The MARN Confirms the presence of cyanide and iron in the San Sebastian River, La Unión
Published: Monday, 16 July 2012 18:00
This weekend the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (MARN) confirmed the presence of unhealthy levels of cyanide and iron in the San Sebastian River, proposed mining site of the Milwaukee-based company the Commerce Group.
Below is a translation of the updates posted on the MARN website.
Here is the link to the MARN website.
Here are pictures of the pollution in the San Sebastian River.
La Unión, July 14, 2012.
The results of water samples taken by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (MARN), which were collected two thousand five hundred meters from the bed of the San Sebastian River, in the area of the hamlet of El Comercio in Santa Rosa de Lima, confirmed the presence of cyanide and iron, among other substances.
The main source of contamination that was identified is a discharge of acid water that is rust colored following down from the higher ground on the Cosiguina mountain, an area where industrial mining was in operation for a number of decades.
The samples taken from various stretches of the river indicate that the contamination diminishes in concentration due to the increased water levels from the river during the rainy season. The MARN will carry out a similar study in the dry season to compare the impacts on this body of water.
There are a number of groups of individuals in the area who are mining on an artisanal scale, but it was ruled out that the quantities of cyanide and iron found in the runoff are related to these current practices.
At the petition of the Research of Investment and Trade Center (CEICOM), who associates the numerous causes of death in the locals of Santa Rosa de Lima with causes related to mining, the Vice-Minister of Environment and Natural Resources, Lina Pohl visited the hamlet of El Comercio this morning to see firsthand the investigations that the MARN was doing at the river.
The highest reading of cyanide found in the water flow was 0.450 milligrams per liter. The Salvadoran Compulsory Standard for Water for Human Consumption establishes a maximum limit of 0.05 milligrams per liter, which means that the quantities detected are nine times that amount.
Cyanide is a highly toxic substance for human beings and limits the development of aquatic life. This substance was used in the past in the mining process.
Another finding was high concentrations of iron. The highest reading of iron found was 393.4 milligrams per liter. For this substance, the Salvadoran Compulsory Standard for Water for Human Consumption establishes a maximum of 0.3 milligrams per liter. This means that the levels are over one thousand times the allowed limit.
During the last visit, MARN specialists, with the support of the Firefighters, opened two metallic containers that were left on private property used by the mining company.
In those containers 23 barrels and an un-determined number of bags with chemical substances, which were identified as sodium cyanide and ferrous sulfate, were found. Both of which are chemicals used in the gold extraction process. At this time, the stored materials do not represent a danger, even though they have potential for future danger.
After the tour of the mining area and visits to a number of points where springs of contaminated water begin their flow into the San Sebastian River further downstream, the Vice-Minister said "is is a very complex situation. We are finding a complicated relationship and history between the population and the exploitation of mining resources. This requires a comprehensive social-environmental vision."
Vice-Minister Pohl stated that they will continue with the investigations of the pollution in the San Sebastian River and in establishing mitigation measures for the impacts caused in this body of water.

