NY NOW® announces strict health + safety protocols for Winter 2022 Market
by Paola Payano | Jan 6, 2022
New York, NY (January 6, 2022) – The New York Gift Show – NY NOW® announced today strict guidelines in its health and safety protocols for its Winter Market at the Javits Center in New York City. With the health, safety, and support of its community of small businesses across home, design, accessories and more in mind, NY NOW is pleased to report that the Winter Market is on track to safely welcome buyers, customers, partners, and employees on February 6-9, 2022.
In accordance with guidance from New York State, the New York City Department of Health & Hygiene and World Health Organization, NY NOW has implemented additional health and safety measures to ensure the safest possible environment for attendees to effectively conduct business.
Furthering its commitment to creating a safe, comfortable, and informative eventmeg experience, NY NOW will have an increased number of health + safety ambassadors throughout the venue to ensure guidelines are being followed and provide masks to guests who may need one. All attendees including staff members, exhibitors, customers, buyers, and partners will be required to show proof of vaccination via a CDC Vaccination Card or approved app at the entrances prior to receiving a badge and must always wear a mask once inside the Javits Center.
NY NOW held a safe and successful show this past Summer 2021 at the Javits Center, NYC which is among one of the safest venues in the country. The Javits Center has achieved Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) accreditation, meaning it follows the highest standards for cleaning and sanitization. Hospital-grade High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are located throughout the venue, which improves filtration and allows for the entire volume of air in the venue to be exchanged five times a day. See more details here about current health protocols.
"We understand how important the NY NOW tradeshow is to the health of our small business community of retailers and exhibitors,". said Karalynn Sprouse, EVP, NY NOW. "With an enhanced staff onsite, we are confident that the show can safely return in person this February. We've seen the demand for an in-person show by way of registrations and have already exceeded the total number of exhibitors from our NY NOW Summer 2021 Market. We know our community depends on NY NOW to bring them together safely to conduct business and we are committed to making this a safe and successful event for everyone."

Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water has become one of the first utilities to upgrade its water treatment monitoring systems to the new Aztec range from ABB. The ABB Aztec 600 colorimetric range combines Aztec�s proven and patented �wet technology� with the advanced electronic platform of ABB�s ScreenMaster data recorders.
Welsh Water has already installed the new systems at nine water treatment works, where the company is monitoring aluminium and iron using ABB�s Aztec 600 series, as well as phosphate, manganese and nitrate levels using Aztec 1000 units. The deployment was part of a contract that also included instrumentation for conductivity and pH measurement.
By combining the Aztec fluid handling systems with ABB�s electronics platform, the ABB Aztec 600 range provides powerful, compact and reliable on-line colorimetric analysis of the main water treatment parameters, enabling companies to control costs by fine-tuning their dosing and treatment systems.
Easy operation and maintenance are two key benefits of the Aztec 600 family.
Front-mounted pushbuttons and a familiar Windows� environment combine with common operation and commissioning across the range using a menu-based system. The analysers feature a full-colour graphical display, while process data and historical logs are securely archived to a removable SD card. Notification of important events or current measurement status, can be emailed directly to multiple recipients using the built-in SMTP client, through the on-board ethernet communications link.
The Aztec 600 colorimetric range is designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. Each unit uses a single, piston pump to handle all sample and reagent fluids. This reduces the amount of maintenance required for external cleaning of sample lines, changing reagents and annual servicing. Thanks to the modular design of the analysers, operators can also benefit from common spares, consumables and maintenance procedures across the whole range.
Built for reliability, the Aztec 600 colorimetric analysers feature automatic two-point calibration. Various self-cleaning abilities to ensure that the optical cell and analyser tubing used for sample measurements remain free of residual particles between each analysis. A patented mechanical cleaning function uses the piston movement to wipe the optical cell with every measurement.
For more information about the Aztec 600, email moreinstrumentation@gb.abb.com ref. 'Aztec 600' or call 0870 600 6122.

Q: $\ell$-adic Weil cohomology theory I have a reference or counterexample request. Suppose $k$ is a field and $\ell\neq char(k)$. There are several common references that show that $H^i_{et}(-, \mathbb{Q}_\ell )$ is a Weil cohomology theory when $k$ is separably closed.
I've spent several hours skimming through Milne's Etale Cohomology, the 1994 Motives volume, SGA articles, online searches, etc and I can't seem to determine whether or not $\ell$-adic cohomology forms a Weil cohomology theory when you don't assume you are in some "geometric" situation by making assumptions on the field.
Is there a reference that proves this is still a Weil cohomology theory or is it just false in this case? Thanks.
(This might be in SGA somewhere, but my skimming of French is rather slow and any specific related statement I find tends to throw in being over an algebraically closed field.)
Edit/Update: Everyone is commenting on the non-finitely generatedness, so I'll be more specific. That isn't really the interesting thing to me. Do you still have some sort of cycle class map that behaves nicely (functorially)? For instance, that paper Timo listed seems to imply that as long as finiteness is satisfied when you plug in a particular variety, everything else seems to be fine, but I haven't had time to seriously look at it yet.

