The vision of the semantic web is to connect data in order to provide a richer experience for users: enabling links between descriptive text, data sets, visual and audio media, etc., which is tailored to the user needs. The goal is to provide a technology that enables users to find relevant information from within a maze of data - and to allow them to contribute by adding their own knowledge to the available content.

This post is for keeping track of comparisons between what publishers/distributors claim in terms of sales (or shipments), and what percentage of that is covered by the available Oricon data. They'll be listed in alphabetical order, broken down according to however we get the distributor reports. Where we have multiple claimed numbers for different parts of a franchise, I've done a total and indented the individual claims underneath.
NOTE: Sold numbers will be lower than shipped numbers, so these data points are not all directly comparable, but they will provide good ballparks estimates. Where we have distributors specifically saying sold, it's been bolded.
300,000 – Claimed (Source, 2007-06), mentioned on the Wikipedia page.
Note: Geass R2 and the BD version of R1 were only partially done when this announcement was made, so only titles released through this point were used in the comparison.
1. The 40% (or 47% by units) number is probably very heavily weighted towards mainstream film/TV shows, rather than late night anime.
2. I especially feel like that's the case because the document at the link you provided (which is interesting, thanks) shows that on BD, the dominant format for late night anime, rentals drop to only 5% (by price, 10% by units).
3. I'm under the impression distributor reports consider rentals and standard retail copies as separate. For example, the TBS document for the K-ON! Movie explicitly separated the two, not counting the 45,000 rental copies in the 226,000 sales number.
And purely on the anecdotal side, some people I know who have lived in Japan say that while you can get late night anime at rental stores, it's a lot less common. Blockbusters like the shows listed in this post would certainly be the ones that get more rental copies on shelves, but probably not to the tune of 20-50% of sales like we see in the gaps above.
But in the end, I can't say anything with 100% certainty.
Attack on Titan Vol.1 100,000 copies shipped.
Thanks, that's the first addition I've been able to make in a while. Hopefully we find out a full series shipped number at the end as well.
An update to Haruhi from the pachinko game advertisements, via ultimatemegax.
Previously we had 800k for 2006 + Gekisou. Now we have 1000k for 2006 + 2009, but looks like without Gekisou. I left both data points for completeness, but when calculating the total coverage for the franchise I used the new data point only.
The weird discrepancies with very poorly explained sources continue!
The only thing this could possibly mean is total units shipped across all volumes, which comes to an average of 6,666.
The Oricon average is going to be around 2.0 – 2.1k. It didn't rank second weeks, and we know Oricon is never the full sales (they don't cover the Pony Canyon store for example, but it goes beyond that), and we know importers aren't counted – so it's a very safe bet the "real" average is easily over 3k, plus whatever it sells in the very long term, a disc here or there over the coming months and years – though you'd think used copies would be what most very late adopters go for.
Still quite the gap though. Some of that will be accounted for by unsold stock, obviously. Expect to see Sakura Trick in the discount list at Amazon eventually, like a lot of other series.
But nonetheless, this means Pony Canyon was paid for 40k units, whether retailers took a hit on that or whether Oricon is just way under-reporting its sales, who knows? Makes me feel a little better either way.
And well, if it does show up heavily discounted in the Amazon bargain bin, I'll be picking up a few more copies I guess!
First new entry in a while! I did a second entry for Shingeki no Kyojin due to this scan popping up, where all the various sales achievements of the Shingeki franchise are touted.
We already knew v1 had hit 100k shipped some time ago, and with >80k just through Oricon reports it was a perfectly believable number.
Now this scan is saying all volumes shipped over 100k. This gets a bit weirder… that's Haruhi-levels of coverage, but in 2013-2014, not the dark ages of 2006! And with four volumes around 40k per Oricon you have to wonder where the other 60k went. I'm sure a lot is unsold stock, verrryr long tail, and maybe it includes rental copies too (I don't think it specifies). But shipped is shipped, and that means that's how much Pony Canyon got paid for, which is really the number that matters in the end!
So Shingeki joins the 100k club, or at least the "distributor reported 100k+ per volume shipped" club.
Updated for Non Non Biyori. Some kind of TV spot for the show (I wish I knew more about the source) has claimed that the original manga has shipped 1.2 million units and the DVD/BDs for s1 have shipped 100,000 units.
That latter number is virtually double the Oricon reports (52k, average 8,672) and would put the average at 16,666+.
This should reinforce the idea that you should never expect Oricon reports to be full sales, although this is an unusually large gap.
At this point we should just assume most series have a underestimation of 50% at least. But that is based on (hopefull) speculation on my part. Making it useless.
Updated for Monogatari. An Animate article lists 2 million discs sold total across everything pre-Owari. See the post for details, but it's at about a 73-75% coverage rate now.
Would you say that the discrepancy between reported and actually sold numbers tends to narrow as a percentage the higher you get in total sales? So for a lower seller the percentage difference might be larger even though it might not be as many discs as the discrepancy for, for example, Monogatari? Or is there just no trend and basically it can be anywhere from about half to the 80's regardless of total sales?
We only get these shipment numbers for pretty major series (ones worth bragging about), so there's no way to establish a trend. Especially with so few data points available, and over a relatively long period of time during which Oricon's reporting coverage has changed.
Updated for Free!. Very similar coverage to Monogatari, at roughly 72%. Maybe a bit higher if the number cited was intended to include the live event disc, but it doesn't say.
Yes, shipped is sent to retailers. Thing is, from my understanding, in Japan returns aren't the scourge to distributors that they are in the US. If a distributor ships (aka is paid for) a copy in Japan, there's a lot less recourse for retailers to send it back and get a refund later. Thus distributors aren't eating the cost of refunding returns very often. So the shipped numbers should be a lot closer to what the publisher/distributor were paid for than the Oricon numbers. Especially because Oricon numbers are incomplete to begin with, so they don't reflect the full "sales to customers" numbers anyway.
I was finally able to add something to this post for the first time since November 2015.
The Wikipedia page for Aria mentions that as of June 2007 it had sold 300,000 DVDs. That would be after season two had finished releasing but before anything else: no DVD boxes, no Arietta, no Origination, no BD boxes, no Avenirre. That's just about double the Oricon number of 147,467 (49.2% coverage).
I wish we had more of these data points.
I haven't included it in the post yet because we don't have an Oricon number to compare to, but according to this tweet https://twitter.com/nikkeimj/status/887975586001321985 Touhou's shipment for Kimi no Na wa is going to be 1.2 million. That account is the Nikkei Marketing Journal, so this should be reliable.
Keep in mind that's the shipment (it's not even on sale yet), and they're probably making sure to over-ship at first to ensure it's available absolutely everywhere. And since that's the base shipment number, it will include discs that end up going outside of Japan (though not foreign localized releases of course; this is the Japanese release). It'll take some time to work all of those discs through retail channels, if it does sell out.
But it's really interesting to have the number *before* any Oricon reports. Stalker's estimate was only a bit over 300k, but Stalker was never intended to handle releases of this magnitude. So like I've said, I wouldn't put too much stock in Stalker's number here.
I'll probably wait for a few weeks of Oricon numbers before adding it here, because it's rather unlikely those 1.2 million are all being bought at once.
Quite interesting the see that sort of announcement. I still haven't seen it since I'm waiting for the BD release, but wonder if it has the re-watch value needed to get people to buy it in that sort of number. I could see Stalker's estimate being right on the money if the value isn't there for repeated viewings by the general public, unlike more family-friendly Ghibli movies.
They wouldn't ship 1.2 million copies if they only expected 300k sales. I didn't mean over-shipping -that- much!
After all, Stalker guesses Oricon numbers. Oricon could easily miss half of shipped units (either due to insufficient coverage or units going unsold or units shipped internationally). So Stalker can only be right if Oricon reports 300k and in that case that'd be a huge miss by Oricon, significantly bigger than the examples here.
Hah yeah I guess I needed an emphasis on IF (and it was a big if lol). As you say, Oricon regularly seems to report 50-70% of sales, so if Stalker says 300k and Oricon reports 500-800k they actually sell 1M…. the 1.2M would be pretty close to ensure ample supply. Plus I'm sure that movie will have quite a tail so having overstock on the shelves for a few months to a year wouldn't be an issue.
This is the Japanese release but as you probably know it has English, Chinese and Japanese subs and the choice of the Japanese or English OST audio tracks; RADWIMPS spent time in the west and both wrote and sung the lyrics in both languages. The English dubbed dialogue is not included.
I just wanted to point out that Chinese subs especially could mean a fair percentage get shipped outside of Japan.
Do we know if it's getting any localized releases in major markets near the JP release date? I'm guessing not. So yeah China could be a pretty significant source of sales, considering what a smash hit it was there.
Hong Kong will have a same-day release with Chinese and English subtitles and Chinese audio.
Ahh, and probably way cheaper than importing, so that should cut down somewhat on how many of those 1.2m end up in China. Assuming mainland can buy the HK release? Dunno what the relationship there is like.
Oricon sales were 98,629 for the two boxes (I'm guessing it's not counting the re-release box set, but no way to know I guess – besides it only sold a few thousand), so about 75.6% coverage vs publisher's number, which is rather good. Thanks, first thing I've been able to add to this list in a while.
As was mentioned here, there was an interview with Maeda Toshihiro, a producer at MBS, where he stated that the limited BDs sold at theaters screening the three Washio Sumi films sold about 7,000 each.
The same material is also being sold in the first volume of the second season (where it was re-cut as 6 weekly episodes), while the second volume is all new material.
Since Oricon couldn't track these it's not really an Oricon vs Distributor comparison, but it's interesting enough to make a note of here.

