How to watch Warriors at Celtics, NBA Finals Game 6The time has come Dub Nation. The Golden State Warriors are officially one win away from an NBA Championship. Tonight, they will get their first opportunity to clinch the title in an NBA Finals Game 6 matchup against the Boston Celtics. The game will be played at 6pm PT in Boston and can be watched on ABC. During Monday's Game 5, the Warriors took care of business as they handily beat the Celtics at the Chase Center, 104-94. Unlike Game 4 where the Warriors won thanks to the phenomenal play of Stephen Curry, Game 5 was more of a team effort. Boston focused their attention on stopping Curry by sending the double team at him. This opened opportunities for Golden State to play 4-on-3 which the Dubs took advantage of, specifically Andrew Wiggins who finished the game with 26 points and 13 rebounds as they beat Boston to take the 3-2 series lead.
Although Dub Nation can feel the excitement of another championship in the air, the job is not finished yet. Golden State enters a hostile road environment at Boston that will be ready to cheer on their team in the face of elimination. The Warriors know this so expect them to come into the game locked in and ready to go with an NBA title on the line. It should be a fun game. Enjoy the basketball Dub Nation.
After a gruelling regular season and a roller-coaster playoff campaign, Golden State and Boston will open their best-of-seven finals showdown on Friday in what has all the makings of a classic between two evenly matched teams. The Warriors made it to five straight NBA Finals between 2015-2019, winning the title on three occasions before injuries to their star players plagued them in the last two seasons. However, the three pillars of that dynastic run — Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson — back to fitness, and under the shrewd leadership of head coach Steve Kerr, the Warriors are back in their preferred habitat.
The Celtics would become the most successful franchise in NBA history with an 18th title, putting them one clear of their bitter rivals the Los Angeles Lakers. Boston's offense has been spearheaded by the superb form of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, while the Celtics defense led by Marcus Smart and Robert Williams III has proved to be a formidable barrier. In the Eastern Conference finals, top seeds Miami were beaten 4-3, the Celtics sealing victory with a gutsy game seven win on Sunday in Florida. A gulf in experience between the two rosters may also shape the outcome. The Celtics roster has zero games of NBA Finals experience; Golden State has a combined 123 games of experience. Here's all you need to know about watching the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics: When will the Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics be played? The NBA Finals between the Warriors and the Celtics will begin on June 3 and if it goes to Game 7, the final match is scheduled to be played on June 20.

CRT 2018 Award
4C Medical's Transcatheter Mitral Valve Technology Receives First Place in Cardiovascular Research Technologies 2018 Competition
BROOKLYN PARK, Minn., March 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- 4C Medical Technologies, Inc. (4C Medical), a developer of minimally invasive technologies for structural heart disease, today announced that AltaValve™, its medical device for mitral regurgitation (MR), was awarded first place in the Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT) competition held March 3-6, 2018 in Washington, DC.
"AltaValve will answer a real unmet clinical need," said Philippe Généreux, MD, Co-Director of the Structural Heart Program at the Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute of Morristown Medical Center (Morristown, NJ) and a practicing Interventional Cardiologist at Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal (Montreal, Canada). "Delivered transseptally, this device will provide a treatment option for a broad MR patient population. This includes patients that can be treated by other transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) devices, patients that cannot be treated by other TMVR devices, and even patients with previously failed mitral repair."
Dr. Généreux highlighted AltaValve in the presentation titled "A Novel Transcatheter MR Treatment Technology" which was part of the CRT Cardiovascular Innovations session.
"Despite the fact that the TMVR market is crowded with many devices trying to fit into the irregular and dynamic native mitral valve annulus, AltaValve is the only device that is truly differentiated – with supra-annular positioning and atrial-only fixation – and agnostic to the etiology of mitral regurgitation," said Jeffrey Chambers, MD, Founder and Chief Medical Officer of 4C Medical and Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at Metropolitan Heart and Vascular Institute in Minneapolis, MN.
At the CRT meeting, Dr. Chambers presented "4C Solutions that Preserve the Native Mitral Valve" in the Pulmonic, Tricuspid & Mitral Innovations session.
Designed to eliminate the known issues of current TMVR technologies, AltaValve is positioned supra annular to the native mitral valve, and its atrial-only placement ensures that critical cardiac structures within the left ventricle, including the chordae tendineae and the left ventricular outflow tract, are preserved. Moreover, AltaValve avoids issues related to the complexity and variability of the mitral annulus, making the device suitable for a broader patient population.
"The uniqueness of the device concept combined with our exceptional and unified team continue to lead to tremendous progress," said Robert Thatcher, CEO of 4C Medical. "This award is a testament to our continued momentum toward the ultimate goal of delivering new treatment options to patients who may not have options today."
About 4C Medical Technologies, Inc.4C Medical is a medical device company developing minimally invasive technologies for structural heart disease, focusing initially on mitral regurgitation (MR) therapy and subsequently on tricuspid regurgitation therapy. The company's AltaValve is the first MR treatment with supra-annular positioning and atrial-only fixation. It preserves the native mitral valve and left ventricle, eliminating known issues associated with transcatheter mitral valve replacement technologies which rely on placement and fixation in the native mitral annulus and left ventricle.

He has a minimalist mindset - Former APC Presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba tackles Peter Obi for saying moving in over 20-car convoy is 'madness'
TonyGists February 26, 2020
Former Presidential aspirant of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Adamu Garba has taken a swipe at former Vice-Presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) Peter Obi for saying "it is madness for public political office holders to move in large convoys."
The former Presidential candidate of the APC who wondered what is wrong in moving with 50 cars as long as there is an important business to be attended to, said it is known as labor and inclusive growth in capitalism.
Garba described Peter Obi as someone with a "minimalist mindset" and also urged the former Governor of Anambra State to worry more about value delivery than minimalism. He added that Nigeria does not need minimalism at the moment.
He tweeted;
Peter Obi is back with his minimalist mindset. What's wrong in moving with 50 cars provided they all have serious business to attend to? In capitalism, that is called labor & inclusive growth. People are engage to keep moving people to do things. What should matter is delivery
When you hire more, you distribute labor for value. People will be more involved in the running of affairs of their state. H.E Peter Obi should worry more about value delivery than some sort of Minimalism. We don't need Minimalism in Nigeria at this point in time.

