ANGELIC UPSTARTS: The Albums 1983-91
Posted on March 6, 2019 by harleytexas
After having pretty good success on their early releases, the band started to lose some traction and after the failure of the Still From The Heart album, EMI said bye-bye and they were back to the indie scene. This was a great wake up for them since Reason Why? was a terrific album that brought them back to the punk rock glory that people loved them for. "Geordies Wife" and "Dollars And Pounds" are both politically charged poetry that adds something interesting to the album. The cool part is that you get ten bonus tracks added to the original album. CD2 which again comes with ten bonus tracks, mainly rare studio demos that show the bands raw edge. Along with politically charged punk rock, you get a cool cover of Martha Reeve & the Vandellas' "Nowhere To Run." Next up is Live In Yugoslavia, which is basically a greatest hits collection of the band's songs and played with vim and vigor. Disc 4 is 1985's Power Of The Press album which now comes with the bonus single "Brighton Bomb." The album is a little more into the new wave sound of the time but still is a great listen. Next up is the even more new wave sounding Blood On The Terraces album with an included extra seven bonus tracks. The band still has some punk, but there is a lot of sound of the times going on and some controversial titles like "Heroin is Good For You," and a cover of Kenny Rogers and The First Edition's "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town." Ending with Bombed Out which saw original guitarist Mond reunited with vocalist Mensi for the first time in nearly a decade. This seemed to invigorate the band and they came back to the punk rock sound again, and the box set ends on a high note.
Although not as mandatory as the first box set, this is still a great collection of songs that sound better on this release than on the originals and will bring back memories to us old guys. The booklet features pictures of all relevant sleeves, liner notes, news clippings, and many previously unpublished photos.

THE BUSINESS: 1980-88
Posted on December 31, 2018 by harleytexas
The Business was an English Oi! band formed in 1979 in Lewisham, South London. The band lasted for four decades until their frontman Micky Fitz died from cancer in December 2016. The band was formed by school friends Steven ('Steve') Kent (guitar), Michael Fitzsimons ('Micky Fitz') (vocals), Nicholas ('Nick') Cunningham (drums) and Martin Smith (bass). The band has had numerous line-up changes in their career until in late 2015, Micky Fitz was diagnosed with cancer on the lymph gland and underwent radiotherapy. On 1 December 2016, it was announced that Fitz had died. This 96 track, 5 CD, six-album clamshell box features all that Oi! legends The Business recorded between 1980-88. The 20 page booklet contains detailed liner notes, lots of previously unseen pictures and clippings from the band's archives plus scans of all relevant record sleeves.
Disc 1 features 14 tracks by the band's original incarnation including the Indie Chart hit single "Harry May" and Oi! favourites "Product," "Suburban Rebels," and a cover of Elton John's "Step Into Christmas." The songs are mostly demos from the original band and not as punk/Oi! sounding as they later did, but it is a great start to this collection and a chance to hear the very beginnings of this great band. The second disc is the band's debut album Suburban Rebels, an acknowledged Oi! classic now bolstered by four bonus tracks including the Indie Chart No.3 hit "Smash The Discos." This is where I first heard the Business, and owned this album, playing it quite a bit. "Harry May," and "Drinking And Driving" are still great songs that were played by me when I used to DJ, and still get turned up loud when they come on. You can hear the improved playing and writing that this album had over the first recordings. Disc 3 has two albums on one CD. The original "stolen" recordings meant as their first LP plus the in concert Loud Proud And Punk-Live LP which hit No.2 in the Indie Chart and was actually recorded in a studio, with crowd noise dubbed in later. The master tapes for the first album went missing after disagreements between the band's label and the studio, forcing them to re-record the album, so this is a great opportunity to hear what the band was going for before they had to come up with another album quickly. They included a cover of Crass' "Do They Owe Us A Living" on the CD, which is pretty good, and the "live" album with their Sex Pistols cover of "Pretty Vacant," is a great way to hear what the band sounded like live, or at least all playing together in the studio but without the cleaning up of their sound. The fourth disc features 1985's Saturdays Heroes LP which now has the addition of the rare Get Out Of My House 12" EP. The album proved that the band were still vital and could keep getting better and better, with great production and a bunch of blistering songs, including the fantastic title track. As a bonus, we get the remade "Drinking And Driving," "Outlaw" and "Coventry," plus their versions of Sham 69's "Hurry Up Harry" and Hustler's "Get Out Of My House." Now that's a killer CD! The fifth disc is 1988's Welcome To The Real World album which saw the band expand to a five-piece with the return of original guitarist Steve Kent. The song, "Do A Runner" has always been a classic and I loved it as soon as I heard it for the first time. A great song that still gets me singing long after all these years. This album is just as strong and tight as you would hope from them and will definitely get you shouting from the terraces. The bonuses are two songs from the Main Event gig, "Saturday's Heroes" and "Harry May," plus "Coventry," "No Emotions," the EP version of "Welcome To The Real World," and two album out-takes, "Tina Turner" and "Get Yer Tits Out."
Possibly one of the better collections out there since this is the classic stuff that they are so well-known for and even though they kept putting out newer albums, this is what I'll always remember them by. If you are a crazed fan, you might have everything here, but for those that want to jump in, go for it…you won't regret this at all, just great song after great song and the booklet is a great read too.

DEAD FRIENDS 46: Hardcore
The band was formed back in 2015 by hardcore/punk rock lifers Don Mazza (vocals) and Jason Dovalina (rhythm guitar), who quickly recruited close friends Andy Spraker (drums), Sean McGuire (bass), and Shaun Andri (lead guitar). True stories from members' lives and salutations to fallen friends drive the writing and influence of the album. Each band member has overcome their own significant obstacles, including incarceration and addiction, and it shows in their lyrics, activism and commitment to doing everything they can to educate, but not preach.
Originally self-released on CD format by the band as Athletes to the Front which sold out immediately, Hardcore contains two additional tracks ("Mass Hysteria" and "Blood Clot"). The album also features a cover of Peter and the Test Tube Babies' "Banned From The Pubs" and Social Distortion's 1982 classic "Mass Hysteria." The album is a punch in the gut and a kick in the ears that will make you shout…not in pain, but in complete joy, because someone gets it! Hardcore without the metal wanking and bullshit lyrics that too many bands seem to have nowadays. These guys are taking the old school sound, before metal crept into hardcore and taking a step back, but pushing the format ahead at the same time. Since this is not metal, it's like a blast from the past, but maybe others can get their shit together and join in what they are doing and start more bands that are pure hardcore…maybe the start of a new trend…of doing it right. Gruff vocals, buzz-saw guitar playing, thick bass, and drums pounded within an inch of their life, plus awesome lyrics make for an album that is pure gold for these old ears. Short, to the point songs with no filler, and yes…all killer…sorry. The last song is truly powerful, listing their departed friends at the end of the song, a hardcore version of Jim Carroll's "People Who Died" in a way.
The album is a definite blazing collection of songs that will get you up and slamming along to, but take a listen to the lyrics too, feel the pain and emotion that the band puts forth. Having some people close to me die from drugs and bad decisions, this album not only was a punk rock fest for me, but it also meant something to me. Thank you for this great album guys.