A: See e.g. the first page of Uwe Jannsen, Continuous étale cohomology: Link (For varieties over number fields, the cohomology groups in question will in general not be finite dimensional.)


Tropolism: Milliken And Springs Buildings: Not The Same!
Milliken And Springs Buildings: Not The Same!
Two of my favorite buildings are pictured here, at the corner of Sixth Avenue and 39th/40th Streets. For the longest time I thought they were both the Milliken Building. Yet I let the fact checker loose and they turn out to be not the same building.
The Milliken Company Office Building, the low gray box you see in front, was designed by we-don't-know. Songlines says James D. Stephen, but this site seems to believe that Carson + Lundin Architect in 1958. The fact checker is confused. One thing is clear, it was done in an era where the 8-story office headquarters on Sixth Avenue made perfect sense.
It has gorgeous street-level details: Stripes of black granite set between stainless steel strips. And the lobby has been immaculately maintained: checkerboard florescent lights and original door hardware. It is one of the few examples of a pleasurably rich, yet modern, street lobby.
The Springs Building was designed by Harrison Abramovitz 1963. I did a project for an internet startup in this building (it never got built, September 2000 happened and all bubbles popped). It has a gorgeously shaped floorplate, with amazing views of Bryant Park. The size of each floorplate is ridiculously unusable except for internet startups that require no walls, conference rooms, or anything more than 3,500 square feet of useable space.


Just because a product is natural doesn't mean that it is safe or better. Rotenone is a natural pesticide because it is a chemical extracted from roots, seeds and leaves of tropical plants including the Jewel vine, derris, and hoary pea. It is used as an organic pesticide for home-grown fruits and vegetables and for killing unwanted fish in lakes and rivers.
When a pond is overgrown with an undesirable type of fish, rotenone can be added to the pond. It kills all the fish, and then is broken down by bright sunlight in two to six days. Then the pond can be safely restocked with a more desirable type of fish. It is also found in 680 compounds sold to kill insects on foods, prized flowers and infected household pets.
A study to be published in the December 2000 issue of Neuroscience shows that rotenone causes Parkinson's disease in animals. It is the second chemical found to cause Parkinson's disease. In 1983, contaminated heroin also caused symptoms of this disease. Rotenone is a likely suspect because people working in farms are seven times more likely to suffer Parkinson's disease. Rotenone damages the same small part of the brain called the substantia nigra, produces the same cell changes called Lewy bodies, destroys the same chemical called dopamine, and causes the same symptoms of shaking, depressed looking face, hunched over posture and muscle stiffness. Time will tell if this is a major breakthrough.

It would not be your will to have home additions with unsatisfactory outcome.The following tips will help you on how you can make your home addition project organized to get the desired results.
First, you need to determine the place where you need home additions in your house to be constructed as it will be the plan that will assist you in the process of home addition. The type of room that you need as well as the facilities needed should be included in your plan. Since you need guidance on the entire process of home additions, ensure that you discuss these matters with an expert .
Before coming up with a design, make sure you consider the look of your house first. The way your house appears, as well as its design, should be compatible to the entire house. The first thing you should consider before thinking about adding a room in your house is the look of the whole house. But, you can come up with a nice home addition if you can ask for an architect or interior designer assistance on some things.It is beneficial if you can seek for their help since they are more experienced than yourself. Moreover, an experienced architect or interior designer is there to assist you in making your plan better and not to change it. Things must not go as you always wanted and in such a case be contented and never get worried.
After discussing with the builders concerning everything, you are required to tell them how you want the room to look like. Your builders will need a detailed report from you that will assist them to adjust accordingly where need be.

Q: typeahead doesn't fetch data from the table after adding some html elements I'm trying to use auto complete search with typeahead.jsand this is the code I tried and its working perfectly and output the suggestion list.
Controller
 public function autocomplete(Request $request){
            $data = Product::select("name")
                    ->where("name","LIKE","%{$request->input('name')}%")->get();
                    return response ()->json($data);
        }

Now what I need to do is pass some extra elements with that fetched data , something like relevant url of the product via . So I have updated my code as below.
New code in the controller
 public function autocomplete(Request $request){
        $products = Product::
        where("name","LIKE","%{$request->input('name')}%")->get();
        $setting = 157.5;
        $data = [];
        foreach ($products as $product){

            $data .= '
$product->id,'slug'=>$product->getSlug()]).'">
'.$product->name.'