Twitter Ban in India
HomeAll Posts...Twitter Ban in India
Right to Privacy April 5, 2021 By SK Nanda
Isn't it extremely ironic that one of the trending hashtags a few days back on Twitter itself was #BanTwitter? Considering that we Indians are an argumentative lot, Twitter is supposed to be a social media platform for intellectuals to voice their opinion on political and non-political matters!
The incumbent government had deftly used social media channels like Twitter to swing the sentiment in its favor during election time and while launching new development schemes. However, the same government wishes to Ban Twitter in India and instead promote homegrown apps like Koo & Tooter! What could be the reason behind this change of heart?
Over the last few years, the government has blocked full hashtags, whole Twitter accounts and has pulled down inflammatory content in order to maintain decorum, law & order, and protect the sovereignty and integrity of India. All this was done under section 69A of the IT Act, 2000. This Act allows the Centre to block public access to an intermediary "in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, security of the State, friendly relations with foreign states or public order or for preventing incitement to the commission of any cognizable offense relating to above". According to the definition under Section 2(w) of the IT Act, an intermediary includes "telecom service providers, network service providers, internet service providers, web-hosting service providers, search engines, online payment sites, online auction sites, online marketplaces, cyber cafes, etc". In fact, India was among the five countries last year which accounted for 96% of the global legal requests for removing content – Japan, Russia, South Korea, and Turkey were the others. And It was under this very section that nearly 59 Chinese apps including TikTok, WeChat, and PUBG virtual game were banned in Jun'20.
Pursuant to Section 69A, the center recently demanded the banning of some Twitter handles that were allegedly involved in spreading inflammatory hashtags like "farmer genocide" and supporting pro-Pakistan and pro-Khalistan agendas. However, within hours of complying with this order, the social media giant surprisingly went on to restore some of the accounts and tweets – claiming it violates the freedom of speech & expression. Matters worsened with tweets of pop star Rihanna and climate change activist Greta Thunberg and the farmer protests on 26th Jan'21 and especially when the 'Toolkit' was read out by Greta Thunberg. The sequence of events swung in such a way that Indian celebrities ranging from Bollywood actors and Cricketers up the ante against such a foreigner-led campaign. In a bid to silence the enraging global conversations, the news of Twitter being banned in India spread like wildfire!
Homegrown activists, lawyers, journalists, veterans are voicing their concerns in front of the courts and are forcing the judiciary to uphold the fundamental right of freedom of speech & expression. There are 2 important cases in the Indian Judiciary that warrant a mention in this context:
Case summary of Shreya Singhal versus Union of India, 2015 (Source: Columbia Global Freedom of Expression):
The Supreme Court of India invalidated Section 66A of the Information Technology Act of 2000 in its entirety. The Petitioners argued that Section 66A was unconstitutionally vague and its intended protection against annoyance, inconvenience, danger, obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, or ill-will was beyond the scope of permissible restrictions under Article 19(2) of the Indian Constitution. The Court agreed that the prohibition against the dissemination of information by means of a computer resource or a communication device intended to cause annoyance, inconvenience or insult did not fall within any reasonable exceptions to the exercise of the right to freedom of expression. It further found that because the provision failed to define terms, such as inconvenience or annoyance, "a very large amount of protected and innocent speech" could be curtailed, and hence its sweep was overly broad and vague.
Case summary of Bhasin versus Union of India, 2020 (Source: Columbia Global Freedom of Expression)
The Supreme Court of India ruled that an indefinite suspension of internet services would be illegal under Indian law and that orders for internet shutdown must satisfy the tests of necessity and proportionality. The case concerned the internet and movement restrictions imposed in the Jammu and Kashmir region in India on August 4, 2019, in the name of protecting public order. In the end, however, the Court did not lift the internet restrictions and instead, it directed the government to review the shutdown orders against the tests outlined in its judgment and lift those that were not necessary or did not have a temporal limit. The Court reiterated that freedom of expression online enjoyed Constitutional protection, but could be restricted in the name of national security. The Court held that though the Government was empowered to impose a complete internet shutdown, any order(s) imposing such restrictions had to be made public and was subject to judicial review.
The above cases emphasize that a balance needs to be sought between citizen's rights and responsibilities enshrined under Article 19 of the Indian Constitution.
In a separate case, recently, Russia threatened to ban Twitter for 30 days if it failed to take the necessary steps to remove banned content from its platform. The microblogging site is facing serious backlash after thousands of people took to the streets protesting the arrest of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny. The protest demanding the release of Navalny has been reported to be the largest in years and has posed tremendous challenges to the Russian Government.
Will Twitter be banned in India?
Twitter is a platform for the exchange of opinions and information that triggers global conversations. Indian society is accommodating with short-term memory. It will not be surprising if it quickly moves on to the next big thing for sharing thoughts. Also, bear in mind that Twitter isn't exactly a revenue-generating model, unlike Facebook or Google. For example, in 2019 it made a net profit of Rs. 5.9 Crore in India. These amounts of money are peanuts for a global tech giant which in turn affects the scale of negotiations between the Government and the tech giant. There are four countries where Twitter is banned: China, North Korea, Turkmenistan and Iran. None of these countries are known for their democratic policies. So it quite unlikely that Twitter will be banned in India as the government is currently facing international criticism for quelling dissent during anti-CAA protests & internet blackouts in Kashmir. However, considering that India is Twitter's third-largest market behind the U.S. and Japan and has more than 17 million users, it might be willing to bend over backwards as it might not want to forfeit the sheer potential volume of future users that India represents.

