Home Case note: ACCC v Pepe's Ducks Ltd
Case note: ACCC v Pepe's Ducks Ltd
By Emmanuel Giuffre, former Voiceless Legal Counsel and Sara Gajic, Legal Intern
Citation: Australian Competition and Consumer Commission v Pepe's Ducks Ltd [2013] FCA 570
Court – Federal Court of Australia
Judge – Bromberg J
Date of Judgement – 14 June 2013
In 2012, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) brought an action pursuant to the Australian Consumer Law against Pepe's Ducks Ltd, the leading supplier of duck meat in Australia.
The ACCC alleged that Pepe's Ducks engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct, and made false or misleading representations, with respect to the welfare claims alleged in its product advertising and packaging material.
On 14 June 2013, the Federal Court of Australia (FCA) handed down its decision and ordered by consent that Pepe's Ducks pay $375,000 in civil pecuniary penalties and $25,000 in costs. Significant for the animal protection movement, the FCA held that it would not tolerate meat producers deliberately misleading consumers as to welfare claims made on product advertising and packaging material and ordered Pepe's Ducks to pay significant pecuniary penalties, amongst other orders.
The ACCC's claim against Pepe's Ducks
Pepe's Ducks is a leading supplier of duck meat products with approximately 40% market share and supplying around 80,000 ducks per week in Australia in 2011.1
Between 2004 and 2012, Pepe's Ducks made a number of representations on their product packaging, delivery vehicles and official website as to the conditions in which their ducks were kept, including that the ducks were "open range" and "grown nature's way". The marketing material also used pictorial representations of "happy ducks" roaming outdoors and next to a water source.2
In 2011, Animal Liberation and the Public Interest Law Clearing House lodged a complaint with the ACCC, alleging that Pepe's labelling was in breach of the Australian Consumer Law because it would lead a reasonable member of the public to believe that the ducks were raised with access to surface water, when in fact they were bred and raised in closed sheds.
Further, in June 2012, a feature on ABC's 7.30 provided photographic and video footage evidencing the true environment in which ducks were kept at a Pepe's Ducks shed in New South Wales. The footage showed ducks barn raised, without access to the outdoors or to a water source. The evidence also revealed shocking scenes of ducks having their wings caught in grates, ducks lying on their backs unable to re-erect themselves or support their weight, and showing visible signs of distress.
In July 2012, the ACCC brought an action against Pepe's Ducks for engaging in misleading or deceptive conduct, and making false or misleading representations, under sections 18 and 29(1)(a) of the Australian Consumer Law (Cth) respectively. The ACCC alleged that Pepe's Ducks had deliberately misled consumers by suggesting, through their marketing campaigns, that their ducks were raised "free range" with access to water, when they were not.
Pepe's Ducks conceded that its ducks were barn raised and not "free range" and that outdoor access was limited, despite their claims of "Open Range" and "Grown Nature's Way". Pepe's Ducks also conceded that its ducks did not have access to a water source, despite marketing imagery that could suggest otherwise. Accordingly, Pepe's Ducks admitted its conduct contravened the Australian Consumer Law and consented to the FCA making orders against it. Those orders included declarations, injunctions, corrective measures, a pecuniary penalty of $375,000 and ACCC costs of $25,000.3
On 14 June 2013, the FCA handed down its decision and ordered by consent that Pepe's Ducks:
was prohibited from using the words "open range" or "grown nature's way" on any product or marketing material;
was prohibited from displaying a picture of a duck outdoors on any product or marketing material, without the words "Barn Raised" prominently displayed in close proximity to the picture;
to establish a Trade Practices Compliance Program at their own expense and publish a notice on their website and at the front of each of their premises to clarify the source of its duck meat, for a period of 90 days; and
to pay a pecuniary penalty amounting to $375,000 and costs to the ACCC in the amount of $25,000.
In coming to this finding, the FCA held that the deliberate nature of the marketing campaign in deceiving ethical consumers over an extended period of time was a critical factor in determining pecuniary penalties.
Bomberg J also held that Pepe's Ducks' conduct was "very serious" given it held 40% of the market share of duck meat products in Australia. Bomberg J noted that many consumers were undoubtedly deliberately misled, competitors not engaging in unlawful conduct were disadvantaged, and the company established an ethical perception amongst consumers, which was false.
Bomberg J stated:
"The company would clearly have been aware of increasing concern among consumers regarding sources of food and the treatment of animals used to produce food products. Pepe's Ducks would also have been aware that many consumers prefer products that are sustainably produced with reasonable concern for animal welfare and that many consumers are prepared to pay a premium for such products."4
Bomberg J referred to the underlying goal of pecuniary penalties – namely, to deter the liable party and other members of the public from engaging in such conduct in the future. Notwithstanding the fact that Pepe's Ducks had not previously engaged in unlawful, anti-competitive conduct, the significant penalty was necessary in order to ensure other large corporations, in which consumers have placed trust, do not attempt to mislead or deceive.