'.number_format(($product->minimum_price)*$setting->value, 2, '.', ',').' LKR

';
        }
                return response ()->json($data);
    }

But when I type a text in the search bar console out put a error message as a internal error and it doesn't output anything.
This is the snap of console

Could anyone please help me on this. Thanks
UODATE 01
When $data = []; it generate below error

When I change $data = []; to $data = ''; in Networks I can see that Network successfully transfer data but no output

Update 03 after modified as shkory's answer

I am always asked if the piano is worth learning. Is it possible to achieve anything? Is it a suitable hobby? Or something which children tend to endure rather like maths at school.
1. Music brings us all so much happiness – it really is very central to our lives. It is important to be given the chance to make music because it can give us an emotional and creative outlet.
2. Playing an instrument is an excellent source of pleasure and fulfilment and can provide a deep sense of satisfaction.
3. The piano provides both melody and harmony, therefore it can be played solo without any accompaniment. This is not the case with many other musical instruments (like the clarinet or violin which only produce one line, usually the melody line, so an accompaniment is always needed).
4. It is possible to make coherent sounds on the piano from the very beginning because it has ready-made pitches (you depress a key and it makes a sound) unlike other instruments where it can take many months of study before a pleasant sound is produced (this is true of brass and string instruments especially).
5. Mastering the piano requires a tremendous amount of co-ordination (you really do have to multi-task!) so this can cultivate many useful mental skills. It really focuses the mind.
6. It has been proved that children (and adults) who take part in musical activities are happier and more sociable than those who don't.
7. The study of music is an extension of the learning process so children who excel at piano playing often do well at school too.
8. Playing the piano provides a ready-made opportunity to perform. Performing is so important for everybody. If practised regularly, it builds confidence – which, as we all know, is crucial for success in all walks of life.
9. It can develop a passion and an interest in life.
All you need to do now is motivate yourself to get playing. Good luck and have fun.
Categories Uncategorized•Tags 10 reasons to play the piano, The benefits of piano playing, Why should I learn to play the piano?
Great blog. I hardly ever play at all these days… you've reminded me of why I should!
Thank you Barbara! Yes, its always a good idea to keep playing – it so good for the mind!
An excellent post Mel. I will be using this in the future!
A very inspiring blog, Mel. I always wanted to learn the piano when I was little but never had the chance. Is it ever too late to learn?
If it helps Emma, I am learning at the age of 54. I hope that you give it a try!
So glad you enjoyed this blog post. Its absolutely never to late to learn the piano. It is a great hobby that will certainly inspire you and keep your brain active! Just make sure you get the right teacher as this is the most important thing really.
Two piano teachers in the city where I live have told me that I'm 'awkward'. I started learning at 36, now I'm 42, have given up once before and now, after I've failed my grade 3 I'm thinking of throwing in the towel for good and sticking my piano on Ebay, forever holding a grudge against my parents who persistently told me no when I asked if I could go to piano lessons as a young boy.
The fact is that when you are on two lots of medication , including a bromide based antidepressant drug, everything takes so much longer to sink in, so you study harder, practice more rigourously and the enjoyment of learning the instrument just peters out. Yet the piano teachers I've dealt with in the past never seem to realise my predicament. I guess it's because they're used to teaching nice little middle-class kids with pushy parents and who are afraid to ask questions.
Is there no room for a therapeutic value to learning to play a musical instrument, and just like my prejudiced parents told me many years ago, is going to piano lessons just not even thought about if you happen to be from a lower-class background?? And should learning the piano be a cause for, or a relief from anxiety and stress?? (It should be the latter in my honest opinion).
Hope you didn't sell your piano.
Many would say that playing any instrument is "a relief from anxiety and stress".
Many would agree with you that playing any instrument is "a relief from anxiety and stress".
Glad you find it fun Kathy and enjoy your piano playing!
65% of my pupils are adults 🙂 and most of them are 50+. The joy of watching an adult get through an exam (had 67 year old do grade 4 theory yesterday) or playing at a soiree is superb.
Thank you…I am thrilled reading all your reasons for playing the piano. I agree 100%! I have been playing since I was a little girl, and I now have my own students, and I can just say; playing the piano gives so much joy and satisfaction!
It's hard to come by educated people in this particular topic, however, you seem like you know what you're talking about!
Thank you, so glad you find my blog useful….you are right, there are many who write on this subject but are really amateurs!
Great post Mel and completely agree with all your points!
I am 35 now. I've been taking lessons for the past 8-9 months and fiddling with piano (digital) myself for the last 3-4 years. I didn't read music and had no musical background; I just enjoy it. I did not have any lofty goals when I started. I just wanted to learn and make some decent music. Yes, there are frustrating times, but then I take breaks, for a few minutes, sometimes hours or days. Breaks really help; they give time to think, contemplate and rejuvenate. Like you, I need time to understand anything, but I keep pursuing. I learn about harmony, I watch videos of both instructions and recitals, and I take up anything one at a time. I love the learning process itself. It is challenging but I like the challenge. I have a 7-year old autistic son and 2 month old baby boy at home. I have a demanding job. I hardly get time but I make do whenever I can.
My parents were same as yours. But they don't decide for me anymore and I am pursuing my dreams and interests now by myself.
I was hesitant to get a teacher as I thought I am too old to learn from a teacher. But my wife saw my immense interest in music and pushed me to go to a teacher. I thank her greatly for it. I am so lucky that my teacher is immensely talented and adept at inspiring his students. He is old but passionate. Please don't loose heart. Shop for good teacher who inspires until you find one. My teacher when starting to teach a new piece, he starts by telling about the composer and the piece, then he gives superb advice on every nuance it requires and makes it easy for me. I fall between late elementary and early intermediate. All my teachers' students are young ones. I am the only one over even 20. I am totally at home with him.
1. Find a good teacher. Ask around and don't stop till you find one with good attitude.
2. Don't loose heart. Keep learning, learn from books and web resources, keep experimenting, keep playing and keep motivated. The idea is to have fun.
Melanie can give you better advice on the playing itself and about people learning from all age groups. But I only want to share about my life with music to motivate you (especially the fact that I am a big time quitter and I pursue piano for so long should help too :)).
Hope you never give up and make the music you love.
In any case I will be subscribing on your rss feed and I hope you write again soon!
Excellent and very motivating post. We would like to publish it in our blog http://blog.ripbeat.com/ under your name and linked to this blog. May we?
I like how you pointed out that learning the piano is beneficial since it hones your mental skills be requiring you to focus your mind on coordination. I've been thinking of enrolling my daughter in piano, so it's good to know she can benefit from it mentally. Hopefully this benefit will transfer well into a school atmosphere for her too.
I never thought of piano as an excellent way to hone my twin's ability to multi-task as you've mentioned. As of the moment, one of them is pleasing for a piano lesson, so maybe I'll grant her request. Additionally, I'll have my son join in too since he can use the extracurricular activity. I hope this would be a good investment for their future since there's nothing that I would love more than for them to be happy. Thanks for sharing some reasons for my kids to learn the piano! Kudos to you!

