In early February, a copyright complaint was filed in the Southern District of New York against comedian Jerry Seinfeld and a series of companies involved with the production and distribution of the web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The plaintiff, director Christian Charles, claims that he created the proof-of-concept and pilot episode upon which the web series is based and that he has been shut out from the production, profits and royalties in violation of his copyright.
Charles allegedly first pitched this show concept to Seinfeld in 2002 and while he "continued to collaborate creatively on many more projects" with Seinfeld, it wasn't until July 2011 that Seinfeld followed up on the project and asked Charles to contribute to development of the show. While shooting footage for a test pilot in October 2011, Seinfeld backed away from the project, allegedly saying, "I don't know what it is." Charles would go on to continue the project, completing a test pilot which was well received by Seinfeld and his representation and led Charles to work with his own representation to negotiate creative contribution and backend participation terms with other parties involved in the production of the series.
"When Seinfeld heard that my reps were negotiating…, his response was an irrational belief that only he deserved any credit for the show," Charles complaint reads. Seinfeld allegedly "expressed outrage" that Charles would participate as anything more than a work-for-hire director. After a pair of contentious phone calls, Charles alleges that Seinfeld, Sony and other defendants "willfully and swiftly moved forward with the Show without obtaining a chain-of-title or release paperwork for the concept; shutting me out." According to the complaint, Charles believes that Seinfeld has accrued millions of dollars in sponsorship and advertising deals regarding the web series and that the comedian may be earning $750,000 per new episode produced for Netflix. Along with direct and punitive damages, Charles is also seeking recognition by way of screen credit as well as appropriate compensation.
On April 4th, Seinfeld and other defendants in the case filed a memorandum of law in support of their motion to dismiss the case. Defendants argued that the copyright claim must be dismissed by the court as time-barred given that more than three years had passed since Seinfeld began claiming sole ownership of the show's concept. According to defendants, the plaintiff's acknowledgement that Seinfeld had been claiming sole ownership of the show since the series began open distribution in July 2012 provides a clear basis for dismissing the claims for being filed after the statute of limitations expired.
Further, the defendants argue that Charles fraudulently obtained his copyright and so it is invalid as a matter of law. Defendants registered their copyright to the first episode in Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee on September 8th, 2016. Ten days later, on September 18th, plaintiff Charles registered his copyright to a dramatic work titled Comedians in Cars Going for Coffee. "There can be no doubt that the suspicious change in the Show's title ('going for' as opposed to 'getting') was designed to mislead the Copyright Office into accepting a copyright application that directly conflicted with the one filed by Mr. Seinfeld," the defendants' filing reads. Further, defendants argue the plaintiff misleadingly changed the title of the copyright registration in the original complaint to make it seem as though the copyright covered Seinfeld's web series.
Jerry knows how to take care of Jerry. This kind of thing happens all the time in Hollywood. I for one find his apparent narccism increasingly offensive over time. He is his own god.
The appeal of Jerry Seinfeld and his glib, superficial pablum remains a mystery to me. Why he might co-opt others' theme material is not.
Interesting. So who should get more credit; the one who had the idea first supposedly or the one who takes the idea and executes it? Sounds to me like the director was too late in filing the patent.