Saint George, Patron Saint of Ethiopia
Anthropology	Art	Paintings
We're sure that many of you are familiar with the story of Saint George. As the Patron Saint of England, his legend is one well known across the country.
Even if you aren't familiar with George himself you'll have seen the cross of Saint George everywhere - from flags on government buildings to football strips.
Saint George isn't just the Patron Saint of England though. George's patronage extends to amongst others, Aragon and Catalonia, Georgia (unsurprisingly), Moldova, Palestine, and Ethiopia. In our collections from Ethiopia in particular, Saint George features prominently. So just why has the East African nation taken the Saint to their hearts?
Ethiopia, along with its neighbour Eritrea, is something of an exception in the Horn of Africa, in that it is a nation in which the majority of the population practices Christianity. Christianity in Ethiopia takes the form of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church which traces its roots all the way back to the Apostles. Made the official church of the Kingdom of Axum in the 4th century AD, making it one of the earliest nations to adopt Christianity, it has remained the dominant religion in Ethiopia ever since. In fact, the Kings of Ethiopia claimed descent from the biblical figures of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
Depictions of Saint George slaying dragons and beasts from horseback are common throughout Christianity, the decision to depict the saint with a darker skin tone, however, is not.
It is unclear quite how the story of Saint George first came to Ethiopia. Saint George is an important figure in the Middle East particularly in Palestine and Lebanon - it is said he was born in either the Levant or Cappadocia - and may have been introduced to Ethiopia by contact with other Oriental Orthodox churches such as the Coptic Church of Egypt.
The Biete Giyorgis is dedicated to Saint George and is considered the greatest example of the rock-hewn churches at Lalibela.
One thing that's very clear though is how important George is in the East African state. In the town of Lalibela, an important pilgrimage site for Ethiopian Christians, eleven churches were hewn from rock between the 7th century AD and the 13th century AD. This monumental task means that the churches are found in subterranean trenches with the earth around them excavated to create the form of magnificent church structures. The best preserved and best-executed church in Lalibela is the Biete Giyorgis, the Church of Saint George. Allegedly, this church was sculpted under the orders of Gebre Mesqel Lalibela - after whom the town is named - in the 13th century AD after Saint George visited him in a vision instructing him to do so.
Addis Ababa's cathedral is dedicated to Saint George, as is the city's leading football team. There's even a beer named after Saint George.
Saint George is a popular figure in Ethiopian iconography often appearing on horseback driving his lance or spear into the dragon he so famously slew. Just as George's role as a warrior saint made him a popular figure amongst knights and crusaders of Europe, his association with war and battle is prominent when examining our collection of depictions of George in Ethiopian art. The two paintings featured below depict Saint George at the heart of one of Ethiopia's most important historical moments, the Battle of Adwa.
Depictions of the Battle of Adwa are in ample supply thanks to the significance of the battle in Ethiopian history. In this painting, Saint George provides Ethiopian forces with divine inspiration from the heavens.
At the end of the 19th century, Africa had been carved up by the European powers at the Berlin Conference of 1884-85. All of Africa was claimed by European empires with the exception of two states, the Republic of Liberia and the Ethiopian Empire. Despite this, in 1895, the Kingdom of Italy invaded Ethiopia to further its colonial ambitions in the Horn of Africa. Despite initial Italian success, Ethiopian forces would rout their opponents at the Battle of Adwa in 1896, ending their imperial ambitions in Ethiopia. According to the historian Raymond Jones, Adwa stands out as one of the significant events of the 19th century as "In an age of relentless European expansion, Ethiopia alone had successfully defended its independence."
As above, this painting of the Battle of Adwa portrays Saint George, Emperor Menelik II, and Empress Taytu, leading Ethiopian troops into battle.
In both paintings, we see the amassed forces of Ethiopia and Italy facing off against each other across a battlefield. The Ethiopian forces are also led by the same three figures in both paintings - Emperor Menelik II, Emperess Taytu, and Saint George. Saint George soars above both scenes surrounded by a halo of red, green, and gold, the colours of the Ethiopian flag, granting divine inspiration to the forces of Ethiopia. In one case he even hurls his spears into the massed ranks of the Italian army.
The Battle of Adwa is commemorated to this day in Ethiopia as a national holiday, with public celebrations held in towns and cities across Ethiopia every year. Each year they celebrate the leadership of Menelik II, Tatyu, and of course Saint George.

What is the story behind your artwork?
I seek to present the history of a city, the space as it is being developed and reused over time.
I love history and the beauty of society.
What inspires you in day-to-day life?
If I can make someone smile, it makes my day. I want to lift up your spirits with my colours. Put you in a good mood, bring back your memories of when you travelled to the city I painted.
Why do you think it is important to support local artists?
It's a busy marketplace online and off with lots of run-of-a-mill reproductions at retail giants, so selling art is not an easy walk. There is more to art than just a price tag. It helps us put food on the table, but it helps the local community find its voice, its tone, its colour. It connects people. It cheers them up or calms them down, comforts or brings an element of wonder.
Visual artists are the equivalent of beautiful music to your ears. You can live without it, but how much better to pick the style you like and enjoy!

Bitterns: I was very excited to see bitterns at Minsmere in Suffolk. They are big birds (there is a stuffed one in the Horniman) and look rather odd, like primeval killing machines; they seem slow and heavy in flight. I've tried to suggest these things in the picture.

The fox and the moon: I wanted this to be quite an elemental picture: a wild animal out hunting, alone with the moon up in Space. I also like the way a gibbous moon seems to hang in the sky like an egg.
Allotment in June: I hope this picture, done at Grove Park, suggests the heavy lushness of a June afternoon on an allotment. Some people say not to use black in painting, but I use it like anything.
Spring flowers with quinces: I am inspired by the flower pieces of British painter Sir Cedric Morris (1889-1981), and I think this picture has something of a period feel. It contains tulips, narcissi, bluebells, cornflowers and woad.
Tulips with quinces and broccoli: I like the rich colours of tulips and the crazy shapes of the parrot ones. I grow them on the allotment - an easy early crop.
Gardens and allotments, wildlife and nature, paintings and ceramics.
Arts are about people expressing themselves and hopefully touching a chord with others. This doesn't have to be done in a grand gallery (though I like grand galleries too!).
I would like to see more people have original works of art on their walls - with the textures and brush strokes made by the artist - rather than mass reproductions. So they need to be able to see local work, and afford to buy it.
Finally, like most people, I live in the suburbs, and I suppose my pictures concern suburban things, which I think are neglected in favour of the urban, the rural and the maritime. So let's fly the flag for art in the suburbs!

