Biennale College, Venice International Film Festival
Last call for the Biennale College Cinema International
June 27, 2019 HollywoodGlee	Leave a comment
Biennale College – Cinema has now reached its 8th edition: a strategic programme for training new filmmakers from all around the world, which was already operating in the Dance, Music, Theatre departments of La Biennale di Venezia.
Biennale College fosters new talents, allowing them to work in contact with masters in order to develop "creations".
This is a project of crucial importance and the Cinema department of La Biennale di Venezia has been revitalized and given a brand new configuration: a program of permanent activities "after and beyond the Festival" with a strong commitment to developing new creative energies channeled into producing art.
Biennale College – Cinema is supported by Ministero per i Beni e le attività culturali.
The primary goal is to supplement the Venice International Film Festival with an advanced training workshop for the development and production of micro-budget audio-visual works, open to teams of directors and producers from around the world.
The challenge is to be able to create – at the end of a year-long series of activities that cover the entire spectrum of filmmaking including the conception, development, production, marketing, audience engagement, sales and distribution of films – up to 3 feature length micro-budget audio-visual works – among which 1 Italian – that will be presented during the Venice International Film Festival and also have an on-line screening on the "Sala Web", the virtual theatre added to the traditional theatres that house the screenings for the public and pass holders in the Lido.
An essential element of the initiative is the combination of not only training and production finance but also the screening of the completed film at the Venice International Film Festival giving the selected filmmakers much needed visibility – the lack of which is one of the major problems of today's independent cinema.
Biennale College – Cinema also aims to advance research on micro-budget productions, which have become, in times of economic crisis, one of the few opportunities that new talents have to make the leap into producing and directing full feature films.
The eighth edition includes two different calls, one Italian (open 20th February until 15th April 2019) and one International, until 1st July. Click here for Registration.
For each call, Biennale College Cinema is looking for feature-length audio-visual concepts that can be made with € 150.000,00 to be completed, developed, produced, edited and screened at the Venice International Film Festival in 2020.

Venice News: David Cronenberg to Receive Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement
June 5, 2018 HollywoodGlee	Leave a comment
David Cronenberg will receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement for directors at the 75th Venice International Film Festival (August 29 – September 8, 2018).
Accepting the award, David Cronenberg declared: "I've always loved the Golden Lion of Venice. A lion that flies on golden wings –that's the essence of art, isn't it? The essence of cinema. It will be almost unbearably thrilling to receive a Golden Lion of my own."
The decision was made by the Board of Directors of the Biennale di Venezia, chaired by Paolo Baratta, who espoused the proposal made by the Festival Director, Alberto Barbera.
With regard to this prize, Alberto Barbera declared: "Although Cronenberg was originally relegated to the margins of the horror genre, right from his first, scandalously subversive movies, the director has shown that he wants to take his audiences well beyond the cinema of exploitation, as he constructs an original and highly personal structure, movie after movie. Revolving around the inseparable relationship of body, sex, and death, his universe is populated by grotesque deformities and terrifying couplings, a horror which reflects the fear of mutations inflicted on bodies by science and technology, of disease and physical decay, of the unresolved conflict between spirit and flesh. Violence, sexual transgression, confusion between what is real and what is virtual, the image's deforming role in contemporary society: these are a few of the recurring themes which have helped make him one of the most daring and stimulating filmmakers ever, a tireless innovator of forms and languages."

Venice International Film Festival Celebrates 75th Edition This Year
The Venice International Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the world and one of the most prestigious. The Festival was organized for the first time in 1932, under the auspices of the President of the Biennale, Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata, the sculptor Antonio Maraini, and Luciano De Feo and obtained a great popularity, so as to become an annual event from 1935 onwards.
The Venice Film Festival is today a prestigious event that presents every year a selection of world-class films, bringing some of the most successful directors and actors of our time on the red carpet at Lido di Venezia, continuing the tradition that adds the glamour and charm that always marked the Festival as a high artistic value program.
About 75th Venice International Film Festival

This year's President of the International Jury of the Competition is Guillermo del Toro. The Festival is officially recognized by the FIAPF (International Federation of Film Producers Association).

Venice dedicates entire island to VR
August 17, 2017 HollywoodGlee	1 Comment
If you thought that the Venice Film Festival had lost its relevance, think again. Since 2013 the oldest film festival in the world has become the launching pad for the Oscars and now embraces the future of cinema by hosting the biggest and boldest presentation of Virtual Reality ever seen at any film festival.
The island, Lazzaretto Vecchio, pictured above, will be transformed into a virtual reality paradise during the Biennale from August 31st to September 5th, 2017.
And they do it in a way that only Venice can – with an immaculate sense of style and aplomb. The main big news is that Venice will dedicate an abandoned island in the lagoon to the presentation of the world's best VR productions.
Located less than 50 meters from the Lido, where the festival takes place, sits Lazzaretto Vecchio. enice VR will literally be just a stone's throw from the heart of the Festival and The PalaBiennale, which is one of the largest screening venues. This small, abandoned island used to be a leper colony and a quarantine transit island between the 15th and 17th century. The island alone is worth the short trip comments Michel, "There's so much history in this place."
About a decade ago, the hospital and the adjoining buildings on the island were partly renovated to house a future Museum of Archeology, which has not materialized to date. Now, Lazzaretto Vecchio has found a new purpose.
Venice VR also features a dedicated VR theater with 50 revolving leather seats located in a huge hangar from the 16th century. Visitors can see three programs in competition. Highlights include the first VR piece, The Deserted (55′), by internationally renowned Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-Liang. Additionally, there will be an Out of Competition program featuring previous VR pieces by directors who are part of this year's Venice Production Bridge – the pitch market of the Festival.
A fifth program features three pieces from this year's premiere edition of the Venice Biennale College Cinema – Virtual Reality which will be presented out of competition. The Venice Biennale College is a two-part pressure cooker-style training program that preps participants for a bright 360° interactive immersive future. Two projects (out of ten projects developed during this year's College) have been made with support from Sony are presented alongside the third piece, a VR spinoff from Beautiful Things, which is one of the three "flat" films produced this year by the Biennale College Cinema.
A small PSVR tie-in piece to the TV-series Snatch on Crackle – Sony's free, ad-supported media streaming service. A tie-in to Guy Ritchie's crime comedy from 2000, Snatch is a game where you need to crack the code of a chest.
Venice VR Competition at a glance
A major selection criterium of Venice is that all pieces have to be international or world premieres. The second criterium is of course the quality of the piece. 103 submissions were sent in from all over the world for Venice's first VR competition. Among the 22 VR pieces that were selected are six room-scale installations, six Oculus and three Vive stand ups.
Three of the former hospital's extended hallways and galleries will offer plenty of space for Venice's ambitious VR program. "We will have something like 4000 square meters to just do the installations," says Michel Reilhac. But it's not just about the space, he adds. The atmosphere on the island is "simply magical." This will be the very first time ever that the island is opened to visitors.
Venice Virtual Reality: Installations in Competition
There will be six installations that allow visitors to interact with the space and sometimes with actors. There are a couple of pieces that fall in the category of Reactive Theater; interactive VR experiences that use live performers, also referred to as "reactive actors." Draw Me Close by the National Theatre and the NFB is a VR installation in which the actors "play" with the audience making the piece more immersive.