The Ministry of Defence hosted the 3rd Annual Multi National Security Conference on Friday, 6th October 2017 at the Radisson Fort George Hotel in Belize City.
The main objective of the conference was to share Belize's vision, work and requirements with regards to military assistance with our allies and partners. The conference emphasized security cooperation and military capacity building for the Belize Defence Force, Belize Coast Guard, and the Joint Intelligence Operations Centre.
The keynote speaker of the conference was the Chief Executive Officer, Lt. Col. Rt'd. Felix Enriquez. He highlighted that the Ministry of Defence's vision "requires a broader understanding of national security to encompass the defence of our territorial integrity, fighting criminality locally and transnationally and providing a stable and enabling environment for the prosperity of Belize. As such, defence is a separate and very important aspect of this broader definition so it is highlighted throughout the recent draft of the National Security and Defence Strategy (2017-2020). The whole-system approach we adopt, reflects the interconnected nature of the goals which must be pursued in synergy to create optimal results for national security and defence".


Fredericton's premier college has been providing practical, job-oriented training since 1977. We offer ten-month programs in Administration, Management and Social Services. The programs begin in January and September. Our programs provide students with the practical skills and knowledge necessary for success.
When I applied to Atlantic Business College, it was pretty straight forward. I applied online, and I got a call the next day to come in. I went for my interview and within that day of signing up, I was accepted. There's no waiting list. There's no school on Fridays so it's awesome, especially if you have children.
Atlantic Business College give more opportunity to connect to local people, a good place to improve your self especially for foreign students or international people. ABC got quick way to grasps skills and grasps confidence. So I recommend this college.
It's very hands on and you learn a lot. You got to be in a placement and be in the actual setting of what you are learning. The instructor are very good here, they very understanding of stuff and very easy going. If you don't understand something you can easily ask for extra help.
We are a month away from graduation here and they are already bringing in job posting that are directly associated with this college. The government gave me a bursary to helped me out with tuition, so it's not that expensive.And for the amount of knowledge that you get in the 10 months, it's definitely worth the amount of money.

What began as a personal goal for Sophia Danenberg became a historic feat when the Boeing Company analyst became the first black woman to climb to the top of Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain.
She's climbed in Switzerland, Tanzania and Argentina, but the famous ascent on Everest in Nepal came on May 19, 2006 at 7 a.m. Danenberg — battling bronchitis, frostbite and a storm — reached the 29,029-foot peak with her guides — brothers Pa Nuru Sherpa and Mingma Tshiring.
"Base camp reported unstable conditions and it was really windy, even for that place. We were concerned a squall might form, so we had a decision to make — to continue or turn around," she recalled for the audience at the "TEDxUChicago: 2015 The Incredible Unknown" event last May.
"Below, we could see a floor of clouds with little sparks — lightning from the storm we had just climbed through. But above, were stars; the clearest sky I have even seen or will probably ever see in my life," she said, calling the view from the top "spectacular."
Danenberg said recently, "Yes, I'm still at Boeing (working as an international policy analysis) and still climbing. I haven't been back to Nepal since 2013, but I climb locally here in Washington State," adding that "climbing mountains and climbing the corporate ladder are hard to do simultaneously. Haha!"