THE 4 SKINS: The Albums
Posted on October 15, 2018 by harleytexas
This 76 track four CD clamshell box set rounds up all that Oi! legends The 4 Skins recorded between 1980 and 1984. They formed in 1979 and disbanded in 1984 – although new line-ups formed in 2007 and 2008. The booklet features in-depth liner notes and is packed full of rare clippings and memorabilia plus many unseen photographs from the time, plus the remastered sound is great.
The first CD features all the tracks recorded by the band's original vocalist Gary Hodges. It contains all their contributions to the Oi albums, a rough and ready version of their classic "Clockwork Skinhead," "One Law For Them" single and various live and demos offerings. It gives a great overview of what the band was and where they were going. The second disc contains their first album with new drummer Pete Abbot and singer Tony "Panther" Cummings joining. Their debut album actually managed to crack the top 100 of the UK charts…pretty impressive. The album was split into a studio and live sides, with the live music being "live in the studio," not in concert. The album includes great songs such as "Plastic Gangsters" and "Yesterday's Heroes" which are still terrific after all these years. Disc Three is the Fistful Of… 4 Skins album which hit No.11 on the Indie Chart and saw the band led by ex-Last Resort vocalist Roi Pearce. This is the album that I got into the band with and it holds a special place for me. "Forgotten Hero" and "Johnny Go Home" are classics that grabbed my ears when I first heard them and still sound amazing. The last disc is the rare live From Chaos To 1984 which showcases the band playing their hearts out for the punters.
The band was a great blast of energy and proved that skins could sing about more than being a skin, football, drinking, and fighting, they put a lot of thought into what they did and played as hard as they could. This is a great collection that deserves to be in your house and played frequently.

COCK SPARRER: The Albums 1994 – 2017
Cock Sparrer is a punk rock band formed in 1972 in the East End of London, England. They are considered one of the most influential street punk bands of all time, helping pave the way for early '80s punk scene and the Oi! subgenre. This is a collection of their comeback album and more remastered and with bonus tracks added. The detailed 20-page booklet comes complete with rare clippings and memorabilia, informative sleeve notes and pictures of all the releases. The whole project, like the recent 1978-87 The Albums box set – has been overseen by guitarist Daryl Smith. When Cock Sparrer re-emerged in 1994, they added guitarist Darryl Smith to the original lineup and this has remained in place for the last 24 years.
With tight some tight playing and the continued energy that the band is noted for, Guilty As Charged is everything that fans had hoped for in a return. The band gives us songs to sing along to, and great lyrics that the listener was expecting. "Last Train To Dagenham" and "Because You're Young" are terrific songs that keep the high standard that they are known for, plus you get the complete Run Away EP as well as a bonus. Two Monkeys includes a rare cover version by the band of the 1970 England World Cup Squad's "Back Home." "Battersea Bardot," is a tribute to ill-starred actress Carol White and is not the usual stuff that they do, but shows that they have the skill to include a different sound to their album and it's a definite treat. Here We Stand is now joined by the 2008 single version of "Because You're Young" plus a duet with WWF legend Dan Hardy on "England Belongs To Me." "Gotta Get Out" is a ripper of a tune that I just can't get enough of, and "Spirit Of '76" is another fantastic punk song that shows that they have the heart and soul to show the kids just how it's done. The last CD Forever keeps the high quality going and proves just how vital they are to the scene after all these years.
It's great to see a band that is still going after all of these years and still giving their all to the fans. They may not be the most prolific band with only seven albums between 1978 and 2017, four live albums, one EP, nine singles and feature on many compilations, but the music is quality and that's what really counts.

BLITZ: The Albums 5CD CLAMSHELL BOX SET
Blitz was a street punk/Oi! band from New Mills, Derbyshire, England, formed in 1980 producing albums until 1983. The band signed to No Future in 1981, and their first release was the 7″ EP All Out Attack. Their debut album Voice of a Generation received a five-star review from Bushell in Sounds. The original Blitz lineup consisted of Carl Fisher (vocals), Charlie Howe (percussion), Nidge Miller (guitar), and Neil "Mackie" McLennan (bass). After Fisher and McLennan had a disagreement, Fisher and Howe formed their own band. In 1983 they produced Second Empire Justice on the No Future label with Tim Harris (guitar, keyboards), crediting Mackie. Because of its departure into post-punk and new wave characteristics it did not do well with the original Oi! audience. The album was commercially unsuccessful at the time, the No Future label sank, because Blitz was their main income and with it the Fisher and Howe arrangement. According to Miller, the band split up, because the original members had no interest in "touring, plus they were never really into the music." It was Miller alone who produced the 1989 album The Killing Dream playing all instruments (guitars, bass, drums) with Gary Bassnett on vocals. This 90 track, 5 disc clam shell box set features everything released by Punk legends Blitz. The 20 page booklet comes complete with detailed liner notes, pictures of all relevant record sleeves and memorabilia and clippings from the era.
I remember hearing the classic "Someone's Gonna Die" and couldn't believe hav much I loved it and how thick it sounded, like a jet-liner taking off in my face, I knew that I needed more from this band. Disc 1 is the seminal Voice Of A Generation album which hit No.27 in the UK National Charts as well as topping the Independent Chart. This album is fantastic with songs like "4.Q.," which lept me coming back to it year after year, and playing it for anyone who would listen. A great debut that retains the pure power and force that makes it stand out from the pack. Disc 2 is a 29 track collection of non LP singles, B-sides and compilation cuts that was mostly the way a lot of people, myself included heard Blitz mostly. Back then, compilation albums were a great way to hear bands new songs, rare songs and get people to pick up their own releases. This CD is chock full of fantastic songs and will be stuck in your player for hours. Disc 3 is a rare In Concert live recording from 1982. This is an amazing in your face concert showcasing the band playing their hearts out to an appreciative crowd. CD 4 is the No.5 Indie Chart album Second Empire Justice which now features the "Telecommunication" and "Solar" singles as a bonus. This is the album that the older fans just shook thier heads at, "where was the punk, the fire?" The band took a lot of stick for coming across more like Joy Division than the old punk band that they were, but they still had great songs and the album sounds good in the light of years passing. Lots of hooks, and the lyrics were still on point, just let yourself relax and enjoy it. The fifth and final disc is the band's album from 1990 The Killing Dream, now restored to its original track listing and running order. With a drum machine and still sounding like a post-punk album, it has some good moments, but isn't the punk powerhouse that people might have been expecting. It still has enough interesting things going for it that I enjoyed it more now than I did back when it came out.
Having this great band collected is such a treat and will keep you happy for hours and hours, just keep an open mind. his is the definitve collection of a vital band that more people need to hear.

