December 21, 2022 TEXT MINUTE ENTRY re: Electronically-recorded telephone conference conducted before U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter on 12/21/2022 re: discovery issues raised in #125 #128 & #129 the parties letter briefs. For reasons stated on the record during the conference, the court will not permit any further discovery in this action relating to the 2021 Tartan Road incident, or the subsequent circumstances of defendant Albaneses discipline by and resignation from the Onondaga County Sheriffs Department, other than that specifically identified during the 12/21/2022 conference and during the prior, 9/16/2021 Discovery conference. (See Tr. at 35-37, 40-41, Dkt. No. 80). The court rules that #102 the Confidentiality Order applies to any evidence relating to the Tartan Road incident obtained by the parties in this action, including the materials obtained from the Cicero Police Department, and that evidence shall be disclosed and used only and exclusively for the purposes of this litigation. However, the court orally modified #102 the Confidentiality Order in this case to allow counsel to disclose, to the eye witnesses to defendant Albaneses conduct during the Tartan Road incident, the available video evidence from the Cicero Police Department, in order to develop their possible testimony, subject to the requirement that each witness agree to abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Order, by executing Appendix I to that Order (modified to clarify their status as a fact witness). The statements of defendant Albanese relating to the Tartan Road incident may only be shown to the law enforcement officers of the Cicero Police Department who responded to the Tartan Road incident, again subject to the terms of the modified Confidentiality Order. The court set final deadlines for the completion of pretrial proceedings in this case as follows: fact discovery and the first deposition of expert Kevin Murphy shall be completed by 2/28/2023; the supplemental expert disclosure of Kevin Murphy and any other expert disclosures shall be served by 3/13/2023; any rebuttal expert disclosures shall be served by 3/31/2023; all discovery shall be completed by 4/14/2023; any dispositive motion or motion for spoliation sanctions shall be filed by 5/15/2023. The court warned the parties that, because of the extensive delays in discovery to date, no further extensions of these deadlines would be granted.

November 21, 2022 Filing 124 TEXT ORDER DENYING Dkt. #38 defendants Motion for Reconsideration/Denial of Request for So-Ordered Subpoena. Given the extensive delays in discovery in this action, the court so-ordered this and other subpoenas to avoid further delays in compliance by non-party law enforcement agencies, which frequently afford limited priority to attorney-issued subpoenas. While the defendants are precluded from moving to quash the subpoena, the targets of the subpoena may move to quash if production would be unduly burdensome or raises some other legitimate objection. So Ordered by U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter on 11/21/2022. (gmd)

November 14, 2022 TEXT Minute Entry for a stenographically-recorded telephone Status Conference held on 11/14/2022 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter: The parties state their respective positions with respect to the discovery and other issues raised in #120 plaintiff's letter brief. The court again states that plaintiff must ultimately address spoliation issues to Senior District Judge Sharpe and that the parties should proceed with fact discovery, including discovery relating to spoliation, pursuant to the courts prior guidance (see 10/6/2022 Text Minute Entry). Plaintiffs counsel shall promptly consult with his expert, whose health issues appear to be currently under control, so that his initial deposition may be scheduled and plaintiff can specify what additional evidence they are seeking from the CNYLEADS and CHAIRS systems. The parties should then discuss scheduling the follow-up deposition of Mr. Lefebvre regarding the CNYLEADS and CHAIRS systems and related procedures, as well depositions of possible remaining fact and spoliation witnesses, including Mr. Jones (who plaintiff may subpoena if counsel prefers to do so), Ms. Smith, Ms. Olden, ADA Johnston, and Sgt. MacDonald. In light of the impending holidays and a trial conflict of defense counsel in December, the court schedules the next telephonic Status Conference on 1/5/2023 1:30 p.m., by which time the court expects the parties to be in a position to propose a reasonably firm schedule for completing discovery. Appearances: Jeffrey Parry, Esq. and Jarrod W. Smith, Esq. for plaintiff; Karen Felter, Esq. for defendants. Court Reporter Hannah Cavanaugh. Time: 1:32 PM - 2:16 PM. (gmd)