A Message from the SVANC Election Committee to Potential Candidates
Hello and Welcome To The Sun Valley Area Neighborhood Council (SVANC).
We on the Election Committee would like to talk to you about running for office in the SVANC!
The SVANC is a local neighborhood branch of City government. Though the SVANC does not have the ability to mandate any action, we are advisory to the Los Angeles City Council and other City entities such as the Zoning and Planning departments. For instance, the LADWP (Department of Water and Power) is supposed to consult with the neighborhood councils before they take action on items such as rate hikes.
The City funds each neighborhood council equally each year. For fiscal year 2015-2016, the SVANC will receive $42,000 to be spent in our neighborhoods, for activities including community outreach, community improvement, keeping our stakeholders informed, elections (the city does not subsidize neighborhood council elections), and some administrative overhead.
Members of SVANC are elected from four categories; Business people in the community, Residents of the community, At-Large and Community Interest Stakeholders who may be members of local community organizations, local Faith Based organizations, or people who declare a stake in our neighborhood and affirm the factual basis for it. The term of office is four years.
We also have two Senior Representative seats (age 55+) and two Youth Representative seats (age 14-21) that are filled by board appointment yearly.
There is no remuneration. This is strictly a volunteer position. But this is a wonderful learning experience! You will gain knowledge and insight into the inner workings of the City government, and find out things at our meetings that are not often publicized in the media. Plus you will have closer access to your city leadership to enable you to make a real difference in your neighborhood.
Our board members meet with the public once a month (every second Tuesday) at Villa Scalabrini Retirement Center, 10631 Vinedale Street, in Sun Valley (see our home page at svanc.com for directions and a map). Our meetings last about two hours, and are attended by various local, county, state and federal officials, and public safety officers.

Council still seeking please explain..
Some residents of an apartment building in Sydney's north-west are still without gas and hot water after the complex was cleared to be lived in by a private certifier.
The unit complex on Old Northern Road at Castle Hill was issued an occupation certificate late last month despite its shocking condition.
With the certificate issued, purchasers are essentially forced to pay up what they owe or face financial penalties.
Hills Shire Council General Manager Michael Edgar told Ray Hadley last Wednesday what's unfolded at the property on Old Northern Road is "systematic of a reoccurring problem".
It's now becoming common practice for "cowboy" private certifiers to issue an occupation certificate whether a unit block is ready to be lived in or not.
Mr Edgar tells Ray there has been "a lot of work" done on the block at Castle Hill since they spoke last week, but the issue isn't resolved as yet.
"Our officers went out with NSW Fire Brigade last week as expected. That inspection was mainly confined to the five safety elements of the building.
Council has written to the Building Professionals Board about their concerns.
"We've made some observations that they need to attend to, and certainly they need to satisfy themselves that the certification of the building was appropriate," Mr Edgar says.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe
by Mike Barnard August 17, 2008
Who wanted another X Files movie? C'mon, own up! Hardly seen on television screens anymore, Lost and Heroes provide the all multi-faceted storylines we need to see these days and even manage to make more sense than the tiresome Files "mythology". The latter was used to spearhead the 1998 movie Fight the Future, but for I Want to Believe creator Chris Carter has left that long and winding subject to the series finale and moves on to focus on how FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are getting on with life outside the bureau.
When the eerie whistling of the X Files theme song drifts over the opening shot of a night sky, I Want to Believe faithfully re-creates the feel of the original series which saw UFO-bliever Mulder investigating paranormal phenomenon while Scully tried to rationalise his every thought with scientific explanation. We meet convicted paedophile priest Father Joseph Crissman (Billy Connolly) who claims he is having visions of a missing FBI agent and has developed the knack of uncovering dead body parts. It's not long before Scully is called away from her job of caring for a terminally-ill patient to find Mulder and get him on the case.
Not the conclusive chapter anyone was hoping for, let alone wanted.
Scully's new-found purpose in life is off-set by a bearded Mulder holding himself up in a room full of press cuttings, seemingly still obsessed with finding his daughter who he believed was taken by a flying saucer. Reluctantly returning to help the FBI, Mulder once again gets caught up in the paranormal activity much to Scully's frustration and disbelief. She needs to return to her work oln a stem cell cure for her patient, but warns Mulder not to continue as it risks them being about to stay together.
In its heyday, this screenplay would have been dismissed before even being pitched to series bosses, but somehow Chris Carter himself compiled this nonsense and sad excuse for an X-File, deeming it worthy of a big screen outing. Perhaps the 30 million dollar budget had an impact on the development time, leading to limited filming locations, poor range of characters and only vague moments to quicken the pulse. It's insipid exposition has no air of mystery like the mythology episodes, no smoking man in the background looking sinister. The ramshackle plot involving organ transplants and Connolly's laughable (in all the wrong ways) priest pushes patience to the limit and beyond. Carter seems to have wanted to giv closure to Mulder and Scully using the scenes they share, but nothing is resolved and the end is no more satisfying than your daily cup of coffee: same as ever. It's just for I Want to Believe you have to put up with an additional hour on top of the 40 minutes of a bad episode. Not the conclusive chapter anyone was hoping for, let alone wanted.


