Repeal of s51(3) of the Australian Competition and Consumer Act 2010
Gemma Smith, solicitor at James & Wells, provides an examination into the key issues following the removal of IP exemptions in s 51(3) of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, including the next steps for businesses.
Historic intellectual property (IP) exemptions provided in section 51(3) of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA) were removed on 13 September 2019. Businesses that licence or assign IP rights need to review existing and future arrangements to ensure that they comply with the newly amended CCA.
The repeal means that licensing or assigning IP rights, just like any other commercial transaction, will be subject to the rules prohibiting anti-competitive conduct under the CCA.
The repeal of section 51(3) of the CCA came into effect on 13 September 2019.
Section 51(3) used to exempt licensing or assignment of certain IP rights from most of the anti-competition law prohibitions in the CCA.
Following the repeal, IP rights will be subject to the anti-competitive conduct prohibitions of the CCA, like any other business deal.
The following prohibitions (previously the subject of exemptions) apply to IP deals:
cartel conduct (Division 1 of Part IV of the CCA);
making or giving effect to a contract, arrangement, or understanding, or engaging in a concerted practice for the purpose, or with the effect or likely effect of substantially lessening competition (section 45 will of the CCA); and
engaging in exclusive dealing with a purpose, the effect or likely effect of substantially lessening competition (section 47 of the CCA).
The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) has released guidelines to assist with the transitional process. These guidelines set out the ACCC's current understanding and interpretation of the law following the repeal.
The repeal applies to existing and future licences, assignments, contracts and arrangements.
Businesses are strongly urged to review their IP arrangements to ensure they comply with the CCA.
Under section 51(3) of the CCA, licensing or assigning certain IP rights (including, patents, registered designs, copyright and eligible circuit layout rights) were not subject to certain anti-competitive provisions.
The exemptions covered cartel conduct, exclusive dealing and other arrangements which substantially lessen competition, but did not extend to misuse of market power or resale price maintenance.
After recommendations from the Harper Competition Policy Review and the Productivity Commission's Intellectual property arrangements inquiry section 51(3) was repealed.
The ACCC considered that the repeal would not impact the majority of IP rights arrangements. It also acknowledged that the exclusive nature of IP rights is an important incentive for parties to invest in innovation and commercialisation.
The effect of the repeal
Upon the repeal of section 51(3) the following prohibitions, previously the subject of exemptions, will apply to IP deals:
making or giving effect to a contract, arrangement, or understanding, or engaging in a concerted practice for the purpose, or with the effect or likely effect, of substantially lessening competition (section 45 will of the CCA); and
Cartel Conduct (Division 1 of Part IV of the CCA)
The CCA Guidelines set out four categories of cartel conduct that are prohibited:
Price-fixing: when competitors agree on price restrictions with the purpose or likely effect of fixing or maintaining prices;
Output restrictions: when competitors agree to prevent, restrict or limit the volume or type of particular goods or services available;
Market sharing: when competitors agree to divide up or allocate customers, suppliers or territories among themselves rather than allowing a competitive market;
Bid rigging: when two or more competitors agree that they will not compete genuinely with each other.
Contracts, arrangements, understandings and concerted practices substantially lessening competition (section 45 of the CCA)
Section 45 of the CCA prohibits a corporation from making or giving effect to a contract, arrangement, or understanding, or engaging in a concerted practice, for the purpose, or with the effect or likely effect, of substantially lessening competition.
Conditions such as time restrictions, grant back provisions, and no challenge provisions which are commonly included in IP licenses may be vulnerable following the repeal.
However, the conduct is still required to meet the 'substantial lessening of competition' threshold before it will contravene section 45. When reaching a view of whether conduct substantially lessens competition, the ACCC will consider a variety of factors such as the commercial rationale behind the conduct, the market and the 'future with and without' test (which involves a comparison of a situation where an arrangement is in place, to where there is no arrangement at all) and the impact on the relevant market.
The ACCC Guidelines give a number of examples to show how the ACCC will approach the 'substantial lessening of competition' threshold. These examples show that time restrictions, grant backs (which require the licensee to license the IP in any improvements made to the licensed IP back to the licensor), and no challenge provisions will only occasionally reach the 'substantial lessening of competition' threshold.
The ACCC considers for example that a licence restriction that extends beyond the statutory lifetime of the underlying IP rights is unlikely to suddenly substantially lessen competition simply because the statutory lifetime ends, unless there is also a major change in the competitive dynamics in the relevant market place.
Exclusive dealing (section 47 of the CCA)
Section 47 of the CCA prohibits a corporation from engaging in exclusive dealing which has the purpose, effect or likely effect of substantially lessening competition.
According to the CCA Guidelines, exclusive dealing broadly includes:
Only supplying goods or services, or give a particular price or discount on the condition that the purchaser buys goods or services from a particular third party; or
Refusing to supply goods or services unless the intending purchaser agrees not to:
buy goods or services of a particular kind or description from a competitor;
re-supply goods or services of a particular kind or description acquired from a competitor; or
re-supply goods or services of a particular kind acquired from the supplier to a particular third party.
IP licenses which contain exclusivity conditions akin to the above) will be prohibited where they have the purpose or likely effect of substantially lessening competition.
Certification trade marks (CTM) denote independent certification by the owner that the goods or services in respect of which they are used possess certain defined characteristics. Businesses that wish to register a CTM must apply to the Registrar of Trade Marks and propose rules that will govern the use of the CTM. ACCC approval is now required.
In making its assessment on whether to approve a CTM, the ACCC will analyse whether the proposed CTM rules would require or encourage CTM users to engage in anti-competitive conduct. Sensibly, the ACCC states in its Guidelines it does not foresee a scenario where it would approve CTM rules and later take action against parties conducting themselves in accordance with those approved rules.
Next steps for businesses
Review current arrangements
Businesses should review their current IP deals. The Harper review has singled out the bio-technology, pharmaceutical and telecommunications industries as those most likely to be affected.
Potential risks
Potential penalties for businesses contravening the anti-competitive provisions of the CCA can be up to the greater of:
$10 million dollars;
Three times the value of the benefit from the contravening conduct; or
Where the benefit cannot be calculated, 10% of the corporation's annual turnover in the last 12 months.
The maximum penalty for individuals (including directors and employees) is $500,000 per breach.
Conditions to consider
The types of conditions worth careful attention include:
Patent pooling arrangements;
'grant back' obligations (which require the licensee to license the IP in any improvements made to the licensed IP back to the licensor);
Exclusive cross-licencing arrangements;
'pay for delay' arrangements (where a patent holder pays a competitor to delay entry into the market);
Market sharing arrangements;
Conditions relating to the quantity, quality and price of goods or services;
Conditions which restrict a licensee from supplying goods to certain parties or into certain territories; and
Field of use restrictions.
Authorisation and notification
Where there are conditions which may be of concern, businesses should consider seeking authorisation from or lodging a notification with the ACCC.
Where a business is concerned that a contemplated conduct might contravene the CCA, it can seek authorisation from ACCC by filing an application and submissions. The ACCC may grant authorisation to a business where the proposed conduct is likely to result in a net public benefit.
An alternative process to authorisation is notification. This is available where parties propose to engage small business collective bargaining, exclusive dealing or resale price maintenance.
Both authorisations and notifications are public processes. Any application made to the ACCC will be available for interested parties to comment on before a decision is made.
Once authorisation or notification is obtained, a business will receive statutory protection from the ACCC for that conduct; neither the ACC nor any third party may take legal action against that business