SALVATION CITY ROCKERS: Too Young To Die…Too Fast To Live…Street Punk Is The Only Way Out!: LP/CD
Posted on June 3, 2015 by harleytexas
French street punks Salvation City Rockers from Paris combine old school punk, some ska, a touch of reggae and street punk on this LP to great effect. It's always a treat getting an album from a band that goes beyond your expectations.
This album is incredibly varied, and every song comes with a lot of feeling, emotion and melody. The fantastic guitar playing, pounding drums, driving bass and Hammond organ mix together for a collective sound that borders on terrific. Singer Alteau's voice suits everything on here, from the punk rock songs, to the more 2-Tone tinged numbers. This has the sound of a touch of RANCID, and in turn THE CLASH as well, but it still sounds fresh and exciting. Song after song are tightly played and sung with conviction and power, making you want to keep replaying the album again and again. I can't pick just a few songs that I like, since I enjoyed them all and will for a long time. They do a great cover of the Teddybears song "Punk Rocker," and you get to see Bernie Dexter doing her great pin-up look on the cover and inside too.
This was a great old sounding street punk album that carries on the great tradition of Oi! into the future with a performance that makes your hair stand on end. Grab a copy, lace up the boots, and crank this bad boy up!

there once was a poor man whose only possession in life was an old donkey. one day while walking his donkey to a pond to get water, he was approached by a clever man wearing a velvet cloak with a silver cane. the stranger asked the old man if he cared to make a friendly wager. the old man being poor and simple, said that he had nothing to wager with. "well, you have a fine donkey right here!" said the stranger. "i'll wager these four silver coins against your donkey if you can solve my riddle." the old man thought about the food that four silver coins might buy, for he and his donkey were very hungry indeed."okay my friend," the old man said, "i will accept your wager." the stranger in the cloak grinned and began to draw a large circle in the sand with his silver cane. "now show me my good friend," he said handing the old man the cane, "where does the circle start, and where does it end?" the old man smiled because he knew the answer to the riddle. "if i answer your riddle, would you also give me your silver cane and warm cloak?" the stranger began to get nervous, but he knew there was no answer to his riddle. so he agreed. the old man pointed to the center of the circle with the cane, "well to begin with, every circle has an empty center do you agree?" the stranger was getting impatient. "yes yes, i suppose so, go on." the old man then beat the stranger to death with the cane. that night, the velvet cloaked old man traded the donkey for a pint of cold ale and ordered the 'four silver coin twins' at the village brothel.
The man's got sense. Buy him a drink from me.


In France, Reuters reports that Total has decided to delay the start up of its $227 million La Mede biofuel refinery revamp until Q1 2019. The 500,000 metric ton per day facility was meant to start up over the summer but the company's CFO didn't say what the reasons were for the delay when the announcement was made on an investor's call last week. The facility has been at the center of a giant controversy about the sustainability of importing palm oil for feedstock pitted against French farmers who demanded the company by feedstock from them.


This episode catches up with the Klingons and thanks to some superb performances and a couple of unbelievable revelations, Point of Light is another excellent hour of TV.
The Klingons are back and better than ever in Star Trek Discovery season 2, episode 3, Point of Light. Discovery and its crew takes a bit of backseat in this latest episode as we catch up with L'Rell (Mary Chieffo) and Tyler (Shazad Latif) on the Klingon homeworld for a dose of blood-thirsty political intrigue. Thanks to the strong performances we've come to expect from both Chieffo and Latif, coupled with a shocking revelation about their relationship, Point of Light is a welcome reminder why it's worth steering away from the stars every now and again. With mild spoilers from this point on, here's our verdict on Star Trek Discovery season 2, episode 3.
With the first couple of episodes establishing Discovery's new course, it's now time to turn our attention to the other much-loved characters from Star Trek Discovery season 1 who aren't aboard the starship. While it will come as no surprise to any fans who've been paying attention to casting announcements about the second season that both Chieffo and Latif are back, there are definitely some questions being asked about how they would be worked into the second season's storyline. Thankfully, if Point of Light is any indication of what's to come, the writers have expertly maneuver both characters into positions full of potential without diminishing the events of the Star Trek Discovery season 1 ending.
Chancellor L'Rell is hard at work establishing her leadership and cementing the unification of the Klingon Empire after the war, and we quickly realise that having Tyler at her side isn't doing her any favours. The other Klingons see him as nothing more than a human despite his connection to Voq, and Tyler himself still struggles with his duel personalities pulling him in different directions. As L'Rell's torchbearer, he's as strong and ruthless as any Klingon, but in private he cannot hide the change that the transformation has over him. Both Chieffo and Latif remind you within seconds why their characters are so captivating, and there's a particularly touching exchange between the pair, which hints at the torment they both suffer being together… and yet not being together. It says a lot that a Star Trek show can so expertly convey such a complex relationship - something which none of the previous Trek series manage.
Despite the interest in the current Klingon set-up, it's clear that L'Rell and Tyler have to be separated to continue with their (no doubt very different) season 2 storylines. After all, Tyler obviously needs to reconnect with Burnham, and L'Rell has an Empire to rule. If you're worried about just how the show was going to manage that (I know I was!), you can breathe easy as the core storyline of Point of Light is so intriguing, exciting, and shocking that you don't even realise until the very end that it's left both characters in perfect positions for what's to come, without awkwardly killing anyone off, making up some unbelievable excuse, or creating a plot hole. Not only that, but the heart-breaking events of the episode (I'm not going to go into details because you really deserve to watch it for yourself), adds an extra richest to their characters and their relationship, which they didn't need, but is still so well done, you'll want to stand up and applaud by the end.
Then there's the other returning character who put in an appearance in episode 3. Oh Emperor... sorry, Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh), how we've missed you! Again, if you've been paying any attention to the news surrounding Star Trek Discovery season 2 then you'll already know that Yeoh was returning and that the Emperor has joined the mysterious Federation black ops unit Section 31. It's the perfect fit for the character and thankfully, there's already a spin-off in the works because after this episode, everyone will be clamoring for more! For now though, the Emperor remains satisfied with merely dropping in, saving everyone, and then leaving again with everything she wants… Even with limited screen time - and in an already standout episode - she manages to be one of the best things about Point of Light, and I can't wait to see more of her. Not to mention her new Captain, Leland (Alan van Sprang), who merely cameoed in episode 3, but promises so much more.
Back on the Discovery, Tilly's new 'friend' is causing her problems as she's trying to impress Captain Pike and succeed in the Command Training Programme. Thankfully, Discovery keeps up its usual fast pace and before the episode is done, we have an answer for what's going on with everyone's favourite Ensign - despite the mystery being far from over. On the other side of the spectrum, the whole 'Where is Spock' storyline is in danger of dragging on too long. For three straight episodes now, Spock and his connection to the red signals/angel has been at the heart of events, and for three straight episodes Discovery has been teasing the appearance of the iconic Original Series character. While the appearance of Burnham and Spock's mother Amanda (Mia Kirshner) in this episode is a welcome one, if the show keeps this up much longer, viewers are going to become frustrated with the constant talk, but lack of Spock. Hopefully, he'll put in an appearance soon.
With Point of Light, Star Trek Discovery turns in another excellent hour of TV, which will convince anyone who was worried otherwise, that the first season was no one-hit wonder. Barring the constant mention of the absent Spock, episode 3 - much like the show as whole - barely puts a foot wrong, ensuring that everything which happens off the USS Discovery is just as compelling as what happens on the starship. How it will all join up remains to be seen, but with 11 episodes to go and a proven track record for weaving complex mysteries together, fans can rest assured that only good things await them.

