Two otherwise unrelated but Armenia-impacting items caught my eye this week. The first was yet another "brilliancy prize" worthy article by Arye Gut, an Armenian-hating hack. The second was Nikol Pashinyan's proposal to make the Republic of Armenia's personal income tax system even more unjust than it currently is.
Arye Gut, "an Azerbaijani Israeli, is a board member of the Israeli-Azerbaijani International Organization, official coordinator of the "Justice for Khojaly!" international campaign in Israel, and an expert in international relations" according to the website algemeiner.com, where he has numerous postings. He also enjoys the aegis of the "Jerusalem Post" where he proudly proclaims "I am permanent commentator on Israeli public TV and radio on Azerbaijan-Israeli and Israel-Turkish relations." He should probably also reveal how much Azerbaijan and Turkey pay him to produce the Amazon-river-scale of drivel he puts out. If you ever want to utterly waste time, raise your blood pressure, and practice your cursing skills, just go to The Jerusalem Post's archives. His Facebook page features Azerbaijan's President Aliyev in his main picture.
I was looking for pieces he wrote before stumbling on to his massive pile of manure in the Jerusalem post. When searching online, I came up with some choice items such as "Anti-Semitism in Armenia: A Clear and Present Danger", "The Holocaust and the Khojaly Massacre Through the Eyes of Contemporaries", "In Azerbaijan Muslims and Jews Are Allies", "Misrepresenting Israel And Azerbaijan", and "Anti-Azerbaijani Rhetoric" which were published on various websites. But the overwhelming majority of his stuff came up on Azerbaijani websites. That should give you a clue as to where this guy is coming from.
Gut, in his typical detached-from-reality style claims that Khachatourian's piece is anti-semitic! The temerity of this hack is off the scale of human decency by orders of magnitude. The Genocide becomes "so called". Armenian media become "full of hysteria" because of their reaction to Israeli non-recognition of the Genocide. And, an observation that Israeli recognition of the Genocide would lead to better relations between Armenia and Israel get distorted into a "condition" for cooperation between the two states. It's beyond my capacity to grasp how such a complete distorter of fact can be given so much space by otherwise legitimate publications!
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to Facebook to announce that after considering 10-15 options, the government has settled on two possible revisions to the tax system in Armenia. One is implementing a flat income tax rate and the other is to reduce the number of tiers, or tax brackets, from the current three to two. Incidentally, they also want to slowly lower the rate over the next few years and equalize the rates paid by locals and outsiders on the business tax front.
Remember that Armenia has no level of income below which a person would not pay any taxes. Even the U.S., with all its tax favoritism to higher earners, has a cutoff below which people do not pay any income tax. Pashinyan must have been cynically abusing the notion of social justice when describing the proposed two tier system as one based on it.
Imagine trying to make ends meet at the lower end of these levels of income. Really, there's not much difference between 23 percent and 25 percent. A truly fair system would have many more brackets/tiers. Just to convey the point I am making, I'll create an example. Perhaps 10 tiers with tax rates ranging from 10 percent to 50 percent is what should be put in place. Plus, some cutoff, probably at whatever the "poverty level" of income is should be the lowest income on which taxes would be levied. Anyone making less than that amount should pay no taxes.
Tax brackets, or tiers, are meant to spread the burden in an equitable way among citizens. Think about it. Let's say a household's (of four people) income is $30,000, and $7,500 (25 percent) has to go to taxes, that leaves only $22,500 for other necessities. But a household (again of four people) with an income of $110,000 would pay $27,500 in taxes leaving $82,500 for other necessities. The impact of 25 percent taxation on the first household is clearly much greater. That's why the first household should pay, hypothetically, only 5 percent in taxes and the second, again, hypothetically, 30 percent. And at $500,000 income, yet again, hypothetically, the tax right should be 50 percent. This is what is called progressive taxation and should be the approach taken by Pahinian and his economic advisors.
But the bottom line problem is that the current government in Yerevan is demonstrating the mindset of many of its Western, and specifically U.S., educated members where the "liberal" ideology regarding economics disregards people. Instead, other factors, profit, growth, debt payments, etc. are prioritized over human needs which is what all economies originally arose to fulfill until they were coopted by those who accumulated extreme wealth.
Please, Mr. Pashinyan, back off this foolish course. Establish a minimum income level below which a citizen would not pay taxes. Then, start at a very low tax rate, and increase for higher income levels with the rates rising sharply for the highest levels of money made. Stay true to your supporters who took to the streets to help create a more just society for our homeland.
Pashinyan is looking more and more like a Russian inspired and controlled-opposition figure.

