AIMING for a big name on the country music scene are Tamworth duo Andy Dwyer and Alan Whittle.
And they've just won themselves a regular nightspot in the town. The two singer-guitarists are playing on Monday nights at the Prince of Wales, Gungate.
Andy Dwyer and Alan WhittleCalling themselves "Idlevice", 25-year-old Andy and 28-year-old Alan are aiming for a crisp, swinging country sound. But they also include old skiffle numbers and even a little rock occasionally.
Andy of Belgrave, is a full-time entertainer and already has a solo LP out. He won the outstanding soloist award in a Melody Maker folk rock competition.
Living at Coton Green, Alan teaches in Birmingham. He plays guitar, bass guitar, and five-string banjo, and he recently got through an audition for a spot on TV.
"We've both performed regularly at folk clubs in the Tamworth area for a long time, and now we're hoping to become established in the Midlands as a whole," said Andy.
I came to live in Tamworth in 1974, I was a 24 year old teacher in Birmingham and I couldn't afford a house in the city. But my wife and I, with our combined incomes could just stretch to a house on the Coton Green estate - right next to the railway lines.
I was already a pretty adept fingerpicker when it came to guitar playing, and I had worked my way through several gruelling Stefan Grossman's How to Play Blues Guitar schemes, but I had never performed in public, although I had a burning desire to do that very thing.
Week after week I used to take my guitar up to the Prince of Wales top room where Andy Dwyer held his folk club. Somehow I just couldn't work up the nerve. I really admired Andy - he was five years younger than me, but he had already made a name for himself - he had won a Guild Guitar and record contract in the Melody Maker folk rock competition. This means he had beaten a whole load of bands and players far older and more experienced than himself. His voice had a dramatic vibrato on high notes, and he synthesised words and music into songs effortlessly.
A whole ten years before Billy Bragg was famous for singing political songs, Andy was writing songs about the realities of growing up in Brum. One song told about a Birmingham bus factory that made segregated buses with different sections for black and white passengers, for the South African market. However Andy was very working class - turned up for gigs in his best suit, shook hands with the club organisers - which always seemed a very middle aged thing to do. And rather than hailing an up and coming talent, the middle class Steeleye Span fans who filled 1970's folk clubs - were dismissive of Andy.
Two years or so later and by now I had conquered my fears. I had a jug band called Juggerlugs, which for a short time did a residency at Tamworth golf club, and |I had done floorspots anywhere they would allow me to stand up and sing. I could still play better guitar than anyone I knew on the local folk scene, but I lacked presence and the skill necessary to project a song. Andy was making slow progress on the folk scene, but an agent called Bernie Lewis had spotted him and offered him some gigs in working men's clubs. With just an acoustic guitar, Andy was dying the death in these places, but I swapped my lawn mower for an old Antoria bass guitar and together we became a country and western duo - Idlevice. We still died on our arses most places, but some places did like us and we worked quite regularly.
Andy hated the social clubs, but I could see a sort of strength in that type of music that in my mind gave it more integrity than a lot of the so called folk music. When the magic worked and you got the people up dancing, you really felt that you'd hit a nerve - and connected at more visceral level, than a gang of middle class folkies pretending that Martin Carthy's modal experiments were in the least bit to do with ordinary folk. When I wrote my only hit record in 1983, it was using a rhythm that I used to play Save the Last Dance for Me in the social clubs of the Midlands, and that I had discovered really got folks out of their seats and dancing.
After a while Andy and I split up. My idea, and one of my worse. He was a great talent, and we were stronger together than apart. However some of his fans didn't like me very much and didn't mind letting me know. My wife was very ill, and I had to give up my teaching job to look after her. I started looking to my musical skills to make a living, whereby I wasn't having to leave her unattended everyday.
So I started a solo act. I also took over Andy's Orton on the Hill folk club at the Unicorn for about 18 months. Andy and I were also running a singers club at the Globe. And I started giving guitar lessons. The only real success story from those years was teaching guitar to Donald Ross Skinner. Donald had talent oozing out of every pore, and I don't suppose any teacher could have actually stifled those talents, but from what he has said since - I think maybe I was lucky enough to have been the right teacher in the right place.
In 1979 I couldn't afford the mortgage on a Tamworth bungalow (and my wife was so seriously disabled by now that we needed a bungalow) so I moved to Nottingham, where I bought the bungalow I now live in and which has served as a home for my wife and myself. Donald phoned me up not long after I moved and asked if he could continue with the guitar lessons, I told him - it really was too far for him to come just for a guitar lesson, and there were probably better teachers.
I think the next time I heard from him was when World Shut Your Mouth was at number one and I got an invite to see him blow the room away at Rock City in Nottingham.
Whist I was in Tamworth I did an Open University degree and one of my fellow students was Tony Lee (Concept – Ed.), who was a groovy looking bank manager who played keyboards. He was a bit too sophisticated for me, I got the impression I bored him. However - a nice guy.
The full profile and history of Idlevice has yet to be added to TamworthBands.com Call back soon to read the full band details.


It's been a minute since we have heard about this film, but it looks like the marketing team is slowly waking up now. Warner Bros. released the first official trailer for Clint Eastwood's Sully. The real-life drama is all about Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the incredible pilot who became a national hero in 2009 after he successfully executed an emergency water landing.
The movie not only focuses on the miracle landing of Flight 1549, but also the subsequent investigation. And even though most of us know how the story ends, the trailer is surprisingly suspenseful.
Tom Hanks stars as Sullenberger in the film, and you can see from the trailer that he pretty much nailed the look. The impressive cast surrounding Hanks includes Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney and Holt McCallany.
It'll be interesting to see how this movie performs at the box office and with critics. We all know the Academy goes crazy for films about real life events, so this has the potential to make some noise.
One thing is for sure, recent Clint Eastwood films have some bada** trailers. Who remembers the fantastic trailer for American Sniper? This Sully trailer might not be on that level, but it's still a solid piece of work.
Sully hits theaters September 9, 2016.

