Rooibos certainly does make the headlines. That soothing cup of tea that so many of us enjoy was big news a few years back when an American company announced that it had a US trade mark registration for the name Rooibos, and that it would be able to block South African exporters of rooibos tea from using the name in the USA – it subsequently transpired that a South African entrepreneur who had been at the forefront of rooibos exports to the USA had in fact obtained the US registration way back in 1994 (at a time when the name was practically unknown outside of South Africa), and subsequently sold it to the US company. The South African government entered the fray and, at one stage, things became a bit ugly. Legal proceedings to cancel the registration were filed in the USA, and the owner eventually agreed that it would not claim exclusive rights to the word.
A similar story has unfolded in France, where a French company has applied to register Rooibos as a trade mark for beverages. Once again the government has stepped in, with Trade & Industry Minister, Rob Davies, talking of the 'capture of the intellectual property associated with Rooibos'. Davies went on to say that 'the DTI stands ready to defend South Africa's trade and intellectual property interests vigorously', adding that his department had lodged an objection with the French Embassy in South Africa and the European Commission Delegation in Pretoria. But Davies did intimate that things are not exactly clear when it comes to the legal position of rooibos: 'The issues in this particular matter will require an urgent assessment of the legal options to strengthen protection of the Rooibos name in South Africa.'
So just what are the legal issues here? Well, the first point worth noting is that rooibos is the name of a type of tea – one that is derived from a particular plant – rather than a brand of tea. Which makes rooibos a generic name, and one that cannot be monopolised by a single party. The second is that the plant that rooibos tea is derived from is only to be found in a particular region of the Western Cape. Which means that, although there is no place called Rooibos, the word does have a certain geographical significance.
In certain parts of the world it is possible to get legal protection for a geographic indication in cases where a certain quality is ascribable to the source. The Europeans are particularly big on this, and in the European Union it's possible to register a name as a 'Protected Designation of Origin' (PDO) in cases where all stages of production occur in the area, or alternatively as a 'Protected Geographical Indication' (PGI) in cases where only one stage of the production cycle occurs in the area. As a result, a large number of names are off limits in the EU. Obvious and well-known examples include Champagne, Port, Sherry and Feta. Some of these names are off limits outside the EU too. That's because the Europeans have been known to use their economic muscle to persuade weaker trading partners to agree to prohibit the use of certain names in their countries. Which is why, for example, the name Champagne is verboten in South Africa
South African law, however, does not have any protection for geographical indications. As a result of this lack of protection at home, foreign authorities like those in the EU won't grant protection to South African names like rooibos. This problem, says the government, will be solved once the Intellectual Property Laws Amendment Act 2007 – or the 'Traditional Knowledge Act' (TKA) as it is better known – becomes law. But is this really the case?
The TKA is controversial and, although it has been approved by parliament, it hasn't yet been signed by the State President. I'm not going to be examining the controversy in this article, but it is worth noting that the TKA makes provision for the protection of a 'geographical indication', which is defined as 'an indication which identifies goods as originating in the territory of the Republic or in a region or locality in that territory, and where a particular quality, reputation or other characteristic of the goods is essentially attributable to the geographic origin of the goods, including natural and human factors'. The TKA says that a geographical indication can be registered as a certification trade mark or a collective trade mark.
So, if and when the TKA comes into force, it will be possible for a name like rooibos to be registered as a certification trade mark or a collective trade mark. And once that happens, it may be possible to convince the authorities like those in the EU to grant protection to the name there, in which case no single party will be able to monopolise it through a trade mark registration. Problem solved!
So what exactly are certification and collective trade marks? A certification trade mark is one that certifies that any product bearing the mark is of a particular kind or quality, or that it has a particular characteristic, or that it comes from a particular region. In the case of rooibos, the name would presumably be registered in the name of an industry body that could certify that the tea was the real deal. A collective trade mark is slightly different in that it indicates that the person applying the trade mark to the product belongs to a particular industry body. In the case of both types of mark, it's necessary to lodge fairly detailed information showing how the certification or membership works.
Both these forms of protection are already available under the Trade Marks Act, so there is no reason to wait for the TKA to become law. It's not really clear why no industry body has managed to get a certification or collective trade mark registration for Rooibos, although news reports do suggest that some steps were taken but that the process wasn't completed. Meanwhile, a professor of intellectual property law has suggested that the authorities should declare Rooibos a prohibited mark in terms of Section 15 of the Merchandise Marks Act, following which it will be out of bounds completely. Once that happens, they should try to persuade foreign authorities like those in the EU to protect the term on the basis of this form of South African protection. In fact, the professor claims that he and others advised the government to do this years ago when rooibos became an issue in the USA, and that this advice was ignored.
It does look very much as if the rooibos issue has been sadly neglected by the various role players, which is why it's now such a mess!