OTTAWA, Ontario — Nine years before Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white passenger on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, Viola Desmond tried to sit in a whites-only section of a movie theater in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.
"A Black Woman Who Defied Segregation in Canada Will Appear on Its Currency" is from the March 12, 2018 World section of The New York Times. It was written by Ian Austen and narrated by Fleet Cooper.

And as the storm pushes inland, it could dump 6-10 inches as far inland as Charlotte and Raleigh in North Carolina as well as in Roanoke, Virginia, he said.
But the storm still carried "very risky winds", the Center added.
But North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper warned: "Don't relax, don't get complacent". Waves off the shore of North Carolina have already gotten as high as 13 feet, he saYS.
Florence's expected slowdown means a prolonged period near the coast, said the hurricane center's Joel Cline.
Police patrol past boarded up shops along the boardwalk in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina ahead of Hurricane Florence's arrival.
At least 12,000 people had taken refuge in 126 emergency shelters, Mr Cooper said, with more facilities being opened.
And don't be fooled by the fact that Florence has weakened slightly to a strong Category 2 hurricane. Heavy rains were forecast to extend into the Appalachian mountains, affecting parts of Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia. Two amphibious Navy ships are on standby to respond and provide disaster relief after Florence moves through.
In Myrtle Beach, ABC correspondent Pete Combs painted a starker picture of those who made a decision to stay in place.
Air Force General Terrence J O'Shaughnessy, head of US Command, said search and rescue is a top priority but that the magnitude of the storm may exceed the ability of rescuers. "We're able", he said. "We're fully prepared. Food, medical, everything you can imagine, we are ready".
He has also enjoyed success with Bayern and Manchester City , who won the Premier League last season with a record points haul. City are without the Belgium worldwide due to a knee injury that is set to rule De Bruyne out of action until November.

Gideon Rubin - Last Year's Man Exhibition at Gallery Karsten Greve, Paris, April 13-June 1, 2013, Par Iris Julia Bührle.
Class of 1931, 2013. Courtesy Galerie Karsten Greve Paris
Alongside an impressive retrospective of sculptures by Louise Bourgeois (Louise Bourgeois: Rare and Important Works from a Private Collection, March 23-June 1), the Karsten Greve gallery in Paris opened a second exhibition this month, containing some recent paintings by the Israeli-born and London-based artist Gideon Rubin. At first sight, Rubin's paintings hardly look particularly modern next to Bourgeois's powerful and evocative works: most of them are beautifully painted portraits of solitary figures posing nonchalantly in front of hazy backgrounds. One striking parallel, however: none of the figures has a face. Instead, thick layers of colour evoke a screen or a canvas on which the visitor is sometimes tempted to paint a face, so provocatively do the eyeless and featureless figures seem to stare at the spectators.
Rubin wanted to give his models, which he originally found in photographs from the 1940s on flea markets or ebay, an air of anonymity, and he also wished to allow viewers to project their own images of known or invented faces on the empty screens. The "neutral" backgrounds, which make it difficult to situate the scenes in space and time, and the lack of relations between the figures that precludes any obvious narrative layer, are designed to leave as much freedom as possible to the viewer's imagination.
The exhibition also contains a selection of paintings inspired by photographs of celebrities or models from fashion magazines. Their graceful poses and trendy outfits add to a certain air of sweetness and superficiality in Rubin's works, which is partly counterbalanced by the disturbing effect of the figures' empty glances.

The absence of faces also diverts the viewer's attention away from the models' personality to the details of Rubin's painting style: for instance his ample, sensuous brushstrokes, the creamy quality of his colours and the constant play with opacity and translucency, with realistic detail versus abstraction and with carefully painted parts versus raw surfaces. Thus, you might catch a glimpse of a woman's dark underwear beneath her white shirt, while her face is a thick flesh-coloured screen. Another woman's hair might be elaborately painted in various shades of blonde and brown, whereas the background merely consists of vague patches of beige which fade into the bare canvas around the edges. Rubin also mixes media and incorporates movement and sound in a projection of the image of a walking man on a painted canvas. Some landscapes, equally hovering between representation and abstraction, equally loosely anchored in space and time, complete the exhibition.

