Royal Copenhagen (ursprungligen Den Kongelige Porcelænsfabrik) är en av Europas äldsta tillverkare av porslin. Fabriken grundades 1775 och är idag ett världsledande varumärke för kvalitetsporslin.

Historik

Bakgrund
Fabriken bildades 1775 under namnet "Den Kongelige Porcelænsfabrik" i en tidigare post- och gästgivargård på Købmagergade i Köpenhamn under beskydd av änkedrottning Juliana Marie och har sedan dess använt samma logotyp med de tre vågorna som representerar Danmarks tre inre farvatten: Öresund, Stora Bält och Lilla Bält. Fabriken startades av apotekaren Frantz Heinrich Müller som fick monopol på driften i 50 år.

1800-talet
Fabriken övergick i privat ägo 1868 och togs 1882 över av den framgångsrika fajansfabriken Aluminia i Christianshavn under ledning av Philip Schou. Kort efter Aluminias övertagande flyttades produktionen till en modernare anläggning på Aluminias fabriksområde i hörnet av Smallegade och Søndre Fasanvej i Frederiksberg. De nya byggnaderna, som fortfarande (2010) finns kvar, ritades av Valdemar Ingemann. J.E. Gnudtzmann ritade Schous direktörsbostad i gathörnet, och då ledningen för de bägge fabrikerna skiljde sig mer och mer åt lät Anton Rosen 1908 uppföra ännu en direktionsbostad som idag är kulturminnesmärkt.

Philip Schou anställde 1884 arkitekten Arnold Krog som konstnärlig ledare, och med honom vid rodret gick fabriken in i en konstnärlig glansperiod, där fabrikens produkter väckte stor uppmärksamhet över hela världen. På världsutställningen i Paris 1889 var det danska porslinet en av huvudattraktionerna, och Krogs verk vann utställningens Grand Prix. Vid sekelskiftet 1900 hade "Den Kongelige" tillsammans med Bing & Grøndahl etablerat sig som den konstnärligt dominerande porslinsfabriken på den europeiska marknaden. Aluminia fick efterhand självständig konstnärlig ledning under Christian Joachim och senare Nils Thorsson. Thorsson arbetade på bägge fabrikerna och fick stor betydelse för deras respektive produktserier.

1900-talet
Aluminia som hundra år tidigare hade övertagit Den Kongelige Porcelænsfabrik upphörde med produktionen av porslin 1969, även om fajansproduktionen fortsatte i mycket begränsad skala. Produktionen flyttades igen till Glostrup 2004, men i Frederiksberg finns fortfarande en fabriksbutik. Fabriksområdet "Porcelænsgrunden" är nu exploaterat och är bland annat plats för delar av Copenhagen Business School.

De två i särklass mest kända serviserna är Flora Danica och Musselmalet, som fortfarande handmålas på fabriken i Glostrup.

Royal Copenhagen köpte upp Georg Jensen Sølvsmedie 1972. Företaget sammanslogs med Holmegaard Glasværk 1985 och med Bing & Grøndahl 1987.

2000-talet
År 2001 förvärvades Royal Copenhagen tillsammans med Georg Jensen av den danska investeringsfonden Axcel, och de utgjorde då en del av Royal Scandinavia. I samband med att Axcel tog över Royal Copenhagen såldes Holmegaard Glasværk. Samtidigt såldes den kontrollerande aktiemajoriteten i det svenska glasbruket Orrefors Kosta Boda till New Wave Group.

Fiskars köpte Royal Copenhagen i slutet av 2012. Företaget har idag (2013) omkring 500 anställda.

Produktserier
Bland de mer kända mönstren finns (ursprunglig producent inom parentes):

 Flora Danica (servis),  Musselmalet, Blå Blomst, Henriette, Saksisk Blomst, Vifte, Gemina og Gemma (Royal Copenhagen)
 Empire, Offenbach, Sommerfugl och Måge (Bing & Grøndahl)
 Tranquebar och Blå Kant (Aluminia)

I shared this picture of Barbara Palvin on Dia de Beauté's Instagram (follow here!) and got loads of comments asking for the lipstick shade. It is indeed SUCH a gorgeous colour and we had to make it the lipstick of the week!
The deep burgundy lipstick is the perfect accessory if you want to get that extra element of strength in your look, to add power and personality. I particularly love how Barbara wore it, with an almost bare face done by artist Patrick Ta – just perfected skin, enhanced brows and lashes and a touch of light on the inner corner of the eyes. It looks fresh and modern and is a style that works for day or night.
Although there's no information anywhere as to which lipstick Patrick used on Barbara, I did some research on my personal collection and can recommend these below to get a similar effect.

