Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3
Text proposed by the Commission
(3) The proper functioning of the internal market requires, in order to improve the predictability of the outcome of litigation, certainty as to the law applicable and the free movement of judgments, for the conflict of law rules in the Member States to designate as the applicable law the same national law irrespective of the Member State of the court in which an action is brought.
(3) The proper functioning of the internal market requires - in order to improve the predictability of the outcome of litigation, legal certainty as to the law applicable and the free movement and recognition of judgments - for the conflict of law rules in the Member States to designate as the applicable law the same national law irrespective of the Member State of the court in which an action is brought.
(11) Conflict of laws rules governing the third-party (or proprietary) effects of assignments of claims do not currently exist at Union level. These conflict of laws rules are laid down at Member State level, but they are inconsistent and often unclear. In cross-border assignments of claims, the inconsistency of national conflict of laws rules leads to legal uncertainty as to which law applies to the third-party effects of the assignments. The lack of legal certainty creates a legal risk in cross-border assignments of claims which does not exist in domestic assignments as different national substantive rules may be applied depending on the Member State whose courts or authorities assess a dispute as to the legal title over the claims.
(11) No harmonised set of rules on the conflict of laws governing the third-party effects of assignments of claims currently exist at Union level. These conflict of laws rules are laid down at Member State level, but they are inconsistent - being based on different connecting factors to determine the applicable law - and therefore unclear, especially in those countries where such rules are not governed by separate legislative provisions. In cross-border assignments of claims, the inconsistency of national conflict of laws rules leads to legal uncertainty as to which law applies to the third-party effects of the assignments. The lack of legal certainty creates a legal risk in cross-border assignments of claims which does not exist in domestic assignments as different national substantive rules may be applied depending on the Member State whose courts or authorities assess a dispute as to the legal title over the claims; implicitly, the outcome of a priority conflict as to who owns a claim further to a cross-border assignment will vary, depending on the national law applied.
(12) If assignees are not aware of the legal risk or choose to ignore it, they may face unexpected financial losses. Uncertainty about who has legal title over the claims assigned on a cross-border basis can have knock-on effects and deepen and prolong the impact of a financial crisis. If assignees decide to mitigate the legal risk by seeking specific legal advice, they will incur higher transaction costs not required for domestic assignments. If assignees are deterred by the legal risk and choose to avoid it, they may forego business opportunities and market integration may be reduced.

Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) This legal risk can also act as a deterrent. Assignees and assignors may choose to avoid it, thereby allowing business opportunities to pass. This lack of clarity does not therefore appear to be in line with the objective of market integration and the principle of free movement of capital enshrined in Articles 63 to 66 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
(13) The objective of this Regulation is to provide legal certainty by laying down common conflict of laws rules designating which national law applies to the third-party effects of assignments of claims.
(13) The objective of this Regulation is to provide legal certainty by laying down common conflict of laws rules designating which national law applies to the third-party effects of assignments of claims, increasing cross-border claims transactions, so as to encourage cross-border investment in the Union and facilitate access to finance for firms - including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) - and consumers.
(14a) This Regulation is not intended to alter the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 regarding the proprietary effect of a voluntary assignment as between assignor and assignee or as between assignee and debtor.
(15) The conflict of laws rules laid down in this Regulation should govern the proprietary effects of assignments of claims as between all parties involved in the assignment (that is, between the assignor and the assignee and between the assignee and the debtor) as well as in respect of third parties (for example, a creditor of the assignor).
(15) The conflict of laws rules laid down in this Regulation should govern the effects of assignments of claims in respect of third parties, for example, a creditor of the assignor, excluding the debtor.
(16) The claims covered by this Regulation are trade receivables, claims arising from financial instruments as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments44 and cash credited to an account in a credit institution. Financial instruments as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU include securities and derivatives traded on financial markets. While securities are assets, derivatives are contracts which include both rights (or claims) and obligations for the parties to the contract.
(16) The claims covered by this Regulation include trade receivables, claims arising from financial instruments as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council44 and cash credited to an account in a credit institution. Financial instruments as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU include securities and derivatives traded on financial markets. While securities are assets, derivatives are contracts which include both rights (or claims) and obligations for the parties to the contract.
44 Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 2011/61/EU, OJ L 173, 12.6.2014, p. 349–496.

(17) This Regulation concerns the third-party effects of the assignment of claims. It does not cover the transfer of the contracts (such as derivative contracts), in which both rights (or claims) and obligations are included, or the novation of contracts including such rights and obligations. As this Regulation does not cover the transfer or the novation of contracts, trading in financial instruments, as well as the clearing and the settlement of these instruments, will continue to be governed by the law applicable to contractual obligations as laid down in the Rome I Regulation. This law is normally chosen by the parties to the contract or is designated by non-discretionary rules applicable to financial markets.
(17) This Regulation concerns the third-party effects of the assignment of claims. In particular, it covers the transfer of the contracts (such as derivative contracts), in which both rights (or claims) and obligations are included, or the novation of contracts including such rights and obligations.
(18) Matters governed by the Financial Collateral Directive44, the Settlement Finality Directive45, the Winding-Up Directive46and the Registry Regulation47should not be affected by this Regulation.
(18) Matters governed by Directive 2002/47/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council44, Directive 98/26/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council 45, Directive 2001/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council46and Commission Regulation (EU) No 389/201347 should not be affected by this Regulation, since the scope of the conflict of laws rules contained in this Regulation and that of the conflict of laws rules contained in those three Directives do not therefore overlap.