Alleviating the water shortage in Cape Town: KfW supports efficient urban wastewater disposal
Frankfurt am Main (ots)
- EUR 80 million to increase capacities of wastewater treatment
- More water for use in agriculture, industry and tourism
- Adaptation to climate change
In the presence of Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), KfW today signed a loan agreement with the City of Cape Town in the amount of EUR 80 million to promote energy-efficient and environmentally and economically sustainable urban wastewater disposal. The funds will support the modernisation and expansion of the 22 existing plants under the scope of the "Climate Initiative for Urban Wastewater Disposal in Cape Town". This is KfW's first direct cooperation with a municipality in a Financial Cooperation (FC) partner country.
"Through the modernisation of its wastewater management facilities, Cape Town will be better equipped to face climate change and deal with scarce water resources induced by periods of drought," said Dr Günther Bräunig, Chief Executive Officer of KfW Group.
The aim is also to increase energy efficiency by replacing the plants, some of which are more than 50 years old. By increasing the maximum capacity of the wastewater plants, more water will be available for use in agriculture, industry and tourism. The plan also includes improved treatment of the sewage sludge and the associated reduction of methane gas emissions.
This project is the first measure in the framework of the "Clean Oceans Initiative" that was founded in October by KfW together with the European Investment Bank and the French development bank AFD. The initiative aims to promote sustainable projects that reduce pollution of the world's oceans with a total volume of EUR 2 billion.

Thornton May will showcase the best practices of the best CIOs leading the winnable future at the Midsize Enterprise Summit Fall 2018 event in San Diego.
Too many IT leaders are focused on the here and now, but to get ahead, you have to look ahead. Knowing the future can help with winning the future.
Dr. Bernard "Bernie" Banks has held leadership positions in the U.S. Army and higher education, making him the perfect choice discuss the importance of effective leadership.
Dr. Bernard "Bernie" Banks retired from the U.S. Army as a Brigadier General in August 2016, but his leadership roles didn't end there.
In his role as Co-Head of CIO Networks at Metis Strategy, Brian Watson works with many IT leaders to help them seize new strategic opportunities and conquer some of their biggest challenges.
As co-author of the book, Confessions of a Successful CIO, and as a long-time contributor to CIO.com, Watson has collaborated with some of the most talented and agile IT leaders.
IT leader Mary Wyderski of Professional Services Industries Inc. recently connected with Midsize Enterprise Strategies to discuss her views on the industry and challenges facing today's IT leaders.
In July of this year, I will have worked for 45 years. I've spent my entire working career focused on technology. And how technology has changed -from batch processing of cards to real time systems to standalone PC's to client server to e-commerce to today's mobile, cloud, big data, and internet of things.
In those 45 years, cars have changed, houses have changed and the food we eat has changed. Even the way we dress has changed--who wears a suit and tie to work every day like I did in the 70's, 80's and the 90's. Anyone remember casual Friday?

7 ways to fuel fandom on Facebook Four years ago, official brand pages on Facebook were quite rare. Today, not only are most major brands on Facebook, but their total fan numbers have skyrocketed. In fact, top brands now manage communities that reach upwards of 20 million members (also, the population of Australia). The challenge for marketers is to maintain the steady growth of their communities while still attracting valuable fans who remain eager to engage with your brand, long past that initial click of a "like" button.
How to Create a High Converting Facebook Fan Page Everyone is always talking about the ROI of social media and how can you convert a Facebook fan into a sales qualified lead. I have seen many great looking Fan pages on Facebook, but much like early websites, these pages are designed more for image and less for lead conversion. That is, however, until I came across the Facebook page of ViperChill.

He was really nice to oblige to an autograph and photo with us. As he is very tall (about the same height as Maksim), he actually squatted to lower himself to fit into the camera's frame when I took a picture with him. LOL.