Creator of Wall Street "Charging Bull" Statue is Suing Over "Fearless Girl"
12 April, 2017 12 April, 2017 Intellectual Property3 Comments
The Fearless Girl statue was installed earlier this year as a guerrilla marketing stunt, but it has since become a tourist attraction and, only this week, the focus of a copyright lawsuit over artists' moral rights.
A number of sources reported last night and this morning that Arturo Di Modica, the creator of the Raging Bull statue, has threatened to sue over the placement of the Girl statue. (To be clear, so far only USA Today confirmed that he has made that threat in a press conference, and no, it's not clear who he is suing.)
So far IPKat has the best write up on the part of copyright law (moral rights) Di Modica will be suing over:
Di Modica might bring an action for copyright infringement. But what chances of success would he have since no economic rights seem at stake in this case?What Di Modica might have in mind is an action based on moral rights infringement, notably the right of integrity.
As far as the US is concerned, moral rights protection is currently [the US Copyright Office is undertaking a public study on moral rights] narrow, especially if compared to droit d'auteurjurisdictions. Introduced in 1990 through the Visual Artists Rights Act, §106A of the US Copyright Act is arguably the only moral right provision under US copyright law, and its scope is limited. While acknowledging the moral rights of attribution and integrity, this provision only applies to 'works of visual arts' which are narrowly defined under §101.
Although Di Modica's sculpture might potentially qualify for protection under §106A, the right of integrity envisaged therein is only actionable in relation to a "distortion, mutilation, or other modification of the work which would be prejudicial" to the honour or reputation of the author. Arguably Fearless Girl and its positioning have not resulted in any derogatory action on or treatment of Charging Bull.
In addition, §106A(c) sets significant exclusions to moral rights protection. Of particular interest here is that "[t]he modification of a work of visual art which is the result of conservation, or of the public presentation [can the addition of Fearless Girl be considered part of the Charging Bull's public presentation?], including lighting and placement, of the work is not a destruction, distortion, mutilation, or other modification … unless the modification is caused by gross negligence." (emphasis added)
TechDirt's commentary isn't bad, either.
To anyone who adheres to the traditionalist view that copyright is a financial incentive designed to foster the creation of more art, this lawsuit is the source of eye rolls (don't ask us what we think of moral rights – please!).
Nevertheless, Di Modica has a case. It's not clear he's going to win, but as IPKat points out he could sue under US law or Italian law, which has stronger protections of an artist's moral rights.

Is it relevant to point out that nobody is making Di Modica exhibit his bull where it is, so that if he doesn't like its new context, he can always take it away again? It could be argued that the creator of 'Fearless Girl' has every bit as much right to this 'guerilla exhibition space' as he does.
Moriah Jovan13 April, 2017
I guess I'm looking at that girl-and-bull all wrong. I have never seen her as challenging the bull as if she will ultimately be the victor (subtext: Wall Street needs to die). I've seen her as boldly admiring him and aspiring to be able to ride him through the pits some day, and he'd allow her to because he admires her bravery.
That is what first struck me when I saw it and I will never see her as his enemy. But I have never seen my interpretation anywhere. I love that interchange between them.
Chris Meadows13 April, 2017
Tempest. Teapot. Also, artist whose best-known work is 30 years in the past seizing on an opportunity to get his name in the news again.
It's worth noting that Raging Bull was, itself, guerrilla art that was installed without permission, and only became a permanent fixture retroactively. So now he's complaining about someone else doing the same thing he did? Yeah, cry me a river.
The meaning of art does change over time, even without other statues being slapped down nearby. "Fearless Girl" wouldn't even have been a thing to begin with if the meaning of the bull hadn't already changed in the mind of the artist who came up with it.
This story is basically just a nothingburger. If the guy actually does sue, I don't expect the suit to go anywhere.

Q: How to config nginx to proxy x.example.com/a/xxx to a.example.com/xxx My question is:

*

*if I send a request http://x.example.com/a/sth, and here is my nginx proxy configuration:
location ~ /([a-z0-9]+) {
    proxy_pass http://$1.example.com:8000/;
}

but it can't proxy to http://a.example.com/sth
how do I configure?

A: You need to remove the /a/ prefix from the URI before you pass it upstream. You can probably do this in the same regular expression.
For example:
location ~ ^/([a-z0-9]+)/(.*)$ {
    proxy_pass http://$1.example.com:8000/$2$is_args$args;
}

You may need to specify a resolver directive, so that nginx can resolve the address of $1.example.com.

