Q: Graphic effects library for Core Graphics? I've reached a point were I can't keep procrastinating the writing of the graphics part of an iPhone app.
What has kept me from digging into it so far has being that it feels hard to figure out how to realize my idea of having "glowing", "sparkling" effects on some lamps. I used to be good at such things back in the days of the Amiga scene. But today I'm clueless. Now I can see that there are so many iPhone apps with completely stunning graphic effects. So. I'm wondering if someone knows about available libraries for creating those? Open source preferably, but I'm willing to pay some for it if it comes to that.

A: The easiest approach may be to render all your effects as PNGs with transparency in a drawing/painting program and just position/build/animate them on the iPhone itself. This will work for glows, particles and similar effects.
CGImage is the fastest rendering source for image data and you can either layer them manually in a single view (by positioning and drawing yourself) or draw to separate UILayers and use the layer to animate.

A: Maybe SDL could be helpful.
EDIT: just for motivation

Today's inbox inspiration is coming to you from sunny Spain!
Why you ask? Because my family is on a very special vacation to honour my one and only son who graduates from the University of Waterloo with a degree in Computer Science this June. This was no small feat as it was a 5 year co-op program that challenged our whole family….. he lived in BC and California on 2 of his work terms…lots of touch and go moments…as I'm sure you can appreciate. Hubby and I are very proud, to say the least!
As much as I'm busily launching several wonderful programs including a magical retreat to Tuscany…I chose to disconnect from my very active social media presence and maintain just a few communications with my team to keep my biz running.

When you need cleaning, maintenance, or repair for your solar energy system, contact Southwest Ultra Clear for commercial and residential solar cleaning services in Las Vegas.
Is your solar energy system covered in dust, dirt, debris, or bird droppings?
When was the last time your panels were professionally treated?
Have you noticed that your solar panels are not running efficiently?
Are you depending on rainfall to clean your panels?
Solar panels are designed to capture sunlight and then convert it to usable electricity, so anything that limits the ability of the panels to capture this sunlight will decrease the amount of generated electricity. Dust, dirt and debris regularly build up on the surface of your solar modules. Systems located near agricultural land, industrial areas, and heavily used roadways and highways are at greater risk for build-up of debris.
Natural and unnatural particles collect on the surface. Plant, tree pollen, bird droppings, moss or fungus, suet from airplanes, and ash from fires can greatly reduce the efficiency of your power source. All of this debris can travel hundreds of miles with the wind leaving your solar panels in need of a good deep cleaning from the professionals at Southwest Ultra Clear.
Solar panel cleaning in Las Vegas and Southern Nevada insures your home or business solar panel systems will be operating at peak performance. Therefore, more electricity is produced by the solar panels, which means lower energy bills and savings that go directly to you. Routine maintenance can mean the difference between your system working effectively or not.
Proper cleaning is vital for maximum solar energy output. Soil buildup can reduce array output by 20% or more. When your solar panels are clean, well maintained, and in excellent condition, you are protecting the investment and helping your panels to run more efficiently. You will immediately notice the difference.
With over two decades of experience, Southwest Ultra Clear is a fully licensed solar panel cleaning agency. Every member of our distinguished team is highly trained and certified. All of our industry leading equipment – including full body harnesses and safety ropes – is OSHA regulated. Employee safety is our number one concern. As your dedicated Las Vegas window cleaning company, we pride ourselves on our impeccable safety record.
We apply industrial agents that cleans the solar panels and rids them of dirt, dust, and air-borne pollutants for a durable clean finish. This technique causes the water to bead up and drain away, allowing the solar panel to dry with minimum spots. Our cleaning solution contains first rate biodegradable compounds which can increase the solar panels power output. This leaves the panels incredibly clean with a virtually spot-free surface.
Southwest Ultra Clear offers routine Las Vegas solar panel cleaning services for residential or commercial property. Our service prevents debris from building up on the surface of your solar panels, maintaining efficiency and potentially saving you thousands of dollars. This ongoing service is a necessary part of your solar panel system maintenance health and meets all manufacturer warranty requirements.

I'm trying to burn an AVI file to DVD (to play on a DVD player). The picture plays fine but I'm getting a 'stuttering' audio track.
- I'm burning to a 4.7GB DVD-R using a HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA11N drive.
What app are you using to convert the avi file to DVD format? I hope not Toast.
Yes I am using Toast to convert the AVI file to DVD.
I'm simply dragging the AVI file into toast and then it converts it before burning.
I have done this before, in the past, without any problems at all but this time it doesn't want to work.
How would you suggest I do it?
I would use Movie Gate or Visual Hub. If Toast is what you use then lets try once more. Instead of burning to disc have Toast save it as a disc image. Mount the image and play it with DVD Player app. Still have audio issues?