HomeOpinionThe Brett Kavanaugh Nomination Process Has Been A Total Sham
The Brett Kavanaugh Nomination Process Has Been A Total Sham
October 2, 2018 David Opinion
Since Day 1, Brett Kavanuagh's nomination for the Supreme Court has been a complete disgrace. The Federalist Society had more sway over this pick than President Donald Trump, the Senate Judiciary Committee had any unprecedentedly low amount of documents, and serious allegations of sexual assault have dismissed as a partisan conspiracy. This article will take a close look at Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination process and explain why it's been a sham every step of the way.
Why Kavanaugh Was Nominated
It's indisputable that the Federalist Society, a right-wing and libertarian group who believe in an originalist interpretation of the Constitution, played a significant role in Trump picking Kavanaugh. Donald McGahn, the Trump campaign's top lawyer, helped the then-GOP primary candidate create a list of potential Supreme Court picks to replace the deceased Antonin Scalia.
This helped reassure the undecided GOP base that Trump could be relied on if he were to win the Presidential election. What wasn't so widely reported was the fact that while this list was being constructed, McGahn received significant input from Leonard Leo, who at the time was the executive Vice President of the Federalist Society. McGahn later made a speech at a Federalist Society event in November 2017.
To make things even more interesting, Brett Kavanaugh wasn't even on Trump's original list of potential Supreme Court nominees. Kavanaugh made the revised list, which was published in November 2017, right around the same time McGahn was making speeches at the Federalist Society.
Coincidence? Perhaps, but you deserve to know that at least one right-wing special interest group has a significant influence over who gets a lifetime appointment on the highest court in the United States.
Very Few Kavanaugh Documents Were Given To The Senate Judiciary Committee
One of the main arguments the Democrats in the Senate Judiciary Committee was that very few Brett Kavanaugh documents had been released. Republicans in the Committee made the argument that tens of thousands of documents were released to the public, but Democrats accurately pointed out that only a very small percentage of documents had actually been released.
Democrats were especially frustrated that they didn't have access to documents where Kavanaugh would've addressed issues like healthcare, Enron, and torture.
Tensions really boiled over when Cory Booker (D-NJ) released allegedly confidential documents. When Senate Republicans objected to the release and stated that he could legal repercussions, Booker simply said, "Bring it."
It was later announced that the documents Booker released had already been declassified, making his actions a little less heroic. Regardless, this outburst really shined a light on how much of a struggle it was for Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee to access documents and show them to the public.
The Sexual Assault Allegations
Sexual assault allegations are difficult to prove, especially when the event in question happened nearly four decades ago. In my opinion, it's unlikely we'll ever have definitive proof that Christine Blasey Ford's accusations are true.
However, her accusation and the ones that followed clearly demonstrated that a further FBI investigation was absolutely necessary. Fortunately, Jeff Flake (R-AZ) stated that he wouldn't vote for Kavanaugh until the FBI was allowed to investigate further.
Unfortunately, the investigation is being severely limited in its scope. Republicans set an arbitrary one week deadline. The FBI can't question question Julie Swetnick, Kavanaugh's third accuser. The FBI can't question the supermarket where Mark Judge, the other man allegedly involved in the sexual assault, worked at the time, which could help construct a clear timeline of events.
Why are the GOP and White House trying to rush this investigation? Why isn't the FBI being given as much as they need to perform as thorough an investigation as possible?
There are only three logical conclusions:
The GOP is afraid they're going to lose the House and the Senate, which could force them to nominate more liberal judges. I think this fear is a bit unwarranted, as any judge Trump nominates would have a conservative lean and the Democrats haven't demonstrated the willingness to delay votes on judges.
The GOP really believes these claims are completely baseless. However, if this were really true, wouldn't they want a thorough investigation so they could clear Kavanaugh's name and eliminate the controversy surrounding his nomination?
The GOP is afraid of what a thorough investigation could uncover. They're worried an investigation could sink Kavanaugh's nomination, and they don't want to go through another nomination process from step one.
So What's The Big Rush?
First, let me say this — it's hard to ignore the irony of the Republican Party rushing through a Supreme Court nominee after they obstructed the nomination of Merrick Garland and left a seat vacant for more than 400 days. If this were a movie, viewers would be disappointed by the lack of subtly in this hypocrisy.
The simplest explanation for the rush of Kavanaugh's confirmation is that the GOP wants the Supreme Court to have a conservative edge as soon as possible. The GOP is in serious risk of losing both the House and Senate, giving the Democrats more control over what type of judge would get confirmed to the Supreme Court.
If you dig a bit deeper, things get a lot more interesting and a lot more troubling. There's a major case on the Supreme Court's docket that could benefit Trump in the looming Russia meddling investigation. That case is Gamble v. United States, which will rule on whether or not people who are pardoned by the President of the United States are subject to the 5th Amendment's double-jeopardy clause.
Essentially, if overturned, individuals pardoned of federal crimes could not be tried in civil court. This has huge ramifications for the Trump-Russia investigation.