Libraries are changing in every aspect to deal with the information dissemination process mainly pertaining to the form and format of "significant information," which is the lifeblood of libraries. With copyrights restricting the uncontrolled and unbalanced use of information in the digital format, there is a need to understand that copyrights were brought to balance the synchronization of the creator, publisher, and the users at large. The chapter is an attempt to show the changing perspective of copyright in the digital era, its relevancy in the digital era, and how libraries can get the most out of the various exceptions and provisions provided for the libraries in copyright law, while at the same time striving to balance the copyright as well as solve various problems and issues cropping up from new digital perspectives.
Copyright: The Ball Is In Whose Court?
Copyright is the sole right to copy or produce a work conceded to the publisher by the creator through a mutual agreement, the fundamental goal of copyrights being to maintain a balance between the creator getting a reward and the creation being used for the good of the society. Thus, the motive is to benefit the creator as well as user of the new creation. Among the trio of copyright system, those desperate to retain copyright and lobbying hardest are the intermediaries who control the conduits between creators and their audience.
Copyright system is designed to nurture ecology of creator, disseminator, and user of work of authorship. However, the current copyright system is failing its intended beneficiaries. The basic foundation of copyright has been shaken by the concentration of copyright provisions in the hands of vendors/publishers whose motivation to further the goals of copyright is primarily economic.
Although the vendor creates a market for copyright work to provide money for creators and to pass on the works to users, readers, and listeners as they step into the shoes of creator for money making. Thus, their participation is primarily by self- interest.