NeoGeo Pocket Color (1999)
Original ad published in the August 1999 issue of Tips & Tricks (no. 18)
SNK's cute effort to break Nintendo's portable dominance
Famous for its gargantuan NeoGeo console, SNK sold a diminutive portable system called the NeoGeo Pocket Color at the very end of the 90s and the start of the new millennium. Today, collectors find the little console adorable and quite desirable.
The NeoGeo Pocket Color was no match for Nintendo's Game Boy. In fact, no other portable console sold during the entire 90s decade came even close to the big N's gizmo. Only the Game Boy Advance, released in 2001, closed a very profitable and very long chapter for brick-like machine of the house of Mario.
All in all, the NeoGeo Pocket Color and the "normal" Pocket version sold 2 million units worldwide, a far cry from the 118 million units sold of the original Game Boy. SNK's machine was mired with distribution problems, as well as financial upheaval from Japanese HQ. It was discontinued in the US but sold in various Asian countries after the financial distress of SNK.
SNK's little portable was not a groundbreaking machine, but it did have its curiosities. For starters, the joystick was unlike your regular d-pad. The thing clicked like a professional arcade stick, making it fantastic for fighting games. The display was not bad, at 160 pixels wide by 152 pixels tall. By far its stand-out feature was its uncanny battery life: you could log 40 hours or gameplay with just two AA batteries.
If your patient enough, you can still find some very good games for NeoGeo Pocket Color. The complete list of games is Japanese-centric, of course.
The print ad itself shows the system's more playful style. It's was marketed as a toy. A $70 toy, but still, a companion to your much larger collection of console games. You also see some nice super deformed characters and a very colorful system arrangement where a whole deck of NeoGeo Pocket Color's and some cool games are well displayed. More importantly, on the lower left side you can read two very large URL pointing to both SNKs web site and one important distribution chain.

Q: Any way to prevent Firefox scaling on second monitor? So, the background on this issue. I had two monitors. A 1080p Samsung monitor, and a 1440x900 Philips TV. On my old Radeon HD 5770, I connected the monitor via HDMI and the TV via VGA and set both to their native resolution and everything worked fine.
I switched to a 290x which no longer had any analog outputs, so now I have the monitor connected via HDMI and the TV connected via a DVI->HDMI converter. This only allows me to set the 1440x900 TV to one of four resolutions: 1920x1080, 1600x900, 1280x720 or 1024x768. So I set it to 1080p and let either my graphics card or the TV itself downscale it. I also turned off all scaling options in the windows control panel.
And this works, for everything except Firefox, which inexplicably doubles everything in size when the centre of the window is on the second monitor.
For illustration, here's a screenshot.

The left window is Firefox, on the primary monitor at a reasonable size. The rightmost window is Chrome, on the secondary monitor, also at a reasonable size. The middle window is Firefox, on the secondary monitor and doing some weird scaling of its own.
IS there any way to disable or fix this?

A: There seems to be some options to try out in the about:config page of Firefox,

UNRWA Condemns Rafah School Shooting
Letter Writing Campaign for Rafah: Demand Action Not Words
Written by admin • Saturday, 22.05.2004, 15:35
Home » Urgent Appeals » Letter Writing Campaign for Rafah: Demand Action Not Words
Appeal , Right to Education Campaign, 22 May 2004
Join the letter writing campaign to the European Union and the United Nations telling them that words of condemnation of the war crimes in Rafah are not enough and it is time to take action. Copy the suggested letter formats below and send your letter by email or fax to the European Union and the United Nations. It is time for international sanctions against Israel. It is time to bring an international protection presence to Gaza and West Bank. It is time to hold accountable those persons responsible for the war crimes committed in Rafah and other Palestinian areas by bringing them before the International Court of Justice.
LETTER TO THE EUROPEAN UNION (United Nations Letter below)
Dear Mr Javier Solana
The European Union has condemned the destruction in Rafah by the Israeli Occupation Army. The United Nations Security Council has adopted a resolution condemning the killing of Palestinian civilians in Rafah and calling on Israel to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes. Amnesty International and other international human rights agencies have recognized that Israel is guilty of war crimes and grave breaches of humanitarian law, international human rights law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.
We, as Palestinians, commend the international community for their condemnation of Israel's atrocities against the people of Rafah. But we also wish to remind you that since 1948 our history has been replete with international condemnations and Security Council resolutions and yet we are still vulnerable and our path to justice is still long. The international community continues to fail us after 56 years of dispossession and violence against the Palestinian people because no punitive action against Israel has ever been taken.
Mr Javier Solana, words of condemnation have become vividly insufficient while the European Union maintains its position as Israel's major trading partner and continues to forge ever-closer links through agreements such as the recent EU Scientific Cooperation Agreement with Israel. Birzeit University expressed its concern over this agreement in a letter to the European Union in February 2004 on the grounds that it could "only be looked upon as further support to Israel and could possibly encourage Israel further in its continued military occupation and its violations of human rights".
The European Union's Association Agreement with Israel is expressly contingent on Israel's observing basic human rights laws and yet these clauses have never been invoked. Until Israel complies with the European Unions's principles of respect for human and civil rights, as outlined by the 'Copenhagen Criteria', all agreements and relations with Israel should be suspended.
It is time to suspend all agreements and relations between Israel and the European Union and to impose full sanctions – similar to those imposed on South Africa – to isolate Israel internationally until it complies with the EU principles, international law and UN Security Council resolutions.
It is time to bring an international protection presence to the occupied Gaza and the West Bank to ensure the safety of the Palestinian civilian population living under occupation.
It is time to hold accountable those persons responsible for the war crimes committed in Rafah and other areas in the occupied Palestinian territories by bringing them before the International Court of Justice.
We call upon the European Union to place the necessary pressure on Israel to unconditionally halt all military operations against the Palestinian civilian population. But, of course, the only way to ensure a permanent end to Israeli war crimes and atrocities against the Palestinian people is to end the occupation.