Allied is a period romantic-thriller from acclaimed filmmaker Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, The Polar Express). The film was produced by Robert Zemeckis, Graham King, and Steve Starkey. Set during World War II and starring Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard, Allied is a must-see feature.
The story takes place in the early 1940's. World War II is underway. Max Vatan (Brad Pitt), who works as a Canadian intelligence officer, is sent on a secret mission that involves fighting the Nazi's. Occurring outside of Casablanca, Max goes up against the Nazi party alongside a member of the French resistance: Marianne (Marion Cotillard). The two work together, pretending to be a married couple as they go on their secret mission.
Yet the pair quickly start to become enamored with each other while on the mission. It isn't long before they fall in love. When the mission is complete, they start a family together. Yet when Max is brought news by his superior officer Frank Heslop (Jared Harris) that Marianne might actually be a French spy working with the Nazi party things become complicated between the two: Max must try and prove Marianne's innocence and he sets out to save his family.
The film is immaculately produced on virtually every level of production. This is a breathtaking film with great production design by Gary Freeman (Everest, Maleficent). The sets are stunning with great work done by all involved. They effectively recreate the time with the backdrop of WWII. The cinematography by longtime Zemeckis collaborator Don Burgess (Forrest Gump, Spider-Man) is beautiful to behold. This is a lovely looking film: every frame looks stunning.
The music score was composed by the great Alan Silvestri (Back to the Future, Castaway, The Avengers, Captain America: The First Avenger). Silvestri has had a long history of composing the music for the films of Zemeckis and their wonderful cinematic legacy of working together continues with this effort. The music in the film is quite good with excellent use of jazz for certain segments while having a more upbeat score for the action and dramatic sequences.
The costume designs by Joanna Johnston (Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, The Sixth Sense, Lincoln) are some of the best to be featured in any film produced this past year with a vast array of beautifully designed gowns for Marion Cotillard to wear and luxurious suits and casual wear for Brad Pitt. The outfits fit the time-period with perfect grace and style: Johnston's effort brings to mind classic Hollywood in a way that just isn't seen as much these days. A brilliant effort on her part.
Allied also has some of the best special effects and visualization work done in a period drama to date. Though the film often feels organic and natural, many scenes utilized cutting-edge special effects to compliment scenes. Zemeckis is a true master of understanding how to work with special effects artists and the quality of the work demonstrated here is a true joy to behold.
The screenplay was written by Steven Knight (Eastern Promises, Dirty Pretty Things, Locke). Knight gives the film a remarkable story that is enthralling and entertaining from beginning to end. Though the film is partly a suspense-thriller at its core it's a love story. A beautifully told love story is at the center of what the film is all about and that aspect elevates the film to even greater heights.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Contact), Allied is another exemplary work of cinema from one of America's greatest filmmakers. Zemeckis's efforts are so fine-tuned and impressive that he almost makes it look easy. He's one of the best filmmakers in the entire industry and this is another excellent film from the master director. Allied is a strong WWII picture and one that any Zemeckis fan should strongly consider a must-see event.
Allied arrives on Blu-ray from Paramount with a stunning 1080p high definition presentation in the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.40:1 widescreen. This MPEG-4 AVC presentation has a strong bit-rate and is a quality encode with great color reproduction, depth, and overall clarity. It's a beautiful looking film with an equally beautiful presentation. This is a first-rate transfer which will please fans of the film.
The audio is presented in English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. This is a strong 24 bit lossless audio presentation which preserves the quality sound design and the score music by Alan Silvestri. The music sounds terrific on the release and has a beautiful, jazzy sound. The soundstage is big with great action sequences that have an enveloping presentation.
Subtitles are provided in English SDH (for the deaf and hard of hearing), French, and Spanish.
Please Note: This is a Blu-ray + Digital HD combo pack release.
Story of Allied (5 min., HD) features interviews with director Robert Zemeckis and screenwriter Steven Knight about the storytelling of the film.
From Stages to Sahara: The Production Design of Allied (10 min., HD) explores the elaborate production design crafted for Allied.
Through the Lens: Directing with Robert Zemeckis (9 min., HD) features Zemeckis and other cast and crew members discussing the director's approach.
A Stitch in Time: The Costumes of Allied (9 min., HD) features costume designer Joanna Johnston as she discusses her work and showcases design sketches for the film.
'Til Death Do Us Part: Max and Marianne (6 min., HD) centers upon the romantic love story between the lead characters.
Guys and Gals: The Ensemble Cast (5 min., HD) focuses on the great supporting performances.
Lights, Pixels, Action: The Visual Effects of Allied (10 min., HD) is all about the excellent visual effects work done throughout the film.
Behind the Wheel: The Vehicles of Allied (4 min., HD) showcases the impressive vehicles which were featured in Allied.
Locked and Loaded: The Weapons of Allied (4 min., HD) is about the weaponry that is used in telling the story.
That Swingin' Sound: The Music of Allied (7 min., HD) features composer Alan Silvestri and director Robert Zemeckis discussing the music of Allied and their long collaboration in film together.
Allied is one of the best films of the year. It's a great action-thriller with a romantic heart. The performances by stars Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard are excellent. Superbly directed by Robert Zemeckis, Allied is a must-see motion-picture that is a slickly produced throwback to classic-era Hollywood productions but with a modern-sensibility and cutting-edge special effects. It's a high quality WWII film with a great story to tell.