47 Commission Regulation (EU) No 389/2013 of 2 May 2013 establishing a Union Registry pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Decisions No 280/2004/EC and No 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Regulations (EU) No 920/2010 and No 1193/2011, OJ L 122, 3.5.2013, p. 1–59.
47 Commission Regulation (EU) No 389/2013 of 2 May 2013 establishing a Union Registry pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Decisions No 280/2004/EC and No 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Regulations (EU) No 920/2010 and No 1193/2011 (OJ L 122, 3.5.2013, p. 1).
(25) In accordance with market practice and the needs of market participants, the third-party effects of certain assignments of claims should, as an exception, be governed by the law of the assigned claim, that is, the law that governs the initial contract between the creditor and the debtor from which the claim arises.
(25) In accordance with market practice and the needs of market participants, the third-party effects of certain assignments of claims should, as an exception, be governed by the law of the assigned claim, that is, the law that governs the initial contract between the creditor and the debtor which gives rise to the claim.
(28) Flexibility should be provided in the determination of the law applicable to the third-party effects of assignments of claims in the context of a securitisation in order to cater for the needs of all securitisers and facilitate the expansion of the cross-border securitisation market to smaller operators. Whilst the law of the assignor's habitual residence should apply as the default rule to the third-party effects of assignments of claims in the context of a securitisation, the assignor (originator) and the assignee (special purpose vehicle) should be able to choose that the law of the assigned claim should apply to the third-party effects of the assignment of claims. The assignor and the assignee should be able to decide that the third-party effects of the assignment of claims in the context of a securitisation should remain subject to the general rule of the assignor's habitual residence or to choose the law of the assigned claim in function of the structure and characteristics of the transaction, for example the number and location of the originators and the number of laws which govern the assigned claims.
(29) Priority conflicts between assignees of the same claim may arise where the third-party effects of the assignment have been subject to the law of the assignor's habitual residence in one assignment and to the law of the assigned claim in another assignment. In such cases, the law applicable to resolve the priority conflict should be the law applicable to the third-party effects of the assignment of the claim which has first become effective against third parties under its applicable law.
(29) Priority conflicts between assignees of the same claim may arise where the third-party effects of the assignment have been subject to the law of the assignor's habitual residence in one assignment and to the law of the assigned claim in another assignment. In such cases, the law applicable to resolve the priority conflict should be the law applicable to the third-party effects of the assignment of the claim which has first become effective against third parties under its applicable law. Where both assignments of claims become effective against third parties at the same time, the law of the assignor's habitual residence should prevail.
(30) The scope of the national law designated by this Regulation as the law applicable to the third-party effects of an assignment of claims should be uniform. The national law designated as applicable should govern in particular (i) the effectiveness of the assignment against third parties, that is, the steps that need to be taken by the assignee in order to ensure that he acquires legal title over the assigned claim (for example, registering the assignment with a public authority or registry, or notifying the debtor in writing of the assignment); and (ii) priority issues, that is, conflicts between several claimants as to who has title over the claim (for example, between two assignees where the same claim has been assigned twice, or between an assignee and a creditor of the assignor).
(30) The scope of the national law designated by this Regulation as the law applicable to the third-party effects of an assignment of claims should be uniform. The national law designated as applicable should govern in particular (i) the effectiveness of the assignment against third parties, that is, the steps and procedures that need to be followed by the assignee in order to ensure that he acquires legal title over the assigned claim (for example, registering the assignment with a public authority or registry, or notifying the debtor in writing of the assignment); and (ii) priority issues, that is, the resolution of conflicts between several claimants as to who has title over the claim following a cross-border assignment (for example, between two assignees where the same claim has been assigned twice, or between an assignee and a creditor of the assignor).
(34) This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. In particular, this Regulation seeks to promote the application of Articles 17 and 47 concerning, respectively, the right to property and the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial.