Health FDA & Prescription Drugs Apr 19, 2012 1 min read
Balding Medication May Do Much More Than Just Stop Hair Loss
Darren Tobin
Are you currently taking Merck & Co.'s prostate drug Proscar or Propecia, the company's drug that treats male pattern baldness on this prescription drug? New information identifying the side effects of this drug are important for you to know.
The Food and Drug Administration expanded the warning label on Proscar, Propecia, and the generic brands. The new warning came out this past April 12, 2012.
According to the Associated Press, finasteride and Propecia have been linked to sexual side affects. The expanded warning states that side effects continued after patients stopped taking the drug.
The newly expanded warning label for Propecia will say that some men who took the drug experienced libido disorders, orgasm disorders, and ejaculation disorders after they stopped taking the drug.
Proscar's label now has included decreased libido. Both drugs now include a description of the difficulties experienced by men including cases of male infertility and poor semen quality. In these particular cases, it changed for the better or normalized after the men stopped taking the drug.
The drug Proscar was first approved in 1992 in order to treat symptoms in men who had an enlarged prostate and to reduce the chance of urinary retention. The drug Propecia was first approved in 1997 for the treatment of male pattern hair loss.

Toxic Cabin Air? New Information Reveals the Potentially Neurotoxic Effects of Contaminated Airplane Cabin Air


Both men's and women's teams finished higher at Croft than in the previous race with over 200 runners competing. The men took 3rd just a point behind hosts Croft (must remember to check the organiser's maths) while the women were 6th one up on last time. In unusually mild weather we were spared rain though the course was muddy in places.
We packed 3 in the top 10 in the men's event in a bulging field of 127. Eliot ran a wonderfully bold race determined to hang on to the thoroughbred Tim Davies (1st 47.20) and was no more than 80 meters behind after one lap well clear of Tim Iveson in third. However this early effort began to take its toll and Iveson went past on the second lap drawing clear to take 2nd in 48.53. Eliot stuck to his task on a tough 3rd lap and came home a valiant 3rd in 49.56. Sadly it seems this may be the first and last we see of him in the League this season.
One place back Matt had a storming run (50.35) holding off the flying Stacy Morgan. Then came Russ again running superbly to take 9th and the inevitable 1st V45 spot. It's a shame Mike is some distance from peak fitness as there was a gap to 28th (57.35) before he charged up the final hill. Dave ran his usual nicely judged race not far back in 34th (58.25) 2nd V50 while taking the odd look over his shoulder to see how close the supercharged Geoff Kay was getting to him. It proved to be close enough as Geoff was less than a minute and a half behind for 41st 2nd V60 just under the hour barrier (59.48) which is a decent measure of V60 quality. A sign of how well Geoff has kept his summer form going is that again he managed to keep Paul 42nd in 60.09 at bay albeit that Paul is still on the road back to full fitness.
We were treated to another Battle of Peterchurch with Neil 96th (71.35) defending his title against Raging Bull Baker Barnes who finished top centurion (100th) in 72.11. Everyone was pleased to see Chris Cleary back on Herefordshire soil having made the long trek up from Kent. Lacking his former sharpness, Chris took 110th place (75.05) calling out as he ran, "I am not a number" and making wardrobe adjustments en route (strange Kentish customs I imagine).
There was good packing in the shorter women's event with Lisa not yet back up to summer speed leading the team home in 19th in 39.38 followed closely by the duelling fifty somethings Ali and Tracy who raced each other to the line Ali again just prevailing in 21st 39.41 just three seconds and one place ahead of her rival. This was a great effort from both to take once again 2nd and 3rd in the V50 stakes. We saw another gutsy performance from new recruit Sam unfazed by the mud and hills and finishing a highly creditable 51st out of 83. It looks as though there is much more to come from her once she is race hardened. In the team event we were 6th one up from the previous race. It's so good to have team and back-up in the women's section again after last year when Ali started to feel a bit lonely. Well done all four.
Finally thanks to Mike and Crofties, Clive and and others who put in so much work to make this record 31st fixture such a success. And to think in all those 31 years Kevin Barnes has never finished outside the top 100. Keep it up Kev!