LETTER TO THE UNITED NATIONS
Dear Mr Kofi Annan
The United Nations Security Council has condemned the killing and destruction in Rafah by the Israeli Occupation Army. Amnesty International and other international human rights agencies have recognized that Israel is guilty of war crimes and grave breaches of humanitarian law, international human rights law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.
We, as Palestinians, commend the international community for their condemnation of Israel's atrocities against the people of Rafah. But we also wish to remind you that since 1948 our history has been replete with Security Council resolutions and international condemnations and yet we are still vulnerable and our path to justice is still long. The United Nations and the international community continue to fail us after 56 years of dispossession and violence against the Palestinian people because no punitive action against Israel has ever been taken. Mr Kofi Annan, we implore you to take action as words have become vividly insufficient.
It is time to impose full sanctions on Israel — similar to those imposed on South Africa, as your Special Rapporteur, Mr. John Dugard has recently argued — to isolate it internationally until it complies with international law and pertinent Security Council resolutions.
We call upon the United Nations to place the necessary pressure on Israel to unconditionally and immediately halt all military operations against the Palestinian civilian population. But, of course, the only way to ensure a permanent end to Israeli war crimes and atrocities against the Palestinian people is to end the occupation.

Capturing ideas at Air Liquide
4iP Council speaks to Charlotta Ljungdahl, Vice-President for Group Intellectual Property at Air Liquide, to learn how this world leader in gases, technologies and services for industry and health innovates.
The world leader in gases, technologies and services for industry and health, Air Liquide is present in 80 countries with approximately 65,000 employees and serves more than 3 million customers and patients. Oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen are essential small molecules for life, matter and energy. They embody Air Liquide's scientific territory and have been at the core of the company's activities since its creation in 1902.
Innovation is one of the pillars of the company's strategy. Innovating enables Air Liquide to ensure its competitiveness, open up new markets and to create new growth opportunities.
Here, 4iP Council speaks to Charlotta Ljungdahl, Air Liquide's Vice-President for Group Intellectual Property.
How does Air Liquide approach innovation and intellectual property management?
Air Liquide has a dynamic portfolio of over 10,000 patents and an innovation culture that is embedded in the company worldwide. We file a large number - around 300 - new patent applications a year that help us to keep our patent portfolios aligned with the business objectives.
About half of our invention disclosures come from our global R&D teams and the other half come from non R&D activities. It is very important for us, the global IP team, to develop our links within the businesses so that we encourage invention disclosures and thereby capture the group's innovation. Whereas in the past our approach was mainly to innovate 'from the inside out', Air Liquide now has a strong 'outside in' approach. We look at new ways of performing open innovation such as teaming up with a large spectrum of partners and engaging in equity investments in start-up companies that have a promising technology in the making.
How does the Group encourage internal innovation?
Innovation is actively encouraged across the whole employee base through career paths focused on innovation, and recognition programmes which are organised with the engagement of our executive committee.
Our invention recognition programme, called #INVENT, has been used as a benchmark by other companies. I am very proud of this program as it was created and is led by the IP team. More than 2,000 rewards have been awarded to inventors employed at Air Liquide since 1997. The Group also has entrepreneurship awards to recognise entrepreneurial spirit across the company and HR programs to recognise technical expertise.
How does IP evolve, to assure that Air Liquide ensures it is in pole position to capture the latest market innovations?
The 'outside in' approach leads to more dynamic partnerships and partnership agreements. Bringing in existing innovation from start-ups, for example, makes for more complex IP allocations in partnerships. We're now looking at shared models and this is normal, as the people we work with want a stake.
We want to be inspired by the external ecosystem and we find it is essential in today's environment, to work with partners and customers to succeed in innovation.
We have a strong global IP team to support this evolution. A multi-faceted team of experts manages the IP aspects - patents, technology transactions, trademarks, copyright etc. - of an 'open' innovation landscape that has become much more complex in the past years. Our IP experts need to be with the business teams as well as with the R&D and innovation teams. In the IP team, naturally we want to be involved at the onset of a project, as we need to understand the end game early on in order to focus on what is important as well as spot red flags.
As any other company embarking on increasingly open innovation models would agree, there is much more risk in the 'outside in' approach because we are bringing in technologies that are not home grown. As we increasingly conquer new domains and technologies, our IP experts need to spend more time analysing IP centric risk.
How do you encourage invention reporting across all the countries where you operate?
One of our key activities is to build awareness, in order to assure that the people susceptible to innovate understand what is an 'invention'. It is certain that having a patent attorney on-site in the field increases the quality and quantity of invention disclosures. People don't always recognise when they have an invention because it is too obvious to them. It is up to us to help them recognise the uniqueness in what they have come up with, and that it can benefit the whole group if we channel their invention correctly.
In a more and more 'online' world, I still don't think anything can compete with face-to-face exchanges. The IP experts thus need to be where the business is, and where innovation takes place.
I set up our IP department in China a couple of years ago. We have a small team there but the return - as shown by the increase invention reporting for example - has been exponential thanks to the awareness raising and education undertaken by the local team, supported by their colleagues in our more mature IP teams in other geographies. I continue to be impressed at the powerful results of individuals working together across countries and cultures, in my team and also elsewhere in the group. Good tools are essential but it's our people who really make the difference.
How is the Internet of Things impacting intellectual property management at Air Liquide?
A strategic focus for the Group is digital transformation. The Internet of Things is changing the way we look at our IP portfolio; we are exploring digital innovation and increasing our involvement in things that don't just lend themselves to patenting but also to other IP rights - design, trademarks and copyright.
How do employees communicate their ideas internally?
We have an on-line global invention reporting portal that is managed by the IP department. Once an invention is reported, this starts an internal process driven by the subject matter expert patent attorneys who pull together the members of an invention review committee. It is important to convene the relevant people in these committees and have a broad, often transversal, review of inventions. I believe that in the future the committees will spend more time focusing not only on patent protection - which remains essential and primary of course - but also on other rights that might be relevant to protecting the invention.
Does the patent system hinder or help invention in your view?
People who are opposed to the patent often forget that it is an essential tool for sharing scientific progress and advancing the science globally. There is no contradiction between open innovation and the patent system. We find that patents are a way of opening markets and attracting partnerships. It is a shame that some people see the system in a negative way. Maybe it is because they are confronted with people who abuse the system. The system needs to be treated with respect.
What is your message to those who support dismantling the patent system?
There is always going to be one bad patent that sticks in someone's mind, with the risk of clouding visibility of rest. This is why patent quality is so important. It is essential to ensure quality and with it the reputation of the system. Doing away with patenting would have unexpected effects. Patents are a means of technical communication and innovation and are often used to advance research. You can build on a patent without infringing it and that is often how innovation takes place.
What is your message to European policy makers seeking to encourage innovation?
It is important that policy makers listen to what they see as the 'big companies' to understand our patent strategies and gain a deeper understanding of our contribution to innovation. Most companies – us included - don't have any interest in maintaining expensive patent portfolios for no particular reason, and only keep patents if they can see a return on investment.
What is your message to individual inventors?
IP is complicated so it is important to be vigilant. So much information is free of charge, along the whole spectrum of quality. Seek advice early on and take advantage of the services offered through the patent offices and other help desks to encourage the individual inventor. It is very unfortunate when an inventor discloses his/her ideas without first taking the proper measures to keep the option of protecting it via IP rights.
I believe it is important to have lower patent filing fees for independent inventors so they are not prevented from seeking protection of their invention. Care in the information exchange is also important: Large companies must be sensitive and respectful of the ideas that individual inventors bring to them, which sometimes means that we ask people who are bringing new confidential ideas not to disclose them to us at a too early stage.
No large company wants to be seen as the big bad wolf. We want to maintain the trust of potential partners, no matter what size, and encourage them to bring us good ideas. On the IP side, the way we can contribute to successful partnerships between the group and 'small' inventors, is to make sure that the expectations of each partner are understood, and that the future sharing of the results is fair to everyone.
The views expressed in this feature are those of the interviewee and may not reflect the views of 4iP Council or its members. The purpose of this feature area is to reflect thinking on the topic of intellectual property and enable open discussion.