These beautiful papercuts were specially made for the Horniman in 2008 as part of an exhibition we ran on the art of Polish papercuts. They are of the 'Gwiazda' type from the Kurpie region of Poland. Gwiazda means 'star' in Polish and these types of papercuts are made from a single sheet of coloured paper, typically featuring geometric designs.
The circular blue papercut has an asymmetrical picture of Mary and the baby Jesus in the centre, and geometrical design around them. The circular black papercut has an asymmetrical picture of a dancing couple from the Kurpie region in the centre, with a geometrical design around them.

Lynette Nampijimpa Granites Nelson
Lynette is a Warlpiri Indigenous Australian artist from Yuendumu, a town in the Northern Territory of Australia. Warlpiri country is east of the border between Western Australia and the Northern Territory in the Tanami Desert.
The painting below is titled 'Ngapa Jukurrpa' or 'Water Dreaming'. It is painted in white, red, ochre-yellow and black dot method typical of the Western Desert artists.
The concept of 'Dreaming' is among the most important in Indigenous Australian culture, and combines in one term (that cannot be easily translated into English) knowledge about the timeless prehistoric period of creation, the actions of supernatural beings and ancestors in the world, and the geographical features of the artist's homeland. A dreaming is part history, part theology, part literature and part geography lesson. Here is represented water falling and flowing across the land near Mount Theo.
Several other Warlpiri painters have painted their own interpretations of the 'Water Dreaming', but the works of Lynette Granites Nampijimpa are widely regarded as among the finest of all Indigenous Australian paintings from the later 20th century.

Toula Sykopetritis
These wonderful carnival dance costumes were made by Toula Sykopetritis and worn by her granddaughter, Maria Pieri, in the Limassol carnival in Cyprus.
One represents a bunch of bananas and was made for the 1989 carnival. It includes a pill box-shaped hat with a banana attached. The other costume was made for the 1991 carnival and is shaped like a bunch of pink radishes. There are padded radish shapes in pink fabric stitched to the surface of the body area, with some pieces of green fabric attached to represent foliage.

Buffy Cordero-Suina
Storytellers are important traditional roles in many Native American societies. This figure, from the Cochiti Pueblo in New Mexico, is a depiction of a Cochiti elder, mouth agape as the story unfolds, with children seated on his legs.
The first Cochiti potter to create a story-teller was Helen Codero, who was at the forefront of the Cochiti artistic revival in the mid-twentieth century. She felt that pottery vessels were not expressive enough of the Cochiti way of life and so began to make figurines of her grandfather and the stories he told, depicting the way in which the oral histories of the Cochiti people bind generations together.
This piece, produced in the early 1990s, was made by her granddaughter Buffy Cordero-Suina, a noted potter who produced many story-tellers.
Following her grandmother's death in 1994, she stopped producing pottery altogether.

Olive Blackham
This wooden string puppet is painted white with a papier mache headdress highlighted with gold pigment. The puppet wears a costume suggesting a Chinese or Japanese robe embroidered with two cranes, butterflies and flowers. Various strings attach it to a wooden suspension bar.
It was made by Olive Blackham (1899 – 2002) who has been described as a pioneer and a visionary, who elevated puppetry to a high art form. She lived near Birmingham where she set up her own full-time professional Puppet Theatre - The Roel Puppet Theatre – which was very successful.

Premier League clubs circle around John Terry
Earlier this week, John Terry announced that his Chelsea career will come to an end. The 'Captain, Leader Legend' is leaving the club. Here is the latest on the former England captains future.
After winning four Premier League titles, five FA Cups, three League Cups, one Champions League and one Europa League medal, John Terry decided that his time with the Blues is coming to an end thus summer.
Immediately after Terry's announcement, West Bromwich Albion were installed as the favourites to capture his signature. With big clubs circling around Jonny Evans, and Tony Pulis being known for his strong defences, it is no surprise that Terry has been linked with a move to the Hawthorns.
Terry may not be the player he once was, but he clearly still has a lot to offer. This is something that has been noticed by a number of Premier League managers.
Premier League interest
Today, the Mirror claims that West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has not ruled out a move for the defender. Despite an excellent season last year, they have struggled to compete this year, and aren't yet mathematically safe from relegation. However after a few decent results in the last few weeks, their Premier League status should be assured for the 2017/18 campaign.
The Baggies and the Hammers aren't the only clubs interested in Terry's services.
The Star says that Swansea boss Paul Clement is also interested. However, with the Swans currently in the drop zone, two points adrift of Hull in 17th, Terry is unwilling to drop down to play in the Championship.
According to The Times though, Terry would like to continue living in Surrey. This, according to the article, puts Crystal Palace and Bournemouth in pole position for Terry's services.
Latest Betting
With all the speculation, here is what the bookmakers think.
Bournemouth are now the bookmakers favourites at 11/8. Early favourites West Bromwich Albion have drifted to second favourites at 5/2.
He is then 9/2 to move to follow the money to the MLS or 7/1 to move to China. Newly promoted Brighton are 9/1 whilst West Ham are 12/1.

Whatever happens this summer, it's certain that there will be plenty of offers for the 36-year old up and down the Premier League.