Nerds by Nature is the fifth extended play by electronic duo Pegboard Nerds. Nerds by Nature was released on 13 January 2017, by independent electronic music label Monstercat.

Background and composition

When announcing Nerds by Nature, Odden and Parsberg stated "We are very excited for this release! It went back and forth from being an EP and an album but ultimately we ended up with an EP as we felt that would be a stronger package. We're stoked to have people finally hear the tracks in their full glory".

Reception and release
Nerds by Nature gained generally positive reviews with Cameron Sunkel of EDM.com stating "there's perhaps no better time to be a fan, as this EP truly has something to offer everyone". Landon Fleury of YourEDM stated "Though Nerds by Nature contains much of the duo's highest quality material, this clumsy disorganization makes the EP difficult to enjoy as a solid body of work". Harsh Makwana stated "It's quite apparent that Nerds By Nature is one heck of a musical ride that you wouldn't want to miss".

Nerds by Nature (The Remixes)
A remix EP was released on 16 May 2016. The EP features 5 remixes from various artists including RIOT, Virtual Riot, Andy C, Gammer, and Quiet Disorder as well as a vocal VIP of Melodymania featuring Anna Yvette as the vocalist.

Sat., December 14, 2013 12:01 a.m. | Saturday, December 14, 2013 12:01 a.m.
There's a jolly, gray-haired man with thick glasses who has walked the halls of Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh for more than 30 years.
His name is Albert, and he shines shoes.
He pushes a purple cart filled with brushes, soap and polish, charging $5 for a shoeshine.
Everyone at Children's knows Albert Lexie because he is a very generous man. Since 1982, he has donated more than $200,000 in tips to the Children's Hospital Foundation Free Care Fund. That's a lot of tips from a man who grew up in a Monessen housing project.
The giving will come to an end on Tuesday, when Albert, 71, will retire. Hospital officials plan a big celebration in February to acknowledge his contributions. You'll probably see Albert on national TV again; that's how popular he is.
When I saw him this week, it was the first time I had met with him since 2000, when I interviewed him for a story about his appearance on the "Oprah" show. Wearing blue sweatpants with the Children's Hospital logo, he greeted me with a soft handshake and a warm smile.
Albert's kids, he calls them. He loves them so much that on Tuesdays and Thursdays, when he is scheduled to shine shoes, he wakes up at 2 a.m. He hops on a bus by 5:10 a.m. and makes it to Lawrenceville by 7:30 a.m. He's shining shoes by 9 a.m., often for the same 100 or so regulars, including physicians and employees.
Albert, who has a developmental disability, made his first shoeshine box in a shop class at Monessen High School. He became interested in fundraising after he watched the late KDKA-TV newscaster Patti Burns during one of Children's telethons in 1981. He had a crush on Burns and gave her a kiss the next year while delivering his first donation of $700.
"She was so nice," he said about the experience.
Albert's departure will be felt throughout the hospital, where he is a celebrity of sorts. In addition to his "Oprah" experience, he's been interviewed by Jane Pauley, the former host of NBC's "Today" show. Yes, she got a kiss from him, too.
Over the past few weeks, on his farewell "Victory Tour," he has been especially popular. When he showed up at the hospital's faculty building last week, more than seven doctors gave him their shoes at the same time. The doctors walked around in their socks while Albert did his job.
After he leaves, Albert won't be far removed from the hospital. His picture is on the hospital's colorful history wall, on the same mural with some of Children's medical pioneers like Dr. Thomas Starzl, the famed transplant surgeon.
Happy retirement, Albert. Your kids will miss you.