Programme document
Standard Administrative Arrangement (SAA)
The Joint Programme addresses gender inequality in a coherent and comprehensive manner, covering a wide range of issues, such as political and economic empowerment of women, reducing violence against women and girls and promotion of women's sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights. Therefore, it is mandatory to pool together and unify efforts of UN agencies in order to pave the way for a more effective response to the truly complex and multifaceted problem in the country. Consequently, the Joint Programming modality is the most effective approach to build on and complement the mandates, capacities, experience and expertise of each agency (UNDP, UN Women and UNFPA), and thus tackle an overly complex issue in Georgian society.
The overall goal of the project is to promote gender equality and women's empowerment by means of strengthening capacities of government at both central and local levels and across the executive, legislative and judicial branches, engaging civil society and raising public awareness about gender equality. This ambitious goal will be achieved by realization of the following outcomes:
Enhanced women's political and economic empowerment
Enabling environment to eliminate violence against women and girls, especially sexual and domestic violence, created in Georgia
Advanced gender equality and reproductive rights, including for the most vulnerable women, adolescents and youth
The geographic area for the Joint Programme covers Tbilisi, Kakheti and Samegrelo Regions. The activities will be implemented in partnership with the Government, local authorities and CSOs, including women organizations.
Assistance Strategy
The project has a holistic approach by simultaneously targeting three interrelated levels (national, local and grassroots) and applying multi-tiered programming approaches:
Policy advice - to advocate for streamlining of national legislation and policies in view of gender equality including, political and economic empowerment, violence against women and girls, reproductive rights; and recommend improvements; adjust policies, develop/update the action plans; support evidence-based policy dialogue between policy and decision makers, the legislature and women's rights and gender equality advocates as well as communities at grassroots level;
Strengthening national systems – to enhance coordination and implementation of innovative policies and plans related to gender equality, including political and economic empowerment, SRH&RR, prevention and response to violence against women and girls, as well as supporting development and institutionalization of monitoring mechanisms of implementation.
Strengthening public advocacy – to enhance the capacities of rights-holders on the issue of gender equality and women's political and economic empowerment, domestic and other forms of violence against women and girls, harmful practices and reproductive rights by mobilizing and supporting participatory advocacy platforms with civil society and communities at grassroots level.
The UNJP is fully aligned with national priorities in the area of gender equality and the stated goals and priority areas of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework for Georgia (2010-15) and UN Partnership Framework (2016-2020), as well as the Results Strategy for Sweden's Reform Cooperation with Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans and Turkey (2014 – 2020).
A human rights-based approach will be at the heart of the programme while developing capacities and opportunities for both duty-bearers and rights-holders. The programme will strengthen the capacity of duty bearers, i.e. central and local government institutions to effectively fulfil their obligations and increase accountability as well as supporting rights holders to effectively claim their rights. All programme activities will be based and will apply universal human rights principles such as: equality and non-discrimination, participation and inclusion, accountability and rule of law.
Ensuring sustainability of the achieved results will remain at the heart of the programme and will be strongly emphasised over its entire duration.
The programme will be jointly implemented by UNFPA, UN Women and UNDP. UNDP will continue to serve as the Administrative Agent of the programme while UN Women will serve as the Convening Agent. The Programme Management Unit will be recruited comprised of programme managers for each programme component, supported by Administrative/Finance Assistants and Drivers/Logisticians.
A Programme Steering Committee is established with the participation of senior personnel of all signatories to the joint programme document with similar level of decision-making authority including representatives of the three UN participating agencies and national coordinating authorities. Swedish Government is invited to join the Steering Committee with an observer's status. The main role of the Steering Committee is to provide strategic guidance for programme implementation, approve programme annual work plans, including annual targets for the results framework and review progress against set targets. The programme steering committee, co-chaired by UN Resident Coordinator and the Chair of the Parliamentary Council for Gender Equality meets at least once a year, in the first quarter of each calendar year.
Administrative Agent
The Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTF Office) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) serves as the Administrative Agent (AA) of the Joint Programme. The AA is responsible for concluding Standard Administrative Arrangements (SAAs) with donors and Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Participating UN Organisations.
UN Women will serve as the Convening Agency (CA) accountable for coordination of joint programmatic activities and narrative reporting to the AA. The CA is responsible for programmatic coordination of UNJP joint components and for preparation of annual and final consolidated narrative progress reports based on the reports submitted by each participating UN organization. The CA provides those consolidated reports to the Administrative Agent for further submission to the donor.