Exciting news! Taylor and Family will be interviewd Friday by Global! So exciting. I will let you know when I get the information.
Yesterday was the MRI. Taylor was scheduled for 12:30, but didn't get in until later at around 2:30, which was terrible as Taylor couldn't eat or drink ALL DAY! Mindy says she asked for food and drinks all day using ALL her words...nummies, chippies, watey, juice,etc...you get the picture. So she was cranky, but after the took her for chicken nuggets and fries at McDonald's (her favourite!). Mindy sais she snacked all night after that.LOL Poor thing! They did manage to get in their routine of playing jump on the bed, Mr.Pototoe Head, "Ringy"(a.k.a Ring-around-the-rosie), stickers, coloring, foam squares, etc!
Tomorrow the meeting is at 3:00, which I hope to attend so I can update. Mindy figures there really shouldn't be that different opinion on all of this, that they don't see options. Please send us some prayers, energy, hopes and wishes! Maybe, just maybe we will get a miracle!
Fundraising is still going on at lightning speed! There are bottle drives this weekend. If you can even just help by doing your own and depositing into the trust fund, then letting me know how you do, etc as eventually we would love to thank everyone!
I am going to update first what is up and coming. Tomorrow Taylor will have another MRI so that they can see if they can erase any of the conflicting information regarding the last MRI results. On Thursday there will be the meeting to find out what the next steps will be.
Fundraising...WOW I have been so overwhelmed with the outpouring of support to Taylor, Mindy and Landon. Anyone wanting to follow some of it should head to Facebook under "A Wish for Taylor". My Cousin Lisa started her own fundraiser for Taylor: Bottle Drive, T-Shirts ("I Sent Taylor to Disneyland/World), raffle for Diamond earrings, Men's Diamond Solitaire. Raffle will take place at a Social Mixer (held at Flow Lounge who donated their space).
Melanie Shockey has also come up with her own fundraiser we would like help with. Melanie is making Barretts to sell for $5 with proceeds going to Taylor. If you can help sell them, have a business or could just spread the word you can contact her at mel.shockey@gmail.com I am posting pics with this post (see above).
Also I have had Tammy Jo Prevost has possibly another fundraiser idea, but I will let you know when I find out more.
I just want everyone to know how much this means to all of us. Things were so low with this latest news and with all this outpouring it has shown them the support they have, the love people have for them. I am running around like cray right now but will post again soon!
Love you all & Thanks for the continued support it has been quite the journey!
Well the day was slightly rough yesterday for Mindy and Taylor. Mindy was exhausted by the end of it and praying for some extra sleep in time...she got it! They slept until 9:00am so you crazy folks must have been praying for that! Awesome.LOL So Mindy and Taylor enjoyed a lovely breakfast of "Cinnamon Toast Crunch" than they were off for a visit to Nana Roberta's and Grandpa Don's house before Taylor got her dressing change. Mindy reports that Taylor is doing great so that is certainly a positive in all of this.
So they spoke briefly with the Neuro-psychologist, but will speak in depth tomorrow. When I know I will post. Basically at this point they figure from what the psychologist said was Taylor would be in say the lower stream of school, so if you have kids in the 10-1 stream that is the "academic" stream, whereas your 10-2 stream is more the technical school stream...so nothing to worry about! I teach both streams, which is what I am praying may be a reason Taylor came to our family.
We went for a bargain shopping hunt today. Taylor was fun, learning from Cousin Hayden how to run around stores climbing through racks, I was such a proud mother.LOL Awesome to see the kids in all their "kid" glory of irritating other shoppers.LMAO So tomorrow I will hopefully know more to tell you!
Picture is unrelated, but I just love pics of Taylor so I will try and add them in here so you all get to see our goosey girl!
Well I am waiting to find out more about the consequences of the radiation. I am sure that it is a "go". Mindy and Landon got the pictures that the "Kids with Cancer Society" had done for 20 families. They are gorgeous and I posted them on there for you all to enjoy. I also have Mindy's new tattoo on here. My cousins Felicia and Melissa both have been struggling with all the stuff that has been goig on in our family, so many dying of cancer, etc they came up with a design "Faith" with the dot of the "i" being the cancer ribbon. Very inspiring! So Mindy and Landon decided to do "Hope" with the "o" being the gold cancer ribbon for childhood cancer. I am going with my best friend Karla when she comes to town to get my "tatty"...I am feeling like a naughty child as I never saw myself getting a tattoo.

Spain's midfielder Saul Niguez celebrates after scoring at Wembley.
It may only be one match into the Luis Enrique era, but already Spain look like a different team and there are many positives to take away from the 2-1 win over England at Wembley.
The coach himself said after the match that he was satisfied with the win and performance, even if there are still some things to work on going forward.
Here, we list five ways in which Spain have changed for the better, as well as three issues that still need to be solved.
Luis Enrique wants his Spain team to be aggressive and to avoid passes that don't help the team come closer to scoring.
Already this evolution is happening, as Spain passed the ball just 626 times at Wembley compared to 1,114 against Russia at the World Cup.
The feeling is that La Roja are now making the necessary passes, ones which create good opportunities.
One of the other tactical ideas from the England win was the fact that the team pressed high up the pitch.
With three forwards working hard up front, they won the ball back 32 times and were able to start attacks from advanced positions.
This was a risky strategy too, with a poor piece of pressuring from Thiago leading to the English goal, but overall it was a good idea and a fresh one.
Luis Enrique wants his players to be decisive in both penalty areas, shooting or clearing quickly.
He doesn't want them to be ponderous and this was evident for most of the Saturday night match, apart from during the final few minutes of the English siege.
While there were three men leading the line for Spain, the new coach also wanted his midfielders not named Sergio Busquets to move around and to push forward too.
Saul Niguez is the embodiment of this box-to-box style of play, while Thiago did so on occasion too.
It was also clear that Luis Enrique will allow his players to interchange positions at times.
It has to be kept in mind that Spain trailed England in this match.
They went behind to an 11th minute Marcus Rashford goal, but they responded so well and equalised within two minutes.
This resolve wasn't really seen at the World Cup, as Spain often looked sunk for a while after the goals that they conceded.
Spain pushed for a third goal in the second half to try to seal the win, but their dominance didn't translate into a clear advantage on the scoreboard.
They had chances to go 3-1 up, but didn't take them and must keep that in mind for future matches.
While Spain were able to hold on to their narrow lead, they required a number of great saves from David De Gea and the referee's decision to rule out Danny Welbeck's goal to get across the finish line.
They'll hope that in the future they don't allow their opponents to come as close to equalising as England did.
There were three English corners in the final moments of the match and the English players were the ones who got to the ball on each of these occasions.
The aerial battle is, therefore, one other area where La Roja still have some work to do.

