearly 30 percent of the total sales revenues across all industries within the state and nearly 35 percent of the state's total exports.
As part of the statewide strategy to support these critical industries in their various phases of growth, OEDIT offers four types of grants and two global business programs. Grants are available for Proof of Concept, Early-Stage Capital & Retention, Infrastructure Funding and AI Exports. A network of consultants and export training program are also available as part of the AI Global Business Programs to support these industries as they strive for worldwide markets.
Bioscience Discovery Evaluation Grant Program:
The Early-Stage Bioscience Company grants up to $250,000 are intended to spur economic development and help new companies born out of Colorado research institutions to succeed in developing new technologies, business structures and product development. Grants are accessible to qualified Early-Stage Companies whose technology is licensed from a qualified Research Institution. Grants will support the commercialization of therapeutic or diagnostic products, devices, or instruments to improve human health; bioscience technologies that improve agriculture or biofuels.
The Proof-of-Concept grants under the Bioscience Discovery Evaluation Grant Program (BDEGP) are intended to support bioscience discoveries that will likely lead to the development of new products, services, businesses and employment in the bioscience industry in Colorado. Grants up to $150,000 are open to Offices of Technology Transfer (OTT) affiliated with qualified Research Institutions in order to enhance the commercial potential of bioscience research projects that focus on life sciences, engineering, material sciences computer sciences, photonics, or nanotechnology.
The current Bioscience Discovery Evaluation Grant (BDEG) program will operate under its current rules, guidelines and format. On January 1, 2015, the BDEG program will merge with the AI Accelerator Program and both will operate under this program's rules and guidelines.
Customized training:
The Colorado First Customized Training Program provides training assistance for the expansion of existing companies and the development of new firms. Companies receiving assistance must be non-retail in nature, and jobs must be permanent and non-seasonal.
The Colorado Existing Industry Training Program provides assistance for training for companies that are undergoing a major technological change, and for training or retraining their workers for specific jobs where training is deemed crucial for the continued success of the company. Companies must be non-retail in nature, and jobs must be permanent and non-seasonal. For both programs, companies must provide 40 percent of these training costs.

It's hard to believe DeBethune turned 10 this year. In just a decade the brand, a combination of the design skills of David Zanetta and the technical virtuosity of Denis Flageollet, has done virtually the impossible for an independent. They do it all in-house, from movement to hands to balance wheels. And, they've achieved 10 individual calibres, and fourteen patents and innovations along the way. No rest for the wicked.
This year DeBethune graces us with the Titan Hawk, a calendar watch as sleek as the bird of prey it's named after. The first piece in the new, lower-priced DB27 series, the watch is powered by the entirely new self-winding caliber S233, a modular movement named for the specific gravity of silicon. Flageollet took a modular approach in order to be able to add on complications down the line.
On view through the dome in the case back, you see the silicon and white gold annular balance wheel finished of with a terminal curve. The curves of the case make it seem like you're looking under the hood of an in-line engine.
Even at the lower price-point of $37,000CHF DeBethune still comes through by providing the technological innovation the company built its reputation on. In addition to the balance wheel, the Titan Hawk incorporates the self-regulating twin barrel, triple parechute shock-absorbing system and those lugs, those fantastic floating lugs with pivoting system in grade-5 titanium, to hug any sized wrist.
Perhaps $37,000CHF doesn't seem reasonable, as DeBethune advertises it as their lowest priced model, but compared to others it's about a third of the cost. For an independent with an original in-house movement, the dollar amount isn't unreasonable. For example, the Marin 1, equipped with Peter Speake-Marin's first in-house movement, starts at $34,000.
Flageollet built the motor of the DB27, but Zanetta was responsible for the chassis and he is one hell of a stickler when it comes to his designs. He works on them until he deems them perfect. Look out if you want to change anything including the proportions, like making a smaller case when customers request one. DeBethune did it with the DB10 but Zanetta wasn't too happy because it wasn't "pure" anymore.
Think of Zanetta like a fussy chef. Change one part of a recipe and the creation is a total bust and he wants to cancel the dinner party. You can't deny the results though. The DB28, originally made for a Rothschild —yeah, that one from the banking family—won the top prize Aiguille d'Or Grand Prix at the 11th Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix.
The Titan Hawk showcases Zanetta's exacting aesthetic. The well-proportioned 43mm grade-5 titanium case features a mirror polishing that just makes it sing. A signature of DeBethune, the flamed blued hands, pop out from the sparkly silver-toned grained dial. The chapter ring with rounded and raised numerals resembles a life preserver, giving depth to the dial. I like the unusual triangular-shaped calendar pointer to indicate the date on a concentric ring, which seems an unusual design flourish when DeBethune usually gives function to every detail.
The DB27 hits all the right notes allowing admirers to buy in at a more reasonable if not economical level.


Cologne, Germany — August 18, 2016 — Today, during Gamescom, Ubisoft® announced Steep, an action sports game set in the open world of the Alps, will be released on December 2, 2016 on Microsoft Xbox One®, Sony PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.

