Video piracy is the illegal copying and distribution of copies of the audiovisual products (video production) protected by the copyright. Criminals use digital writing down equipment for larceny of films from the screens of cinemas. The groups which are engaged in the release of piracy production consist of private persons who get piracy copies from video thieves. Copies are spread through the Internet or used for manufacturing of DVDs for sale worldwide.
Many video thieves sell "master copies" to the "video laboratories". Then they are illegally duplicated on piracy optical disks, packed and prepared for sale in the black market, on the street trays worldwide, on the online auctions or even on the web sites in some days after their premieres in the cinemas.
An interesting tendency is observed when analyzing political situation of some countries. Recently, the increasing popularity was gained by the so-called piracy parties. They support cancellation of the copyright and full freedom of distribution of the information. One more general point of all international piracy parties is the requirement of inviolability of private life. Acceptance of the given requirement will considerably complicate calculation and conducting of judicial cases against those engaged in piracy.
The first piracy party has arisen in Sweden in 2006. In 2009, it has gained more than seven percent of votes on elections to the Euro Parliament. For today, there are more than forty piracy parties in the world, the majority of which are located in the countries of the European Union and also in the North America. It is remarkable that the greatest success of these parties was reached in those countries where the piracy level is rather low. It is possible to explain this tendency considering developed countries, which try to legalize piracy. At the same time, the citizens of the countries, where illegal distribution of digital goods is considered as a norm, do not see sense in giving piracy a legal status.
Modern world community has formed a negative attitude towards piracy. One of the main objectives of politicians is to struggle against infringement of copyrights. However, there are people who support legalization of noncommercial distribution of information, because this will allow distinguishing between the "pirates" who illegally copy films and programs for a narrow circle of users, and the ones who do it for commercial purposes.
Another way to fight against piracy is closing torrent trackers. Probably, almost each Internet user heard about scandal concerning "The Pirate Bay". By 2008, its number of users has reached three millions. The scandal began in 2009 and lasted during one and a half year. Finally,, it was forbidden for "The Pirate Bay" to render its services.
All forms of a piracy cause damage to the show business, economy of the films producing countries, and consumers.
As for the entertainment industry, six of ten films do not justify primary capital investments. Production of films is quite risky, and if pirates continue to plunder investors of the film industry, the production of films will be reduced.
Commercial success of services of lawful distribution of films through the Internet, such as Netflix, LOVEFiLM, Internet Movie Database and Blinkbox, proves technical efficiency of such films distribution. However, there always exists a temptation to take advantage of it. In July, 2010, the government of the United States closed nine web sites, offering free access to films. Sometimes, these sites gave access to the films right after their official appearance on the cinema screens. They received the same income as compared to many sites specializing on unapproved distribution of music. In May, 2011, it was informed that the company Voltage Pictures has brought an action against 24 583 users of BitTorrent, basically living in the United States, for illegal loading of a film "The Hurt Locker". According to estimations of the Korean Council of Cinematography, 50 percent of households in Republic Korea are engaged in unapproved loading of films. All this made the market of DVD-disks lose about 1 billion USD.
The film industry is an economic mechanism, which creates new workplaces and brings the contribution to economy of the film producing countries. However, piracy causes damage to economy of the countries that sell and broadcast films. Video piracy can supersede from the market of legitimate employers, owners of cinemas, video shops, so also their employees. The profit on such unauthorized activity often appears in hands of members of the organized criminal groupings, gangs and so forth.
Talking about consumers, who have access to the wide assortment of high-quality films with a rich cultural palette, it is quite necessary to liquidate piracy. Representatives of show business realize the potential of the new technologies, which will allow creating new fascinating production. However, constant threat of piracy can constrain introduction of innovations. Therefore, the problem of piracy concerns everyone as it has a huge influence on developing of the film industry.