Argyle's Handicap Cup was won by Lawrence Phillips, a new recruit to the club after a 10 year absence from the game. He certainly proved he has still got a lot to offer, and will I am sure have a few Argyle captains vying for his services. A great afternoons table tennis was again ably orchestrated by Nick Miller.


While CVLS' Minor GAL Director Rebekah Rashidfarokhi was on maternity leave, volunteer Maria Petrone filled in. Maria has been a devoted volunteer attorney since 2009, and has worked both as a panel volunteer and with our Thunderdome Divorce Clinic. She is also currently a freelance writer for the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin. Thank you Maria for all your amazing work!
As a long-time volunteer with the Guardian ad Litem for Minors program, I was excited to step in for Rebekah while she was on extended leave. Working as a GAL has always been an incredibly rewarding experience, and filling in at CVLS was a wonderful opportunity to devote myself full time to representing children. These cases are challenging, especially when you often have parents who love their children, but are just unable to provide the stability and safety they need to thrive. Frequently, though, we get the opportunity to work with families to improve the situation for the children and often act as mediators to encourage the parties to work together toward a peaceful resolution. It is incredibly gratifying to hear from a child that he is happy and feels safe because you worked zealously to protect his interests.
I also really enjoyed the opportunity to work with some of our dedicated and hard-working volunteers, assisting them with challenges they experienced with their own GAL cases. Each client, each story, was a chance to learn how to be a better advocate and do something to positively impact a child's life.
Filling in for Rebekah also gave me the opportunity to learn more about CVLS as a whole. In addition to acting as GAL, I assisted with the general intake process. This required reading interview summaries, compiling documents, talking to potential clients and occasionally conducting legal research to determine whether CVLS volunteers could provide assistance. As a volunteer who focuses primarily on GAL cases, I was not fully aware of the breadth of legal services offered by CVLS and the amount of work that goes into screening and placing cases.
I am so impressed with the dedication and expertise of the staff attorneys and the incredible optimism that drives them to work diligently to make a difference in the lives of each of their clients.
I would like to thank Meg and the entire staff for making me feel so welcome during my time here and allowing me the opportunity to be a part of the invaluable service that CVLS provides to the public.