1. Unless otherwise provided for in this Article, the third-party effects of an assignment of claims shall be governed by the law of the country in which the assignor has its habitual residence at the material time.
1. Unless otherwise provided for in this Article, the third-party effects of an assignment of claims shall be governed by the law of the country in which the assignor has its habitual residence at the time of the conclusion of the assignment contract.
Where the assignor has changed its habitual residence between two assignments of the same claim to different assignees, the priority of the right of an assignee over the right of another assignee shall be governed by the law of the habitual residence of the assignor at the time of the assignment which first became effective against third parties under the law designated as applicable pursuant to the first subparagraph.
Where the assignor has changed its habitual residence between two assignments of the same claim to different assignees, the priority of the right of an assignee over the right of another assignee shall be governed by the law of the habitual residence of the assignor at the time of the assignment which first became effective against other third parties under the law designated as applicable pursuant to the first subparagraph.
2. The law applicable to the assigned claim shall govern the third-party effects of the assignment of:
2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1 of this article, the law applicable to the assigned claim shall govern the third-party effects of the assignment of:
(a) cash credited to an account in a credit institution;
(a) money credited to an account in a credit institution;
(b) claims arising from a financial instrument.
(b) claims arising from financial instruments.
3. The assignor and the assignee may choose the law applicable to the assigned claim as the law applicable to the third-party effects of an assignment of claims in view of a securitisation.
The choice of law shall be made expressly in the assignment contract or by a separate agreement. The substantive and formal validity of the act whereby the choice of law was made shall be governed by the chosen law.
4. A priority conflict between assignees of the same claim where the third-party effects of one of the assignments are governed by the law of the country in which the assignor has its habitual residence and the third-party effects of other assignments are governed by the law of the assigned claim shall be governed by the law applicable to the third-party effects of the assignment of the claim which first became effective against third parties under its applicable law.
. A priority conflict between assignees of the same claim where the third-party effects of one of the assignments are governed by the law of the country in which the assignor has its habitual residence and the third-party effects of other assignments are governed by the law of the assigned claim shall be governed by the law applicable to the third-party effects of the assignment of the claim which first became effective against third parties under its applicable law. Where both assignments become effective against third parties at the same time, the law of the country in which the assignor's habitual residence is situated shall prevail.
2a. Effect shall be given to the overriding mandatory provisions of the law of the Member State where the assignment has to be or has been performed, insofar as those overriding mandatory provisions render the performance of the assignment contract unlawful.
2. The law applicable pursuant to this Regulation shall determine whether the rights of a third party in respect of a claim assigned after the date of application of this Regulation have priority over the rights of another third person acquired before this Regulation becomes applicable.
2. The law applicable pursuant to this Regulation shall determine whether the rights of a third party in respect of a claim assigned after the date of application of this Regulation have priority over the rights of another third person acquired before this Regulation becomes applicable. In the case of competing claims based on assignments, the law applicable pursuant to this Regulation shall determine the rights of the respective assignees, solely in respect of assignments concluded after ... [the date of application of this Regulation].
Rules relating to the law applicable to third party effects of assignments of claims were included in the Commission proposal that later became Regulation (EC) No 593/208 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I) but they did not end up in the final text. The clear intention of the legislators when lifting these questions out of the Rome I regulation was that the Commission should return with a proposal at a later stage.
The questions were raised again in the light of the 2015 Action Plan on Capital Markets Union (CMU). In May 2017 the Commission's Mid-term Review set out the remaining actions which will be taken to put in place the building blocks of the CMU by 2019, with the objective of removing barriers to cross-border investment and lowering the costs of funding.
The proposal of the Commission has fifteen articles. It follows closely the Rome I and II Regulations. In this report the provisions specific to this Proposal has been put in focus, whilst provisions only copied over from Rome I and II have been left unchanged. This position has been taken specifically with the view of possibly concluding this legislative file before the end of the Legislature.
The main rule
In the Commission Proposal, the main rule for the applicable law to assignments is the law of the habitual residence of the assignor. This is the rule in place in some Member States, whilst others apply for instance the law applicable to the claim assigned. The main negative consequences of an assignment may appear for the creditors of the assignor or for other third parties related to the assignor. For this law of the habitual residence of the assignor will give a high degree of transparency and predictability for the third parties possibly concerned.
Explicit exclusion of debtors
The law applicable to the consequences of an assignment for the debtor is regulated in Article 14 of the Rome I Regulation. Not explicitly excluding debtors from third parties under this Regulation would mean that the provision in Rome I applies by way of being lex specialist but that the question may arise to what extent this Regulation supplements Rome I. To make the third party consequences for debtors be solely regulated by Rome I, an explicit exclusion should be introduced in this Regulation.
Exclusion of insolvency proceedings
Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament ans of the Council of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings contains rules relating to applicable law. For that reason, assignments done in the course of a collective proceeding according to that regulation should be excluded from the scope of application of this Regulation.
The Commission has proposed that the assignor and assignee would be able to choose the law applicable to third party consequences of an assignment. Such a rule goes across one of the fundamental principles of European civil law: that the parties to an agreement may not dispose over the rights of third parties by way of the agreement. To leave the parties to the assignment agreement in full discretion in the respect would, especially in the light of Article 3, go too far. However, a solution where the parties to the securitisation arrangement would be able to choose that the law applicable to the largest number of claims applies to all claims would achieve sufficient streamlining while it retains a sufficient level of protection for third parties.

Q: Maintaining html control state in php? When a user fails to register, the fields disappear cause there is a postback to the server..
So for example, I have this:
<input name="email" type="text"  id="email1"/>

If the user fails to login, what will happen is that the fields will disappear. I could do this.
<input name="email" type="text"  id="email1" value="<?php echo isset($_post["email"])?$_post["email"]:""; ?>"/>

But it is a bit a long way, is there an easier way to maintain a state?

A: You could make one helper to manipulate HTML form tags. There are many libraries that you can find in web, or just made one.
Most MVC frameworks have features like this (Cakephp,codeigniter), but theres standalones too.

Discussions over coffee at the Manchester Chamber of Commerce.
I was able to gather opinions on commercial bussinesses ability to use media and manage their public image. It would seem that there is a substantial lack of expertise in this area.
Attractive design is often seen a substitute for a critical approach to defining the priorities in the message being communicated.
Understanding of how visual imagery is allied to a clear definition of the main branding points also seemed to be very low. Poor thought out and casual approaches to quality would seem to provide opportunities for high quality creative visualisers.
Getting beyond the I-Phone world of instant image production will be an interesting topic to get a grip of if standards in marketing are to break away from the gifted amateur approach.