Oinkers for Art event hogs spotlight
By Jeremy Erskine - jerskine@civitasmedia.com
Participants gathered to paint pigs as park of the Oinkers for Art competition thrown by the Preble County Art Association and the Preble County Pork Festival. Several local businesses and individual artist worked on their unique pig art at the Eaton Early Bird Farmer's Market at the corner of Barron and Somers Streets on Saturday, Aug. 29.
Jeremy Erskine | The Register-Herald
EATON — Several local businesses and artists got into the Pork Festival spirit early this year, taking part in the second annual Oinkers for Art tradition held at Eaton's Earlybird Farmer's Market on Saturday, Aug. 29.
The Preble County Art Association partnered with the Preble County Pork Festival as 10 businesses designed and painted a statue of a pig to be placed along the parade route for the next three weeks.
"The goal of it is community involvement on the art side and the festival side," said Vicky Fanberg, the executive director of the Preble County Fine Arts Center. "Last year was a great success so we did it this year and we are planning on next year, because everyone keeps being happy about painting these pigs."
The 10 participants were hand selected to participate in the contest, each group having to submit a design to the art center. The painted pigs will be voted on at the Pork Festival using pennies to pick the favorite.
A grand champion, runner-up, and honorable mention will be crowned. All three places will receive a cash award for placing in the competition.
"Really, the big picture is just getting the community involved and making public art as well as awareness of the pork festival too," said Fanberg.
Kelly McQueen, an owner of Opti-Vise on Main Street saw the event as a fun way to support the local art center as well as the community.
"It's a lot of fun," she said. "We wanted to have a pig to sit right outside our front door. We saw everyone else's' pigs and we wanted one. We thought it would be just a fun way to support the community."
Their company is a data backup solutions company, which was the inspiration for their design as they painted their pig with binary code and called it the "Data Hog."
The Eaton Fire Department and EMS were also there, painting a pig disguised as a Dalmatian in a fire suit.
"The chief is all for the community and doing whatever we can to be involved. He thought it would be a good opportunity," said Leann Matthews, a firefighter and paramedic (and Reid Hospital commercial starlet).
A former Eaton resident, Peggy Schuning, was commissioned by Downtown Eaton, Inc. to create a design that captured all the events in the community. She emblazoned her pig with the logo for the farmers market, and old classic car, a flower to represent Adopt-a-Pot, and a scene to showcase the White Christmas event at the courthouse.
The pig painting, Schuning joked, was a blast from the past and allowed her art career to come full circle.
"It's been great. When I was in third or fourth grade, I remember picking up an old corn stalk when I was walking home from school and I used that for the create-a-pig contest. I feel like it's coming to fruition," she said. "Create-a-Pig when I was a little kid and I'm painting a pig now as an adult artist."
Kristine VanderSchaaff and the Ott Family joined the local businesses and organizations which included Greenbriar Nursing Center, Twin Valley FFA, Eaton Fire and EMS, Essence of Wellness, Downtown Eaton, Inc., Opti-Vise, the Preble County District Library, and the Citizens to Protect Preble County Children in the event.
The pigs will be placed in front of the following businesses: Just Teasin', Barnes Funeral Home, Murphy's Insurance, Dale's Recreation, Richland Interior, Habitat for Humanity, Opti-Vise, Remagan, the Eaton Library, and US Bank.

St. Joseph Moli standard six results improved over last year's results. Some of them even qualified at national secondary schools level. Others at various secondary schools, boasted a 100% pass level.
A concerned parent said that the progress was the result of less disturbances by villagers with other villages having strict rules. And with the help of those who teach, they are improving in other areas of their learning.
The father said that these children can even do better if parents give support rather than ignoring them.
Since the Bobo night activity comes to a stop, there is also less disturbance at school areas.