Many species of insect, especially wasps, ants and bees, travel in large numbers and can be very difficult to remove. Critter Control offers extermination service packages to address insect invasions quickly and completely.
Insects may not seem like a big deal until they've made themselves at home. Some, like cockroaches, can be unhygienic to have around, and others, like yellow jackets, can inflict painful stings. We can safely and responsibly destroy an entire colony without harsh or dangerous chemicals.
Critter Control of the Triangle protects customers from insect infestations in Wake, Durham, Orange and Chatham counties, including in the growing population centers of Raleigh, Durham, Cary and Chapel Hill.
Swarms of insects can be dangerous, especially to those with allergies to stings. It is also difficult to fully and permanently deal with an infestation without proper training. It's best to leave any extermination strategy to a trained professional.
Always remain a safe distance from dangerous animals or insects that need extermination. If possible, make our technicians path to the problem as easy as possible, and then simply step back and let us take of the rest.
If you come into contact with an unwanted or dangerous wild animal on your property, the first step is to contact your local wildlife service to remove the animal from the area safely. Critter Control uses responsible methods to remove all unwanted animals off of public and private property. In Raleigh, Durham, Cary and the Triangle area, the most common issues with wildlife involve bats, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, birds, mice, rats, fox, woodchucks and insects like hornets and wasps.
Critter Control provides assistance with mice and rat problems. Our technicians will inspect your home and create a comprehensive re-baiting plan so these rodents will not return in the future.
Critter Control offers several different ways to help customers remove pests such as yellow jackets, bees, wasps and hornets from their homes or businesses. In addition, we can schedule one-time or periodic appointments for preventative maintenance.
Wildlife can, and often will, do enormous damage to attic insulation. Critter Control's expert staff can help by replacing and repairing torn insulation in your attic to bring the insulation back to its prior state.
Wild animals, insects and other pests tend to leave behind strong odors, stains, feces, nests, damage, urine and hair. Critter Control's wildlife experts will work to leave your residence odor-free and smelling great. We will even clean tough to reach places like crawl spaces and attic corners.
Each one of Critter Control's full services are available for commercial or business clients in large warehouses, prisons, schools and corporate locations. We specialize in projects big and small all throughout the Raleigh, Durham and Cary areas in the Triangle.
Critter Control will efficiently remove any deceased animal, like deer, raccoons, and opossums, from your home or business. When left to decay, these animal remains begin to rot and create unbearable odors.

When you look through rose-tinted glasses life indeed seems better, especially when you suffer from dreadful migraines. The recent study revealed that wearing glasses with rosy hue may reduce and prevent headaches and migraines.
The scientists used rose-tinted glasses with FL-14 shade that is used to protect eyes from blue-green light of fluorescent lamp, another migraine trigger. Previous studies on children showed that wearing rose-tinted glasses can reduce the number of migraine headaches from 6 to less that two per month.
Currently the glasses with FL-41 tint are available in FL-41 Anti-Migraine Eye-Wear made by company Axon Optics.

Heceta Head Lighthouse Re-Opens
Back to Travel Guides
June 24, 2013 By The Oregon Coast
The iconic Heceta Head Lighthouse is open again after two years of restoration. The official unveiling happened Saturday, June 8, when the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) welcomed a group of nearly 100 supporters to Heceta Head State Scenic Viewpoint to celebrate the reopening. Many of those in attendance were involved in the restoration work. The lighthouse had been closed since August of 2011.
The event kicked off with remarks by University of Oregon Professor of Architecture Emeritus Donald Peting, West Lane County Commissioner Jay Bozievich, and State Senator Arnie Roblan. The speeches were followed by the uncovering of the lighthouse's original first-order Fresnel lens and the relighting of the 1,000-watt quartz bulb with its signature of one white flash every 10 seconds. Attendees then enjoyed tours of the tower and refreshments on the lawn of the Heceta Head Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast, run by a concessionaire of the U.S. Forest Service. The event was emceed by Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commissioner Cal Mukumoto from North Bend.
The lighthouse tower was originally constructed in 1893 and its five-wick kerosene lantern first lit in 1894. In 2001, ten years after the property was fully transferred to OPRD by the U.S. Coast Guard, the Department initiated a top-to-bottom restoration effort. The work was needed to address deterioration of the landmark caused by more than a century of extreme weather and disrepair.
Under the supervision of OPRD preservation architect Sue Licht, a team of more than 100 subcontractors and craftspeople, the majority of whom were from Oregon, removed cement stucco that had sealed in moisture so that the lighthouse could air out in the damp coastal environment. They also replaced and restored the tower's historic metalwork and masonry, installed new windows, and repaired the lens rotating mechanism. The interior and exterior of the lighthouse were repainted and the original wood floor of the workroom was uncovered and reconditioned. The lighthouse has been returned as much as possible to the way it would have looked in 1894.
The nearly $1.6-million project was financed through a combination of federal, state, and private dollars—primarily by a $1.27-million transportation enhancement grant from the Federal Highway Administration, with the remaining funds coming from OPRD, the Oregon State Parks Foundation, and other private donations. Other park improvements to the trails and parking areas were completed in the last two years thanks to help from the U.S. Forest Service.
The restoration project was the winner of a 2013 Oregon Heritage Excellence Award from the Oregon Heritage Commission, which declared it "an exceptional example of an extensive, successful restoration project of a historically significant structure." A local artist, Marcy Tippmann, created a commemorative painting of the lighthouse for the reopening; proceeds from sales of poster prints will go towards a future project to restore two oil houses adjacent to the lighthouse.
Heceta Head is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the U.S. and has the brightest light on the Oregon coast. It also has the only active British-made lens of its size in the country. The Heceta Head Lighthouse and assistant light keeper's house (now the Heceta Head Bed and Breakfast) were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