Goldman Sachs Leads $54 Million Investment in Infusionsoft
Published: Jan 7, 2013 Last Updated: Aug 17, 2020 by Small Business Editor In Small Business Press Releases 0
CHANDLER, Ariz., Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Infusionsoft today announces $54 million in growth capital financing from Goldman Sachs. The company will use the funds to ramp up product development, accelerate marketing and sales, and to grow its partner and education programs in the U.S. and internationally. Infusionsoft's all-in-one sales and marketing software combines CRM, marketing and e-commerce, and is designed specifically to help small businesses with fewer than 25 employees get more customers, increase repeat sales and save time. See the software that more than 12,000 small businesses use here.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120305/MM64272LOGO)
"We're pleased to welcome new investors who share our belief that successful small businesses are the engine behind the economy," says Infusionsoft co-founder and CEO Clate Mask. "No other company in the world serves small businesses an all-in-one sales and marketing software combined with services, strategy, education and passion like Infusionsoft does. We will use this new funding to further transform the way small businesses grow."
The financing follows a banner year for Infusionsoft, with record sales growth pushing the company to more than 12,000 small business customers representing 44,000 users in 70 countries. Infusionsoft solves the most common sales and marketing challenge for small business owners: attracting, capturing and converting leads in an effective way. Infusionsoft has combined CRM, marketing, and e-commerce into one, easy-to-use Web-based software. In 2012, Infusionsoft customers:
Captured 40 million new leads
Sent three billion emails with 99.5 percent deliverability
Processed $1.5 billion in e-commerce through the Infusionsoft shopping cart
Of the 27 million small businesses in the U.S., five million fit into Infusionsoft's target market of small businesses with two to 25 employees. These businesses are owner-operated, lack IT support, follow their buyers online and desperately need effective sales and marketing tools to succeed. Mid-market software and IT support is too expensive and complicated for small businesses, but simple sales and marketing tools can't effectively manage their growing businesses.
Infusionsoft's sales and marketing platform enables small businesses to attract new customers, market automatically, close sales quickly, sell online, get repeat sales and increase referrals. Infusionsoft helps small businesses automatically market and sell while also saving them time and money so they can invest in other areas of their business, and their life. The company packages education, strategy and services with its software so that customers have the opportunity to further learn how to grow their businesses.
"We believe Infusionsoft is the market leader in delivering an all-in-one sales and marketing software solution for true small businesses," says Raheel Zia, managing director for Goldman Sachs Group. "Infusionsoft is a proven partner in working with small businesses and Goldman Sachs is pleased to be an investor in this highly innovative and unique company in the software as a service industry."
The $54 million investment from Goldman Sachs, with participation from Arthur Ventures, will help fund Infusionsoft's future growth plans. To date, Infusionsoft has received a total of $71 million in funding. Goldman Sachs joins Mohr Davidow Ventures and Signal Peak Ventures as investors in Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft employs 350 people and recently moved into new headquarters in Chandler, Ariz., where it plans to grow to 1,000 employees in just three years.
Infusionsoft Customer Comments
"Since switching to Infusionsoft, the level of personalized customer care we have been able to deliver has increased dramatically without increasing our labor costs," says Damien Sanchez, owner of Mosquito Management LLC.
"Infusionsoft has been heaven sent. It allows me one place to go for working with the most important business systems; CRM, marketing, and shopping cart. And being able to automate my business systems and workflow has really changed the way I think about, and do, business," says Michael Mills, owner of Telestory Pictures.
"Honestly, I feel like Infusionsoft is the brains behind my business. I can handle the creative side just fine but if it wasn't for Infusionsoft there is no way I could track my sales, customers and leads," says Becki Crosby, owner of Whippy Cake.
"Infusionsoft lets us treat every customer as if they were our only customer and helps to cultivate lasting relationships with them," say Gonz Medina and Jason Heslop, co-owners of Blue Chip Athletic.

Newly-arrived refugee students come from various education backgrounds with different profiles and different cultural expectations of schooling. Upon arrival they must quickly adapt to a new school system and education culture which may challenge their expectations. They require specific guidance in order to help them settle in to post-primary school, and furthermore advice on school programmes and subject choices, and progression opportunities available to them. This article explores the various issues which affect Separated Children when they move into an Irish post-primary school and the strategies that schools can employ to help students overcome these barriers. Among them school induction, a buddy system and promotion of first language to assist in the learning process.

Q: How can I emulate Paint.NET's 'recolor' tool with ImageMagick? I'd like to recolor one shade of blue to another in an image (for which I also have vector copies).  In Paint.NET, I could pick up the color in my source image, choose a replacement color in the color picker, and broadly stroke the image until it's entirely recolored.  Intermittent shades of the color (as they're antialiased) are similarly recolored.
I'm trying to achieve the same effect with ImageMagick, but I can't make heads or tails of IM's documentation on recoloring.  I'd like to call something like
convert original.png -recolor-from #ff0000 -recolor-to ##00ff00 recolored.png

I've tried
convert original.png +level-colors '#172871,#092072' recolored.png

without success (original).