One Reservation
Submitted by John W McGinley (United States), Jul 22, 2008 at 13:08
Your article was depressing because, except for one reservation which I will mention below, it was so trenchant, accurate and insightful. 2000 is indeed a good marker for a turning point in Israel's history. There is much malaise in the country and there is in the land an ever-declining sense of national unity and purpose as ever-narrowing sub-groups use living in "erets Israel" for their narrow agenda. Nor did the mid-seventies decision to "liberalize" the Law of Return help matters. As is evident this proved to be a diluting factor in Jewish identity which is haunting Israel today.
The fact of the matter is that the situation will only grow worse until -- somehow -- living in the land of Israel becomes inseparable from living an active and vibrant life committed to the pactice of Judaism as a religion. But no-one wants to admit this. Orthodoxy, on principle, holds the key to the solution. But virtualy the full spectrum of Orthodoxy -- Khassidic and non-Khassidic alike -- is plagued by a culture of intellectual dishonesty so entrenched that it makes Seculer Jews look pretty good.
Still, the nswer lies neither in Secular Judasim nor in Reform/Conservative/Reconstructionist oreientations. All three of these Movements are populated by Jews who see themselves as "children of the Enlightenment" who happen to be of Jewish pedigree rather than, first, last, and always, "children of the Covenant." The answer and hope will come from the ranks of Orthodoxy or it won't come at all. Young, courageous, and intelligent voices from Orthodoxy -- willing to face some degree of ostricism from the embedded Ortodox centers of power -- are needed and called for. Are there any such voices? Where are teh Elijah's of today hiding out?
I do beg to differ with your inclusion of the Gaza evacuation as part of the syndrome which you, otherwise, so accurately described. To be sure, a post-evcuation Israel led by Ariel Sharon himself would have been different than what actually occurred. Still, it was and remains the right decision. The Gaza, the land of the Philistines Biblically, was never really part of Israel. The sooner Israel extracted itself from the Gaza the better. Even with all the troubles post-evacuation -- poorly managed by the post Sharon government -- Israel is better off being out of the Gaza.
Thank-you for your time and attention. John W. McGinley

Finding Success in Halifax County
Rural Internet Grant Snagged for Halifax County
Halifax County has received a $231,108 state grant to expand rural broadband service in partnership with SCS Broadband, a third-party wireless internet provider.
Halifax was one of 12 counties in Virginia that received a share of $4.9 million in grants through the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative (VATI), which provides targeted funding to extend service to areas that are unserved by any broadband provider.
"In our 21st century economy, broadband connectivity is tied to every facet of our daily lives, from education to business to health care — that's why making high-speed internet available to every Virginian, in every region of the Commonwealth is a top priority for my administration," said Gov. Ralph Northam in announcing the grant awards on Friday.
"This funding will help to close the digital divide in Virginia by putting in place the necessary infrastructure to expand affordable and reliable broadband service to currently unserved rural communities."

Meet Molly, a travel nurse who paid off $70K-plus in student loans in two-and-a-half years.
Yeah, we'd be smiling too. And we wanted to know what motivated her to warp speed her student loan payoff and how she was able to turn $70,419.10 of student loan debt into a distant memory in such a short period of time.
Molly's "why" is one that most people know: Interest is a fool's game. (Our words, not hers.) The way to not get played by it is to make more than the minimum payment while remaining in check with your personal budget.
Fast-tracking her student loan payoff.
Molly went on to explain that with her current situation—no mortgage, kids, etc.—putting those travel nurse paychecks to good use was the best move to make.