The best primary schools across Essex have been revealed and you can now find out where yours ranks.
The Real Schools Guide 2018 is now in its fifth year, and takes into account 44 different data points - including not just KS2 results but factors like progress, pupil-teacher ratios and absence rates when determining the best - and worst - that the county has to offer.
Perryfields Junior School in Chelmsford is the best state-funded primary school in the county, and the fourth best school in England, according to The Real Schools Guide 2018, compiled by Essex Live's data unit, which aims to give a far more comprehensive picture than traditional league tables.
The Guide , now in its fifth year, has been praised by education experts alike. Dr Elaine McCreery Head of Primary Initial Teacher Education at Manchester Metropolitan University, said the guide could help parents make decisions about which school to apply for or be useful for those with children already at schools to get involved and support the school.
With the deadline on Monday for primary school applications, parents are being encouraged to use the new guide as a useful tool to choose the best school for their child.

Reser Stadium project takes step forward with west side demolition
Reser Stadium's west side comes down Friday morning on the OSU campus in Corvallis. (Photo by Logan Hannigan-Downs/Philomath News)
The west side of Reser Stadium came crashing down on Friday morning on the Oregon State University campus in Corvallis. The planned demolition, part of the "Completing Reser" project, could be heard in Philomath and beyond.
Scott Barnes, OSU vice president and director of athletics, said during a video-recorded interview with Mike Parker that an implosion was the safest and most economical way to go with bringing down the structure.

"Really a seminal moment, I think, for Beaver Nation and all of the folks that have been involved and have talked about renovating the west side for years," Barnes told Parker. "This really sort of marks the moment where we move forward and get this project done."
Originally named Parker Field, the stadium dates back to 1953 with several renovations following through the decades. It was renamed in 1999 to honor Al and Pat Reser, OSU graduates and major donors to athletics.
The $153 million project includes construction of the new west side of the stadium, a welcome center for prospective new students and their families, and a wellness clinic for students, OSU employees and community members.
"It really does mark a huge set of forward-moving parts," Barnes said. "It is absolute progress when you say this project is ready to go, let's knock it down. The funding is in place, the plans are in place, we've been working strategically for some four years to get to this moment in time where we can actually press go."

The project is expected to be completed before the start of the 2023 football season. It is being funded by more than $90 million in philanthropy — including $50 million from an anonymous donor — raised by the OSU Foundation and by revenues from football stadium activities. Various revenue sources will fund the wellness center, and new revenues from enrollment growth will fund the student welcome center.
"I think about all the years and the folks that came before," Barnes said. "I think about those who sit on the west side and have so many legacy memories with family and just asking them to hang in there for a year. … What they'll have when they come back will be unbelievable and so just want those folks to know we're thinking about them."
Steve Clark, OSU vice president for university relations and marketing, said prior to the event that the decision to implode the westside stadium was all about safety.
"Instead of using a traditional demolition process to take apart such a large structure and tall roof canopy in pieces, implosion of the stadium by a licensed contractor will contribute to OSU community, worker and public safety during demolition," Clark said in a news release.
To ensure safety during the implosion, residential, commercial and campus structures within 500 feet of the stadium's west side were unoccupied during the event. In addition, Clark had said occupants of buildings within 1,000 feet of the stadium were to be asked to remain indoors and away from exterior windows and patios. Streets in the area also were closed to all traffic — vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles for roughly 10 minutes before and after the implosion activities.

Q: Return all courses a student is taking (Many to Many SQL Database example) I'm fairly new to MySQL, and trying to understand the many-to-many relationship since these examples can popup in interviews
There are 3 tables, and since a Student can have many courses and a Course can have many students, this is a Many-to-Many relationship right?
The tables are
Student- has student ID, name, date of birth, and department.
Courses- Has ID, Name of course
Student_Courses- Has student_id, course_id
How would I display these 2 questions-
1) Given a studentID, return all the names of the courses the student is taking
2) Return the name of students who is taking X amount of courses or more (Ex. 4 or more courses).
Im trying to write queries on these, but I'm stuck...