A: You can use
convert original.png -fuzz 15% -fill '#00ff00' -opaque '#ff0000' recolored.png

the larger the fuzz factor, the more similar colours will match. (Note the order of the parameters: fill is the to-colour but is first). See the ImageMagick replace basics page.


We arrived in Zurich a couple days ago. Since the time in our Berlin Apartment was up on the 15h and our skiing adventures don't start till the 20th we had a bit of time. So Zurich it is! Well, technically we are staying in Aeugst am Albis, a little town 50min by train. Feels very much like the Swiss version of Brentwood Bay.
Went for a walk after half a day of working. Having some data issues with ChatterBlock, and both Ashley and I were working. Once we got a good chunk of it done we headed out.
This is the view from our little B&B we are staying at. All this snow is very fresh. We arrived to a very green Switzerland, and overnight it snowed! What fun!
Ashley all happy with our Swiss designer house. We have a room very similar to the top one there with it's own balcony. LOVE the layout of the place, but would probably make it a bit more homey, and less designer. Wow, did I really just say that?
Wondering through the little town, is so much fun. Very fresh and clean running water. Really is amazing when the government puts such high value on the environment. Such a different feel from Germany, even though Germany is heading in the right direction. Really makes me realize just how much we are squandering in Canada. We can get away with it, just because we have so much!
Our mission was to find the small lake that was close by. This view through the trees was the first hint we are on the right path!
Taking the time to enjoy all the lovely trees, and snow, and wonderland we are now in.
Heading down the trail. The lake on our right, we are getting closer and closer.
Didn't bring the tri-pod but found a fence post that will work just as well. It's actually getting quite dark, but with a timed shutter and some lovely manual settings we get a lovely shot like this.
Another one pointing down the road we are traveling.
This is actually how dark it is getting. Just around the bend we found this other cute Swiss town in the distance all lit up.
Finally make it down to the lake. Although not after bush-waking through the snow and almost getting stuck in a swamp thing. Cupped some water in my hand and had a small drink. So very clean and fresh! Now I can say I've drunk from a clean Swiss lake on a snowy day. What a good break from a not so good half-day of work on a Sunday (the downside to this work remotely thing).
What lovely photographs. We missed you this weekend, and I'm glad that you took the time out from work to enjoy the snowfall, the lake, and the walk.
Those pictures are amazing Owen and Ashley. No snow in Victoria ... yet.
Thanks for blogging your trip.

Q: nginx config for Drupal&Boost&ImageCache UPD!!!: Issue discussed here is completely solved by this topic:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/155564
And by detailed exploration of:
Nginx configuration by Nginx&Drupal guru - António P. P. Almeida (Perusio).
https://github.com/perusio/drupal-with-nginx

can't solve the following problem:
I have FreeBSD, Apache 2.2, PHP (no FastCGI!) as apache module, nginx 0.8.5.4.

I'm trying to move Drupal portal having boost and image_cache enabled on it to personal VPS server.
My goal is to have clean_url rewrites in nginx and correct boost & image_cache rules.
Please help! I know that something's very wrong with my current nginx config. The whole day has been cut on it.
Here is nginx.conf (Only / route works now):

        }

     }
}

UPD: With this nginx.conf I have working /. And any other page gives me:
"The page isn't redirecting properly".
Who can explain me the order in which location rules are evaluated? And if it is "break" - when nginx meets this line, what it does next. I really tryed about 20 nginx config samples. I don't want one more link, I'd prefer answers of somebody, who has real understanding of what's going on in nginx.conf.
UPD2:
If I replace

        if (!-e $request_filename) {
            rewrite  ^/(.*)$   /index.php?q=$1  last;
            break;
        }

with:

        try_files $uri $uri/ @drupal;
        location @drupal {
            rewrite ^ /index.php?q=$uri last; # for Drupal 6
        }

Then all non-root pages give me 404 "The requested URL was not found on this server".

A: Answer 2:
Replace the following lines of conf
    if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite  ^/(.*)$   /index.php?q=$1  last;
        break;
    }

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://backend;
    }

with this:
location / {
    root   /path/to/drupal;
    index  index.php index.html;

    if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite  ^/(.*)$  /index.php?q=$1  last;
        break;
    }

}

Here is the useful link:

http://hostingfu.com/article/running-drupal-with-clean-url-on-nginx-or-lighttpd#toc-nginx

For quick info:
If drupal install in the root directory,
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite  ^/(.*)$   /index.php?q=$1  last;
 break;
}

If drupal in a subdirectory,
if ($request_uri ~* ^.*/.*$) {
rewrite ^/(\w*)/(.*)$  /$1/index.php?q=$2 last;
break;
}