DJ Jean Maron :: True School
Matt Jost May 20, 2014
Being able to spot the difference is kind of important when you want to talk hip-hop. Of course you are free to rush to judgement, be a slave to your prejudices or parrot somebody else's opinion. But there's a good chance that you deprive yourself of making exciting discoveries – or at least distinctions that matter. That goes double for people like myself who publish their verdicts on a wider platform such as RapReviews.com. Next to getting the facts straight you have to be honest with yourself in order to be honest with the reader.
You see, I've grown sceptical of European producers who release these albums full of American features because in most cases they are virtual nobodies who haven't paid much dues locally, but through whatever kind of networking manage to lure a bunch of East Coast artists onto their humdrum beats. Germany's Snowgoons led the way and have since proved their worth, but they inspired too many MPC-tormenting hacks who have very little to show for. Dubious musical quality aside, what pisses me off about these projects is the insinuation that the only MC's worth paying attention to (or making beats for) are American ones, even if it's industry has-beens at a discount price or some random guy whose only distinction is that he is from Brooklyn or Queens.
I was prepared to say the same things about DJ Jean Maron's "True School," but after actually listening to it I had to backtrack on my preconceived notions. Yeah there are some of the usual suspects, the ship sails under the once honorable but often abused flag of 'true school hip-hop' (a term I believe originally coined by Afrika Bambaataa with the best of intentions sometime in the earlier '90s), and frankly I had never heard of DJ Jean Maron before. But he surprised me with a solid album with a structure and a statement.
Working out of the petite Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, French native Maron recruits some of the biggest names of '90s New York rap, some even qualifying as Golden Era greats. Any album that begins with a Kool G Rap cameo should have our attention, and while the opening notes of "Past to Present" consist of stereotypical classical strings that sound like a parody of some – non-existant – elitist 'European' take on hip-hop, boom and bounce are just around the corner, waiting to carry G Rap's quick trip down memory lane and return to the present, topped off by an array of vocal cuts. Jean Maron doesn't deny his deejaying background – "True School" actually has a DJ posse cut called "My DJ" where 18 of them get busy over a slapping and tumbling groove, including Tony Touch, Spinna and Statik Selektah, a bunch of Frenchmen, Belgian legend Daddy K and even Luxembourg representatives Roy de Marco, Kwistax, Deezdaze and Nikkel K. Did I mention that it's set up with a Fresh Prince sample from the DJ classic "The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff"?
Part of DJ Jean Maron's method seems to be to give his guests their personal space. The beats aren't strictly tailored towards the rapper to the point where you'd think you're listening to an old fashioned mixtape with the latest singles but they're familiar ground for all involved. KRS-One rocks a combination of Jimi Hendrix guitars and Marley Marl-style stabs on "True School" doing his thing as usual, solidifying his standing as a rap authority for the umpteenth time.
With "For My People" the Lords of the Underground are serviced with a punchy production that actually slightly predates their 1993 debut with an uptempo funk track more representative of the headbanger than the headnodder era. Notice how Maron still slyly references "Chief Rocka" when he samples both Mr. Funke's "Make the people say 'Ooh-ah'" and the Alvin Cash & the Crawlers bit that goes along with it. Onyx also rap over a beat not quite typical for them but still typical for hip-hop as the voluminous funk of "Get Up" is basically a straight jack of the Dramatics' "Get Up and Get Down." It's probably a touch too euphoric for the always sinister Sticky Fingaz, but fits Fredro Starr's traditionalist verse even as he's just as unrelenting as his partner:
"We ain't rappin' 'bout the money, we ain't rappin' 'bout the clothes
We ain't rappin' bout the cars, we ain't rappin' 'bout the dough
When you rappers do a show, people walkin' out
When Onyx do a show, we give the people something to talk about
Something to go home with, like broken bones and shit
You best believe that microphones get ripped
Diamond in the rough, you rappers faker than rhinestones
Beats sound the same you rhyme on
Aiyo the real is back, that '90 feel is back
That in the club gettin' grimey, just might peel a cap
Straight through the ceiling, black, just cause you feelin' that
Buck-buck-buck-buck cause we killin' that"
We can take it as a sign of respect towards the host and appreciation for his beats when the guests reach their target. Ace and Edo bring their seasoned reflections to "It's Too," while Fame and Danze have to handle a sample that once graced massive Fugees and Missy singles. Even as Jean Maron's rhythm section is seriously lacking here, "You Can't Hide" is still vintage M.O.P. and the 50 Cent soundbite worked into it serves as a reminder that M.O.P. and G-Unit really should have been a winning combination back in the mid-'00s:
"I'm on the graveyard shift, where I always am
Hopin' to catch a joker slippin', got it in my hand
Dude at the stoplight might have it for me
From the passenger side… (Whaddup, homie)
That watch chunky as fuck, the canary in your ear
tells me you got some paper – tell me you wanna share
Tell me you got my stimulus package for the year
Say it's materialistic and you don't really care
Say you gon' play ball and take the Beamer out of gear
Or I'll splatter your shit on the dash and leave you right here
Dude, the slightest move'll get you to the mausoleum
Keep your hands on the wheel where I can see 'em
You ridin' round with all this money, with all these jewels
You all outta town makin' all these moves
When you come through Brooklyn, don't act like you don't know me
Throw it up, holla atcha boy like (Whaddup, homie)"
Like M.O.P., Mobb Deep have also been on an industry odyssey (that included a stop at G-Unit as well), so "Itinerary" makes perfectly sense, the traveling theme reflecting musically in Jean Maron's track. The navigation system commentary is a bit gimmicky, making the bonus track "Time Switch," which replaces the GPS guide with verses from Benefit and Rap P, a welcome alternative.
Up to this point the big names make that "True School" stays in the swing of things. The one song that surpasses all realistic expectations comes courtesy of Brand Nubian. Lord Jamar may have recently branded himself as the 'conservative voice' of hip-hop, but that doesn't prevent him from delivering the standout verse on a standout song, an insightful look at an interracial relationship during segregation. Sadat X and Grand Puba set their Romeo and Juliet stories in different situations (Muslim/Jewish, poor/rich), and combined with JTronius' wailing backing and Jean Maron's sparkling track "Forbidden Love" is a strong reminder of the quality songwriting still found in the works of older rap representatives.
Reacting to the advertisement of a double CD and double vinyl edition, some wisecrack commented that 'this must be for the old school heads because young heads wouldn't know what to do with a CD.' DJ Jean Maron would surely point out that his project is for everybody with an appreciation for hip-hop in its purest form, because that's what the term 'true school' implies. But it's evident that people who are familiar with the featured rappers will most appreciate "True School." For some, the sound may be too clean and the samples too obvious, but it's also warm and melodic. There's a pointless hidden track before the bonus tracks, but at the same time you will be hard pressed to name a similar recent album that is so attentive towards its guests that it lets two students of the masters (Reks and Skyzoo) weave the events together in two acapella interludes. Bottomline, this is a worthwhile effort for those who still fondly remember their school days in the 1990s and those 'young heads' willing to be schooled by 'old school heads.'