October 6, 2022 Filing 118 LETTER BRIEF by Kelly Glover. (Parry, Jeffrey)
October 6, 2022 TEXT Minute Entry for a stenographically-recorded telephone conference held on 10/6/2022 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter: Both parties raised issues regarding discovery, which has been largely staffed since the last status conference. Because of serious and prolonged health issues, plaintiff's expert has not been available for his first deposition and plaintiff's counsel has not been able to finalize the list of additional data sought from the relevant law enforcement computer systems (including CNYLEADS and CHAIRS). Plaintiff's expert currently has some availability in October, which should facilitate completing his first deposition in this case and the completion of plaintiff's list of data sought from the law enforcement computer systems. The parties should also be able to reschedule and complete the deposition of an Assistant District Attorney who communicated with defendant Albanese about plaintiff on the day of the subject incident. After those steps are completed, the parties should be able to begin to schedule follow-up depositions of plaintiff's expert and defense consultant Michael Lefebvre; possible depositions of a police officer who allegedly participated in discussions about destroying records related to plaintiff's arrests, and other potential witnesses identified by plaintiff; and depositions of the two named individual defendants. After fact discovery is completed, plaintiff's counsel may seek to schedule a deposition of his expert to preserve his testimony for possible use at trial. A follow-up telephonic status conference is set for 11/14/2022 at 1:30 PM, during which deadlines will be reset, as necessary. The court has stayed defendants' expert disclosure deadline pending the conference, as reflected in the accompanying text order. Appearances: Jeffrey Parry, Esq. for plaintiff; Karen Felter, Esq. for defendants. (Court Reporter: Jodi Hibbard. Time: 1:30 PM - 2:05 PM.) (kmc)

August 26, 2022 TEXT Minute Entry for a stenographically-recorded telephone conference held on 8/26/2022 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter re: #103 plaintiff's letter motion seeking leave to issue subpoenas, #104 defendants' letter motion requesting that a schedule to be set for completion of fact discovery and the initial deposition of Kevin Murphy, #106 plaintiff's letter brief, #107 defendants' letter brief including a number of exhibits, and #108 plaintiff's response to #107 defendants' letter. Defense counsel advised that she does not object to the issuance of plaintiff's requested subpoenas. The court will so order and issue the subpoenas for New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, New York State Department of Education, and Onondaga County District Attorney's Office, as reflected in the accompanying docket entries. The court discussed plaintiff's professed intention, after the initial deposition of Michael LeFebvre, to pursue a motion for sanctions based on the defendants' alleged failure to produce records and data from various law enforcement computer systems (including CNYLEADS and CHAIRS). The court noted that the purpose of deposing Michael LeFebvre was for Mr. Parry to talk directly with an individual who was familiar with the various computer system to ensure that all available, relevant data and information will be identified and disclosed. Pursuant to the court's prior instructions, Mr. Parry should make a direct request to defense counsel, informed by the first deposition of Mr. LeFebvre, listing the further information available in those systems that plaintiff is seeking. When the additional information is provided to plaintiff's counsel, the follow-up deposition of Mr. LeFebvre can be conducted. The court suggested an appropriate sequence for continuing with fact and expert discovery, including a prompt initial deposition of Mr. Murphy. The parties are directed to meet and confer regarding discovery that needs to be completed and a reasonable schedule in which to accomplish that. A follow-up telephone conference is set for 10/6/2022 at 1:30 PM, during which deadlines will be reset, as necessary.

