Moscow Urban Forum: A New Frontier
(Photo by The Telegraph)
The Moscow municipal government provides an annual platform for international discussion of urban challenges and innovation.
When nations do not agree, cities lead the way. Although recent policy strategy of the Russian government has not focused on cultivating cross-national alliances, the Moscow Urban Forum (MUF), organized by the Moscow city government, aims to do just that while tackling exigent problems of the world's cities. Since its inception in 2011, the forum has grown from a platform for highlighting and addressing Moscow's own urban challenges into an idea-sharing space for policymakers, academics, start-ups, urban planners, designers, architects, and civil society groups from across the globe. Last year's forum hosted delegations from 68 countries.
Moscow Urban Forum takes place every year and includes the forum itself, the MUF Festival, and a Community Awards Ceremony. The MUF itself spans the two full days of programming. Within it, eight to ten global cities organise individual pavilions pertaining to their own, local design strategies, policies, projects, and challenges. The forum also presents opportunities for more explicit cross-cultural and multi-sectoral collaboration in forum-wide sessions.
MUF Festival begins two days prior to the forum with the objective of engaging the local public and MUF attendees in interactive city planning initiatives. Participants immerse themselves in digital planning tools, take part in data collection and mapping exercises, test out new cycling gear, and tour Moscow neighbourhoods. With inclusivity as one of its main objectives, MUF Festival aims to introduce tools and opportunities that enable people of all ages and cultural backgrounds to actively shape the future of their communities. The forum concludes with the Community Awards Ceremony, which honours some of the best urban projects and practices from around the world over the previous year. Currently, there are 8 sectors: Entertainment and Leisure, Education and Science, Sport and Fitness, Urban Tech, Public Good, Urban Media, Art and Culture, and Urban Design.
"With inclusivity as one of its main objectives, MUF Festival aims to introduce tools and opportunities that enable people of all ages and cultural backgrounds to actively shape the future of their communities."
Each year, an array of internationally-recognized panellists develops a theme for the MUF. Past years focused on urban agglomerations, sustainable periphery development, shaping of post-industrial cities, drivers of development, megapolis, amongst others. Previous panellists have included Enrique Penalosa, former mayor of Bogota, Colombia (one of the first cities to introduce Bus Rapid Transit into its transit infrastructural framework), Vicante Guallarte, Chief Architect of Barcelona (2011-2015), and Yasushi Aoyama, former governor of Tokyo.
In light of the upcoming FIFA World Cup, which will take place in a number of Russian cities in the summer of 2018, this year's MUF aims to address looming challenges of new infrastructural developments. The theme will be "Sports Megaprojects as a Trigger for Urban Renewal." Discussion will partly focus on how to best integrate Russia's newly-added infrastructure sustainably within the country's major urban frameworks. Local and international experts will address project scaling, lessons learnt from previous major sporting events, and visions for the future of urban agglomerations.

Regina's musicality thrills new RSO concertmaster
"Regina has a really amazing reputation as a musical city in classical music circles."

Christian Robinson believes Regina is an "extraordinary" city for classical music and he's "thrilled" to be part of contributing to the city's legacy, in the role of concertmaster for the Regina Symphony Orchestra (RSO).
"Regina has a really amazing reputation as a musical city in classical music circles," Robinson said in a recent interview. "The orchestra is the longest continually operating orchestra in the country, and there have been successive waves of amazing classical musicians that have come from Regina. This city should really take pride in what the RSO is doing."
The path that led Robinson to Regina began years ago, when he first picked up the violin at just three years of age. Growing up in Pickering, Ont., Robinson, now 40, described himself as "not exactly the model violin student" — with his reluctance stemming from a hatred of practising. But that changed in his teenage years.
"I started playing more interesting music and just fell in love with the art form, with these great masterpieces I was starting to come into contact with," he said. "It just seemed like there was this really limitless world to explore in terms of the music itself."

By his later high school years, Robinson had moved to Whitby, Ont., and knew he wanted to spend his life pursuing classical music. He had inspiring teachers both in high school and later when studying at the University of Toronto, where he completed his Bachelor of Music (Violin Performance) in 2002.
His love for chamber music, in particular, "exploded" during his time at university. The next stop on his journey was Sudbury, Ont., where he founded the Silver Birch String Quartet (SBSQ) in 2004, while he was also working with local orchestras and teaching students in private lessons.
The SBSQ received a lot of acclaim — including a Juno nomination in 2010 — and was busy with recording, touring and events. Being on the road for long stretches of time eventually became a challenge for members of the ensemble, and led to Robinson considering the next chapter for himself — which would turn out to be Regina.
"Regina made a big impression on me, and it was always really intriguing," he said, noting visits he had made were positive and musicians he had worked with — such as former RSO maestro Victor Sawa and current principal cellist Simon Fryer — spoke highly of the city.
"When the time came that it looked like I needed to make a change from my life in Sudbury, there was a principal second violin position open here," Robinson continued. "Regina seemed like this perfect blend of really wonderful colleagues, a great city and a nice mix in the job of things that I find really interesting — the variety of work that happens here, that's the thing that really drew me."
Current RSO music director Gordon Gerrard was also a factor — he had just taken on the position, and in 2016 spent a week in Sudbury working with the orchestra there.
"Gordon really sealed the idea for me that Regina and the RSO really has a lot going for it, and it seemed like it was entering a really exciting time and was something that I would love to be a part of," Robinson said.