Take an old tire that is still mounted to the rim. This method will not work if the tire doesn't have a rim on it, as the rim is what holds it together.
Make zig-zag or scalloped cuts approximately eight to twelve inches from the rim on one side of the tire, depending on the size of the tire. (Note that these cuts are only on the flat part of the tire near the rim, not onto the area where the treads are.) Make the cuts all the way around the tire so that the tire is separated into two pieces, held together by the rim. Remember, do *not* take the tire off the rim.
Turn the tire inside-out. The easiest way to do this is to put the tire on a stump (or stool or something like it), with the cuts facing up. Take the outer part of the cut tire, and pull it out and downward to turn it inside out. It's hard at first, but once you get it going, goes fairly smoothly.
Once you've turned it inside-out, you should wind up with one very large section (which becomes the plant holder part of the planter) and one very small tire section (which becomes the base of the planter). The holes in the rim become the drainage holes for the plant.
At this point, if desired, designs can be painted on the outside of the large part of the planter. Tole designs work nicely on this.
Put some dirt or fertilizer inside the large section of the tire.
Plant your little plants or flower plants in it. Water it.
Measure halfway across the bicycle inner tube tire. Mark the center with a white marker all the way around the tire.
Cut the tire following the marked line. This will create two halves of the original tire. Remove the tire valve part and discard.
Attach the end of one half of the cut tire to the base of the plant pot. Wind the tire half around the pot from the pot upward. When this piece finishes, tape in place.
Attach the second piece of the inner tube to the pot. Wind it around to the top of the plant pot. Attach it tightly with tape to the top of the pot. If there is extra tire, cut this off neatly, before taping.
Add some soil and a plant to the pot. Place on display. You've just made use of something that might otherwise end up in landfill. Make a row of these for a cool garden display.
How long does it take to make a tire plant pot?
It should only take a couple of hours to make a tire plant pot. Take into consideration cutting, painting, filling with soil and a plant.
Don't cut your fingers in the process.
Steel radial tires contain steel wire which is unsightly and difficult to cut.

on the chart below: Top 3 Reasons Why You Need A Fibonacci Retracement Tool: In a downtrend, after price has been going down for some time, it will move back. Well, if you see this pattern in an uptrend, expect a breakout to the upside. So if the distance is 100 pips, then if you trade the initial breakout, you set it at 100pips take profit target level like the chart shown below with the two blue lines: Inverse Head and Shoulder Pattern You will also see this pattern, though. It is important to note that if this happened to one MM it has probably happened to most all of them.
But first, if youve never heard about Fibonacci retracement tool, then heres a brief introduction What Is The Fibonacci Retracement Tool? #2: The technique I like most to take a sell trade on Peak 2 when I see a bearish reversal candlestick. But personally, I do not like that approach. If the lower wick is short, it tells your theres very minimal buying pressure.