August 23, 2022 Filing 105 TEXT ORDER: Ms. Yagan's request to connect to the telephone conference in 5:18-cv-00837-(GLS-ATB), Glover v. Onondaga County Sheriff's Department et al. is DENIED. Her e-mail request suggests that she has had frequent technical difficulty communicating with the court or participating in court conferences from her telephone, and that creates a significant risk that her attempted participation will disrupt the conference. Moreover, the court understands that Ms. Yagan has published recordings of prior telephone communications with police and court personnel on her YouTube channel, and recording of Northern District of New York judicial proceedings is prohibited without prior court consent. The primary purpose of the proceeding on August 26, 2022 is to discuss scheduling issues in the case, so the public interest in the proceeding should be minimal. Ms. Yagan will have the opportunity to review the subsequent docket entries for the proceeding on PACER and/or order a transcript if she wishes. So Ordered by U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter on 8/23/2022. (kmc)

June 8, 2022 TEXT MINUTE ENTRY re: a recorded telephone conference on 6/8/2022 to address discovery and other issues raised in #91 #92 #93 and #94 the parties' letter briefs. The parties should rely on a transcript of this telephone conference as documentation of the details of the court's rulings, guidance, and the supporting reasons. Plaintiff's counsel advised that DCJS has informally acknowledged that, based on its ongoing investigation, it has made findings favorable to plaintiff's expert and fact witness, Kevin Murphy, which should permit plaintiff to continue to rely upon him as her expert witness. As a result, both sides are now prepared to go forward with depositions of Michael LeFebvre and several other witnesses regarding the plaintiff's spoliation claims, as well as an initial deposition of Mr. Murphy previously ordered by the court. The parties both agree that Mr. LeFebvre's deposition needs to be expedited before he loses access, at the end of June, to the CNYLEADS/CHAIRS system, which will be necessary for him to address plaintiff's anticipated requests for information. The parties are directed to schedule the depositions of the spoliation witnesses and then the initial deposition of Mr. Murphy. The court provided guidance to plaintiff's counsel with respect to how to address the defense requests for admission, given that his client is not sure whether she is depicted in certain relevant video footage. Defense counsel can follow up on that issue during a deposition of plaintiff. Plaintiff's counsel advised he has not resolved his issues regarding a proposed protective stipulation/order relating to the "Tartan Road incident." If the parties cannot reach an agreement with respect to the language of such a stipulation/order by 7/15/2022, they are to submit competing proposed protective orders, and the court will so-order the version that he finds most reasonable overall. Deadlines have been reset, as reflected in the accompanying text order. Appearances: Jeffrey Parry, Esq. for plaintiff; Karen Felter, Esq. and Matthew Germain, Esq. for defendants.