2030: A Future Roadmap for Renewables?
A recent European Commission Green Paper seeking views on the development of intermediate renewable energy and climate targets for 2030 has prompted calls from the industry to adopt a three part approach, targeting renewable energy, energy efficiency and emissions reduction.
Formally opening an ongoing debate, the consultation — the Commission says — is aimed at addressing issues such as what type of energy targets should be set for 2030 and how can coherence between different policy instruments throughout the EU be attained?
With the consultation running until 2 July, the Commission intends to table the 2030 framework by the end of the year.
Commenting, Günther Oettinger, EU Commissioner for Energy, said: 'We need to define our climate and energy policy framework for 2030 as soon as possible to ensure proper investment that will give us sustainable growth, affordable competitive energy prices and greater energy security. The new framework must take into account the consequences of the economic crisis, but it must also be ambitious enough to meet the necessary long-term goal of cutting emissions 80–95 percent by 2050.'
Even with the fantastic progress of the renewables sector over the last decade and a host of additional measures, this is still a tall order. Nonetheless, the Commission has now at least taken concrete action to develop intermediate targets, something the industry has been crying out for in a bid to bolster investor confidence in the long-term stability of the sector.
Connie Hedegaard, EU Commissioner for Climate Action illustrated the point succinctly, saying: 'We have targets for 2020, but for most investors 2020 is around the corner. It's time to define the targets for 2030. The sooner we do that, the more certainty we get to our companies and our investors. And the more ambitious these targets are, the better for the climate.'
As if to ram home the point, the Commission also notes that the current carbon mechanism, the EU ETS, has 'not succeeded in being a major driver towards long term low-carbon investments.'
So much for the Commission, how has the industry responded?
In a statement, the European Renewable Energy Council's (EREC) president, Rainer Hinrichs-Rahlwes, said: 'The objectives of decarbonisation, energy security and international competitiveness in the EU will need a hat-trick, achieving the three goals of a combined renewable energy, greenhouse gas and energy efficiency framework for 2030'.
'This is the kind of long-term thinking that is needed from the EU in order to meet its 2050 decarbonisation commitments, while at the same time stabilising consumer prices,' he added.
Hinrichs-Rahlwes is calling for the heads of the various member states to provide clear guidance at the European Council in May, in particular requesting a thorough impact assessment in order to define the best match between targets for renewable energy, emissions savings and energy efficiency.
Concluding that 'energy policy debate over the coming months will be crucial to Europe's future,' Justin Wilkes, policy director of the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) said: 'Setting a binding 2030 renewable energy target would help the achievement of the 2020 targets, by providing the wind sector with the clarity needed to make the necessary long-term investments, thereby driving down capital costs as well as the cost of capital.'
In calling for a post-2020 legislative framework also based on renewables, efficiency and emissions reduction, among other recommendations EWEA also considers that the package should deploy measures ensuring the 'timely development of key enabling factors, including energy systems and grid infrastructure, electricity markets, and R&D and innovation.'
EWEA argues for an approach in which carbon pricing mediates the economy-wide action, renewables deployment targets reduce long-term costs and enable the timely scale-up of new technologies, and efficiency policy lifts non-economic barriers to energy efficiency potential.
An ambitious and binding greenhouse gas target should be set for 2030 to ensure the EU is on the optimal pathway to 80–95 percent reductions by 2050, EWEA says, adding that in order to stabilise the bloc's position for 2020, the new measures should include a 10 percent increase in the EU domestic greenhouse gas reduction — to 30 percent — by then.
Echoing the tripartite approach, European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) policy director Frauke Thies said: 'Europe must now be willing to follow through on this vision for a clean and competitive energy future, showing clear political direction and enabling further investments. That means committing to new objectives for 2030, including an ambitious and legally binding target for renewable energy sources.'
The Heat Coalition, representing the renewable heating and cooling sector, says that the forthcoming climate and energy policy framework must also adequately address the 45 percent of Europe's final energy consumption which the sector currently accounts for.
So, with the Commission having set out its stall and the industry having set out its basic proposition, we're left to consider in more detail the central questions posed by the Commission. What type of energy targets should be set for 2030? And how can policy coherence be achieved across the EU27?
There are, of course, many other questions which need to be addressed in mapping out an economically achievable path to 2020, 2030, 2050 and beyond. And, in a bid to move the debate along, for this edition of Renewable Energy World magazine we're also doing just that. Opening up the consultation we invite you to add your voice and comment below or email your response to: [email protected] As always, the best submissions may be included in print edition.

There's no underestimating the significance of ongoing education for fashion designers. To be able to stay competitive in this subject, you must perform the leading edge from the latest fashion trends, but knowing what's in fashion this year is only the beginning. Fashion designers should also perform the leading edge from the latest methods, techniques, industry standards, materials, tools and methods. If you are a fashion designer, you need to certainly be prepared to refresh your training every couple of years approximately otherwise, you will probably find yourself being left out.
There are various ongoing education choices for fashion art designers. If you're a self-trained designer, you may gain advantage from the degree of training. Even when you are already employed in the fashion field having a reasonable degree of success, you can still take advantage of an expert certificate program, associate's degree or perhaps a bachelor's degree in fashion design. If you have certificates or associate's degree, your previous coursework would most likely count towards a higher level of your practice. By growing your formal training, your talent will end up more refined, and you'll understand certain techniques a lot better than you probably did before.
It may seem long all, and when you are smart enough to construct a career on self-trained skills, you most likely do. However, formal training is definitely going that will help you go one stage further.

V gruzínském městě Batumi byla do roku 2005 v provozu malá trolejbusová síť.

Trolejbusy vyjely poprvé do batumských ulic dne 6. listopadu 1978. Síť se postupně zvětšovala a největšího rozsahu dosáhla roku 1985. Tehdy byly v provozu 3 trolejbusové linky o délce 41 km, které obsluhovalo 41 vozidel. Na začátku 90. let 20. století byla zrušena městská linka č. 1, v roce 1998 přestaly trolejbusy jezdit na lince 1. V provozu tak zůstala jediná linka č. 2 mezi centrem Batumi a osadou Chelvačauri, která byla zrušena v roce 2005.

V Batumi byly kromě ruských trolejbusů ZiU-9 (celkem 60 vozidel) v provozu také československé vozy Škoda 9Tr (dodáno 16 kusů) a Škoda 14Tr (2 vozidla, která byla zakoupena ve druhé polovině 80. let 20. století). V roce 1985 byl vozový park rozšířen o dalších šest ojetých trolejbusů 9Tr původem z Tbilisi. V roce 2003 byl vozový park tvořen dvěma provozními trolejbusy 9Tr, třemi ruskými ZiU-9 (taktéž v provozu) a dvěma odstavenými vozy 14Tr.

Yesterday evening we had a family dinner with my sister and her husband. This morning they packed what was left in their Ballard apartment into their car and started a three and a half day journey to their new home in Chicago.
While my brother lived in San Francisco for most of a year recently, that somehow seemed different... probably because we knew he wasn't planning to stay there. Alex and Kelly are planning to stay in Chicago. We know we'll see them again, but Chicago just feels like a long way away! We are looking forward to seeing them in November after baby Halcyone is born!
We've had a lot of fun with them over the past year; camping and crabbing, watching movies, sharing dinner and getting cupcakes, working on their wedding, playing board games, and introducing Alex to fireworks purchasing and lighting. Below are some of the pictures from these events together!