RALEIGH � Gov. Pat McCrory unveiled highlights of his second-year agenda Tuesday, keeping to themes of improving North Carolina's economic climate, supporting public school teachers and making state government more efficient.
Holding a news conference with his Cabinet-level staff, the Republican governor also vowed to get a teacher pay package through the General Assembly when it reconvenes in May. McCrory and fellow GOP legislative leaders have been criticized for approving no raise this school year, meaning there's been only one annual increase since 2008, sending average pay toward the bottom of the states.
"That is unacceptable to me, unacceptable to the legislature and unacceptable to the people of North Carolina," McCrory told reporters at the Executive Mansion. "And that's why we will get teacher raises done this year."
He didn't commit to a certain pay increase, but said he wanted to unveil a plan getting finalized by his education adviser soon and have the backing of legislative leaders, who also have signaled teacher compensation as a top priority during its short budget-adjustment session.
McCrory wants the plan to emphasize front-loading pay for new teachers and rewarding those who teach math and science or perform well, presumably by calculated standards.
"We can't just put a Band-Aid on teacher pay," the governor said, adding, "we need to think strategically and long-term."
McCrory enters 2014 after checking off many items in his first-year agenda thanks in part to Republicans in charge of the House and Senate.
The governor Tuesday characterized unemployment benefits and budget reductions during 2013 as tough decisions to restore the state's fiscal health, while cutting income tax rates as a competitive jolt to bordering states. Democrats panned most of McCrory's 2013 agenda as damaging the public schools and benefiting the well-to-do.
Buoyed by recent statistics showing a decline in the state unemployment rate, the governor reinforced efforts dating back to his first gubernatorial campaign in 2008 to get North Carolina into the energy exploration business and leverage transportation infrastructure into job creation.
While the path remains clear for state regulators to issue the first permits for fracking exploration as of March 2015, McCrory said he will press President Barack Obama's administration to ease rules that prevent seismic testing off the Atlantic coast to measure potential natural gas and oil deposits. State environment Secretary John Skvarla said the administration also will keep working toward an "all of the above" policy to promote other energy forms.
Along with potential energy and education legislation, the governor said he expects a Medicaid reform bill to top his legislative agenda. But McCrory may have to accept less on Medicaid from lawmakers and medical providers cool to earlier ideas from Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Aldona Wos to turn Medicaid services over to managed-care organizations.
Medicaid reform, McCrory said, "may be the toughest battle."
His administration is also reviewing whether some agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services are too large and unwieldy. The department, which is projected to spend more than $18 billion in federal and state funds this year, covers a wide range of activities, from pre-kindergarten and Medicaid and adult care homes to public health emergencies. DHHS also has been marked by repeated shortfalls and mistakes dating before McCrory's arrival in Raleigh.
"It's an amazing hodgepodge of responsibilities that I think makes management extremely difficult," McCrory said. State Budget Director Art Pope is leading the government efficiency initiative reviewing DHHS and other agencies.
While Senate leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, praised McCrory's agenda for this year, Democratic leaders later Tuesday were skeptical about McCrory's agenda � not surprising given they saw little good coming from the governor in 2013.
"Teachers, students, and working families have seen Gov. McCrory's true priorities, and until we see a meaningful plan that supports education and grows the middle class, the governor's words will remain hollow," Senate Minority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, said in a prepared statement.
McCrory said he wanted more dialogue with political opponents � as long as they offer solutions for fixing complex problems. "One area that we all need to improve on is dialogue and conversation, and not political sound bites against each other," he said.
But cooperation is unlikely given it's an election year. Last year also was marked by weekly protests by critics of the Republican agenda and more than 900 arrests at the Legislative Building. Laws written by Republicans on elections and public schools are being challenged in court.