John Halamka: Animal Rescuer and Much More
Doctor, professor, IT guru, winemaker, sanctuary owner... anything else?
"Chickens are a gateway drug"
Farmer, doctor, educator, winemaker, board member, innovator. Someone charged with making the world a better place. These are a few of many titles and ways to describe John Halamka, proprietor of Unity Farm Sanctuary in Sherborn, MA. In the daytime you might catch him in the ER as an emergency physician or at Harvard as a medical professor. Most often, though, you'll find John with his family rehabilitating the mistreated animals saved from factory farms and surrounding areas.
John's story of farm animal sanctuary work is an interesting one, and he explains it to us like this: "chickens are a gateway drug. My wife was diagnosed with cancer in 2011, and her dream was to own chickens. So we started on a three acre no-limit farmland in Sherborn with a few chickens, and it grew from there. We took in alpacas, then horses, then cows. Now we're at more than 70 acres and 250 animals."
People are more receptive to animals
John says most of his colleagues approve of his dedication to the cause, and he says he's pretty proud of how intersectional his professional life is. "Yes I'm a doctor, but I'm also a farmer and my hands are rough, calloused, and filled with the work that it takes to keep 250 animals healthy."
John and his family all maintain a vegan lifestyle. And they encourage a vegan diet, though not in the hardline ways we're used to seeing in the media. "We promote veganism by letting people experience the benefits of what we've created at the sanctuary. It's more compelling than lecturing them on the problems with their lifestyle."
John has some practical advice for any would-be business owners: "do the planning so you know whatever you're doing in the long-term is sustainable." Nonprofits, he explains, certainly aren't profitable. So it's important to practice sustainability: environmentally, financially, economically.
John does a lot of the technical work on the farm, but he also performs basic medical procedures on animals that need it most… like performing microsurgery on a chicken's broken foot. That's why we're passing along FactSumo's anatomy deck (below) with John's story. And John adds that his business is growing. "You become known in the community as a destination for animals that are in need. In a strange way, we're a social network grown organically through the community."
"Nobody's going to remember you for having a Tesla"
Above all, John believes his legacy of optimism and benevolence is what will outlast his presence at the farm: "You won't find on anyone's tombstone, I wish I had more time for meetings. No one is going to remember you for owning a Tesla. So that's what really gives me great joy...the ability to make a difference."

Hahn & Co completes recap of H-Line Shipping
by thebell July 15, 2020 October 13, 2020
South Korea's buyout firm Hahn & Company has recently completed its recapitalization of its portfolio company H-Line Shipping, the former dry bulk cargo arm of bankrupt carrier Hanjin Shipping.
The buyout firm has completed raising 750 billion won ($624 million) in syndicated loans, according to sources on July 13. The total amount of the acquisition financing is 820 billion won, including a 750 billion-won syndicated loan and a 70 billion-won revolving credit facility. The latest recapitalization has been jointly arranged by Hana Bank and NH Investment & Securities.
Hana Bank and NH Investment & Securities reportedly provided approximately 550 billion won of the total. The two firms resold the amount mostly to their affiliates. An additional 200 billion won of debts was also resold in the market.
The borrowers are operating company H-Line Shipping and holding company Hahn & Co Marine Infrastructure Holdings Limited, which owns a 100 percent stake in the shipping firm. The two companies had borrowings worth 580 billion won: the holding company had senior and mezzanine tranches worth 300 billion won and 100 billion won respectively, while the operating company had borrowings worth 180 billion won.
With the latest recapitalization, the amount of loans increased by 170 billion won. H-Line Shipping has borrowed 250 billion won and the holding company has borrowed 500 billion won with an interest rate in the upper 4% range.
Hahn & Co has proceeded with the latest deal in a bid to replace existing investors in its H-Line Shipping with new limited partners. Prior to the deal, the buyout firm and Hana Financial Group agreed to jointly acquire the entire stake in H-Line Shipping for approximately 1.75 trillion won, which includes equity contributions of about 1 trillion won and senior loans worth 750 billion won.
Hana Financial Investment underwrote 300 billion won of the total equity contribution of 1 trillion won and is reselling to domestic institutional investors. Hahn & Co is reportedly raising the remaining equity contribution of 700 billion won from global limited partners. (Reporting by Hye-ran Kim)


Editor's Note: We want our GlobalFingerprints children to be nurtured by a local church. But in some unreached areas where we serve, there is no local church. That's why GlobalFingerprints partners with a church-planting movement in the country of Myanmar. By loving and serving the children in poor communities, GlobalFingerprints opens the door to build relationships with families and plant a church. Below is one story of how God used this powerful combination of child sponsorship and church planting to reach an unlikely convert. It is told by Pastor Pau, one of the church planters serving alongside GlobalFingerprints.
There is a father who is 70 years old and his daughter (sponsored by GlobalFingerprints) is about ten years old. They are homeless and his daughter has been coming to our church. But the father was very angry. He didn't like his daughter to be in our Christian community.
But as we showed love and helped with clothes, books and other gifts, he began to open up. He came came to see what his daughter is doing during the Saturday and Sunday programs. And He was drawn to the love of God.
…We really thank God, that his old man finally received Jesus Christ and he took water baptism together with his only daughter.