Geraldo Rivera to Brian Kilmeade: You have never met a war you didn't like
Rivera: "Your arrogance is exactly what's wrong with the region. ... You're not a front-line fighter that has to go back into Iraq again."
Published 01/03/20 9:51 AM EST
Citation From the January 3, 2020, edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends
GERALDO RIVERA (FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT-AT-LARGE): This is huge. That does not mean to say that I believe that this was a smart move. I think that what we have done -- we have been fighting bees. Bees have been swarming all over us. We swat them here, we swat them there. They attacked our bases, they took out the contractor, they wounded a bunch of other people, they've killed a lot of people over the years. What we have done is killed the queen bee. The hive is now busted open. I fear the worst. I think that what we have done is unleash the bees, to keep that metaphor going.
AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): But what else are we supposed to do, Geraldo? [CROSSTALK] I mean this guy, he has blood on his hands. Exactly.
RIVERA: What else are we supposed to do? I think that when the de-escalation at the embassy happened a couple of days ago, that was the end of this chapter. The United States with its firmness had won the victory, it wasn't going to be Benghazi, it wasn't going to be, you know, Tehran from 1980. We won that tactical victory. Now we've taken this huge military escalation. Now I fear the worst; you're going to see the U.S. markets go crazy today.You're going to see the price of oil spiking today. This is a very, very big deal.
BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): And I don't know if you heard, but this isn't about his resume of blood and death. It is about what was next. We stopped the next attack.
STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): It was pre-emptive --
KILMEADE: That's what I think you're missing.
DOOCY: -- according to the secretary of state.
[CROSSTALK]
RIVERA: By what credible source can you predict what the next Iranian move would be?
KILMEADE: The secretary of state and American intelligence provided that info.
RIVERA: Oh, they've been excellent. They've been excellent. The U.S. intelligence has been excellent since 2003 when we invaded Iraq, disrupted the entire region for no real reason. Don't for a minute start cheering this on. What you have done, what we have done, we have unleashed --
KILMEADE: I will cheer it on. I will cheer it on.
RIVERA: You, like Lindsey Graham, have never met a war you didn't like.
KILMEADE: That is not true and don't even say that.
RIVERA: If President Trump wanted de-escalation --
KILMEADE: We should just let him kill us for another 15 years.
RIVERA: If President Trump wanted de-escalation and to bring our troops home, what this was a reaction to --
KILMEADE: What about the 700 Americans who are dead, should they not be happy -- because of him?
RIVERA: What about the tens of thousands of Iraqis who have died since 2003? You have to start seeing -- what the hell are we doing in Baghdad in the first place? Why are we there? Why aren't these forces home?
KILMEADE: You're blaming President Bush for the maniacal --
RIVERA: I am blaming President Bush.
KILMEADE: -- killing of Saddam Hussein?
RIVERA: I am blaming President Bush in 2003 for those fake weapons of mass destruction --
KILMEADE: Right. Oh my gosh.
RIVERA: -- that never existed, and the con job that drove us into that war.

(from Netflix's press release, January 2018) The dark comedy revolves around a seemingly successful and idyllic family-run flower business full of dysfunctional secrets. One day, the patriarch finds out his longtime mistress has suddenly passed away and he decides to bring their children into the household alongside his current wife and family who didn't know they existed. The series explores the need to protect and forgive loved ones, no matter how uncomfortable.


20 Aug 2018 --- PepsiCo is buying the manufacturer of home beverage carbonation systems, SodaStream, in a US$3.2bn deal, that demonstrates how the beverage and snacks group is focusing on a health-conscious strategy for growth. Just a few weeks after PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi announced that she is stepping down after 12 years in charge, the group has agreed to buy the Israel-based maker of home fizzy drinks dispensers which markets itself as a health and wellness alternative to sugary sodas.
PepsiCo has switched its strategy to move away from sugary soft drinks to focus on healthier beverages and snacks. SodaStream aligns with Pepsi's approach, backed by Pepsi's incoming chief executive, Ramon Laguarta.
PepsiCo has agreed to acquire all outstanding shares of SodaStream for US$144.00 per share in cash, in a transaction valued at US$3.2 billion. The transaction will be funded with PepsiCo's cash on hand.
"PepsiCo and SodaStream are an inspired match,"
says PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi.
"That focus is well-aligned with Performance with Purpose, our philosophy of making more nutritious products while limiting our environmental footprint. Together, we can advance our shared vision of a healthier, more sustainable planet."
PepsiCo's strong distribution capabilities, global reach, R&D, design and marketing expertise, combined with SodaStream's differentiated and unique product range will position SodaStream for further expansion and breakthrough innovation.
Daniel Birnbaum, SodaStream CEO and Director says the deal marks an important milestone for SodaStream.
"I am excited our team will have access to PepsiCo's vast capabilities and resources to take us to the next level. This is great news for our consumers, employees and retail partners worldwide."
At the beginning of this month, SodaStream International announced its results for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018. Revenue increased 31.3 percent to US$171.5 million, compared to US$130.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, while operating income increased 89.1 percent to US$31.8 million, compared to us$16.8 million in the second quarter of 2017. Net income also increased 81.7 percent to US$26.1 million, compared to US$14.4 million in the second quarter of 2017.
The acquisition has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and is subject to a SodaStream shareholder vote, certain regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. Closing is expected by January 2019.
There have been a series of deals in recent years where global food and beverage companies are repositioning themselves as being more health-conscious tapping into the shift in preference of consumers all over the world. This also comes at a time when governments are introducing sugar taxes on sugary soft drinks in a bid to cut down on obesity, particularly among children.
The deal closely follows PepsiCo's rivals the Coca-Cola Company which last week announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a minority ownership stake in Bodyarmor SuperDrink.
Through the agreement, New York-based Bodyarmor will have the opportunity to gain access to the expansive Coca-Cola bottling system, enabling the fast-growing brand to accelerate its growth to meet explosive consumer demand for its premium line of sports performance and hydration drinks.
In March 2013, former US professional basketball player Kobe Bryant purchased a large stake in the company, joining the board of directors.
And in January, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc and Keurig Green Mountain, Inc entered into a definitive merger agreement to create Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP), a new large-scale beverage company with a portfolio of iconic consumer brands and unrivaled distribution capability to reach virtually every point-of-sale in North America.