One year in office, Defense Minister Song faces tough tasks ahead
By Song Sang-ho
SEOUL, July 11 (Yonhap) -- After one year in office, Defense Minister Song Young-moo faces a series of daunting challenges, including restoring public trust amid reports of misdeeds by a key military unit and probes into sexual abuse allegations involving senior officers.
The retired admiral will mark the first anniversary of his inauguration Saturday, on a somewhat low note, with detractors decrying his recent verbal gaffe and the slow pace of a project to craft a defense reform blueprint.
The most immediate challenge comes from the public anger following the recent revelations that the Defense Security Command (DSC) drew up a document to explore the possibility last year of imposing martial law to cope with public protests should they spiral out of control after a court ruling on the impeachment of then corruption-tainted President Park Geun-hye.
Nearly six months of massive yet peaceful protests in Seoul led to the unprecedented dismissal of the former president, who is currently on trial for a string of corruption charges, including bribery and abuse of power.
After Rep. Rhee Cheol-hee of the ruling Democratic Party made the revelations last week, Song came under fire for failing to take timely steps to investigate the DSC document even though he was briefed on it in March.
The case has drawn the ire of the public, as critics say that any idea of using the military to handle public rallies runs counter to democratic principles, and that it could mark another case of the military's political intervention.
Apparently mindful of public consternation, President Moon Jae-in issued an order Tuesday to form an independent probe team while banning the defense minister from influencing the investigation process.
The public outrage over the DSC document came as the command has already been in a crisis of confidence amid criticism of its operatives' alleged political meddling and surveillance of the families of the victims of the 2014 ferry disaster.
Another tough task for Song is to complete the Defense Reform 2.0 blueprint aimed at reorganizing the military into a smaller yet more powerful one. The minister briefed the president twice, in February and May, on the reform proposals, but the plans have yet to be finalized.
Compounding the task is how to reflect the changing inter-Korean relations into the blueprint.
Over the last several months, Seoul and Pyongyang have agreed to a series of fence-mending measures, including the April 27 inter-Korean summit agreement to halt "all hostile acts" against each other in all domains, including land, sea and air.
In line with the peace mood, observers say that Song could face calls to readjust the centerpiece of the defense reform drive: the "three-axis" system that consists of the Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation, an operational plan to incapacitate the North Korean leadership in a major conflict; the Kill Chain pre-emptive strike platform, and the Korea Air and Missile Defense system.
Maintaining the robust security alliance with the United States is another challenge.
Amid stepped-up diplomacy on the North's denuclearization, the allies have decided to halt a set of annual combined military exercises, including the Freedom Guardian originally slated for August -- a move that some fear could lead to a weakening of their defense readiness posture.
The coordination of the transfer of wartime operational control (OPCON) will also be a major alliance issue facing the minister.
In the allies' annual Security Consultative Meeting slated to take place in Washington in October, their defense ministers are expected to agree to a broad road map on the "conditions-based" OPCON transfer.
Shoring up public trust and troop morale in the wake of alleged sexual abuse cases in the military is yet another task. In recent weeks, two general grade officers have been put under investigation for sexual abuse allegations.
Adding to the already full plate of tasks is the criticism of his recent gaffe.
During the Monday meeting with counselors specializing in sexual abuse cases, Song said, "Women should be careful with their demeanor." As public criticism surged, he apologized for the "inappropriate" remarks.
Last year, Song also courted criticism with what critics called sexually offensive remarks. During a visit to the Joint Security Area in the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas, Song told troops during a lunch meeting, "The shorter the pre-meal speeches and miniskirts, the better."

Home NEWS We'll Do Better Than Men – Female Gubernatorial Candidates
We'll Do Better Than Men – Female Gubernatorial Candidates
Female governorship candidates in different political parties, on Monday, promised to be better than their male counterparts if elected into office during the 2023 elections in Nigeria.
They also carpeted most politicians, especially the governors, for their failure to deliver dividends of democracy to the electorates who voted them into power.
The women governorship candidates bared their minds in Abuja during a consultative media parley jointly organized by Women Radio and Women in Business, supported by the United Nations Women (Nigeria) and the Government of Canada.
The UN Women's Country Representative, Beatrice Eyong, observed that though the proportion of women in parliament has doubled globally since 1995 to 26.4 per cent, this has not been the case for Nigeria, as women's political representation has been on a steady decline from 1999 to date.
The Executive Director of WIMBIZ, Hansatu Adegbite, deplored the low representation of women in politics and governance, but expressed optimism that if they cannot get it in 2023, women would have brighter chances in 2027 and beyond both in politics, appointment and governance.
The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party in Abia State, Gladys Ngozika Johnson-Ogbuneke, said bad governance was responsible for the #ENDSARS protest that engulfed the nation in 2020.
She said the people of Abia state have suffered for 31 years since it was created, adding that it was time for the government to prioritize education and security.
Johnson-Ogbuneke said, "I watched with much sadness about the protests and movements in 2020. And I heard the stories about what goes on about police brutality in Nigeria. But I was very proud of the Nigerian youths. I was very encouraged that they'd come of age, and that they could now boldly ask questions. So that got me into organizing a zoom meeting with a group of them. And I found myself getting into civil talks and getting into civil political matters.
"Then I was also encouraged by them to come in and do something. We know in Nigeria, even though there is a democracy, we don't have any government that looks into homelessness, education and any other social needs of the people. I plan to transform Abia State into a modern state. For 31 years, the best done by the people there is not enough.
"I am going to make sure that our schools are digitized. Abia State actually looks like a glorified village. When you go to Umuahia, there is nothing that anybody can copy. I promise to develop the state and do my best."
The governorship candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance in Niger State, Khadijat Abdullahi, said despite the fact that the state has the largest land mass in the country, the government has failed to harness its potential.
She insisted that women must get out of their comfort zone to change the negative narrative.
"I will engage in the industrial revolution. Niger State has generated a total of about N7 trillion in Internally Generated Revenue and that even goes to the payment of workers. I am worried that there has to be a state of emergency on the water. We have four hydroelectric power systems and at a time, we have powered the all country before and we can still do that," she said.
The governorship candidate of Action Peoples Party in Delta State, Anabel Cosmos, stressed the need for women to change the narrative.
According to her, one of the major factors militating against women in politics was the lack of funds.
"Women are suffering, our educational sector is suffering. With the little appointment that was given to me in Delta after I contested the governorship election in 2019, I was able to carry out some empowerment programmes in all Senatorial District. But I have decided to change. What we need is money. Let us support ourselves. Women don't support themselves. Enough of letting ourselves down in the public. We are managers in our homes, so we can manage our different States. I am here to challenge the men that I am going to do it better," Cosmos said.
For the presidential standard bearer of the Allied Peoples Movement, Dr Ebiti Ndok-Jegede, her party would restructure the country if voted into power.
While emphasizing the need to revive moribund industries, she said Nigeria could only move forward when the citizens change their mindset on governance.
She said, "Every local government can't be industrialized in isolation, thereby creating jobs. We can reconstruct Nigeria in very many ways by restructuring the economy of this nation. Inflation is high presently. Nigeria is a rich nation but see where we are today.
"So I've mentioned to you restoration, reviving, reconstruction, and restructuring. We need to revolutionize the mentality of Nigerians. You need to begin to think positively that only the best is good for you as a Nigerian and we all have to work today.
Eyong expressed the UN's commitment to "strengthening our partnerships with government actors, the private sector, the media development partners and civil society to advance women's political leadership in the 2023 elections and beyond."
According to her, women currently occupy only 3.8 per cent of parliamentary seats across the national and state levels, adding that no woman has ever been elected as governor in the history of elections in Nigeria.
She said, "Everyone suffers from the under-representation of women and their organizations. Participation of women and girls in decision-making is needed for policies and budgets to effectively meet everyone's needs and achieve crisis prevention, response, and recovery. When more women participate in public life and policymaking, greater emphasis and resource allocations point to social policies, environmental priorities and issues like health, education, childcare, infrastructure, ending violence against women and overall quality of life concerns.
"Several factors have militated against women's effective participation and representation in politics, which you're all aware of, having lived and experienced these challenges. These include limited funding to run political campaigns Economic disparities between men and women often mean that women cannot compete at the same level as men. For example, the cost of running an election campaign in Nigeria is astronomical and yet women in Nigeria earn 36 per cent less than men according to the World Economic Forum. Women are set back even before they begin.
"Women candidates have unequal access to media platforms to run their campaigns and create visibility for themselves. Candidates use mass media for political advertising and expend vast human and financial resources on planning and executing mass media campaigns; unfortunately, most women cannot afford this compared to their male counterparts. In situations where the media covers political activities voluntarily, women candidates are often not considered newsworthy.
"Consequently, they are overlooked. In some cases, the media is used to reinforce gender stereotypes, weakening the chances of women candidates being elected."