Seaton-Colyford green wedge
EDDC response to new Government planning targets could threaten Green Wedge between Seaton and Colyford
Posted on September 11, 2018 Updated on September 11, 2018
A new EDDC strategy document, Principles For Accommodating The Future Growth Needs Of East Devon, does not propose the Seaton area as an area of large-scale growth, but still raises the spectre of developing the Green Wedge between Seaton and Colyford and bringing the reserve site near the Wetlands (removed from the Local Plan) back into play for housing:
8.11 Seaton – The town is constrained by topography particularly to the east and west but there is some limited scope for growth to the north of the town. The capacity to the north of the town would depend on the extent to which developing in the existing green wedge separating the town from Colyford would be accepted. The local plan had included a reserve site which still has potential while the allocated site for employment and community purposes has not come forward and may need looking at again. Clearly there are sensitivities to the north of the town in terms of the landscape given that it is rising land but also with the green wedge designation between Seaton and Colyford.
Background The Government is setting targets for each district which in East Devon will mean around 844 extra homes per year. The document also says that to 'also achieve Members aspiration to deliver one job per home we will also need to deliver enough employment space to accommodate at least 844 jobs per year.'
EDDC welcomes this growth as a way of offsetting the effects of austerity; 'The continued growth of the district and the future incentives form a vital element in the mitigation of the future financial pressures anticipated from 2020/21 as detailed in the financial plan.' It even claims that 'Continued growth is required to finance the councils Habitat Mitigation Strategy as well as other local infrastructure investment.' (Growth is required to mitigate the effects of growth!)
Problems Neither this paper nor the Greater Exeter Strategic Plan consultation document included in the same papers (which EDDC was unhappy with and is now being revisited) faces up to the fact that – except close to Exeter where they believe new estates should be concentrated – demand for housing is mainly from incoming retirees. This is why the projected need for employment land could be exaggerated.
In recent years, East Devon has had the highest rate of net domestic migration, well over 1 per cent p.a., of any district in England. Demand also includes a sizeable proportion of second homes: this may help explain why the report says, 'East Devon is one of the few places in the south west where housing delivery has exceeded population growth by more than 0.5%'.
Certainly little of the housing is for local young people, not surprising as 'the ratio between average earnings and average house prices is in the region of 11.42'.
Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty The report says: 'As custodians of these areas it is considered inappropriate to put significant growth in these areas although some authorities are doing this due to a lack of alternatives. That is not to say that there should be a moratorium on growth in the AONB's. Any growth in AONB'sunder our own policies and government policies must conserve or enhance the landscape character of the area and major development should only be accommodated where it cannot be accommodated elsewhere.' However we know from the recent Woodbury decision that this still means significant intrusion.
Poor infrastructure One of the reasons our area isn't proposed for growth is probably that, as the report recognises, 'Smaller towns and villages are losing services and facilities due to austerity measures and economic change and residents are becoming increasingly dependent on travelling to larger service centres and are often doing this by car due to poor access to public transport, convenience etc.'

Green Wedge development refused
EDDC has refused the application for a development including 150 houses on land east of Harepath Road, in the Green Wedge between Seaton and Colyford. This was a delegated decision, which did not go to the Development Management Committee, because planners, councillors, Seaton Town Council and Colyton Parish Council all agreed. The full reasons can be found here.
This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged Seaton-Colyford green wedge.
Green Wedge – corrected closing date TODAY!
Sorry I have given out incorrect information on the closing date – it remains officially 27 October! Often comments are accepted after that, but to be sure please submit today, even if briefly, on the portal or by email to planning east@eastdevon.gov.uk
Act now to save the Green Wedge!
The deadline for comments on the planning application for land between Harepath Road and Colyford Road, which will almost destroy the Green Wedge between Seaton and Colyford, is 27 October, although objections are sometimes accepted after the date (apologies for wrong date in earlier version of this post). Seaton Town Council has resolved to object and is currently preparing a full objection, but everyone who cares about the future of the town and its environment should object as soon as possible. Here is a guide for objectors:
To object: go on EDDC's Planning Portal to view the application and then submit your comment online, or email your objection to planningeast@eastdevon.gov.uk, or write to Planning (East), EDDC, The Knowle, Sidmouth EX10 8HL
Quote application no. 15/2188/MOUT – Land East Of Harepath Road Seaton. Write your objection in your own words about the issues that are most important to you – don't just cut and paste from these suggestions.
The application proposes a combination of up to 130 or 150 houses (both figures are given!) with some employment and business facilities. However the latter will only be built if there is a demand – so maybe only houses will actually happen.
The application is described as containing 75 affordable dwellings (50%) but the application form specifies 38 (25%). Apparently council officers persuaded the developer to increase the percentage because the site is outside the Built Up Area Boundary.
In Seaton we're used to affordable housing disappearing during the development process, but to lose them at the turn of a page must be an all-time record!
It's difficult to have any confidence that any affordable housing would actually be built.
THE SITE ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL PLAN
In the Local Plan, the main part of the site (labeled LSE2) is not designated for housing, but only for employment and recreation facilities. At least 45% of this site must be for recreational use – we need additional playing fields in Seaton – but the application proposes no recreational facilities.
The other part is currently a reserve site (labelled E315) which may be used for mixed use development – BUT only in the case of shortages of land elsewhere, which are NOT proved. However the new version of the Local Plan (which now has 'substantial weight' in planning decisions and is likely to be approved very soon) removes this reserve site. The developer is working against the clock trying to get it before the new Plan comes in.
GREEN WEDGE
The Local Plan protects Green Wedges between settlements. This is the 3rd application by this developer to build in the Green Wedge.
EDDC refused the previous applications, but they were only defeated after an appeal inspector ruled that concerns about housing were not sufficient to override the protection of the Wedge.
He said: 'the housing shortfall although significant is – arguably – relatively short term, whereas the erosion of separation between Colyford and Seaton would be permanent, and should not be acceded to lightly.'
The gap left between Seaton and Colyford in this application – 250 metres – is a little bit larger than than previously. However it is still less than the 450 metres that another inspector found insufficient to separate Lympstone from Exmouth in 2011.
The alleged 'housing shortfall' in East Devon has been addressed. The applicants are trying to take advantage of the residual uncertainty (about whether East Devon has a 5-year housing land supply) because the new Local Plan has still not yet been finally approved.
However EDDC has shown that it has a 5-year supply, and this is not one of the issues remaining to be resolved with the new Local Plan.
Seaton is already meeting its target for new houses in the Local Plan within the town, as the Plan stipulates. Large numbers of extra houses are already being built in or are approved for Seaton, at Harbour Road and elsewhere.
The Green Wedge is crucial for the environment of Seaton and Colyford. The new Local Plan says that 'Seaton's outstanding natural environment especially its Wetlands is its most precious and defining asset'. Building houses across this site will damage:
The landscape, views across Axe estuary and the setting of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The setting of the Seaton Wetlands, the jewel in Seaton's crown. (This development will bring housing right up to the main entrance to the Wetlands, at the Cemetery, replacing the rural setting of the Wetlands with an urban environment.)
The environment of bats which live on the site and other wildlife on the site and in the Wetlands.
Colyford Road is a narrow country lane with no pavement. Extra traffic into this road from the development will cause congestion – and threaten cyclists on the new national cycle route, the Stop Line Way (the section between Colyford and the cemetery has just opened) which passes along it.
In the Local Plan, Seaton's economic future is based largely on a 'green tourism' strategy – if all the tourist sees is urban sprawl, they're not going to be attracted into Seaton. The Wetlands and the cycle route are crucial to this strategy.
Seaton has grown hugely in recent years. The new Local Plan says that its 'community facilities, school, health, social and cultural, are seen as borderline or inadequate with no capacity to serve additional residents.' So extra housing will place unacceptable strains on the primary school, GP practices, etc.