BROWNSVILLE, Tenn. ― Quintairos, Prieto, Wood & Boyer, P.A., attorney David M. Tarlow, Managing Partner of the Fort Lauderdale office, defended his client against allegations of negligent installation of two new tires on the front axle of a vehicle.
On May 9, 2014, plaintiff, Gaylon Pool took his wife's 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee ("Jeep") to a large retailer located in Brownsville, Tennessee. Two new tires were purchased, and the new tires were installed on the front axle rather than the rear axle, at the customer's request. Industry standards and the retailer's policies and procedures call for new tires to be installed on the rear axle to prevent hydroplaning in wet weather conditions. At the time of service, the plaintiff executed an "Acknowledgment Form" that states "[w]hen two new tires are purchased, I have been advised that tire manufacturer's recommend placing them on the rear of the vehicle." The plaintiff testified in deposition and provided a subsequent affidavit that the retailer never advised him about the policy of installing new tires on the rear axle and that the "warning" was not specific enough for him to make a knowing and intelligent waiver.
On July 23, 2014, at approximately 4:04 p.m., the plaintiff was driving southbound on a Tennessee owned/maintained state road, when he drove the Jeep through a pool of standing water. This resulted in the Jeep to hydroplane on the wet roadway, losing control and traveling into the northbound lane. The left side of the Jeep collided with the front end of another vehicle causing the Jeep to rollover and coming to a final rest in an inverted position. All four occupants of the Jeep suffered injuries. A separate lawsuit was filed by the plaintiffs against the state of Tennessee for negligence construction/maintenance of its roadway as other accidents have allegedly occurred on the same roadway when raining. The cases were consolidated for discovery.
Gaylon Pool sustained seven fractured ribs and a fractured pelvis in the accident. Plaintiff, Betty Pearson (Pool's sister-in-law) sustained a fractured left arm/elbow requiring open reduction surgery. Plaintiff, Cody Marbry (Pool's grandson") suffered a fractured vertebrae that required surgery; Courtney Marbry (Pool's granddaughter suffered a fractured left wrist that heeled with casting; Sandra Pool, Claude Pearson and Ricky Marbry have filed loss of consortium claims. None of the plaintiffs had health insurance.
Title to the Jeep was given to the tow yard the day after the accident as the Pool's did not have the $300 to remove the vehicle from storage. The Jeep was likely scraped due to the damaged sustained in the accident and there is no evidence available to test for mechanical malfunctions, seat belt use and the tread of the rear tires.
Arguing Express Assumption of the Risk, the defense convinced the judge that, prior to the time of the injury, the plaintiff agreed to accept the particular risk of harm that caused the injuries.
David M. Tarlow practices in the areas of general liability defense, including personal injury defense, premises liability, product liability defense, wrongful death, automobile liability, negligent security, legal malpractice defense, insurance coverage disputes and bad faith litigation.

Sunday February 25th 2007 – On Sunday afternoon, Meribeth Dayme, the author and authority on vocal anatomy, singing and presentation skills, conducted a workshop on presence in performance with eleven students of AESS members. The workshop was held in London at the home of the AESS Secretary and participants came from as far a field as Leicester and Derbyshire. With one exception all had entered the Junior Vocal competition in the autumn of 2006 and attendees included both the first and second prize winners. In the course of the afternoon, Meribeth was able to address many different issues including dealing with the self-critic, being present in the moment, the importance of what is visible and the importance of knowing and understanding the text even before addressing the music. Meribeth also had some interesting .strategies for energising performances depending on the singers: some were encouraged to practice incorporating grand gestures to bring the music to life, while others were directed to keep their hands flat on the piano lid to reduce a hyperactive body which was preventing them from singing freely. A recurrent theme throughout the afternoon was the significance of ensuring that the singer's instrument is properly aligned. Time and again the audience of parents and teachers were witness to the transformations in sound achieved by making alterations to an habitual posture which, while apparently comfortable for the singer, was actually inhibiting their sound production. The session was videoed and each participant will be receiving a DVD of the afternoon's proceedings, enabling them to see and hear the results for themselves of this informative and enjoyable afternoon's work.

I am really glad I decided to work with Protexure. The Protexure broker was able to find me the same level of coverage that I had with the AICPA plan, but at a much better premium. He took the time to understand my firm, he was responsive, he explained everything to me completely, and he kept me informed of everything he was doing on my behalf. Because I decided to broker with Protexure, I was able to get more options to choose from. All of my choices were competitively priced, and now I know that I'm paying the rate I deserve to pay.
Thank you Mr. Nieman, it was a pleasure, at least in as much as it can be to obtain insurance, to deal with Mr. Jon Cuci. He was direct, honest and very efficient in handling this detailed process. We will not hesitate to recommend him to our peers.
I recently obtained professional liability insurance through Protexure after many years with a different office. I found the Protexure representatives to be extremely professional, knowledge, and courteous. They found similar coverage for me for a substantial amount less than I had been paying. I have been pleased with Protexure's service and would recommend it highly.
The Protexure Accountants were fantastic to work with. Their web based application was extremely easy to navigate through. Their response time was quick. Most of all, their premium was competitive!
The application process was so much easier then what I have ever experienced. I did not have to answer any questions that did not apply to my firm. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. I am very happy with the Protexure Accountants program.