Red Rock State Park Facts
Red Rock State Park is a 286 acre park located in Yavapai County in the state of Arizona in the United States. The park's main feature is its red sandstone canyon and the park's mission is to preserve the Oak Creek riparian habitat and provide educational opportunities in its day-use only landscape. Prior to becoming Red Rock State Park, the land was part of Smoke Trail Ranch. It was purchased in 1941 by Jack Frye as a retreat. His wife Helen eventually gave the property to a religious movement, who later agreed to sell it to the state for use as a park. Red Rock State Park opened to the public in October, 1991.
Interesting Red Rock State Park Facts:
Red Rock State Park is named after the red rock that can be seen rising from the landscape.
Jack Frye, the man who purchased the portion of Smoke Trail Ranch for private use, was the president of Trans World Airlines at the time. He passed away in 1959.
In the 1970s Helen Frye transferred the property to a religious group, and in 1980 the governor of Arizona Bruce Babbit was told he was trespassing on private property when he hiked onto the land.
Bruce Babbit created a land exchange to secure the land for a state park, as he felt it was important to have public access to the waterways.
Red Rock State Park had a movie theater for educational purposes, a Junior Ranger program, and five miles of trails for visitors to explore.
From inside Red Rock State Park visitors can access land owned by the U.S. Forest Service, which has horseback riding trails and mountain biking trails.
Trees that can be found in Red Rock State Park include Arizona sycamores, velvet ash, Fremont cottonwoods, Arizona alders, netleaf hackberry, Utah junipers, alligator junipers, and velvet mesquites.
Large mammals that can be found living in Red Rock State Park include mule deer, coyotes, cougars, river otters, and collard peccaries.
The Lower Oak Creek region is an important bird area. Birds that can be found in Red Rock State Park include common mergansers, wood ducks, and common black hawks, among others.
Several species have been introduced to red Rock State Park including tumbleweed, Johnson grass, giant reed, and tamarisk.
Red Rock State Park's Oak Creek is the habitat to the threatened Sonora mud turtle, and several species of rare fish, as well as a variety of frog species.
In order to protect the environment of red Rock State Park there are several restrictions that visitors must obey. These include no wading or swimming, no pets, and no hiking off the trails. The park is day use only.
There is a wide flood plain in Red Rock State Park that can flood during heavy rains.
Red Rock State Park is often graced with the migration path of the Monarch butterflies each year.
Visitors to red Rock State Park can participate in guided nature walks, guided bird walks, lectures, the full moon hike, and can choose to go on self-guided hikes as well.

A new film by Veiko Õunpuu.
Mirtel Pohla. Juhan Ulfsak. Lauri Lagle. Meelis Rämmeld. Eva Klemets. Peeter Raudsepp. And Veiko Õunpuu.
We want to make a film the way you do theatre, where the result comes from our collective experimentation and is as spontaneous as possible.
To begin with, all we have is a location – a farm by the sea, on the edge of the primeval, gloomy Roukli oak grove. And an untranslatable Inuit concept: "Iktsuarpok". That vague feeling of anticipation that leads you to keep looking outside to see if someone is coming. This restless longing is where our film begins. As to what comes next, here we keep silent. So as not to attempt to describe things that lack form and which would only become lies if put into words.
We don't want to lie. We do want to give our all to reach the untouched core of humanity.
All we need is a bit of money – for food, transportation, and equipment rental.
That's why we are looking for people who want to contribute to the making of this film. And that's why there's a crowdfunding pitch. And that's why there's you.
Dear friend, will you help us?
The film will be completed by the end of 2014.
Invitation to a special screening with the filmmakers and actors (in Estonia).
Invitation to a special screening + a postcard from an actor during the shoot.
All the previous + a download of the film and an autographed poster.
Invitation to the premiere + a download of the film and autographed poster.
Invitation to a special dinner with the actors and filmmakers at the end of the shooting period in fall 2014 + invitation to the premiere.


At least once a term each class or the whole school will participate in an enterprise event using many or all of these key skills, on some occasions the skills are also incorporated into aspects of lessons.
Our Christmas Enterprise Event for families and parents is Thursday 14th December - doors open at 2pm. Don't forget your pennies!

Public input scheduled, changes to downtown coming as part of Main Street plan
By Natalie Anderson
Published 12:00 am Friday, December 4, 2020
natalie.anderson@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Early next year, locals will have a chance to provide their input and feedback on a Downtown Main Street Plan currently in the works to "bring downtown back to life" for 10 blocks along Main Street.
Salisbury Urban Design Planner Alyssa Nelson and Senior Landscape Architect Dan Lambert, of McAdams Landscape Architecture and Engineering firm, presented city council members on Tuesday with the early renderings of a multi-phased streetscape plan for 10 blocks along Salisbury's Main Street. One part of the plan involves re-striping, while the other includes a vision for sidewalks and parking improvements.
The area would span from the Monroe Street intersection with South Main Street to the railroad tracks on North Main Street. The purpose of the plan is to make infrastructure improvements for parking, lighting, curbs and gutters and storm system sewers.
The project is still in the stage of receiving community feedback, with a goal of formally hosting feedback opportunities in January, Nelson said.
Additionally, the North Carolina Department of Transportation will be repaving Main Street sometime between March and November of next year.
"The last time Main Street was paved was in 2004, and our next opportunity will not be for another 10 or more years," Nelson said.
The project began in 2016 when Downtown Salisbury Inc. hosted open-house sessions to collect feedback for downtown improvements. The cooperation with DSI on this project will be helpful when applying for grants, Nelson said.
In 2019, the city formally hired McAdams Landscape Architecture and Engineering. Lambert has worked on street improvement projects in Colorado, Arizona and on Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as well as streetscape improvements in Durham, Raleigh and Greensboro.
Lambert outlined the process that took place to get to the current "hybridized dream plan." The process included public input via online surveys and in-person events, which led to the creation of a "heat map" to assess the most visited areas along the 10-block span. A site analysis and traffic study were then conducted to assess connections between existing parking areas and pedestrian zones in an effort to emphasize the strong points and take a look at what areas need to be stronger, he said.
These studies led to the idea of dropping the four-lane profile with the steep angle for parking that's currently in place, and moving to a three-lane model with a shallower parking angle. The ideal plan also included pedestrian enhancements that narrow the overall path, while maintaining the functionality of the area.
"It just so happens that peak-hour traffic counts are not requiring a four-lane profile," Lambert said. "Three lanes actually makes them better, especially with turning movements."
The firm then developed three options for parking angles, which considered planted islands in the center within areas that don't need a turn and landscape enhancements and nodes where pedestrians gather. The "dream plan" included reversed-angle parking, 45-degree or 60-degree parking and parallel parking where possible.
However, NCDOT vetoed that plan as they prefer the nose-in parking at 45 degrees and a few mandatory line widths and parking dimensions. Additionally, recent policy changes no longer allow mid-block crossings or planter islands in the center lane.
Following negotiations with NCDOT, the "hybridized dream plan" was then created, Lambert said.
The plan will include left turn lanes throughout the entire corridor, with designated areas for bus stops and unloading zones. As one travels farther north in the corridor, parking will transition from diagonal on both sides to a split of diagonal parking on one side and parallel parking on the other.