New planning application for Green Wedge
The developer whose previous application was turned down by EDDC, a refusal confirmed by an Inspector on appeal, has put in a new bid to build on land between Harepath Road and Colyford Road, in the Green Wedge between Seaton and Colyford. This will be discussed at Seaton Town Council Planning Committee on Monday (19 October, 7 pm). You can view the application here:

Green wedge plans to return?
There is speculation that developers are planning to submit a new application to build on the 'green wedge' between Seaton and Colyford. Twice in recent weeks, residents have spotted people who appeared to carrying out preliminary surveys for such a proposal. The last application was defeated at the beginning of 2014 after a major campaign.

Q: Why doesn't PyParsinig store the generating rule name in the AST? I assembled my first pyparsing example (I used other frameworks like Irony in before), which works quite well. An AST can be printed to the console by pretty printing.
I can't find any resource on how to store and query the rule names of AST nodes. SetName("....") has no effect.
My input documents can have 1 to 5 levels in one boolean expression, so I need to know which rule matched and generated the AST node.
I didn't post my grammar yet - it's not the shortest :).

A: setName() sets the name of the expression, like integer, so that exception messages are meaningful - it describes the expression itself, not the data that was parsed. setResultsName() sets the name of the parsed value so that you can access by name from the parsed results. expr.setResultsName("abc") can also be abbreviated as expr("abc"), to cut down on the ugly clutter in the grammar definition.
If you are parsing a Boolean expression, please check out the simpleBool.py example that comes with the source distribution, or available on the pyparsing wiki Examples page at http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/file/view/simpleBool.py/451074414/simpleBool.py

Q: Android listview background I am implementing a list view like this for Android.

Without worrying about selectors and the thin strip on the left of each item, the background layout drawable for list items would be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
    <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#000000" />
    <corners
        android:bottomRightRadius="27dp"
        android:topRightRadius="27dp" />
</shape>

And I'm calling it list_border.xml and it resides in the drawable folder.
I have tried to set it as the background for the listview
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/list_padding"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/list_padding"
    android:divider="@drawable/list_border"/>

and as the background for each list item
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:divider="@drawable/list_border" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/menu_icon"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:src="@drawable/arrow1_e" />

    <org.bitbucket.infovillafoundation.denko.customui.MyanmarTextView
        android:id="@+id/menu_text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@id/menu_icon" />
</RelativeLayout>

But the listview has not changed to reflect the new background. Is anything wrong with it?

A: For listview you are setting it for divider not background. Check it and rectify it

A: You should be setting the background of the relative layout to be the drawable with radius. Not sure how you named it
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/bakcground_with_radius" >
   ...
</RelativeLayout>

Piper Alpha Perspectives: Introducing the Series
Piper Alpha Perspectives
THIS week, 30 years ago, 167 men died offshore in the Piper Alpha tragedy.
To mark the anniversary of this landmark event we had planned to run a selection of articles in the coming magazine from experts within our own community of process and chemical engineers. This all changed in June as I sat in the closing session of a standout conference run by Oil & Gas UK dedicated to preserving the legacy of Piper Alpha.
Steve Rae, who survived that terrible night, was on stage with Sam Ash and Joanna Reynolds, two new members of the oil and gas community, speaking about their experiences offshore, their aspirations for the future, and the legacy of Piper Alpha.
In short, I left the conference convinced that we needed to offer a wider set of perspectives on safety – ones that cross disciplines and generations. To that end, from now until the 30th anniversary of Piper Alpha on 6 July, we are publishing a series of articles each day that offer perspectives on Piper Alpha from people both inside and outside of our community.
We open with a detailed examination of the incident itself first published earlier this month in a special issue of IChemE's Loss Prevention Bulletin. In the article, chemical engineering professor Stephen Richardson, an expert witness in the Piper Alpha inquiry, and Fiona Macleod, chair of the Loss Prevention Bulletin Editorial Panel review the causes of the event, the findings of the investigation, and challenge you, the reader, to answer a series of questions about safety where you work.
From here, over the coming five days we will publish insights from:
Lord William Cullen, who investigated the Piper Alpha disaster on behalf of the government, and shares his views on how warning signs are missed in the build up to disaster;
Dame Judith Hackitt calls for us to share knowledge across sectors in light of the Grenfell Fire;
Piper Alpha survivor Steve Rae issues a call for industry to use evidence-based development to develop a fully competent workforce; and
the next generation of offshore workers talk about how Piper Alpha has shaped their careers despite being born after the accident happened.
We will publish more than a dozen pieces in the series, and I am incredibly thankful to the authors who generously agreed to share their thoughts on such short notice.
There is much to learn, share, and strive not to forget.
And in case you have not seen it, I recommend you watch the short film embedded below from the excellent Step Change in Safety organisation. Remembering Piper: The Night That Changed Our World is a dramatised account of that final night aboard Piper Alpha. It is hard to watch and having watched it many times now, I have to admit that I always struggle to watch to the end. But we owe it to those who died to recount what happened – and to commit ourselves to do all we can to share the lessons of Piper Alpha to prevent the reoccurrence of such disasters, and beyond that ask how we should commit ourselves to strive for continued improvement.
I hope you find this series valuable, and if you do, please share the links to the series with colleagues both inside and outside of the discipline. To read the rest of the series visit here