In an exclusive interview to Restaurant India, Pushpinder Singh, CEO TravelKhana, shares how the idea of the first India-wide meal booking platform connecting train travelers with restaurants on the Indian Railways network initiated.
More than 3 billion meals are consumed by long-distance train travellers every year. Yet, access to food inside train coaches is a major challenge. Food vendors empanelled by the Indian Railways offer a limited choice of poor quality, un-hygienic and overpriced food. Pantry cars are known for abysmal food preparation quality and service. And this has given Pushpinder Singh a channel to start something of his own, where he could provide food to travellers.
How the innovative idea of starting TravelKhana initiate?
As an avid traveller I realised that despite having so much technology to serve people buying tickets or hotels, the travellers still experience discomfort when it comes to obtaining services on the move. If that is solved, travellers in India can travel much more comfortably as they will not be limited by their movement and not be victims of unscrupulous food vendors, taxi cab operators and the like. A marketplace was the natural choice for such a problem to be solved.	As it was simply impossible for a start-up to have the resources to do everything – from producing/merchandising the supply to managing the market and technology, so we focussed on the single biggest problem. Food in train was thus an obvious choice to be solved.
TravelKhana's platform tracks train running information to insure meal delivery at the right time, at the right seat, that is fresh and ready to eat. The entire process is managed by a completely automated workflow that sends real time reminders to passengers as well as restaurants so that the entire process can happen smooth and fast.
What special menu does TravelKhana provide for customer travelling via rail?
Travelkhana has been a marketplace for restaurants wherein the menu of the restaurants is listed for the customers to order from. Over the course, we realised that options listed in the menu are limited; also, the predictability on the service provided by restaurants is low. As a result, we decided to standardise across the board.
Starting Sep-1, 2015, we have standardised menus and prices across the board. Along with the standardisation, we are also building a quality and processes layer that will control the restaurants and their quality. Our quality and audit team will work with such restaurants to bring up their quality to a uniform standard. Along with this, we will also have a feature of "featured restaurants" wherein large brands or local specialties can be listed as featured restaurants. This way we serve the long tail as well as the mass market needs.
Trunk routes between major metros like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Chennai are the highest revenue generating.
What are your views on the FSSAI law and its take on food product?
We think the FSSAI is an encouraging step. As a part of our standardisation drive, we insist that FSSAI is a minimum must besides other standards that restaurants must take up.
Are you planning to provide meals in bus etc.?
Yes. We are in the middle of planning this. We will do 4-5 major southern cities to start this activity.
We will increase our depth in the cities we are present. Besides, we will locate ourselves in 400 stations from the current 160. We are increasing ground presence at these stations and building regional teams under regional managers covering a region. Southern market is a market where our presence earlier was limited. We are increasing our penetration there. A tie up with IRCTC is on the cards.
Additionally, we think that the need of good food for highway travellers is also a big requirement. We will get into that as well soon as our standardisation drive gets underway.
Tell us something about your business model?
We earn commissions on food delivered through us.

Ablative Fractional Laser
Ablative fractional lasers shine an intense beam of light at the skin in a dot-matrix (imagine tiny polka dots) pattern. The light completely removes (ablates) the epidermis in this dot-matrix pattern, leaving some of the skin intact. It also stimulates the underlying dermis to produce more collagen and elastin over time. Ablative fractional lasers attempt to approximate the efficacy of ablative lasers while not completely removing the entire surface of the skin, thus reducing side effects.
Good or Excellent Response
Strength of Evidence
46% of patients achieved a good (>50%) or excellent (>75%) improvement in scarring after 1 - 5 sessions
Moderate Response
81% of patients achieved at least a moderate (>25%) improvement in scarring after 1 - 5 sessions

I like working on small surfaces. It somehow forces me to distill the forms to the essential. The wood surface provides a natural texture allowing me to stamp on the feminine shape that i carved on linoleum.
My "Dream" series places the feminine form in an open natural surrounding. The stillness gives a sense of vulnerability while sleeping. The colors represent the intensity of those surreal states and transport us in an other dimension.


Whenever I decide to take the surface roads home I would always pass this park. One day I decided to actually take a walk in this park and it was enjoyable.
So close to home and right adjacent to the Dublin dog park is a great little hike with views of Dublin and the surrounding area. Get out and hike the hills.
We like to take out dogs hiking here and there are some really nice views into the valley from here. This year is bad all over the area for foxtails so after your hike be sure and check your dogs thoroughly.
I used to live in Dublin before I moved to Las Vegas. My family used to enjoy this park and the many beautiful nature places of Dublin. I specially like the rolling hills.
Grass covered hills, fresh wind, great views, mild trails and cows!
