\section{Introduction--The Theorem}
Let $B = \{B_t\}_{t \geq 0}$ be a standard Brownian motion in $\mathbb{R}^1$. The distribution of $B_0$ can be arbitrary. We set
\begin{equation*}
M_r := \max_{0 \leq t \leq r} B_t,
\end{equation*}
where $r > 0$ is a fixed time. The object of this brief note is the calculation of the distribution of the random time
\begin{equation}
S := \inf\{t \geq r : B_t = M_r\} - r = \inf\{t \geq r : B_t > M_r\} - r
\label{B0}
\end{equation}
(obviously, $S + r$ is a stopping time for $B$).\\\\
\textbf{Theorem.} \textit{The distribution function of the random variable $S$ defined in (\ref{B0}) is}
\begin{equation}
F_S(s) := P\{S \leq s\} = \frac{2}{\pi} \arctan\left(\sqrt{\frac{s}{r}} \, \right),
\qquad
s \geq 0.
\label{B00}
\end{equation}
It is remarkable that $F_S(s)$ is an elementary function.
\section{A Lemma}
Suppose that $X > 0$ is a random variable and $W = \{W_t\}_{t \geq 0}$ is an one-dimensional Brownian motion
with $W_0 = 0$. The passage time of $W$ to the level $X$ is
\begin{equation}
T_X := \inf\{t \geq 0 : W_t = X\}.
\label{A1}
\end{equation}
We remind the reader that if $X$ is not random, say $X = x > 0$, then the reflection principle (see, e.g., \cite{K-S}) yields
\begin{equation}
P\{T_x \leq t\} = 2 P\{W_t \geq x\} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}} \int_{x / \sqrt{t}}^\infty \; e^{-\xi^2 / 2} \, d\xi,
\qquad
t > 0.
\label{B1}
\end{equation}
\textbf{Lemma.} \textit{If $X$ and $W$ are independent, then the density of $T_X$ is}
\begin{equation}
f_{T_X}(t) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi t^3}} \, E\left[ X e^{-X^2 / 2 t} \right],
\qquad
t > 0.
\label{B3}
\end{equation}
\textit{Proof}. For $t > 0$ we have
\begin{equation*}
P\{T_X \leq t\} = \int_0^\infty P\{T_X \leq t, X \in dx\} = \int_0^\infty P\{T_X \leq t \, |\, X = x\} \, dF_X(x)
\end{equation*}
\begin{equation*}
= \int_0^\infty P\{T_x \leq t \, |\, X = x\} \, dF_X(x) = \int_0^\infty P\{T_x \leq t\} \, dF_X(x),
\end{equation*}
where the last equality follows from the independence of $X$ and $W$. Thus, by invoking (\ref{B1})
\begin{equation}
P\{T_X \leq t\} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}} \int_0^\infty \left[\int_{x / \sqrt{t}}^\infty \; e^{-\xi^2 / 2} \, d\xi\right] dF_X(x),
\label{B2}
\end{equation}
from which (\ref{B3}) follows by differentiation with respect to $t$ (the passing of $d / dt$ inside the integral with respect to $x$
is justified by the fact that the quantity $x \exp(-x^2 / 2 t)$ is bounded in $x$, for any $t > 0$). \hfill $\blacksquare$\\\\
Before closing this short section it maybe worth noticing that, by applying integration by parts (or Tonelli) in the integral of (\ref{B2})
one obtains the formula
\begin{equation*}
P\{T_X \leq t\} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi t}} \int_0^\infty e^{-x^2 / 2 t} F_X(x) \, dx,
\qquad
t > 0,
\end{equation*}
where $F_X(x)$ is the distribution function of $X$.
\section{Proof of the Theorem}
As before, let $r$ be a given positive number. We set
\begin{equation}
X = M_r - B_r \qquad\qquad \text{and} \qquad\qquad W_t = B_{t + r} - B_r, \qquad t \geq 0.
\label{B4}
\end{equation}
Clearly, $X > 0$ a.s., $W = \{W_t\}_{t \geq 0}$ is a Brownian motion with $W_0 = 0$ and,
also, $W$ and $X$ are independent. Furthermore, as it was observed by P. L\'{e}vy (see, e.g., \cite{K-S}, p. 97), $X$
and $|B_r - B_0|$ have the same law and, therefore, the density of $X$ is
\begin{equation}
f_X(x) = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi r}} \, e^{-x^2 / 2 r},
\qquad
x > 0.
\label{B5}
\end{equation}
We are now ready to complete the proof of our result.\\\\
\textit{Proof of the theorem}. Observe that, in view of (\ref{A1}) the random time $S$ of (\ref{B0}) can be expressed as
\begin{equation*}
S = T_X,
\end{equation*}
where $X$ is given by (\ref{B4}). Thus, we can use (\ref{B3}) to obtain the density of $S$
\begin{equation*}
f_S(s) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi s^3}} \int_0^\infty x e^{-x^2 / 2 s} f_X(x) \, dx,
\qquad
s > 0,
\end{equation*}
where $f_X(x)$ is given by (\ref{B5}). It follows that
\begin{equation*}
f_S(s) = \frac{1}{\pi \sqrt{r s^3}} \int_0^\infty x e^{-x^2 / 2 s} e^{-x^2 / 2 r} \, dx
= \frac{\sqrt{r}}{\pi} \cdot \frac{1}{(s + r)\sqrt{s}} \, ,
\qquad
s > 0,
\end{equation*}
from which (\ref{B00}) follows immediately by integration with respect to $s$. \hfill $\blacksquare$\\\\
\textbf{Remark.} A remarkable consequence of the theorem is the following: For given $r_1$, $r_2$, with $0 \leq r_1 < r_2$, we set
\begin{equation*}
M_{[r_1, r_2]} := \max_{r_1 \leq t \leq r_2} B_t
\end{equation*}
and
\begin{equation*}
S_{[r_1, r_2]} := \inf\left\{t \geq r_2 : B_t = M_{[r_1, r_2]} \right\} - r_2.
\end{equation*}
Then,
\begin{equation*}
P\left\{S_{[r_1, r_2]} \leq s \right\} = \frac{2}{\pi} \arctan\left(\sqrt{\frac{s}{r_2 - r_1}} \, \right),
\qquad
s \geq 0.
\end{equation*}