After five months on a Honda CBR 250R, I decided to up grade and bought a new Monster 1200S. Driving it has been a pleasure, but snaking it back between two cars to its parking space has been a challenge. Yesterday with the week old bike I am riding it into position on the sidewalk and I squeeze the front brake, a total rookie mistake. I drop like a sack of potatoes. The wheels were on the sidewalk, but the bike landed in the grass so almost no damage.
However, I am now trapped under the bike and it takes me 2 or 3 minutes to get loose. I then notice that the bike is leaking fuel, and the fuel is creating a puddle a couple of inches away from the hot exhaust header. Picturing a Monster Apocalypse I start trying to get the bike up, but I can't get enough traction on the grass to push it up. I am down on my knees desperate when I hear a voice from above 'Have you heard of Mike Ablon?' (a Dallas Mayoral candidate).....'no, but if you help me pick up this bike I'll vote for him'. We were able to get the bike up and get it away from the gas. I was lucky to get away with only a cracked mirror.
Lessons learned: don't touch your from brake in slow maneuvers, and it may be OK to snake a 350lb. Honda between parked cars, but not a 470lb. Monster. I now have a group coming over to build a parking pad and gate off the back alley.
I'd love to see the video!
Why... to remind yourself when you dropped yours?
I quite agree. Just thought he had a hilarious description of events.

Will traverse the DOM upwards looking for an <li> element. Once one is found event handling continues.
As said before, there are a few snags in using this otherwise awesome approach.
* Not all events bubble, so this technique doesn't work with all event types. Other events such as mouseout are extra tricky as well. * It can make event code slightly more complicated as you need to resolve the correct target.
* There is the potential for huge performance gains both in time, and reduction in potential memory leaks. * You don't need to rebind events if elements change. Since you capturing events in the parent element, you can update the child elements with Ajax without having to worry about rebinding events. This is another performance gain that is amplified by volume.
So may all your events bubble, and I hope you can use this powerful and efficient technique the next time you hit the wall with events.
It's a nice quick overview of event delegation but you should point out the IE differences, since the event object has different properties to capture the target and to cancel bubbling.
Jon: Good point, I've updated the article to tell about target/srcElement and stopPropagation()/cancelBubble.
Great article, Mark. I learn something new every time I come to your site.
In addition, The contents are masterpiece. you have performed a fantastic process in this matter!