Parallel parking would be on both sides in the area between Monroe Street to Horah Street, with left turn lanes in both directions. Trees, lights and furnishings would exist within the first five feet from the curb, with 15 additional feet of sidewalk.
Then when moving to the area between Bank and Fisher streets, parallel parking would be on one side and diagonal parking on the other, with five fewer feet from the curb in that area.
Diagonal parking would be included for both sides from Fisher Street to Innes Street, which allows for a higher volume of parking as there is more activity in this area. The area would include 15-feet sidewalk and furnishing zones.
Moving farther north, from Kerr Street to Cemetery Street, there would be no additional parking. However, the area allows for about 7 feet of room for bike lanes.
"We're really going to just keep the character of what's up there, which is street, trees and grass," Lambert said. "And that just starts to speak to that tapering down from the urban core back to the residential areas to the north."
Lambert said the depth of the parking spots were based on what's necessary for a Ford F-150 Quad Cab, which is the second longest vehicle they suspect will be parked in the area.
"Right now, we would all admit that we've seen the truck parked in the diagonal space in the 100 block of South Main Street that sticks out into the oncoming traffic lane," said council member Brian Miller. "If we do a three-lane cross section, we'll get rid of that."
Mayor Pro Tem Al Heggins asked about the ability to implement bike lanes in the main square of downtown, but Lambert said the right-of-way narrows with diagonal parking, and the goal is to not eliminate any sidewalk space. He added that parking could transition to parallel in that area, but it would result in less parking availability, which is something many people prioritized in initial public input.
Heggins also asked about parking availability for bikes, and Nelson said more parking spaces for bikes are going to be implemented soon using a grant from the city's Parks and Rec Department. Lambert said there will be some "bump-out" areas that can be used for additional bike parking space.
Council member David Post expressed concern for NCDOT beginning the repaving project so soon with the pandemic impacting the ability for sufficient public input. Lambert said NCDOT will only be resurfacing and repainting everything that exists currently or based on any interim plan they provide for the future parking plans.
"This is a vision as much as anything of where we'd like for it to be when it's been fully designed (and) when the funding is available," Lambert said. "This is a future look. NCDOT doesn't expect for us to have a finalized design for where the curves will be in the future when they come to do their work next year."
Mayor Karen Alexander asked about how the plan will impact future economic development projects, such as the Empire Hotel project, as these areas may eventually have a different need for the sidewalk and curb space. She also said the map included too many loading zones in parking areas, and that blocking off existing spots for loading may be a better idea.
But Lambert said those issues were addressed when formulating the plan. The implementation of loading zones are targeted for blocks that don't have easy alleyway access. Additionally, companies like UPS and Amazon make deliveries all throughout the day, he added.
For the most part, the NCDOT will cover the cost of striping the streets. But Lambert said it's still too early in the process to estimate the total cost of the project due to some unanswered questions and incomplete construction documents, in addition to "dealing with a very old downtown" with a lot of "under-the-ground surprises" in terms of utilities.
"There's a lot of investigation that needs to go into it before we can say, legitimately, it's going to be 'X' number of million dollars," Lambert said.
Salisbury Engineering Director Wendy Brindle said contractors may have to undo some of what NCDOT does next year, but that it will still achieve the goals of the final plan.
"It will, like it has in the past, set up the template for the future project," Brindle said. "And yes, when we come through with our dream project, whatever that may be, because of the old infrastructure under the street, there will be things that have to be torn up and replaced."
Council member Tamara Sheffield asked if this plan could allow for more outdoor dining space, and Lambert confirmed there is some space for that, though some areas will have less space to work with based on the parking pattern.
"I think it's important that people understand that it's going to be done in phases and that what they're going to see when DOT is completed is very different than these beautiful renderings with all the brick and everything," Alexander said.
Miller said having this plan is critical when applying for grants.
"I love this. Actually, the reason I ran for council in the first place was to try to accomplish something just like this," Miller said. "We got to have this plan. We have to have some sort of master plan in order to qualify for grants. Because the reality that I've learned in the last 11 years is we're not going to be able to pay for this by ourselves. It's just too expensive. So being able to get grants will enable us to do this."
The next step of the process will be obtaining public input, which could be a challenge in the era of COVID-19. The firm and city plan to provide an interactive map format using forums like Zoom and SurveyMonkey, along with two large-scale virtual meetings, to allow for public input. Lambert also said it's worth considering a socially distanced in-person meeting for locals without access to the internet or technology.