Increasing processor efficiency by 'shutting off the lights'
Cambridge, Mass. – February 28, 2011 – There was a time when a laptop could weigh 10 pounds and still sell — a time when a cell phone was larger than a pocket — and a time when an iPod only played music.
Today's consumers expect mobile devices that are increasingly small, yet ever-more powerful. All the bells and whistles, however, suck up energy, and a phone that lasts only 4 hours because it's also a GPS device is only so much use.
To promote energy-efficient multitasking, Harvard graduate student Wonyoung Kim has developed and demonstrated a new device with the potential to reduce the power usage of modern processing chips.
The advance could allow the creation of "smarter" smartphones, slimmer laptops, and more energy-friendly data centers.
Kim's on-chip, multi-core voltage regulator (MCVR) addresses what amounts to a mismatch between power supply and demand.
"If you're listening to music on your MP3 player, you don't need to send power to the image and graphics processors at the same time," Kim says. "If you're just looking at photos, you don't need to power the audio processor or the HD video processor."
"It's like shutting off the lights when you leave the room."
Kim's research at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) showed in 2008 that fine-grain voltage control was a theoretical possibility. This month, he presented a paper at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) showing that the MCVR could actually be implemented in hardware.
Essentially a DC-DC converter, the MCVR can take a 2.4-volt input and scale it down to voltages ranging from 0.4 to 1.4V. Built for speed, it can increase or decrease the output by 1V in under 20 nanoseconds.
The MCVR also uses an algorithm to recognize parts of the processor that are not in use and cuts power to them, saving energy. Kim says it results in a longer battery life (or, in the case of stationary data centers, lower energy bills), while providing the same performance.
The on-chip design means that the power supply can be managed not just for each processor chip, but for each individual core on the chip. The short distance that signals then have to travel between the voltage regulator and the cores allows power scaling to happen quickly — in a matter of nanoseconds rather than microseconds — further improving efficiency.
Kim has obtained a provisional patent for the MCVR with his Ph.D. co-advisers at SEAS, Gu-Yeon Wei, Gordon McKay Professor of Electrical Engineering, and David Brooks, Gordon McKay Professor of Computer Science, who are coauthors on the paper he presented this week.
"Wonyoung Kim's research takes an important step towards a higher level of integration for future chips," says Wei. "Systems today rely on off-chip, board-level voltage regulators that are bulky and slow. Integrating the voltage regulator along with the IC chip to which it supplies power not only reduces broad-level size and cost, but also opens up exciting opportunities to improve energy efficiency."
"Kim's three-level design overcomes issues that hamper traditional buck and switch-capacitor converters by merging good attributes of both into a single structure," adds Brooks. "We believe research on integrated voltage regulators like Kim's will be an essential component of future computing devices where energy-efficient performance and low cost are in demand."
Although Kim estimates that the greatest demand for the MCVR right now could be in the market for mobile phones, the device would also have applications in other computing scenarios. Used in laptops, the MCVR might reduce the heat output of the processor, which is currently one barrier to making slimmer notebooks. In stationary scenarios, the rising cost of powering servers of ever-increasing speed and capacity could be reduced.
"This is a plug-and-play device in the sense that it can be easily incorporated into the design of processor chips," says Kim. "Including the MCVR on a chip would add about 10 percent to the manufacturing cost, but with the potential for 20 percent or more in power savings."
The research was supported by the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems and Division of Computing and Communication Foundations.

"Nicole did a great job for our wedding .....even working long into the evening to capture the drunken end of the night shots too!!!!
Plus she has a very calming personality which helped flush out the last minute nerves.
Originally from Germany, my passion for photography has developed during my teenage years and has now allowed me to work as a wedding photographer for the past few years. I'm based in London, but love to travel (who doesn't?). I would describe my style as relaxed, fun, vibrant, candid and memorable. I love capturing people's emotions and essence, enabling them to look back at their wedding photos and still remember what they felt in that exact moment.
Besides weddings, I'm also experienced in portrait and event photography, having covered events, such as awards shows, family parties & corporate events in the UK as well as New York, Amsterdam and Germany. I believe these experiences definitely enhanced my skills as a wedding photographer.

EAC Railway: A Microcosm of China's Foreign Policy towards Africa
By Kevin Gilmartin
On May 11 China's Prime Minister Li Keqiang formally signed a deal with a number of East African leaders for the Export Import Bank of China to finance the first stage of a modern railway network that would connect the major cities of the East African Community (EAC)—Bujumbura, Juba, Kampala, Nairobi and Kigali—with the coast. The initial segment will provide a rail link between the region's major economic hub, Nairobi, and the port city of Mombasa. These 610 kilometers of track are expected to cost $3.8 billion, 90 percent of which will be funded by the Export Import Bank and 10 percent by the Kenyan government. Construction is expected to begin in October 2014 and finish in 2017. China's state-owned construction firm, China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), will be the principal contractor.
Two Years after Ghana Judge, US Supreme Court Rules against Argentina
By Kelsey Lilley
Earlier this week, Argentine stocks plummeted after the US Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal from the Argentine government in an epic court battle with angry investors. The case pitted Argentina against US-based investors, both big and small, who lost fortunes during the South American country's 2001-2002 economic implosion when it defaulted on its bonds—a total loss of nearly $100 billion. Among other holdouts, the New York-based hedge fund NML Capital Limited refused a restructuring of bonds it held and instead sought legal redress for the almost $1.3 billion face value of the IOUs it held. The Supreme Court's ruling backs up a Ghanaian court which, two years earlier, concluded that Argentina should pay back its creditors.

Atlantic Council's J. Peter Pham Tells Congress a Broader Nigerian and International Response is Needed
Nigeria's Boko Haram militant movement has grown increasingly virulent since 2009, a change visible in the group's capacity, tactics and ideology, according to J. Peter Pham, director of the Africa Center at the Atlantic Council.
Pham testified before the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations on June 11, nearly two months after Boko Haram's brazen abduction of nearly 300 schoolgirls from the northeastern Nigerian town of Chibok.

Let freedom ring! It's the 4th of July here in America and we are getting ready for a festive day with friends, family and fireworks! Many of my customers are in, or have close family members in the service. I would like to take a moment to say Thank You to all of our men & women actively serving in the military, and to our veterans.
I love Stampin' Up!'s patriotic stamp sets, The Free & the Brave has been one of my favorites. I was really sad when it retired in June. I used it one last time at my June stamp club class. When I got my first peak at my new catalog, and saw the new stamp set Courage, I was over the moon! I may even love Courage more. Kudos SU for wowing me yet again!
This first card is a re-creation of our stamp club card with the retired set, and it uses the brand new Courage stamp set and the Hero jumbo wheel for the background. The second card is the original.
Love the second card. Really a nice set of stamps to help us remember the freedom we have and those who have fought for it.
I want to get together with my friends and make cards to send to the Troops.. what an inspiration !!