How will the Open Library lawsuit balance consumer and producer rights?

Date: September 12, 2020Author: Chris Meadows 3 Comments
On The Nation, Maria Bustillos has a lengthy essay looking at the publisher lawsuit over the Internet Archive's Open Library, and why she thinks it's a bad idea and harmful not only to the purpose of libraries, but also to the idea of media ownership itself for everyone. It's an interesting read, but while I can agree in principle that libraries should have more rights in digital lending than they do, I still don't think the courts are going to see it that way. I'm not any kind of legal scholar myself, but the pattern of court decisions I've seen through the years just doesn't make it look promising.
Bustillos starts out by recounting all the good and useful things the Internet Archive has done in general, and I certainly can't argue with that list. I use the Wayback Machine fairly often myself, particularly when it comes to linking old TeleRead stories that somehow got lost in one of the blog's multiple server moves. But then she moves on to discussing the idea of Controlled Digital Lending.
Controlled Digital Lending, Bustillos argues, should already be within libraries' rights. It's simply a digital way to accomplish the same thing libraries already do with print books: buy one copy, lend one copy out. She links to Harvard copyright scholar and lawyer Kyle Courtney explaining that the copyright exceptions already granted to libraries should cover this kind of lending, too.
Then Bustillos closes in on what she sees as the real issue: ebook licensing. Since ebooks aren't sold but only licensed, publishers are able to bypass many of the first sale rights that consumers and libraries could take for granted in physical copies that they purchase. She sees this as part of a trend away from physical ownership that has come about as the Internet makes it easy to move digital data around. Where people once purchased physical media containing music, movies, etc., now they subscribe to monthly services to have access to it instead.
That rentier mentality is now reaching into the world of books. As [NYU law professor Jason Schultz, co-author of The End of Ownership] elaborated: "For each physical book that a library owns, it can lend it out to whomever it chooses for as long as it wants and the copyright owner has no say in how such lending happens. But here, because digital technology is involved, the publishers are asserting that they can control how/when/where/why libraries lend out digital copies.… In other words, they want to change the rules in their favor and take away one of the most cherished and valuable contributions that libraries make to society—allowing members of the public to read for free from the library's collection."
Harvard scholar Kyle Courtney also has a blog post from May elaborating on the matter of licensing. He complains that the Copyright Office's response to the COVID crisis was not to provide additional guidance on how libraries could make better use of their rights under copyright laws, but rather to expand licensing of digital media. He contends that libraries don't need licenses to make use of their lending rights provided by first sale law—as long as they paid once for the content, they should then be able to do whatever they want with it.
He also feels that the ReDigi first sale lawsuit decision, in which ReDigi was forbidden from reselling consumers' purchased MP3s, shouldn't affect libraries' rights to relend digital copies of print books, because those digital copies aren't the licensed MP3s that ReDigi turned on; they're space-shifted copies of physical media that the library itself owns. Courtney adds:
Secondarily, the ReDigi court raises a significant question as to whether using digitized copies of legally acquired books may be "transformative" in nature – a modern fair use test adopted by the U.S. Supreme Court. In the decision, examining the first factor of fair use, Judge Level, who established the concept of transformative fair use in a law review article, explained that a use can be transformative when it "utilizes technology to achieve the transformative purpose of improving delivery of content without unreasonably encroaching on the commercial entitlements of the rights holder." This sounds awfully close to correct analysis for modern libraries loaning digital copies of books.
Fair use and digital media have long been uneasy companions. This was examined at length in the 2014 House of Representatives hearings about first sale, in which multiple stakeholders including publishers, libraries, and ReDigi discussed the matter, with no really clear solutions visible. It doesn't exactly help that ebook stores seem to go to great lengths to hide the fact that consumers are only "licensing" ebooks when they think they're "buying" them.
But licensing of digital software and media has been going on for literally decades. Even before the consumer market, commercial software such as Bell Labs Unix was sold by license as far back as 1975. Once the nascent commercial PC software market got off the ground in the 1980s, it was quick to follow suit. Selling licenses allowed software companies to make sure they could be compensated per computer installation when software was easy to copy as many times as purchasers wanted. (Not that this stopped them from also implementing DRM to try to make the software less easy to copy.) So, you could say that one major purpose of licenses was to make an end run around first sale from the very beginning.
When commercial ebooks first came on the scene in the late 1990s, they were seen as being just another form of computer software, so they followed suit—setting the pattern for digital music and movies when they came out a few years later. And when you get right down to it, there doesn't seem to be an easy fix for that.