After his first year, the concertmaster position opened, and Robinson was appointed interim concertmaster while a search took place via a year-long series of trials where short-listed candidates performed with the RSO.
"I felt really humbled to even be included in the search and then to actually win the job, I was just ecstatic," Robinson said. "It was a real highlight of my career, I have to say. I feel really lucky with what we're getting to do here in Regina. It's a pleasure to go to work every day with my amazing colleagues."
In addition to his role as concertmaster, Robinson is also busy with the Regina Symphony Chamber Players (RSCP), a group of 12 of the RSO's principal musicians. Their activities include visiting schools and presenting a concert series at Government House.
That role is a "hugely fulfilling" part of the job, especially considering his particular passion for chamber music going back many years, Robinson said. The first violin has an unofficial leadership role within chamber music, which dates to the history of the concept of concertmaster in the 17th and 18th centuries, he explained. However, the RSCP operates democratically and makes decisions collectively, Robinson noted.
"We're able to explore this amazing wealth of music that's written for smaller ensembles," he added about the RSCP and his role there in addition to the main orchestra. "It really is the complete package from a job perspective."
He is also actively involved in other aspects of music in the community, including as co-director of the Regina Summer Strings.
"We're all very aware that we're stewards of this legacy and we'll keep putting everything we can into it and keep moving it forward," Robinson said. "I think the RSO is engaged in all the right conversations about what it means to be an orchestra in the 21st century."

One of those questions is what motivates people to go out and take in events like concerts, in a day and age when they have so many entertainment options easily accessible at home and on their phones, Robinson said.
"The experience of seeing something live and witnessing this amazing creation happening right in front of your eyes, that's something a video can't reproduce," he said. "There's an amazing energy and dynamic — all of these things feed into creating this really memorable experience, and I think my colleagues and I are of one mind in committing that we want to deliver the best of that experience to the audience."
Robinson believes Regina residents have "an incredible sense of pride" for their orchestra, which strives to offer "something for everyone" with its wide variety of different shows.
"We're all standing on the shoulders of people who have this deep and amazing history in this city that we are the stewards of, and our hope is to leave things in better shape than when we got them and move things forward so that when it's time for us to step back, there'll be this unbroken lineage of artistic excellence that the city will have," he said. "I think we all feel that amazing responsibility."
Robinson is also a big fan of Regina on a personal level, having settled in the Cathedral neighbourhood with wife Julie, seven-year-old son Linden and their Labradoodle named Cosmo. His mom, Colleen, has also moved to Regina.
"The family loves Regina," he said. "It's a great place for us to be and we're just feeling very happy here. There's a really great vibe to the neighbourhood and we just feel this wonderful sense of community around us. Looking at all the cities of sort of similar size that I've visited, I've just never felt so welcomed as I have in Regina. The people are absolutely wonderful."

RSO principal trumpet Miles Newman, who has been with the orchestra since 1991 and worked with about half a dozen concertmasters over that time, said he believes Robinson has the right set of qualities for the role.
"He is very skilled and he has a great energy," Newman said. "The position needs someone who is an ambassador for the orchestra. Concertmasters we've had in the past have had that skill and I think Christian fits into that mold very well and is a likeable guy."
Music director Gordon Gerrard also spoke highly of Robinson and his fit for the roles of concertmaster and with the RSCP.
"Not only do you have to be a terrific player, but the concertmaster is a leader of the players and often acts as a go-between, between the conductor and the rest of the orchestra," Gerrard explained. "You have to understand how people work and the psychology of an orchestra and facilitate operations so that everybody does their best. Through the search that we did, we all felt like Christian was the best fit."
According to Gerrard, "a lot rides on that position in terms of the health of an orchestra" and he considers the RSO fortunate to have Robinson in that leadership role.
"Everyone in the orchestra would agree that he cares about people in the orchestra," Gerrard said. "It's not just about getting the job done, it's about getting the job done in a way that makes people feel comfortable to do their best."
Gerrard and Robinson are also on the same page when it comes to re-examining the role of an orchestra within a community, the music director said.
"In 2019, I think the expectation that people will just flock to come and hear Beethoven and Mozart has changed," Gerrard said. "It's about how we change as an institution so we better reflect who is in our community and what they might want to hear, and what a particular piece of music might mean to them. The rule book is slowly being rewritten, and we're all trying to figure this out together."
The city is fortunate to have high-calibre musicians like Robinson who are passionate about revitalization and their role in the community, Gerrard continued.
"I think people don't realize they bring a lot to the community," he said. "Teaching when they're not playing with the orchestra, that helps to build the musical community of Regina. Playing in other groups outside the RSO, that enriches the cultural fabric of the community. The RSO supports these artists so that they can help build a richer life for all of us in southern Saskatchewan."

Millions of votes cast in Fonterra's nest cream cake competition
#Foodservice
A cake named "Mango Banquet" has taken out the title of Best Cream Cake in a competition in China that captivated online audiences, with more than 10 million votes being cast.
The second Anchor Food Professionals' annual Best Cream Cake competition invited consumers across China to vote for their favourite cake designed by bakeries that Fonterra sells its Anchor Food Professionals range to there.
The contest was launched in 2015 as a means of introducing people to the innovative cake products that Fonterra's customers sell. In 2016's competition, 346 bakery chains and 7,532 stores took part.
Only in its second year, the Best Cream Cake competition has already emerged as a major annual event on the bakery industry calendar in China, said Richard Allen, Vice President of Anchor Food Professionals China.
"This event has become iconic and few of our bakery customers want to miss out on the opportunity to showcase their creations," said Mr Allen. "No one has tried running an initiative like this in the past, so it is a good example of our ability to innovate in a largely fragmented industry.
"The bakeries that use our Anchor Food Professionals' natural dairy products go to great lengths to produce unique, creative and delicious goods and this competition helps recognise that work and bring in new shoppers."
The competition ran for 15 days, finishing in December. The winning cake – titled ''Mango Banquet' – was created by the South China-based ViewSunZizi bakery, receiving more than 620,000 votes. Second place was awarded to East China's Secret Recipe chain for its 'Chocolate Cream Brulee', which received more than 476,000 votes.
As well as generating a total of nearly 10.2 million votes, Fonterra's customers reported more than 125,000 direct sales worth an estimated value of RMB 22 million (NZD $4.53 million).
The campaign was run primarily through Dianping, a food app commonly referred to as China's equivalent of Yelp, with more than 200 million monthly active users nationwide. Of the 124 marketing campaigns running on the platform in November, Fonterra's initiative was the best performing campaign, attracting the most page views and the highest levels of participation.