Why we should learn more on hydrogen and other alternative energy sources
Ruben Bartali, a researcher with the Center for Materials and Microsystems at Fondazione Bruno Kessler, talks with Federica Vinci from Volt Italia about sustainability and "national energy sovereignty" at the Festival of university students of Trento: Poplar
The urgency of an adequate international initiative against climate change, and the inadequacy of what has been done so far, has emerged with increasing force especially in the last year, thanks to the mobilization of young people from many countries in the footsteps of teenage activist Greta Thunberg, in hundreds of cities with the Fridays for future movement, and with other movements – mainly youth movements – of similar inspiration. In Trentino, we saw first-hand the local effects of climate change and how they can hit hard with storm Vaia, the disastrous event that struck the Triveneto area and its mountains at the end of October 2018, downing over ten million cubic meters of trees.
So climate change, its effects and its causes are back at the center of public debate: if during the first decade of 2000, the debate focused on the Kyoto Protocols and the role of countries, today Greta Thunberg and the environmental movement, led by young people and women, is revolutionizing the vocabulary and perspective with which we address this topic. As far as the Trentino area is concerned, sensitivity toward the environment is part of the local identity and can be seen for instance in the practices that for centuries have allowed the management and enhancement of forests. But there's more.
As evidence of the high attention society is paying to this issue, in September of last year a group of experts dealing in various ways with environmental issues and climate change had launched a 10-point appeal targeting candidates running in the Trentino provincial elections of October 21, 2018.Back to the present, the Poplar festival was held in Trento in the same week of the world climate strike (Friday, September 20, 2019). In its third edition this year, the event is organized by the local university student associations with hundreds of volunteer students involved. The event saw the participation of thousands of youths and offered a rich artistic and cultural program. In particular, as part of the "Cult" afternoon section, local and national experts were invited to talk about current issues. One of those talks was "Is there a sustainable future?", held on Saturday,September 21 with the participation of Federica Vinci, President of the pan-European political party Volt Italia, and Ruben Bartali, a researcher with the Center for Materials and Microsystems of Fondazione Bruno Kessler. The intent of the organizers was to interpret the phenomenon of sustainability and energy transition, alternating political and scientific views.
A pretty rosy scenario emerged as far as the Italian energy situation is concerned, especially with reference to the Trentino area, particularly rich in hydroelectric sources. The FBK researcher stressed that the national energy transition represents a great opportunity as long as the country as a whole is able to invest primarily in research and education: even from this point of view we urgently need to equip ourselves with the necessary skills to avoid undergoing this change, interpreting its knowledge challenges in the best possible way. Bartali is part of the ARES team, which promotes research and development on new energy solutions and aims to transfer them to the market by collaborating with industrial and local partners.
To set us thinking, he began with a surprising request: we should remain silent for a few moments. After 10 seconds he told us that the elapsed time had been enough to gather all the energy needed to satisfy most of our region's demand. We then talked about the crucial role of energy not only to steer the transition to green economy but also to lay the foundations for the sustainable development of our society as a whole. Energy is a fundamental evolutionary element for our ecosystem and involves social and technological innovation. Pursuing a greater use of alternative energy sources entails more complex systems and implies an adequate re-planning effort to change energy distribution networks since there will be many sources to be hold together efficiently. So, the challenge consists in integrating old and new sources, exploring ways to adjust consumption and to build up energy. Thermal energy storage and vectors such as batteries and hydrogen technologies can help us a lot on this front. With regard to the hydrogen vector, to prove that "it can be done", the researcher brought along a scale model of a hydrogen powered car that collected solar energy thanks to a photovoltaic panel for the entire length of the meeting. By separating oxygen from hydrogen, the energy collected this way was enough to make the car move.
What are the Pros and Cons? The advantage of hydrogen is in its high energy density but at the same time it has a "small flaw": it is the most explosive gas. Today, safety risks are addressed through the development of safe fueling stations and costs are increasingly becoming more acceptable. In other words, we need to look at the phenomenon in perspective and also steer the public debate towards the formation of informed opinions. Interest in environmental issues compresses or expands depending on the cultural climate. Words that label the same phenomena change over time because different labels suggest different connotations. Take, for instance, the emblematic case of "global warming" converted into "climate change" by the pressure exerted on the media by the George W. Bush administration at the beginning of the millennium. The words we choose entail an ability to look ahead or impose an immobility that stops at the present or immediate future. As if, given the fragility of increasingly liquid political systems, we were no longer able to plan multi-year efforts to tackle complex challenges. If we think about it, each of us, in our private lives, do the exact opposite thing when buying a house or thinking about what family choices we make for the growth of our children.
Events such as the Poplar festival therefore help to reflect by listening to different opinions and training our gaze to make room for a project mentality despite the catastrophe narrative and to find the right arguments to motivate people to act. Although we cannot know what future awaits us, we are able to project the present trends in which we live and predict which scenarios await us. In any case, between a pessimistic scenario and an optimistic one, it will be people who will make the difference, this is why it is critical to invest in knowledge to lay the foundations today for the least worst possible future, the best future we can build together with our daily work.

Judas Priest's Ian Hill Gives An Update On Rob Halford's Health Status
Judas Priest's bassist Ian Hill recently talked about his bandmate Rob Halford's current health status, especially after he gave his fans a scare when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2020.
Since their formation in 1969, Judas Priest has been a vital figure in rock music and is still going strong with their performances and touring. The latest album they released as a band was in 2018, but they continue to delight their fans by performing for them.
The band's singer Rob Halford was with the band until 1992. He later left to return in 2003 and has performed as a member since. Unfortunately, back in 2020, the singer was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He went through surgery to remove his entire prostate gland. Later in 2021, there was more tissue with cancer cells found. He had to go through radiotherapy to get rid of the compromised cells and was healing.
His diagnosis hasn't stopped him from continuing to perform after healing. At the beginning of April 2022, he contracted a cold which prevented him from playing with his band, and they canceled the shows. Thus, their fans were once again worried about the singer. Recently, his bandmate Hill addressed the question of Halford's health in his interview and said the singer is fine.
Here is what Hill stated:
"Dramas all around! There's never a good time to have heart trouble unless you're four miles away from a heart hospital, and there's never a good time to have cancer treatments unless you suddenly find out you've got an enforced two years off. But Rob's fine. He's back to his normal self. We've had worrying times over the past few years, and we're so gratified to still be able to do this."
The band is generally happy to be still performing. Halford goes through anything that could obstruct him from playing, but he doesn't give up. Fortunately for the fans, Halford is finally 'back to normal.'

Q: Ruby on Rails: How to send a specific/chosen record from one table (User) to another with a button from user interface I started off with Ruby one week ago. My project is to make a Restaurant reservation webpage. I made the User table that contains Users name/last name/address/email/password/password confirmation info, I also made another table called Friends that contains  name/last name/address/email.
The current user is able to add a friend to the Friend table when pressing a Button (Add) by the users row in the table of all existing Users. So, by clicking the button by the specific user info that the current user selected,  the specific user info (name/last name/address/email) will be copied to the current user friend table.
The database I am using is Sqlite.
Here is the users_controller:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
  before_filter :save_login_state, :only => [:new, :create]

  def index
    @user = User.all
  end

  def new
      #Signup Form
      @user = User.new
  end

  def show
    redirect_to(:controller => 'sessions', :action => 'login')
    flash[:notice] = "Successful!"
    flash[:color]= "valid"
  end

  def edit
    @user = User.find(params[:id])

  end

  def update
    @user = User.find(params[:id])

    if @user.update(user_params)
        redirect_to @user
    else
        render 'edit'
    end
  end

   def create
        @user = User.new(user_params)
        if @user.save

            redirect_to(:action => 'login')
        else
            flash[:notice] = "Form is invalid"
            flash[:color]= "invalid"
            render "new"
        end

    end
  private
  def user_params
    params.require(:user).permit(:email, :password, :password_confirmation, :ime, :prezime, :adresa)
  end
end