A: Having nginx configured this way:
https://github.com/stanislaw/config_files/blob/master/nginx.conf led Drupal to following behaviour:
All worked okay, if the site was in maintenance mode. Navigating all non-root urls (signed in as admin) was ok. But if I put site to online mode, then I again began to get all there "Page isn't redirecting properly" (first UPD).
Then I tested the same configuration on fresh drupal installiation - it worked in both off- and online modes. Navigation to all clean_urls worked.
I think that config is indeed working!, but the site I'm trying to deploy contains of many modules, that can cause such improper redirects.
I ended up having clean urls in vhosts section for my site leaving this problem for the future. My present config is very similar to the one on github (see the link) but it has clean_urls section commented (I use 'location /' instead of 'location ~ .php' now).
Anyway, I would be very thankful really for any advices & comments on my current config (see nginx.conf on github - link above).
UPD: here's related post on nginx's drupal group:

Polish Troops Find Sarin Warheads
WARSAW, Poland – Terrorists may have been close to obtaining munitions containing the deadly nerve agent cyclosarin (search) that Polish soldiers recovered last month in Iraq, the head of Poland's military intelligence said Friday.
Polish troops had been searching for munitions as part of their regular mission in south-central Iraq when they were told by an informant in May that terrorists had made a bid to buy the chemical weapons, which date back to Saddam Hussein's (search) war with Iran in the 1980s, Gen. Marek Dukaczewski told reporters in Warsaw.
"We were mortified by the information that terrorists were looking for these warheads and offered $5,000 apiece," Dukaczewski said. "An attack with such weapons would be hard to imagine. All of our activity was accelerated at appropriating these warheads."
Dukaczewski refused to give any further details about the terrorists or the sellers of the munitions, saying only that his troops thwarted terrorists by purchasing the 17 rockets for a Soviet-era launcher and two mortar rounds containing the nerve agent for an undisclosed sum June 23.
In May, a booby-trapped artillery shell apparently filled with the sarin nerve agent exploded alongside a Baghdad road but caused no serious injuries to the U.S. forces who discovered it. At the time, officials stopped short of claiming the munition was definite evidence of a large weapons stockpile in prewar Iraq or evidence of recent production by Saddam's regime.
The warheads all contained cyclosarin, multinational force commander Polish Gen. Mieczyslaw Bieniek said.
"Laboratory tests showed the presence in them of cyclosarin, a very toxic gas, five times stronger than sarin and five times more durable," Bieniek told Poland's TVN24 at the force's Camp Babylon headquarters.
"If these warheads, which were still usable, were used on a military base like Camp Babylon, they would have caused unforeseeable damage."
The tests were done by U.S. experts, who were conducting more.
The munitions were found in a bunker in the Polish sector, but Polish officials refused to be more specific.

Nigeria-France: Minister Franck Riester visits to consolidate trade relations
April 15, 2021 Khalid Al Mouahidi News 0
Franck Riester, France's Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade and Investment Attractiveness, was in Nigeria from Monday 12 to Wednesday 14 April to prepare for the 18 May summit on the financing of African economies and the Africa-France summit in Montpellier, scheduled for July. After having exchanged in Abuja with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the Nigerian Governors Forum, he went to Lagos on Wednesday, where he met with several big bosses, members of the Franco-Nigerian investment club launched in July 2019 by Emmanuel Macron.
Nigeria remains France's leading trading partner in sub-Saharan Africa and fourth on the continent. And this even if this trade has declined due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade, Franck Riester, visiting the country:
"We were at a cruising speed between 4 and 5 billion dollars of trade. We have fallen to 2.3 billion dollars in 2020. I am very optimistic for 2021 and 2022. In any case, we will mobilize for it. That's why I'm here, too. "
Peugeot's imminent resurrection in Nigeria
Oil imports constitute the bulk of trade between the two countries. In September, Franck Riester accompanied the signing of a partnership between the French group Axens and the Nigerian BUA for the construction of a refinery in Akwa Ibom. "This refinery could open in three or four years. Nigeria continues to import almost all the refined oil it consumes. Nigeria alone represents a huge market in this sector," said BUA Group Chairman Abdul Samad Rabiu.
In Lagos, the French delegation also visited Aliko Dangote, the richest man in Africa. "We have an agreement to revive Peugeot in Nigeria. And we hope to start car production in Kaduna at least in June or July," he said.
Franck Riester insisted on the need for a sustainable and reciprocal Franco-Nigerian partnership, in all sectors of the economy.