A: In the case of selecting all of the courses for a given student ID you could try the following, which will return one row for each Course a Student is associated with.
select
  s.name as StudentName,
  c.name as CourseName
from `Student` as s
  inner join `Student_Course` as sc on (sc.student_id = s.ID)
  inner join `Course` as c on (c.ID = sc.course_id)
where
  (s.`ID` = 'given_Student_ID_here')
;

As for selecting a list of the names of Students taking N or more courses, for this you might use an aggregating sub-select as a WHERE clause in which we reference one of the outer tables (i.e. [Student]) so that the result of the aggregation is personalised per Student record:
select
  s.name as StudentName
from `Student` as s
where
  (
    (
      select count(*)
      from `Student_Course` as sc
        inner join `Course` as c on (c.ID = sc.course_id)
      where (sc.student_id = s.ID)
    ) >= 4
  )
;

You might also consider an alternative approach to this second problem by using the GROUP BY and HAVING clauses:

Upper Perkiomen High School will be closed for the week, beginning Sept. 14, to allow for the proper cleanup of mold and equipment repairs to prevent future problems.
According to a posting by Superintendent, Dr. Alexis McGloin, on the Upper Perkiomen School District website, some surface mold was first noticed in areas of the high school over the summer break. Soon thereafter, the District employed 1Source Safety and Health Inc. and BELFOR Property Restoration to address those mold and moisture problems.
The areas of surface mold were cleaned, the air was scrubbed, air filters were proactively replaced, and dehumidifiers were brought in.
However, the wet weather continued and the system simply couldn't keep up.
As the environmental conditions remain unchanged, officials felt it was important to have 1Source and BELFOUR look deeper into to root of the moisture problem in the high school.
They have suggested that significant changes be made to the high school's oldest HVAC system to make it more efficient and take steps to alleviate our moisture problem. They also recommended cleaning the affected areas and ductwork, to ensure that the problem is remediated effectively.
The oldest section of the high school was opened for students in September of 1968.

Robia LaMorte had finally began to live her dream life, when it came to her being a dancer. For she would soon find herself performing in music videos with artist like: Debbie Gibson and Prince (whom she actually toured with). On top of this, she was also landing acting roles in Hollywood, and appearing on shows like 90210.
No doubt about it, money was flowing and life was great; but her heart was searching for something deeper. And it's for this reason, she would begin a spiritual journey, that would lead her to things like Yoga, Meditation, and the New-Age Movement. However, in spite of this, she still could not find the spiritual answers she longed for.
Watch how she talks about, how her friend challenged her to read the Bible; and how from that point forward, little by little, Jesus Christ was able to fill the spiritual void that she had long hoped, that would be filled, while changing her life around for the better

Andrew Franklin's mother talks about how at the age of eight, how her son had a rare massive stroke, which effected the left side of his brain. Doctors doubted much of him being able to have a natural recovery, and so therefore decided to do major brain surgery. Which is something, that's rarely done a person Andrew's age. Considering... the surgery went well for him, but his recovery would still be a very daunting task to state the least. Andrew would be unconscious for two weeks thereafter, and it's for this reason, the doctors had projected very grim news for the young boy when it came to his recovery. See how Jesus stepped in and changed his situation for the better.

The circuit can be easily tested by connecting a 6 volts supply to line terminals 1 and 2. A hissing sound will be heard from the loudspeaker. Now connect 6V AC from a transformer to terminals 1 and 2 and observe hum in the loudspeaker. The volume of the hum can be changed through potentiometer VR1. Diodes D6 and D7 limit the input below В± 700 mV.
Bad design. The schematic has several problems.
1. D6 and D7 should be connected in parallel, not in series.
2. Output speaker current flows through the audio transformer primary. Feedback will cause oscillations or severe distortion.
3. Loop DC current through the transformer. Extreme distortion.
4. Zener and transformer are in series with phone. Extra voltage drop probably will cause the Central Office to drop the call.

Q: Xamarin: InitializeComponent () is too complex I am currently developing an App for IOS and Android with Xamarin Forms. I am debugging with my Android device.
Starting yesterday, when trying to build and test my solution, it falls into a break state before the App is even loaded.
The exception is:
System.InvalidProgramException: Method wuut.Discover:InitializeComponent () is too complex.
It works when I unplug my Android device and open the App on developer mode. But I really need the Console etc. so right now, I am unable to continue developing my app.
I looked up the exception on Google but couldn't really find anything similar to my problem.
The error occurs inside InitializeComponent on one of my Contentpages containing an AbsoluteLayout.
The AbsoluteLayout is rather big with 5400 Lines of Code. So looking into the error messages, I tried to remove a few chunks of my XAML and it started working again.
So my question is: Does XAML or Xamarin have some limitations on how big an AbsoluteLayout/Contentpage should be? If not, how would I resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance and kind regards