User index.html.erb:

    E-mail
    Ime
    Prezime
    Adresa

  <% @user.each do |users| %>

      <%= users.email %>

    if  EMAIL_REGEX.match(email)
      user = User.find_by_email(email)

  def encrypt_password
    unless password.blank?
      self.salt = BCrypt::Engine.generate_salt
      self.encrypted_password = BCrypt::Engine.hash_secret(password, salt)
    end
  end

  def clear_password
    self.password = nil
  end
end

  def change
    create_table :users do |t|

        t.string :salt
        t.string :ime
        t.string :prezime
        t.string :adresa
        t.timestamps
      t.timestamps null: false
    end
  end
end

A: You will need a controller for Friendships e.g. FriendshipsController. Your Add button should point to an action in FriendshipsController which will copy the parameters you provide.

*

*In your view you should have something like this:
<%= button_to "Add friend", friendships_path(:name => user.name, :email => user.email ...) %>

*FriendshipsController:
def create
  # handle params here (you can get user's data from params[:name],     params[:email] and such
  # e.g. @friendship = Friendship.create(:name => params[:name], ...)
end

Kit Kat: The Nooks and Crannies of Acquired Distinctiveness for Three-Dimensional Marks
Kate Manning Monday, December 31, 2012 - acquired distinctiveness, cadbury, Community trade mark, Kit Kat, nestle, three-dimensional mark
It's a biscuit, not a chocolate bar!
Confectionery giants Nestlé and Cadbury have been at it again, this time over the three-dimensional four-fingered shape of the Kit Kat, a chocolate-lined biscuit treat that has nothing to do directly with kits, cats or Kats. Although a green version of Nestlé's product can be found in Japan, colour was not at issue in this recent decision of the Board of Appeal of the OHIM, unlike the previous dispute between the parties concerning exotic trade marks, reported by the IPKat here.
In Case R 513/2011-2 Société des Produits Nestlé S.A v Cadbury Holdings Ltd, Nestlé appealed a decision of the Cancellation Division finding the three-dimensional Community trade mark, consisting of four trapezoidal bars aligned on a rectangular base for 'Sweets; bakery products, pastries, biscuits; cakes, waffles' in Class 30, was devoid of distinctive character and had therefore been invalidly registered contrary to Art. 7(1)(b), Reg. No 207/2009. "The Division has misapplied the law and incorrectly interpreted the evidence! Our mark has surely acquired distinctiveness through use in the relevant territories of the EU and therefore not invalid as provided for in Art. 52(2)!" Nestlé [may have] exclaimed.
Lucky for Nestlé, the Board of Appeal eventually agreed, after making its way through the reasoning assault course of: first, determining whether the Division made a correct assessment as to the distinctiveness of the mark (Art. 7(1)(b)); secondly, assessing whether the mark had acquired distinctiveness through use (Art. 52(2)) and; thirdly, whether the mark's essential characteristics consisted exclusively of technical solutions therefore falling outside the scope of the exception of acquired distinctiveness (Art. 7(1)(e)(ii)).
It's invalid if it's devoid of distinctiveness...
The Board reiterated the general principle that the essential function of a trade mark is to be distinctive so as to enable the identification of the commercial origin of goods or services by the consumer, which is assessed, first, by reference to the goods or services of the mark and, secondly, by reference to the perception of the relevant public, which consists of the average consumer of those goods or services who is reasonably well informed and reasonably observant and circumspect. Although it was not appropriate to apply more stringent criteria when assessing the distinctiveness of figurative marks as Art. 7(1)(b) makes no distinction between different categories of mark, the assessment of the distinctive character of three-dimensional marks must be based on the assumption that only a mark which departs significantly from the norm or customs of the sector can fulfil the essential function of indicating origin. The more closely the mark resembles the shape most likely to be taken by the product in question, the greater the likelihood of the mark being devoid of any distinctive character. In order to ascertain whether a mark consisting of a number of components may be perceived by the relevant public as an indication of origin, the overall impression produced by that combination must be analysed. A mark which is excessively simply and constituted by a basic geometrical figure, is not, in itself, capable of conveying a message which consumers will be able to remember, with the result that they will not regard it as a trade mark (unless it has acquired distinctive character through use).
In the present case, the goods were sweet, fast-food low priced products for everyday consumption targeted at the general public. Consequently, the consumers' attention would not be high. The sign was three-dimensional, consisting of four trapezoidal elongated bars aligned on a rectangular base. That the trapezoidal shape was original was insufficient as it remains one of the basic geometrical forms, which was not a feature that allowed one to conclude that the elongated product with a trapezoidal section departed significantly from the norm or customs of the sector. The consumer would simply see the bars as a portion of the product. It did not, therefore, significantly depart from the norm and customs of the relevant sector. Nor was the basic geometrical trapezoid shape capable of identification with the origin of the goods. Therefore, the Cancellation Division rightly concluded that the sign lacked any distinctive character under Art. 7(1)(b).
...But not if it's acquired distinctiveness through use...
War time Kit Kat
Article 52(2) provides that where the mark has been registered in breach of the grounds laid down in Art. 7(1)(b), (c) or (d) it may nevertheless not be declared invalid if it has acquired distinctive character through use in the relevant part of the EU where it was previously devoid of any such character. This requires at least a significant proportion of the relevant public of the relevant territories at the relevant time (either before the mark's filing date or between the date of registration and the application for a declaration of invalidity) to identify the goods or services as originating from a particular undertaking because of the use of the mark. The impression which a three-dimensional sign, consisting of the shape of the goods themselves, may create in the mind of the consumer is in principle likely to be the same throughout the EU, unless there is concrete evidence to the contrary. Thus, in the case of non-word marks, it is in the EU as a whole that that mark must have become distinctive though use in order to not be declared invalid.