GRUENE ROAD OFFICE DEVELOPMENT
948 & 952 Gruene Road
Gruene, Texas
Our featured project of the month is the Gruene Road Office Development located in Gruene Texas. Just down the road from historic Gruene Hall, and about two miles from the new Resolute Health Hospital at Creekside in New Braunfels, this recently completed, two building medical office development complements the surrounding residential and commercial development and architectural style. It is located at 948 and 952 Gruene Road.
948 Gruene Road is approximately 8,000 square feet. Dr. Anna Boecker occupies a little over 4,400 square feet for her practice which specializes in women's health and pediatrics. This move represented a significant increase in the size of Dr. Boecker's practice, aimed at taking advantage of a rapidly increasing population base. The balance of 948 Gruene Road is occupied by the two practices of Dr. Marc Franklin. In addition to his base practice, The ENT Center of New Braunfels, Dr. Franklin also operates Cosmetic Esthetics. Dr. Franklin moved his operations to the new project in order to acquire ownership in his space and better serve his patient base.
952 Gruene Road is owned by Dr. Jay Gruhlkey, who operates his practice, Lonestar Medical in approximately 2,600 square feet. Lonestar offers internal medicine and allergy related medical services. The balance of the space, around 1,400 square feet, is currently offered for sale or lease.
Both buildings are single story wood frame construction on concrete slab foundation and were designed as shell structures to be used for multiple medical or commercial office tenants. The exterior building materials consist of a limestone veneer with various earth tone shades along with a muted sage colored stucco. The building roofing mixes colored standing seam metal with a clay barrel tile at the entries. The entry doors to each space are richly stained wood and glass. In addition, there are roughhewn cedar posts, trims and trellis which are used as visual accents on both buildings along with plenty of windows to enhance both exterior views and natural light.
The shell building design as well as all of the interior architectural work for the tenant spaces were completed by Stephen J. Kramer Architecture + Design, Inc. Project management services were provided by Highflex Development, LLC of Austin, Texas. March Construction of San Antonio was chosen as the General Contractor. Please feel free to contact us for further information on all parties.
SCHERTZ PARKWAY PLAZA - BUILDING 600

5000 Schertz Parkway, Building 600
Schertz, Texas
Building 600 is part of the Schertz Parkway Professional Plaza located in Schertz, Texas. The Schertz Parkway Professional Plaza is a master planned-planned 58,000 square foot medical/professional office park developed by SPV Ventures with the master plan and individual building designs completed by Stephen J. Kramer Architecture + Design, Inc.
Building 600 is a 6,000 square foot single story building with wood frame construction and concrete slab foundation and was designed as shell structures to be used for medical or professional office tenants. The exterior building materials consist of a stone wainscot and veneer with painted stucco accent walls and a standing seam metal roof. The building also features an entry tower, raised roof at the corner of the buildings, and a covered drop off area as well as ample shared parking and attractive landscape design.
The shell building design was completed by Stephen J. Kramer Architecture + Design, Inc. and the building is occupied by The San Antonio Orthopaedic Group. The interior finish out was done independently by another firm and not by our office. Please feel free to contact us for further information on this or other architectural projects.
COMMON STREET PROF. BUILDING
Common Street Professional Building
1538 Common Street
The Common Street Professional Building is a 30,000 s.f. two storey concrete tilt wall office building that has Dentists, Doctors and other professional office tenants. It has a rock and stucco exterior accented by standing seam metal roof towers at the building entry and stairwells. The exterior materials and colors give the project a warm earthy feel with a definite Texas flair. Rich wood doors and trim combine with cream and brown travertine floors and wrought iron light fixtures and railings on the building interior to complete the overall feel of warmth and quality in this project.
SAN ANTONIO APARTMENT ASSOCIATION
San Antonio Apartment Associate Offices
7525 Babcock Road
The offices of the San Antonio Apartment Association consist of approximately 7000 s.f. of office with 60 parking spaces on a 2.3 acre site located at the corner of Babcock Road and Bamberger Way in Northwest San Antonio. This facility is the first location that the apartment association has built and will own, having leased space for all of it's previous offices.

Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper Realtors
North Loop 1604 West
The 'Babcock' office of Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper Realtors is a new 10,000 s.f. commercial office building that was constructed for the Client by M.J. Boyle Contractor, Inc. of San Antonio on a 1.4 acres of a 2 acre site on Loop 1604 west of Babcock Rd. in San Antonio. The site is over the Edwards aquifer and is subject to very stringent water runoff and tree preservation requirements due to its location. We developed a master plan that not only allows for the construction of the building and associated parking but potentially for a second building of about 5000 s.f. on the remaining undeveloped land.
The building exterior uses native limestone and stucco with brick accents and a standing seam metal roof to achieve a contemporary look that has it's roots in traditional Texas vernacular architecture. There is client parking in the front of the building as well as additional parking behind the building for employees. The site is extensively landscaped and existing trees have been preserved as much as possible to provide a very lush look on the exterior.
On the interior the building features a vaulted ceiling in the reception area, large break room, ample file storage, 2 MLS reasearch rooms, 6 individual conference rooms, 20 agent offices that can accommodate from 2 to 6 agents and a large training room that can hold up to 70 people for company meetings and other functions.
From the start of Design including all of the review process, permitting, platting, and city, state and agency approvals to completion of construction the project took under 18 months. For a project of this size and complexity this is

There are conference rooms, offices and a plan room as well as a kitchen for event caterers to use and a large outdoor deck. The second floor of the building has been leased to tenants who provide the association membership with insurance and engineering services.
The site is approximately 2 acres on the south side of loop 1604 between NW Military Highway and Bitters Road. Great care was taken to provide ample parking for the facility while still preserving the large oak trees on site.
The building exterior consists of native Texas limestone and stucco on the walls and a standing seam metal roof. Much of the material and labor for the project was donated by members of the association. The building has lots of glass to take in the views and let in natural light. There are towers accenting the entry and the corners of the building. The interior materials for the building were selected to look like an expensive custom home with wood paneling and mouldings, tile floor and lots of built-in cabinetry. There were many people who were involved in making this project a success and the facility should be a wonderful home for the builders association for many years to come.