Motegi Preview
By: Tony Donohue
Twin Ring Motegi is where you can find the Indy Car Series this weekend. The 1.5 mile oval lies in the middle of the road course on the grounds that are owned by Honda. Moto GP runs the road course that connects into the oval. Motegi is a town in the Haga District, Tochigi, Japan. Its population of 16,500 live in a small area of 107.3 square miles.
The Indy Car Series has been taking this annual trip across the pond to Japan since 2003. That year, Scott Sharp took the win. Up until this year, the race was ran in April, gearing up for the Indy 500. This year, Motegi gears us for the championship finale in Miami. Some of the series top stars have taken the checkered flag at Motegi. Dan Wheldon, Danica Patrick and Tony Kanaan have all won there. Danica last year stole the show, winning her first Indy Car race by rolling the dice on fuel strategy. The 300 mile event will play huge in the championship implications.
With two races left, Ryan Briscoe leads the points over Dario Franchitti by 25 points. Scott Dixon sits third in the standings, thirty three points back. Ryan Briscoe is the hottest driver in the series right now. He won last time out at Chicagoland, over the past seven races, Ryans lowest finish is 4th. This includes victories at Kentucky and Chicagoland, and second place finishes at Watkins Glen, Toronto, Infineon and Mid-Ohio. The fourth place finished came at Edmonton. He has finished every race and 12 out of the 15 finishes where in the Top 5.
The Target boys look to mount a charge in the points this weekend to set up a shootout at Homestead next month. Out of the four red cars, well, three red cars and Dario's yellow Life Lock livery, I will take Dario Franchitti to take the checkers, which will set up a one race shootout for the title. My darkhorse's are Hideki Mutoh and Mario Moraes. Moraes has been rolling of late, finishing third at Chicagoland and looks to make it three straight top fives. Additions to the grid this weekend are Roger Yasukawa for Dreyer and Reinbold Racing, Kosuke Matsuura with Conquest Racing, and Stanton Barrett will pilot the 98 for Team 3G this weekend. You can catch a recorded version of qualifying at 6:00 and the race live Friday at 10:30 est. on VERSUS.


In our endeavor to host happy holidaymakers in Cape Town Nandi compiled this check-list for Cape Town short term accommodation owners. Below you'll find and example guest info sheet and then a check list.
Here is an example Guest Info Sheet. Copy and then edit it for your guests.


First and foremost of all, pay attention to what you are thinking of. Our mind is regarded as very turbulent as the mouth or body has no option but to follow whatever the mind processes about. It is due to such reasons that we can source the negativity to our thought processing in minds. Regardless of how turbulent and unsure our thought patterns and mindsets are, we can for a fact tame and control our mind, instead of letting the mind control us. Simple practices such as integrating or swapping a negative thought with a positive one can do wonders. As stated in 2 Corinthians 10:5, it may take significant effort and time to integrate such process in our minds, however with progress, eventually, the number of positive thoughts will overcome the number of negative thoughts present in mind.
The second step involves obstructing and hindering external negative forces such as from other people, influencing you. If you truly do desire to inculcate a positive change from your negative aspects, then it is imperative you distance and cut off from harmful elements and people who do nothing but spread negativity. Moreover, hanging around such people and elements will impact you for the worst and lose sight of your end goal.
The third step involves formulating a list of all the areas in your life you wish to change. Tend to evaluate your life, and list down all the aspects you want to improve, change and erase. Regardless of the length of the list, make sure to work and take necessary steps to change and enhance each aspect listed down. If you have trouble listing down your negatives, ask your family as they know you better than anyone else.
The fourth step involves integrating self-positive and motivational quotes in your life. Simple measures such as immediately reading aloud positive and motivational quotes after waking up or when feeling down can positively boost and impact you to face everyday life with a better mindset. You will tend to feel more positive and confident about yourself. Moreover, you are affirming the positivity in your life.
The final step involves seeking help to change from the Almighty. Understand the fact that you cannot change all of a sudden by yourself; you will need faith and support from the Lord Almighty to help you guide and see your change through. Make time to pray and spend time with God. Do your part, and God will take care of the rest.


This project will construct approximately 280,000 gross square feet of space for the new Athletics South Competition and Performance Project to become the future home for men's and women's track and field, cross country, lacrosse, soccer, and women's rowing. The project will include an indoor and outdoor track competition venue for 2,000 and 500 spectators respectively. In addition, a lacrosse stadium will be built on the site that will accommodate 2,000 spectators. A consolidated performance team center is more cost-effective to provide specialized team spaces and shared resources for strength and conditioning, athletic medicine, a performance lab, meeting space and locker rooms. When completed, the development will allow hosting of home, regional, and national competitions, and use by students participating in recreational sports.

President Obama ends federal solitary confinement for juveniles.
Saul Loeb/Getty Images
In the first paragraphs of his Monday op-ed in The Washington Post declaring his intention to adopt new Department of Justice recommendations on solitary confinement, President Obama brought Kalief Browder's name into the light. Two New Yorker reports—one in 2014 about Browder's case and another last June about his suicide at the age of 22—first introduced many to the Bronx boy sent to Rikers at 16 for allegedly stealing a backpack. He spent more than 1,000 days there without trial that forever changed him, leading to his suicide less than two years after his release. Solitary confinement, the president wrote, is "increasingly overused on people such as Kalief, with heartbreaking results."
Noting the devastating psychological impact of solitary confinement and the ideal that inmates be set up to become productive in society upon release, the president announced new executive actions banning solitary confinement for juveniles, expanding treatment for the mentally ill, and increasing the amount of time inmates in solitary can spend outside of their cells. Per the Post, the new rules also dictate that the maximum time that a prisoner can be punished with solitary confinement for a first offense is 60 days. The current limit is 365 days.
Obama also renewed calls for comprehensive criminal justice reform, which seems unlikely even with some Republicans advocating for similar measures. But the president's action here just might help save the next Kalief. At the very least, he's made those kids more visible.