Home/ ACU News/ Sports/ Debut of Wildcat Stadium surpasses all expectations
Debut of Wildcat Stadium surpasses all expectations
ABILENE – When last Saturday night's game against Houston Baptist had come to an end with ACU on the right side of a 24-3 final score, director of athletics Lee De Leon spotted ACU president Dr. Phil Schubert on the turf at brand new Anthony Field at Wildcat Stadium and wrapped him in a bear hug.
"We did it!" De Leon exclaimed through his own tears and above the roar of the sellout crowd of 12,000 fans, whose celebration had suddenly turned a football game into a block party. "We did it!"
They certainly had.
What they and an army of people across the ACU campus – along with partners at HKS Architects and HOAR Construction – had done was successfully bring Wildcat football back to a permanent on-campus venue for the first time since 1942.
But even with three years of planning and thought given to the grand opening, no one could have been prepared for the night they experienced. From Wildcat Country to Wildcat Walk to the game to the post-game fireworks show, the debut of Wildcat Stadium surpassed even the loftiest of expectations.
An unforgettable night more than three years in the making after April and Mark Anthony announced on Feb. 14, 2014, the single largest gift in ACU history – $30 million with $15 million designated for the football stadium and $15 million designated for the building and refurbishing of three science facilities – had come to an end with first-year head coach Adam Dorrel presenting the Anthonys, Schubert and De Leon each with a game ball in recognition of the win and their leadership in getting the stadium built.
"We had an unbelievable atmosphere out there," Dorrel said after the game. "I've been fortunate in 18 years of college coaching to have been in some big venues and big games: national championship games and coaching overseas with Team USA. But Saturday night ranks right up there with some of the very best memories I've had of being on the football field. It was a special night because so many people put so much hard work into it. This is a milestone win for our program."
After being presented with his game ball, Schubert briefly addressed the team, saying, "This is a new era in Wildcat football. Every day from today on is part of a different era."
The feeling of turning the page from one era to the next – Shotwell Stadium to Anthony Field at Wildcat Stadium – was palpable on the field, in the stands and in Chuck Sitton Tower, the gleaming five-story press box that houses a club level, loge seats, luxury suites and a press level.
No longer will the Wildcats have to share a stadium with the Abilene school district where "Eagles" and "Cougars" are in the north and south end zones, respectively. No longer will students have to leave campus to go to home football games. No longer will the Wildcats have to take a bus – or in some cases, their own vehicles – to games.
In the stands, the 9,000 seats (plus 2,500 on the north berm and 500 in the tower) provide a cozy home-field advantage as compared to the spread-out 15,000 seats at Shotwell Stadium where even a decent crowd of 10,000 fans could make the stadium seem empty.
And in the press box where the press level in Chuck Sitton Tower features a men's and women's restroom (Shotwell had one unisex restroom), as well as heating and air conditioning, neither of which have ever made an appearance at Shotwell.
But it wasn't just inside the stadium that was different. Outside there was tailgating in the mall area of campus and a Wildcat Walk that escorted the players and coaches through thousands of fans from the campus center to their locker room to get ready for the game.
"This is really cool that we all get to be so close together," ACU student Bailly Swartz told 'The Adam Dorrel Show.' "It's so much easier for people to get here rather than making the commute to Shotwell. This has much more of an ACU feel to it."
And that's exactly what everyone who dreamed of one day having an on-campus football stadium wanted. And Wildcat Stadium certainly delivered.
"This is ours," De Leon has told thousands of people since he became the director of athletics in November 2014. "We don't have to share it with anyone. This is a game-changer for our football program, and I believe we'll look back on this night as a monumental one in the history of ACU football."

Bill Gates wants to use nuclear power in the future, what do you think?
Bill Gates said that nuclear energy is very useful in the future, even though the use of this energy is still quite controversial. But Bill Gates believes it can ward off climate change.
He explained that this energy is considered negative because it is associated with the atomic bomb or radioactive disaster, but for him, this energy is very important in the future.
Currently, the need for clean energy is getting bigger. The operation of a nuclear power plant can be a solution because it does not release greenhouse gas emissions at all.
Later he will become an investor if this energy is actually used. He also promised to make nuclear energy safer and more affordable. Even some countries in the world are starting to adopt it.
How are you guys? Moreover, people still haven't forgotten the Chernobyl case in 1986 in Ukraine and the nuclear plant disaster in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan in 2011 following the earthquake and tsunami.

Half of Earth's Population Are Now Internet Users, Spending Nearly 7 Hours a Day
How to solve Windows 10 search not working is very easy and doesn't take long. Guaranteed, your search bar will work immediately.
As we both know, on a laptop or PC that uses the Windows 10 operating system, there must be a search bar that you can use to search for various computer programs.
However, there are times when the search bar only loads continuously or even until a white display appears which makes us panic.
Actually, there are many causes for the error search bar. Guys. However, the most common cause is because the computer system has an error.
To fix this, you can follow the steps below.
EASY! HERE'S HOW TO FIX WINDOWS 10 SEARCH NOT WORKING
The first step is to open the Task Manager by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys.
Select the Process tab and look for Cortana.exe.
If you have found it, right-click and select End Task.
Wait for a moment. Later, you will see the search bar which becomes inactive
Then, the search bar will be active again and you can try it first
Usually, only by doing this method, the search bar on your laptop or PC will immediately return to normal and be able to function again.
That's it Guys, how to solve Windows 10 search not working, easy, right? Haha. So, don't panic if your search bar suddenly doesn't work.
Apple Troubled in India, Allegedly Violating Antitrust Rules
Apple Inc was reported to be in trouble in India in early 2022. India's business competition regulator has ordered an investigation into Apple for alleged business practices that violate antitrust rules.
Quoted from Reuters on Saturday (1/1/2022), the Competition Commission of India (CCI) opened this investigation after the non-profit group "Together We Fight Society", reported allegations that Apple abused their dominant position by forcing developers to use in-app payment systems.
The organization said Apple charges 30 per cent for paid digital content distribution and increases fees for app developers and customers, disrupting competition.
In addition, the ban imposed by Apple also disrupts market access for developers and distributors who could potentially enter India, CCI said.
"At this stage, the Commission believes the prima facie case against Apple is worthy of investigation," CCI said.
Meanwhile, Apple itself has not spoken about this case.
Last month, Apple denied the allegations and asked regulators not to proceed with the case, arguing that India's market share is insignificant, only 0 to 5 per cent.
However, CCI thinks Apple's argument about market share is "grossly misguided" because the ban is meant for app developers, not ultimate consumers.
Windows 11 Enterprise Virtual Machine Is Available!
If you are waiting for Windows 11 Enterprise, which contains a number of Enterprise-class features, of course, then the good news is here for you, because some time ago Microsoft finally released the Windows 11 version, even though it is still a virtual machine file.
The file consists of several different files according to the user's preferred VM application preferences, there are VMWare, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and Parallels, and not only Windows 11 Enterprise but there are also a number of things that are included in this VM including:
Window 11 Enterprise (evaluation)
Windows 10 SDK, version 2004 (10.0.19041.0)
Visual Studio 2019 (latest as of 10/09/21) with the UWP, .NET desktop, and Azure workflows enabled and also includes the Windows Template Studio extension
Visual Studio Code (latest as of 10/09/21)
Windows Subsystem for Linux enabled with Ubuntu installed
Developer mode enabled
Windows Terminal installed
Still quoted from the Microsoft page, this VM package has an expiration date of January 9, 2022, not long, right?, of course, because this is the Evaluation version which as usual has a time limit of approximately 90 days.
Size and How to Download
As for the size itself, this VM package is around 17 – 20.5 GB in size, quite large indeed, because once again it includes a number of applications and even WSL with the Ubuntu distro.
As for how to download it, you can just go to the https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/ page to download this Windows 11 Enterprise VM.
So if you're curious, just try it, for the installation tutorial itself, I'll make it in the next article. Thank you.