The McRoy Building at Oakwell Farms is a 10,000 s.f. professional office building planned for a very tight and heavily wooded site in the Oakwell Farms Development in San Antonio. Fitting all of the parking and siting the building were challenges that were addressed during the design phase. The building was sited so that the entry faced the intersection of Oakwell Court and Lynn Batts Lane. The building Owner's space was oriented to take advantage of the view at the back of the building which consisted of the woods and a natural water feature. The building itself is a single story interpretation of Frank LLoyd Wright's Prairie Style with a strong horizontal focus and large roof overhangs. The natural Limestone is accented with green slate bands which compliment the standing seam metal roof.

Home » Agriculture & Agribusiness » How Does Buying American Benefit U.S. Food, Agriculture, and Medical Products?
President Biden recently issued an Executive Order (EO) to harness the federal government's purchasing power to bolster domestic manufacturing. The "Strengthening Buy American Provisions, Ensuring Future of America is Made in America by All of America's Workers" intends to support American industry and American workers. Overall, this EO looks to close loopholes in existing "Buy American" policies and elevates the directive government-wide. This EO could have positive implications for U.S. manufacturers, including those in the food, agriculture, and medical products sectors.
The Buy American EO instructs the following procedures for updating domestic preferences to fit the current realities of the American economy, by:
Closing the current loopholes on how domestic content is measured and by increasing the requirements. It states the existing policy creates a threshold of how much of the product must be made within the U.S. to qualify. This EO will increase that threshold, as well as the price preference, or the difference over which the government can buy a non-US made product;
Appointing a new senior member to the Executive Office of the President to oversee the policy. The Director of Made-In-America will be charged with implementing the new rules, work with stakeholders, and carry through the vision of the Administration with other agency partners;
Increasing transparency and accountability by establishing oversight of potential waivers to domestic preference laws and directing the General Services Administration to publish relevant waivers publicly online;
Connecting new businesses to contracting opportunities through the use of supplier scouting agencies, such as the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, a national network that links small and medium-sized manufacturers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico with new domestic suppliers;
Emphasizing the President's support for the Jones Act, which mandates that U.S.-flag vessels carry cargo between US ports; and
Requiring agencies to report on their implementation of the Made-In-America rules and to make recommendations for furthering its goals on a bi-annual basis.
This EO could have positive implications for U.S. producers, processors, and manufacturers. For example, "Buy American" requirements could be applied to domestic food assistance programs administered by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), like the school lunch program. The National Council of Farmer Cooperatives notes that currently, 81% of apple juice served in U.S. schools is imported, and 26 states serve canned peaches to students from China. Safeguarding the American pharmaceutical supply chain by encouraging bringing more manufacturing back to the United States and making it less dependent on foreign suppliers has long been a policy priority for now-Acting FDA Commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock. (Over 70% of active pharmaceutical ingredients are manufactured outside the U.S.). Encouraging the procurement of domestic-sourced products will support American manufacturers, farmers, ranchers, and other producers.
Additionally, the EO has a strong emphasis on clean energy and critical supply chains, growing good-paying, union jobs, and racial equity. The EO includes provisions that the "federal government should buy from suppliers that are growing the sectors of the future and treating their workers with dignity and respect." A strong and diverse U.S. manufacturing, food, agriculture sector are vital to economic success. For example, according to a GAO analysis of the 2017 Census of Agriculture, socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers (SDFRs), defined as groups who have been subject to racial, ethnic, or gender prejudice, account for 41 percent of U.S. producers. On average, their farmers were smaller and brought in less revenue than non-SDFR farms in 2017. With these provisions, this EO could have a positive and direct impact on supporting SDFRs.
OFW will be monitoring the implementation of this EO and how it might impact American producers and manufacturers. Please contact us with any questions.

The Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre (LMWQCC) is the main treatment facility for Canberra and is the largest inland treatment facility in Australia.
Sewage is treated and released into the Molonglo River. It then flows into the Murrumbidgee River and drains into the Murray- Darling Basin river system, ultimately discharging into the ocean south of Adelaide. Icon Water's treatment process ensures that the water that is discharged into the Molonglo River has minimal impact on the environment and downstream users.
To improve plant performance, Icon Water Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre (LMWQCC) replaced an isolation gate. The single isolation gate manages flows across two grit removal tanks, located inside their Raw Wastewater Channel. The arrangement was upgraded to include two new penstocks with built-in stoplogs. Six stopboards were also installed to increase plant process reliability, reducing operational disruptions and maintenance.
Operators require the ability to isolate and control flow into grit removal tanks. Installation of actuated penstocks at the entrance to each of the two grit removal tanks facilitates the ability to isolate penstocks without manual handling. Penstocks also allow partial closure of one or both gate structures to manage flow rates through one or both grit removal tanks.
AWMA custom designed and manufactured a pair of penstocks, one between the diversion gate and each of the two grit tanks. Each penstock was supplied with a stop-board frame and stop-board to facilitate double isolation to each of the grit tanks. This provides improved isolation of the grit tanks during maintenance activities, thereby reducing the likelihood of a significant safety incident. It is anticipated that SCADA connection will provide remote actuation of the penstocks.
The inclusion of six aluminium stopboards, provides secondary isolation between the Primary Distribution Channel and the flocculation/Grit Tanks.
Specifications included the ability to clean the penstock guides without the need to enter the channel or any confined space. Location of the penstock actuation was required to be above the water level to facilitate future maintenance. No moving parts fixed to permanent elements were to be located below ground level. Adhering to the strictly limited and scheduled planned operational shutdown periods and managing exclusion zones, under confined space conditions, were the challenges of this project that AWMA successfully resolved.
Upon final inspection of the infrastructure AWMA was commended on the manufacturing processes; 'AWMA's welding in aluminium and stainless steel was exceptional and the best ever seen'.
STOPLOGS: modular segments of any size, joined to effectively isolate flows.