The whole reason first sale works for physical media is that the copyrighted work itself is indivisible from the physical artifact that can only be possessed by one person at once. Sure, you can copy the work (laboriously for books and other analog media, easily for digital media like CDs or DVDs that can be copied to computer bit for bit), but first sale doctrine doesn't apply when you keep the original but give a copy away. Pure digital media are nothing but copies; there's no physical artifact to serve as the token of ownership and nothing to prevent someone from selling or giving away as many perfect copies as they want while still keeping the "original". So, in order to make sure that the creators of the digital media get duly compensated for each use, we end up with digital media licenses.
Courts have had ample opportunity through the years to take a look at licensing's impact on first sale and throw it out or make adjustments—indeed, the whole reason first sale happened in the first place was to foreclose on an attempt to sell paper books with restrictive shrinkwrap licenses all the way back in 1908. But even after almost fifty years, we still have software licenses—and in Vernor v. Autodesk, the courts even ruled that they can bind third parties who never agreed to the original license.
As it now stands, first sale doesn't really differentiate between sale and rental or lending. It just says that as long as you've got the physical artifact, you can do whatever you want with it, as long as you aren't duplicating it for multiple uses at once. Duplicating it for just one use at a time isn't really addressed, because in 1908 that kind of thing wasn't even on the horizon. Perhaps there should be an explicit adjustment to first sale addressing space shifting and digital copies. But I don't think such a thing could come from the Open Library lawsuit.
It seems to me that courts have historically been reluctant to make sweeping changes to the status quo if they didn't really have to. Many court decisions, particularly Supreme Court decisions, have upheld existing laws, with words to the effect of, "It's not our job to make new laws. Go bother Congress about it." For example, in Eldred v. Ashcroft, the Supreme Court held that Congress could extend copyright terms as much as they wanted, as long as each individual extension was for a limited time. If people wanted copyright durations shortened again, they needed to apply to Congress to do that.
Kyle Courtney says that Controlled Digital Lending may be "transformative," but so what? Transformation (as part of the "purpose and character of the use" test) is only one factor of the four-factor fair use test, and if the other three factors weigh heavily against fair use, transformation is unlikely to be enough by itself to carry the decision. One of those factors is the effect on existing markets, and Controlled Digital Lending would effectively clobber the publishers' existing market for licensing ebooks to libraries. Given that the courts have never questioned the validity of digital media licensing so far, it seems doubtful they would be willing to wipe out a whole market that depends on it.
But then again, I could also be wrong. Sometimes the Supreme Court has not shirked from upsetting apple carts. In another landmark first sale case, Wiley v. Kirtsaeng, it effectively crippled publishers' regional market segmentation by ruling it was perfectly legal for consumers to import and resell editions of books that were sold at lower prices in areas with lower living standards. But I still stand by what I said last time I discussed this case: given how the my.MP3.com case fell out, which also revolved around space-shifting purchased media to allow consumers to make fair use of it, I have my doubts that the Internet Archive can expect any outcome in its favor.
Perhaps the fundamental problem is that our digital-era copyight laws are still stuck in the analog era, and the most we've been able to do to redress the differences is apply shackles to digital media and turn the crank to try to make them fit that Procrustean bed. Sometimes this can get a little ridiculous. For example, computers copy files into their memory as part of how they operate, and there are cases where those copies have been deemed to violate copyright law, because they are copies. Amid all this confusion, we end up with cases like the Open Library where two parties clash over differing interpretations of the law that seem to disagree with each other—because the law wasn't actually made to address this kind of issue in the first place.
Perhaps we need a complete revamp of copyright law from first principles, so they make more sense when dealing with easily copied digital files. But realistically, it seems unlikely that will happen. Publishers and studios have a lot more heft in modern society than they did when copyright law was originally codified, and it seems as though they take every opportunity they can to try to shift the copyright balance in their favor. I doubt that any "revamp" of copyright law that comes out of such an environment would be favorable to consumers.
Again, I'm very fond of libraries myself, and I do agree that if they could lend out digital copies of print books they buy, it could be a good thing for consumers. But it might also be a bad thing for publishers and authors, who we rely on to create that content in the first place. There has to be a balance between the rights of creators and consumers, and it remains to be seen just where the courts will place that balance in this case.