April 26, 2022 Filing 90 TEXT ORDER: The parties are directed to submit status reports by 5/27/2022 with a proposed, revised schedule for completing pretrial proceedings, and advise the court whether any other areas of dispute have not been resolved after good faith negotiations. So Ordered by U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter on 4/26/2022. (kmc)
April 26, 2022 TEXT MINUTE ENTRY: On 4/26/2022, the court conducted a stenographically-recorded telephone conference to address discovery and other issues raised in #87 #89 the parties' letter briefs. After questioning the parties extensively, and allowing them to make supplemental arguments, the court made the following rulings and provided the following guidance, for the reasons stated on the record during the conference. The court confirmed his ruling in prior conferences, that any motions from plaintiff regarding "missing" documents or video footage which the defendants have clearly confirmed they do not currently possess-including the arrest report regarding plaintiff, any "missing" statements of plaintiff to the police, the sworn statement of Matthew Parisi of Wegmans, and any additional video footage from Wegmans or the Onondaga County Justice Center-should be spoliation motions before District Judge Sharpe in connection with dispositive motions or trial. Judge Baxter will not entertain a motion to compel defendants to produce documents or other evidence when they have clearly represented that they (and their employer) do not currently have possession of such documents. To address the issue of information and data from the CNYLeads system which plaintiff has requested, but which have not been produced, the defendants will promptly make available for deposition a witness who is well versed in how to retrieve data and information from that system. Plaintiff's counsel may commence the deposition by questioning the witness about what further data from CNYLeads plaintiff is requesting, whether such data is likely to exist in the system, and if so, how such data may be retrieved from the system. The deposition shall be adjourned so that the witness may then attempt to retrieve the requested data from the CNYLeads system so that it may be disclosed to plaintiff's counsel. Plaintiff may then, if counsel wishes, resume the deposition and continue to question the witness regarding the data retrieved and/or why the requested data does not exist or could not be retrieved. Defense counsel advised that she had questioned retired Sheriff's Deputy Mike LeFebvre regarding the processing of plaintiff following her "arrest" and the available documents and evidence in the CNYLeads system. She understood that Mr. LeFebvre also had extended discussions about the same issues with plaintiff's expert and fact witness, Kevin Murphy. Mr. LeFebvre, expecting to be a witness, inquired of Ms. Felter whether he needed representation. Defense counsel will consult with Mr. LeFebvre further, and, considering Dunton factors, decide whether she can represent him or whether he requires separate counsel. Ms. Felter represented that she will not attempt to dissuade Mr. LeFebvre from having further discussions with plaintiff's counsel or Mr. Murphy if Mr. LeFebvre is willing to do so. Plaintiff's counsel advised that he has been able to access and view the video footage already produced in discovery and will now respond to the request(s) for admission regarding whether the disclosed video footage from Wegmans shows the plaintiff. Defense counsel advised that she is prepared to disclose evidence regarding the "Tartan Road incident" to plaintiff's counsel pursuant to an appropriate protective stipulation/order. The court clarified that it would be reasonable and appropriate for such a stipulation/order to limit plaintiff's ability to use such evidence to use in prosecuting this action. If plaintiff wants to use such evidence in connection with other cases, he will need to request the information in discovery in any such action and seek a court order permitting it to be used in such different action. To the extent the parties have other disagreements regarding the language of the proposed protective order, they should consider the form "Patent Protective Order" on the NDNY external website as a template for reasonable and frequently-approved language for protective orders. Once the parties have completed any depositions regarding "missing" evidence, e.g., from the CNYLeads system, and possible spoliation issues, Mr. Murphy should be made available for an initial deposition, as described by the court during the June 29, 2020 and April 26, 2022 conferences. Following that initial deposition of Mr. Murphy, defendants and other fact witnesses may be deposed. As the court ruled in the prior conference, a follow-up deposition of Mr. Murphy, during the expert discovery phase, will thereafter also be permitted. Plaintiff's counsel agreed to follow up with defense counsel with respect to outstanding discovery demands, including those regarding plaintiff's ATM receipt from the day of the incident and plaintiff's notes regarding sessions with her therapist. The parties agreed to follow up based on the court's guidance and to meet and confer regarding a plan for completing fact discovery. By 5/27/2022, the parties will submit a status report with a proposed, revised schedule for completing pretrial proceedings, and advise the court whether any other areas of dispute have not been resolved after good faith negotiations. Appearances: Jeffrey Parry, Esq. and Jarrod Smith, Esq. for plaintiff; Karen Felter, Esq. and Matthew Germain, Esq. for defendants. (Court Reporter: Hannah Cavanaugh. Time: 10:00 AM - 11:42 AM.)