MyBrownBaby On Parenting
What Real Role Models Are Made Of
by Denene Millner — Jan 11, 2010
"I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models…. It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out." Parents have to take better control." —Charles Barkley
I admit it: I thought former NBA player-turned-sports analyst Charles Barkley was a jerk when he said that infamous quote years and years ago. Like, ballers, rappers, movie stars, radio and TV personalities — practically anyone with any remote connection to entertainment — spends their (working) lifetime trying to make us love them, and then the years after their 15 minutes of fame trying to get us to stay in love with them, even though the hotter, younger, better version of them has come along and rendered them completely irrelevant. Did he really think a kid — perhaps one on a school basketball team — who watched him push a basketball up the court wouldn't want to learn some of his on- and off-court moves? Or that a child who maybe dreamed of being a popular singer wouldn't want to study how, say, Janet Jackson became such a meteoric sensation? Or that a star's money and fancy clothes and flashy things wouldn't have some kind of effect on impressionable little people?
I mean, really: Telling kids not to look up to superstars who became superstars by demanding the world look up to them seemed so ridiculous on so many levels, I got hot just hearing Barkley's name.
But then I grew up.
And had me some babies.
And the culture of celebrity made a seismic shift, and all of a sudden, guys weren't just dunking basketballs on the courts but brandishing guns in the locker room. Pretty singers weren't just making beautiful music; they were stumbling across stages and giving slurred, drunken acceptance speeches at awards shows. Even the wholesome, quiet family guy was out apparently sticking and moving practically every chick that crossed his line of vision — and so doggone sloppy about it that now all his side pieces are tousling their hair, glossing up their lips and scampering toward the limelight in search of their own 15 minutes of fame.
Seriously, the cult of celebrity has become so incredibly grimy that I no longer get surprised by the tomfoolery. And I certainly don't look for ways to clean it up when my kids notice the stories screaming from headlines or shouted out on the morning news. Like, yes, the little girl from your favorite kid show sent pictures of her naked body to her boyfriend; she was wrong for that and shouldn't be surprised that all her goodies are now on display for the universe to see. She's a dummy. Learn a lesson — don't be like her. You want some OJ with your cereal?
It's a hard sell, this tactic. It involves not only constant conversation about tricky subjects, but surrounding my babies with people I want them to look up to — who've done something enough to warrant the "hero" status, and who are around us enough for my kids to see it up close, over and over again. When they think of heroes, I want my kids to envision my friend Gretchen, an educator who's fun and relatable and do-or-die helpful — the kind of friend I want my kids to be to their friends. I want them to remember that their Daddy and their papas — all of them — are proud, hardworking, loving men who wouldn't dream of calling a woman out her name or disrespecting their families by relishing in ridiculously, childishly, destructively bad behavior — the qualities my girls should seek in mates of their own. I want them to think of my BFF/sister-in-law Angelou, who is energetic and committed and building her own business, a business dedicated to helping and healing others. That's a helluva business model for kids — self-dependent, innovative, and dedicated to thinking about more than just themselves.
Now Gretchen, Angelou, Nick, and the two papas? They, in my estimation, are heroes — much like the Sunday School teachers and factory workers and hair dressers and bowling team members my mom and dad surrounded me with when I was little, each of them family friends, each of them larger than life. My personal heroes. They weren't rich. They didn't drive fancy cars. They didn't lead glamorous, tabloid-fodder lives. But what they did do was note that we kids were watching them and following their lead and that they had a responsibility to set a good example for the ones coming up behind them.
In essence, they conducted themselves like grown ups.
So go ahead and cut up, "stars." I'm through trying to get you all to understand why we love you and need you to get a little "act right" in ya. I'm busy raising my kids. And they're being raised to not care about you, too.
So I stand corrected, Charles Barkley: After all these years later, turns out you were giving some sound, sage advice. Thank you.
I do not think I ever saw celebrities as role models, but then I grew up in Hollywood where celebrity and reality collided for me at a young age (e.g. laying flowers at Marvin Gaye's house after his dad shot him even though I knew he was an addict).
I think the seismic shift you saw may have to do with looking at the world through the eyes of motherhood as well as how pervasive we wedge ourselves into celebrity lives. If they mistep now it is all over twitter, you tube, and gossip sites instantly. There really are no more spin doctors that can keep a handle on their antics in this modern social media age.
Tanyetta
That's right!!!
I will say that we are all human. Mistakes and bad judgment happen. I don't believe celebrities should be role models. They usually are the first to say so when they make mistakes. And to believe they won't make them is not fair. Just because you are a celebrity does not mean you are perfect. We should get the guidance and lessons from our parents. But there are also times when the parents are not equipped to give it.
MBB Founder and Editor Denene Millner
@Stacey: I totally feel you on your comment—we ARE all human. But one would think that if you're in the public eye, and you're looking for people to admire you and want to BE you, you would be a bit more careful with how you conduct yourself. Basically, you KNOW you're being watched. So why not watch yourself? Put your best foot forward. Keep your nose clean? And the guns out of your locker room? And the video cameras out of your bedroom? And the champagne from your lips until AFTER you make your acceptance speech? These are simple things. No one is asking for perfection—just discretion.
I don't think we should let celebrities off the hook so easy. What is wrong with them striving to be good role models or for that matter just good citizens. I think when Charles stated that he is no role model it was his way of saying don't hold me responsible for the wrong I do. Then when he gets caught he can say…see I told you I am no role model. We all need to work on our inner demons.
The Role Models Our Children Choose– has been a topic of discussion more times than I can remember in my classrooms. Unfortunately, children, especially teenagers, don't often choose wisely, the people they admire and imitate. And, we adults do hold Black celebrities to hire standards–so of course I was disappointed in Muhammed Ali, Dr. J, Bill Cosby, Jessie Jackson and a few others when I found out they hadn't lived up to MY impossible standards. Now, I know better and I act differently. I try to tell children better: that we emulate the admirable qualities and actions of those we choose as our Role Models and that we understand that they are, as Luther sang–only human. I know now, more than I ever have before, how many of my students consider their teachers as their role models–they don't expect us to curse, to dress inappropriately, to drink, to use drugs or to engage in any activity that we discourage them from doing–and rightly so. We can't get away with telling them: "Do as I say, not as I do" OR "Because I said so." We each must become the best that we can possibly be and not hold our role models to our impossible standards of behavior. Angela
@Angela: Thank you so much for your words. I can certainly get behind what you're saying—that my standards of behavior may be wholly different from someone else's. But I don't think those standards are impossible; indeed, at best, they are the minimalist of expectations: Don't show up in a fancy gown to an awards ceremony, stumble across the stage and slur through your acceptance speech. Don't pull out a gun in the lockerroom while you're at work and should be focused on the job at hand: winning a basketball game. These are VERY basic acts of self-control that one expects from human beings who have at least an ounce of respect not only for those who are watching and looking up to them, but also themselves. Sure, there are plenty of standards that I have that may not necessarily jibe with the standards you hold dear in your house. But there are basic rules of civilized people that should be followed, and quite frankly, I can't see myself giving a pass to these folks for acting in this kind of manner in public. As a mother, it's my duty to point at them and say to my kids, "Whatever you do, baby, don't look up to that guy. We all expect better of you."

Iowa Economic Development Board Awards Almost $86 Million To Fund Capital Expansion Projects
Advanced Manufacturers Utilize Incentives to Improve Financial Performance
Securing Incentives With a Well-Paid Workforce
Well-Designed Incentives: Not a Zero-Sum Game
Why the C-Suite Should Focus on Incentives
The Iowa Economic Development Authority awarded financial assistance and tax benefits to four companies for job creation and expansion projects. The incentives will assist in the creation of 96 jobs and will result in almost $86 million in new capital investment throughout the Iowa.
Projects were assisted in Davenport, Ames, Charles City, Burlington, Des Moines, Coralville and Clinton, Iowa. In Davenport, Alter Trading Corporation is one of the largest metal recycling companies in the country, recycling both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The company plans to build a new facility on land adjacent to the existing plant in Davenport as part of its $5.9 million expansion project and create 13 jobs. The board has approved tax incentives for the company through the High Quality Jobs program.
Italian-based Barilla will receive state assistance to expand its facility in Ames. Currently, the Barilla Group owns 30 production sites and exports to more than 100 countries. The company's facility in Ames is planning to add two production lines, raw material storage and associated packaging and palletizing equipment to produce gluten-free pasta.
The board awarded Barilla tax benefits via HQJP for this $26.5 million capital investment that is expected to create 23 jobs, of which two are incented, at a qualifying wage of $23.21 per hour.
In Charles City, Cambrex will increase manufacturing capacity with assistance from a state incentive grant. Cambrex Charles City, Inc., a subsidiary of Cambrex Corporation of East Rutherford, New Jersey, manufactures Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients and pharmaceutical intermediates for both the generic and branded human pharmaceutical markets.
As a result of recent rapid growth, Cambrex has identified the need for a capital expansion to increase manufacturing capacity. The proposed facility will be built and outfitted with commercial scale Current Good Manufacturing Practices assets, 45,000 square feet of warehousing, QC labs, internal roads, and a second facility entrance. The board awarded Cambrex tax benefits through the HQJP to create 32 jobs.
In Burlington, Federal-Mogul Ignition received an award for its expansion project. Federal-Mogul Ignition is a part of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation based out of Southfield, Michigan. Federal-Mogul is a tier 1 automotive component manufacturer for major original equipment manufacturers, such as GM, Chrysler, Hyundai, Audi, BMW and Ford.
The company's Burlington plant manufactures spark plugs that are primarily used in internal combustion engines with gasoline or LPG / CNG gas as fuel. The company was awarded $100,000 in direct financial assistance through HQJP for its expansion project that is set to create 28 jobs, of which 11 are incented. The project, which involves expanding capacity to integrate product packaging and installing packaging equipment, represents a $925,000 capital investment.