ABC pulls Backstreet Boys holiday special following Nick Carter rape allegations and lawsuit
By Emily Longeretta
TCA Variety
AJ McLean, from left, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, and Howie Dorough of The Backstreet Boys appear at the 61st annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 10, 2019. (Jordan Strauss/Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)
"A Very Backstreet Holiday," the Backstreet Boys' Christmas special filmed this month in Los Angeles, will no longer air on ABC, Variety has confirmed. The news comes amid allegations that singer Nick Carter raped a 17-year-old girl during the band's 2001 tour.
The special was set to air on ABC on Dec. 14, featuring Carter, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough as they celebrate the season and perform hits from their 10th album "A Very Backstreet Christmas." Seth Rogen, Meghan Trainor, Rob Riggle, Nikki Glaser, Ron Funches and Atsuko Okatsuka were scheduled to appear.
On Thursday, a 39-year-old woman, Shannon "Shay" Ruth, filed a sexual battery lawsuit accusing the singer of raping her and infecting her with HPV when she was 17. She alleged the assault took place in February 2001 following a Backstreet Boys concert in Tacoma, Wash. Ruth, who identified herself as autistic and living with cerebral palsy, detailed the alleged assault along with her attorneys during a press conference held at Los Angeles' Beverly Hilton hotel.
During the press conference and in the lawsuit, she claimed that Carter, 21 at the time, forced himself on her as she "begged him to stop," and later allegedly told her that she was a "retarded little bitch" who no one would believe if she spoke up.
Carter has denied the allegations.
"This claim about an incident that supposedly took place more than 20 years ago is not only legally meritless but also entirely untrue," Carter's attorney, Michael Holtz, said in a statement to Variety. "Unfortunately, for several years now, Ms. Ruth has been manipulated into making false allegations about Nick - and those allegations have changed repeatedly and materially over time. No one should be fooled by a press stunt orchestrated by an opportunistic lawyer - there is nothing to this claim whatsoever, which we have no doubt the courts will quickly realize."


The thread I threatened to make months ago is finally here. Rejoice.
So to start things off, there's the NX Edge line, which are basically more leggy SD-style figures, with extra copious panel lines and a relatively low price point. I haven't been too into these, since to me their selection hasn't been that interesting or they otherwise end up looking weird, like the extra lines looking a bit off to me (as with their Mazinkaiser) or the legginess making the figures look more like normal size robots with stupidly big heads (apparent with their Red Frame). Not bad, per se, but eh, not for me.
Zeta Gundam hasn't had a big SD release in quite some time (g/j ex standard), the proportions actually work pretty well with Zeta's design, and the panel lines aren't bad either.
There's also an EVA Unit 01 on the way, which hasn't had an SD release, errr, possibly ever, and is looking pretty good too.
I think that's "chibi", rather than "SD".
So you might be familiar with the FW Gundam Converge line, which doesn't bear the SD name but is basically very close to it. They're static figures, among those fee-evading "candy toys" by throwing in a little thing of gum. I don't feel it's worth it to get an expensive box which'll have a bunch of dupes anyway, but thanks to them showing up at Barnes & Nobles and con dealers, they're more palatable individually like they're supposed to be, so I have a few. B&Ns near me seem to have dried up on them though, and they tend to be a bit overpriced with dealers, so I haven't exactly gone nuts.
I wasn't all that hot on them at first due to the same reasons in the first post (too leggy = almost look more like normal size with oversized head), but they do actually look better in person.
Indeed, it almost feels a bit strange seeing these again - it's how SDs were for the longest time, and as mentioned before I think too much leg tends to make them look worse, but I'm so used to having something there now. However, that's not really a problem, and this is pretty cool. The price point is lower too.
At some point in the late 2000s/early 2010s, Bandai Asia brought back the 2003 era SD Gundam figures which were (as far as I know) originally made for the US market. These were SD action figures under the "Superior Defender" line, but they were not characters in the CGI series and lacked the googly eyes. Some of them have light up eyes using a button on the back of the head. A few came out in Japan under the SD Archive name, but not many. For the Asian rebranding, they were marketed as SD Gundam Capsule Fighter Online figures, until the game shut down, after which it seems the line continued simply with a generic SD theme. The Capsule Fighter logo was in the upper left corner, sometimes with a sticker over it with the logo/URL for that region's version (like Taiwan in the pictured one). They might also lack the light up eyes on the few that had them.
Eventually they actually made some new ones, including Unicorn Gundam, Strike Gundam, and 00 Gundam. There was also the Gundam Mk-II and a deluxe set to make the Super Gundam. This I know from their little stamp sized still-using-Flash website.
...thing is, it seems they made EVEN MORE after that, which that site doesn't reference and somehow I had trouble confirming even existed for a while.
-Have any of you seen these around in stores where you live?
-Is this line still going? Near as I can tell the ZZ Gundam was announced in 2014 and came out some time after that.
-Anyone know of maybe a decent way of buying these online? Since they're officially called "SD Gundam Action Figure", you can imagine what a pain it is to search for them. I've found some on eBay at fair prices, but others go at what appears to be full blown rip off mark ups. I can't find a couple versions at all. But again, I don't know how old some of these actually are.
-Poor plastic color separation, so a high amount of stickers necessary for a decent unpainted kit - even for simpler designs.
They had some decent sculpts and the upside was greater articulation, but frankly the downsides aren't really worth it - especially since, again, with Bandai keeping their old, old kits in circulation, you could just get a better one. What was the point?
So the way this new line works is, you can get a base kit at the low price, around 600 yen once again, but it has legit color separation, better accessories, etc. This is all on an SD inner frame. However, if you want the bigger size and higher articulation the previous kits offered, you can actually buy a so-called CS inner frame separately - so either way you get a nice, detailed kit. Not only that, the line up consists of a bunch of units that haven't had an SD kit in a long time, if ever: Crossbone Gundam X1, Nightingale, Zeta Gundam (ha!), Zaku II (believe it or not!)...it's like they really did listen to every single complaint I saw out there from everybody. Pretty awesome.
Since they're just coming out, I suppose it remains to be seen if there's something terribly wrong with them, but this is all very promising.
Moderoid is a fairly recent model kit line started by Good Smile, starting with a Mazinkaiser actually based on a sculpt from a more expensive figure (and they made two more variants based on it). Now it seems they're doing SD ones, with Gurren Lagann.
People thought this was a Nendoroid at first, since the earliest image showed him with the Nendoroid Simon, but apparently this kit includes a part for use with that figure.
It is a fair bit more expensive than your typical 500 to 1500 yen SD Gundam kit, so I'll probably wait for reviews and see how it scales with other figures, but I'm interested.
Hoping the Cross Sihouette line stays around for a while. I just built an RX-78 a few days ago and found it quite enjoyable.
Speaking of SD-style robot figures, may I bring up the BB Senshi, the longest running Gundam model kit (Gunpla) line? The releases for it included SD versions of mecha in the main franchise, but mostly focused on original characters whose designs were based off said mecha.
Good lord, it's like a return to the good old days of G Generation kits having all kinds of obscure crap. I don't miss you, EX Standard!