Why I left London to renovate an 1870's chateau in Burgundy
Sometimes we run around so busy with life, that we've become experts at being busy but are we really making a difference? Will's story is a breath of fresh air, a scientist and strategist by training but grew up as a drug dealer, spent some time living with nomads in Mongolia, moved through the corporate work at a bank and has now left London to renovate a chateau in a small village in France.

Everything Is Alive, a very strange and weird unscripted podcast that features Ian Chillag, interviewing a range of inanimate objects, including a can of coke, a subway seat, a tooth, and a grain of sand. The objects are played by talented guests who are equal part hilarious and moving, each episode ends in a place that leaves you with one of my favorite feelings ever: uncertainty over whether I should feel upset or amused, and ultimately feeling both at the same time. Excerpts below for some insight.
"What does it feel like when you're at this party and you're waiting for the moment? When you think about being consumed by a human do you think about the human you want to be in?"
"I like to imagine that if you're drunk immediately, that instead of being a painful process there is this sort of first moment of relief the first moment the can is cracked open. All of this internal fizzing I have going on has somewhere to go. You are drowned out from your external can and you have this last moment of fulfilling your purpose and you begin to blend in with this human being and you become part of their story."

On Being: Mary Oliver — Listening to the World
An ode to the late Mary Oliver whose way of writing invites the reader to make her poems their own, to use them as a remedy for whatever they need in that moment. As a woman who loved being surrounded by nature and felt confined in buildings and small spaces we can't help but see that she lived her life exactly how she wrote her poems. This podcast is such an insightful glimpse into the life she led with her long term partner Molly Malone Cook. It's so beautiful to hear her read outloud her own poems and explain the attention to detail that comes with what she was feeling and thinking at the time. One of our favorite parts of this podcast is her talking about her 2-4 line poems, there is nothing else that needs to be said, "everything in addition to that is just decoration."