Israel Ranked Eighth in World for Digital Quality of Life
Surfshark rankings put Israel first for internet affordability, but 59th for internet quality

If you're going to be working at home, Israel isn't a bad place to be doing it: Israel ranks eighth among 85 countries around the world in the Digital Quality of Life Index compiled by the virtual private network provider Surfshark.
Israel ranked No. 1 in the world for internet affordability, but the survey also found that Israel was in just 59th place for internet quality. The survey looked at 12 parameters that include such factors as price, quality, speed and stability of the network, level of government digital services and cybersecurity.
How Trump demolished dishonest Netanyahu's non-denial denial
Digital life has taken on added importance as the coronavirus pandemic forces more people to work online from home.
Ahead of Israel in the rankings were Denmark, Sweden Canada, France, Norway, the Netherlands and the U.K. The United States ranked only 22nd, although it ranked third for government digital services. The 85 countries surveyed account for more than 80% of the world's population, Surfshark said.
Israel ranked No. 1 for affordability, based on the cost of the cheapest mobile and broadband plans available in the country. On internet security and e-government, Israel ranked 28th and for electronic infrastructure it was No 31.
Although Surfshark said digital quality of life was correlated with gross domestic product per capita, in the Middle East, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia failed to provide digital wellbeing for their citizens commensurate with their wealth due to low levels of internet quality and e-security. Israel's digital quality of life was higher than its per capita GDP would suggest, the report said.
Globally, Surfshark found that internet affordability was highly variable between countries. However, in three-quarters of the countries surveyed, people have to work more than the global average to afford the internet. The global average to pay for a month of the cheapest broadband was three hours and 48 minutes; for mobile it was just 10 minutes. In Israel, the cheapest mobile (of 1 megabyte) cost just 17 seconds of pay and 23 minutes for broadband.

Maintaining hygiene of your pet is one of the concerns that should be considered seriously. A messy pet invites a number of diseases. One of such health issues is ear mites in Bullmastiff dog. Bullmastiff dog is a hybrid dog breed which is produced by the breeding of Bulldog and Mastiff dog.
It contains traits of both dog breeds. Ear mites in Bullmastiff dog are one of the most common ear problems. In this disorder, the ectoparasite resides in the ear canal of the dog. It may spread to other parts of the body as well. These seem like tiny spider or ticks.
Let us have guidance about ear mites in Bullmastiff dog and satisfy the most frequently searched query regarding it such as what are the signs of ear mites in a Bullmastiff dog, can ear mites be transferred to humans, are ear mites contagious and how to get rid of ear mites in a Bullmastiff dog.
What are the signs of ear mites in a bullmastiff dog?
Immediately take your beloved bullmastiff dog to the vet on observing any of these signs. There can be single or combination of these signs.
Can ear mites be transferred to humans?
Yes, if proper treatment is not being followed then the mites may spread to other parts of the dog's body. Further progressing of the disease can infect the nearby people especially the owner and the children that play with the dog. These have the ability spread quickly. Bullmastiff dog usually live their life for 8 to 10 years.
Ear mites are contagious and can be transmitted to other people and pet on physical contact. Hence, it is required to avoid physical contact with the infected dog.
An infected animal contains debris, dirt, and wax in its ear on which the parasite resides. These are usually brown tiny critters which keep on crawling and seems extremely messy.
How to get rid of ear mites in a bullmastiff?
The right way of combating with the ear mite is to get the treatment form a vet. Immediately take your beloved dog to the vet. He will diagnose the pet and recommend the treatment according to the situation.
Many of the people consider home remedy too for this condition. It includes the use of baking soda and warm water. Make a solution of 1 teaspoon of baking soda in water and use this on the ear of your pet with the aid of a cotton ball. Treatment begins with the cleaning of the ear.
Afterward, the anti-parasite medication is being administered to the infected pet. Moreover, anti-inflammatory drugs are also prescribed to reduce the inflammation of the ear.

Newton House ist ein Gebäude auf der Hebrideninsel Islay. Es liegt etwa 900 m östlich der Ortschaft Bridgend südlich der A846 zwischen Bridgend und Ballygrant. Der Sorn passiert das Gebäude wenige hundert Meter südlich. Am 28. August 1980 wurde das Gebäude in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der Kategorie C aufgenommen.

Newton House war einst Teil einer Siedlung, die zwischenzeitlich aufgegeben wurde. Zwischen 1816 und 1839 wurde dort eine Whiskybrennerei namens Newton betrieben, von der heute noch einzelne Gebäude als Außengebäude von Newton House erhalten sein könnten.

Beschreibung
Das exakte Baudatum des Hauses ist nicht angegeben, sodass nur das frühe 19. Jahrhundert als Bauzeitraum angegeben werden kann. Das einstöckige Gebäude mit ausgebautem Dachgeschoss wurde in traditioneller Bauweise errichtet. Es schließt mit einem schiefergedeckten Walmdach ab. Die Fassaden sind in der traditionellen Harling-Technik verputzt. Von den beiden nördlich gelegenen Außengebäuden besitzt eines ebenfalls ein Walmdach, das zweite schließt mit einem Pyramidendach ab.