The Type B submarines were derived from the earlier KD6 sub-class of the  and were equipped with an aircraft to enhance their scouting ability. They displaced  surfaced and  submerged. The submarines were  long, had a beam of  and a draft of . They had a diving depth of .

For surface running, the boats were powered by two  diesel engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a  electric motor. They could reach  on the surface and  underwater. On the surface, the B1s had a range of  at ; submerged, they had a range of  at .

The boats were armed with six internal bow  torpedo tubes and carried a total of 17 torpedoes. They were also armed with a single /40 deck gun and two single mounts for  Type 96 anti-aircraft guns. In the Type Bs, the aircraft hangar was faired into the base of the conning tower. A single catapult was positioned on the forward deck.

Career
In November 1942, I-31 was spotted doing reconnaissance with its seaplane off Suva, Fiji.

On 12 May 1943 I-31 attacked the USS Pennsylvania and the USS Santa Fe (CL-60) with torpedoes nine miles northeast of Holtz Bay, all missed.
On 12 May 1943, near Holtz Bay, Attu, her periscope was sighted by American destroyers,  and , who immediately opened fire. I-31 dove quickly but not before Edwards scored hits. The destroyers quickly made sonar contact and began a series of depth charge attacks until, after surviving for 10 hours, she was sunk by Frazier on 13 May.

Today's global juice industry is more dynamic than ever. From traditional fruit juice to vegetables and herbs, the opportunities opening up are huge as consumers seek tasty, healthy and natural juice options. And driven by creativity, innovation and a more nuanced understanding of developed and emerging markets, companies are responding.
I'm excited to share some key findings from our latest Tetra Pak Index, which for the first time is focused entirely on juice. While the overall results focus on the global 100 percent juice category, the data offers some compelling opportunities for companies in the United States and Canada looking to take their 100 percent juice game to the next level.
Overall, the U.S. is by far the biggest market we examined in the Juice Index, with 6.7 billion liters of 100 percent juice consumed in 2015 – more than the next five markets combined.
While our Juice Index found that more than half of all Americans (55 percent) drink some type of 100 percent juice at breakfast, one particular juice is not squeezing out profits like it once did: orange juice.
OJ consumption in the U.S. continues to plummet for a variety of reasons, including an overall decline in fruit consumption, and consumers' health concerns about sugar content resulting from more transparency in labeling. In the past four years, orange juice sales have fallen 13 percent, according to Nielsen. Juice companies finding themselves losing market share due to sugar concerns can consider underscoring that any sugar content is naturally occurring and extoling the health benefits of 100 percent juice on their labels.
Fortunately, other drinks to start consumers' days are filling the gap and actually have room to grow, such as by providing more convenient, single-serve re-sealable packs. And other trends like juicing raw fruits and vegetables have meant alternative juices and smoothies are seeing relative success.
A shift in breakfast eating habits among consumers who increasingly have a preference for more on-the-go options, like ready-to-drink breakfast meals and high-protein drinks, is another key finding. Analyst firm The NPD Group expects "breakfast occasions" – a time to eat breakfasts and morning snacks either in or away from home – will grow by five percent through 2019.
The strongest growth in 100 percent juice is at the highest end on the market. We found that consumers are prepared to pay more for natural products that promote good health. As part of our research for the Juice Index, we discovered that many consumers are willing to spend a premium on natural, less processed juice – particularly if it meets their health and wellness needs.
Consider this: the premium 100 percent juice segment now starts at $7 per liter. While this could present brands with a compelling opportunity to capture higher profit margins, higher cost of premium ingredients could impact the bottom line.
Several market trends support this conclusion. As detailed in our Juice Index, not from concentrate (NFC) is gaining share from reconstituted, up from 25.6 percent in 2009 to 28.9 percent in 2015, according to Euromonitor. Global average prices per liter for reconstituted juice, meanwhile declined by 0.3 percent, while NFC prices grew at one percent.
Heralded by the incredible success of coconut water, new segments, recipes and brands are keeping 100 percent juice options at the fore of innovation with consumers. With coconut water now mainstream, what's next in 100 percent juice?
Our Juice Index found that while orange (46 percent) and apple (17 percent) juices still dominate the market, sales are declining. Things like mixed fruit (six percent) and mixed vegetable juices (four percent), meanwhile, have risen to become the fourth and fifth most popular 100 percent juices among consumers, suggesting that new and unique flavor combinations are important components of juice's continued trajectory of success.
Already, we're seeing an array of new plant-based products that like coconut are refreshing, hydrating and naturally low in sugar. These include maple, birch and bamboo waters.
Just these few highlights alone point to some powerful conclusions and compelling opportunities in the 100 percent juice category.
I encourage you to check out the full report for full details. It shows that consumers overwhelmingly see 100 percent juice as tasty (85 percent), natural (81 percent) and healthy (81 percent). These results are based on a survey of 7,000 users in seven of our key markets, including Brazil, China, Germany, and the United States.
Given these incredible metrics, developing flavorful, natural and healthy 100 percent juices presents some powerful opportunities. Shifting trends such as the growing popularity of on-the-go breakfast eating suggests more juice products featuring convenient, single-serve re-sealable packs could have widespread consumer appeal.
It's also clear that some consumers are willing to pay a premium for juice that can deliver functional benefits like health and natural ingredients, which could offer companies a revenue boost if they can deliver value-added juices with functional benefits or juices that are not clarified at a higher price.
Stay tuned for part two of our series featuring key insights from Tetra Pak's Juice Index report.