[FESTIVAL FAVORITES] WE USED TO KNOW EACH OTHER (2019)
Mar 5, 2019 Featured, Reviews	Tagged Americana Film Festival, Ashley Lenz, Ben Measor, Clare McNulty, Essa O'Shea, Hugo De Sousa, Joe Martin, Kickstarter, Las Vegas, Mackenzie Mathis, MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction, Philip Hirzel, Robert G. Putka, Vig Norris	Comments 0
Robert G. Putka's directorial feature film debut MAD was a huge surprise when it hit the festival circuit in 2016. (Full disclosure: This writer loved MAD so much that he enlisted Putka to do a voiceover cameo in his own film.) A cutting comedy/drama about a troubled woman and her two grown daughters who live very different lives dealing with the aftermath of their mother's nervous breakdown, MAD approached some devastating emotional territory with a sharp eye for detail fleshed out brilliantly by its three leads. It was the rough cinematic equivalent of hitting a grand slam on one's first at bat, and after a successful festival run MAD was picked up by distributor The Orchard and released on Netflix and Amazon following a brief theatrical run. Despite having an acclaimed feature under his belt, Putka's follow-up has taken some time to reach audiences. WE USED TO KNOW EACH OTHER shares some superficial similarities with MAD, but it puts an entirely different pair of characters under a deeply uncomfortable microscope. As its title suggests, the film is a portrait of a romantic relationship at its ragged end.
Hugo (Hugo de Sousa) is coming to America from Portugal to move in with his long-term and long-distance girlfriend Amanda (Essa O'Shea). They've been together for four years, but they haven't been on the same continent in nearly a year, and when we first meet them they're barely maintaining a conversation via Skype. When Hugo arrives at Amanda's house, their reunion is amicable but strained. Their first few hours together find the couple sniping at each other for a litany of seemingly minor issues that pile up rapidly. Amanda invites another couple (Clare McNulty and Ashley Lenz) over to meet Hugo and their conversation quickly steers into some pretty heavy stuff for a first meeting. When they all head out to a local bar, it gets even heavier when Hugo reveals some troubles he's had at home over the last few years that he has not told Amanda about. The next morning, Amanda feels compelled to tell Hugo something she's been keeping from him as well. Over the course of these two days, Hugo and Amanda will have to face some hard truths about themselves and what they both want from life and from each other.
Like MAD, the central characters in WE USED TO KNOW EACH OTHER feel utterly real–for better and for worse. It's just as brutally honest as Putka's debut, but these characters are not quite as immediately engaging as the central family in that previous film. We know very little about their lives outside the bubble of their relationship — especially Amanda — and that makes it a bit harder to emotionally invest in their fates. Hugo often comes off as petulant and casually cruel, although he does have unexpected moments of vulnerability. Those moments come few and far between, though, and Hugo's constant defensiveness makes it tough to identify with Amanda's interest in moving their relationship to the next level. For her part, Essa O'Shea really fleshes out Amanda in heartbreakingly effective ways. She's a smart, kind person who finds herself in an impossible situation of her own making, and every nuance of that is on the screen. It's that raw emotion that makes both films so compelling, but it also makes WE USED TO KNOW EACH OTHER a difficult watch.
While all this sounds like the film is an unrelenting downer, there are some moments of (usually bleak) humor in the back-and-forth between Amanda and Hugo. Putka also once again shows a talent for using peripheral characters to take some of the edge off of some harrowing subject matter. The director himself appears in a cameo as an oversharing cab driver, and McNulty and Lenz are so great together they'd clearly make fantastic leads in a separate film about their characters. Vig Norris also appears late in the film in a small but highly memorable role as a stranger who runs into Hugo sulking outside a convenience store. The dynamic between these two is weirdly charged, naturally shifting at a moment's notice from collegial to confrontational, and it's not a surprise that Putka's next feature project (currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter) focuses on characters played by these two actors. Everyone in the small cast has great chemistry, making it a pleasure to watch them interacting with each other even when those interactions are emotionally difficult.
Part of what makes WE USED TO KNOW EACH OTHER so uncomfortably immediate is its intimate approach to production: shot what looks like almost entirely with handheld cameras, the film use lengthy observational shots that force viewers to share the characters' headspace. This was no doubt by design, but also a practical choice. It's clear that this film was made with a fraction of the budget of MAD, but Putka and his collaborators use those restraints in their favor. They use the natural locations of Las Vegas as a way to tie the story and the characters to a specific place, but one defined by its inconstancy and illusions of glamor. This story doesn't take place on the strip, but its pair of central characters are taking a series of huge gambles with massive consequences. Shot by Mackenzie Mathis and Joe Martin, the film looks beautiful, every shot evoking a strong sense of place. Ben Measor returns from MAD as editor, and this film is cut to the bone — there's not a wasted frame to be found. The minimal but effective score by Philip Hirzel (another returning collaborator) is carefully and expertly deployed. It's a testament to what determined artists can do with minimal resources, and to the fact that ideas and characters are more important than any budget. While it may not quite hit the same heights as his lighting-in-a-bottle debut, WE USED TO KNOW EACH OTHER proves without question that Putka is a filmmaker with a singular voice well worth listening to- – even if we don't necessarily like what we hear.
WE USED TO KNOW EACH OTHER has its World Premiere at the Americana Film Festival on March 6th, 2019. For more information on the festival, visit their official site. For more information on the film, stay tuned to the official Facebook page for updates on future screenings.