Lawsuit Against Yahoo Involving Google AdWords Dismissed with Prejudice
Steve Bryant
A Colorado judge yesterday dismissed with prejudice a lawsuit against Yahoo, in which Yahoo was sued for allegedly using a company's trademarked terms in Google AdWords.
The company that brought the suit, JP Enterprises, owns the trademark for dating site lovecity.com and filed suit earlier this year against Yahoo, Spark Networks and Insight Direct, alleging that each company used Google AdWords to misdirect users away from lovecity.com.
According to the lawsuit, when a user searched for "lovecity" or "lovecity.com" on Google, the Web sites of the defendants appeared in paid advertising on the first results page returned. (a search for those same terms now reveals a Polish dating site, a porn site and a site offering a work from home program.)
The case was dismissed with prejudice, which suggests that Yahoo and JP Enterprises came to some kind of settlement. Neither Yahoo's nor JP Enterprises' attorneys responded to requests for comment.
So I asked EFF attorney Corynne McSherry about this ruling. She said the court's task with this lawsuit was to judge whether the defendants' keyword buys used trademarks in commerce, which is illegal and can confuse the lay user.
McSherry said the courts have issued conflicting rulings on the issue this year. In October, a Minnesota court ruled in favor of TheMLSonline.com, a home search Web site, which had been sued by Edina Realty for trademark infringement in keyword advertising. But 10 days later, a New York court ruled in a separate case that trademark use in keyword advertising was not legal. McSherry suggested that what's needed to settle the issue, at least temporarily, is an appellate court ruling.
Google itself has been sued this year in foreign countries for allowing infringing trademark use in AdWords. In France, Google was sued successfully by Louis Vuitton, which argued that competitors buying another's trademark as a keyword are abusing that trademark and Google, as the publisher of the information, is liable for that infringment.

Rome, February 28, 2008 - Enel's Board of Directors expressed full solidarity, trust and support for CEO Fulvio Conti, and reiterated its full support of his conduct.
Enel is fully cooperating with the ongoing investigation in connection with the sale of Wind and, following news articles that appeared during the past year, has undertaken appropriate reviews by the internal audit department.
Enel reminds investors that beginning in 2002 it had publicly announced its intention to refocus its operations on the energy business and international growth, and announced its intention to sell Wind at a market value not less than the valuation reached in the preceding repurchase of the minority interest owned by France Telecom.
At the beginning of 2005 the company received several indications of interest which developed into two competing offers which eventually resulted in the sale of Wind to Weather SpA, who had made the higher offer as also confirmed by external experts opinions obtained by the Board of Directors.
The sale of Wind was thus carried out on the basis of a comparison of competing offers in accordance with the principles of competition, transparency and non-discrimination among the offerors and in full compliance with laws.
With respect to the alleged corruption, Enel notes that the company did not grant any advisory mandates, with the exception of assistance requested from its financial and legal advisors, in particular Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch and the Italian law firm Chiomenti, which were paid customary fees which in this case were quite favourable to Enel.
In conclusion, Enel confirms that as customary it is available to the Judicial Authorities to provide any further information if so requested.


I love getting new furniture when I can afford to do so. There's nothing like new living room furniture to make you feel special and that feeling you get when trying to decide on modern furniture, leather furniture, a sectional sofa or which color you'd like. The last set we bought we have really enjoyed but it's almost time for another. Hopefully we can choose something we both like although that isn't usually a problem. I've always wanted leather furniture but with the dogs I doubt that is a good idea. For now, I'll stick with a nice blue set made out of that soft suede type material or maybe something in a rich chocolate. I have the blue set now so perhaps the chocolate would be a nice change.