Washington At Pittsburgh NHL Game 6 Winning Predictions
Written by Henry Watkins on May 8, 2017
NHL Betting News
One of the oldest clichés in professional sports is the one about it being tough to repeat as a champion. Sure, it may be overused, but it is also very true. Every sport is tough, but perhaps none tougher than hockey. This is a brutal sport, with every player on the ice just one hit away from seeing their season come to a premature end. The Pittsburgh Penguins are the defending Stanley Cup champions, and while they have looked very good again though the opening two rounds, they are starting to see injuries become a major concern. They have already seen Kris Letang go down for the year, and then had to play without Sidney Crosby for a game after he got his bell rung in the first period of Game 3. Crosby returned for Game 5, but was mostly ineffective in a loss that helped keep the Capitals season alive. The second round series moves back to Pittsburgh for Game 6, where the champions will have another shot at bringing this series to an end. Find the latest hockey betting odds here.
In Depth Analysis On The Capitals At Penguins NHL Game 6 Winning Predictions
When: Monday, May 8 at 7:30 PM EST Where: PPG Paints Arena, Pittsburgh TV: NBCSN Live Stream: NHL.TV NHL Odds: Pittsburgh Penguins -1½ (+250)
Why bet on the Washington Capitals
Down 3-1 in the series, the doomsayers were already saying that the Washington Capitals were once again going to come up short in the postseason. They might yet fall pretty to another early round exit, but they at least proved that they have some fight left in them after avoiding elimination in Game 5. A couple of quick goals for the Capitals turned that game around and led them to a 4-2 win. Going into Pittsburgh and getting a win is no easy task, but the Capitals have already done it this postseason, and were perhaps a little unlucky not to win both games in Pittsburgh this postseason. That said, the Penguins are lethal when they smell blood in the water, making this task that much tougher.
Why bet on the Pittsburgh Penguins
The big question heading into this critical Game 6 is sure to be in regards to the health of Sidney Crosby. We are aware that he would not have been allowed to play had he not cleared the concussion protocol, but it's still hard to come back in full stride after taking a hit like he did in Game 3. The good news is that he has had one full game to shake off any rust that may have been clinging to him after missing almost 2 full games, and he will have the benefit of what is sure to be a highly vocal home crowd cheering him on when Monday night rolls around.
Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction
The Pittsburgh Penguins are a team that know how to kill off a series when they get the chance, and they are not likely to pass up this huge opportunity in their own building. Another close game, but I think the Penguins win.

Is Apple going to reinvent the flip phone?
So it might not be quite like the Motorola Razr, but it looks like Apple might be working on its very own, likely more advanced, flip phone.
An Apple patent published Tuesday appears to show an iPhone with a flexible OLED screen that is designed to fold in the middle. Essentially, it would allow the whole phone to fold in half, making it small enough to fit into a pocket with ease.
This is just a patent, so it is possible the company will never actually produce anything that resembles this, but it could signal that Apple is moving in a new direction.
According to CNN, this isn't the first time Apple has shown an interest in flexible screens.
Earlier this month, Apple was granted a similar patent for a foldable phone that opened more like a notebook. The company was also awarded a patent for a "flexible electronic device" in January of 2015.
It's also possible that Apple is working to improve the durability of its phones.
This could have been prompted by "Bendgate" in 2014. That's when customers complained that their phones became bent after they carried them in their pockets for a long time. At the time, an Apple spokesperson told CNN that a bend was "extremely rare."
It's hard to say whether an iPhone flip phone is in the works, but some have speculated that the technology could be incorporated into products like the MacBook or iPad.
Earlier this year, Motorola teased the release of a flip phone Razr and the internet went wild, so maybe everyone is just ready for a dose of nostalgia.