Trophy Wife 1.22: "Mother's Day"
"They dumped the kids and Kate on me, and now my day is ruined."
The final episode of "Trophy Wife" was a fitting end to the series, for the most part. The Harrison clan is closer than ever, and it seems like Pete may finally get to do something more fulfilling with his life than his evil law firm job. The stars of this episode are really Diane, Jackie, and Kate, who over the course of the past season have become an odd sort of sisterhood. I thought this episode demonstrated that journey well. At first, Diane and Jackie try to use Kate's enthusiasm for parenthood as a way to get a Mother's Day vacation for themselves. By the end of the episode, they realized that was a bit of a dick move, and the whole Harrison clan has fun together. It was a sweet way to say goodbye to a show that, in a few years, I think we'll say ended too soon.
Early in the episode, Pete and Kate are in bed watching television and talking about the fact that Mother's Day is coming up. Kate's a little upset that the kids are going to be spending the day with Diane and Jackie, because she thinks she should be considered a mother now, too. Pete and Kate don't have much time to discuss this, though, because there is a breaking news report about an oil spill. The company responsible for the spill is a client of Pete's law firm, so he has to go to work. Hillary has seen the news report, too, and she begs Pete not to help the piece of crap company that is responsible for environmental destruction. Pete's got to do his job, though, so he heads to the office.
While Kate is trying to make a reservation for a Mother's Day brunch for one (is she wallowing, or what?), Diane, Jackie, and the kids come barging in. The kids are acting like they haven't purchased or made any Mother's Day presents, and Jackie and Diane say they want to give Kate the gift of having the kids this Mother's Day. Kate is overjoyed, because she's still enthusiastic about the step-parenting thing (and she thinks this means Diane and Jackie truly approve of her). She is on a mission to help the kids get good, creative presents for their moms. For Jackie, the present will be a chicken, and there's a funny bit where Kate consults Siri to find a chicken, and the phone thinks she's looking for Tevin instead. They do indeed get a chicken, and it's a regular presence in the rest of the episode. For Diane, they get all the stuff necessary to recreate a famous Flemish still life painting (including a skull…eww).
Meanwhile, at the office, Pete is named lead counsel for the oil spill case. Mostly because his boss doesn't want to deal with all the press himself. Pete is going to be the one who has to do interviews and look like a jerk for saying things like "oil is an organic substance." Pete isn't thrilled about this, but he doesn't really feel like he has a choice. There is an ample food spread available for the war room Pete has convened, and he takes complete advantage of it, stress eating like there's no tomorrow. Focusing on Pete's work so much was a bit of a departure from the "Trophy Wife" norm, but there were a ton of funny little jokes in this plotline if you pay attention, like a list on a white board of all the things they could maybe blame the oil spill on instead of their client, such as "tiny submarine."
Diane and Jackie actually pawned the kids off on Kate so that they could have a kid-free relaxing Mother's Day weekend at a swanky resort. The jig is up when Kate and the kids try to deliver their Mother's Day presents, and neither Diane nor Jackie are home. Kate drags the gang to Pete's office to find out if he knows where Jackie and Diane went. It's Bert who actually gets the information, though. He's a master manipulator, that one. He tells Sad Steve that he wants Sad Steve to be his father, and he needs to know where Jackie is so he can tell her. Sad Steve, who clearly has some issues, is so touched at Bert's acceptance of him that he gives up the location. There are a couple other funny bits in this scene, where Hillary acts like she's been taking care of everyone and Warren wants to be a lawyer when he sees Pete getting make-up put on for an interview.
Anyway, Kate takes the kids to the resort, where she has a big confrontation with Jackie and Diane by the pool (Jackie is enjoying a drink in a beach chair while Diane does laps). The fight escalates, and all three women end up in the pool while the kids delightedly squeal "Mom fight!" The party is over, though, when Kate gets a call that Pete is in the hospital after possibly having suffered a mild heart attack. Everyone rushes to the hospital, and there is a funny bit where Meg is the first person Pete sees when he opens his eyes. The doctor comes to talk to Pete, and it turns out that Pete didn't have a heart attack at all. He had severe indigestion from all the food he ate at the office. This leads to Pete and Kate later having a conversation about whether Pete should find a different job. Kate was thinking a "not evil" law firm. Pete is thinking about focusing on his legal erotica.
With Pete in the clear, medically, the whole family goes back to the resort for some fun. We get a montage of sorts of everyone enjoying the hotel room. It's fancy camera work of the sort that makes a statement that this is the finale. Pete and Kate drink champagne, Diane and Hillary play chess, Meg enjoys the mini bar, Warren and Bert start a pillow fight. We get the sense that the Harrison family adventures are really just beginning now that Diane and Jackie have truly accepted Kate into the fold.

Low-pressure hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) has been achieved using a trinuclear iridium hexahydride complex 1. Complex 1 is ligated with a light-absorbing diphosphine ligand to induce light-sensitizing ability. Under photoirradiation, 1 catalyzes CO2 hydrogenation under low-pressure conditions (H2 (5 atm) and CO2 (5 atm)) and at ambient temperature to yield the corresponding formate in high yield.


Molds cause crusty patches of creamy-white, gray or black grass.
2 What Can Be Sprayed on Mold That Will Not Kill Grass or Hurt Animals or Humans?
The appearance of mold in the middle of a healthy, green lawn can be disappointing, but don't worry: you should be able to get rid of it. The most common lawn molds are slime molds, which comprise several types of mold. While they are not commonly damaging to lawns, if they get thick enough, they can smother or shade out the grass blades they grow on. Chemical control is not warranted for lawn molds, which can usually be controlled with manual measures.
Rake your lawn to break down and flake the dried patches of mold off of the grass blades. Then wash the lawn down with a heavy stream of water to remove the coatings of mold.
Mow your lawn to break up the mold, and continue to mow during the growing season to reduce the chance that mold will reappear.
Reduce the thatch layer in your lawn because molds often incubate in it. Avoid using pesticides whenever possible because these restrict earthworm and microbe activity that helps break thatch down.
Use applications of lime to get lawn soil to an appropriate pH level -- which will vary depending on the grass type -- and when possible, don't allow lawns to go dormant.
Remove grass clippings and dispose of them away from the lawn area because they can encourage poor drainage and mold growth. Rake up fall leaves and other debris as well.
Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen in the fall. Stick to the recommended amounts of nitrogen for your area and grass type, and resist the temptation to add more to green up the lawn.