Interstate Bridge's Crack Likely Dates Back to 1970s
It went undetected for years.
Andrew DeMillo
This undated photo released by the Tennessee Department of Transportation shows a crack in a steel beam on the Interstate 40 bridge, near Memphis, Tenn. The crack in a steel beam that forced the closure of the Interstate 40 bridge connecting Arkansas and Tennessee for three months likely began when the span was fabricated in the 1970s and went undetected for years, a report by Arkansas' Transportation Department released Thursday, Nov. 11, 2021, said.
Tennessee Department of Transportation via AP, File
LITTLE ROCK Ark. (AP) — A crack in a steel beam that forced the closure of the Interstate 40 bridge connecting Arkansas and Tennessee for three months likely began when the span was fabricated in the 1970s and went undetected for years, a report by Arkansas' Transportation Department released Thursday said.
A forensic investigation by an outside firm hired by the department said the crack occurred in a weld between two plates during the bridge's fabrication. Those welds were more susceptible to cracking because of the type of steel and welding method used then, the department said.
"In all likelihood the cracking in the weld occurred within hours of its completion but was not detected by any post-weld repair fabrication testing and remained unchanged for a number of years," the department's report said.
The crack had been visible in 2016, and an inspector who had missed it was fired by the department in May. The report said the weld fracture initially was not visible by conventional inspection and was not caught by an ultrasonic inspection in 1982.
The I-40 bridge spanning the Mississippi River was shut down May 11 after inspectors found the crack in one of two 900-foot (275-meter) horizontal steel beams critical to the bridge's structural integrity. Road traffic had been diverted to the nearby Interstate 55 bridge — about 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) south of the I-40 bridge — during the I-40 bridge's repairs. The bridge fully reopened in August.
The department released the forensic investigation, its review of the crack and a review conducted by the Federal Highway Administration as it announced changes to its bridge inspection program. The U.S. Department of Transportation's inspector general is also conducting an investigation and has interviewed Arkansas bridge inspection employees.
"We will now move forward with confidence and make the changes necessary to improve our program so that the past will not be repeated," Arkansas DOT Director Lorie Tudor said in a statement.
The problems with the weld were not detected when ultrasonic testing was performed on the bridge's girder welds in 1982 because of defects found with similar bridges. The initial fracture occurred on the interior face of the box where it was not visible by conventional inspection. The report said the fracture spread in phases, starting with the weld, until it was discovered in May.
A department spokesman said two officials with the inspection program — state heavy bridge maintenance engineer Michael Hill and staff engineer Stewart Linz — retired Wednesday. The department said it was placing its heavy bridge maintenance section under new management and is reorganizing the inspection program.
The reports and the retirements were first reported Thursday by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
The fired inspector had missed the crack in 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2020. Another inspector who had missed the crack in 2018 had never inspected that portion of the bridge before, and the department said he has been "verbally counselled" and will receive additional training.
The department's report said the agency's failure to adequately respond to employees concerned with the fired inspector's job performance "perpetuated a culture where team members did not feel they had the authority or support to question a lead inspector's procedures or thoroughness."
The department also said under its changes that "fracture critical" bridges like the I-40 span will not be inspected by the same person consecutively.
I-40 runs from North Carolina to California. Manufacturers and shippers rely on the interstate to move products and materials across the Mississippi River. About 50,000 vehicles typically travel across the bridge in a day. Arkansas is responsible for the bridge's inspections and Tennessee is responsible for maintenance and repairs.
The closure was expensive for the trucking industry, with the Arkansas Trucking Association at one point saying the closure cost the industry about $2 million a day.
Arkansas said the repairs to the bridge and inspections following the closure cost $10 million.
The Arkansas report said it was "highly unlikely" that a similar crack would occur on the bridge, but said the bridge's welds will continue to be inspected at arm's length and that ultrasonic testing should be done periodically.