falling down (on the job)
Jan. 9th, 2006 at 11:33 AM
Gahan Wilson has written a very nice review of To Charles Fort, With Love for the February issue of Realms of Fantasy. Definitely the highpoint of my 2006, thus far. I was especially pleased with this paragraph: Both Kiernan and an observer no less astute than Ramsey Campbell in his afterword flatly state that the best work in To Charles Fort, With Love is "La Peau Verte," and I absolutely go along with that. It's not only one of the best and loveliest written scary stories I've ever read, it's also a cautionary tale which I would earnestly recommend to any brave young soul presently toying with the notion of becoming seriously involved with the artistic life read and ponder on—just in case they might have second thoughts. It's always best to have at least a dim glimmer of what you're getting into.
Otherwise, yesterday was a total washout. I'm not sure what went wrong. But it did. I lost control of myself and the day. And there are too few days and too much work to allow myself to get away with crap like that. I need to have Sirenia Digest #2 written and laid out by this coming Sunday, the 15th. I have to proof Daughter of Hounds, and I have precious little time remaining in which to get it done. I have to make a few more tweaks to "Bainbridge" and read through the rest of the Dancy stories. It looks like I'm going to let Anita write the afterword for Alabaster after all, because gods know I don't have time to do it. And yeah, had I not squandered two months this fall on Bullet Girl, I wouldn't be in this fix, but opportunity at the door and all that. Regardless, I cannot now allow myself to frell off on days when I absolutely do not feel like being stuck at this keyboard all damn day long. Like today. It's actually warmish out, and Spooky and I could go for a walk somewhere interesting. The day is a lure, dangling bright before my eyes, and I'm a fish that has to remember there's a nasty big hook behind all that sparkle. Work, you damn fool. No excuses. No, not even that. Nor that either. No means no. So...today, I have to sign eBay books, tweak "Bainbridge," and read through "The Well of Stars and Shadow" and "Alabaster" (the post-chapbook, 2.0 version of the short story). And other things I'll not want to do that will crop up along the way.
After we dropped by B&N yesterday afternoon to get the review, Spooky and I had coffee out (something we virtually never do these days, as one cannot waste a small fortune on overpriced coffee delicacies when one is scrimping and saving to move to New England). As we sat in the coffeehouse, I tried to talk through all the crap that had led to my blowing another day I can't spare. We got some Thai food on the way home. We watched The Transporter again, because Spooky hadn't seen it and I wanted to see it again because the sequel comes out on DVD this week. And I needed a good BDAF (Big Dumb Action Film) after The Cave. Actually, I've thought of a couple of other things about The Cave that didn't suck. Cole Hauser's contact lenses. Those were awesome (and we see them on Piper Perabo at the end of the film — or maybe that was Lena Headey; it's hard to be sure, so interchangeable were the characters). And there was the scene where either Charlie or Kathryn (again, interchangeable) attempts to scale a steep cave wall and is attacked by one of the creatures, which appears to try to rape her. That was about as close as the film came to a visually stunning, suspenseful scene. Yes, I am grasping at straws. Anyway, last night, after the movie, we read more Harry Potter. I think we've reached Chapter Nine.
Okay. Time to make the doughnuts. I have to try and atone for yesterday...

tcfwl,
It's not only one of the best and loveliest written scary stories I've ever read, it's also a cautionary tale which I would earnestly recommend to any brave young soul presently toying with the notion of becoming seriously involved with the artistic life
i feel for you in regards to what you've been going through. one can only hope it will get better. (i'm not usually this optimistic, trust me.) but i do wish you well.
and speaking of dougnuts: could you maybe give a rough publishing timeline in regards to your work? i would like to know what we have to look forward to next.
thanks and all the best!
could you maybe give a rough publishing timeline in regards to your work? i would like to know what we have to look forward to next.
Subject to change, but:
Alabaster (mid 2006)
next (as yet untitled) erotica volume (mid 2006?)
next sf novella from subpress (late 2006)
Daughter of Hounds (early 2007, probably)
Argh! This is frustrating because even now these dates seem too distant, and yet I feel these estimates are still conservative. I think my bones are aching for DoH's release. Let your publisher know that.
Thanks for the update regardless, it gives me an idea when to leave some flex in my disposable monthly income. Just so you know the accolades are not falling on deaf ears, TCFWL is on the top of my list for future buys. Actually, that might happen today or tomorrow. I'll have to see where my personal platypus is situated for clear heels and microskirts.
Speaking of movies, I think I followed an old suggestion of yours and checked out Ravenous this weekend. It took me a while to get into it (the rather ususual score is a barrier to approaching the film seriously, the fact that the barrier appears intentional made it all the more interesting), but I will definitely recommend it to others.
This is frustrating because even now these dates seem too distant, and yet I feel these estimates are still conservative.
Conservative and a little hesitant. Hopefully, I'll know more about Daughter of Hounds release date sometime next month. No one's going to tell me anything for certain until Roc has the ms.

I really ought to see that again, now that you mention it.

I was going to comment a few posts back, when you had initially mentioned moving to the Marblehead/Salem area, but was unable to at that point.
I don't know if you're still debating the merits of each city, but I must say, I spent a good deal of my childhood in Marblehead and absolutely love the city. Though currently in Florida, I'll be moving back up north around August, so I gladly get to rediscover the area as an adult.
So this was vaguely pointless, but I also thought I'd put in a "best wishes" and comment on the nice choice of location.
Oh, and I'm with you on the scrimping and saving and missing of overpriced coffee drinks.
I don't know if you're still debating the merits of each city
We are leaning strongly towards Salem at this point.
It wasn't too much of an issue until all these places started with these crazy white chocolate mocha things. Argh!
sisyphusiren
That's an awesomely obscure reference in your icon.
Thank you. I do try.
It was my understanding that The Cave was a bad ripoff of The Descent. Since I loved The Descent on every level possible, I didn't bother seeing The Cave. Why other, right?
Hmmm. Have I even seen The Descent? Wait...[checks imdb]...no, I haven't. I'm not sure I even knew about it. Is it out on DVD?
so if you have cross-platform equipment you could get a copy from here. Do see it, I think you'll like it.
I don't have anything cross-platform. I shall just have to wait.
mcdolemite
I rather disliked The Transporter 2, but share your fondness for the first one. Apparently The Cave kept the British film The Descent from getting a US theatrical release, but it's supposedly much better -- it's from the director of Dog Soldiers, but rather than a bunch of Brit soldiers (including Rome's Kevin McKidd) in the Scots highlands running into lycranthropes, it has a group of female spelunkers being stalked by cave monsters. I don't have a Netflix subscription, but I _think_ it's available from them.

I really didn't like Dog Soldiers, but I'll give anything about monsters in caves a try. I can probably find it around here.

Luci Fulvi Plaucià (en llatí Lucius Fulvius Plaucianus) va ser un ministre imperial, africà de naixement i probablement emparentat amb l'emperador Septimi Sever, amb el que va servir com a prefecte del pretori, i que li va concedir honors i riquesa.