However, if a mark was registered or applied for before the dates of accession of new Member States, then the relevant territory, and therefore relevant public, is made up only of the States that composed the EU at the relevant time (Art. 165(4)(a)). Further, the CJEU's judgment in the Lindt chocolate bunny case that it would be unreasonable to require proof of acquisition for distinctive character for each individual Member State in which the mark did not have such character applied:
'In general, it would be unreasonable and disproportionate both to request the owner of the trade mark to divert and invest important quantities of money in collecting evidence of the acquired distinctiveness in each corner of the Internal Market and to refuse protection to a trade mark, whose recognition as been duly shown for the vast majority of the territory of the EU' (at [78])
In this case, the Board assumed that surveys submitted by Nestlé were carried out according to the expected professional standards; the results and analysis provided by the author companies being reliable. Although some of the surveys had been conducted subsequent to the date of filing, the period between the relevant date and the survey period was sufficiently short (less than a year) to not diminish their supporting probative value as the data did not measure an immediate effect but mapped a market development process. Further, market share and ranking oscillations showed a certain stability of the market trend.
The Board agreed with Nestlé that the populations of Germany, France, the UK, Italy and Spain together made up 79.2 per cent of the total population of the EU as composed by the fifteen Member States to be considered in the proceedings, as supported by population figures in 2007 published by Eurostat. Not only that, but add the Netherlands, Austria and other Member States into the mix, and it was possible for the Board to conclude that:
'the contested mark has been used in almost the totality of the EU's territory, covering the market of fourteen of the fifteen Member States that formed the EU at the relevant point in time; that as a consequence of such use, it can be determined that almost 50 per cent of the general public of the EU taken as a whole (or, said in another way, around 50 per cent of the general public of the Member States representing around 90 per cent of the EU's population), identifies as first option the Nestlé as the business origin of a product with the shape of the contested mark (which belongs to the categories of 'sweets, bakery products, pastries, biscuits, cakes and waffles')' (at [88])
As such, the evidence was sufficient to establish that the trade mark had become distinctive through use in the relevant parts of the EU territory.
...Although only if it's essential characteristics relate to more than technical solutions...
At this last hurdle, it was necessary for the Board to consider the exception to the exception (as it was one of the grounds of Cadbury's initial request for a declaration of invalidity) laid down in Art. 7(1)(e), which precludes registration of a sign, even if it has acquired distinctiveness through use, if it consists exclusively of shapes, inter alia, necessary to obtain a technical result (Art. 7(1)(e)(ii)). Once the essential characteristics, which are the most important elements of the sign (per Case R 513/2011-2 'Lego Brick'), of the three-dimensional sign have been identified by the authority deciding on the application for registration, the competent authority still has to ascertain whether they all perform the technical function of the goods at issue. As such, Art. 7(1)(e)(ii) is not applicable where the mark relates to a shape of goods in which a non-functional element, such as a decorative or imaginative element, plays an important role.
The Board found; first, that the bars being aligned together and joined through a thinner base contributed to the making the portioning of the product easier but did not respond to a technical need or performed a technical function of the goods at issue (nor does it incorporate any technical solution developed and patented by the manufacturer of the product); Secondly, even if the bars served the purpose of facilitating partitioning of the product at the moment of consumption, such a solution was neither technical nor essential in the shape of the goods at hand; Thirdly, that solution might be incorporated without difficulty by competitors in shapes which do not have the same non-functional elements as that contained in the current shape, in particular the trapezoidal shape of each bar (to which can be added the alignment of bars, the alignment into four bars, the common joining base and its rectangular shape).
'One could say that those non-technical functions are rather banal, as the Board has already found that the sign is per se non-distinctive under Art. 7(1)(b). Nonetheless, be they as banal as can be, the fact remains that those characteristics, not dictated by any technical reason, are, as it has been established, sufficient to make that shape be recognised by the relevant public as a badge of origin...This means that those elements, while not inherently important, through the use of the sign have nevertheless become important and are now recognised by the relevant public as a commercial origin indicator' (at [108])
The objection under Art. 7(1)(e)(ii) was not, therefore, applicable.
"Hooray!" shouted Nestlé [maybe] and this Kat. Reading the summary of the Cancellation Division's decision she had an uneasy feeling but was happy when she got to the Board's reasoning. However, she was, and is, a little shocked [and a little disgusted] to discover how much information about the (not so) humble Kit Kat was taking up precious space in her mind. Not only is she aware of the various evolved varieties and promotional campaigns but also has a special way of eating the four fingered three dimensional mark, which she will share with the IPKat readers, as a parting gift: make a strong cup of Earl Grey tea with a touch of milk so it's almost black, bite off both ends of one finger and use said finger as a straw for drinking the tea. Perhaps not worthy of a patent, but surely an evolution of the art of biscuit eating.
When this Kat started studying IP and encouraged to read the IPKat by her lecturer she never dreamed she would have the opportunity to contribute to the blog. It has been a great honour. She thanks her fellow Kats and all IPKat readers.

Cadbury used to market in Canada a product quite similar to Kit Kat called "Bar Six". It was a set of six wafers connected by a chocolate coating. The fingers were shorter and slightly stubbier, and the bar had an overall format comparable to an Aero. I believe I preferred it to Kit Kats. It shouldn't be too difficult to relaunch that asset, instead of trying to weaken the other guy's brand.
I wonder how distinctive the Kit Kat four fingers can be, when the product is also marketed in smaller packages of two fingers. The recipe for the chocolate was changed when the brand was acquired by Nestlé, and it isn't really the same thing anymore.
I didn't have my Bar Six with Earl Grey tea, but enjoyed it best on a hot summer day after it had melted in my pocket. Kids...