Although there's no doubt that Middle-earth: Shadow of War is one meaty video game with plenty of content for you to chew through, developer Monolith has announced that yet more content is coming to the game.
Actually, those who purchased the game's Expansion Pass will be getting quite a bit of DLC in the months to come. For starters, there's the Slaughter tribe DLC, which will be available in November for Expansion Pass owners. This adds a new vicious orc tribe to the game, and like its name suggests, these guys are fond of slicing and dicing their enemies in a brutal way, and will surely be worthy opponents for protagonist Talion and his allies in Mordor.
The Outlaw tribe DLC is also coming to Shadow of War a month later, in December. These guys are outcasts who shun both their orc kin and Sauron himself, but this does not make them any less dangerous than their counterparts from the Slaughter tribe as the trailer below makes clear. Both the Slaughter and Outlaw tribe DLCs add new missions to the game, legendary and epic orcs, and a new, specific fortress for each tribe. These guys will be fully integrated in the game's Nemesis system, meaning there will be plenty more gameplay possibilities in Shadow of War's open world for you to enjoy.
Most noteworthy, though, is that there will be two story expansions available for owners of the season pass to play through, which will flesh out Shadow of War's story. The first of this is the "Blade of Galadriel", in which you play the elven assassin Eltariel (aka the Blade of Galadriel), who's on a mission to take down the Nazgul (this story expansion is coming to the game in February 2018).
Playing as Eltariel, you will be able to chop enemies to pieces using her twin elven blades, as well as pound orcs to submission with her "Light of Galadriel" special power. This story expansion also adds 8 new legendary orcs to the main story campaign, ready to die by your sword (if you have what it takes to defeat these opponents, that is…).
Finally, there's another story DLC in the pipeline named the "Desolation of Mordor". Here you play as Baranor, battling a new orc threat from the east in the entirely new desert region of Lithlad. What's interesting about this story expansion (which will be released in May 2018) is that you lack Talion's wraith powers making survival in Mordor harder, but at least can count on your ally Torvin, the Dwarven Hunter, who will be able to craft combat gear for you including powerful new shields with which to counter those deadly orc blows.
So, Middle-earth: Shadow of War fans certainly have a lot to look forward to in the coming months, then, and those who get Shadow of War's Expansion Pass will get plenty more content to enjoy in Warner Bros.' latest Lord of the Rings game this year and the next.
Next: Is season 2 of Hitman still in the works?