"We were literally doing a new album a year back then. When Suffer turned 25 in 2013, I thought, "Man, that's amazing.' Then No Control turned 25 and we didn't even talk about it. I thought that was kind of sad. And now, Against the Grain's going to be 25. It's kind of weird."
"Everybody has their own idea of what was the most important album. I think Suffer, No Control, and Against the Grain all seem to be sort of this package deal for a lot of people. Those three records came out within three years and I think they illustrated who we were and what we were doing as a band. Against the Grain turning 25 is sort of an indication of the end of that era".
'Against The Grain' was released November 23, 1990 shortly after the conclusion of the 'No Control' tour which had lasted until the middle of 1990. The album was highly anticipated by both music critics and fans as a result of the band's success with their 1988 post-reunion album 'Suffer' and its 1989 follow-up 'No Control'. While 'Against The Grain' still failed to break Bad Religion into mainstream audiences, it was the first 100,000 seller, and showed how quickly they were growing.

Darryl Strawberry recalls 'powerful' drug addiction: 'Players have done them forever'
Updated Jan 13, 2019; Posted May 26, 2015
Former MLB player Darryl Strawberry makes appearance in Birmingham

By Wesley Sinor | wsinor@al.com
Darryl Strawberry's career on the baseball diamond was often overshadowed by his history with cocaine.
The four-time World Series champion and eight-time MLB All-Star discussed his battles with drug addiction in Birmingham Tuesday while promoting this week's Rickwood Classic.
"Drug addiction is very powerful," Strawberry said. "Drugs have been around sports forever and players have done them forever. I wasn't the first one... there were a lot of other players who did them too. We were high-profile and there was more recognition on us because of the fall of who we were -- such great talents at such a young age."
Strawberry's involvement with drugs dates back to the 1980s during his time with the New York Mets. In all, he was suspended a total of three times for cocaine use throughout his career.
Now clean, Strawberry has embraced religion and faith. He serves as a minister and gives speeches across the country to warn people about addiction and other pitfalls. He also started the Darryl Strawberry Foundation to assist those fighting autism.
"(Addiction) is a struggle and you can get caught up in it," he said. "It led to a life of destructive behavior, there's no question about it. My relationships with my first wife and second wife -- it tore people's lives up. Anyone who has an addiction problem is very selfish, very self-centered and it's strictly about them. They don't care who they screw up along the way."
Strawberry is this year's guest of honor at the 20th annual Rickwood Classic, as this year's edition features the Birmingham Barons and Jacksonville Suns. Players will wear replica flannel uniforms from the 1948 season.
The game is set for 12:30 p.m. at Birmingham's Rickwood Field Wednesday.

Stoned driver's attempt to get away from M1 police fails
Zaki Daudo also earned himself a fine for breaching coronavirus lockdown
Tom MackSenior Reporter
The police noticed the speeding BMW near Watford Gap (Image: Google)
A driver high on cannabis pretended to stop for police before swerving sharply and speeding off.
Zaki Daudo was driving a rented BMW, carrying three of his friends, at 95mph on the southbound carriageway of the M1 near Watford Gap services when a police officer tried to pull him over for speeding.
He tried to flee, and during the resulting pursuit, the 29-year-old, of Wilson Street, Spinney Hills, Leicester, sped through two red lights and almost caused a collision during the crime, which happened on April 30 last year.
He only gave up trying to escape the police after losing control of the car and nearly crashing.
When he was arrested and asked what the purpose of his trip was, he laughed and replied he was exercising with his friends. He was given an on-the-spot fine for breaching lockdown.
Daudo appeared at Leicester Crown Court on Tuesday for sentencing having admitted dangerous driving and driving while under the influence of drugs.
Prosecutor Lucia Harrington described how the police officer first spotted Daudo's vehicle and, after following him for a while, moved in front of the BMW and flashed the rear sign in the back of his unmarked police car which states: "Follow me."
The officer got in the left lane to leave the motorway at junction 16 and Daudo followed behind him up until the junction. But when the option of moving legally back onto the motorway had passed, Daudo swerved across the solid line and back onto the M1.
Unable to safely follow him, the officer radioed for colleagues to track and follow the BMW, and it was picked up again on the A45 heading at speed towards Northampton.
As a second police car caught up with Daudo, he was seen quickly switching between lanes and undertaking other vehicles on the dual carriageway.
After spotting the police, Daudo accelated and was chased by the police car, which had its sirens and blue lights on.
Miss Harrington said: "He left the A45. At a roundabout the defendant went through a red light, causing another driver to have to brake to avoid a collision.
"He went back onto the A45 again and drove to the Brackmills junction where he went through another red light, lost control and skidded."