Mexico: top investigator in case of missing students resigns
Posted on September 15th, 2016 by Global Ganja Report and tagged Mexico.
Tomás Zerón de Lucio, the head of Mexico's Criminal Investigations Agency, turned in his resignation to the prosecutor general's office on Sept. 14—amid an internal inquiry into his handling of the case of 43 college students who disappeared nearly two years ago. The undergraduate students, from Ayotzinapa town in Guerrero state, are said to have been abducted by corrupt local police and turned over to a murderous narco-gang—but surviving kin and their supporters increasingly charge Mexico's government with a cover-up in the case.
The Ayotzinapa case has been the subject of an angry protest campaign. It is increasingly believed that the Guerreros Unidos narco-gang officially blamed in the case are taking the hit for federal police involvement in the abductions. Zerón's resignation comes days ahead of the two-year anniversary of the mass disappearance on Sept. 26.
Zerón had been under growing pressure since April, when a panel of foreign human rights and legal experts brought in to review the case harshly criticized the investigation in its final report, raising doubts about the integrity of Mexico's judicial system. Zerón was singled out for criticism in the panel's final report.
As the New York Times notes, the panel examined events that took place on Oct. 28 and 29, 2014, in a canyon of the Río San Juan near Cocula village, where the government said the students' burnt remains had been dumped in plastic garbage bags. At their press conference, the panelists displayed video clips of Zerón accompanying a detained suspect to the scene on Oct. 28—the day before the garbage bags were allegeldy recovered from the canyon. These were full of incinerated bones, including a fragment that provided the only DNA identification of one of the missing students. Yet none of that day's investigative activities were recorded in the case file, the panelists charged—raising the possibility that investigators had manipulated or planted evidence.
The Prosecutor General's office opened the internal affairs inquiry in response to the charges. Zerón remained in his post but was reportedly iced from the Ayotzinapa case.
A few weeks ago, the familiies of missing students, who had been meeting regularly with Prosecutor General Arely Gómez and her staff, suspended those meetings in protest of the government's refusal to fire Zerón.
Zerón, we may be assured, has landed on his feet. La Jornada newspaper reports that immediately upon his resignation, President Enrique Peña Nieto appointed him to a seat on Mexico's National Security Council.

Michaela Sumner, Newark Advocate Published 1:57 p.m. ET Aug. 27, 2019 | Updated 3:35 p.m. ET Aug. 27, 2019
NEWARK - A Licking County Clerk of Courts employee is accused of taking court cost payments, then covering up her actions.
Rebekah K. Gavin, 27, of Heath, was indicted on charges of tampering with records and theft in office, both third-degree felonies, by a grand jury last week.
According to Assistant Licking County Prosecutor Jenny Gonzalez-Wells, Gavin was working as a clerk for the Licking County Clerk of Courts in the domestic relations building.
Gonzalez-Wells said Gavin was responsible for taking payments from individuals who were paying their court costs.
After some inconsistencies were noticed, the prosecutor said investigators determined Gavin had been "taking cash payments from individuals paying their court costs."
After taking the payments, the prosecutor said Gavin would cover up what she was doing by altering records.
Investigators determined Gavin took $7,985.87 between April 10 and July 22.
Officials with the clerk's office referred all questions about Gavin's past employment to the prosecutor's office. According to Assistant Prosecutor Paula Sawyers, Gavin is no longer employed by Licking County.
If convicted, Gavin faces up to up to six years in prison and up to a $20,000 fine.
According to the indictment, Gavin was issued a summons to appear for the case. Licking County court records indicate Gavin is set to appear for a bond hearing on Sept. 10.

Teen groomed by footballer Adam Johnson admits she 'absolutely hates' him now
A schoolgirl at the centre of child sex charges against Adam Johnson has told jurors that she hates the footballer for what he has put her through.
Tuesday, 16th February 2016, 4:13 pm
Updated Tuesday, 16th February 2016, 4:50 pm
The girl at the centre of the allegations says she hates Adam Johnson for what he's put her through.
Click here to follow the live coverage from Bradford Crown Court.
Orlando Pownall QC, defending Johnson at Bradford Crown Court, asked the girl whether she "absolutely hated" Johnson now.
Speaking through tears via a video link to the court, she said: "Yes, I do, after everything he's put us through.
"He told everyone he was innocent and he made me out to be a liar. He let people cheer him on at matches and call me all the names under the sun."
Teen groomed by 'creepy' Adam Johnson admits bragging to friends about Range Rover meetings
The teenager sobbed uncontrollably as Johnson's barrister suggested that sexual acts had not taken place between the two of them.
Johnson is charged with two counts of sexual activity with a child against the girl.
In her first police interview, the girl told officers that Johnson has sexually touched her.
In her second interview, she also said she performed a sex act on Johnson for three or four seconds.
Earlier in evidence, the girl admitted to jurors that she did not tell police about this particular act straight away because she was "trying to protect Johnson".
Today in evidence, she said: "I am not lying about it. The one person who has lied through this is him."
Mr Pownall continued to say that when other people started to find out the girl was faced with an opportunity - whether she admitted she had made it all up, "or exaggerate and hope she would get sympathy".
"You have not told the truth," the barrister said.
The girl, crying, said: "He knows for a fine fact he did that to me. He has lied about the others for a year.
"I had thousands of people calling me a liar and saying I was a slag and a slut and a stupid little girl.
"I was a stupid little girl. I was the only one trying to protect his career."
The court heard that after the girl had reported Johnson to the police, she liked a number of his teammate Connor Wickham's photographs on Instagram.
She also tagged a friend in one of his pictures, as she knew the friend fancied him.
On the night the girl confided in her father about what happened with Johnson, rumours had started to escalate on social media about what had gone on between them.
The girl denied these claims to her friends in a move she insisted was to protect Johnson.
Mr Pownall put it to her that she was worried about what would be said the next day at school.
The girl said she felt "horrible, disgusted, upset and sorry" when she saw the messages talking about her.