A [very] simple man's view to life.
by Weingrad
Ke$ha's redemption
A major reason I watch the Billboard Music Awards is because it's the perfect indicator of how out of touch I am with contemporary pop music.
Each year, the detachment grows. Eight years ago I could have probably guessed every song that was on the Billboard Hot 100 at any given time without looking.
In the years that followed, I tried my best to stay in the loop just because I enjoyed keeping up to date with pop culture.
Now I don't even care anymore. Pop music has evolved in a way I never saw coming, and it's totally left me behind.
Until yesterday, I thought Fetty Wap was an item on the Taco Bell menu. Turns out, however, he's a rapper. I'd mock him more, but I also learned that he has glaucoma and it cost him one of his eyes. So you're cool, Fetty. Or is it Mr. Wap? Either way, I'll leave you be.
And while the festivities at last night's awards show got off the worst foot possible with a hideous Britney Spears lip-synced medley, the show was actually sprinkled with a few poignant and enjoyable performances.
Lukas Graham impressed me with his live rendition of 7 years. I've never actively listened to that song, but I've somehow heard it at least 20 times. And yet, he sounded really good live.
But the show clearly belonged to Celine Dion, who was honored with the Icon Award, and delivered a powerful performance of Queen's The Show Must Go On, an appropriate choice considering that her husband, Rene Angelil, died just four months ago.
Celine doesn't get enough love for having one of the best voices in the world. And yeah, I'll admit it, I keep My Heart Will Go On on my iPod at all times, because you just never know when you're going to want to listen to it. You just never know. So I play it safe.
Arguably the biggest surprise of the night was when Ke$ha — the mastermind behind Tik Tok and We R Who We R, who has been caught up in a whirlwind lawsuit of alleged abuse from her producer, a case that's gotten so much media attention that it actually earned my sympathy — performed a solemn, stripped down version of Bob Dylan's It AIn't Me Babe.
And let's be real — the performance wasn't anything extraordinary. But it was an organic, honest and raw performance from a girl singing from her heart. And that's all you can ask for in music. She ditched the Auto-Tune, and showed the world she has a capable singing voice.
Last time I apologized out of sympathy. This time, I apologize out of sincerity. So much so that I will hereby drop the money sign from your name, Kesha. That's how much you've won me over. Nicely done.
And finally, the show was wrapped by a tribute to Prince in a way that tributes should be done — simple and genuine.
There was no Lady Gaga busting out nine different David Bowie songs in five minutes. Rather, it was Madonna singing Nothing Compares 2 U, and then joined by Stevie Wonder for a duet of Purple Rain, two of the late musician's most recognizable songs. Another job well done.
So despite having to tolerate Ludacris, who has the personality of an unsharpened No. 2 pencil, as host of the show, I actually .. enjoyed … watching the Billboard Music Awards this year. At least some of it.
Mainly because Fetty Wap really caught my eye this year.
Had to.

Jeet Heer/ May 23, 2017
Russia's interference in the election worked out great for the Russians.
Anatolian News Agency/Getty Images
Testifying before Congress about Russia's meddling in the 2016 election, former CIA Director John Brennan said on Tuesday that last year he warned his Russian counterpart Alexander Bortnikov, head of the FSB, that "American voters would be outraged by any Russian attempt to interfere in the election." He said this interference would back-fire, destroying "any near-term prospect of improvement" in relations between the two countries. Bortnikov promised to convey the message to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who clearly disregarded it.
Putin took a huge gamble in brushing aside Brennan's warnings. If Hillary Clinton had won the election, which everyone had expected her to do, Brennan's prediction could very well have come true. But from the Russian point of view, dabbling in American politics has turned out to be one of their biggest foreign policy victories since the Second World War. They defeated a politician they regarded as a formidable foe, and America is now governed by a buffoon mired in scandal.
The prospect of the Russian government ever facing real repercussions are remote.
Because the Republican Party is running interference for Trump, the investigation into possible collusion between Trump's campaign and the Russians is stalled and tangled up in partisan passion.
Meanwhile, the United States is likely to remain deeply polarized in the coming years, with paranoia and division now entrenched in its politics. A divided America run by Trump is distrusted by many of its allies, especially in NATO. It will be a long time before America recovers from the election of 2016—the sad reality is that Putin won his gamble, bigly.

India is angling to regain its top trade partnership position with Kenya as India will invest in Kenya's agriculture and manufacturing sectors in line with the government's Big Four Agenda.
The Indian High Commissioner, Rahul Chhabra, while speaking at the India-Kenya Trade and Investment Forum held in Nairobi on Tuesday, said his country is determined to diminish its trade gap with Kenya and reattain its top position as a trade partner.
Kenya's trade deficit, the gap between imports and exports — ascended to Sh1.145 trillion in 12 months through December 2018 from Sh1.13 trillion a year earlier.
India continues to outperform China with respect to the number of jobs created by its Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
World Bank rankings of FDI-to-job creation ratios place China fifth, while India tops the list for the number of jobs directly created by FDI.
Other countries include Britain, USA, South Africa and Germany.
Kiprono Kittony, The Kenya National Chambers of Commerce and Industry chairman, said, "At least three Indian firms are planned to launch in Kenya following our latest memorandum of understanding with Guajarati chamber. We welcome more investors from India, promising and encouraging them skilled labour and conducive business environment."
Principal Secretary State Department of Investment and Industry, Betty Maina, said, "Although our interest of doing business has improved to position 61 globally, we want to clear more blocks to create best environment for businesses entering the country."
State Department of Investment and Industry PS Betty Maina guaranteed investors of government's support, saying plans are in works to further smoothen the interest of doing business.
Kiprono Kittony said, "Indian should take advantage of strong trade ties with Kenya to utilize the unused business opportunities in manufacturing, agribusiness, and health and housing sectors."