Gone are the days when you can only purchase items from the mall and various random stores. Technology has now made it possible for you to buy from various online stores. You can actually cover more stores in a limited amount of time because with just a few clicks or just a few taps, you can check out all the things that the store has to offer. You can then decide if you would purchase from that store or check out the other items from various stores.
What are the factors that you have to consider before you purchase anything online?
Quality – It will be hard to tell what the quality of the item is through pictures because admittedly, some items are photogenic. There are also some items that are made with great quality but because the pictures are not that good, it is not obvious anymore.
Price – You always need to consider the price before you purchase anything. Even if you plan on going clothes shopping, you know that you have a budget to follow. If you would be purchasing items that are too expensive, you will only end up with a few items. It can be bad if the quality of the items you purchased are not good too.
Reviews – Whether you are purchasing high pressure shower heads review or toilet reviews for your new bathroom, you still need to make sure that you will check out the reviews given by people not only about the products that you are considering but also the store selling the items. Do you think that you will be happy with the service that will be given to you by the online store?
Payment Methods – How are you going to pay for the items that you have purchased? If you are going to pay for a new sink, how will you pay for it? Choosing an online store that has a wide variety of payment methods can be beneficial for you because you can make a choice. If you do not want to pay using your credit card, the store will most likely have other payment options that you will be more comfortable using.
Ordering – When you order, will you be required to fill up a form or will you simply need to double click on items to add them to your cart? How easy it will be for you to order will let you decide if you should purchase items from that site again or not.
All the things that are mentioned above can all be ready and available online. You just have to know where to look. There are a lot of review sites right now that are also mobile friendly so you will have no issues checking them out through your phone whether you are a Blackberry, Apple, Android or Windows phone user, you will be able to see reviews clearly. Check out more than one review site before making decisions as reviews may vary.

Bible reading marathon in April
Mar 27, 2013 • March 27, 2013 • 1 minute read
A look at the many translations of the Bible will be an emphasis during the 13th Proclamation marathon Bible reading event in April.
The Canadian Bible Society sponsors the annual event, which will take place this year at Grace Anglican Church, 4 Pearl St., April 8-12 and April 15-19, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
"This event has grown to have a lot of interest in it," said organizer Elizabeth Diegel.
Last year, about 300 readers hailing from about 30 area churches participated in the readings, although readers don't have to be associated with any church.
Using a program that includes alternating readings from the Old Testament, New Testament and Psalms, readers do public readings of the scriptures. All are welcome to stop in to listen.
"We do this to create interest in Bible reading and interest in the number of translations and languages that are out there. Usually we see at least 15 languages used for Bible readings and up to 30 translations."
Diegel said there are only few slots left for readers.
On the last night of the 10-day event, the final readings are combined with special music, "really great singing" and a special presentation, she said.
"This year we have a super speaker coming - Hart Wiens - who is in charge of translations for the Canadian Bible Society. He has a multi-media production to present."
For more information, contact Diegel at 519-753-5472

Doesn't this kind of assume that "happiness" behaves like a single monotonically increasing value, or to put it another way that mind-states can be topologically sorted into a set of sequences with an unambiguous global maximum?
Given that it's possible to create multivariate constructs that have no such sorting (google 'election paradoxes'), it seems counterintuitive that something as complex as a mind state can be treated like apple pies (let alone Apple, Banana, and Coconut).
So I think you're philosophically dividing by zero somewhere in your assumption that such a "friendly AI" can exist.
In general we might ask the question, what sorts of human value would evaporate if other creatures (FAIs, ems, etc.) could do everything any member of Homo sapiens could and more cheaply?
And that requires answering the question, what is the meaning of life? A pretty tough issue!
Coming up with questions and learning to understand the answers, which gives rise to ever more questions.

Q: Java ResultSet copy to generic object or list I'm aware of the issues with using ResultSet and have seen examples about extracting data into an object (or list), however, I'm wanting to do this in a generic manner i.e. without having to be aware of the class.
Is there a way to do this such that the result would be an Object or List that I could then iterate using Reflection?
The solutions I've examined that either don't seem to work or require class awareness of the target class include:

*

*How to copy resultset into object?

*Copying Java ResultSet
I've also tried ResultSetMapper (http://resultsetmapper.sourceforge.net/) and it seems to require the class as well.  I really just want an Object or List that I can act on.

A: This is pretty generic:
Statement st = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Clients WHERE ID <= 2");

// collect column names
List<String> columnNames = new ArrayList<>();
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
for (int i = 1; i <= rsmd.getColumnCount(); i++) {
    columnNames.add(rsmd.getColumnLabel(i));
}

int rowIndex = 0;
while (rs.next()) {
    rowIndex++;
    // collect row data as objects in a List

        String objType = "null";
        String objString = "";

            objString = columnObject.toString() + " ";
            objType = columnObject.getClass().getName();
        }
        System.out.printf("  %s: %s(%s)%n",
                columnNames.get(colIndex), objString, objType);
    }
}