Crypto Is Being Used For Some Dastardly Evil Plans In The Philippines
Philippine authorities save potential victims from a terrible fate
Crypto and the crime boom
Cryptocurrency has become a booming industry, with more and more people investing their money into digital assets. However, with the growth of the crypto market comes an increase in crypto-related scams and frauds. Recently, Philippine authorities have uncovered a "crypto trafficking ring" that is recruiting unsuspecting victims to work in call centers in Cambodia and scam people out of their cryptocurrencies. This situation serves as a cautionary tale for people to be more vigilant when it comes to investing in digital assets.
Saving Victims
The Philippine Bureau of Immigration (BI) recently announced that it has rescued six alleged victims of a "cryptocurrency trafficking ring." The BI officers intercepted the alleged victims as they were about to board a plane to Phnom Penh. The victims had fake return tickets and gave inconsistent answers when questioned by the officers, which raised suspicions that they were not tourists but were being recruited to work abroad. The victims eventually admitted that they were going to work in a call center in Cambodia and were recruited through Facebook.
The use of cryptocurrencies in criminal activities is not a new phenomenon. Since the inception of Bitcoin in 2009, it has been used for a variety of illegal activities such as money laundering, drug trafficking, and tax evasion. Criminals are drawn to the anonymity and global reach of cryptocurrencies, which makes it difficult for law enforcement agencies to trace transactions and identify the parties involved.
Call center scams
Call center scams, in particular, have become a major concern in parts of Asia. In this type of scam, victims are recruited to work in call centers, where they are trained to impersonate government officials or representatives of legitimate companies and trick people into sending them cryptocurrencies. These scams often target vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly or those with limited financial knowledge.
The U.S. government has been taking steps to address these issues. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has seized domain names used in pig butchering schemes, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has charged crypto firms for violating securities laws. The U.S. government has also been working closely with law enforcement agencies in other countries to combat crypto-related crimes.
Other countries have also been taking steps to address the challenges posed by the crypto market. In Asia, for example, countries such as Japan and South Korea have implemented strict regulations to prevent money laundering and fraud. The Philippines has also been taking steps to address crypto-related crimes, such as the recent "crypto trafficking ring" case.
The U.S. authorities have repeatedly warned about the rise of pig butchering schemes. In November of last year, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) seized seven domain names used in pig butchering schemes. An FBI official has warned people to be very careful when going on social media and dating apps and to be wary of people who start developing a relationship with them and want them to start investing.
Continued vigilance
The Philippine authorities are also investigating government employees who may have assisted crypto trafficking syndicates. The BI Commissioner has pledged to take action against any BI employees involved with crypto trafficking syndicates and has relieved an immigration officer who cleared the passengers for departure pending the outcome of an investigation. The Bureau of Immigration is currently investigating at least three persons of interest in the case.
The recent case of the "crypto trafficking ring" in the Philippines serves as a cautionary tale for people to be more vigilant when investing in digital assets. Crypto-related scams and frauds are becoming more prevalent, and people need to be more careful when going on social media and dating apps. The authorities are taking action to eliminate bad actors in the crypto industry, but it is also important for individuals to take responsibility for their own safety and be more aware of the risks involved in investing in digital assets. The crypto market has the potential to revolutionize the financial industry, but it is important for people to invest wisely and not fall victim to crypto-related scams and frauds.

Mr. Sampanthan's point is that he/she who is not with you is against you. Those who did not vote for your party, voted against you and your party– and you should add them all together. That's if you are Mr. Rajapaksa.
So, going by Mr. Sampanthan's argument against Mahinda Rajapaksa, a majority of Tamil voters in the Jaffna District – no less than 65%–where a majority of Northern Province resides, voted against the TNA! Indeed a greater majority voted against the TNA than did the island's people against Mahinda Rajapaksa, going by Mr. Sampanthan's argument.
What of the other districts? The same point holds true: the TNA had more votes or a greater percentage of votes cast against it.
Something that disturbed me about Mr. Sampanthan's recent parliamentary speech was that it was unintentionally ironic in the extreme. . Mr. Sampanthan does not occupy the moral high ground vis-a-vis Mahinda Rajapaksa. Not only has he no moral right –or empirical evidence– to occupy the post of the Leader of the Opposition he has not had the backbone to criticize the Tigers even though they are no longer a threat to him, for the crimes of murdering his own close colleagues and friends: Amirthalingam, Sivasithamparam, Yogeswaran, Mrs. Yogeswaran, and Neelan Tiruchelvam, to name only a few. Yet it is Mahinda Rajapaksa who he denounces, who ended the killing of his colleagues.
Mr. Sampanthan's folly is that he does not realize that the man he condemns, Mahinda Rajapaksa is the only counterweight to Sinhala ultra-nationalism; the only one who can contain it; the only firewall. Sampanthan's friends the UNP and the official SLFP are manifestly on the decline and before they depart the stage late next year, they, together with Mr. Sampanthan and Sumanthiran, would have provoked a powerful Sinhala backlash. As usual, Tamil nationalism here and overseas will comfort itself as it foolishly did in 2005, that a hardline Sinhala administration is but a stepping stone to Tamil Eelam with external intervention, but as was proved then, the old song from the musical Porgy & Bess, may once again prove itself right: "It Ain't Necessarily So".