Don't miss the amazing show put on by Them Coulee Boys at the taproom!
Founded in late 2013, Them Coulee Boys have quickly become a force on the Midwest music scene. Them Coulee Boys live shows are energetic affairs, with a constant passion and sincerity evident in each song they play. Some songs it's an infectious stomp, inviting the listener to dance along. Driving banjo, guitar, mandolin, and bass provide a backdrop for fast-paced narratives about love and life, ordinary or incredible. Other songs leave room for space, with ambient electric banjo and finger picked instrumentation accompany songs dealing with the harsh realities of things we cannot control. These are songs from a band that is not afraid to take chances. These are songs from a band that's comfortable stripped down, or turned way up. These songs are deeply personal and entirely relatable. Maybe that's what makes these songs so easy to sing along with and these performances so moving. You're invited to feel a whole range of emotions, and that makes for shows that you won't soon forget.

labor French Unions Back Revisions of Labor Law
PARIS — French labor unions and business leaders struck a deal to overhaul labor laws. The changes include more flexibility for employers to reduce hours to prevent lay offs in times of "economic distress." Employers will pay a higher tax for using temporary labor. In exchange for flexibility, unions secured improvements to unemployment benefits and health insurance, as well as seats on the board of large companies.
January 20, 2013 Liz Alderman The New York Times
Last month, striking steelworkers blocked entry to an ArcelorMittal plant in Basse-Indre, France., David Vincent/Associated Press
PARIS — French labor unions and business leaders struck a deal on Friday to overhaul swaths of France's notoriously rigid labor market, moving to tame some of the most confounding rules in the 3,200-page labor code as the country tries to increase its competitiveness and curb unemployment.
The changes would include giving employers more flexibility to reduce working hours in times of economic distress without incurring union strikes. High levels of compensation that courts can award to laid-off workers would be trimmed. The five-year period that former employees now have to contest layoffs would be reduced, a shift that Medef, France's employers' union, said would "reduce the fear of hiring" by businesses.
President François Hollande has said the changes are needed to burnish France's international allure as a place to do business, and the accord capped weeks of sparring among the five top labor unions and Medef.
The labor measures would help address what Louis Gallois, Mr. Hollande's investment commissioner, has called a "two-speed" labor market in France. Under that system, employees on long-term contracts enjoy extensive, costly job protections and benefits, while temporary workers, whose ranks have surged to a third of the French labor force, have minimal job security and relatively few benefits.
In November, the government introduced a tax credit for companies, potentially worth a total of 20 billion euros ($26 billion), aimed at easing high employment costs. In exchange, business negotiators agreed on Friday, as a concession to unions, to pay higher taxes for short-term work contracts. Two hard-line unions, the Confédération générale du travail and the Force Ouvrière, rejected the offer as insufficient and refused to sign the deal, which was nonetheless binding because France's three other main labor unions backed it. A formal agreement will be signed next week.
The tax would help expand government coffers meant to support the unemployed while also nudging employers toward favoring long-term contracts. Employers would also pay somewhat higher contributions for private health insurance.
The deal "will change life for businesses in France," Laurence Parisot, the president of Medef, said in a statement. "This marks the advent of a culture of compromise after decades of a philosophy of social antagonism."
The negotiations were clouded recently by a series of public episodes, including a government threat to nationalize an ArcelorMittal plant in France to preserve jobs. There was also the decision in the last week by the French actor Gérard Depardieu to take Russian citizenship to escape a proposed 75 percent marginal tax rate on incomes of more than 1 million euros ($1.3 million).
Whether any of the changes will come fast enough to fix France's problems is an open question. Some economists say that France could become the next sick nation of Europe if it does not improve the environment for investment and hiring.
"Given the gap we still have between the level of labor market regulation in France and in countries like the United States, Britain and Ireland, it is very clear that when observers look at the outcome, they will say it's a step in the right direction, but not enough," said Dominique Barbet, the European economist for BNP Paribas in Paris.
"But we also need to keep in mind that in France, if you want to make reforms, you have to go through small steps first," he said. "You can't try to change the system overnight. That usually results in mass protests in the streets."
Mr. Hollande's government is expected to sign off on the deal. He has said it will help him keep a promise of reducing unemployment, now at a 13-year high of 10.7 percent, by the end of the year. Youth unemployment is about 25 percent. By contrast, unemployment in Germany, which last decade made deeper cuts to labor costs and regulations than France is doing, is at 6.9 percent and joblessness among the young is around 8 percent.
Mr. Hollande sought the accord after Mr. Gallois issued a stark assessment of the French economy in November, saying the country needed a "competitiveness shock" that would require politicians to curb the "cult of regulation" that Mr. Gallois said was choking business.
Under current labor rules, many entrepreneurs in France hesitate to hire large numbers of workers. Some employers even resort to operating several companies with no more than 49 employees each instead of running larger ones that employ hundreds. That is because after the 50th employee is hired, a stack of new regulations come into play, including long firing procedures even for underperforming employees and requirements for numerous union representatives.
Temporary contracts fall on the other end of the scale: they are often lower paid and offer far fewer protections, something that has alarmed French labor unions. More than 80 percent of new contracts issued in France are short term, a trend that has grown steadily as employers turn to them to escape the costly rules protecting permanent workers.
Mr. Gallois's report said that unless France relaxed its labor rules, the country would continue on an industrial decline that destroyed more than 750,000 jobs in a decade and helped shrink France's share of exports to the European Union to 9.3 percent from 12.7 percent. The report also called for cuts to business taxes used to pay for government and France's costly social safety net.
While it will take time for any changes to take effect, France has already taken steps that could help it skirt the worst in coming years. A fiscal consolidation begun in 2010 is continuing, in which tax increases and spending cuts are being applied to bring the overall budget deficit down to 3 percent of gross domestic product in 2013, from an estimated 4.5 percent in 2012.
"What's most important is that France get an economic recovery," said Mr. Barbet, of BNP Paribas. "If we don't have that, people won't hire no matter what the new labor rules are."

Arlington-based Giant Oak raises $10M to expand work with financial institutions
The company's platform factors behavioral science into data analysis to screen for illicit activity, said CEO Gary Shiffman.