Q: Issue with X-editable when used with Footable compact view I hope that somebody can help. I've got an issue whereby I've got an x-editable link on a footable which works when used on a desktop browser, but not on a mobile device. This can be replicated by simply reducing the width of the browser, as footable hides columns and gives the option to expand downwards to see the hidden columns.
I have created a JSFiddle here: fiddle
Specifically the issue is that even though the link is present in the expanded compact view, no amount of clicking will render the x-editable input for the link. Oddly when I have encountered this issue on my own server, when you go back into full width browsing there are multiple instances of the x-editable input box visible, but I can't replicate this behaviour in the fiddle.
Let me know if you need any clarification!
Thanks in advance.
This is the code:

                Col1

                Col2

Mayor starts campaign, shuns forum
By Phil Willon and Martha Groves
An Eastside street corner was alive with mariachis, folklorico dancers and a pumped-up Antonio Villaraigosa on Saturday afternoon as the Los Angeles mayor kicked off his reelection campaign -- and skipped an invitation to face off with a group of his mostly unknown challengers across town.
As hundreds of supporters cheered Villaraigosa with "Si se puede!" -- yes we can -- the candidates running against him pelted the mayor with allegations of corruption and tawdry ties to the city's powerful labor unions, winning sporadic applause from 80 people at Holman United Methodist Church in the Jefferson Park neighborhood.
The dueling events typified a mayoral race that has been largely nonexistent, without the campaign ad wars and raucous debates of past elections, and with the first-term mayor feeling no need to debate or even acknowledge the underfunded, long-shot candidates running against him.
"I have a great deal of respect for anybody who's willing to put it on the line and run for office, and I certainly respect that fact that these candidates are doing that," Villaraigosa said after the rally. "But I'm going to talk to voters, I'm going to talk to the people about our record and, importantly, what we intend to do in the next four years."
Villaraigosa spent months campaigning hard during his first runs for mayor, two bitterly fought contests against the likes of former Mayor James K. Hahn, former Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg and former Councilman Joel Wachs. Villaraigosa lost to Hahn in 2001, then beat him in 2005.
This time around, though, he didn't even open his campaign office until Saturday, with the March 3 primary election less than four weeks away.
Villaraigosa's most notable challenger is business attorney and real estate broker Walter Moore, who has never held an elected office and placed fifth in the 2005 mayor's race. Villaraigosa had raised $2.7 million in campaign funds by mid-January. His challengers: $215,343, almost all of it by Moore.
Seven of the nine candidates trying to unseat the first-term mayor attended Saturday's candidates' forum sponsored by the National Assn. for Equal Justice in America, among them a socialist, a meat packer and the blogging City Hall gadfly David "Zuma Dogg" Saltsburg.
Saltsburg spoke out against "fraud, waste and abuse."
"The city is under attack from corrupt politicians," he said. "I don't like the way the city is being run."
Moore drew applause when he said Los Angeles "used to be a good place to live. Now it's . . . run-down, with two classes: the crony class and the taxpayer class." Moore, who had raised $202,548 and has qualified for $43,000 in city matching funds, has been the most outspoken critic of the mayor for refusing to debate. Candidates who receive matching funds must participate in at least one debate -- but Villaraigosa opted not to accept matching funds.
The candidates didn't agree on much, but they railed against Measure B, the Villaraigosa-backed $3-billion solar energy proposal on the March 3 city ballot. Candidate David Hernandez said the measure would give the mayor and City Council direct influence over Department of Water and Power rates. Others said it would give a monopoly to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the union that represents DWP employees.
The youngest candidate, Carlos Alvarez, 22, called for creating thousands of union jobs at a minimum pay of $15 an hour. Craig X. Rubin, a pastor, suggested the city build a desalination plant and abide by the Ten Commandments.
Across town in Boyle Heights, city and state elected officials gushed about Villaraigosa's record as mayor, crediting him with a 23% drop in violent crime since he took office and for fighting to improve the city's public schools and the environment.
"It is great to see our mayor be a leader here on the Eastside, in the city, in the state and throughout the nation," Monica Garcia, president of the Los Angeles Unified School District board, shouted to a crowd packed inside Villaraigosa's Eastside campaign office.
Villaraigosa fired up the crowd with a 20-minute speech, talking about growing up in East L.A. and receiving some of the biggest cheers when he talked about his ongoing push to improve the public schools.
He began, however, with an apology -- a reference to the highly publicized affair that broke up his marriage, though he did not mention it directly.
"I'm sorry about the mistakes that have been made," Villaraigosa said. "But one thing about me, I've always stayed focused on this job. I've always stayed focused on the central purpose of public service."