September 16, 2021 Filing 76 TEXT SCHEDULING ORDER: Fact discovery shall be completed by 12/31/2021; plaintiff's expert disclosures shall be made by 2/15/2022, defendant's expert disclosures shall be made by 3/31/2022; and any rebuttal disclosures shall be made by 4/15/2022; expert discovery shall be completed by 5/13/2022; and dispositive motions shall be filed by 6/30/2022. So Ordered by U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter on 9/16/2021. (kmc)
September 16, 2021 TEXT MINUTE ENTRY re: stenographically recorded telephone conference on 9/16/2021 addressing discovery issues raised in #69 , #71 , #72 , and #74 various prior submissions by the parties. For the reasons stated on the record during the conference, and subject to the further guidance provided by the court during the conference, the court made the following rulings. (1) Defense counsel represented that the Onondaga County Sheriff's Department ("OCSD") conducted a thorough investigation into plaintiff's allegations regarding certain "missing" documents relating to plaintiff's arrest and, after a diligent search, have disclosed all available documents responsive to plaintiff's discovery demands. Plaintiff may seek to conduct a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of the OCSD to further explore the nature and extent of the investigation and search for requested documents and any explanation that can be offered for any missing documents, such as plaintiff's arrest report. The OCSD's alleged failure to maintain certain records appears to have occurred outside this court's supervision of the discovery process. Thus, to the extent plaintiff contemplates pursuing a spoliation motion seeking, e.g., preclusion of evidence or a favorable inferences or jury instruction with respect to "missing" documents, that motion should be directed to the presiding District Judge in the context of dispositive motions or any trial. (2) Defense counsel wants to conduct a limited deposition of plaintiff's adult son to clarify whether, as plaintiff claimed in her deposition, her son made certain statements to defendant Albanese regarding plaintiff's passing of counterfeit currency. Absent a stipulation acceptable to defendants or documentation that plaintiff's son might be significantly harmed by such a limited deposition, the defendants are granted leave to conduct that deposition. However, the deposition should be conducted so as to preserve the son's testimony so that he does not need to be called at any trial. (3) The court noted that plaintiff filed #74 an order to show cause/motion seeking a directive to the OCSD that requested records relating to allegations of misconduct of defendant Albanese in 2021 not be destroyed or disposed of. Defense counsel represented that she has previously advised the OCSD to preserve any such records and that she has been assured by OCSD officials that any such documents have been preserved. In the order to show cause/motion, plaintiff also asked that the court temporarily allow plaintiff to withhold, from the defendants, the identity of a "confidential informant" ("CI 11") who provided information regarding an alleged agreement between the Onondaga County Sheriff and defendant Albanese to destroy certain records relating to the latter's recent alleged misconduct. As noted below, this court has provided direction to plaintiff's counsel regarding the disclosure of the identity of CI 11 and any other sources of information about the alleged agreement between the Sheriff and defendant Albanese. Defense counsel will set forth this information in the response to #74 the order to show cause/motion ordered by Senior District Judge Sharpe which should result in that pleading being found moot. (4) The court addressed whether plaintiff is entitled to obtain discovery from the OCSD of certain records regarding the alleged misconduct of defendant Albanese in 2021, which were reportedly negotiated and resolved shortly before he resigned from the OCSD. Based on authority stated on the record and subject to the further guidance provided by the court, the court ruled that the only such evidence that was properly discoverable related to defendant Albanese's allegedly inaccurate report regarding the level of physical force he used against a minor male subject in Cicero, NY on 4/14/2021. Based on considerations of relevance and proportionality, the court found that documents relating to the other allegations of misconduct by defendant Albanese in 2021, approximately five years after the date of the conduct that is the subject of the complaint in this action, was not properly discoverable. (5) To the extent plaintiff seeks to offer evidence of the recent alleged agreement between the Onondaga County Sheriff and defendant Albanese to destroy certain official records, plaintiff must disclose to the defense, perhaps pursuant to a reasonable protective order, the evidence upon which he will rely and the identity of any witnesses who have supplied such evidence, including "CI 11." If plaintiff discloses this evidence, the defense must disclose to plaintiff evidence supporting its position that no such agreement was made and that no records were destroyed. Such evidence could include supporting affidavits from relevant officials of the OCSD, who could also be noticed for depositions by plaintiff. While this subject could possibly provide information relevant to the credibility of defendant Albanese and the reliability of document retention by the OCSD, it is also remote in time from and extraneous to the claims in the complaint relating to defendants' conduct in 2016. So, as an initial matter, the court will not require the OCSD to disclose to plaintiff all of the records relating to the alleged misconduct of defendant in Albanese in 2021, although the court may consider an in camera review of such records to confirm representations that such documents have been preserved. If the parties are unable to agree on the appropriate scope of discovery on this subject, the court may need to intervene further to determine what further discovery is proportional to this case. (6) Plaintiff's counsel has repeatedly raised issues regarding a possible conflict of interest in defense counsel's joint representation of defendant Albanese and the OCSD. Defense counsel recently represented that they revisited the issue of joint representation with defendant Albanese, who is now no longer employed by the OCSD, and that this individual defendant elected to continue representation by the same attorneys as OCSD. Defense counsel was directed to submit Dunton affidavits for the individual defendants, including defendant Albanese, so the court can assess whether joint representation continues to be appropriate. (7) After input from counsel, the court resets the deadlines in this case as follows: fact discovery shall be completed by 12/31/2021; plaintiff's expert disclosures shall be made by 2/15/2022, defendant's expert disclosures shall be made by 3/31/2022; and any rebuttal disclosures shall be made by 4/15/2022; expert discovery shall be completed by 5/13/2022; and dispositive motions shall be filed by 6/30/2022.