After nearly crashing, Daudo chose to pull the car over and was arrested.
Miss Harrington said: "He was asked why he was out. He laughed and said he was out for exercise with his friends."
At first he told police he did not realise the unmarked police car had been trying to stop him.
He then claimed he failed to stop because he was scared.
Then, at a nearby police station, where he tested postive for cannabis, he gave "no comment" answers during an interview.
James Armstrong-Holmes, representing Daudo, said: "It was a relatively short-lived incident and not in a built-up area.
"Having panicked and made off, he eventually came to his senses."
Recorder William Harbage QC, sentencing Daudo, said the speed, manner of driving, cannabis and the fact that Daudo had three passengers in his car all made the offence more serious.

He said: "Your driving was extremely dangerous and completely unnecessary.
"You had passengers in your car when you were driving in this dangerous manner and you put them at risk. Clearly a custodial sentence is called for."
But he said the fact it was Daudo's first motoring offence, and the severe situations in prisons due to the pandemic, meant he was not going to jail him.
Recorder Harbage sentenced him to six months in prison, suspended for two years.
He also ordered Daudo to do 150 hours of unpaid work, attend a probation Thinking Skills programme and take part in 10 further days of probation work.
Daudo was also disqualified from driving for 12 months.

The year of 2016 was a landmark year, due to the vivid changes in the political, economic, and business landscape. UK's exit from the EU, the Trump Presidency, demonetisation in India, and several incidents of cyber-attacks had made the year for what it was. From a technology standpoint, these changes, along with the other market developments are paving way for Industry 4.0, digitisation (SMAC), cost efficiencies, cyber security, intelligence and the rise of SMEs/start-ups – and the software product industry is right in the middle of this.
As per IDC, the global industry was valued at USD 413 billion in 2016, with a 6.4% Y-o-Y growth. On-premise continued to be the largest segment but public cloud experienced higher growth (7.6X the growth of on-premise).
The India market does mimic the technology trends of the global landscape. The industry is expected to garner a revenue of USD 7 billion in FY 2017, a 9.5% YoY growth. Of this, exports, which contribute 1/3rd to the market, is expected to grow by 7.8%, while the domestic market is expected to have a higher growth of 10.4%.
1. Indian product companies rising and shinning globally: In the global markets, Indian product companies are breaking through customers' proclivity towards global software giants, by offering low-cost, value-added and agile technologies. Products such as CRM, contact center software, retail banking, and revenue management are already being featured in the Gartner's magic quadrant, highlighting that Indian companies are coming at par with global players.
2. Asia-Pacific and Middle-East becomes lucrative export destination: While the US continues to be the major market, there is a growing demand for Indian software products in countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines, UAE, Bahrain, Dubai, and the list goes on. The ability of Indian product companies to provide both end-to-end and point solutions, whether on-premise or on cloud – makes them attractive in the Asian and Middle-East markets.
3. The domestic market sees higher growth – with new breeds of customers emerging: Driven by the changing environment both globally and in India, the domestic market is witnessing a higher growth (10.4% YoY, 2.8 times the growth in FY 2016). Within the domestic markets, though larger enterprises constitute the major customer base, newer customer types comprising the Government, PSUs, SMBs, and Banks/Payment Banks are gradually increasing their software consumption. The key drivers for this would be the phenomenal digital drive by the government, and the rise of new age tech product companies, providing software that can cater well to the rising mid-market segment.
4. Opportunity Segments –SaaS, FinTech, and Cyber Security have been some of the prominent segments of the year. SaaS, driven by virtualization/cloud adoption; FinTech driven by the movement towards cashless economy, and the global demand for Indian banking solutions; cyber security, driven by rising digitisation and the subsequent rise in security breaches. The year saw newer product types, newer concepts, and a movement towards smart, agile technologies.
5. Redefining year for the product start-ups: In the whole product ecosystem, start-ups continue to play an important role, offering innovative solutions around analytics, artificial intelligence, robotics, and cloud technologies. The year of 2016 had been a defining year, with utmost focus on business effectiveness, sustainability, and technological prowess, and is believed to have laid a more mature and solid foundation for the upcoming years. With 4750+ start-ups in India, the community is significantly contributing to innovation, product differentiation, and rise in the talent pool, and most important of all, contributing to the 'By India, For India, and Of India' Movement.
Well, in this blog, we barely scratched the tip of the iceberg. To get in-depth insights on market developments, key strategies employed by top players, industry benchmarks, outlook, and compare software products with other segments such as IT services, BPM, and eCommerce, download your copy of NASSCOM's flagship report The IT-BPM Sector in India: Strategic Review 2017.
Good summary about Product industry and startup. Well written.

Our Logo, the Texas Sweet Onion
We're happy to introduce AFI's new logo to the world - and it's pretty sweet! It features one of Texas's most iconic crops - the 1015 Super Sweet Onion.
"ONIONS are Texas' leading vegetable crop," according to Texas A&M's Aggie Horticulture website. "Onion sales bring the state between $70 and $100 million per year and the onion industry has an overall impact of about $350 million per year on the Texas economy. Most of the sweet yellow onions, which people all over the world enjoy because you can "eat them like an apple", can trace their origin to the Lone Star state."
We thought that would be appropriate.
Here's what Texas distributor Hardies has to say...
"Sweet Deal! Texas 1015 Super Sweet Onions are consider to be one of the sweetest of the sweet domestic onions. High water and sugar combined with low sulfur content give these onions their unique sweet, mild flavor.
Regular sweet onion are typically 6% sugar. Super sweet onions like the Texas 1015s have recorded up to 15% sugar content! Unfortunately, this also makes them more susceptible to bruising. To prevent bruising, keep cool, dry and separated.
Developed in the early 1980's by Dr. Leonard Pike, a horticulture professor at Texas A&M University, Texas 1015 Onions are actually named for their optimum planting date, October 15. Grown only in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, this large, prized onion was developed after ten long years of extensive research, endless testing and a million dollars in cost. As a result, Texas achieved a mild, exceptionally sweet onion that lives up to its nickname – the "Million Dollar Baby".
The sweet onion was adopted as Texas' official state onion in 1997.