The author was very passionate about writing since childhood. She was found lost in dreams and imagination often. Eva told readers that it is not essential to get A grades in every writing class to become a successful writer.
The story of the quantum curators and the fabergé egg: an alternate history, time-travel adventure is quite interesting. It is about Quantum curators. When a delicate egg brightened in the light, everyone ran after it.
She has explained that she was not much inspired by anyone and started writing. But if we talk about writers' work, she is impressed by Stephen King's books. She said that I ran out of books by him as I read almost all of his books in Brazil.
One interesting fact about Eva is that she says that I have never met a writer's block ever in my life. Further, she added that I wrote my novel every day without any interruption for six months as she believes that one can write better when the momentum is inflow.

You Can Draw in 30 Days : The Fun, Easy Way to Learn to Draw in One…
She explains that it is not easy to be a writer. Plenty of efforts are required to sketch characters in mind and arrange them in the shape of a meaningful story.
Neith Salah is one of them, a quantum curator. Her mission is to get the egg while she doesn't know how it looks, what its benefits and even the place of its presence. The only thing she knows is that it is a thing found on her earth so that she would have it at any cost.
Julius Strathclyde is also a resident of the same earth. He has a deep love for tea and research. Moreover, he is a Cambridge professor. But the sad thing here is that he is the only man on the earth who knows where the egg is.
Neith has an attitude and guns, while Julius has a fountain pen, so if they both work together to find out the location of the egg, they can reach it before any enemy could reach there.

MONTANEZ CELEBRATES RETURN TO AFFILIATED BASEBALL WITH 4-FOR-5 GAME
One game cannot tell the full story, but another tuneup in Independent Baseball may be on its way to a successful ending in the affiliated game.
Outfielder Lou Montanez, who was in the major leagues for part of every season between 2008 and 2011 (Baltimore and the Chicago Cubs), had the first Independent stint of his 14-year professional career this season, and when he got back to the affiliated game on Thursday broke in with a 4-for-5 performance that included a home run, double, four RBI and three runs.
Montanez drove in 41 runs in 52 games for the Somerset (NJ) Patriots (Atlantic League) before the Los Angeles Angels purchased his contract and sent him to Arkansas (North Little Rock) of the Class AA Texas League.
"It was a blessing that the Angels saw something good in me in Independent ball and gave me the opportunity, the 31-year-old told MLB.com. "I'm grateful. It's always good to start on a good foot. I can't lie, I had a lot of nerves today, some anxiety, but good things happened and it worked out to my advantage."
SINNERY'S ALL-STAR DEBUT
Right-handed pitcher Brandon Sinnery, whose pro career started in Independent Baseball and is in his first affiliated season in '13, worked two-thirds of a scoreless inning (one hit) to help the East to a 6-5 Midwest League All-Star victory in Dayton, OH this week.
Listed at 6-foot-4 and 170 pounds, the 23-year-old spent last season building a 9-2 record between Lincoln, NE (American Association) and London (Waterford, MI) of the Frontier League before Arizona signed him in the offseason. He is 4-2, 2.87, mostly as a starter, for South Bend, IN.
SECOND CHANCE IN SHORT PERIOD FOR STRIKEOUT KING
Mike Recchia got a short look in Baltimore's minor league spring training camp this year after breaking the 20-year-old Frontier League record with 177 strikeouts and being named the league's top pitcher last season for his 11-3, 2.51 campaign with Windy City (Crestwood, IL). He is getting another opportunity now after taking the lead in Frontier League strikeouts again with the ThunderBolts, this time with his contract purchased for the Chicago White Sox farm system.
Recchia was one of a trio of Frontier League players purchased by major league organizations for their farm systems this week.