For Gary Shiffman, a key part of analyzing data is studying human behavior.
Back in 2009, Shiffman began contributing a behavioral science approach to government projects using data to identify illicit activities such as drug trafficking and terrorism. He said publicly available data that people leave behind can be a tool for law enforcement, even if it's in less visible channels of the web than are commonly used.
"Behavioral science works as well in countering ilicit markets as it does in ad sales in licit markets," said Shiffman, a Navy veteran who served in policy roles at the U.S. Department of Defense and former chief of staff at U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
In 2012, Shiffman founded Giant Oak to grow that combination of data analysis, computer science and social science. The company makes a platform to screen for what it terms "bad actors" called Giant Oak Search Technology.
Security remained a major focus as Giant Oak continued working with the government. In recent years, Shiffman said it also began exploring work with private companies. First among these are financial institutions, where anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and other regulations require vetting of customers to maintain compliance.
After a year-and-a-half of initial work with financial institutions, Shiffman said the company is ready to expand in this area. The company recently raised $10 million from Edison Partners, which will help grow sales and marketing, as well as development of the technology.
Based in Clarendon, the company currently has 15 employees. Shiffman expects hiring as it looks to double in size over the next year.
"We're going to continue to focus on growing in the government space because we were built for the government space and love serving the public safety and public security communities," Shiffman said. "With the investment from Edison, we will be able to focus on two verticals."

Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM lens now reduced by $400
Save $400 on the Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM (opens in new tab) lens which takes it down below $2000 this Black Friday.
We're pleased to share this deal with you because the Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM sits in our best lenses for astrophotography buying guide and it received a near-perfect 4.5/5 stars in our Canon RF 15-35mm review. But why do we think so highly of this lens?
It's part of Canon's L-series range, which is known for its outstanding optical clarity. Super sharp from edge to edge and with a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 this ultra-wide zoom has a very astro-friendly 15-35mm focal length making it perfect for wide-field astrophotography.
The fast aperture of f/2.8 allows the lens to drink in the light from the cosmos and maximizes light input onto any compatible Canon RF mirrorless camera body. This saves pushing the ISO sensitivity too high, which in return results in astrophotographs with less high ISO image noise — ideal for clean, clear images.
While astrophotographers typically use one of the best tripods to photograph from, this lens has five stops of Image Stabilization (IS) to help steady the view, should you want to photograph in low-light handheld. That makes it usable for more than just astro and in fact, makes an ideal lens for weddings or group portraits indoors where light levels are normally limited.
The Nano USM feature built into the lens works with Canon's Dual-Pixel CMOS AF to produce the best autofocusing speed and ability that Canon has to offer (superior to Canon's less expensive STM system seen in more affordable lens models).
Better yet, the Canon 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM has an integrated control ring that can be preset to control myriad camera settings, from aperture to ISO and more. Optically, the lens benefits from low dispersion and aspherical glass elements to keep images clear of chromatic aberration (no color fringing on those stars) and distortion-free.
Weather-resistant it's not fully waterproof, but that shouldn't matter too much for the astrophotographers who tend to shoot when it's clear and dry, anyway. It is also coated with Air-Sphere Coating (ASC) to reduce flare and ghosting when shooting directly into the sun or when subjects are backlit.
Be sure to check out Space.com's Black Friday deals page, or our guide to the Best lenses for astrophotography, or pair it with one of the Best cameras for photos and videos or Best cameras for astrophotography.