3 thoughts on "How will the Open Library lawsuit balance consumer and producer rights?"
David Rothman says:
Thanks to Chris for a well-written, thoughtful piece expressing his opinion. My own hope is that the library and publishing communities will rely less on litigation and more on new business models – including new ways of fairly compensating creators – while still respecting the doctrine of first sale.
Marion Gropen says:
New ways of compensating creators will have to prove themselves. So far, they have all failed, when it comes to music and books, at least.
Copyright is still the one that supports creators the best, and the one that supports the most creativity.
Thanks for your thoughts, Marion, as a publishing industry veteran. I agree with your concerns about fair compensation for creators. The approximately $1.6 billion that public libraries are spending annually on content is much too little. I would actually like to see far more money available for libraries to devote to books and other items. The public interest is foremost on my mind, but compensation for creators is also why I've been advocating the creation of a multi-donor national library endowment funded by people who, working together, could easily afford it while supporting their own pet causes. While new business models would help, they won't get too far without more money being available. Perhaps this is the big difference between LibraryEndowment.org's vision and so many others that have preceded it.

The processing stage of the real estate transaction commences immediately after the closing attorney receives the request for title. As there are many third parties who must be coordinated with in order to obtain all of the necessary information and documentation in time for the closing date, an experienced Florida real estate attorney will commence the processing stage as soon as possible after the receipt of the request for title. The file processing stage includes ordering tax information that shows the status of current and prior years taxes, loan payoff statements, surveys, homeowner or condominium association estoppel letters showing maintenance fees and any assessments, inspection reports, and certificates evidencing hazard insurance. In addition, at this stage the Florida real estate attorney orders the title search report from the title insurance underwriter and the lien and judgment search report from the lien search company.
After any and all title clouds have been cleared and the parties are ready to close the transaction, the Florida closing attorney will proceed to prepare all of the documents in order to close the transaction, which includes the deed, bill of sale, affidavits, FIRPTA certificate, and closing statement. In connection with this, if the buyer is financing the purchase, the buyer's lender will submit to the closing attorney its closing instructions so that the closing attorney can include all of the lender's charges, fees and escrows on the settlement statement. An experienced Florida real estate attorney will distribute drafts of all of the closing documents to all interested parties in advance of closing so that same may be reviewed, commented on, revised, if necessary, and ultimately approved well in advance of closing.

Syria continues drive to retake rebel strongholds as diplomacy suffers a setback
The New York Times reports: Syrian troops continued their drive on Saturday to retake rebel strongholds, even as there were indications that diplomatic efforts to end the violence could still prove elusive just days after Western officials had claimed a breakthrough.
Those officials had been encouraged by a United Nations vote last week in which Russia and China, after previously blocking Security Council action on Syria, joined a statement supporting an attempt to broker a cease-fire.
But on Saturday — a day before scheduled talks in Moscow with a United Nations envoy — a senior Kremlin adviser indicated that Russia continues to have a sharply different view than the United States and other Western countries, placing the main burden to stop the fighting on opposition forces, rather than the Syrian government.

This from Eric Margolis:
Washington's key objective in Syria is to overthrow the Asad regime in order to injure its closest ally, Iran. There is so much anti-Iranian hysteria now in the US, that any blow against the Islamic republic is seen as good. Former US fears of a chaotic, post-Asad Syria are now forgotten in the rush to undermine Iran, by destabilizing Syria. Republicans, led by Sen. John McCain, are baying for war against Syria as President Barak Obama tries to hold back the war hawks.
Israel, whose influence in Washington in this election year is unprecedented, is stoking war fever against Syria and Iran. Israel is delighted that the crises with both nations have eclipsed the issue of Palestine and of Syria's Golan Heights, which were illegally annexed by Israel in 1981. Golan supplies on third of Israel's total water. Israel's objective is to see Syria splintered into feuding cantons like today's Iraq.

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, Mary Shelley Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley (1797–1851) that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a grotesque, sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment.

In this way, the relationship between Victor and the Creature within the Frankenstein mythology is formally reflected in the story's twinned legacies in fiction and theatre. Consequently, as a cross-medium adaptation of Shelley's source text, Presumption is yet another of Frankenstein's many doubles.
The current, popular view of the novel Frankenstein is that it describes the horrors consequent upon scientific experimentation; the pursuit of science leading inevitably to tragedy. In reality the importance of the book is far from this. Although the evil and tragedy resulting from one medical experiment are its theme, a critical and fair reading finds a more balanced view that includes.

Distance typically throws a monkey wrench into a relationship. That is why lots of people watch out for committing to any long distance relationship. However, most couples tend to forget that relationship does not depend upon the physical location alone says Oxford Circus escorts.
Close proximity can often be suffocating while in a faraway relationship lots of good things can flower in the space between the couple. For this to happen, couples should concentrate on how things can end up right instead of house on what can go wrong. If you are trying to make your far away relationship work, have a look at the following suggestions.
A sexual relationship at the incorrect point of time has a negative bearing on a relationship. (This makes certain going to get a lot of flak from some readers, but sorry individuals, this is the truth!) This intimacy changes the formula especially when they are not yet all set to take the step. Once the limit is crossed the pressure on the relationship makes it more difficult to work things out as they move really rapidly in other areas. Typically, it results in a break up. Nevertheless, when a couple is far away, the pressure of physical contact is minimized. The relationship advances gradually making the couple understand each other better said Oxford Circus escorts from https://charlotteaction.org/oxford-circus-escorts.
In a cross country relationship, appropriate communication is very important. To keep things moving on, these relationships utilize a different line of interaction that is far much better than those who remain in close distance. That is due to the fact that the only method to hang around with one another in a faraway relationship is through interaction. When together, interaction can frequently develop into arguments. While this possible when apart, it is greatly reduced, given that there is more concentrate on the other person and less on oneself.
In a long distance relationship, friendship is the structure on which it is developed. No matter where they are located, a bond inevitably forms with an underlying emotional connection. In close proximity this valuable relationship is often eclipsed by intimacy. Thus, a support system, the bedrock of a relationship, which takes a while to develop, is missed out. In a cross country relationship, the couple wound up being buddies initially and enthusiasts later, so, both establish proper understanding. If you want your relationship to work no matter where you are, your partner must be your buddy, apart from being our fan according to Oxford Circus escorts.
Have faith in your relationship no matter where you are. If you think that your relationship is vulnerable even if of distance, you're going to destroy it with your very own hands. Live in the moment, enjoy the romance, and the rest will exercise for you. Stay away from rumors and unlikely stories about your partner, avoid suspicion, and the seed of romance will blossom into a thing of beauty.