KENSING BACK IN MAJORS, KINNEY LIKELY ON THE WAY
'NEARLY UNHITTABLE' NIX LEAVES SUGAR LAND FOR TRIP...


From a very young age, I dreamed of being a songwriter. As a teenager, I listened to a lot of Elton John and was constantly intrigued by Bernie Taupin's amazing lyrical talent. I grew up and became a professional writer – but did not pursue songwriting (until later) – however, I was subliminally influenced by my grandfather, Frank "Frankie" Parrish. Frankie Parrish was a tenor vocalist, guitarist and songwriter in many of the Big Bands during the 1930 and 40s and recorded on the Brunswick and RCA Victor labels.
He performed with the Charlie Davis Orchestra, Buddy Rogers' Orchestra, Abe Lyman and His Californians, Jimmy Grier's Cocoanut Grove Orchestra, the Madrigueras Orchestra, Emery Deutsch Orchestra, Xavier Cugat, Joe Rines and other popular acts. In the 1950s he had his own radio show on WIRE in Indianapolis. While I unfortunately never knew him (he died before I was born), I feel grateful to have inherited a piece of his beautiful passion for music.
In recent years while sifting through volumes of family history working on a biography about his life and his music, I decided it was time to turn my writing abilities into a long overdue songwriting dream. I bought a guitar, started playing, songwriting and reacquainting myself with the 10 years of piano I took as a young girl. It gives me endless joy to create something tangible from a simple pen and piece of paper that transforms into beautiful sounds that touch my soul. When I share my music with others and they think I am writing about them personally, it inspires me to keep writing more.

Give me an "A"! On Cheer Coach Day we thank the coaches who bring their never-ending energy and enthusiasm to coach our cheerleading squads. School and team spirit wouldn't be the same without you! Crowd cheers during sporting events dates back to as early as 1877 at Princeton University, and the first known instance of designated "Cheer Leaders" dates back to 1897, also at Princeton.

Are Children Safe Around Electric Pet Fences?
Before installing an electric pet fence, you may be wondering if it is safe to do so with young children around. The simple answer is—yes! However, there are simple precautions that you might want to consider before installing the fence around children. The benefits of installing an electric pet fence far outweigh any negative aspects. Pet Stop of Columbus in Columbus, OH, has been professionally installing electric pet fences for over 19 years. Their highly-trained, dedicated staff would be happy to answer any questions you have.
Just like you need to teach your pets about the boundaries you've set with the electric pet fence, it is equally important to teach your children where the fence is located and to know the limits of the yard. This is beneficial not only to keep them from coming in contact with the electric pet fence, but to also teach them to stay in the yard and not to run out into the street or leave without adult supervision.
One easy way to ensure that your children do not come into contact with the electric fence is to turn the power off when your children are playing outside; you could keep your pet inside during this time or on a leash. This is not a necessity but rather for your own peace of mind. The fence will not harm your children, but it will most likely be an unpleasant surprise. Children are incredibly intelligent and intuitive and if they do end up shocking themselves, it is safe to assume that it will not happen again.
Fortunately, you can install an electric pet fence and feel good knowing that it will not harm your children. The truth is, no human will be harmed by simply touching or crossing the fence. Many people who are unfamiliar with these fences believe they will be harmed just by coming into contact with the fence, but unless they are holding the dog collar probes between their fingers while walking across the wire, they will only receive a small shock that will be more unexpected than painful.


Prestwick Airport saw a drop of nearly 20% in passenger numbers in July, compared with the same month last year. Infratil, the Ayrshire airport's owners said there were 37,800 fewer passengers during the crucial first month of the school summer holidays.
New Zealand-based Infratil said the July passenger numbers fell from 194,500 last year to 156,700 this year. In recent years, the number of passengers at Prestwick topped 230,000 during the month in both 2007 and 2008.