Steven LynchEditor of the updated edition of Wisden on the Ashes
Steven Lynch won the Wisden Cricket Monthly Christmas Quiz three years running before the then-editor said "I can't let you win it again, but would you like a job?" That lasted for 15 years, before he moved across to the Wisden website when that was set up in 2000. Following the merger of the two sites early in 2003 he was appointed as the global editor of Wisden Cricinfo. In June 2005 he became the deputy editor of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack. He continues to contribute the popular weekly "Ask Steven" question-and-answer column on ESPNcricinfo, and edits the Wisden Guide to International Cricket.
The return of the regular Monday column in which Steven Lynch answers your questions about (almost) any aspect of cricket:
How many England cricketers were born in Ireland, like Ed Joyce? asked Ken Driver from Belfast
Dublin-born Ed Joyce - who rather oddly made his official one-day international debut in the same match as his brother, Dominick, but for the other side - is the sixth Irish-born man to play for England. The first two were also born in Dublin: Leland Hone, who never played county cricket, toured Australia in 1878-79 and played in the Test at Melbourne, while Sir Timothy O'Brien, who also played for Middlesex, won the first of his five Test caps against Australia at Old Trafford in 1884. In 1888-89 Joseph McMaster played a Test (in fact his only first-class match) for England in South Africa: he was born in Gilford in County Down. Essex's Frederick Fane, who was born at Curragh Camp in County Kildare, won 14 caps in the first decade of the 20th century, and actually captained England in the first three Tests in Australia in 1907-98 when the appointed captain Arthur Jones was injured. Many years later Martin McCague, who was born in Larne in Northern Ireland but brought up in Australia, won three Test caps, the first against Australia at Trent Bridge in 1993. Four Irish-born men have played Tests for other countries: Tom Horan (born Midleton, Co. Cork) and Thomas Kelly (Waterford) for Australia, and Clement Johnson (Carberry) and Major Robert Poore (Dublin) for South Africa.
My friend challenged me to name the six England players from the 1992 World Cup final who weren't born in England - I thought I'd got them, but he says Robin Smith is wrong. Who's right? asked Anand Mughal from Delhi
Well, you're both right in a way. Robin Smith was born outside England - at Durban, in South Africa - but he didn't play in the 1992 World Cup final against Pakistan at Melbourne, although he was in the 14-man squad. England's XI that day included Graeme Hick (born in Zimbabwe), Allan Lamb (South Africa), Chris Lewis (Guyana), Dermot Reeve (Hong Kong), Derek Pringle (Kenya) and Phillip DeFreitas (Dominica).
I was sorry to hear of the death of Wasim Raja. I remember watching him score a fine Test century at the Kensington Oval - how many others did he make? asked Roy Atkin from Barbados
The innings you're talking about was one of 117 not out against a strong West Indian attack including Croft, Roberts, Garner and Holder at Bridgetown in February 1977. That was the second of Wasim Raja's eventual four Test centuries: the others were 107 not out against West Indies at Karachi in 1974-75, 125 v India at Jullundur in 1983-84, and 112 against England at Faisalabad in 1983-84. Rameez Raja, Wasim's younger brother, made his Test debut in the first match of that series.
Who was the oldest player to make his Test debut? asked Marvin Chester from Guyana
The oldest man to make his Test debut started in the very first Test of all, at Melbourne in 1876-77: England's James Southerton, a slowish bowler who played for Surrey and Sussex, who was 49 years and 119 days old when that inaugural match started. In second place is Miran Bux, who was over 47 when he first played for Pakistan against India at Lahore in 1954-55. More recently Omar Henry made his Test debut for South Africa when he was past his 40th birthday. For a full list of the oldest Test debutants, click here.
I enjoyed the article on Cricinfo last week about the 1934 Ashes tour, and was reminded of Don Bradman's amazing run-scoring feats. What was his overall record in England? asked Frank Waters of Banbury
Don Bradman was remarkably consistent on his four tours of England - especially since several good judges, among them England's Percy Fender, had predicted that his technique wouldn't suit English conditions. On his first tour, in 1930, Bradman piled up 2960 runs at 98.66, with ten centuries. A record 974 of those runs came in the Tests, at an average of 139.14. In 1934, when as that article mentions, he was troubled by illness, he still made 2020 runs at 84.16 on the tour, with 758 at 94.75 in the Tests. In 1938, recovered and now captain, he made 2429 runs all told at 115.66, with 434 at 108.50 in the Tests. And in 1948, on what's become known as the "Invincibles" tour, 39-year-old Bradman made 2428 runs at 89.92, with 508 runs at 72.57 in the Tests. In total, that's 9837 runs in 92 first-class matches in England, at an average of 96.44, with 41 hundreds. In 19 Tests in England The Don made 2674 runs at 102.84.
I would like to know what happened to Brian Murphy, who captained Zimbabwe in between Andy Flower and Heath Streak. I heard that in Sri Lanka he was the first captain of a Test team to drop himself. Is this correct? asked Bjorn Mordt
Legspinner Brian Murphy did captain Zimbabwe in a Test and three one-day internationals in 2001-02. I'm not sure that he left himself out - reports at the time suggested he had a hand injury after the first Test in Bangladesh, and Stuart Carlisle took over. In any case he wouldn't have been the first captain to drop himself - England's Mike Denness did that in Australia in 1974-75. Murphy quit Zimbabwe in 2003, and took a job coaching at the University of Cape Town in South Africa: as far as we know he is still there. A couple of years ago he joined the "Zimbabwe Lions" fund-raising tour of England.
And finally, a plea that I can't answer, can anyone else help? from Tony Woodward in Canada
"I'm trying to complete a humorous verse I heard decades ago, which used cricketing terms. I've remembered most of it, but I am missing a couple of lines in the middle. Can anyone fill in the missing lines?"
With my arms around her Boundary
I said "Will you be mine?"
As I admired her two Fine Legs
And splendid Bodyline.
[Darn, I've forgotten the next two lines and I can't find them anywhere!]
"Did you bowl the Maiden Over?"
"No, she belted me for Six!"