Teachers, bystanders saved lives during California shooting with quick response at elementary school
ByAnna Swartz
On Tuesday, a man went on a shooting rampage in at least seven places around the rural Northern California community of Rancho Tehama, killing four people and wounding at least 10 others before police shot and killed him.
At one point, the man tried to enter a local elementary school — but the quick response of teachers and bystanders who rushed to help likely saved countless lives, experts say, and the gunman left the school deterred.
As of Wednesday morning, authorities had not yet released the identity of the suspected shooter, CNN reported, but Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston said the suspect was known to local law enforcement and had been arrested in January in an incident involving a neighbor. That neighbor, who had a restraining order against the suspected shooter, was one of the victims of Tuesday's shooting.

Sheridan Orr told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday night that the alleged gunman was her brother, 44-year-old Kevin Janson Neal, who had a history of sudden episodes of anger.
The gunman's path through the community of Rancho Tehama, just south of Redding and about 120 miles northwest of downtown Sacramento, seemed arbitrary, authorities said. According to CNN, Johnston said the gunman "armed himself, I think with the motive of getting even with his neighbors and when it went that far (that someone was killed) he just went on a rampage."
He allegedly shot people "at random" from his vehicle as he made his way from his home to Rancho Tehama Elementary, around 2 miles away, firing at other cars and homes on his way.
One of the people wounded was a mother who was driving her children to school when the gunman opened fire on her car. A child in the vehicle was also wounded, CNN reported.

At one point on his way toward the school, the gunman fired from his vehicle at Sara Gonzalez, who had just dropped her daughter off at the school. She told CNN she turned her car around and went back to the school to warn them, a potentially life-saving measure.
"I went to my daughter's school and started honking, making people know what was going on," Gonzalez said.
CNN reported that school staff acted quickly in response to the sounds of gunfire, putting the school on lockdown, bringing students inside classrooms and instructing them to lie down on the floor beneath tables and desks. A 10-year-old student told CNN that her teacher blocked the classroom door with a computer.
"All of the staff were absolutely heroic in making sure that students were getting into the classrooms as shots were being fired," Richard Fitzpatrick, superintendent of the Corning Union Elementary School District, said at a press conference Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles Times. "This was a question of minutes."
It was the quick response of teachers and staff that likely kept the situation from becoming much more deadly. "There's no question that the quick action within that school saved lives," Katherine Schweit, a violence prevention consultant and a former FBI official who specializes in active shooter situations, said by phone on Wednesday.
"Every second, you can send many rounds out of a gun. Every second. In six minutes, [one] can shoot hundreds of rounds. Every second counts when you are trying to save lives."
On Tuesday, as students lied on the floors of their classrooms, the gunman, who had crashed a pickup truck into the locked gates of the school and exited the truck with a semi-automatic weapon, fired into the walls and windows of the school building, Fitzpatrick said, according to the Los Angeles Times.
One student is in stable condition after being shot while under a desk. No students were killed. In addition to the rapid response from teachers and staff, at least one bystander stepped in to help as well.
Jessie Sanders told a local CNN affiliate that he ran to the school when he heard the sound of gunfire and tried to draw the gunman away from the building.
"When I get there, the dude was shooting through the windows," Sanders said. "And I said, 'Hey why don't you shoot this way instead.'" According to Schweit, this kind of reaction, while not especially common in active shooter situations, reflects the fact that in emergencies, some individuals make "brave and selfless decisions."
"That's what that gentlemen did," Schweit said. According to CNN, the gunman stayed at the school for six minutes before leaving, apparently "frustrated" that he couldn't enter the building.
Schweit, who has spent her career dealing with active shooter situations, said roughly a quarter of active shooter scenarios occur in schools, including in universities. The decisions made by people on the ground, ordinary people like teachers, parents and bystanders, are what help to save lives.
"What we do, and what we do with others around us, can keep others safe," Schweit said. "Every person has to critically think to themselves: 'I want to live, I want my friends and neighbors to lives, what can I do to make that happen."