May 26, 2021 Filing 68 TEXT ORDER re: #66 #67 the parties' status reports. The parties are continuing to work on discovery issues raised during the last conference. A new issue regarding a possible conflict of interest in defense counsel's continuing representation of defendant Albanese will be affected by an ongoing investigation of him by the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office, and the parties disagree as to what discovery should be disclosed with respect to that investigation. While at least the plaintiff's counsel anticipates that further court intervention will be required with respect to these issues, he agrees that such intervention should await further developments. Accordingly, the parties are directed to file further status reports by 7/2/2021, updating the court on the status of discovery and other disputes between the parties and specifying any intervention from the court that each side thinks is required. So Ordered by U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter on 5/26/2021. (kmc)

July 27, 2020 Filing 50 TEXT ORDER re: #48 plaintiff's letter brief. To the extent plaintiff is seeking leave to file a spoliation motion before Magistrate Judge Baxter, that application is DENIED without prejudice. The spoliation motion described by plaintiff relates to the failure to preserve video evidence that appears to have occurred outside this court's involvement in the discovery process. Plaintiff would likely seek an adverse inference instruction or preclusion of evidence. Such a motion and the relief likely sought by plaintiff that would be more appropriately considered by the presiding District Judge in the context of dispositive motions or trial. To the extent plaintiff's counsel has issues relating to recent exchanges of discovery directed by this court, the parties should review the new information provided, wait a reasonable time for the opposing counsel to complete supplemental discovery to the extent possible, and then meet and confer before seeking further judicial intervention. Based on the foregoing, the court adopts the proposed extension of the schedule as proposed in #44 defendants' letter brief. The discovery cutoff is extended to 1/15/2021 (plaintiff's expert disclosures due by 10/16/2020; defendants' expert disclosures due by 11/27/2020; and any rebuttal disclosures are due by 12/18/2020). Substantive motions are to be filed by 3/19/2021. Any discovery motion (other than the proposed spoliation motion) should be filed on or before 1/29/2021, but should be proceeded by a good faith meet and confer and a request for a telephone conference before Judge Baxter.