Rachna Bisht Rawat's 'Insomnia' is an engaging collection of tales about the Indian Army
Author Rachna Bisht Rawat with her golden retriever, Hukum | Photo Credit: Special Arrangement
'Stop him', she said hoarsely. 'I have seen those shoes before.'
The lines end the chilling Home Alone, a story in Rachna Bisht Rawat's latest book Insomnia. It places the revered bond of an Army officer, his family and his buddy (referred to as batman, sahayak or Man Friday over the years) under a different spotlight, one that is often hidden behind the hedgerows that line the prim and proper world of cantonments.
With tales such as these, Rawat steps away from her four previous books on the Indian Army that celebrate the soldier's derring-do in the nation's many wars. She instead turns the focus on human emotions — love, compassion, camaraderie, horror and trauma — that pepper the life of men and women in uniform and lifts the veil on their little-known personal lives.
Rawat, a former journalist, Harry Brittain fellow and winner of the Commonwealth Press Quarterly's Rolls Royce Award wrote many of these stories when she was a young Army wife living in the sleepy border town of Ferozepur a decade ago. "These stories came much before my published books," says Rawat over phone from Delhi. "I wrote sitting in my garden, near a bamboo thicket, the strains of the Gurbani wafting over the mustard fields. This year during lockdown, with only Hukum, my golden retriever, for company, I wrote a few more. They helped me get over the sadness I encountered when interviewing families for my previous book, Kargil."
Rawat comes from sturdy Army stock. Daughter, sister and wife of Army officers, she has had "men in olive-green around for a lifetime, walking all over my carpet and my heart, with their dirty DMS boots, driving me insane with their unpredictable lives, and melting me completely with a salute and a smile."
The real picture
But in the 17 stories in Insomnia (published by Penguin), Rawat portrays an emotive picture of the lives of soldiers, their families and their brotherhood — "stories which only could be written by someone closely related to the Army," says former Chief of Army Staff General VP Malik in the book.
Rawat, however, says that in writing about what war poet Wilfred Owen calls "the pity of war", she has laid bare hidden facets of Army life.
"Life in cantonments remains unchanged. Time stops here, the ethos is the same; so my stories written then will resonate even now. Although fictionalised, some of the stories are loosely based on real events. In writing about PTSD, murder, human rights violations and the horrors of war, I have not won brownie points with some in the Army fraternity. For my previous books, I had to get requisite permissions. This book, I wrote with my hands untied."
Insomnia: Army Stories published by Penguin | Photo Credit: Special Arrangement
The stories are vintage Rawat. Sprinkled with equal measures of hope and horror, her lucid prose tells it as it is. But to get to this reality, a different register is used. There are heroes in ferocious combat assaults fighting the enemy while also fighting for the version of the truth that will be in the official records; a retired general who is haunted by voices of dead men; the emotional connection of enemy soldiers in freezing Siachen; the dark secret of a Major operating incognito in Kashmir; the surprise heading towards the all-male bastion of 13 Para; the spirits a child at Landsdowne Military Hospital converses with while she awaits brain surgery; and a speeding bullet on an ordinary day that changes the course of an extraordinary life.
There are also a couple based on her own experiences; Munni Mausi that won a commendation for the 2008 Commonwealth Short Story Competition is a bitter-sweet tale of love, longing and loss.
There are the landscapes that Rawat conjures — the mind-numbing freeze of the Greater Himalayas, the nimbus grey of Northeast India's skies, dinner nights in teak-panelled messes, the officer as an unwilling tourist in Bangkok — and has down pat.
And there is the mythic heft. In a country where, often, it is the heroism of these men that is highlighted, Rawat sidesteps undue triumphalism and shows them as boys next door, warts and all, trying to stay sane and human in difficult circumstances. This anthology should be read by anyone keen to know what lies beneath the Olive Green.