Inside the Winning Fight for Reparations in Athens, Georgia
Fifty Black families were forcibly displaced from their homes in the 1960s. Now the descendants are seeking redress and a chance to testify before Congress.
Rachel M. Cohen
April 9 2021, 11:00 a.m.
Within the bounds of a block in Athens, Georgia, three high-rise dorms stand where 50 Black families used to live. The dorms were built in the 1960s as part of the federal government's urban renewal program, which empowered cities and colleges to seize property in the name of so-called slum clearance. As the University of Georgia and the Athens city government requisitioned lots and burned homes to the ground, they steered many residents into public housing. According to the University of Richmond's "Renewing Inequality" project, 298 families in Athens were displaced during this period, 176 of them families of color.
In February, nearly six decades later, the county began its first attempt to offer redress. "The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County extends to former residents of Athens' Urban Renewal Districts, their descendants, and to all Athenians a deep and sincere expression of apology and regret for the pain and loss stemming from this time, and a sincere commitment to work toward better outcomes in all we do moving forward," pledged Mayor Kelly Girtz in a signed proclamation. Two weeks after that, the county's 10 commissioners voted unanimously to adopt a resolution that apologized specifically for the county's role in destroying Linnentown, the Black, middle-class community that preexisted the UGA dorms.
The resolution acknowledges the seizure of residents' homes and the perpetration of "an act of institutionalized white racism and terrorism resulting in intergenerational Black poverty, dissolution of family units, and trauma." It pledges, among other things, to erect an on-site memorial honoring the legacy of Linnentown and create a new center on slavery, Jim Crow laws, and the future of Athens's Black communities. Perhaps most importantly, it promises to calculate the total amount of intergenerational wealth lost through urban renewal and use that number to inform annual participatory budgeting on projects for redress — in other words, public funding for reparations.

The resolution is the first official act of reparations in Georgia, but those involved in its creation hope it won't be the last. They aim to model an example for communities throughout the state and across the country, even as they recognize their success in the progressive city of Athens will be difficult to replicate. Nationally, reparations remains controversial at best. Last summer, amid mass protests for racial justice, one poll found just 1 in 5 respondents agreed the United States should use "taxpayer money to pay damages to descendants of enslaved people in the United States." At the time, the city council in Asheville, North Carolina, approved a reparations resolution, but leaders have since stalled in distributing funds, and the resolution's lead sponsor lost his reelection.
Still, Girtz told The Intercept, "I think it will spread to other places." The mayor pointed to St. Paul, Minnesota, which earlier this year passed a resolution to study reparations, and his hometown of Norfolk, Virginia, which is also reckoning with its lasting segregation. Evanston, Illinois, a wealthy Chicago suburb, last month announced its own reparations program: a plan to distribute $10 million over the next decade to Black residents who can show that they or their direct relatives lived in the city and suffered from racial discrimination between 1919 and 1969.
In February, White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that President Joe Biden is open to studying federal reparations, though Biden has not committed to signing H.R. 40, a bill to fund a study of slavery and recommend "appropriate remedies," in the event that it passes. The former Linnentown residents say they hope to testify before Congress on reparations and the harms of urban renewal. They have also requested meetings with their new senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, and plan to push for a constitutional change at the state Legislature to make distributing direct payments easier.

Hattie Thomas Whitehead, a 72-year-old Black woman and fourth-generation Athenian, is one of at least 10 living former Linnentown residents. She knows their organizing work is far from over and that the next few months will be critical for ensuring that her government meets its pledges. Still, she can hardly believe they've reached this point.
"They voted on it in Black History Month, which is just a tremendous time for it to get approved," she told The Intercept. "The night I watched the vote, and it was 100 percent, I was brought to tears."
Thomas Whitehead lived in Linnentown until she was 14, when urban renewal came to Athens. Leaders burned down her home and directed her family into public housing. While details of Linnentown's destruction had been passed down orally for decades, Thomas Whitehead said that until recently, descendants just lacked the hard data needed to make their case for justice. "Being part of this project has given me a voice," she said. "It's bringing healing."
Finding data on the destruction of Linnentown began as an accident. A philosophy doctorate and library employee at UGA named Joseph Carter was doing research in December 2018 for a living wage campaign with the United Campus Workers of Georgia — hoping, he said, "to make the case for how the university suppresses wages in the county, and how that then has an effect on the local housing market."
He called up an Athens-Clarke County commissioner, Melissa Link, who said she had heard rumors of an old community that used to be where three high-rise UGA dorms now stand. Carter began digging around in the UGA Special Collections Libraries, where he discovered many documents about urban renewal, including early 20th-century fire insurance maps that showed the Linnentown homes. The case file was called "Urban Renewal Project GA. R-50."
Through a friend of Link's, Carter connected with Geneva Johnson, a former Linnentown resident still living in Athens. When contractors demolished Johnson's childhood home, her father was permitted to move another Linnentown house off-site to the neighborhood of East Athens, where she still lives today. Her home is one of just three surviving structures from the neighborhood.