I buy so many journals it's not even funny. T won't let me buy anymore...lol. Well, He knows how much I'm growing to love arts and crafts projects that he got me a cute large pink wicker box full of craft supplies. Inside were rhinestones, paint and brushes, stickers, a hot glue gun and other embellishments and do-dads. He also at a separate time purchased me a simple black journal that had "Write" on the front. It was about 6 bucks from Barnes and Noble. I typically don't fill up my journals because I get bored with them. Dumb, I know, so I decided to create one that I knew I'd want to fill up. I used Elmers glue to add the decorative paper and the little pocket inside the front cover. I used my hot glue gun to add gold ribbon along the seams and edges of the inside cover and green flat back rhinestones for a bit of flare. I absolutely love it and I can't wait to fill it up with prayers and personal bible study notes. I'll make another one one day, but I'm determined to finish this one before I either purchase or create a new one. I hope you guys like it!


Shares of TEVA on the Nasdaq exchange have risen 30% from the beginning of 2014.
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries is acquiring Labrys Biologics, a privately-held development stage biotechnology company focused on treatments for chronic migraine and episodic migraine, the two companies announced Tuesday.
Teva will acquire Labrys for $200 million in upfront payment in cash at closing as well as up to $625 million in contingent payments upon achievement of certain pre-launch milestones, according to the definitive agreement.
Labrys has been developing a drug to treat migraines known as LBR-101, which it describes as "a fully humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to calcitonin gene-related peptide." It is currently in Phase IIb clinical trials. It acquired LBR-101 from Pfizer in 2012. The companies estimate that peak sales for the drug could reach $2 billion to $3 billion.
The closing of this transaction is subject to antitrust clearance and satisfaction of other conditions, the companies cautioned.
Shares of TEVA on the Nasdaq exchange rose nearly 3% after announcing a new organizational structure, and have risen 30% from the beginning of 2014 to its highest levels since early 2011.

Today's F260 Bible reading: Esther 3-4
3:1 Some time later King Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, exalting him and setting his position above that of all the officials who were with him. 2As a result, all the king's servants who were at the king's gate were bowing and paying homage to Haman, for the king had so commanded. However, Mordecai did not bow, nor did he pay him homage. 3Then the servants of the king who were at the king's gate asked Mordecai, "Why are you violating the king's commandment?" 4And after they had spoken to him day after day without his paying any attention to them, they informed Haman to see whether this attitude on Mordecai's part would be permitted. Furthermore, he had disclosed to them that he was a Jew. 5When Haman saw that Mordecai was not bowing or paying homage to him, he was filled with rage. 6But the thought of striking out against Mordecai alone was repugnant to him, for he had been informed of the identity of Mordecai's people. So Haman sought to destroy all the Jews (that is, the people of Mordecai) who were in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus. 7In the first month (that is, the month of Nisan), in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus' reign, pur (that is, the lot) was cast before Haman in order to determine a day and a month. It turned out to be the twelfth month (that is, the month of Adar). 8Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a particular people that is dispersed and spread among the inhabitants throughout all the provinces of your kingdom whose laws differ from those of all other peoples. Furthermore, they do not observe the king's laws. It is not appropriate for the king to provide a haven for them. 9If the king is so inclined, let an edict be issued to destroy them. I will pay 10,000 talents of silver to be conveyed to the king's treasuries for the officials who carry out this business." 10So the king removed his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, who was hostile toward the Jews. 11The king replied to Haman, "Keep your money, and do with those people whatever you wish." 12So the royal scribes were summoned in the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month. Everything Haman commanded was written to the king's satraps and governors who were in every province and to the officials of every people, province by province according to its script and people by people according to their language. In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written and sealed with the king's signet ring. 13Letters were sent by the runners to all the king's provinces stating that they should destroy, kill, and annihilate all the Jews, from youth to elderly, both women and children, on a particular day, namely the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (that is, the month of Adar), and to loot and plunder their possessions. 14A copy of this edict was to be presented as law throughout every province; it was to be made known to all the inhabitants, so that they would be prepared for this day. 15The messengers scurried forth with the king's order. The edict was issued in Susa the citadel. While the king and Haman sat down to drink, the city of Susa was in an uproar. 4:1 Now when Mordecai became aware of all that had been done, he tore his garments and put on sackcloth and ashes. He went out into the city, crying out in a loud and bitter voice. 2But he went no farther than the king's gate, for no one was permitted to enter the king's gate clothed in sackcloth. 3Throughout each and every province where the king's edict and law were announced there was considerable mourning among the Jews, along with fasting, weeping, and sorrow. Sackcloth and ashes were characteristic of many. 4When Esther's female attendants and her eunuchs came and informed her about Mordecai's behavior, the queen was overcome with anguish. Although she sent garments for Mordecai to put on so that he could remove his sackcloth, he would not accept them. 5So Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs who had been placed at her service, and instructed him to find out the cause and reason for Mordecai's behavior. 6So Hathach went to Mordecai at the plaza of the city in front of the king's gate. 7Then Mordecai related to him everything that had happened to him, even the specific amount of money that Haman had offered to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews to be destroyed. 8He also gave him a written copy of the law that had been disseminated in Susa for their destruction so that he could show it to Esther and talk to her about it. He also gave instructions that she should go to the king to implore him and petition him on behalf of her people. 9So Hathach returned and related Mordecai's instructions to Esther. 10Then Esther replied to Hathach with instructions for Mordecai: 11"All the servants of the king and the people of the king's provinces know that there is only one law applicable to any man or woman who comes uninvited to the king in the inner court—that person will be put to death, unless the king extends to him the gold scepter, permitting him to be spared. Now I have not been invited to come to the king for some 30 days." 12When Esther's reply was conveyed to Mordecai, 13he said to take back this answer to Esther: "Don't imagine that because you are part of the king's household you will be the one Jew who will escape. 14If you keep quiet at this time, liberation and protection for the Jews will appear from another source, while you and your father's household perish. It may very well be that you have achieved royal status for such a time as this!" 15Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: 16"Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast on my behalf. Don't eat and don't drink for three days, night or day. My female attendants and I will also fast in the same way. Afterward I will go to the king, even though it violates the law. If I perish, I perish." 17So Mordecai set out to do everything that Esther had instructed him. (NET Bible)