Let's say Trump pardons Paul Manafort, who was convicted of bank fraud and agreed to cooperate with the Mueller investigation. Manafort could no longer be convicted of a crime, protecting him from punishment and deincentivizing him from cooperating with Mueller's investigation. Theoretically, Trump could do this for a number of his associates, potentially leading the Mueller investigation to a dead-end.
Trump isn't the only one who could benefit from the Gamble v. United States decision. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, submitted a forty-four page amicus brief in the case. Hatch has said that he would like to see the dual-sovereignty doctrine overturned.
Regardless of motivations, it's clear the Republicans are rushing this nomination process. At the very least, this process needs to be slowed down to allow the FBI to fully investigate the accusations made against Kavanaugh.

It felt a little like déjà vu on Thursday night. My mind was transported back to February 2003 when the whole of Israel waited with baited breath as the Space Shuttle Columbia re-entered the earth's atmosphere with the very first ever Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon on board. Despite feeling immense pride at the amazing achievements made by a tiny country and its first astronaut, the day was not to end well. The space shuttle burned up during its re-entry to the atmosphere killing all on board in the process. Ilan Ramon's memory remains a folk legend in Israel. And so, too, there was disaster last night as Beresheet, Israel's first ever lunar craft, made its final approach to the Sea of Serenity. Unfortunately another failure along Israel's route to becoming a superstar country in the area of space travel and exploration. The quest to become only the world's fourth country to safely land a craft on the moon was not achieved yesterday by the Israeli lunar lander.
In spite of another setback for Israel in the field of space exploration, there were so many positive things that came out of Beresheet's trip to the moon that it is really difficult to see it as a failure at all. Coming at the end of a week that also saw a general election that proved to be very divisive in many respects, it was heart-warming to see how the country and the Jewish world united in support of Beresheet. Willing it to safely land on the surface of the moon. Willing Israel to take up an important place as one of the handful of nations to achieve this. This unified support was in such contrast to the previous few days over the period of the election, and would have seemed impossible only two or three days earlier. This extended not only to those in Israel, but to Jews around the world. We could feel a real sense of support from Jews around the world during the time of this project, something that is not taken for granted at all.
The fact that Israel became only the seventh nation on earth to send a spacecraft into orbit around the moon, is a huge achievement in itself. And this was the very first project not sponsored by a national government, making the achievement quite unique. This is a great response to those who use every opportunity to criticise Israel and to those who wish to destroy her. This is the way to answer those who accuse Israel of being an apartheid state, and to demonstrate to BDS and its supporters that there is tremendous depth to Israeli ingenuity and huge desire to develop, to build and to make a real difference in science, technology and other fields. This is the way to show that the Israel that is seen on BBC and CNN and that is castigated at the UNHRC, is not the real face of Israel. Beresheet is a much truer face and a fairer reflection of what Israel really stands for and what she is truly about. This shows Israel to be a nation that builds rather than destroying, and this stands in stark contrast to the lack of any positive achievements by many of Israel's enemies.
The attention that this project has drawn to the field of space travel and space exploration in Israel is almost on the scale of the attention drawn to it by Ilan Ramon and his exploits. Surely, the interest of the next generation is almost assured in the process. In spite of the slip-up at the final hurdle, young Israelis have been excited by this story sufficiently to ensure that they will be seeking ways of succeeding where Beresheet failed. In the same way that we did not hear the last of Ilan Ramon when Columbia disintegrated and he went on to become a household name and a legend, I am sure that we have not heard the end of an Israeli lunar landing. It seems not to be coincidental that the name chosen for the spacecraft was Beresheet, the first word in the Torah with the meaning of "in the beginning". Just as the name signifies, this seems to be just the beginning of great things to come.
Huge credit needs to go to the SpaceIL team, to sponsor and president Morris Kahn and to all those involved in the project. They gave Israel and Israelis a dream and something around which to unite and feel proud. And they gave thousands of Israeli children the little flame to ignite their interest and their desire and determination to ultimately succeed in the quest to have Israel successfully land on the moon. This is a huge achievement and a very positive island in a huge sea of negativity that often surrounds Israel.
The Israeli flag and the Torah are on the moon. They landed there with a crash rather than in the elegant way that we would have preferred. But they are there to stay. They may have crashed, but they did not burn. A marker has been established, and this is certainly not the last that we will hear of Israeli ventures in space. It is just the beginning.
Norwegian Attorney General Tor Aksel Busch last week decided that a comment cursing Jews, that was made by Norwegian Muslim rapper Kaveh Kholardi during a concert last year, is not anti-Semitic hate speech but rather legitimate criticism of Israel. Kholardi made the comment "f*cking Jews" at a family-friendly concert in June 2018 to promote diversity. It was not bad enough that Iranian-born Kholardi thought it was acceptable to make this comment at his concert. This has been exacerbated by the fact that two different public officials in Norway have ruled that this comment does not constitute hate speech. State Prosecutor Trude Antonsen found that,while derogatory and offensive, the remark did not constitute a criminal act. This may well be the case under the laws of Norway, in which case the laws need some adjustment. But the fact that the attorney general decided that this constitutes legitimate criticism of Israel, is perhaps more offensive than the original comment.