A Chess Piece
The musical Chess recently completed its run here in Toronto, and I just finished reading The Eight by Katherine Neville. The latter is a fascinating romp of a novel featuring a mystical chess set and a tapestry of historical characters scouring the world for it. Not least among them is the opera composer Francois-Andre Danican Philidor, who caught my attention especially because NEXUS and timpanist David Kent performed Marche de Timbales at a concert last Spring. Marche de Timbales was written by Francois-Andre's father Andre (Philidor the Elder) and uncle Jacques (Philidor the Younger). Neville places pivotal scenes not only at the Paris premiere of Philidor's opera Tom Jones, but also at the London soiree where he (a Grand Master) played one of his famous blind-folded chess matches.
From there, I found myself musing upon John Cage's work Chess Pieces. NEXUS has performed this piece several times. It's story is interesting. In 1944-45, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst and Surrealist dealer Julien Levy invited artists to reinvent and comment upon the classic chess set. As well as Cage, other participants were French surrealist painter Yves Tanguy, the poet André Breton, American painter Robert Motherwell, and Abstract Expressionist Arshile Gorky. The exhibition, called The Image of Chess, took place in New York City at Levy's gallery.
Cage created his submission as a composition painted in ink and gouache on a 19 x 19 inch piece of masonite, set out like a chess-board. Each of the 64 squares are filled with music written in Cage's hand. Robin Engelman prepared the program note for NEXUS' rendition of the piece and explains that the work's
"22 systems read from left to right as do Cage's prepared piano scores from the same period. No documentation exists of this music ever having been played, nor are instrumentation, tempi or dynamics indicated."
Ed Nixon recently posted on his "Musicians" page on Facebook a link to an article at NPR about music such as Chess Pieces that is "music to be seen as well as heard". You can check it out here. NPR also has a full Cage archive that you can access from the same page.
When the Levy Gallery exhibition closed, a private collector purchased Chess Pieces. Over time, the work was considered lost, or at least largely overlooked by Cage scholars. In 2005/2006 the Noguchi Museum in New York City presented The Image of Chess Revisited and pianist Margaret Leng Tan transcribed the music and recorded it to be played during the exhibition. At NEXUS' request, percussionist Brian Nozny transcribed and arranged Tan's piano transcription for percussion quintet.
Duchamp introduced Cage to the game of chess, and they played often. In fact, Cage wrote another chess piece in 1968 called Reunion, performed by Cage and Duchamp at Ryerson Polytechnic here in Toronto a few month's before Duchamp's death. Lowell Cross constructed a chess board equipped with photoreceptors that served as a gating mechanism to transmit or cut off sound produced by other musicians and to control lights. John Cage and Marcel Duchamp played the game that created aleatoric music – a lovely word that comes from a root meaning "dice" (another game!). Elements in aleatoric music are left to Chance. The other participants in the 1968 Ryerson event included Teeny Duchamp, David Tudor, Gordon Mumma, and David Behrman. Shigeko Kubota's 1970 book Marcel Duchamp and John Cage contains photographs and a recording of this performance.
Some of the above information comes from NEXUS performed The Rite of Spring in an unusual arrangement for percussion and two pianos with the piano duo 2X10 last season.
So, chess lends itself to music – and musical terms are used in Chess. The Oxford Companion to Chess cites the chess terms "composer" (one who creates chess puzzles) and "transposition" (two different sequences of moves that lead from one given position to another), as well as notation, score, tempo, theme and variation, minimal composition, major and minor, and phase and echo!
And I think that brings us to a Closed Position.
(A position without any open or semi-open files).
Check, mate.

Ricketts said the move makes sense because of values held by Nebraska voters.
"Nebraska is a pro-life state, and the state's budget should reflect those values," the governor said.
The proposal takes advantage of action taken by Congress last year that gives states more leeway in determining distribution of Title X funds, federal money earmarked for family planning and related health services, including contraception.
Title X funds have been banned by the federal government from use for abortion services, but the ban often is not enforced at the state level. Ricketts' budget proposal would require clinics that provide abortions either to physically and financially separate abortion clinics from their other services, or refuse Title X funding.
The proposal could impact Planned Parenthood clinics in Lincoln and Omaha that provide abortions and any other independent clinics that provide abortion services.
Ricketts proposed separating Title X funding from abortions in last year's budget, but the measure was dropped before being debated by the full Legislature.

Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) span a highly pleiotropic class of bacterial second messenger molecules. Their cellular levels are subject to tight regulation by synthesis and breakdown. By binding to their cognate effector proteins or riboswitch RNA, CDNs regulate numerous phenotypic features such as mobility, sessility, biofilm formation and virulence. In addition to a bacterial origin, recent findings suggested CDNs to be synthesized by metazoans metazoan cells, preparing the ground for an upcoming and exciting field of research.