Of course tattoos can be copyrighted. I don't think there is any reasonable dispute about that . . .the tattoo itself and the design can be copyrighted and I think it's entirely consistent with the copyright law.
I wholeheartedly agree with that legal premise, after all a work of art is a work of art, whether its hanging on a wall or engraved on a person's face. While the issue has never been litigated in federal court to my knowledge, Judge Perry likely made an accurate assessment about tattoo art. But this particular tattoo, I think, would have difficulty gaining copyrighted status because it lacks originality. All it is, is a series of stylized tiger stripes surrounding the eye. Maori warriors, Pacific Island fishing boats, and Native American totem poles have used similar designs for centuries. The design appears to me too generic to be the intellectual property of one particular artist. This argument is similar to the claims regarding jewelry design that I have discussed in a number of earlier posts. Some are protectable, some are not – it all depends on the level of originality reflected in the piece.
The case brings up interesting issues for celebrities who indulge in tattooing themselves. It may be prudent for them in the future to have the tattoo artist sign a release or an assignment of rights that the design belongs to the celebrity and that it is for the celebrity to decide who else can use it and who can't. I am speculating that in this particular case, the WB probably decided it was cheaper to pay some sum to the artist and resolve the claim rather than litigate this relatively novel legal issue.
Likely, Mr. Whitmill simply cashed in on what seemed like a great offer from WB in the face of mounting legal fees and a questionable outcome.
While I agree that an original tattoo should be able to be copyrighted, I would have liked to see a final judgment. Particularly because in future scenarios such as this one, where the parties are in completely disparate bargaining positions, having some precedent to point to would greatly increase the tattoo artist's bargaining position. When going up against the entertainment giants of the world who have inordinate amounts of cash and expensive legal teams, tattoo artists, even extremely successful ones, will be at a serious disadvantage in terms of maintaining a possibly protracted litigation.
This may not be as important in an artist versus artist infringement scenario, as both parties will likely be in more comparable bargaining positions. However, a final judgment would have nonetheless served to speed up future determinations and possibly would have provided a framework for future litigation.
I guess we will have to wait until Hangover 3.
Good points. I agree that I would have liked to have seen a decision on this. Tattoo artists can increase their leverage by registering their unique designs with the copyright office. That way in any infringement lawsuit they may be eligible for statutory penalties and legal fees.
Doesn't this fall under the "fair use" provision of copyright law since this is a parody?
Good question Jim, but the answer is "No." In order to qualify as "fair use" under the parody provision, you must be parodying the copyrighted item. They are not parodying the tattoo, they are copying it. They are not making fun of the tattoo just that its funny that Stu would end up with that on his face. So Weird Al's songs for example usually make fun of the song itself in some way as well as the subject of the song so they are parodies. "Airplane" and "Scary Movie" can directly copy elements of the films they are making fun of, because they are parodying the films themselves.

The History of Lotteries
By marceloburlon March 22, 2022 Blog 0 Comments
Lotteries have a long history. France, Germany, and Italy have different histories, but all have similar principles. In the 1500s, Francis I introduced lotteries in France. They were a popular entertainment and had general appeal until the 17th century, when King Louis XIV won the lottery and returned the winnings for redistribution. In 1836, France banned the lottery, but a new lottery was established in 1933. In 1943, the Loterie Nationale was reopened, and after the end of World War II, it became the largest lotterie in the world.
In modern times, lotteries are used for a wide variety of purposes, from military conscription to commercial promotions. Many lotteries also choose jury members from registered voters and are used for big cash prizes. However, regardless of the purpose, lottery players must pay for the privilege of winning. There are many types of lotteries. Here are some examples. If you are looking for a way to win big money, you can find lottery tickets.
The first known lotteries involved a money prize. Low-country towns held public lotteries to raise funds for fortifications and to help the poor. The lottery could be as old as the 14th century, though. One record from L'Ecluse, France, dated 9 May 1445, mentions a lottery of 4,304 tickets to raise money for the town's walls and fortifications. This prize is equivalent to about US$170,000 today.
The earliest recorded lotteries offered tickets that contained money prizes. These public lotteries were popular in the Low Countries and were held to raise money for the poor and the town's fortifications. Although the first lottery is believed to have been conducted in 1445 in L'Ecluse, it is likely that the first lottery was held earlier. In fact, a record from 9 May 1445 in L'Ecluse mentions a lottery of four hundred and thirty-four florins, which would be the equivalent of US$170,000 in 2014.
Lotteries have become increasingly popular throughout history. Today, lotteries are commonly used in government-run programs and commercial campaigns. A few ancient examples of this practice can be found in the Old Testament. For example, the practice of dividing land by lot has been documented in the Bible. Additionally, lots have been used in the Roman Empire to distribute property, slaves, and even freed people. The lottery was once the most popular form of entertainment in ancient Rome.
The first recorded lottery is believed to have been held in the French city of L'Ecluse in 1445. It was a way to raise money for the town's defense. The game was later used in the American Revolution as a means to elect politicians and soldiers. It was also used in the American Civil War. While there are no known laws against the practice, the history of lotteries is fascinating. The earliest recorded lotteries date back to the 13th century.

Hi, I have defined certain widths to grid columns. When I change Windows environment font to bigger (desktop properties -> settings-tab -> advanced button -> font bigger from 96dpi to 120dpi) it affects so that system drawing size gets larger (5,13 -> 7,15) BUT width of grid columns get actually narrower and texts in column headers don''t fit any more. In visual studio I can determine form.AutoScaleBaseSize to base font size value and set form.AutoScale then true and that scales form elements BUT not Essential Grid column widths /-: Is there any easy solution in Essential Grid to workaround this or do I just have to make own functionality to determine the system scaling size compared to the base size and calculate then how much column widths need to be changed from the base size? Aguess there''s no automatic feature in Essential for this?