L'emperador li va permetre decidir diversos punts de la política oficial, i sempre li va concedir tot allò que demanava. Animat per aquestes concessions, Plaucià es va convertir en un tirà despòtic. Es diu que cada granger, cada ciutat i cada província va patir les seves exaccions, i als que se li van oposar els va condemnar a desterrament o a mort. A Roma va saquejar totes les riqueses que la seva avarícia desitjava, va condemnar a l'exili o a mort a tots els que s'oposaven a les seves intencions, i va tractar amb contundència fins i tot a l'emperadriu Júlia Domna i als seus fills.

Va arribar a la cimera de les seves ambicions l'any 202 quan la seva filla Fúlvia Plautil·la va ser escollida com a muller de l'hereu Caracal·la. Un historiador contemporani diu que el vestuari que tenia Fúlvia hauria bastat per vestir cinquanta reines. Però la satisfacció de les seves ambicions no van fer feliç a Fulvi. Va començar a aparèixer malalt, groc i amb espasmes nerviosos, que Dió Cassi, contemporani seu, atribueix a irregularitats a la seva dieta i en part als terrors que el turmentaven fruit de les seves crueltats.

Quan es va assabentar que Caracal·la volia eliminar tant a la seva filla com a ell mateix, va decidir avançar-se i eliminar el seu gendre, però el pla va ser descobert, va ser cridat al Palau i va ser condemnat i executat l'any 203. Se li van confiscar les propietats i les riqueses, el seu nom va ser esborrat de tots els monuments públics i la seva filla va ser enviada a l'exili. Dió Cassi dubta de què Fulvi planegés una conspiració, i que la major part de les acusacions van ser fabricades per Caracal·la que volia eliminar un favorit massa ambiciós.

A layup from Wilmington University women's basketball freshman Ebonee Dixon with 13:46 remaining in regulation brought the Wildcats to within one, but Lincoln University (Pa.) went on a 15-1 run to carry them to a 76-66 victory on Thursday night at the WU Athletics Complex.
The Wildcats (0-3) fell in their season opener after going into the halftime break with a 39-39 tie. It was a 3:36 stretch in the middle of the second half in which the Lions (3-0) separated themselves from the Wildcats for the victory.
Jennifer Carr gave the Wildcats a 41-39 lead immediately after the halftime break after putting home an offensive rebound but the Lions came back and scored the next two buckers and five straight points to take a 44-41 lead and never look back.
Dixon made a move on the baseline with 14:11 to play to score a bucket to bring the Wildcats to within 44-43, but the Lions came right back and scored on a Zephrah Pam layup at the other end. Dixon again got in the paint for a second straight layup for the Wildcats, again bringing them to within a single point. But that would be the last bucket the Wildcats would receive in a span of 5:14 on the scoreboard.
The Lions would go on a 15-1 run, getting baskets from Pam, Lisa Saunders, and six foul shots from Teira Pendleton. Tashea Plummer ended the run with a layup with 8:32 showing on the scoreboard.
Taylor Carter cut the deficit to 10 with a three-pointer with 7:26 to play but the Wildcats missed a few key opportunities on the offensive end to cut any closer after earning big stops defensively over the next two minutes.
A pair of free throws from Katara Pressley brought the deficit to 64-55 with 4:48 to play, but the Lions held the Wildcats at bay, extending the lead back out to 12 points a couple more times. A Cari Callaway layup brought the Wildcats to within eight with 46 seconds to play, but it was too little too late for the home team.
Tenicia Spence paced the Wildcats with 21 points, shooting 7-of-18 from the floor and 5-of-6 from the foul line for the game. Callaway scored 10 points on 5-of-12 shooting from the floor. Dixon chipped in with nine points off the bench, shooting 3-for-5 from the floor and 3-for-6 from the foul line.
The match was won at the foul line on Thursday night, as the Lions went 30-for-36 from the charity stripe while the Wildcats shot 18-of-24.
Wilmington forced 23 turnovers with 12 steals, led by Spence's game high five thefts. Spence also led the team with four assists. Jennifer Carr and Taylor Carter led the rebounding effort for the Wildcats with five each, but the Lions out-rebounded the Wildcats, 60-37, for the game.
The Wildcats return to action on Saturday as they head to Mercy College for another nonconference contest. The opening tip is scheduled for 4 p.m. in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.


We're heralding a new age in gaming immersion by taking it beyond audio and visuals—now you can feel every battle. Razer HyperSense is an intelligent haptics ecosystem that interconnects different gaming devices to create rich and dynamic tactile feedback for a high-fidelity haptics gaming experience. These peripherals pick up key sound cues in games, from the crackle of gunfire to the shockwave of a blast, and replicate the sensations of these events to make you feel as if you're in the battlefield itself.
Traditionally, gaming immersion is limited to high-definition visuals and accurate sound. With Razer HyperSense, we are now engaging the sense of touch in gaming through haptic technology that's capable of reproducing natural and lifelike vibrations that allow you to feel the virtual world.
Razer HyperSense can draw input from accurate positional audio or specific sound cues to translate events like the impact of a hammer, firing of a rocket launcher, or blowing of a gust of wind, into haptic feedback across different peripherals. This allows a gamer to feel the gameplay dynamically based on the direction that these events are occurring.
Razer HyperSense brings any game to life through lifelike haptic feedback. Feel the rumbling of the wind when you jump off an airplane, the blast of a jetpack right on your back, and the power of a magnum in your hand. Experience the adrenaline rush as you feel the intensity of your game.
"Razer HyperSense has tons of potential to increase immersion in gaming, I recently tried the Razer Nari Ultimate, and the added layer of tactile feedback to positional sound made me feel even more engaged and aware of my surroundings. I can't wait to try an entire ecosystem of haptic enabled devices working together to bring to life the world and action of video games." - Tim Willits, Studio Director at id Software.
The first experience of Razer HyperSense has already been iterated in the Razer Nari Ultimate. Experience it today.

While it may not be the quietest choice, the metal scoop tends to be much more durable and will bend instead of breaking.

Музей искусств Грузии (, сак'арт'велос хеловнебис музеуми) официально известный как «Музей изобразительных искусств им. Шалва Амиранашвили» (, Шалва Амиранашвилис сахелобис хеловнебис музеуми) — является одним из наиболее важных музеев в Грузии. Он расположен на улице Ладо Гудиашвили, 1 — вблизи Площади Свободы (Тависуплебис Моедани) в Тбилиси, в собрании около 140000 единиц хранения произведений грузинского, восточного, русского и европейского искусства.

История
Предшественница современного музея Музея искусств — Национальная художественная галерея — была создана благодаря усилиям образованных молодых грузинских художников в Тифлисе 1 февраля 1920 года. Из этого проекта вырос Центральный музей изобразительных искусств, который был открыт в августе 1923 года. Дополнительные экспонаты были получены из различных мелких коллекций. В конце 1932 года музей был переведён в церковь XIII в районе Метехи.