Johnson, Carter, and Thomas Whitehead connected with three more Linnentown descendants, and together they launched a campaign called the Linnentown Project in September 2019.
That month, Thomas Whitehead spoke publicly about her displacement for the first time, in a speech she gave to a full house at a local arts center. In the autumn months that followed, the Linnentown Project began drafting its proposed resolution and started its outreach to UGA and city leaders.
Word spread through the community, and by February 2020, dozens of residents and students poured into Athens's City Hall to demand recognition and reparations for Linnentown descendants. Protesters stood with hand-painted signs bearing messages like "UGA Took Our Homes Away" and "Redress for Linnentown."
Even in a left-leaning city like Athens, unanimous support for reparations was in no way guaranteed. Some lawmakers initially shied away from using terms like "white racism and terrorism" to describe the displacement of Black families and the burning of their homes. According to Mariah Parker, a county commissioner who helped draft the proposal, some leaders found the language too harsh and feared alienation from the university, which has refused to acknowledge any harms related to Athens's urban renewal. Commissioners Patrick Davenport and Russell Edwards were originally against the resolution, but by the night of the vote in February, Edwards apologized for his initial opposition.
"It was an act of terrorism. It was an act of white supremacy," he said. Davenport voted in favor as well.
Last June, Jerry NeSmith, another commissioner who opposed the resolution, died in an accident; his successor, Jesse Houle, made support for the Linnentown Project part of their campaign platform. Carol Myers, another commissioner newly elected last year, also ran in support of the Linnentown Project.
As the year went on, some Linnentown Project activists protested for racial justice following the death of George Floyd. One local demonstration ended with Athens-Clarke police and National Guardsmen spraying tear gas on peaceful protesters, and soon after, Girtz approached Thomas Whitehead about moving forward with the Linnentown reparations effort.
"My hunch is he realized how much he screwed up with the protests, with the tear gassing and the arrests, and so then made the decision to move ahead with the Linnentown committee," said Carter.

While a year of pressure, one-on-one meetings, and racial justice organizing helped bring the mayor and all 10 county commissioners on board, the university still spurns any suggestion of its culpability.
UGA sent a statement to Athens-Clarke County commissioners in January 2020, saying it "respectfully disagrees" with the "conclusions" of the Linnentown Project. As college enrollment surged during the 1960s, institutions nationwide began taking advantage of eminent domain to make room for new students. Historical documents reveal how UGA officials worked closely with city and federal leaders to leverage funds and move urban renewal forward.
Thomas Whitehead said she's disappointed but not surprised UGA has given them the cold shoulder. "UGA has never acknowledged anything they've ever done that was not in the community's favor," she said.
This year, the university is celebrating its 60th anniversary of desegregation, replete with signs and commemorative events throughout the spring. On its special website for the cause, the university is soliciting donations to "support diversity, equity and inclusion efforts across campus today."
Meanwhile, UGA continues to dismiss entreaties from Black Linnentown descendants. "They continue to ignore the residents and that in itself is just a continued slap in the face," said Carter. "They're just acting like it's the 1960s all over again."
UGA did not return The Intercept's requests for comment.
While local leaders say they would prefer to partner with UGA to create their wall of recognition, Athens-Clarke County intends to build the memorial with or without the university's collaboration.
"It's best to acknowledge that there were some horrible things done in the not-so-distant past, because then we can move together more strongly," said Girtz. "We're going to be moving forward, and I would hope UGA joins us."

The Athens budget planning period runs from now through June. As part of that process, a committee chaired by Thomas Whitehead and fellow Linnentown descendant Bobby Crook will make recommendations for how to spend the reparations funding.
Girtz is looking to hire an economist to help community members calculate how much more money Linnentown descendants might have today, had they been permitted to stay in their homes. He plans first to approach Mehrsa Baradaran, a former UGA law professor and the author of "Color of Money," a book on the racial wealth gap. Baradaran now works as a law professor at the University of California, Irvine, and progressives nationally have been pushing Biden to appoint her to lead the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Parker, the commissioner, said she sees the work ahead as focused on both delivering material redress to descendants of Linnentown and launching additional efforts to help other lost and displaced communities in Athens. She and several local activists plan to ramp up pressure on their state legislature to change the so-called gratuities clause in Georgia's constitution. The clause, which was initially passed as an anti-corruption measure, prevents local governments from providing direct cash payments to individuals and nonprofits. This hampers not only reparations efforts but also broader economic relief.
In January and February, Thomas Whitehead sent letters to Ossoff and Warnock's offices to request assistance tackling Georgia's gratuities clause. The senators have not yet answered, nor did they return The Intercept's requests for comment.
Carter acknowledges that the success in Athens could be difficult to replicate elsewhere, particularly given the treasure trove of evidence they had available to make their case.
"There are communities in Atlanta that were affected by Georgia Tech and Georgia State that we want to take a look at, but the thing I'm concerned about is the availability of historical documents and who from those communities is still around," he said. "To do this organizing you have to come with evidence, and with residents who see this as something that they want. Are the residents alive? Are they willing? Interested?"
According to Carter, an essential part of the process in Athens is that the decisions about how to achieve reparations have been on the Linnentown descendants' own terms, and that they've been given power by their local government to make those calls.
"We believe part of reparations should be to reallocate not just money but political power," he said. "It's not just you write a check and you're done."

Поймандр, редко Пэмандр, Пемандр, Пимандер, Помандрес ( — пастырь мужей) — название первого из четырнадцати трактатов, составляющих «Герметический корпус», сборник текстов, чьё авторство приписывается мифическому Гермесу Трисмегисту. Словом «Пэмандр» в тексте именуется говорящий с Гермесом Трисмегистом божественный Ум.

Тексты Гермеса Трисмегиста долгое время относили к оккультизму.

14 герметических трактатов, под общим заглавием «Пэмандр», были переведены на латинский язык Марсилио Фичино (1433—1499), напечатавшим этот перевод в 1471 году. Греческий текст (вместе с Фичиновым переводом) впервые напечатал Адриан Турнеб (1512—1565) в Париже в 1554 году. Немецкий перевод Тидемана 1781 года.

Среди персонажей герметических трактатов фигурируют Гермес Трисмегист, Асклепий, Хор (сын Исиды), Агатодемон, Пэмандр и Тат.