A Harlot's Progress, Plate VI
A Harlot's Progress is a series of six paintings and engravings by the English artist William Hogarth. The modern moral series was first published in print form in 1732, just after an official crackdown on prostitution had begun, focused specifically on Covent Garden. They show the story of a young woman, Moll Hackabout, who arrives in London from the country alone and and vulnerable and is tricked into prostitution by a devious brothel keeper.
The sixth and final plate of the series depicts Moll's friends, mostly prostitutes, gathered around her coffin in a dilapidated room. Moll died at the age of twenty-three, but nobody mourns her passing at this mock vigil. A clergyman gropes beneath one woman's skirt, whilst the undertaker makes advances on another. Only her old serving woman has some sense of decorum as she stares angrily at the clergyman. Moll's young son sits below his mother's coffin playing with a spinning top.
This print is produced on St Cuthbert's Mill special acid free archival artboard. The overall loose print size is 33cm x 24cm. The framed print is presented in 20mm black wood archivist moulding, complete with rope hanger over hardboard back with a cream board mount. The overall size is 43cm x 33cm.

The Western Canada Jewish Book Awards, presented by the Cherie Smith JCC Jewish Book Festival, took place on April 26. Self-proclaimed book lover Daniella Givon, who is part of the JBF committee and was chair of the awards committee, introduced the evening.
This year, four awards were presented, as chosen by the selection committee of former librarian Linda Bonder (Victoria); author and librarian Elisabeth Kushner (Vancouver); author and poet Dave Margoshes (near Saskatoon); writer, teacher and critic Norman Ravvin (Montreal); and Judith Saltman, professor emerita at the University of British Columbia School of Library, Archival and Information Studies. The winners were Calgary-based Willis for The Dark and Other Love Stories (Diamond Foundation Prize for fiction); Tilar J. Mazzeo, who divides her time between Maine, New York and Vancouver Island, for Irena's Children (Pinsky Givon Family Prize for non-fiction); Vancouver's Watts and Shoemaker for Seeking Refuge (Jonathan and Heather Berkowitz Prize for children and youth literature); and Frie, professor of education at Simon Fraser University and affiliate professor of psychiatry at UBC, for Not in My Family: German Memory and Responsibility after the Holocaust (Kahn Family Foundation Prize for writing on the Holocaust).
At the awards ceremony, each of the donors, or their representative, announced the winner of their sponsored award, which included a cash component. The winners – except for Mazzeo, who could not attend – read excerpts from their books and were interviewed briefly by Marsha Lederman, Western arts correspondent for the Globe and Mail.
After an open Q&A with the authors, JCC Jewish Book Festival director Dana Camil Hewitt wound up the event with thanks to the sponsors, judges, awards committee and audience.