Just as a damaged painting is delicately restored one small area at a time, or a photographic image is altered, pixel by pixel, Fraxel Re:Pair®® Laser Treatment improves your appearance by affecting only a fraction of your skin at a time with thousands of tiny microscopic laser spots.
Fraxel Re:Pair® Laser Treatment produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment in your skin, known as microthermal treatment zones. This treatment eliminates old epidermal pigmented cells. It also penetrates deep into the dermis. Just as important, though, are the areas of skin the Fraxel Re:Pair® laser leaves untouched. For every microthermal zone the laser targets and treats intensively, it leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected and intact. This "fractional" treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area were treated at once, using the body's natural healing process to create new, healthy tighter tissue to replace skin imperfections.
Fraxel Re:Pair® Laser Treatment can be performed right in your doctor's office using only topical anesthesia in most cases. If you are having a significant area of your skin treated, your doctor will develop a pain management approach to maximize your comfort during the procedure. Your doctor will prescribe a skin lightening regimen and give you pills to prevent a heroes outbreak before treatment.
Some patients are able to return to routine activities, including work and social obligations, the same day of treatment. Others require a little more time, depending upon their skin condition and treatment. Please consult your physician to understand how Fraxel Re:Pair® Laser Treatment will fit into your schedule.
Over the following weeks and months, the body repairs the deeper dermal tissues that have been affected by the Fraxel Re:Pair® treatment, producing longer beneficial changes associated with a healthy, youthful appearance.

Q: How can I move the identity/authentication part of my ASP.NET MVC web app into a class library? I have an ASP.NET MVC 5 web application, using ASP.NET Identity 2.1. I'm trying to move all the identification / authorization code out of the web project into a class library.
I moved all the boilerplate UserManager, SigninManager stuff out, and removed all the NuGet packages for ASP.NET Identity and OWIN from the web project (adding those to the class library).
I also moved the code from the Startup.cs and Startup.Auth.cs files into my class library. These contain the OWIN configuration stuff.
How do I now ensure that this code is invoked when the application starts up? In the original project, the Startup class (in Startup.cs) had a line like this:
[assembly: OwinStartupAttribute(typeof(WebApplication1.Startup))]

I've put a similar line (with the correct class name) in the equivalent file in my class library, but that seems to have no effect. Does this line have to go in the web app? (I which case, presumably I'd need to add the OWIN NuGet package back into the web project - something I'd hoped to avoid).
I also tried adding this to my web.config file:
<add key="owin:appStartup" value="MyClassLibrary.MyNamespace.Startup, My.DLL.Name" />

But again, I'm not sure exactly how that would work without something within the web project triggering it - which again comes back to adding OWIN to the web project.
I'm so confused - any help would be appreciated.

A: From the http://haacked.com/archive/2010/05/16/three-hidden-extensibility-gems-in-asp-net-4.aspx/
PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute
This new attribute allows you to have code run way early in the ASP.NET pipeline as an application starts up. I mean way early, even before Application_Start.
PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute is where Microsoft.Owin.Host.systemWeb gets initialised. Hence you need to add reference to Microsoft.Owin.Host.systemWeb in your web app.

Carbon8 recently launched one of its most unique and high-profile projects – RocketBuilder.com. United Launch Alliance (ULA) partnered with Carbon8 to design and develop a website that allows users to design and build rockets – just like customizing a car online. The purpose of RocketBuilder.com is to give customers the power to specify the ULA rocket they need to launch their satellite and be provided with fully transparent costs as well as the value tied to ULA's unique capabilities. As ULA CEO Tory Bruno said, "the sticker price on the rocket is just the tip of the iceberg." It was up to Carbon8 and ULA to remove the complexity and make it easy for a user to build a launch mission on a website.
The site provides customers more transparency when purchasing a rocket in terms of costs and savings tied to ULA's three value pillars: unmatched reliability, schedule certainty and orbit optimization. Users are in complete control of their build and have full access to the information and costs associated with variables like the spacecraft's mass, launch date, orbit and service levels. This transparency is unheard of in the launch business. It will revolutionize the industry, making space more accessible, affordable and commercialized.
Carbon8 and ULA worked closely to establish and perfect the design and programming. The goal of RocketBuilder's design was to create an interactive tool with which users could interact as simply as, well, building a car online. Carbon8's design team expertise created aesthetics that are modern, sophisticated and fresh. RocketBuilder.com easily fits within a marketplace that demands straightforward usability while its responsive, evolved design will continue to push ULA forward.
User experience was the highest priority as the website needed to work flawlessly between mobile, tablet and desktop and provide users with a completely consistent experience across all devices. Carbon8 successfully laid out a site to account for numerous images and content, while ensuring the best usability possible. The site was user-tested extensively and meticulously to ensure it was essentially flawless upon launch.
RocketBuilder.com was unveiled at a live press conference that ULA also streamed via its YouTube channel. The site saw a total of 8,063 sessions among 7,443 users on the first day, and the bounce rate among users was 21.88%, meaning about 78% of users navigated further into the site after landing on the homepage. RocketBuilder.com received positive feedback from the industry, public and media, earning positive social media posts and coverage in publications such as The Washington Post, The Verge, Mashable and CBS News, among many others.