Protect My Privacy's Terms & Conditions For Consumers
V0.1 Last Updated: 3rd March 2022
1       About Protect My Privacy
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your relationship with the Protect My Privacy service (the "Service") operated by Revoke Limited ("Protect My Privacy", "us", "we", or "our"), a company registered with the Jersey Financial Services Commission, Registration Number 124314.
These Terms tell you who we are, how we act on your behalf, and establish a contractual relationship between you and Protect My Privacy. You can read more about our Privacy Policy and our Security Policy to understand how we keep your personal data safe, and why you can trust us.  Unless otherwise defined, the terms used in these Terms have the same meanings as in our Privacy Policy.
By using the Service, you confirm that:
You are at least 18 years old
You accept these Terms
The Service is licensed, and not sold, to you, for use only under these Terms
You will use the Service only in accordance with these Terms and in compliance with any applicable law
Your account details will only contain accurate information, will solely hold information regarding yourself, and you will not represent or impersonate anyone other than yourself
You will keep your account details and contact information up to date
You will keep your password secure and confidential
You will only use Protect My Privacy to contact companies you believe may have your personal data as a result of any form of relationship you may have had with them
You will not send excessive requests to any organisation
No partnership, joint venture, employment or franchisee relationship with Protect My Privacy is intended or created by these Terms
If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you may not use the Service.
We reserve the right to change these Terms at our sole discretion, by posting an amended version on the Service. You can always view the latest version of these Terms in the main menu of the Service or on our website. All amended Terms automatically take effect from the date of posting, unless otherwise stated.
Your continued use of the Service will constitute your acceptance of the amended Terms.
2       How Protect My Privacy Works
Protect My Privacy makes it easy for you to exercise your data protection rights. Protect My Privacy communicates with organisations on your behalf in order that your wishes can be executed efficiently. We also carry out a dark web search for your personal data that may have been hacked or otherwise exposed.
The information available on the Service is made available for general information purposes only and should not be construed as or relied upon as legal advice, whether in relation to your data protection rights or otherwise. For legal advice, please speak to a qualified legal practitioner.
For efficient execution of your requests and to act on your behalf, it is necessary for Protect My Privacy to identify you by using a government-issued photo ID document (Passport, Driving Licence or Nationally issued ID). This information is encrypted in a way that only permits the designated recipient of the information to view it. Our Security Policy includes further details on our approach to encryption (we use the most advanced levels of elliptic curve encryption, more secure than typical secure online services such as banking, and equivalent to military-grade encryption).
After we have identified you, we can communicate with organisations on your behalf to ensure that your rights are respected and requests relating to your data are executed. We will communicate with you periodically to keep you informed of the progress of any requests you may have made.
Personal Data Access Requests
At your request we may make a personal data access request on your behalf. You can make up to 10 requests a week on an Essential Subscription, 25 requests a week on a Plus subscription and 50 requests a week on a Premium subscription with these amounts resetting every Monday.
We are not able to guarantee whether or how an organisation will respond to your request. However, we will endeavour to follow-up with an organisation regarding any outstanding request, and you may choose to submit a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority if you are unhappy with their response.
Any personal data retrieved from organisations is encrypted in such a way that only you can access it. Protect My Privacy is unable to access this data; the decryption key is stored on your phone.
Dark Web Search
We carry out a dark web search to check whether your personal data has been the subject of a breach, hacked, stolen, or inadvertently made public. We summarise the results of the search for you, and once we have verified your email address and identity we share with you the data that we have found to have been compromised. If those companies with whom you've been involved in a breach are in our database, we will automatically populate your companies list so that you can send requests to them if you desire.
If your personal data has been compromised, you can choose to follow up on it by either (i) upgrading to Protect My Privacy Premium in order to get help from our partner organisation Cyberscout/Sontiq, which specialises in personal cybersecurity advice; or (ii) nonlegal advice in the process for registering your interest in making a legal claim or commencing other proceedings to the extent they may be available under applicable law. Services offered by Cyberscout/Sontiq are governed by their separate terms of use and privacy policy. In the event that you register your interest in making a legal claim or bringing other legal proceedings as a result of a breach of your data rights, we will inform you of the options available at that time based on your circumstances.
Privacy Checks
We allow you to link your online accounts to see which companies have access to your personal data as well as provide security and privacy setting recommendations so you may better protect yourself when using them. We do not store any personal data except for the list of companies with access to your accounts so that we can populate a custom list of companies for you to send requests to. Any companies we do not have in our database are noted for us to add which you'll be notified about when added after which they will automatically appear in your list.
Mailbox Search
We offer this service to our customers so that you can link your email accounts with Protect My Privacy and authorise us to search for companies who are sending you marketing communications. We only look at the to/from header details of your email communication, not the text or body of your email correspondence. We only look for domain names we recognise as belonging to a company in order to populate a custom list of companies for you to send requests to. Any companies we do not have in our database are noted for us to add them to our database which you'll be notified about when added after which they will automatically appear in your list.
3       Authorisation
By accepting these Terms, you are giving Protect My Privacy permission to act on your behalf as described in these Terms ("Authorisation"). This Authorisation is replicated in a standard form letter sent to companies when communicating on your behalf.
Protect My Privacy will only act on your behalf to exercise your data protection and cybersecurity rights, and only when requested by you.
When you indicate that you would like to exercise your data protection rights with a particular organisation, regulatory body, court, authority or other entity, Protect My Privacy will communicate with that entity on your behalf. Examples of communication include (but are not limited to) the following:
Sending an Authorisation confirming that Protect My Privacy acts on your behalf to exercise your data protection rights
Specifying your marketing communication preferences
Requesting data from organisations
Requesting that organisations delete your data
Following up on any breach of your personal data or data protection rights
We will never request on your behalf for data to be deleted without giving you an opportunity to check what data will be deleted.
To facilitate the cleaning up of your digital estate, and to avoid contacting organizations on your behalf with whom you would have had no previous relationship, Protect My Privacy helps you identify companies that hold your personal data. We do this through our Dark Web Search, Privacy Checks, and Mailbox Search features. We never contact a company on your behalf without your explicit permission.
4       Security
Protect My Privacy is secure by design.
All personal data is encrypted at rest and in transit, at the message and transport layer.
Protect My Privacy uses advanced Elliptic Curve encryption methods to ensure that even we can't access personal data which is sent to you by companies after we have made an access request on your behalf.
Only you can access this data, using the private key stored on your phone.
Personal data you have provided for the purposes of communicating effectively with companies and exercising your data protection rights is only unencrypted to share with the intended recipient of your request. This data is protected by a one-time password that the recipient must enter, confirming they are the intended recipient of your request.
You can read more about our approach to security in our Security Policy.
5       Privacy
Protect My Privacy cares deeply about data protection and your rights; transparency and privacy are core to Protect My Privacy's ethos.
You can find out more about Protect My Privacy's stance on privacy in our Privacy Policy.
6       Payment
Premium services are offered via in-app purchases and subscriptions via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store from which you originally downloaded the application.
Purchases and subscriptions are non-refundable.
7       Your Use of the Service
You agree that you will be solely responsible for any and all activity in relation to your use of the Service.
You must not access, collect or use information from the Service, proprietary or otherwise, without our express prior written consent, or other than as outlined in these Terms.
By accepting these Terms, you agree that you will not modify, rent, lease, loan, sell distribute, create derivative works of, decompile, reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code from the Service, unless in accordance with our express prior written consent. You shall not exploit the Service in any unauthorised way whatsoever, including but not limited to by trespass or burdening network capacity.
You may be able to access other websites from within the Service. However, these Terms do not apply to your web activity outside the Service.
To the extent that use of the Service requires the use of any third-party terms of agreement, you must comply with such terms.
You agree that from time to time, the software may download and install updates and/or any other additional features to improve the Service.
8       Warranties and Representations
To the fullest extent permissible by law, the Service is provided on an "as is", "as available" and "with all faults" basis, without any express or implied warranties, representations or endorsements as to (i) the Service; (ii) the content on or in relation to the Service, our users or third parties; and (iii) security associated with the transmission of information through the Service.
We do not guarantee that our Service will always be safe, secure and/or error free, or that our Service will always function without disruption or delays.
9       Limitation of Liability
Except where prohibited by law, we shall not be liable to you for any loss or damage of any kind, including, but not limited to, any direct, indirect, economic, exemplary, punitive, special, incidental or consequential losses or damage that are directly or indirectly related to:

Crews Add Passing Lanes to Colorado's U.S. 64
Wed May 25, 2016 - West Edition
Chuck Harvey
Tezak Heavy Equipment photo The project includes rock excavation and hauling, minor blasting operations, pavement reconstruction, earthwork, signing and striping.
Work is underway on a $7.9 million Colorado Department of Transportation project to construct two eastbound passing lanes on U.S. 24, east of Johnson Village in Chaffee County, Colo.
Tezak Heavy Equipment Inc. of Canon City, Colo., is contractor. The company made the successful low bid of $6.6 million for contracting duties.
Project foreman is Kevin Horst. Superintendents are Aurion Dransfield and Jim Bunker of Tezak Heavy Equipment Co. Inc.
Mario J. Jimenez is project manager for Tezak Heavy Equipment and John Hixon of Bechtolt Engineering in Durango, Colo., is consulting project engineer for Colorado Department of Transportation.
Safety is a major feature of the project that adds separate uphill passing zones between mile point 217.5 to 218.5 and 221.7 to 222.64. The project includes rock excavation and hauling, minor blasting operations, pavement reconstruction, earthwork, signing and striping.
Work started in July 2015 and is scheduled for completion in September of this year. That's barring any adverse weather or construction delays.
Work was set to resume April 25 after it shut down for winter break on March 7.
"Once construction resumes, we will complete remaining rock and unclassified excavation and will commence with the major road widening," said Adele Swift, Tezak Heavy Equipment project coordinator.
Swift said that as of March, the project was about 60 percent complete. "The rock excavation is 100 percent complete, but there will be some additional rock excavation to complete the CDOT's request," she said.
The added lanes will provide safer passing opportunities.
Motorists' site distance also will be improved.
Roadway Is All Asphalt
The project requires 11,253 tons (10,208.5 t) of asphalt for the passing lanes. Crews also will lay 532 cu. yds. (406.7 cu m) of concrete for a concrete box culvert extension.
Tezak Heavy Equipment was ready to move heavy equipment on site including multiple excavators, loaders, graders, highway haul trucks and miscellaneous support equipment.
"Our wire mesh installation subcontractor will have a crane on site to drill the anchors for the wire mesh," Swift said. "Once asphalt paving commences, our paving subcontractor will have a large paving crew on site with multiple rollers, asphalt paver and multiple haul trucks on site as well."
Subcontractors for the project include A & S Construction of Thornton, Colo.; Advanced Shoring and Underpinning of Lehi, Utah; Baerren Concrete Construction of Littleton, Colo.; Hutton Concrete Cutting of Pueblo, Colo.; Montano Concrete of Pueblo, Colo.; and Trax Construction of Colorado Springs, Colo. A total of 16 subcontractors will have been used by the time the project concludes.
Tezak Heavy Equipment will have about 14 workers on the job each day. Subcontractors will range from five to 15 workers daily.
U.S. 24 Is a Major Thoroughfare
U.S. Route 24 is a major east-west route in Colorado. It traverses the Rocky Mountains, starting near Minturn. It then continues east for about 30 mi. (48.3 km) to Leadville where it turns south and goes to Buena Vista where it becomes concurrent with U.S. 285.
The route was originally built in 1936.
Travel Impacts
The Colorado Department of Transportation reports that travelers will be subject to some single-lane travel from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Reports on lane closures can be found at www.codot.gov/travel/scheduled-lane-closures.html.
Speed limit will be reduced to 40 mph through the construction zone.
No night or weekend work is currently scheduled for the project.
Project Challenges
"The biggest challenge we had on the project was rock excavation-blasting," Swift said. "Due to the limited right of way and the condition of the existing rock formation, we had to be extremely cautious during rock blasting and rock removal. We are pleased to say that this project had 17,672.25 of manpower hours with no reportable accidents."

A timeline of Yemeni missile, drone attacks inside Saudi Arabia
Posted on 16.09.2019 16.09.2019 By lena-mozya
For more than four years, Yemen's army and allied popular forces — led by the Houthi Ansarullah movement — have been defending the country against a devastating Saudi-led military campaign meant to reinstate a former Riyadh-friendly government.
The war has so far claimed over 91,000 lives and taken a heavy toll on Yemen's infrastructure, plunging the Arabian Peninsula's already poorest nation into "the world's worst humanitarian crisis."
However, despite having the West's strong logistical support, the Saudi regime and its partners in crime have failed to make the people of iron will submit to the language of force, prompting them, instead, to join forces — under Ansarullah's auspicates — in boosting Yemen's defense capabilities and responding to Riyadh's acts of aggression.
In recent months, the Yemeni army has stepped up counter-attacks — involving domestically-built drones and missiles — on numerous positions on Saudi soil before showing off a new level of deterrent power on Saturday by targeting Aramco, the heart of Saudi Arabia's oil industry, in a game-changing drone operation that halved the kingdom's oil and gas output.
The following is a timeline of such retaliatory raids on targets inside Saudi Arabia staring from May 14 — when the Yemenis carried out a major drone strike on Aramco facilities.
May 14, 2019: Saudi Arabia stops pumping crude oil on a major pipeline across the country in the aftermath of Yemen's drone strikes on two of Aramco's stations west of Riyadh along the East-West pipeline.
Yemen's military delivers a strong warning to the Riyadh regime, saying Yemeni forces stand ready to carry out further and more delicate operations deep inside Saudi Arabia.
Deputy Yemeni Minister of Information, Fahmi al-Yusufi, also warns the aggressors that "they are within the range of our attacks, and US battle ships cannot rescue them. The Yemeni army, which previously did not even have Kalashnikov rifles in inventory, can now produce drones that infiltrate into Saudi Arabia and the UAE. We are fully prepared to defend our soil. These attacks attest to our military progress despite the ongoing sea, land and air blockade on Yemen."
June 12, 2019: The Saudi-led coalition confirms a retaliatory missile strike by Yemeni armed forces on the Abha International Airport in the kingdom's southwestern Asir region.
The coalition said a Yemeni missile had hit the airport's arrivals hall, causing material damage.
June 17, 2019: The Ansarullah movement and its allied forces target an airport in Abha.
June 20, 2019: Yemeni forces attack a power plant in Jizan Province southwest of the kingdom using a cruise missile.
July 2, 2019: The Yemeni military targets a hangar for military warplanes in the Abha airport. The attack left several people injured, Yemen's al-Masirah television network reported.
July 7, 2019: Yemeni Armed Forces unveil new domestically-built military hardware, including ballistic and winged missiles in addition to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
Sana'a said the latest equipment could change the balance of power in favor of Yemen.
August 1, 2019: The Yemeni armed forces said they launched missile and drone attacks on a camp of Saudi-sponsored militiamen loyal to the country's ex-government in the port city of Aden, killing dozens of them, including a commander.
In a separate attack, Yemeni forces used long-range ballistic missile to target a military base in the city of Dammam located hundreds of kilometers away from Yemen in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.
August 2, 2019: Yemeni Armed Forces unveil a new generation of domestically-built Borkan (Volcano) long-range missiles.
August 5, 2019: The Yemenis fire long-range missiles at the port city of Dammam.
August 17, 2019: Houthi fighters launch a drone attack on a remote oil and gas field in eastern Saudi Arabia.
August 25, 2019: The Houthi movement targets an airport and an airbase in southwestern Saudi Arabia with drone attacks.
August 26, 2019: Yemeni forces use a squadron of Sammad-3 (Invincible-3) combat drones to strike an "important military target" in Riyadh.
September 14, 2019: The Houthis deploy as many as 10 drones to bomb key oil facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais.
The unprecedented attack have shut down about 50 percent of the kingdom's crude and gas production, cutting the state oil giant's crude oil supply by around 5.7 million barrels per day.
An informed Saudi source said on Sunday that the damages inflicted on the facilities are so massive that it is not clear when the country's oil output can return to normal.