Delhi HC issues notices to CCI, CREDAI and 20 realty developers over cartelisation, matter to be heard on Jan 18
The Delhi High Court has issued notices to CCI, CREDAI and developers seeking response to this petition and the matter is scheduled to be heard on January 18.
Tag:CREDAI| CCI| Tata Housing|BPTP
MUMBAI: Realty developers' troubles regarding allegations of cartelisation have got murkier as the petitioner has now moved the Delhi High Court against competition watchdog Competition Commission of India (CCI) itself.
The petition, along with CCI, has dragged builders' body Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI) and 20 prominent developers including Unitech, Tata Housing Development Co, BPTP, Oberoi Realty and Puravankara Projects, to the court. The petition is challenging the CCI's January order to close the case regarding allegation of cartelization among builders.
Following a complaint last year, CCI's investigation arm had prepared a report with findings that builders were engaged in unfair trade practices such as one-sided contracts with inadequate disclosures. The petition had then also alleged that the major realty developers were not disclosing crucial information such as total common area calculation and proportionate share of the apartment being sold on a super built-up area basis. CCI had, in January, dismissed the matter through an order.
"The case has been admitted in September this year. CCI had closed down the case on the grounds of insufficiency of evidence, whereas my contention is that evidence is not required due to presumption of law enshrined under section 3(3) of the Competition Act," said advocate Jyoti Swaroop Arora, who has challenged the anti-monopoly regulator's order. An email query to CCI and CREDAI remained unanswered until the time of going to press.
Confirming the development, Delhi-based developer BPTP said, "The matter is sub-judice and it would not be appropriate for us to comment on the matter at this stage, though it is matter of record that we have succeeded before the Hon'ble Competition Commission of India."
While according to Mumbai-based Tata Housing Development Company the petition has not been admitted yet. "CCI has disposed the complaint by giving a clean chit to Tata Housing Development Co. Ltd. and other developers vide order dated 03.02.2015 of CCI. However, we have been informed that the complainant has filed a writ petition before the Delhi High Court which is not admitted so far," a Tata Housing spokesperson said in an email response.
According to Rohan Pate, director of Pune-based Amit Enterprises Housing, the company has provided an immediate and complete response to the notice. "All calculations are made as per the industry standards and relevant information is shared with the client in advance. There's no question of making one-sided contracts and not sharing any important information with our clients," Pate explained.
A cartel typically implies arrangements among more than two firms aimed at increasing prices through tactics such as cuts in production. Cartelisation leads to high prices, poor quality and reduced choice. As per the Competition Act, the maximum penalty for cartelisation is three times a company's profit, or 10% of its turnover, whichever is higher.
BUILDERS DENY CHARGES
"We deny any allegation of cartelization. The real estate Industry is bustling with competition which in turn offers the best choices to the discerning customer. The sheer number of players in the industry overrules any form of cartelization, hence the CCI rightly dismissed the complaint before it earlier," said Ashish Puravankara - Managing Director, Puravankara Projects.
"We believe the CCI will file a suitable reply in response to the notice received from the Delhi HC and defend its earlier order," he explained.
The petition has named Gaursons India, K Raheja Corp, Amrapali Group, Supertech Ltd, Ansal Properties & Infrastructure, Prestige Estates Projects, Avalon Group, Salarpuria Group, Tulip Group and Ambuja Neotia Group as respondents in the matter. Email queries to these companies remained unanswered.