Middle School Essays & Papers
A first day's successful boycott. The boycott
traditionalist historian like Oates could use this source to support their
theory, as King sets the precedent to protest peacefully and use non-violent
means to achieve their aims, shown by the statement where King says that they
won't defy the constitution. The peaceful nature of the CRM's protests is one
of the key reasons it succeeded, as the multiple Presidents were very open to
listening to peaceful leaders like King, but were opposed to violent
demonstrations, e.g. Black Panthers. Therefore, the traditionalist would argue
that King pointed the movement in the right direction, and was therefore a key
reason for the success.
source originates from 5th December 1955, just four days after Rosa
Parks' arrest for refusing to vacate her seat. It was also the start of the bus
boycott, meaning the congregation at the church was the event which decided the
bus boycott would continue, after the first day's successful boycott. The
boycott would continue for 381 days, before ending with the desegregation of
buses in Montgomery. A traditionalist would use this to show that King was the
prompt which started the bus boycott, and arguably the whole movement. However,
a revisionist may look further and see that Jo Ann Robinson and the Women's
Political Council organised the first day's protest, showing the whole movement
started as a result of people on the ground.
source comes straight from King, meaning it is a reliable source to show how
King inspired the masses to avoid the buses for a year. The tone is very
inspirational and uplifting to lift the spirits of those in attendance to
succeed in protest, showing how King helped make this protest a success,
something that Oates would use to back his theory.
traditionalist would argue that King's inspirational speech from the source
gave the people the determination to take part in the boycott, as he mentions
that they're acting within the law, that they are nothing like the white
supremacist groups and that they are united. However, a revisionist would look
at how he was inspiring the people because he knew he needed people on the
ground to make the boycott a success, therefore making the people the most
important reason for the movement's success.
the source is limited as it is King's speech directly, we can't see the
people's reactions. The traditionalist would work around the limitation, and
see that the boycott stemmed from this, and therefore the reaction is
irrelevant, as King's desired outcome was achieved, therefore making King the
prime reason for the movement's success, as he led the first real change. The
revisionist would however state that King's speech needed a positive reaction
to be successful, and therefore King can't be successful without the people.
this speech, King was widely established as the key figure in the CRM,
providing various speeches and becoming the focal point of the movement. This
is shown in the Student Non-violence Coordinating Committee's (SNCC) letter to
King in June 1960.

Q: Bootstrap form value empty I have the following select form from bootstrap.org and customized to my needs but when I use request.form() the ouput is always empty:
HTML
    <form method="POST" action="{{ url_for('addPOTM') }}">

          Add Player
          <select class="custom-select mr-sm-2" id="inlineFormCustomSelect">
            <option selected>Choose...</option>
            {% for rows in dropdown %}
            <option value="{{ rows.Name }}">{{ rows.Name }}</option>
            {% endfor %}
          </select>

          <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="newPOTM">Submit</button>

    </form>

Python:
import sqlite3, logging
from flask import Flask, render_template, request, url_for, flash, redirect, jsonify
from werkzeug.exceptions import abort

@app.route('/potm')
def potm():
    conn = get_db_connection()
    dragdrop = conn.execute("SELECT * FROM POTM ORDER BY listorder ASC")
    dropdown = conn.execute('SELECT Name FROM alltime ORDER BY Name ASC').fetchall()
    return render_template('potm.html', dragdrop=dragdrop, dropdown=dropdown)

@app.route("/addPOTM",methods=["POST","GET"])
def addPOTM():
    conn = get_db_connection()
    if request.method == 'POST':
        Name = request.form['newPOTM']
        print(Name)
    return redirect(url_for('potm'))

Feel like it is very simple and I already had it today but did not save it and now cant see what I did earlier today :( Need a break

A: You are reading the value of newPOTM:
if request.method == 'POST':
        Name = request.form['newPOTM']
        print(Name)

And your form submits it in a button element (with empty value):
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="newPOTM">Submit</button>

when you realy needs read the value of the select element. Simply add the correct name attribute to the select (and remove it from the button):
<select class="custom-select mr-sm-2" id="inlineFormCustomSelect" name="newPOTM">

A: I added name="newPOTM" also to the line
<select class="custom-select mr-sm-2" id="inlineFormCustomSelect">
and it works


Blocking certain IP addresses from your site is actually much easier than you might think.
In fact, it is only a seven-line code inserted at the top of your page!
Please note that the used IP addresses are randomly selected numbers.
Now, for the explanation of the code.
Line 1 simply opens the PHP code.
Line 2 sets the variable $banned to an array containing all the IP addresses you want to be blocked from your site.
Line 3 opens a conditional. The conditional uses the in_array() function. This function checks if the first argument is in the second argument, which is an array. Our first argument, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], is automatically set to the viewer's IP address.
Line 4 echoes the message "You have been banned" if the user's IP address is in the array $banned.
Line 5 exits the page, not executing any code below line 5 if the above conditions are met.
Line 6 ends the conditional.
Line 7 ends the PHP code.
And that is the simple code that blocks chosen IP addresses from your site.


Although I am currently struggling with the complications of Autumn, when I think about the warming and comforting fall flavors, I get those good Goosebumps. The chill is coming, but warming up with food is amazing. This is the definition of comfort food, it is a feeling of safety, it is a physical reaction of an internal hug. It warms you, calms you down, makes you forget about the harsh reality of daily living, transports you to serenity, if even for a moment.
These are the flavors on my mind, and nature is my tool of inspiration.
This dish is to remind you of fall at a Midwestern cider mill. Apple cider doughnuts tossed in a rum-maple glaze, squash mousse flavored with chai spices, bacon brittle, dried apple shoe strings with sage.


I should maybe have emphasized that this is not Judge Persky's home address; I wouldn't write there, even if I knew what it was. This is the address of the courthouse where he works, publicly available at the website of the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara. Isn't it sad, though, that it made me nervous to mail that postcard, as if I'd somehow get into trouble for voicing my opinion to a public figure? This is what living under surveillance does to people.
The postcard I used, incidentally, is one of a set I bought in Israel twenty years ago. Back then every tourist spot was full of little boys selling thirty postcards for a shekel. They would walk along the street calling out, "Shekel shekel shekel!" the way people selling double-A batteries on the subway in New York walk from car to car calling out, "One dolla one dolla one dolla!" So Persky, or some unpaid intern, will be treated to a pretty view of Jerusalem on the other side of this missive. Dome of the Rock included, which is more than Aaron Persky deserves, frankly.

I have a Gardy Lv X active with proper energy requirements. I have no other Pokémon in play.
My opponent has an active with 100 health points remaining and a benched Pokémon with 10 health points remaining. The 10 HP Pokémon has a Holon WP and a basic W NRG attached.
I use bring down. Who, if anyone, gets knocked out and why?
This is a similar issue to that of a pending question. Hopefully PUI will answer this soon.