Experts weigh in on housing crash: Went went…
Experts weigh in on housing crash: Went went wrong?
By Pete Carey | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: October 12, 2012 at 5:29 pm | UPDATED: August 15, 2016 at 12:19 pm
Reams have been written about the housing and credit crunch, but the root causes will probably be debated for decades. We asked several housing experts who attended a forum on California's housing market, sponsored by the USC Lusk Center for Real Estate and the online real estate service Zillow, in San Francisco Friday: "What would have prevented the housing and credit crash?" Here's what they said:
"The events of the past six or seven years show that loose underwriting does nobody any favors. Foreclosures are terrible things for the families who experience them and for the communities that have large numbers of them. The whole point of underwriting is to prevent default and foreclosure, and the unpleasant fact is that down payment and FICO (credit scores) are predictors of likelihood of default. If all loans had been properly underwritten, taking into account equity, credit history and ability to pay, we would not have had the boom or the bust."
— Richard Green, director of USC Lusk Center for Real Estate
"The housing bubble was blown out of proportion largely by the complete collapse of credit standards for borrowers. People received ridiculous amounts of money with no capacity to pay it back. This in turn was driven by the ability of Wall Street to push risk to unsuspecting clients. Ultimately the solution is to make the financiers — the mortgage brokers and asset collectors — responsible for their actions. This would head off such breakdowns in credit."
— Christopher Thornberg, Founding Partner, Beacon Economics, LLC
"We needed to share better consumer information that focused on the past and future trend in house prices. Buyers were acting in a short-run frenzy but they were encouraged by a long-run outlook that was unexamined and uninformed as to its basis. Buyers simply assumed that prices never go down, always rise, and often at heated rates. We were negligent in not telling them why the big run up had occurred over the last 30 years and why the big surge was due to end.
We were riding a generational wave of upward pressure on prices that was founded in the 1970s — when the Baby Boomers first entered their late 20s — and that was due to run out of steam when the Boomers reached their maximum housing stage. The Baby Bust generation following behind brought a lot of slack to the housing market. Consumers needed to learn they were buying into a diminishing market whose demographic push was about to drop out. These facts were all known to housing experts, but we did not share them very widely. We were complicit in the train wreck because we did not speak out sooner about the eroding long-run support for upward price trends. We should have lanced that bubble of long-run expectations."
—Dowell Myers, Professor, Director, Population Dynamics Research Group, USC Sol Price School of Public Policy
"Maybe time will reveal a single bad actor or external event that points to the cause of the collapse. More likely, the financial crisis was a convergence of multiple forces. Flawed credit rating agencies, advanced financial engineering and cheap money flooding our economy drove home prices to appreciate faster than at any time in history. The result was a nation of homeowners accessing credit through new-found equity.
"It is possible to look at tension points that had significant impact in expanding the bubble. For instance, leverage most certainly intensified the damage. Whether it was large financial institutions like AIG, taking normal market risk and compounding it through the development of innovative instruments of finance (such as synthetic Collateralize Debt Obligations) when home prices declined, the downside impact was exponential. Another was complete deterioration in underwriting standards. Too many loans were being made with limited or no borrower documentation, such as income, to borrowers with deteriorating credit.
"We may never isolate a single cause. It is possible, that we rebuild a model of residential finance that protects the middle class' most valuable asset and allows for safe, long term investment and prevents our capital markets from reverting to a playpen of speculation."
— Jason Gold, Director, Progressive Policy Institute's "Re-thinking US Housing Policy"
"There were many factors that contributed to the crash. The three big ones that don't receive enough attention are by elected and appointed officials in Washington D.C. 1) They repealed the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, allowing federally insured banks to do investment banking. 2) They pressured the GSEs (government sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) and HUD (U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department) to lend far more aggressively in the interest of growing home ownership. 3) The Fed propped up the economy by dropping interest rates dramatically during the dot-com recession, and never raised them when the housing market got overheated.
Finally, and I am still stunned that this continues today, none of the big banks or regulatory agencies have good metrics in place to monitor local housing market conditions. The lack of information is unbelievable."

Anna Brian, our Programmes Manger, recently visited schools in NE India and reports on the start of a new school year after a tumultuous 2017.
2017 was a difficult year for our partner schools in Kalimpong, NE India. A general strike called by the Ghorkaland Independence Party resulted in the schools being closed for over 3 months, as well as leaving many parents without pay for the same period. However, when I visited in March this year, the situation seemed much more positive. The school year had just begun, enrolment was complete, and a new generation of (extremely smart!) children were ready to start their school journey.
In the final months of 2017, Mondo Kalimpong received a generous donation of computers for our partner schools. Each school has received at least 3 computers, together with large wall-mounted screens so these can be used in the classrooms. A flash drive with appropriate materials has also been provided to each school, giving teachers a wide range of materials, ready to use. Extra funds were also used to provide the schools with new desks, whiteboards and teaching aids: both teachers and pupils thanked Mondo, delighted with all their new equipment!
2018 is also an exciting year for PIQUE – our education quality initiative. Schools have been using this planning framework, first introduced in a series of workshops in 2016, to envision how they would like to see their schools improve. Already, there is evidence that they are putting these plans into action: headmasters spoke of children taking more initiative in organising events and decorating their classrooms, while teachers were observed implementing the phonics training they requested and received last year. This month, a retired Ofsted inspector, volunteer Michael Dennison, has kindly agreed to spend time in Kalimpong and Darjeeling, visiting all the schools and supporting them to put more of their plans into action.
Last year, due to the school closures, we sadly had to cancel the visits of 10 volunteers who had planned to support our work in the region. However on my visit, all the headteachers urged me to get to the volunteer programme started again, explaining how much the teachers and pupils at their schools value the skills and enthusiasm of our volunteers. Happily, we already have 2 volunteers in place this month with several more planning to visit later in the year. Please spread the word! – we are particularly looking for retired teachers and career breakers.
Through the generosity of supporters and foundations we have raised and donated £172,489 to support 14 very poor schools in this part of the world. If you have ever visited this beautiful part of the world and want to continue to stand with us as we support quality education please consider setting up a standing order so we can continue to support these schools.