Organisers: NERC Arctic Office, UK Science and Innovation Network in Russia, Tomsk State University (TSU)
Join us for the webinar to hear directly from Tomsk State University's leading researchers on the University's ongoing and future scientific projects linked to the Arctic research and climate change impacts.
From environmental monitoring in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions to Siberian rock glaciers to research into the Northern Hemisphere's largest swamp system (the Great Vasyugan Mire) – Tomsk State University covers it all and much more! We will take you on an exciting journey to discover the University's BioClimLand multidisciplinary research centre, environmental research across Siberia's mega-transect and opportunities for fieldwork and networking across Siberia through the Siberian Change Network (SecNet).
Located in the city of Tomsk in Western Siberia, TSU is a well-established international science and higher education player and member of the UArctic. TSU operates three INTERACT affiliated research stations ("Aktru" in the Altai Mountains, "Kajbasovo" in the middle course of the Ob River, "Khanymej" in the permafrost zone) and has over 300 sampling sites as well as mobile laboratories for all-year fieldwork. (More details on the University and research facilities below).
Dr. Sergey Kirpotin
Professor, Director of the "Bio-Clim-Land" Center of Excellence at Tomsk State University (Tomsk, Russia)
Research interests: Arctic studies, geocryology, remote sensing, plant ecology and biogeochemistry, life forms and adaptations of organisms, the general theory of symmetry, landscape ecology, environmental management
Over the years, Sergey developed one of the topical and poorly developed environmental issues – the spatial structure of ecosystems and landscapes. Sergey Kirpotin and his colleagues studied and comprehensively justified the global climate-regulating role of the West Siberian swamps. The team led by Sergey Kirpotin developed the Concept of Siberia as a unique natural mega-facility that largely regulates the carbon cycle and climate of the planet, unprecedentedly accessible to researchers, and which can become the basis for large network projects and research consortia.
Dr. Terry V. Callaghan, CMG
Professor of Botany at Tomsk State University (Tomsk, Russia); Professor of Arctic Ecology at Sheffield University, Scientific Co-ordinator of INTERACT
Research interests: Arctic ecology and climate change, science diplomacy
Terry Callaghan started as an Arctic plant ecologist in 1967, working for 53 years in every Arctic country. His research developed from plant ecology into ecosystem science and environmental change. He developed several scientific fields and has led many initiatives, contributing to major Arctic and global organisations and environmental assessments including ACIA, SWIPA, UNEP Ozone Panel and IPCC. For 14 years, he led the Abisko Scientific Research Station in Swedish Lapland and in 2001 developed the INTERACT network, which currently joins 88 stations. He co-developed the Siberian Environmental Change Network. His research contributions have been recognised by inclusion in the joint award of the Nobel Peace Prize to IPCC in 2007.
Dr. Alexander Erofeev
Associate Professor of the Geology and Geography Faculty and Head of the Glacioclimatology Laboratory at Tomsk State University (Tomsk, Russia)

Andrew K. Hammond - "Repair the Economic Breach"
Miriam Webster Dictionary defines the word minority as the smaller in number of two groups, constituting a whole. Native black Americans are the minority in our country and yet, in the inner city dominating in number of COVID-19 cases. It almost as seems like an oxymoron that, the least can have the most. This is solely due to a breach in healthy equity and economics. This disparity impacts all communities and classes.
My work focuses on expressing the culture, history and future of people in the African-American dispersion, which is an important undertaking in a society filled with historical mythology. Critics speak of my versatility, and expressive work through collages which provoke thought and create visual disputation and resolve. I will never concede to having the torch of my hero, Romare Bearden (1911-1988), but confess that my torch has been lit by Bearden, George Grosz (1893-1959) Minnesota's Mel Smith and "Dame" Judy Bowman.

Press Release on Progress of the Polling Process
ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF NAMIBIA
PRESS RELEASE ON PROGRESS OF THE POLLING PROCESS:
2014 PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY ELECTIONS
Today, Friday, the 28th November, as we all should know the long awaited polling day for the Presidential and National Assembly elections has finally arrived. The purpose of this press release is to update the Nation on the progress of the polling process across the country on these historic Presidential and National Assembly elections.
Some of us rose up earlier than usual this morning to greet the day with much anticipation. As we are speaking right now, we are already half-way through the polling process. The first thing that struck me as I surveyed the polling stations around Windhoek, was the LONG, WINDING QUEUES of voters ready to cast their votes. It is a scene reminiscent of the first democratic elections held in 1989, when voters flocked to the polling stations in droves to form similar long, winding queues. We know that the voter turnout was over 90% in 1989, but I do not wish to speculate what the final voter turnout would be today, but suffice to say that, so far, it is encouraging indeed!
The second thing that struck me this morning and which pleased me most is fact that the people standing in the queues were patiently waiting for their turns to vote IN A PEACEFUL ATMOSPHERE and we would like to extend our thanks to the Namibian Police who continue to safeguard this important national process.
All in all, the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) is very pleased with how the voting process is progressing. The Majority of the polling stations (98%) of them opened on time in all 14 regions. The ECN is happy to observe the long queues at the polling stations which speak volumes about the turnout of the electorate to take part in these historical elections. The ECN is also pleased to note that many young people have turned out in numbers to vote in this year's elections. I hope we continue with this trend as the elections progress.
Having said that, the ECN has also experienced a few challenges during the early hours of polling in some regions, most of which are mostly operator errors. The following are some of the minor problems often cited:
Operator errors with regard to the voter verification devices. As a sign of teething problems, some of the operators seem to have panicked as the voter verification devises were introduced for the very first time;
Problems related to the preparations of the EVMS such as:
masked buttons of EVMs which should have been unmasked;
Problems relating to time setting of EVM during the First Level Checks
Technical such the Control Unit of the EVM not making a beep sound as it should when a transaction takes place;
Pressing wrong buttons on the EVMs
Voters taking selfies (photographs of themselves with cellular phones) whilst voting in the voting booth, thereby compromising the secret of the ballot.
Last, it is clear that most of the above challenges can be attributed to human and operator errors and I am glad to inform you that from the updates the ECN has been receiving from the officials on the ground, the solution to the above problems have been fixed by our technical and support field staff and the voting process has picked up in all 14 regions of the country. With the exception of the above minor challenges, I would like to reassure the Nation and the public at large that, overall, the voting process is going extremely well and, at the end of the day, the ECN expects to deliver credible elections to the Namibian Nation.

R-Type (???·??? Aru Taipu?) is a side scrolling shoot-em-up arcade game produced by Irem in 1987. The player controls a space fighter named the R-9 to defend humanity against a mysterious powerful alien life-form known as the "Bydo".
The game is made up of several sequential levels, with a boss enemy at the end of each. The player controls a small spacecraft and must navigate terrain and fight enemies using the various ship weapons.
The player's spacecraft has, by default, a weak but rapid-firing main gun, which can take out waves of weak fighters; and a more powerful gun called a wave cannon, which requires the player to hold their fire to build up power for the cannon. When released, this fires a concentrated bolt of energy which can do more damage to larger enemies.
During the game, the player can obtain an auxiliary device called a Force. This resembles a glowing orange ball. The Force can be attached to the front or back of the player's spacecraft, or detached to fly freely. When attached, the Force provides one of three different powerful weapons, in addition to the main gun and the wave cannon. When detached, these weapons cannot be used, but the Force will instead resort to a secondary set of guns, which can be fired by the player even if the Force is at a distance from the spacecraft.
The Force has a secondary use as a shield; it is completely indestructible and can block most things fired at it, as well as damage or destroy enemies on contact. It can also be used as a ram, either by attaching it to the spacecraft and running into enemies, or by launching it into enemies.