В трактате «Пэмандр» Бог определяется как Ум (Νοΰς), в образе света, противоположный влажной натуре, происходящей из тьмы. Ум порождает из себя Логос (Λογος), как свет от света. Ум — это Бог отец, Логос — сын Божий. «Откуда, — спрашивает Гермес Трисмегист, — произошли стихии природы?» — Пэмандр отвечает: «Из воли Бога, который, взяв свой Логос и созерцая в нём порядок и красоту, создал мир по этому прототипу». И далее: «Ум — Бог мужской и женский — жизнь и свет, рождает чрез Логос еще другой творческий ум — Божество огня и духа, — который в свою очередь образует семь служебных духов, обнимающих своими кругами чувственный мир и управляющих им посредством так называемой судьбы».. Однако, вероятнее всего тексты были дополнены и отредактированы христианскими идеологами. Об этом говорит невозможное для того времени содержание, включающее в себя такие понятия, как "Бог", "Сын Бога" и тп, в виду того что во времена появления текста о христианстве не знали, и подобных понятий не существовало. Найти действительные диалоги весьма проблематично.

The ghosts of Udzungwa Mountains National Park
June 4, 2020 seekingwilderness Africa, Tanzania
In the heart of the Eastern Arc Mountains, roughly five hours driving from Dar Es Salaam, lies the Udzungwa Mountains National Park. Although little known by tourists compared to other places in Tanzania like the Serengeti National Park or the Ngorongoro Conservation area, Udzungwa is just as much worth visiting: the park is one of the most important areas for the conservation of primates and birds in Tanzania and even of the whole of Africa. Upon our arrival in Udzungwa National Park in July 2014, we were stunned by the scenery: the forest-swathed mountain peaks and the many waterfalls were such a stark contrast with the open savannas of Ruaha National Park in which we had spent the previous days.
A view of the tropical montane rainforest of Udzungwa National Park (above) and of its famous Sanje Waterfalls, some of the highest in the country.
The Eastern Arc Mountains, to which Udzungwa belongs, have been dubbed the African Galapagos for the incredible amount of endemic plants and animals they are home to. Encompassing 1990 km², Udzungwa contains several types of habitats, including steppe, grassland, miombo woodland, montane forest and rainforest, and boasts an impressive 400 different bird species, with rarities like the Green-Headed Oriole (Oriolus chlorocephalus), the Udzungwa Partridge (Xenoperdix udzungwensis) and the Rufous-winged Sunbird (Cinnyris rufipennis). But what makes Udzungwa so special is that it is also home to eleven species of primates, five of which occur nowhere else in the world!
A Blue Monkey (Cercopithecus mitis) climbing the electric wires in Udzungwa National Park
We came to see the rare and elusive Sanje River Mangabey (Cercocebus sanjei), a monkey species closely related to the mandrills that can only be found in Udzungwa. The Sanje Mangabeys are difficult to spot in the dense forest, so we followed the local guides who knew how to find them. On this warm morning, the monkeys had decided to take their quarters at high elevations and it is thus after a hefty climb through the forest that we finally found them. Silently, we crept up through the undergrowth until we got a clear sight of them and could snatch some pictures of the group going about its daily business. Feeding quietly on the ground, the grey monkeys had soon gone into the forest where we could not follow them, and we were left happy to have glimpsed these gentle ghosts.
The Sanje River Mangabey (Cercocebus sanjei) easily recognizable with its light-grey fur
In Udzungwa, monkeys are everywhere. We did not need to climb mountains to spot the Udzungwa Red Colobus (Piliocolobus gordonorum), another rare species restricted to these forests: a few of them hung around our camp on the next day. In Udzungwa, you can also find Blue Monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis) climbing the electric lines along the road and should not forget to close your tent properly if you don't want Yellow Baboons (Papio cynocephalus) coming in to raid your luggage in search of food.

We wish we had more time to explore Udzungwa National Park and discover more of its secrets. The park is a successful example of a community-run protected area that contributes to the conservation of many species. There are so many reasons to visit Udzungwa National Park, but the best of all is that in doing so, you lend much needed financial support to the communities who strongly rely on ecotourism. Planning to visit Tanzania? Do not miss Udzungwa National Park!

by Jordan Drexler | Dec 13, 2018 | Criminal Law, Defences | 1 comment
In general an assault is the intentional use of force against someone else without that person's consent. A common defence to an assault charge is that the other person consented. In other words it was not an assault; it was actually a consensual fight. While the Supreme Court has put restrictions on how far one can consent in a fight, a consensual fight is still a defence to a charge of assault.
What is Consent?
Consent is purely subjective. If one party says they were not consenting and the judge or jury believe them then there is no consent. Of course the judge or jury must still believe that party when they say that they were not consenting. The judge or jury must look at all the evidence and determine if their conduct is consistent with their claim of non-consent.
Limits to Consent
There are limits to how far someone can consent to a fight. On public policy grounds, the Supreme Court of Canada has said that someone cannot consent to serious bodily harm. If someone consents to a fight, that might not mean they are consenting to having their face stomped on. Even if serious bodily harm does occur, that doesn't necessarily mean that the other party couldn't consent. For consent to not apply, serious bodily harm must occur but it also must be intended by the accused person.
Serious Bodily Harm
The Criminal Code defines bodily harm but does not define serious bodily harm. Bodily harm is defined as "any hurt or injury to a person that interferes with the health or comfort of the person and that is more than merely transient or trifling in nature."
It has been left up to the courts to determine what serious bodily harm is. The Supreme Court of Canada previously defined serious bodily harm as "hurt or injury that interferes in a grave or substantial way with the physical integrity or well-being of the person." The judge or jury will determine if the injuries suffered are considered to be serious bodily harm.
Assault Lawyer
Far too often when there is a consensual fight, the police charge one person with assault and leave it to the courts to figure out what happened. If you have been charged with assault after a consensual fight, give Drexler Law a call at (519) 804-1799 or inquire by email for a free consultation.