I am enraged by this decision for a number of reasons. When a performing artist stands up at a public concert and says "f*cking Jews", it seems to me that his comment is clear and speaks for itself. The fact that he may say afterwards that he was only joking does not unring the bell or make his statement any more acceptable. Surely there can be no clearer example of anti-Semitic speech than this statement. There is no interpretation required, and there can be no accusation that the statement was taken out of context. Such a statement is anti-Semitic no matter what the context. It is offensive, unacceptable and illegal in many countries around the world.
Why would anybody believe that this statement translates into criticism of Israel in any way? Aside from the fact that Israel happens to be a Jewish state, and that many of the Jews there would be extremely offended by the statement, there is no link between this curse of Jews and criticism of Israel. In my view, criticism of Israel may refer to particular policies of the government or actions of those acting on behalf of the state. A blanket curse of all Jews in this way has surely nothing to do with legitimate criticism of Israel. If, for one fleeting moment, I was to accept the fact that this curse was an act of criticism of Israel, could it in any way be considered to be legitimate? I have my sincere doubts. Just because I feel that the Norwegian attorney general has acted to embarrass his country and insult me and my people, I would not be justified to say "f*cking Norwegians" as a response. And I would not do so. Instead, I would be happier and more justified to say "f*ck Tor Aksel Busch for being an anti-Semite".
The notion that anti-Semitism can be justified and made politically correct by dressing it up as legitimate criticism of Israel needs to be opposed as strongly as possible. It is becoming more and more accepted that anti-Jewish rhetoric and actions are OK because Israel is deserving of criticism. It is equally common-place that anti-Semitism is expressed as criticism of Israel. This legitmisation is reinforced when international bodies and representatives of national governments confirm its acceptability. It should be clear that this is not acceptable, and that Jews and Israel will not tolerate it. The fact that Israel gets involved in the protection of Jews and Jewish rights around the world, does not justify anti-Semitism being disguised as legitimate criticism of Israel.
Mr. Busch should be ashamed of his position and his statement on this matter. He is clearly part of the problem, and not part of the solution. It is shameful that people like him are left to be the guardians and judges of what is hate speech and what is acceptable. This act requires the Norwegian government to fire him from his position without delay, and condemn him in the strongest possible terms. The Norwegian government and Norwegian people should be embarrassed of this decision, and they become complicit by not acting to reverse it.
As Jews, we have come to expect anti-Semitic rhetoric from the general public, particularly those who come from backgrounds that typically hold an entrenched and natural hate towards Jews. In recent years, laws have been enacted to protect us from having to tolerate hate speech, laws that also serve to protect other minority groups. These laws become a joke if they are left under the auspices of people like Tor Aksel Busch to interpret and implement. This effectively reinforces anti-Semitism at an institutional and governmental level. The last time that this happened was in the lead-up to the annihilation of 6 million Jews as part of an anti-Semitic genocide sponsored by states and governments, This will never be allowed to happen again, in spite of haters like Tor Aksel Busch.

When Your Trademark Licensor is in Financial Distress
IPWatchdog
By Kenneth A. Rosen and Philip J. Gross
"As more companies with IP (and specifically trademark) licenses are forced into chapter 11 as a result of the ongoing pandemic, we expect to see more chapter 11 debtors seek to re-negotiate trademark license agreements, or seek to sell rights related to such agreements, rather than reject the agreements outright."
Your company and its business have been built around the strength of a trademark license from a third-party licensor. You have invested heavily in the brand.
Now, however, your trademark licensor is in financial distress. Bankruptcy is not beyond the realm of possibility. Perhaps the licensor has asked to renegotiate the terms of the trademark license or threatened to terminate the license once a chapter 11 bankruptcy case is filed. What are the respective rights of the distressed trademark licensor and your company, as trademark licensee, in this situation? Is your company at risk of losing everything invested in reliance on the license?

Q: How to use MySql query queue in PHP I am working on a site where it will sell some digital products, I am using PHP (PDO) with MySql. The site ran good so far, but as the user base develops I am facing some issues.
If the stock of the product is only 1, and 2 users placed an order at the same time, the database is going into -1 and the order is getting confirmed for both of the users. How can I queue the query so that the users come one by one?
$res = $db->query('SELECT * FROM `mytable` WHERE true', PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

A: Fetch orders from Database,before processing your logic,put first record status as processing and  then after all your logic update record status as normal state.Main thing here is that,fetch data from database with following query.
"select * from data_table where status='available' ".
It's may be helpful.