'How To Make Great DIY Swim Films' is a series of six blogs with some of Stefan's top filmmaking tips. This week it's all about editing.
From the birth of cinema in the 19th century until the 1990s, editing was mainly done by cementing or splicing pieces of film together. For the last 25 years this process has been revolutionised by digital editing.
So, it's time to decide on a basic editing software. If you work on a Mac, I'd go for Apple's free iMovie. If you're on a PC you may have to invest; I would recommend Adobe Premiere Elements (approximately £86).
Import all your video and audio clips – the rushes – into a new project that matches your camera settings, for example: 1080p (Full HD) in 25 frames per second.
It's a good idea to log, label and sort your rushes. Then create an edit folder and start editing by selecting the individual shots you like best.
You'll work with two monitors, a player monitor for the rushes and a record monitor for the sequence you're editing. Pull the shots you want to use into the player monitor, trim each shot to where you want to start and stop, then edit it into a sequence.
Don't be put off by the many menus and buttons of the software; it just takes a little patience and 'getting used to'. Start slowly and Google for help or tutorials. And remember that the more you do it, the better and faster you get and the more fun it'll be.
The true art of editing is building a strong narrative arch that builds towards a climax.
So, for example, in a short film about a swim in November the most dramatic point might be the moment when the swimmer enters the cold water. So, building tension towards that point is crucial. Highlight the season: it's winter and there are no leaves on the trees. The swimmer is dressed warmly. He shivers as he undresses. He wears swimming trunks, no wetsuit. Every image and sound you select for this section in the film should underline the fact that it's cold and that entering the water takes courage.
Show the swimmer's face, the short sharp inhalations and the exhilaration as he steps into the water and starts swimming. Focus on the first strokes and the process of adjustment as the body gets used to the water temperature.
Timewise, spend roughly two thirds of your film getting to the climax and one third for the rest of the film.
Some sequences in the film might benefit from the use of music; try out different pieces before deciding on the one that feels best. It's unlikely your film will be used commercially, so you probably don't have to be too concerned about copyright restrictions.
That's it for now. I hope you find these tips helpful. Next week, I'll talk some more about audio editing as well as exporting the finished film.


Companies in the food flavouring sector are highly innovative, small to medium-sized enterprises. They have a vital role in global food production. After all, their products are what makes food kick.
Nobody knows what new EU-UK trade terms during and after transition will look like, yet companies have to plan ahead; contracts are being negotiated, funding sought, tenders published, materials sourced, staff recruited, investment plans drawn up and R&D budgets allocated. They have 18 months to get fit for Brexit, and possibly longer if the UK manages to agree a transition period. However, for as long as the divorce bill is not settled, negotiating the nitty-gritty of, for example, product testing procedures that would need to be agreed between markets, cannot be contemplated.
Uncertainty is the new normal and 'risk management' should be on the radar of all businesses. But how on earth can you plan for a market that will either be separate from, or that might still be bobbing along, the single market? This is where scenario planning comes in. We have heard it all: 'soft Brexit', 'hard Brexit', 'Swiss Brexit', 'Free Trade Brexit'.
Although the Government's preference is for a 'bespoke' deal, the EU has said that no new model will be on the table; it is either 'Norway' or 'Canada'. This means either a soft Brexit, with continued free access to the single market, or a 'free trade Brexit' with tariffs slashed on goods but not much else.
What is my route to market?
Where do I get my products approved?
Which jurisdiction governs my contracts?
Where do I pay tax?
Which licences do I have?
Where do I recruit staff from?
Where do I have offices?
Then cross-reference with all the different elements in existing trade relationships in a Big Brexit Matrix, and count your blessings. Or not. Each part of the business needs to be risk-assessed for the all the elements of the different scenarios.
To come back to Europe's flavour industry, food flavourings and substances approved by the European Food Safety Agency and the European Chemicals Agency can stay on the market after 29 March 2019. Products that enter the UK market after that date may still be allowed for a while, but may be subject to unknown procedures, or they may not. This depends on what trading terms the EU and the UK will agree. This tells us businesses may want to think about speeding up placing products, and about freeing up resources to closely monitor the negotiations and regulators on either side of the Channel.
So get planning and map your unknowns. Although not anticipated, this may even result in unexpected discoveries and niches that the different flavours of Brexit could unearth.