Scientists confirm: Hurt crabs feel pain
May 27, 2009 By Merritt Clifton

And try to avoid it
BELFAST–Hermit crabs feel pain when injured and change their behavior to avoid the source of pain, reported Robert Elwood of the School of Biological Sciences at Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on March 27, 2009.
"With vertebrates we are asked to err on the side of caution and I believe this is the approach to take with crustaceans," concluded Elwood.
"Practices may warrant reassessment"
"Ripping the legs off live crabs and crowding lobsters into seafood market tanks are just two of the many practices that may warrant reassessment," warned Jennifer Viegas of the Discovery Channel.
More than 4,130 news web sites amplified Elwood's findings, soon to be published in the journals Animal Behavior and Applied Animal Behavior Science.
The hermit crab study was Elwood's second well-publicized attempt to establish to the satisfaction of most remaining scientific skeptics that crustaceans feel pain. New Scientist in November 2007 published Elwood's findings about the behavior of 144 prawns after he daubed one of their antennae with a solution of diluted acetic acid. The prawns immediately groomed and rubbed the daubed antennae, but not their other antennae. This, Elwood wrote, was "consistent with an interpretation of pain experience."

"Blow for fans of boiled lobster"
The Guardian headlined a report about the prawn study "Blow for fans of boiled lobster."
But other researchers alleged fault with Elwood's experiment.
"Even a single-cell organism can detect a threatening chemical gradient and retreat from it," University of Utah pain researcher Richard Chapman told Guardian reporter Ian Sample. Elwood designed the hermit crab study to respond to the criticisms of the prawn study. He and colleague Mirjam Appel collected hermit crabs from rock pools in County Down, Northern Ireland.
"All of the crabs survived the experiments and were later released back into their native habitat," reported Viegas. Hermit crabs, rather than forming their own shells, occupy shells discarded by other animals. Once they find a satisfactory shell, they are reluctant to abandon it. Their usual response to a threat is to retreat farther into the shell.

Alternative shells
Elwood and Appel offered the hermit crabs alternative shells to move into, but shells less attractive to them than the shells they already had.
Elwood and Appel then gave some of the crabs small electric shocks while they were inside their old shells. They also groomed themselves in a manner that Elwood and Appel described as "a protective motor reaction, viewed as a sign of pain in vertebrates." Crabs who were not shocked did not take the opportunity to change shells.
"There has been a long debate about whether crustaceans including crabs, prawns and lobsters feel pain," Elwood summarized in a media release. "We know from previous research that they can detect harmful stimuli and withdraw from the source of the stimuli but that could be a simple reflex without the inner 'feeling' of unpleasantness that we associate with pain. This research demonstrates that it is not a simple reflex but that crabs trade their need for a quality shell with the need to avoid the harmful stimulus."

Trade-offs
"Such trade-offs are seen in vertebrates," Elwood wrote, "in which the response to pain is controlled with respect to other requirements. Humans, for example, may hold a hot plate that contains food, whereas they may drop an empty plate, showing that we take into account differing motivational requirements when responding to pain.
"Trade-offs of this type have not been previously demonstrated in crustaceans," Elwood continued. "The results are consistent with the idea of pain being experienced by these animals." Elwood spoke specifically to the treatment of crustaceans by the seafood industry.
"More research is needed in this area where a potentially very large problem is being ignored," he said. "Legislation to protect crustaceans has been proposed [in Britain] but is likely to cover only scientific research. Millions of crustaceans are caught or reared in aquaculture for the food industry. There is no protection for these animals, with the possible exception of certain states in Australia."
Seven reasons for believing that crustaceans suffer
In Elwood's Applied Animal Behavior Science paper, he and co-authors Stuart Barr and Lynsey Patterson cite seven reasons for believing that crustaceans suffer. In addition to the findings of the hermit crab and prawn experiments, they explain, crustaceans placed under stress demonstrate physiological changes consistent with feeling pain, including release of adrenal-like hormones. If crabs are given anesthetics or analgesics, they appear to feel relieved, showing fewer responses to negative stimuli.
Contrary to the supposition that having a brain is necessary to feel pain, Elwood et al argue, crustaceans have "high cognitive ability and sentience."