Norwegian partners with CHOOOSE to offer customers CO2-offsetting
Posted on December 9, 2019 by Travel PR News Editor
LONDON, UK, 2019-Dec-09 — /Travel PR News/ — Norwegian has partnered with climate company CHOOOSE to make it easy for customers to offset their carbon footprint when buying a ticket with the airline. The initiative has been welcomed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
As of today (Dec 05, 2019), Norwegian is pleased to offer its customers climate compensation as a simple, integrated part of the booking process.
Geir Karlsen, Acting CEO of Norwegian said: "Norwegian has been named one of the world's most environmentally friendly airlines and we are continuously working to reduce our emissions through new initiatives. We're now putting a price on actual carbon emissions from flying, making it easy for all our customers to take climate action,"
"Even if commercial aviation technology continues to develop and Norwegian keeps reducing its environmental impact, emission-free flying is not possible today. Carbon offsetting is an important tool in managing today's emissions, and we know that many of our customers would like to compensate for emissions associated with their journey," he continued.
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change: "We welcome this initiative"
Norwegian is the first airline to sign the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) pledge, committing to become climate neutral by 2050:
"Putting a price on carbon in this way also helps driving more action and more ambition at all levels of society, including in business. We welcome this initiative by Norwegian to help their customers compensate their emissions when they travel. Bringing people together is fundamental for global understanding, for the economy, for wellbeing, and for the planet. We welcome Norwegian to our Climate Neutral Now initiative," says Niclas Svenningsen, Manager, Global Climate Action, UN Climate Change.
Climate offsetting clean energy projects
Norwegian developed the feature to be as informative, simple, and trustworthy as possible. When first selecting a flight, Norwegian informs customers how its flights' emissions compares to industry average. The CO2 emissions calculation is based on the official methodology of the United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), the International Council of Clean Transportation (ICCT) and Norwegian's own flight emissions data. Next, customers are offered a simple option to offset their calculated carbon footprint directly in the checkout process. For customers that opt in, offsetting is then performed through carefully selected CO2-reducing clean energy projects in regions Norwegian flies to. The projects are certified by the United Nations and the Gold Standard, which sets the standard for climate and development interventions to quantify, certify and maximise their impact. The Gold Standard also includes contributions to other UN Sustainable Development Goals.
"In addition to climate impact, all Gold Standard projects deliver verified benefits to the local communities where they operate – new jobs, clean energy, improved air, and more. If Norwegian Air passengers are passionate about climate justice, they can trust that their contribution goes far beyond offsetting emissions," said Sarah Leugers, Director of Communications at Gold Standard.
A seamless solution
As the partner for its new solution, Norwegian has chosen the climate-tech company CHOOOSE. Based in Oslo, Norway, CHOOOSE has developed a solution that seamlessly integrates into the customer check-out process, making it easy for customers to connect with the best CO2-reducing projects around the world. In addition to Norwegian, CHOOOSE enables a wide range of partners to integrate climate action directly into their products and services, and now has customers in over 70 countries.
"CHOOOSE collaborates with those who challenge the status quo, demonstrate that they're committed to reducing emissions, and take responsibility for the elephant in the room – some carbon footprints cannot be entirely avoided based on today's technology," said Andreas Slettvoll, CEO of CHOOOSE.
"CHOOOSE has achieved a lot in a short time, and together we are offering a best-in-class solution for our customers. CHOOOSE operates in an area that is developing rapidly and absolutely necessary, and represents a new, refreshing approach to climate action," said Karlsen.
Norwegian was voted the world's most fuel-efficient airline on transatlantic routes in 2015 and 2018 by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) and since 2008, the airline has reduced its emissions by 30 percent per passenger kilometre thanks to new, fuel-efficient aircraft.

Norwegian is the only airline to offer free inflight WiFi on UK flights to more than 30 European destinations and 13 long-haul destinations.
The airline has one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the world with an average age of 3.8 years, including next-generation Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Boeing 737 MAX and Boeing 737-800s
Norwegian has been voted 'Europe's best low-cost carrier' by passengers for six consecutive years at SkyTrax World Airline Awards from 2013-2018, along with being awarded the 'World's best low-cost long-haul airline' in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019

Q: C#: loading Large dictionary in Memory and access it from multiple application for performance issue and large numbers of hits per second, I need to add about 4GB of data in Memory using dictionary and access it from multiple applications using dictionary key. this data can be updated from time to time
what is the best way to create this scenario using C#

A: Programs are designed to be isolated for stability and security.
A database is designed for concurrent users.
If it is single application you can use static and it is shared by all instances of the class.

A: You are looking for a Distributed Cache in this case like Redis since you want the data to be accessible over multiple applications and having it in-memory won't be accessible to multiple applications. Moreover, Redis do have many good C# drivers and one of which is StackExchange.Redis

A: Well, not sure if I would design my application like this but you can share data between applications using Memory Mapped Files.
Consider using alternatives like mentioned, a database.