В 1945 году после специального соглашения между Советским и французским правительством многочисленные произведения искусства, составляющие национальное сокровище Грузии — рукописи, изделия из металла, ювелирные изделия, эмали, живопись — эвакуированные грузинским правительством в изгнании после вторжения в 1921 году Красной Армии и сохранённые в эмиграции Эквтиме Такаишвили — были возвращены в Тбилиси и добавились к музейной коллекции.

Видный грузинский искусствовед Шалва Амиранашвили (в честь которого назван музей), был руководителем музея в течение более тридцати лет и сыграл важную роль в формировании коллекции.

В 1950 году музей стал официально называться Музей искусств Грузии. Тогда же он переехал в здание, которое занимает по сей день — построенное в 1838 году в классическом стиле здание Тифлисской духовной семинарии.

В конце 2004 года музей искусств Грузии вошёл в единую систему управления вместе с рядом других музеев, образовавших Грузинский национальный музей.

Коллекция
Просторные залы музея стали домом для постоянной коллекции, состоящей из собраний грузинского, восточного, русского и европейского искусства.

Наиболее важной и большой частью музейной коллекции, является собрание грузинского искусства, иллюстрирующие развитие национальной художественной культуры на протяжении многих веков с древних времён и до наших дней. Второе по величине собрание — восточное, наиболее значимая его часть — это собрание художественных произведений Каджарского периода. Оно включает в себя несколько миниатюр персидских придворных художников — портреты красавиц, шахов и дворян.

Музей часто проводит временные выставки в других музеях Грузии и за рубежом.

Saint Joseph's Dream is a 1600-1650 oil on canvas painting by Guercino, now in the Royal Palace of Naples.

History
It may be a pendant to Jerome, also now in the Palace. It was moved from Parma to Naples with the rest of the Farnese collection in 1734 when the Kingdom of Naples was inherited by Charles of Bourbon. It was recorded in an inventory of the Palace's collections in 1874 but later fell into obscurity.

Probably most of your Christmas candy is just a memory on your lips (and maybe still on your hips!) but with Valentine's Day just around the corner, it is time to order more. Wouldn't Ruth's Toffee be just the thing you need for that someone special in your life, or just to treat yourself?
It still is not too late to order and get something from Ruth's Toffee in time for Valentine's Day. We usually ship by USPS and although we make it a practice to never guarantee the performance of the postal service, our experience has shown that their Priority Mail service can get our candy from here in the mountains of Western Colorado to the farthest corners of the continental US within 3-4 days. Delivery is even faster if you don't live in the farthest corners.
As a special, I want to offer a 10% discount on any candy ordered between now and Valentine's Day. Just order anything on the web and then use "Ten" as a discount code when you check out. Your discount will be automatically taken off your order. We also still have the free shipping offer for any order more than $70 shi pped to one address, so if your order reaches this amount, you will also get free shipping.
My final Valentine's offer is toffee in a beautiful bright red Valentine's Greetings box, as shown here. You get 10 oz. of toffee (your choice of milk or dark covered chocolate), the cheerful and colorful Valentine's Greetings box, and Priority Mail shipping to anywhere in the US for a total price of $20. This offer is not available on the website so if you want to take advantage of this, send me an email (ruth@ruthstoffee.com) or call (800-699-6199) with names and addresses of who all you want to treat with this colorful box of toffee. There is no limit on how many you can order — just be sure to send me your contact information so I can call you if I have questions and for payment information.
Have a sweet Valentine's Day and remember — Don't be Ruthless on this special day!
Sign up here and be notified about new products, sales and events!
Just wanted to say thanks for the toffee! We received some from another client but it wasn't anywhere close to what you guys give me 🙂 Absolutely love Ruth's…in fact I don't share it with anyone!
My sister-in-law sent us truffles and toffee for Christmas! They were the best I have ever had and I have been all over the world. Thank you! Will keep you in mind for gifts in the future.
Best toffee we ever had – I'm hooked! Thank you!
I just got home from Aspen and had purchased your toffee at the Farmer's Market. I am a toffee-aholic! My husband sort of likes it. I buy it wherever I am. He hardly ever eats it. We fought over the last pieces! Yours is the best! I am placing an order immediately! THANKS!
I have not eaten a sample of every type of toffee, obviously, but I simply cannot imagine another brand which would outmatch yours. Thank you; if you ever need a spokesman for your product I'll be happy to do the job.
You, your company & products are wonderful! Many thanks for this expedited handling of our orders. Happy holidays to you and many thanks.
I received a box of your toffee for Christmas and just wanted to let you know how much I loved it! Wonderful toffee!!!!!! I have bookmarked your website for future gift giving. 🙂 Thank you again, and Happy New Year to you and your company!
OK,I admit it. I licked the crumbs off the plate — and I bet I'm not the only one to have ever done that. Toffee is great. We had the almond toffee. Best regards for a happy holiday season to everyone at Ruth's Toffee.
Hands down, this is the best toffee I've ever had. It is buttery soft, fresh and arrived well packed to avoid breakage. Absolutely wonderful, and I will purchase again. I recently purchased a pound of your dark chocolate Almond Toffee. It's the most delicious I have ever eaten! It's substantial, decadent and totally satisfying! I will be purchasing this and other products you make. Thanks for making such wonderful sweets!

This ring is inspired by the bird nest ring which i still have no idea how its made. Instead, i played around with the wire a bit but only managed to come up with this simple ring. Basically, i coiled the wire round and round the stone a few times and wrap around the shank to secure. I am quite happy with the outcome though, as it looks clean and simple on my finger compared to the twice around the world ring i made earlier. Am wearing it now.
great ring and it is a birds nest ring.

Q: SQL Server: regex search capture group count I'm currently working on a search method in C# for a SQL Server database.

The regex:
/(a)|(b)|(c)|(d)/g
a, b, c & d are the search keywords.

The string that  I apply the regex to:
a fdh eidb
Consists of random words(represented as letters) and some of the keywords from above.

Expected output:
3 keywords matches.

But how does a SQL query for SQL Server look like that returns a table with a Matches column with the keyword match count for each row?

I know how to do this in C# but I want to do it in the search query itself so I can sort the output.