For Barbara Hammer, her work as a visual artist has always served a clear purpose: to deconstruct a cinema that objectifies or limits women and to make these invisible bodies and histories visible.
Born in 1939 in Hollywood, Barbara Hammer started making experimental films at a turning point in her life, coming out as a lesbian in the 1970s. In her first decade as a filmmaker, her work centered on women's issues, sexuality and gender roles. Quickly she was proclaimed the Mother of Feminist and Queer Cinema. But her recognition as an artist grew quickly beyond these themes and content, as she started to combine classical documentary techniques with reenactment, animation and experimental montage, creating an innovative style of "sight and touch" cinema.
With her work spanning from "Dyketactics"(1974) to her highly praised documentary "Resisting Paradise" (2003) and the award winning "A Horse is not a metaphor" (2008), DOK Leipzig paid homage to Barbara Hammer's life achievement in forty years of film making.
The master class was hosted by HGB Leipzig and was held in English.

The Companies That Slashed The Most Jobs in 2014
Hint: Many of them were not struggling.
Krystal Steinmetz • February 10, 2015 • Advertising Disclosure
No one wants to be handed the dreaded pink slip. But that was the unfortunate reality for more than 450,000 workers last year.
Although that number of layoffs may be alarming, it was the "lowest count of year-end job cut announcements since 1997," 24/7 Wall St. said.
Although some companies, such as Coldwater Creek, were forced to lay off workers in 2014 because of bankruptcy issues, 24/7 Wall St. said that isn't always the reason.
… Gray & Christmas CEO John Challenger explained that this is not the case for most companies. Particularly in a strong economy, many companies are "doing regular strategic evaluation of their business looking for areas of redundancy, [and] looking for ways to make their organization a tighter ship."
The tech industry cut 58,000 jobs last year, more than any other industry, 24/7 Wall St. said. In fact, tech companies, such as Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft and Cisco Systems, had the most company cuts overall.
At 42,000 cuts, the retail industry had the second most planned layoffs.
These are the companies that had the highest number of planned job cuts in 2014:
Hewlett-Packard Co. 21,000 layoffs.
Microsoft. 18,000.
Cisco System Inc. 6,000.
JPMorgan Chase. 5,500.
Coldwater Creek. 5,500.
Sears Holdings. 5,400.
Intel Corp. 5,350.
Sprint Corp. 5,000.
Procter & Gamble. 4,430.
Amgen Inc. 4,000.

Lifetime Achievements 1999
Overview: The Antinori Family of Florence, one of the world's oldest and most distinguished wine producers, has lived in Tuscany since the 14th century and will celebrate its 624th anniversary as winemakers in the year 2009. The Antinori reputation has grown throughout the centuries.
They have pioneered techniques in cloning, fermentation and aging that have enhanced wines from Tuscany and Umbria while retaining their traditional character. For 26 generations, the Antinori Family has led a "Renaissance" in Italian winemaking by combining long traditions, a love of authenticity and a dynamic innovative spirit. This innovative spirit remains at the core of Antinori philosophy: to maximize the undiscovered potential in winemaking while insuring to safeguard the wealth of tradition, culture and taste which gives Antinori wines their unique identity.
Throughout its long history the family has always personally managed the business .The current company president, Marchese Piero Antinori, has stated that "age-old roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have not served to inhibit our innovative spirit." This spirit will continue as Piero Antinori's three daughters, Albiera, Allegra and Alessia, join the company to ensure that the traditions are maintained. Today, the Antinori Family continues to live in Florence and produce some of Italy's finest wines.
Palazzo Antinori, a 15th century landmark located near the Arno River in the center of Renaissance Florence, serves as offices and the family residence for the last 500 years. As well as the family's traditional heritage of estates in Tuscany and Umbria, investments have been made over time in other areas highly-suited to quality wine production in a quest to promote new terroirs, rich in winegrowing potential. An illustration of this is the Antinori Family's California wine estate – Antica Napa Valley. As president, Marchese Piero Antinori has shaped the company over the last 40 years into one whose wines are prized by connoisseurs the world over. Born: Piero Antinori was born in July 1938, the second of three children of Marchese Niccolo Antinori and Carlotta della Gherardesca. Piero has an older sister, Llaria, and a younger brother, Lodovico.