Happy Newyear from myself, and the other BigGuts staffmembers.
We are proud that we are still around (and growing). This would never have worked without all of you that come here to post and show themselves!
Let's hope BigGuts will stay around for a long time to come!
Have a good 2008! And many more years to come.


The parade of cases undermining the first sale exception of copyright law continued this week with an unfortunate ruling from the Second Circuit.
The "first sale" principle is what allows the purchaser of a copy of a book or CD or other copyrighted work to later resell that copy to someone else without infringing the copyright owner's distribution right. It's an important free-market limitation on copyright owners' rights that most of us take for granted. In the recent Second Circuit case, Wiley v. Kirtsaeng, a graduate student lawfully acquired foreign editions of textbooks abroad and then resold them in the United States. The student was subsequently sued by the U.S. textbook owner for copyright infringement. Looking at the statutory language of the first sale provision together with another provision of the Copyright Act concerning importation of copyrighted works, the court concluded that the first sale doctrine applies only to copies that are manufactured domestically, and not to copies manufactured abroad.
The ruling has potentially far-reaching implications. In theory, it could give copyright owners full control to regulate or even prohibit resale of their works so long as the copies of those works are manufactured abroad. Imagine if Apple tried to argue that you couldn't resell your iPhone that was manufactured in China, or if Toyota tried to argue that you couldn't resell your Prius that was manufactured in Japan. If a product incorporates some copyrightable component—likely true for most electronics and many new cars, which include copyrightable software or firmware, though even a copyrighted logo will suffice (more on that below)—you might only be able to resell it, if at all, on the copyright owner's terms.
The ruling also creates a perverse incentive for U.S. businesses to move their manufacturing operations abroad. Surprisingly, the court concedes this point in its opinion but declines to be persuaded by it. It is difficult for us to imagine this is the outcome Congress intended.
Separately, it's hard to reconcile an outcome in which U.S. copyright law is alternately available (to the copyright owner seeking to enforce U.S. copyright rights) and not available (to the consumer seeking U.S. copyright law's resale protections). The court even notes that while the books at issue were published abroad, they nevertheless all bore American copyright notices and in some instances invoked provisions of the Copyright Act. That the copyright owner should be permitted to avail itself of the U.S. copyright scheme while the consumer of the copy is barred from doing so seems inconsistent at best.
In a factually similar case from 2008, the Ninth Circuit found that the mere presence of a copyrighted logo enabled a manufacturer to invoke the first sale doctrine to block the unauthorized sale of imported goods. But the court created a limitation on that principle: If the initial sale had occurred with the copyright owner's authority, then the first sale doctrine would apply. The Wiley court established no such limitation. Under its holding, even a sale authorized by the copyright owner would not trigger first sale provisions. The breadth of the rule is striking.
EFF and others had asked the Supreme Court to review the Ninth Circuit's earlier decision. The Court agreed; however, the justices were evenly divided on both sides of the issue (Justice Kagan recused herself), so the matter remains unresolved. Given the discrepancy in these circuit holdings and the Supreme Court's earlier expression of interest, we think it's likely the Court will pick up the issue again. Hopefully its analysis will support, rather than undermine, time-honored first sale protections.

Coimbatore can be the synonym for Silk. The silk products are in abundance in the market. The mass production of other textile products and the lone production of silk products run parallel. The mills in the city have a running history since early 20th century. The inception of the top textile companies in Coimbatore began with these textile mills. Some were privately owned while some were owned by British Government. Yet the textile products in Coimbatore are available in great numbers and are varied with diverse taste of people. The sarees are flamboyant in color and are surreal that it looks amazing on the one who adorns it.
The Cotton Spinning mills in Coimbatore constitute for up to 40% of the total textile mills in the state. The spinning and ginning mills are in greater numbers and is biggest employment generator for the unskilled and skilled laborers.
The silk production is in whopping numbers which is evident from the fact that 75% of the textile products in Coimbatore are silk products.
The cotton fabrics and the dyes fabrics are the specialty of the city. The spinning and ginning of fabrics is done on a large scale and the demands for the yarn and fabrics are met by Coimbatore. The number of spinning mills in the city was around 7500 and more. The number kept on increasing as the latest technology machines with higher capacity and lesser maintenance were introduced. The yarn and fibers thus are shipped off in greater quantities.
The sarees are available in all sorts ranging from cheap ones to the costly ones. The famous kanjeevaram sarees are manufactured and designed in Coimbatore. Other types of sarees like art silk sarees manufacturers in Coimbatore, georgette sarees, bridal sarees, party wear sarees, fancy designer sarees, jacquard sarees, plain sarees, Indian sarees, synthetic sarees, printed sarees embroidery work sarees are also available in Coimbatore. The suppliers of catalogue sarees, jute sarees in Coimbatore, silk sarees, nauvari sarees, paithani sarees, gujarati sarees, net sarees, baluchari sarees, silk cotton sarees, embroidery work sarees and chiffon sarees have claimed to have a smooth business by selling them to different retailers and store owners.
The city of Coimbatore is the one with lots of potential and the manufacturers, suppliers and wholesalers over here are in abundance. You can find more reports on "TEXTILE INFOMEDIA" for Wholesale market of Coimbatore. They are bound to increase and the business shall expand at unimaginable pace. The city stores all kinds of textile products and this in turn will boost the economy of the region by generating employment opportunities and creating investment opportunities for the potential investors over the city and across the nation.


June 9, 2009 (O'FALLON, Ill.) Strong winds and pounding rain moved through the community of O'Fallon. Trees and some power lines were toppled, and roofing was ripped off homes.
There were also reports of tornadoes downstate Monday.
About 3,300 Ameren customers remain without power after Monday night's storms.
The National Weather Service says it received three reports of tornadoes in St. Clair County and a fourth report from Calhoun County.
But officials say they won't know for sure until the surveys are completed.
Meteorologists say winds up to 65 mph and hail also hit Perry, Franklin and Williamson counties near the Kentucky border, uprooting trees, damaging buildings and toppling power lines.