Thanks for any help towards the right direction :)

A: I don't think there is a way to do regular expressions in SQL Server queries - other than adding some managed code which adds that functionality.
Here is an example of how to do that - SQL Server Regular expressions in T-SQL

A: It seems that REGEX wasn't really the solution.
Instead I wrote multiple SQL functions that do the job:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[KeywordMatches]
(
    @String nvarchar(1000),
    @Keywords nvarchar(1000),
    @Seperator text
)
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @Count int = 0;
    DECLARE @Keyword varchar(1000);
    DECLARE KeywordsCursor CURSOR FOR
    SELECT *
    FROM [dbo].StringSplit(@Keywords, @Seperator)

    OPEN KeywordsCursor
    FETCH NEXT FROM KeywordsCursor INTO @Keyword

    WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
    BEGIN
        IF @String LIKE '%' + @Keyword + '%'
            SET @Count += 1
        FETCH NEXT FROM KeywordsCursor INTO @Keyword
    END

    CLOSE KeywordsCursor
    DEALLOCATE KeywordsCursor

    RETURN @Count
END

And (fallback for server 2016 split_string):
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[StringSplit]
(
    @SeperatedWords nvarchar(1000),
    @Seperator char
)
RETURNS @Words TABLE
(
    Word nvarchar(1000)
)
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @Position int = -1
    SET @SeperatedWords += @Seperator
    WHILE (@Position > 0 OR @Position = -1)
    BEGIN
        SET @SeperatedWords = SUBSTRING(@SeperatedWords, @Position + 1, LEN(@SeperatedWords) - @Position + 1)
        SET @Position = CHARINDEX(@Seperator, @SeperatedWords)

        /* Only add words that have a length bigger then 0 */
        IF @Position > 1
            /* Add the word to the table */
            INSERT INTO @Words(Word) VALUES(LEFT(@SeperatedWords, @Position - 1))
    END
    RETURN
END

Usage:
SELECT Id, Title, [dbo].KeywordMatches(Title, 'blue red green', ' ') AS Matches
FROM Questions
ORDER BY Matches DESC, Date DESC

Above query orders by the amount of keywords found in the title and date.

I also read about full text search which is probably faster then this solution.

Hearing Begins In Case Of Marines Accused Of Kerala Fishermen's Murder
Italy took the issue to the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague in 2015, saying the case should be tried under maritime law.
All India | Press Trust of India | Updated: July 09, 2019 00:21 IST
Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone have been accused of killing two Indian fishermen.
The Hague:
An international arbitration court on Monday began hearing Italy's request to direct India to drop all criminal charges against two of its marines, accused of killing two Indian fishermen off the Kerala coast in 2012 and grant Rome jurisdiction in the case.
Italy took the issue to the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague in 2015, saying the case should be tried under maritime law. India, however, insists that the accused should return to New Delhi for a final judgement by an Indian court.
Presently, the two marines - Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone - are in Italy.
Italy's representative Francesco Azzarello told the court on Monday that Rome should have jurisdiction over the case because the two marines were functionaries of the Italian state doing their duty on board an Italian flagged ship in international waters.
"In India's eyes there is no presumption of innocence: the marines were guilty of murder even before the charges were laid," he was quoted as telling the court by Italian news agency ANSA.
He also said, "there were unjustifiable postponements of the trial in India. Special procedures were invented in violation of the Indian Constitution."
In response, India's representative G Balasubramanian told the court, "Italy maintains it has the exclusive jurisdiction in the case but one must take into account the fact that India and the two fishermen are the victims in this case."
He said two fishermen aboard an Indian boat were killed by individuals who were on a merchant ship.
On Italy's claims that the marines fired warning shots into the water to deter the boat, he said, "it is difficult to believe that these volleys were simply meant as warning shots...They hit two crew members, caused damage to the boat, endangering its safe navigation, and also endangering the lives of the other nine crew members."
On Italy's allegations of delay in the Indian court proceedings, he said, "...the reality of the fact forces me to say that had Italy cooperated with the prosecution of the killing incident, this case would have been finally concluded long ago."
He said Italy initially joined the proceedings before the Indian courts but surprisingly in a negative way, hampered them by filing multiple interlocutory applications challenging the actions of the Indian authorities.
"The case proceeded in the Indian courts, first before the Kerala court and then before the Supreme Court followed by the establishment of a special court for that purpose.
"Adopting a negative posture, however, Italy chose the cause of delaying it further by filing continuous applications which are nothing but designed to thwart the special court...," the Indian representative told the court.
He recalled that Salvatore Girone was allowed to reside at the residence of the Italian ambassador in New Delhi and said, "This clearly articulates how reasonable and cooperative India has been treating the marines and Italy during the proceedings before the Indian courts."
The marines were aboard the Italian-flagged commercial oil tanker ''Enrica Lexie'' when they killed the two Indian fishermen.
The complaint against them was lodged by Freddy, the owner of fishing boat ''St Antony'' in which the two Kerala fishermen were killed when the marines opened fire on them allegedly under the misconception that they were pirates.
Massimiliano Latorre, who had suffered a brain stroke on August 31, 2014, was first granted bail and allowed by the Supreme Court on September 12, 2014 to go to Italy for four months and after that, extensions have been granted to him.
In Italy, Massimiliano Latorre had to undergo a heart surgery after which the top court had granted him extension of his stay in Italy
On September 28, 2016, the top court had allowed Latorre to remain in his country till the international arbitral tribunal decided the jurisdictional issue.
On May 26, 2016, Salvatore Girone was also granted bail and allowed by the Supreme Court to go to his country till the jurisdictional issue was decided.

Facebook's Cryptocurrency Gets Big-Name Backers - Report
Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and Uber are among the big-name companies that will invest around $10 million a piece in a consortium that will govern the company's to-be-released digital coin, according to The Wall Street Journal.
M. Corey Goldman
Updated Jun 14, 2019 6:41 AM EDT
Facebook's (FB - Get Report) newly announced effort to launch a cryptocurrency has received backing from dozens of companies including Visa (V - Get Report) , Mastercard (MA - Get Report) , PayPal (PYPL - Get Report) and Uber (UBER) , who will each invest as much as $10 million a piece in a consortium that will govern the digital currency.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that the new digital coin, in the works more than two years and named Libra, will be unveiled next week and launched early next year.
Facebook Planning Its Own Cryptocurrency: Here's What We Know
The money from the financial and e-commerce companies, venture capitalists and telecommunications firms would be used to fund the creation of the coin, which will be pegged to a basket of government-issued currencies to avoid the wild swings that have dogged other cryptocurrencies, people familiar with the matter told the Journal.
The Journal reported last month that Facebook was recruiting backers to help start the crypto-based payments system and was seeking to raise as much as around $1 billion for the effort.
Shares in Facebook were down 0.38% at $176.80 in premarket trading on Friday.
Facebook and Mastercard are holdings in Jim Cramer's Action Alerts PLUS Charitable Trust Portfolio. Want to be alerted before Cramer buys or sells FB or MA? Learn more now.