I must apologize to my audience…all six of you who read this blog. I did not adequately promote The Rice County All Stars. I just caught their act at the Upstairs Rueb and they truly are a super group of talented artists. Every member of the group can rip out the riffs without stepping on any one else's toes. If you make like a baker and haul buns, you can catch them down at the Cow, starting shortly after 11 pm.
Not only did I juggle the ball on the all stars, Meredith Fierke was the opening act. I have probably gushed over her, a d whatever supporting and talented musicians she brings to the dance, several times on at least two websites. Folks, check her out whenever you get the chance. There is a rumor that she may be playing at the Tavern Lounge next Saturday night.
I suppose I could blame it all on the information available to me. The ArtOrg Concert series said "To Be Determined". ArtOrg E. D. Dave Machacek told me the story behind it tonight. Improvisation on the fly is unpredictable but can be very rewarding.

Adsorptive Bioprocess Improves Yield of Melanin from Pseudomonas stutzeri

Department of Biotechnology, Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal
Manipal Centre for Infectious Diseases (MAC ID)
Melanins are natural pigments, and the presence of indole ring and numerous functional groups makes melanin an ideal choice for many applications such as UV protective agents, skincare, cosmetics etc. A marine Pseudomonas stutzeri produces melanin without the addition of tyrosine. The feedback inhibition was observed by melanin in the culture of a melanin-producing marine bacterium, Pseudomonas stutzeri. Melanin also demonstrated microbial growth inhibition. The Han-Levenspiel model-based analysis identified uncompetitive type product inhibition of melanin on the cell growth. Tyrosinase enzyme, which produces melanin, was inhibited by melanin. The double reciprocal plot of the enzymatic reaction in the presence of different melanin concentrations revealed uncompetitive product inhibition. An adsorbent-based adsorptive bioprocess was developed to reduce the feedback inhibition by melanin. Different adsorbents were screened to select the best adsorbent for melanin adsorption. Dosage amount and time were optimized to develop the adsorptive bioprocess, which resulted in an 8.8-fold enhancement in melanin production by the marine bacteria Pseudomonas stutzeri (153 mg/L to 1349 mg/L) without supplementation of tyrosine and yeast extract.

They continue to test a number of new and emerging technologies within their operations to help maintain this position.
FedEx Express has also been integrating a number of new technologies and automation into its network. Most notably, FedEx has installed four robotic arms to help process small packages and letters within its Small Package Sort System (SPSS) at the Memphis Hub. As the FedEx Express Memphis Hub embarks upon its larger Memphis Hub Modernization and Improvement Project, these robotic arms have been installed, tested and deemed fully operational. FedEx Express worked closely with Plus One and Yaskawa to implement an industrial robotic arm that picks packages from a collection bin and places them on a conveyor belt to be scanned and inducted into the small package sort. This collaborative technology is among the first of its kind in the logistics industry.
FedEx continues to be a leader in transportation technology that improves safety and efficiency for our team members, operations and customers. We believe that autonomous vehicle technology is promising and has the potential to impact transportation at all levels in the future – from long-haul to last mile delivery. We have been actively testing autonomous vehicles throughout each of our networks and we support more testing and research to advance transportation technologies that improve safety and efficiency for all drivers. Additionally, we view the testing and adoption of technology and automation as an opportunity to increase safety, improve productivity and provide training and career opportunities for FedEx team members. We are working with the Partnership for Transportation Innovation and Opportunity and support their commitment to "advancing autonomous vehicle technology in ways that improve quality of life and economic opportunity for all Americans."