Metal Slug Anthology Review

What\'s a console without Metal Slug? Truly, there must be laws regarding this, provisions hidden in the Patriot Act. Now the Wii gets it\'s own version of Metal Slug, complete with motion sensitive controls and a few new upgrades. We might be getting a little tired of these games by now, especially considering their supersaturation in the market, but Metal Slug Anthology for the Wii is still an enjoyable and complete, if gimmicky, version of the beloved series.
Metal Slug Anthology continues SNK\'s tradition of beating mildly successful franchises to death. This time they packaged the entirety of the Metal Slug library on to one disc. That\'s seven (7) Metal Slug games for about ten (10!) bucks cheaper than one full priced game. Kind of a bargain. Unfortunately, this might be the last swatch of reed the dead horse can take, very literally, since this series has now been all but ported to the PlayStation 3. I\'m sure that is pending.
In an attempt to make up for the lack of new material developer Terminal Reality made Metal Slug Anthology, for lack of a single, better word, Wii-tastic--that is, adapted the controls to the new system\'s capabilities. In doing so, and not for a lack of effort, they created multiple complicated systems of movement and a couple decent ones. There are numerous modes of control, and most of them are, actually, pretty terrible. The biggest downer for this franchise\'s leap to the Wii is that the control styles which do work the best are not at all geared to the Wii\'s strengths. Meaning, ordinary, uncomplicated, classic controller configurations. And that\'s a shame.
Most of the control styles meant for the Wii\'s motion sensing are awkward or just plain silly. (Nunchuck only configuration, I\'m looking at you!) Most likely, unless you enjoy dying over and over, you\'ll play with the Wiimote on its side like an updated NES controller or, if you\'ve got one, with you Gamecube controller. With so many options, why the heck is there no option for the Wii Classic Controler?
So although this old dog failed to learn some new tricks, Metal Slug Anthology works as a collection of antiquated, but still enjoyable action scrollers. But if you\'re a fan of the series, it will be worth your while to pick it up.
As an anthology Metal Slug fairs pretty well. Seven full games are a pretty good hunk of meat. You get all the original blood and such, not to mention the swear words. (Nothing reminiscent of Grand Theft Auto, however.) If you have played Metal Slug before then you know exactly what you are getting. If not, just think Contra on crack. It\'s an addictive, retro, 2D platformer, actioneer, with lots of variation and stlye. And style has always been one of Metal Slug\'s shining characteristics.
You can watch the series grow up as you play through each game. But really, it doesn\'t grow up that much. I\'m not sure if this is a testament to how well the first few games have held up or if it just highlights how little they have done with the franchise. Either way, unlike many gaming franchises, the first game is almost is good as playing the last. All those in-between are pretty much the same. But since the first was a damn fine game, that\'s not such a terrible thing--how original? that\'s another thing entirely.
One of the funniest paradoxes of Metal Slug Anthology is that even with all seven games (Metal Slug 1 through 6, and the trendily named Metal Slug X) there are still only a handful of hours of gameplay on the whole disc. I\'ll admit that I am not a Metal Slug enthusiast, so playing through it just once was a struggle for me. Even if you have great fandom, a high tolerance for repetition, or even have insomnia, bloodied gums, spit foaming ravenously at the corners of your mouth, I still have a hard time seeing anyone wanting to play Metal Slug over and over again. Unless you are such a big Metal Slug fan that you would, I suggest only giving the game a rent. You can probably play through the entirety of the franchise in a single day, easily a rental period.
That might sound harsh, but if you are fans of Metal Slug you have already played all of these games. The only thing you need to know is that the Wii controls add nothing (or perhaps take away something) from your beloved franchise\'s gameplay and cohesion. But, for non-fans, I say \"pass.\" Or \"rent.\" If you are in the mood for some old school gaming, especially a game that two of you can play together--and co-op is always great--then this collection is a good renter. And a perfect rent if you can return it early and get some of your cash back.

Punishment and forgiveness
Justin Tosi, Brandon Warmke
This chapter outlines a critique of recent English youth gang policy, focusing on how the issue has been formulated and also on the ethical role of the criminologist as evaluator and policy commentator. It highlights methodological and evidential gaps at the heart of policy and argues for the more active, engaged role of the criminologist. The chapter discusses the broader UK political context at the time of writing, an unstable coalition government making major budgetary cuts with uneven impact across populations makes this form of policy-making increasingly likely, and introduces into it core characteristics that render the role of the engaged criminologist more important than ever. There should be a more direct connection between the methodology of studying the phenomena and practices aimed at addressing the issues. If, before the index period under consideration, few UK police forces were willing to admit to the existence of US-style gangs, the operational picture changed very quickly in the late 1990s.

This post should really be called PATJs, which is short for Pancetta, Argulua, and Tomato Jam sandwiches, but I don't think you'd be able to understand what I was talking about if that was the title. But all of the ingredients in this sandwich are fancied up version of the classic BLT sandwich served on delicious seeded bread.
The tomato jam and the candied pancetta are definitely on the sweeter side (with a little heat), but the bitterness in the arugula really balances things out nicely. While this may seem like a summer dish, and yes maybe it is, but there is a hint of fall flavor that comes out through the cinnamon and cloves in the tomato jam.
Spread the honey on the slices of pancetta and sprinkle with cayenne pepper.
Place on baking rack on top of a baking sheet, and bake the pancetta for 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness.
Spread tomato jam on 2 slices of bread, top with arugula, and pancetta, then place the other slices of bread on top.
Combine all of the ingredients together in a large stainless steel pot.
Stirring frequently, cook for approximately an hour until desired texture is reached.
Leftovers can be jarred or just stored in the refrigerator as a fancy ketchup replacement.