Announcing the top 50 Women in Engineering (WE50) 2018
Published: 28 June, 2018
The Women's Engineering Society (WES) celebrated 2018's Top 50 Women in Engineering (WE50) in partnership with The Telegraph at a high-profile event at the Royal Academy for Engineering on 26 June. The WE50 winners this year represent the top 50 female returners and transferrers in engineering and allied sectors.
WES says the WE50 winners represent the very broad range of routes it is possible to follow for a career in engineering. Sectors in which the winning women are employed include structural and electronic engineering, health, environment and academia and winners are all at very different stages in their careers, varying from early career engineers to senior leadership and from a crane operator to lecturers. The WE50 winners were awarded their trophies at an International Women in Engineering Day Afternoon Tea event held by Women's Engineering Society, hosted at the the Royal Academy of Engineering.
The event was the first chance to meet all the WE50 winners (see photo), a fantastic example of the achievements of women in engineering. WE50 winner, Savina Carluccio said of her achievement, "Being recognised as one of this year's Top 50 women in engineering is humbling and thrilling at the same time. I hope my example will inspire other female colleagues and encourage them not to be afraid to take time off to look after their young families or to take different paths in their engineering career".
The judges had to make difficult decisions, as WES received nearly 200 high quality nominations from a wide range of STEM sectors, career stages, career routes and backgrounds. There were some amazing stories amongst the nominated women – all of whom deserve our congratulations.
"The nominations were all amazing. For the Top 50, we looked for women who had overcome hurdles and returned to or transferred into/or across roles in engineering. In addition, they have all demonstrated that they are doing something to help support and inspire other women to succeed and progress in engineering whether it is working within their organisation through mentoring or inspiring young women through STEM activities for example" remarked Kirsten Bodley, chief executive of WES, on the winners and their achievements.

Vietnam's Biggest City 'Gradually Opening'

Vietnam's largest city will begin easing its coronavirus restrictions beginning Friday, officials said, bringing to a gradual end four months of strict curbs that have ground commercial activity to a halt and left some of the world's biggest brands scrambling in the runup to the busiest shopping season of the year.
"All checkpoints on the streets will be lifted and no travel permits will be needed after today," Le Hoa Binh, deputy chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, said at a press conference Thursday. "We are gradually opening but put our residents' safety first."
The industrial hub of Ho Chi Minh City, home to 9 million people, has shouldered the worst of the Southeast Asian nation's crippling delta surge, accounting for half of its 780,000 Covid-19 cases and 80 percent of the 19,000 deaths. Authorities have been ramping up their inoculation program; more than 98 percent of the city's adults have received at least one shot and nearly half have been jabbed twice. Vietnam's overall vaccination rate, however, remains dismal with only 9.3 percent of its 98 million-strong population fully vaccinated because of global supply shortages.
The temporary closures of myriad factories in the world's No. 3 garment exporter after China and Bangladesh have caused significant upheaval in a supply chain already battling headwinds from congested ports, container shortages, and rising labor and freight costs. As a workaround, some retailers have resorted to chartering their own planes and shipping vessels to move products.

What to Know About Vietnam's Living Wage Experiment
Many Western retailers are bracing themselves for sparser shelves than usual when the holidays approach. Nike slashed its revenue forecast last week after admitting the supply-chain bottleneck in Vietnam, where 80 percent of its footwear suppliers are closed, has cost it 10 weeks of production since mid-July, creating a "gap to the flow of inventory" scheduled for delivery starting mid-October. According to a recent analysis by Wall Street research firm BTIG, two months of "virtually no unit production" at the sportswear giant's factory partners in Vietnam have deprived it of 80 million pairs of shoes. Another four months at half capacity could see the loss of 160 million pairs in total.
Swiss firm On, which sourced 97 percent of its footwear in Vietnam last year and all of it in the first half of 2021, reported in a recent filing that it expects production disruptions to "continue to adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations for the remainder of 2021 and 2022." Adidas warned last month that factory-closure-induced delays in Vietnam, which makes up 28 percent of the German firm's sourcing base, could contribute to an estimated 500 million euros ($578 million) in lost sales in the back half of the year. In August, Under Armour, which obtains one-third of its apparel and footwear from the country, described a "very fluid situation" because of manufacturing and logistics logjams, though it credited its well-balanced sourcing platform" across Europe, the Middle East, South America and Latin America as a reason it's in a better place than its rivals.
Saitex, whose "clean" denim factory in Vietnam supplies to brands such as Everlane and Madewell, has been able to maintain capacity at just under 50 percent with measures such as providing its employees with personal protective equipment, regular testing and on-campus housing. Although shipments are still delayed and costs have ticked up, the company has been able to alleviate some of the pressure by shifting a portion of its orders to its new outpost in Los Angeles.
"The recent wave of Covid cases in the country and the subsequent restrictions have affected our operations," Sanjeev Bahl, founder and CEO of Saitex, told Sourcing Journal. "As unfortunate as these restrictions and delays are to the business, we must ensure that the employees' wellbeing comes first and we're confident that manufacturing will rebound in Vietnam."
But Vietnam's own economy has come under strain, and it may continue to face duress as some businesses eye a return to China after years of breaking away due to the one-two punch of growing costs and the U.S.-China trade war.
The country's General Statistics Office reported Monday that its gross domestic product slid 6.17 percent year over year for the July-September period, the first such decline in two decades.
Growth in the final quarter of the year could be 5.3 percent following an expansion of 1.4 percent in the first nine months of the year.
Some 94 percent of the country's companies are facing "difficulties" because of supply-chain disruptions, labor shortages and the higher costs of managing "three-in-one place" bubbles where workers eat, sleep and work in one place, Pham Dinh Thuy, head of industrial statistics at the agency, told a briefing in the capital of Hanoi. "Companies are exhausted," Pham said. "The government is working on multiple measures to help quickly get companies and businesses back to normal operations."