Captain Remouri
Urufu
"I was at the boozer, ran into a bushranger, and ended up buyin' him a drink." — Raphael Remouri
Character Name: Raphael Remouri.
Secondary Name: Captain.
Race: Alfar.
Gender: Male.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual.
Height: 5'9".
Weight: 155lbs (not including ammo).
Hair Colour: Crimson.
Eyes Colour: Light Grey.
Skin Tone: Oragne-ish Peach.
Raphael has long redish brown hair which he keeps pulled back into a shaggy pony tail with the help of an average piece of string. His nose is slender and small which helps keeps his sunglasses extremely close to his face. Raphael wears black sunglasses over his gray eyes because they are sensitive to light for having lived in the clouded dust town of Einbroch for a good portion of his maturing years. His lips are light peach and appear soft to the touch. His build is slender, but muscular. His muscular build is caused by routine exercises he does when he isn't doing paper work, out on the field, or having fun with friends. His ears are easily visible unless he has a beret on which when he does his hair is pushed over his ears hiding them. Raphael wears a chain around his neck with dog tags on it, a black tight sleeveless tank top, a black trench coat, multi-colored (black,gray, and white colored) military pants, and black combat boots. On the right sleeve of his trench coat the emblem of A-T.A.S. can be found. On an arm sling he has a modified rifle (jungle carbine), and equipped to his waist our his new dual Garrison handguns. Now Raphael is only 5'9" which is very short for an alfar which hints that he is still possible young and still growing. His skin tone is orange-ish peach due to a skin pigment disease he has acquired from particles in the Einbroch air. He is always clean smelling too regardless of whether he has been out drink (his breath my smell like alcohol, but this guy smells good all the time).
Personality & Mannerisms
Disposition: Lawful Good.
Generally when Raphael isn't working he is a very easy person to get along with, but when he is working it is a whole different story. Work is his top priority, and he doesn't seem to kid or joke around with his responsibilities. Outside of work he is a very enjoyable person to be around. Raphael is a caring individual that isn't afraid to start the conversation. He isn't a womanizer though. His view point towards woman is equal to how he feels about men — thus he demands more then mere appearances if he is to ever date a woman. Raphael is known to have kind of fowl mouth, but he tries to keep cursing to a minimum. Raphael is the kind of man to step into a situation that is out of hand, dangerous, and unlawful. He is both a strategist and fighter, but in situations among the common wealth he tends to act before thinking. When he is working though he plans every attack and movement to the best of his capability. The only bad thing about him is honestly is his disrespect for money and how he spends it on alcohol, bullets, food, and unnecessary miscellaneous items. One of Raphael's pet peeves though are slutty women and specially men — he tends to become pissy around these individuals and he isn't afraid to show it physically and verbally.
Character Age: 43.
Birthdate: Unknown.
Birthplace: Yuno.
Occupation: Officer of A-T.A.S. .
Officer File
Raphael was born into a relatively poor family of alfar. During this time his family was making arrangements to make sure he became successful later on in life. Ramon Remouri, the father of Raphael, was a industrial worker who received a job in the town of Einbech. This caused the family to move to Einbech where schooling wasn't that great, but the payment for working on machinery was magnificent. Once the family had settled into Einbech the flow of money lead to a great number of things. A few years after the move Ramon was promoted to the title of inspector, and was required to start traveling more. First Ramon would have to get a little schooling though in Yuno. Since Ramon would be required to go to Yuno it was decided that since they had the money now he would bring Rapheal who was now 12 with him, and enroll him in an all boys boarding school. Needless to say Raphael wasn't the least be cooperative being taken away from his mother to Yuno where he was 'abandon' at a school.
Left at the all boys boarding school Raphael was given a uniform, room, and a listing of classes he was required to attend. It was at this time that Raphael became a lone wolf, and due to hostility in the school he took it as a challenge. Grades and a strong physical physic became his top priority. Raphael spent 6 years in his room training and study when he wasn't in class and it resulted in him becoming one of the smartest students of his class. Something strange happened though over the years — Rapheal's room mate became one of his closest friends because of the loyalty he had shown him. Wunai was a skinny book worm that looked up to Raphael, and the two somewhat looked out for one another. Raphael physically protected Wunai, and Wunai in return help Raphael with advance topics when he studied. Sadly though when they graduated the two departed back to their previous home, but the two decided to say in contact.
Returning home Raphael was shocked to find out that his mother had resorted to nursing the towns miners. He quickly found out that she was doing this as a source of income since Ramon had died in Einbroch. Apparently he was killed by faulty machinery he was sent to inspect, and Elizabeth (Raphael's mother) wasn't even informed by the company, but instead by friends in the company who had brought his body back to her. This lead Raphael to travel to Einbroch to investigate the situation while his mother stayed in Einbech to work. The company's CEO took Raphael's arrival in town as a liability, and not wanting any trouble from the Remouri house — a malicious plan was devised. during the first night of his arrival Raphael was ambushed by masked individuals and held at gun point. With quick thinking though Raphael got himself out of the sticky situation by disarming one of them, and shooting the other with the disarmed one's gun.
Pistol whipping the man who he had disarmed who was recovering he knocked out the individual. Stuffing the handgun into his back pocket he inspect their bodies only to find a personal item, a picture, from him home in Einbech. Infuriated Raphael took the deceased shooter's hand gun and shot he other one that had been knocked out. Now both shooters were dead, and Raphael went to leave. Something clicked in his head though, and he turned around towards the bodies. Walking back over to them he polished the handguns he had taken from each of them, and placed it specifically on them so it appeared as though they had shoot each other. After doing so he fled from town, and traveled on foot back to Einbech only to find his mother cold and deceased laying on the living room floor. She had been shoot to death, and it appeared as if her death had been quick. Walking over to his mother he knelt down into a puddle of blood beside her and slowly used his hands to close her eyelids.
The next day Raphael informed the miners that she had been shoot to death, and made arrangements for her to be buried in a private sector of the mines. Reluctantly the miners and head miner agreed to grant him this penance because of work Elizabeth had done healing and nursing them. In the company of the miners (who held Raphael bring the body into the mines in a raggy coffin) Raphael dug out a grave for his mother all by himself with a shovel. Once he was finished the miners helped him lower the coffin into the ground, and afterward Raphael covered it with dirt. No mean words were said or could have been said about his mother, and afterward everyone retreated from sector and the entrance was blown shut. A no not mine tape was placed over the ruble of the former entrance where his mother's tomb would stay untouched.
Sometime after the death of his mother Raphael became a wandering vigilante, and his first task was to learn more about the gun men who had tried to kill him. He shaved his head bald and had allowed a red goatee to form on his face (but he dyed it black). With sunglasses always over his eyes he traveled back to Einbroch under the false identity of Ivrence Urie. It was with this false identity that he found out about gunslingers, and became one himself. He learned mostly about the weaponry rather then the guild's member (because that's how their system worked — only official members were known) and he became fond of rifles, but he preferred handguns because of the mobile they granted. He spent a couple of months in Einbroch, but nothing helped him get any closer to finding out why his mother was killed and why he was attempted to be killed.
A year passed with no luck gaining any grounding to his many questions. It was around this time that Satan Morroc had been unleashed in the desert town of Morroc. Arriving at Morroc Raphael found himself along side many notable organizations and individuals who all had seemed to heard of one another. Surprisingly all of them had heard about him, and told him his vigilante work was good, but amateur at best. Something in Raphael's head clicked again and he took their words as a challenge, but the top priority here was trying to defeat this extremely dangerous monster. Raphael and the others first tried to launch an attack against Satan Morroc, but failed miserably. Instead of trying another assault on the creature they went after the only survivor of the group that had summoned it, and caught him (Raiyan Moore).
Soon after Raiyan Moore had been caught (by Raphael and company) and Satan Morroc disappeared (everyone believes the demon was sealed again or moved onto another realm). Months later Raphael was approached by a mysterious man who offered him a position in a secret squadron of men. These men worked to prevent acts of terrorism before they happened, and if they failed to try to eliminate the problem once it was present.
Life as an Officer
This section will be filled in gradually over time.
Acquaintances
"Lupa" - A lupus female he came across in Payon while searching for a hired hand. He chit-chatted with her for a bit and established that they had opposing views. Though by the time of her departure she was so fustrated trying to understand him that she was coming off as rude. Though he rudeness didn't cease there she ended up following him, and rifled through his knapsack. Raphael consider popping a round into, but made no movements or gestures to. She took the book he is writing out of his bag, but only to inspect the cover — afterward she gave it back. Since then he hasn't seen her around, but he knows she is in the woods.