A coinage to recognise the value of technical knowledge in the public domain.
One of the demands the LDCs are making in Copenhagen is the transfer of low-carbon technology. They have a point. The core inventions of the fossil fuel age – internal combustion engines, steam turbines, oil wells and so on – are a hundred years old; coal mining, much more than that. If you want the state of the art in these technologies, of course you will have to license patents. But the IP rent is severely constrained by the facts that you can build a perfectly good coal power station using the technology of 1989 without paying a cent, and that the current patents cover incremental improvements for which there are often effective alternatives. In effect, there's competition between IP holders.
Not so for renewable technologies, which are younger snd therefore more in the patent window. Obama is betting $2.4 billion of US taxpayer money on batteries; this is intended to create a US dominance of the IP. Mass deployment of solar PV also depends critically on future patentable improvements. So it's reasonable for poor and middle-income countries to worry a lot about IP rentals and dependence.
Welcome to the world of qatents [originally mistyped qu-, see comment 1]. My coinage: qatent is to patent as copyleft is to copyright. It denotes a patentable invention wholly or partly in the public domain. The Latin converse of patent is latent; but this has a meaning already, and quite the opposite of what we want. Qatent is a typographical pun: the lower-case letter q is the mirror-image of p, a symmetry which should appeal to Steven Chu.
The patent system isn't a battlefield like copyright, with extremists on both sides dismantling Queen Anne's sensible compromise: Disney's and Bono's "copyright is for ever" vs. the hackers' "information shall be free". I've no idea whether the 20 years life of patents is optimal, rather than 15 or 25, but it's stable and workable. At first sight, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Now that Qinetiq have patented this idea nobody will use it, even if it works. Patents are seen as damage: people route around them.
Big technology companies like Qinetiq routinely patent lots of stuff not so much to market it in products but defensively, against rival companies. Sue me for patent infringement, and I'll sue you. But this arms race can have a chilling effect on third parties, and slows down innovation.
One great benefit of the copyright wars has been the emergence of the copyleft movement. We don't just have new legal forms for placing copyright in the public domain (the Creative Commons and GNU licenses), but a growing cultural recognition that the public domain is immensely valuable, that enriching it is a public-spirited act, and that it should be safeguarded and spread.
Qatents already have a simple legal form for donation to the public domain: you just publish your idea on the web, and it's prior art that blocks a rival from patenting (if the patent office hears of it). I guess there's scope for better intermediate forms, as with the Creative Commons partial licenses and GNU, that allow you to make a text or program free for non-profit use but not for commercial.
More important is the cultural recognition, for which a name is essential. We also need better institutions for dissemination: qatents are orphans and need altruistic guardians. Patent offices are already custodians of those qatents that are expired patents, but there's a whole mass of technical knowledge out there that has never been patented – think of ethnobotany, or (advt.) my own clever idea here. This disorganised corpus needs to be made more searchable.
Let's set up a Qatent Office as custodian of free technical knowledge.
"Welcome to the world of quatents. My coinage: qatent is to patent as […]"
Lexicography fail. If you yourself can't keep straight whether it's supposed to be "quatent" or "qatent", nobody else will be able to, either.
Then there's the question of pronunciation – how the heck do you want English speakers to form that initial u-less q? Is is a glottal or uvular stop, as in Arabic? Or are we supposed to say "katent" or "kwatent"? Or perhaps "chatent" (following the use of q in Pinyin)?
Don't take this personally, but you've hobbled a perfectly good concept with a perfectly horrible word. Maybe wait a few weeks and re-launch the idea with a different name? Otherwise, whenever the subject comes up, what people will remember is "that crazy unpronounceable word" rather than "that nifty idea".
There is at least one other huge huge problem with the current patent system beyond those listed in the article. The very concept of software, business process and genome related patents is ridiculous.
J: thanks for the typo pickup, I've corrected. The pun works better I think without the u; though the pronunciation must of course be parallel. Qinetiq have shown the way! Though they pronounce "kinetic." I'm happy to let the market decide.
Blake: right. A friend of mine, Mike Spedding, chief pharmacologist to a big French company, has been trying to draw a line around cell receptors – which should be in the public domain – and the chemicals that lock on to them, which should be patentable. There's already a public-domain database. For now, I'm only suggesting that the arguments on such matters will go better if there's a good vocabulary.
Patents are not as controversial as copyright, but they are controversial. The consensus among policy types is narrow: the pharmaceutical system as we know it today couldn't exist without patents. There are many supporters of patents for other inventions, but also many opponents. Both offer good arguments based on empirical evidence and rational economics. The opponents of patents further argue that there are other ways to structure the pharmaceutical development system.
That all being said, I can't see any problems with a qatent office. Patent offices have their own registries of prior art, but there is much to be said for open-source competition. There are a few practical problem: indexing, quality control, incentives. But it just might work, either on a standalone basis, or as a kind of indexing system appended to Wikipedia.
Ummm, if the Federal Gov't is going into battery research in a big way, aren't the patents generated automagically in the Public Domain? Or have the Republic's figured out a way around that bedrock principle too?
It's easy. The federal government doesn't actually do the research. It funds it through grants and contracts, and "public/private partnerships" and various other mechanisms. And somehow the contracts get written so that the stuff that's patentable "belongs" to whatever private entity is involved. Often by having the feds fund everything through proof-of-concept, and then leaving the private side to created patentable solutions to all the gotchas that stand between the proof of concept and large-scale production.
This idea has been suggested over the years as a way for indigenous people to protect their traditional knowledge from other people's patents. The problem is that the only advantage, really, is that you don't have to incur the expense of patenting, given that if you get a patent you can always license to anyone or everyone, or even abandon the patent to the public. And there are disadvantages. For one thing, inventions often cost more to create than do copyrighted works, so getting one's money back is a bigger deal. (That's probably why the idea was raised more in the traditional-knowledge context, where return on investment is not the primary goal.) And the patent-as-bargaining-chip you mention is important in some industries, mostly those related to computers. Unless everyone agrees to eschew patents, everyone needs his bargaining chips. And of course if everyone agrees, that would be an antitrust violation.

Q: iOS Static library - If a public header imports private headers, do those headers also become public? I'm building a static library for iOS using Xcode. If I have a public header file, that imports a bunch of private header files, do those header files become public? Or would also have to make these header files public so they can be accessed?

A: Yes, otherwise it will not compile.
Before your code is going to be compiled, preprocessor replaces #include ... statement with content of respective header file. If preprocessor can't do it, it will fail.
In other words, you must have all header files, and all header files used in header files, ... accessible.
Create .c / .m file, include your header file you would like to make public and select Product - Perform Action - Preprocess "..." to see what happens. This is what will be compiled.