Jenifer Lewis knows you don't need to say anything to tell people what you think. On the Emmys red carpet—a black-tie affair—the Black-ish star wore a Nike sweatshirt, leggings, and sneakers. This comes just a week after all hell broke loose when Nike unveiled its advertisement with Colin Kaepernick.
It was a divisive play on Nike's part, to say the least. Some people actually burned their Nike gear, while others bought stuff from the swoosh by the ton to support the brand. Lewis's own statement aligns with those in support of Nike's hard "yes" on Kaepernick's stand for decency in America.
"I am wearing Nike to applaud them for supporting Colin Kaepernick and his protest against racial injustice and police brutality," she told Variety. Damn right, and thank you to Jessica Lewis for making things abundantly clear, lest someone try to distract from the point here.
It's heartening to see Lewis take to the red carpet and make a genuine statement. Sure, there are some who would call it a risky move, but there's no better spot to ensure you're getting in front of as many eyes as possible. Here's hoping everyone pays attention.


With every cigarette, you expose yourself to a series of health problems, in addition to the visible effects smoking has on your body (yellow tooth, premature aging and such). Smoking can narrow down your arteries and trigger what is known as atherosclerosis, which is one of the risk factors of heart attack.
However, it is important to understand that even if you expose yourself to second-hand smoke (you inhale the tobacco smoke from those that surround you), the risk is equally high. Other notable side effects of smoking are increased heart rate or increased blood pressure. If you manage to quit smoking, not only will you be healthier but you will also save more money in the long haul.
Adopting a healthy, balanced and nutritious diet is important from several different points of view. In addition to preventing heart disease, a healthy diet will also help you maintain a stable weight over the years and deliver your body all the nutrients it needs to function normally. It is important to increase your daily intake of fruits and vegetables, as well as products that contain essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6), such as fish. Also, beans are extremely beneficial for your heart.
At the same time, limit your intake of saturated fats and trans fats, which raise the levels of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and increase the risk for coronary heart disease.
This is by far one of the most important aspects you need to pay attention to, as adopting a healthy diet alone will not take you very far. By exercising at least 30 minutes on a daily basis, you will maintain a healthy weight, burn calories, relieve stress, boost your mood and regulate your blood pressure.
However, if you do not manage to workout on a daily basis, then try to exercise at least four days a week: it does not need to be an intense workout, you just need to focus on cardiovascular training that will make you sweat. You can opt for jogging, gardening, hiking, swimming or even housekeeping, as doing the household chores can be considered an exercise!