Our digital transformation
We are constantly innovating at FedEx to meet changing customer needs in a demanding marketplace. We are always looking at trends and the needs of our customers to determine new developments and design the technology solutions to support them.
The benefits of blockchain
FedEx sees great potential for blockchain in transportation, where a shared digital ledger could create more efficient and secure supply chains for our customers. We are exploring a number of potential use cases for blockchain technology across our operating companies and are founding members of the Blockchain in Transportation Alliance and the Blockchain Research Institute. Blockchain technology has the potential to improve shipment visibility, speed customs clearance and provide a common language across different companies' systems and various industries.
An increasingly connected world is increasingly venerable to cyber threats and FedEx continues to make significant investments in information security to protect the integrity of our systems and data. FedEx is focused on the protection of trade secrets and customer data, guarding FedEx information systems against malicious interference and disruptions to outside infrastructure critical to FedEx operations.
FedEx has aligned with U.S. government agencies and national business associations to influence sensible federal, state and local cybersecurity and privacy policies and legislation. In addition to such alignment, FedEx has helped spearhead collaboration among technology suppliers to improve and strengthen their security practices. As the world accelerates its digital expansion, FedEx has a renewed commitment to join with other companies and government agencies to reinforce policies, legislation and security practices that fortify the protection of digital data.

Meet the human hand behind the FedEx sorting robots Created with Sketch.
Aaron Prather is a self-proclaimed tinkerer and solver of puzzles which has led him through a varied career at FedEx to his current role heading up the Small Package Sort System at the Memphis Hub. Prather's team led the installation of four robots at the facility's main sorting room where they execute thousands of "pick and place" maneuvers a day. Three of the four robots average around 1,400 packages an hour while a fourth, named Sue, recently received a software upgrade allowing her to move 1,600 packages through every 60 minutes.
Yes, Prather's team wanted to name the robots and Sue's metallic coworkers nametags clearly read: Bobby, Colin and Randall.
"Three of the names were picked out of a hat, but everyone really wanted to name one of them Randall after a favorite manager who had recently retired," Prather explained of the humanizing efforts.
Whether in package sorting or assembly lines, robots are perfect for simulating repetitive and tedious tasks, allowing team members to focus on higher-level more complex tasks. For Prather, who just celebrated 25 years at FedEx, finding a solution to a puzzle is what he's best at.
"I originally wanted to help develop the routes for couriers, and that's what I studied in college. But over time I found myself moving from one area inside FedEx to another."
All told, Prather has held over a dozen roles at FedEx over the years tackling everything from data analysis to figuring out how to move live chickens through the network. It was this same problem solving that led the cruciverbalist (a fancy word for someone who likes to solve crossword puzzles) to investigate working with a new effort that had just started testing.
"There wasn't an opening at the time, I was just interested in the idea of robots coming to the facility and talked about it with the manager all the time. I found it fascinating. When he moved on, I knew I had to pursue the role."
Prather and the FedEx team worked hand in hand with robotics firms Plus One Robotics Inc. and Yaskawa Electric Corporation to develop the specialized robotic arms that can articulate properly to handle the delicate task of picking up small, and often odd-shaped, packages.
Two years after the project began, the robots are a first in the industry and couldn't have come at a better time with more and more customers relying on e-commerce and delivery than ever before.
One surprising benefit of working with robots is the impact on Prather human staff: "They are freed to do so much more and are overseeing the robots."
A natural born tinkerer, Prather takes apart old iPhones "just to see what's inside" and built a crude robot for a former hockey club he worked with that would repeatedly shoot pucks so defenders could learn to steal them.
He's also been back hitting the books on robotics the past few years working with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and recently was enlisted by the Robotics Industries Association (RIA) to lead a task force that will investigate what's needed to allow robots from different manufacturers to talk to each other in a common language.
The robots at FedEx have artificial intelligence (AI) built in while their human counterparts are adapting the old-fashioned way. "The team is figuring out what types of packages the robots are best at handling and feed them what they 'like,'" Prather explains. It's this type of productivity and team innovation that the man building an AI powered RC car in his garage finds rewarding. "People I run into always think working with robots is the coolest job…and I have to agree."


Was anyone else caught in the large CF on the Chain Bridge this morning? It was backed up like a cheap commode because people coming from Virginia into DC were following the usual workday morning traffic patterns, using two lanes on the bridge, but were forced to merge at the stoplight in DC at Canal Road. Canal Road coming west to the bridge is working on a holiday schedule, not jibing a darned bit with how it normally is at that time.
This type of thing has concerned me in the past because the likelihood of everything getting crapped up is really quite high when you think about the amount of information on the signs and the speed you are going when you are supposed to read and integrate all the information. It lists which lanes are drivable depending on the time of day, day of week and whether or not it is a holiday. Lots of decision points there, especially the last part. Is today a holiday? For the postal workers, yes. For the garbage collectors and me, no.
If you usually take this bridge, I highly recommend going a different route on the way home because you will surely experience a similar problem. Also that will make it easier for me because I am likely to forget to go a different way when I try to leave my place of employment this afternoon.