The Centre for Judaism of the Lower Fraser Valley is looking for nominations for its annual Lamplighter Award, which honours a young person who has performed an outstanding act of community service.
Candidates must be between the ages of 6 and 18 and submission of potential recipients must include two references describing the child's community service. The chosen lamplighter will receive the award during Chanukah at an evening ceremony at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre.
To nominate a candidate for the award, contact Schtroks as soon as possible at [email protected].
This summer, David Granirer received a Meritorious Service Medal from the Governor General of Canada. The award recognizes a deed or activity that has been performed in a highly professional manner, or according to a very high standard: often innovative, this deed or activity sets an example for others to follow, improves the quality of life of a community and brings benefit or honour to Canada.
Granirer is a counselor, stand-up comic and mental health keynote speaker. Granirer, who himself has depression, has taught stand-up comedy to recovering addicts and cancer patients, and founded Stand Up for Mental Health, a program teaching comedy to people with mental health issues, in 2004. He has trained Stand Up for Mental Health groups in partnership with various mental health organizations in more than 50 cities in Canada, the United States and Australia. His work on mental health is featured by media worldwide and has garnered several awards.
Granirer also teaches Stand-Up Comedy Clinic at Langara College, and many of his students have gone on to become professional comics.
This year's Mayor's Arts Award for Community Engaged Arts went to Earle Peach. A singer, songwriter, composer, conductor, arranger, teacher and performer, Peach leads four choirs in the city and hosts a monthly community coffee house in Mount Pleasant. He teaches privately, and records musicians for demos and albums. He performs with Barbara Jackson as a duo called Songtree and also has a band called Illiteratty.
The emerging artist honour went to Ariel Martz-Oberlander, a theatre artist, writer and teacher. As a Jewish settler on Coast Salish territories with diasporic and refugee ancestry, her practice is rooted in a commitment to place-based accountability through decolonizing and solidarity work. She divides her time between theatre and community organizing, and specializing in creative protest tactics on land and water.
Martz-Oberlander is a facilitator with the True Voice Theatre Project, producing new shows by residents of the Downtown Eastside and vulnerably housed youth, in collaboration with the Gathering Place and Covenant House. Her most recent work, created with support from the LEAP program, won a research and development prize from the Arts Club. Martz-Oberlander is also the associate producer for Vines Festival, presenting accessible, free eco-art in Vancouver parks. Good art is accountable to the community, raises up voices rarely heard and is vital to repairing our world.
On Oct. 3, the Koffler Centre of the Arts announced the four winners of the 2017 Vine Awards for Canadian Jewish Literature, all of whom were on hand at the award luncheon at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Toronto.
The other winners were Peter Behrens' Carry Me (House of Anansi Press) for fiction and Matti Friedman's Pumpkinflowers (McClelland & Stewart) for history.
The history shortlist included Max Eisen's By Chance Alone (Harper Collins Publishers) and Ester Reiter's A Future Without Hate or Need: The Promise of the Jewish Left in Canada (Between the Lines). Runners-up in the fiction category were Eric Beck Rubin's School of Velocity (Doubleday Canada) and Danila Botha's For All the Men (and Some of the Women) I've Known (Tightrope Books). In non-fiction, Sarah Barmak's Closer: Notes from the Orgasmic Frontier of Female Sexuality (Coach House Books), Judy Batalion's White Walls (Berkley/Penguin Random House) and David Leach's Chasing Utopia (ECW Press) were runners-up, while Deborah Kerbel's Feathered (Kids Can Press) and Tilar Mazzeo and Mary Farrell's Irena's Children (Margaret K. McElderry Books) were on the children's/young adult short list.
In September 2017, local community member Dr. Arthur Wolak was elected for a three-year term to the board of governors of Gratz College, a private liberal arts college in suburban Philadelphia. Founded in 1895, Gratz is the oldest independent and pluralistic college for Jewish studies in North America. Accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, Gratz is also recognized by Israel's Ministry of Education and Culture. Through its undergraduate and graduate programs, Gratz educates students to become effective educators, administrators and community leaders.
Seeking Refuge, written by Irene Watts and illustrated by Kathryn Shoemaker, has been shortlisted for the 2017 Vine Awards for Canadian Jewish Literature. Published by Tradewind Books, the graphic novel is one of the three finalists in the children's/young adult category.
While this year's Vine winners will be announced Oct. 3 at a luncheon in Toronto, Vancouverites can meet Watts and Shoemaker later this month at Word Vancouver, and again at the Vancouver Writers Festival in October. The multiple-award-winners, who are both founding members of the Children's Writers and Illustrators of British Columbia Society, have worked together on several publications, including Good-bye Marianne, a graphic novel based on Watts' play and subsequent novel of the same name, which also included Shoemaker illustrations.
In Good-bye Marianne, readers meet Marianne Kohn. Set in Berlin in 1938, a week after Kristallnacht, the 11-year-old struggles to understand and cope with the increasing restrictions placed on Jews in Nazi Germany, and the fierce antisemitism she and her family encounter, with a couple of exceptions. The story begins with Marianne not being allowed into her school – all of the Jewish students have been prohibited from attending. As well, her father has disappeared. The situation, as we know from history, worsens, and her mother makes the heartrending decision to send Marianne with "a group of 200 children who are leaving for homes in England," one of the first groups to be rescued in the Kindertransport.
Seeking Refuge sees Marianne safely to London, arriving Dec. 2, 1938. While protected from physical harm in her new country, Marianne does not escape antisemitism and poor treatment.
In an interview with CBC, Watts commented on Shoemaker's choice of medium for Seeking Refuge, noting how the grey of the pencil was so well-suited to the story.
The possibility of using Seeking Refuge as a way in which to teach younger readers about the current refugee crisis has not gone unnoticed by reviewers and interviewers.
Marianne's story is similar to – but not the same as – that of Watts, who was educated in England and Wales after her escape from Berlin via the second rescue train in December 1938. Skipping ahead 30 years, she and her husband moved to Canada in 1968, she said, "to give our children a better future." They immigrated to Alberta.
A playwright and director for Theatre in Education and a drama teacher and consultant in England, Watts taught drama in Hobbema (now Maskwacis), where they lived for a short time before moving to Edmonton. In Edmonton, she was director of Citadel on Wheels and Wings, a children's touring company that traveled all over Alberta. "We even took our shows to schools in the Northwest Territories," she said, noting that, among the company's alumni are Jackson Davies and the late Susan Wright.
That Watts likes to write in different genres is clear from the way in which Seeking Refuge came into being.
"Good-bye Marianne began life as a play, which premièred at the Norman Rothstein Theatre in 1994," Watts explained. "It was produced by Carousel Theatre, and toured widely. It has had many productions, both in Canada and the U.S.A., and will be touring with Theatre New Brunswick for three months in the spring of 2018. I had been a playwright long before I became a novelist. I decided to write the novel because there was still much to say beyond the confines of the play. Kathy Lowinger, then publisher of Tundra Books, rescued the manuscript from the slush pile, and published it in 1998.
A Telling Time, which Shoemaker described as "a picture book for older children about the parallel stories of Queen Esther and how she saves her people and a 1939 secret Purim party," was recognized by the International Youth Library in Munich, Germany, with a 2006 White Raven special mention.
"For that book," said Shoemaker, who teaches children's literature at the University of British Columbia, "I did a huge amount of research. As well, Irene shared many resources with me.
Graphic novels were still a relatively new phenomenon at that time. "Other than Chester Brown's Louis Riel and books for adults, there were almost none," said Shoemaker. "It was a bit of challenge working with an editor who did not understand the form and also who didn't seem to understand how closely Irene and I work.
Watts and Shoemaker will be at Word Vancouver on Sept. 24, 12:45 p.m., at the main branch of Vancouver Public Library in the South Plaza (the Quay) and the Writers Fest on Oct. 18, 1 p.m., at Revue Stage on Granville Island. For more information on both of these festivals and for tickets to the latter ($17), visit wordvancouver.ca and writersfest.bc.ca, respectively.

Birthday Number 1
" I don't feel particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of things. Whether they're seen or not is another issue."
Meg Ryan is an American producer and one of the most successful actresses of the 1990s, mostly in romantic comedy films, such as Top Gun, When Harry Met Sally, Joe Versus The Volcano, Sleepless in Seattle, French Kiss, You've Got Mail, and Kate & Leopold.