Communication, Acceptance and revocation in Contract Act, 1872
lawzest October 3, 2020 0 Comments
The Indian Contract Act is one of the oldest mercantile laws of our country. It is the main law which regulates contracts in India. Indian Contract Act gives contractual rights to the citizens of India. It gives rights, duties and obligations to the parties of the contract to help them to conclude the business smoothly. It is not important that you will encounter Constitutional, Company or IPC laws daily but you do enter every day into many forms of oral, written, implied and express forms of contracts. Indian Contract Act came into force on 1st September 1872 i.e many years before our independence, So this legislation was created by Britishers and has 266 sections. In 1930 they removed section 76-123 from this act and made a separate Sales of Goods Act again in 1932 the last part (Section 239-266) of this act was removed and a separate, Indian Partnership Act was introduced. In this paper we will discuss 1) Communication, 2) Acceptance and 3) Revocation in Indian Contract Act,1872 and the importance of these terms in the formation of a contract.
In 2(a) of Indian contract act,1872 explains that a person is required to make a proposal for initiation of any agreement. When the person signifies his willingness to do something or abstain himself from doing something then it is called proposal but willingness should be signified. Signified in this context means communicated. The proposal must be communicated to other people. Section 3 of the act talks about how the offer is communicated. It says the offer may be communicated by word of mouth, or by writing or conduct in a manner which has the effect of communicating the offer to the offeree. So we can infer that the communication can be Express or Implied in both ways you can signify your willingness to the offeree.
Express- When the offer is communicated or made by words of mouth or by writing. Implied – When an offer is communicated or made from the conduct of the party at that particular situation. When inference by the conduct of the party can be drawn from circumstances of the case . e.g. when you board any bus, by your conduct you undertake to pay the fare when the bus takes you to your destination, no matter if you made no express promise to do so.
Upton Rural District Council v/s Powell2 – In this case fire broke out in the defendant farm. Believing that he was entitled to the free services of the Upton Fire Brigade, summoned it. The Brigade put out the fire and claimed compensation for the services. It then turned out that the defendant was not within the free service zone. He was held bound to pay. The court said "the truth of the matter is that the defendant wanted the services of Upton; he asked for services of Upton and Upton, in response to that request, provided the services. Hence, the services were rendered on an implied promise to pay them".
It is also important that offer should be communicated to person or persons, to whom it is made. Section 4 of the Indian Contract Act,1872 says that "the communication of the proposal is complete when it comes to the knowledge of the person to whom it is made. Therefore offer is not complete unless and until it is brought to the knowledge of the person to whom it is made.
NOTE -Acting in ignorance of an offer does not amount to acceptance of the offer.
Williams v/s Carwardine – The plaintiff, who knew that reward had been announced to be given to anyone who gave information leading to the conviction to be given to anyone who gave information leading to the conviction as an assailant for murder, gave the necessary information. While giving the information to, the plaintiff mentioned that she had given the information to ease her conscience. At that time, she did not intend to claim the reward. She, however, subsequently brought an action to claim the same. It was held that since the offer had been accepted with its knowledge, there was a valid contract and, therefore, she was entitled to claim the reward.
According to section 2(b)3: When the person to whom the proposal is made signifies his assent thereto, the proposal is said to be accepted. A proposal, when accepted becomes a promise. When the proposal is accepted it becomes an agreement. Parties do not become bound until the proposal is accepted. The acceptance can be express or implied.
2 (1942) 1 All ER 220 (Emphasis added).
3 Section 2(b), the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
Express- When proposal or acceptance is made in words, the promise is said to be express. Implied- When the proposal or acceptance is made otherwise than in words, the promise is said to be implied.
Note- The offeree is not bound to accept the offer. He is free to reject it or it gets lapsed if not accepted.
Till the time offer is not accepted both parties has no legal obligation and has full rights to reject it but once the offer is accepted there is no coming back both parties become legally bound to promise.
Essentials of valid acceptance
Acceptance should be communicated by the offeree to the offeror.
Acceptance should be absolute and unqualified.
Acceptance should be made in some usual and reasonable manner unless the proposal. prescribes the manner of acceptance.
Acceptance should be made while the offer is still subsisting.
Acceptance should be communicated
The offeree must signify his acceptance or communicate it. The communication of the acceptance of that party to whom the offer is made is essential for a valid acceptance. The communication of acceptance can be through different mediums orally, by post, by phone, by messenger, by agent etc.
Powell v/s Lee4– Powell was one of the candidates for the post of the headmaster of the school. The board of Managers passed a resolution selecting him for the post. No communication about this was to Powell by the board. One of the members who was not authorized to communicate this decision by the board, acting in his individual capacity, informed Powell about his selection for the post. Subsequently, the Board Managers met again and decided to cancel the appointment of Powell and appointed another candidate Parkar, in Powell's place. Powell sued lee, the chairman of the Board of Managers, for the breach of contract. It was held that since the resolution passed by the board was not communicated to Powell by the board or any authorized person on its behalf, it could not give rise to a contract.
4 (1908) 99 L.T. 284.
Acceptance should be absolute and unqualified
Also, it must be communicated in a prescribed manner. If no prescribed manner is described then it must be communicated in the normal and reasonable manner, i.e. as it would be in the normal course of business. Implied acceptance can also be given through conduct of that person, etc.
However, the law says silence is not a form of acceptance. So the offeror cannot say if no answer is received the offer will be deemed as accepted.
Acceptance should be expressed in the usual/prescribed manner
According to section 7(2), The acceptance should be expressed through reasonable or usual manner unless the manner as prescribed in the proposal the way it should be accepted.
Usual and reasonable manner – The manner used in a particular type of business or according to the general custom of trade. LIC of India v/s R Vasireddy5– In this case, the encashment of a cheque of the first insurance premium or mere delay in conveying the acceptance of the proposal did not mean its acceptance. In case the formal internal procedure of approval of the proposal by Divisional manager has yet to be gone through, the contract does not arise until the same is done. Therefore, if the proposer died before the needful was done, his widow could not claim the assured amount of Rs 50,000/-.
Acceptance should be made while the offer is still subsisting
5 A.I.R. 1984 S.C. 1014.
You can an offer only when the offer is not withdrawn, lapsed or revoked due to certain circumstances. Therefore the acceptance must be made when the offer is alive or subsisting. Similarly, the offer is considered ended by the rejection of the original offer or counter offer. As soon as acceptance is done the contract becomes complete.
3) REVOCATION OF OFFER
When the offer is accepted it creates legal obligations between parties but before the acceptance offer can be revoked.
According to section 5: "A proposal may be revoked at any time, before the communication of its acceptance is complete as against the proposer, but not afterwards."
Note- Once the communication of acceptance is complete and a contract has come into existence, the question of revocation of offer does not arise.
Modes of revocation of offer
Section 6 talks about various methods through which revocation can be done.
by notice of revocation
by lapse of time
by failure to fulfil a condition precedent
by death or insanity of the offeror
A proposal may be revoked by communication of notice of proposer of other party but notice should be communicated by the proposer ( or by agent ).
Note- In India, the proposer has to communicate through a notice of revocation but in England, even the offeree comes to know about revocation then the offer will be revoked. Dickinson v/s Dodds6 – this case is an authority for the rule that the revocation of the offer was valid even though the fact of sale of the property to somebody else was communicated to Dickinson by somebody other than Doods or his authorized agent. Another point explained by this case is that even though Doods originally stated that the offer was open till 9: 00 am. On 12 june , he was still free to withdraw this offer at any time before it was accepted because no legal obligation is created until the offer is accepted.
6 (1876) 2 Ch. D. 463.
If time is prescribed in the proposal for its acceptance then it should be accepted within that prescribed time otherwise the offer will be revoked and if no time is prescribed it should be accepted in a reasonable time. Non-acceptance within fixed time will automatically revoke the offer.
When the offer is made with certain conditions, such conditions needs to be fulfilled by the acceptor if not fulfilled the offer gets revoked. So the condition needs to be fulfilled by the acceptor before giving acceptance.
The State of M.P v/s Goberdhan dass7– In this case tenders for the sale of certain goods were invited subject to condition that 25% amount was paid when the tender was accepted. A's tender was highest and the same was accepted, but he failed to fulfil this condition. It was held that no contract had arisen merely because A's tender was accepted. Therefore , if A failed to take the goods and pay to them, he could not be made liable for breach of contract.
When death and insanity of the proposer come to the knowledge of the acceptor before his acceptance then the offer gets revoked and if death and insanity don't come in the knowledge of acceptor then it becomes valid acceptance.
Note- In England if the acceptor knows about offerors death the offer gets revoked no matter it was accepted or there was any legal obligation between them.
In re Irvine (Candian case )8, it has been held that even if the offeree, who has written his acceptance but not yet posted the same, dies , the offer lapses on his death, and the posting of the letter after the offeree's death does not create a contract.