EAU17: EAU – CAU meeting delivers new approaches
The joint meeting of the EAU and the Confederación Americana de Urologia (CAU) held yesterday focused on varied topics ranging from new insights on upper tract tumour conservative management, comparison of radical prostatectomy (RP) and radiation therapy (RT), robotic surgery in cystectomy, to focal therapy, and many others.
This Urology Beyond Europe session kicked off with the presentation of Prof. Alberto Briganti (IT) on RP versus RT for high-risk localised prostate cancer (PCa). He said surgery is the treatment of choice for aggressive PCa because RP allows individualised treatment, multimodal approach, decrease the rates of over-treatment, and no secondary malignancies for younger and healthier patients.
"In the absence of well-done randomised controlled trials (RCTs), RP should not be compared to RT with hormonal therapy (HT). However, RT + HT does not represent the standard treatment for locally advanced prostate cancer. RP alone can be curative for locally advanced patients," said Briganti.
According to Dr. Octavio Castillo (CL), robotic radical cystectomy (RRC) remains the "hardest urological operation [to perform] to date". He said that RRC is technically feasible with acceptable short and immediate term oncological results. There is less blood loss and duration of hospital stay compared to open cystectomy. RRC is equal to open cystectomy in terms of extirpative, oncologic and reconstructive ways. Routine use of RRC although remains to be proven, intracorporeal urinary diversion will make the difference.
On his lecture on the conservative management of the upper tract tumour, Dr. Alberto Breda (ES) said that tumours less than 2cm in size can be treated with endoscopy. Digital RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery) should be performed to diagnose and treat these tumours, and to treat low-grade tumours with laser. He also mentioned confocal microscopy, a tool that can give intraoperative diagnosis of a cell instead of a tumour. Breda said, "This is an in-vivo procedure that, when this technology is applied to a tumour, you are able to see whether the cell has a lot of mitosis, an indication of a high-grade disease."
Dr. Rafael Sanchez-Salas (FR) cited studies with outcomes that included Focal Therapy (FT) as a safe and effective treatment for low-risk PCa. Sanchez- Salas said improved imaging has drastically changed the PCa pathway in terms of diagnosis, treatment decision and planning, and outcomes control. Selection for MRI and biopsies depend on disease and patient factors.
"FT therapy trials for PCa are at the early stage of clinical development. More clinical evidence is needed to further enhance PCa treatments," concluded Sanchez-Salas.

Oprah Winfrey warned her off. Even so, Raven Symone — best known for her roles on "The Cosby Show" and "That's So Raven" — did something truly brave for a young actress: She rejected the identity politics that so often prevails in our public life.
"I'm tired of being labeled," she told Winfrey. "I'm an American. I'm not an African-American. I'm an American . . . I have darker skin. I have a nice, interesting grade of hair. I connect with Caucasian.
The critics came at her fast and furious. Some called her delusional. Others said she was self-hating.
In short, any honest person looking at what she said knows this woman didn't reject either her race or her sexuality. All she rejected were the labels.
So Raven — and so well said.

Bird carvings are an enjoyable collection to display. They are quiet, with no clean up. Birds carved of wood and stone have value based on the artist and technique, and of course like all things collected, rarity. Many birds in the collection are anonymous, their maker unknown. I never have been interested in how "real" a bird looks. What I look for is the unique individuality of the carver's hand.

Yeah, seems weird. Why pay all that for his legal defense then kill himself less than a week later?
I try to feel compassion for his fiancé and daughter.... other then that what an absolute waste of God given ability. He sought out that life style, he wasn't born into it. What a selfish individual.

Bakery, an Austin, Texas, independent creative and technology agency, does work for Fortune 500 brands including Diageo, Nike, Audi and Humana as well as startups like iFly. It's equally proud of its culture of diversity and inclusivity.
Dominican Republic native Micky Ogando, president and chief creative officer, says nearly half of the agency's 20 employees are female, and 75 percent belong to a minority or multicultural group. It's one of the reasons Bakery was chosen second-best among companies with up to 200 employees in Ad Age Best Places to Work 2020.

Employees are drawn to Bakery because they don't want to be pigeonholed by their ethnicities, says Ogando.
"It was about being able to target people from different backgrounds, who come from different experiences," says Ogando, "but don't want to be exclusively defined by those experiences in the work they do."
Work-life balance is a priority. The agency offers an unlimited amount of paid time off (starting from the day an employee is hired); ample maternal and paternal leave with a flexible end date and partial paid time off; and "summer skip" days where the team hangs out together. Bakery also does not require or expect employees to respond outside of business hours.
Moreover, it's forbidden to contact an employee on PTO about work. Employees also get an annual creative stipend to spend on self-improvement. In the past, the agency has paid employees for buying a surfboard, a gym membership and for following Radiohead on tour.