In this talk we report on three case studies of real-world projects—two industrial and one open-source—where we attempted to measure the consequences of various architectural approaches to security.
While software security is an increasing concern for software and system architects, few architects approach this quality concern strategically. Architects and developers primarily focus on functionality, and security is often applied as a band-aid solution after an application has been developed. In the second talk we report on three case studies of real-world projects—two industrial and one open-source—where we attempted to measure the consequences of various architectural approaches to security. The results of our case studies indicate that a strategic, system-wide, architectural approach to security, implemented as a security framework, results in the best outcome from both security and maintenance cost perspectives.

News: 6 March 2019Our schemes feature in London Tall Buildings Survey 2019
A number of our schemes have featured in New London Architecture's London Tall Buildings Survey 2019; including; Abbey Place in Abbey Wood, Royal Borough of Greenwich.
The 245 build-to-rent apartment scheme, being developed by Hub Residential, is made up of both a 21-storey and 12-storey building adjacent to Abbey Wood's new Elizabeth Line train station. It was granted planning permission with support from our team in September 2018.
Seen by the Royal Borough of Greenwich as a landmark building to kick-start regeneration in the area, the scheme also features 10% affordable housing provision in the form of discounted market rent units along with 8,000 sq ft mixed-use space on the ground floor.
A further 22,000 sq ft of public amenity space forms part the development, creating a lively street frontage and contribution to the communal landscape of Felixstowe Road. It also provides a much-enhanced landscaped street level environment that extends beyond the 'red line' to the new station concourse. This creates an inviting new south facing area of public realm connecting the Abbey Place with the foreground of the station.
Abbey Place was among a total of 100 buildings featured in New London Architecture's Tall Building Survey. The report provides the only comprehensive analysis of all tall buildings, over 20 storeys, proposed, in planning or under construction in London.
Planning Director Dan Osborne said: "The Abbey Place mixed-use development reaching up to 21-storeys in height sets a benchmark for future development in this part of the Borough with mixture of residential, commercial and public space. It also helps to create value and investment, in tandem with the improved transport links with the building of the Elizabeth Line."
We provided Planning, Landscape Planning, Development Economics and Environmental Planning services to the scheme.
As well as the Abbey Place, work undertaken by our Landscape Architect team also forms part of the report. The Atlas Building in Hackney is a striking 38-storey residential tower with 302 apartments and residential amenities, including leisure and spa facilities.
The Atlas Building connects positively with the street at a human scale with one-storey retail units popping out to engage with the public realm and its context. The base of the tower integrates with the new public space that was previously inaccessible connecting Provost Street and East Road.

Allan Kaprow (b. 1927, Atlantic City, New Jersey - d. 2006, Encinitas, California) was a performance artist, educator, and theoretician known for coining the term "Happening," a non-verbal, theatrical production that abandons stage-audience structure as well as the usual plot or narrative line of traditional theatre. Kaprow received a BA in philosophy and art history from New York University and an MA in art history from Columbia University, where he studied with Meyer Schapiro, and studied painting at the Hans Hoffman School of Fine Arts. He later enrolled in a class on music composition with John Cage at the New School for Social Research, where he met artists such as Dick Higgins and George Brecht.
In addition to organizing the earliest Happenings (first in October 1959 in New York) in the early 1960s, Kaprow participated in major group exhibitions including Happening and Fluxus (curated by Harald Szeemann) at the Neuer Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne (1970); Documenta, Kassel (1978, 1987); Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1984, 1999); the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York (1986); the traveling exhibition In the Spirit of Fluxus, organized by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (1993-1994); Venice Biennale (1993); the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (2001, 2006, 2011); the São Paulo Biennale (2012). A retrospective of Kaprow's work was organized by the Haus der Kunst, Munich, and the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, and traveled other locations in Europe and to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2008). Kaprow received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1974 and 1979 and a John Simon Guggenheim fellowship in 1979. Among his many publications are Assemblage, Environments, and Happenings (1966) and Essays on the Blurring of Art and Life (1993). Kaprow was also an influential educator; he taught at Rutgers University, which was an important site for several Fluxus happenings, until 1961; Pratt Institute; the State University of New York at Stony Brook; California Institute of the Arts; and University of California, San Diego.

Why US is Backing My Candidature – Atiku
Abel Ogwu
Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says the United States is in support of his presidential bid.
Atiku, who visited the country for the first time in 13 years, said this in an interview with VOA.
The interviewer had asked: "Are you convinced that the United States government is in support of your candidacy?"
"Yes," he responded.
Asked to explain further, Atiku said: "There is no doubt because the United States is ready to support any country that is practicing democracy."
He dismissed the reports that the US refused to grant him visa for over 10 years because he was linked to a corruption case.
"The whole thing is about misinformation… for a very long time they, have been lying to them (Nigerians); I tried to explain to them but they refused to listen. And I hope now people are going to understand."
He said he visited the US because they decided to issue him a visa, adding that he would not have made it if they had declined his visa request.
"And now they have issued it to me and I am here. I'm having some positive discussions with some of the officials," he said.
"I was in the Congress and I had discussions with some high ranking Congress men and Women about Nigeria and how Nigeria intends to improve her relationship with the United States of America."