I'm new to blender and I was wondering how to get custom bone shapes into a armature?
I searched the web but didn't find anything on the topic?
It's actually fairly simple: First, get your armature into "Pose" mode, then go to the Editing Menu (F9), you should now see a box for "Armature Bones", within that box is one labelled "OB:" just put the object name of your custom bone in that box. That's it.
On a side note, you may have to tweak the custom bone object a little in editing mode to make it be rotated and aligned properly. The custom bone populates based on its own center (the pink dot) and the root of the bone you are using it for.
A good idea is to create the custom Bone shape in the sam e window you created the bone in.
E.G. If you created it a bone is side view (3) Create the shape in the same view and there should be less tweaking to do.
Saying that there still may be a small amount of tweaking to do.
My question is, how to prevent this? Is there a tutorial for Custom Bone Shapes (already been in Wiki.blender )? I want to understand how to use properly this feature, I dont want to tweak the Bone or Shape in Pose mode, of course it would be easier, but If I'm rigging for animation, I use a lot the "rest position" so this isnt suitable for Animation propouses.
How can we create a object, in a way, that the size is immediatly sized as the substitue bone or from the size we initially created it ?! How to do that ?
If someone could help me out on this, I would apreciate it a lot!

Google launches new Bug Bounties vulnerability rewards platform
Google has announced a new Bug Bounties platform and community designed to host all its Vulnerability Rewards Programs (VRP) under the same roof.
Since launching its first VRP more than ten years ago, the company has rewarded 2,022 security researchers from 84 different countries worldwide for reporting over 11,000 bugs.
In all, Google says that the researchers have been rewarded $29,357,516 since January 2010, when it launched the Chromium vulnerability reward program.
Reward amounts paid for qualifying bugs through Google's VRPs range from $100 to $31,337, however, the total amount can drastically increase for exploit chains.
This is exactly what happened in the case of Alpha Lab's Guang Gong who received a $201,337 payout for a remote code execution exploit chain targeting Pixel 3 devices, his reward being the biggest single payout ever.
"To celebrate our anniversary and ensure the next 10 years are just as (or even more) successful and collaborative, we are excited to announce the launch of our new platform, bughunters.google.com," Google said.
"This new site brings all of our VRPs (Google, Android, Abuse, Chrome, and Play) closer together and provides a single intake form that makes it easier for bug hunters to submit issues."
Google Bug Bounties
The new VRP platform should provide researchers with per-country leaderboards, healthier competition via gamification, awards/badges for specific bugs, and more opportunities for interaction.
Google also launched a new Bug Hunter University, which would allow bug hunters to brush up on their skills or start a hunting learning streak.
The company says that patches submitted for open-source software are also eligible for rewards, just as research papers on the security of open-source projects.
"Since its inception, the VRP program has not only grown significantly in terms of report volume, but the team of security engineers behind it has also expanded – including almost 20 bug hunters who reported vulnerabilities to us and ended up joining the Google VRP team," Google added.
"That is why we are thrilled to bring you this new platform, continue to grow our community of bug hunters and support the skill development of up-and-coming vulnerability researchers."

The 1796 United States presidential election in Virginia took place as part of the 1796 United States presidential election. Voters chose 21 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Virginia voted for the Democratic-Republican candidate, Thomas Jefferson, over the Federalist candidate, John Adams. Jefferson won Virginia by a margin of 36.72%. Virginia chose electors by popular vote per electoral district and as such granted 1 electoral vote to John Adams.

Prior to the 12th Amendment, electors cast two votes, making no distinction if they were voting for Vice President or President, as such: Thomas Pinckney received 1 electoral vote, Aaron Burr received 1 electoral vote, Samuel Adams received 15 electoral votes, George Clinton received 3 electoral votes and George Washington received 1 electoral vote. It was well-known in 1796 that Jefferson and Adams were intended to be elected as president and Burr and Pinckney for Vice President.

Fluorid hlinitý (chemický vzorec AlF3) je anorganická sloučenina primárně používaná ve výrobě hliníku. Může být připraven synteticky, ale vyskytuje se i v přírodě.

Výskyt a výroba
Nejvíce používaný postup pro výrobu fluoridu hlinitého reakcí oxidu hlinitého Al2O3 a kyselinou hexafluorokřemičitou H2SiF6:

 H2SiF6 + Al2O3 → 2 AlF3 + SiO2 + H2O

Druhý způsob je pomocí tepelného rozkladu hexafluorohlinitanu ammoného (NH4)3AlF6. Menší množství je také možné připravit pomocí reakce hydroxidu hlinitého Al(OH)3 (popř. samotného hliníku) s kyselinou fluorovodíkovou HF.

Trihydrát fluoridu hlinitého se nachází v přírodě jako vzácný minerál rosenbergit.

Využití
Fluorid hlinitý je důležité aditivum při výrobě hliníku pomocí elektrolýzy. Společně s kryolitem snižují bod tání pod 1 000 °C a zvyšují vodivost elektrolytu.

Mimo jiné je využívaný (společně s fluoridem zirkoničitým ZrF4) pro výrobu fluorohlinitého skla, které se využívá na výrobu optických vláken.

Využívá se k zabránění kvašení.

Zdravotní rizika
Po požití může dojít k poškození trávicího traktu, jater a ledvin. Znakem otravy jsou bolesti břicha, zvracení a průjem. Při požití většího množství i křeče.