Q: Default sorting column in xe:Listview I'm using the xe:Listview component from the Extension Library. The columns are added to the control by using xe:ListviewColumn components. The data source is the xe:viewJsonService. Currently I have a total of five columns with three sortable columns (sort = true in the xe:ListViewColumns). But I would like to set the default sorting to one of the xe:ListViewColumns. Is this possible?

A: Try doing the default sorting from the REST service itself.
So on the xe:viewJsonService, add the programmatic name of the desired view column you wish to  sort by default to the sortColumn property, e.g. sortColumn="LastName". Then set the sortOrder to ascending or descending, e.g. sortOrder="ascending".
But this scenario only works if the Notes view you are using for the REST service has sorting set on the column you want to sort, i.e. the LastName column though this column doesn't have to be the default sorting column from that view.
Hope this helps.

Biographie de Peter Watts (1958)
By affinibook on Jul 30, 2009
Peter Watts is a Canadian science fiction author and marine-mammal biologist.
His first novel Starfish (2000) introduced Lenie Clarke, a deep-ocean power-station worker physically altered for underwater living and the main character in the sequels: Maelstrom (2001), Behemoth: β-Max (2004) and Behemoth: Seppuku (2005). The last two volumes comprise one novel, published split in two for commercial considerations. Starfish, Maelstrom and Behemoth comprise a trilogy usually referred to as "Rifters" after the modified humans designed to work in deep-ocean environments.
His latest book Blindsight, released October 2006, has been described by Charles Stross thus: "Imagine a neurobiology-obsessed version of Greg Egan writing a first contact with aliens story from the point of view of a zombie posthuman crewman aboard a starship captained by a vampire, with not dying as the boobie prize."
Watts has also been the Supervising Writer on the animated science fiction film and television project "Strange Frame".
Watts has made his novels and some short fiction available on his website under Creative Commons licence. He believes that doing so has "actually saved [his] career outright, by rescuing Blindsight from the oblivion to which it would have otherwise been doomed."
He also worked briefly with Relic Entertainment on one of the early drafts of the story that would eventually, years later, become Homeworld 2. However, the draft Watts worked on bears little resemblance to the one used for the released game.
By Mirsky on Apr 29, 2009
Peter Watts est né en 1958 au Canada et vit à Toronto. Biologiste marin de formation, il est l'auteur d'une dizaine de nouvelles et de cinq romans dont ce dernier, Vision aveugle, a été nominé à tous les grands prix de SF.