India-Iran port deal reveals tense Asian rivalries
From left, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani hold hands in a show of solidarity after their trilateral meeting at the Saadabad Palace in Tehran, Iran, on May 23. (Iranian Presidency Office ... more >
By Guy Taylor - The Washington Times - Sunday, May 29, 2016
A little-noticed deal this month between India and Iran to develop an obscure port in the Gulf of Oman is offering a glimpse into just how dramatically last summer's Iranian nuclear accord stands to upend South Asia's geopolitical dynamics — as New Delhi pushes to expand its influence in nearby Afghanistan, outflank rival Pakistan and challenge Chinese dominance in the region.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani were all smiles at an unusual gathering last week in Tehran, where Mr. Modi pledged billions to develop Iran's southeastern Chabahar port and help establish a free trade zone stretching toward the Iran-Afghan border during the coming years.
News of the deal prompted a wary reaction from some in Washington, amid concern that sanctions relief under the Obama administration-backed nuclear accord with Iran last year has paved the way for a key U.S. ally to align itself with Washington's main adversary in the region.
But most South Asia experts say New Delhi remains firmly committed to its growing security cooperation with the U.S., and that its dealings with Iran are being motivated mainly by a desire to open a vast new trade link between a key Indian industry hub and the landlocked nations of Central Asia — without including rival Pakistan.
Iran's Chabahar port, located on the northern side of the Gulf of Oman, sits less than 600 miles from western India's export powerhouse of Gujarat state, where Mr. Modi served as chief minister for more than a decade prior to his election as prime minister in 2014.
It's a long-stalled deal that has economic, diplomatic and security implications for states across the region and beyond.
"This is about ensuring transit access for Indian goods in general to Afghanistan through Iran, but potentially also to Central Asia," said Tanvi Madan, who heads the India Project at the Brookings Institution in Washington.
"The Indians have tried for many years to get such transit access through Pakistan, but they've come to the conclusion that it's just not going to happen and that they need to move forward another way.
"India also sees this deal as potentially contributing to the future stability of Afghanistan," Ms. Madan said, adding that New Delhi is anxious to ensure that "Afghanistan has options other than going through Pakistan to get access to the sea."
The big question, she said, is whether ground will actually be broken on the Chabahar project anytime soon.
New Delhi first made promises about the port back in 2003. But the plan got stalled for years by bureaucratic bungling on both sides and was then derailed by international tensions over Iran's nuclear program — specifically when the Obama administration and its allies ramped up sanctions on Tehran in 2012.
Mr. Modi pledged $500 million to develop the port's facilities and make it a major transshipment point for goods during last week's meeting in Tehran. He also said India will spend some $16 billion during the coming years to build up the Chabahar Free Trade Zone with roads and railroads running inland to the north.
Mr. Rouhani said the projects could be a "great symbol" of Iran-India cooperation, with Iranian energy resources and Indian mines potentially paving the way for expanded trade in aluminum, steel and petrochemicals between the two nations.
Such plans fit within Tehran's push to reintegrate into the global economic system following the lifting of international sanctions in exchange for Iran's curtailing of its nuclear program under last summer's accord with the U.S. and other world powers.
For New Delhi, the deepened engagement could mean easier access to oil and gas to feed India's immense and growing energy needs.
Iran had been the nation's second-largest crude supplier prior to the imposition of sanctions in 2012. Mr. Modi's two-day trip to Tehran came with the announcement that India has begun paying back $6 billion in debt to Iran from past oil purchases — reportedly delivering some $750 million in such payments last week.
Friction with China and Pakistan?
The India-Iran-Afghanistan nexus comes as Pakistan has grown increasingly close to China, which has poured money and resources into its own port-development project in the Pakistan coastal city of Gwadar — just 45 miles down the coast from Chabajar.
Despite the threat of attacks by Islamist militants in Pakistan, the Chinese have forged ahead with a $46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project, the thrust of which revolves around developing Gwadar.
Construction at Gwadar is already well underway, with Beijing framing the project as essential to connecting its industries in western China to markets across the Middle East through Pakistan.
The Indians are keenly aware of Chinese plans and, according to Ms. Madan, a key part of New Delhi's interest in backing a competing project through Iran stems from a desire to "make sure China is not the only option Middle Eastern countries have for trading in the future."
Many believe the Pakistanis, who have been locked in a nuclear arms race with India for decades and have long resisted Indian involvement in Afghanistan, will view any India-Iran alliance with alarm.
"For India to build up a relationship with one of Pakistan's other neighbors, you can't look at that as anything but a threat," said Richard M. Rossow, a senior fellow on U.S.-India policy studies at the Center for Strategic International Studies in Washington.
And from the Indian side, the idea of "geopolitically surrounding Pakistan makes a lot of sense," Mr. Rossow said. "They're putting a bet down that building ties with Iran will give them a friend on the other side of Pakistan that they can potentially leverage at some point."
Pakistan's embassy in Washington declined to even acknowledge the Chabahar Port announcement last week. When pressed, an embassy official said only that the Pakistani government views the China Pakistan Economic Corridor "as an important step toward growth and shared prosperity."
But the prospect of friction with Pakistan seemed to be on Mr. Rouhani's mind while he met with Mr. Modi and Mr. Abadi in Tehran for their celebratory summit. The Iranian president went out of his way to assure Pakistan that the project is not against Islamabad.
"Today's deal will not be against any country, and activities of [Iran, India and Afghanistan] will serve the entire region and its peace and stability," he said.
U.S. watching 'closely'
To date, the Obama administration's approach to India has centered largely around an effort to enlist New Delhi in Washington's push for a coalition of nations to counter China's growing influence in East Asia.
The most notable example came in January 2015, when President Obama visited New Delhi and signed the "U.S.-India Joint Strategic Vision for the Asia-Pacific." Defense Secretary Ashton Carter last June inked a 10-year defense framework pact with his Indian counterpart.
"India is playing ball with the U.S. on security issues more than they ever have," said Mr. Rossow, who suggested that India's willing alignment with the Obama posture toward China may have created some "wiggle room" for New Delhi to expand its ties with Iran without objection from Washington.
"We look at India's security role and we look east, we don't look west," he said.
But India's moves have not gone unnoticed on Capitol Hill. Several U.S. lawmakers have raised questions about the extent to which the Chabahar Port deal might violate remaining U.S. sanctions on Iran, and expressed concern toward the prospect of deepening military ties between New Delhi and Tehran.
During a Senate Committee on Foreign Relations hearing last week, Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin, Maryland Democrat, cautioned that Iran continues to sponsor terrorism in the region. Sen. David Perdue, Georgia Republican, asked whether Washington should be paying closer attention as nuclear-armed India grows closer to the "aspiring nuclear power" of Iran.
The Obama administration's top official for South Asia told lawmakers that there has so far been no evidence of military-to-military or counterterrorism cooperation between India and Iran, but that U.S. officials have been carefully monitoring the situation.
"We watch very closely," said Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Nisha Desai Biswal. "We have very candid conversations about what our concerns and red lines are."
With Chabahar, "we have been very clear with the Indians on what we believe are the continuing restrictions on activities with respect to Iran," Ms. Biswal said. "They've been very responsive and receptive to our briefings."
As for potential sanctions violations, a State Department official speaking on background noted that the 2012 Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act, which had specifically authorized against sanctions on anyone trying to invest in Iranian ports, was lifted under last summer's nuclear accord.
While U.S. sanctions remain in place against anyone engaging in transactions with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), the official said that "there's never been any specific evidence that Chabahar Port is controlled by the IRGC."