Hi, when trying to sign up to use the Comic book and Manga Library, any of the shifts, it will not allow it to go through because it competes with other events we are already signed up for. Can that be changed so that it allows us to use it during free time when we do not have events.
Agreed; that was what I was hoping to use it for as well. Thanks!
I've updated the event so that it doesn't conflict with anything else, so you should be able to grab it now.
As a side note as an avid reader both of the forums and the Facebook posts. I have been very impressed with how actively engaged staff seems to on both the forums and on Facebook and are quick to offer assistance or replies and in my humble opinion that totally rocks and thanks for being so accessible!
We're happy to help when we can :) Thanks for the kind words!
BTW, you don't need tickets for the manga library. Just come by for as long or short a time as you want. Totally free and open till midnight.
Wondering; is this manga only or other comics? Into lots of Image titles but it's not easy to search the GenCon website.
Just manga. As far as I know, there's no online listing of what's in the library.


Idea expressed on a website - protected?
I had an idea about a design of a lamp, I'd like to write the idea on a website to have some reviews about it.
Copyright is mainly intended to protect artistic ideas, although there are are some examples of more practical things such as computer programs and architectural drawings which also qualify for copyright.
For more practical or utilitarian objects there is Design Right and Patents. Patents can only be taken out for an idea which shows a 'novel step' beyond what is currently known by others working in the same field, so unless your design is in this category, I suspect that Design Right will give you the best protection. However if you think that a patent might be the best way of protecting your idea, it is vital that you do not publish details of before applying for a patent.
10 years from the end of the year in which an article made to the design was first made available commercially anywhere in the world.
There is also something known as Unregistered Community Design Right which then applies throughout the EU. You can find out more about UCDR and its big brother Registered Community Design (RCD) here.
For designs which are more likely to have significant commercial value there is the Registered Design Right (RDR). Eligibilty rules for RDR are slightly different and the protection afforded is somewhat stronger than for UDR. You can read all about the requirements and registration process for RDR here.

May 7, 2022 Russia-Ukraine news – CNN
The Ukrainian government said the evacuation of many civilians from the Azovstal steel complex in Mariupol was completed on Saturday.
Catch up on the latest developments in the war here — and a look ahead to events on Sunday and Monday.
Azovstal evacuations: Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said that "all women, children and elderly people" have been evacuated from the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol. "This part of the Mariupol humanitarian operation has been completed," she said. There were no further details on numbers.
As of Saturday morning local time, more than 100 civilians — including children — were thought to be trapped inside the sprawling complex, along with several hundred soldiers, many of them injured.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces said that Russian forces continue to blockade the Ukrainian troops inside the plant. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also said Friday he's working on diplomatic options to help evacuate the remaining military in Azovstal.
The self-declared Donetsk People's Republic said Saturday that a total of 152 people had been evacuated from the city of Mariupol in the eight hours since 8 a.m. local time. It remains unclear whether the total includes any civilians who are trapped at Azovstal.
Odesa strikes: Russia fired six cruise missiles at the southwestern port city of Odesa on Saturday, according to Ukraine's military. Video from the city shows thick columns of black smoke in several locations.
The United Nations has called to reopen the port to help ease a global food crisis.
Here's what to be on the lookout for in the coming days:
G7 meeting with Zelensky: On Sunday, US President Joe Biden will meet virtually with the Ukrainian president and his G7 counterparts during a meeting of the G7 forum, deliberately scheduled ahead of Russia's Victory Day. Sanctions will be on the agenda for the meeting.
Victory Day: On Monday, Russia will commemorate the Soviet Union's role in defeating Nazi Germany in World War II. Western officials have long believed that Russian President Vladimir Putin would leverage the symbolic significance and propaganda value of the day to announce either a military achievement in Ukraine, a major escalation of hostilities — or both.
The Kremlin said Friday that May 9 is a "sacred" day for Russians, and it won't be "overshadowed" by the events unfolding in Ukraine. The Kremlin confirmed that Putin will attend the traditional parade held in Moscow's Red Square and will make a speech. At the end of the parade, Putin will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