Feelings of pain and stress in mammals are associated with the neocortex. Because crustaceans lack a neocortex, prevailing belief until recently was that they lack the physiological structure necessary to suffer.
Analogy to vision
Responds Elwood, "Using the same analogy, one could argue crabs do not have vision because they lack the visual centers of humans."
In fact, fish, lobsters and octopi all have vision, and some species have relatively advanced vision, despite lacking a visual cortex. The explanation is that their neurological systems are organized in a different manner, with different control structures."It was also thought," said Viegas of the Discovery Channel, "that since many invertebrates cast off damaged appendages, it was not harmful for humans to remove legs, tails and other body parts from live crustaceans.
Another study led by Lynsey Patterson, however, found that when humans twisted off legs from crabs, their stress response was so profound that some later died."
Humane response
Much of the humane community has believed for decades that the treatment of crustaceans should become a topic of urgent concern–if only to avoid practices that might encourage callous treatment of other species. In 1952, for example, delegates from 25 nations agreed at a convention hosted by the World Federation for the Protection of Animals–one of the three ancestors of the World Society for the Protection of Animals– that boiling live crustaceans sets a bad example of how animals should be treated, and should be abolished.
PETA has staged heavily publicized live lobster releases almost annually for more than 25 years. In 2006 two members of Animal Rights Croatia locked themselves into a fish tank to dramatize the fate of lobsters.

Advocates for Animals
Serious efforts have also been made by the humane community to assemble scientific evidence that crustaceans suffer. The Scottish organization Advocates for Animals in 2005 published a volume entitled Cephalopods & Decapod Crustaceans: Their Capacity To Experience Pain & Suffering, assessing all that was known at that time.
Such efforts have brought some results.
Notably, the grocery chain Whole Foods in 2006 quit selling live soft-shelled crabs and lobsters for humane reasons.

But the humane community has also been embarrassed by incidents such as a crab cook held in 2005 to benefit the Prince Rupert SPCA. A sequel was cancelled in 2006 by the British Columbia SPCA, parent organization to the Prince Rupert SPCA, after Sea Shepherd Conservation Society founder Paul Watson led a campaign against it.
Concern for fish
Concern about crustacean suffering is rising parallel to campaigns on behalf of fish. Hong Kong SPCA executive director Sandy Macalister, for instance, editorialized recently in the membership magazine Paw Prints against the practice of restauranteurs keeping giant groupers and other species on display in cramped tanks, until bought and killed for someone's dinner.
Hong Kong SPCA president Sandy McAllister.
"These wonderful animals, which since the 1940s have lived and bred in the coral depths, now lie behind thick distorting glass in a narrow tank on the footpath," wrote Macalister. "How many times have we walked past such horrific living conditions for these animals without a second thought? Is it because we consider them to be `just fish'? If a passer-by or a restaurant patron knew that these magnificent creatures were more than 65 years old, would that make a difference?"
"Fish are vertebrates like us"
Macalister's editorial attracted extensive sympathetic coverage from Simon Parry of the South China Morning Post.
"Fish are vertebrates like us," University of Hong Kong biologist Yvonne Sadovy told Parry. "They have a backbone, and a lot of the biology and physiology have some similarities to us. Our nervous systems and hormonal systems in some ways are very similar. I think most biologists would say there is absolutely no reason to believe they would not feel pain. How they perceive it is obviously incredibly difficult to know, but you pick up a fish and take it out of water and put a hook in its mouth and it struggles. There is something clearly uncomfortable and not right and that fish perceives stress."
"When you consider what a fish does in its daily life–it can tell where it is, identify things and make decisions–it is clear there's far more going on than anyone suspects," Macalister said. "They learn, and they have memories, and they can identify people. They feel stress and they feel pain. People used to believe fish couldn't remember anything for longer than three seconds, but we know now that isn't true."

Fish in Hong Kong, as in most of the world, have only scant protection under existing anti-cruelty laws, but Macalister pointed out that laws follow public opinion.
"Attitudes, as well as the law, have to change," Macalister told Parry. "It's an issue of education."
Industry notice
Some people in the seafood industry are also beginning to notice animal welfare issues. Adam Anson, who writes for The Fish Site, The Pig Site, The Beef Site, and other online animal industry periodicals, noted in March 2009 that "Fish welfare needs have been left behind" in developing the aquaculture industry, even though "In 1997, the Treaty of Amsterdam agreed that throughout the European Union the concept of welfare is the same in fish as it is in mammals and birds and necessary protection should be applied."
This concept was reinforced in an April 8, 2009 communication to the European Commission by the EC Fisheries Directorate.
How much did these farmed fish know and when did they know it? (Merritt Clifton photo)
" This communication recognizes the importance of the welfare of farmed fish for the development of sustainable aquaculture," summarized Eurogroup for Animal Welfare. "Eurogroup is pleased to see that the Commission plans to launch a project to evaluate fish welfare in aquaculture with a view to possibly introducing legislation on this topic," Eurogroup added.
Assessed Anson, "Research into this area has not just been hampered by a lack of investment, but also by the complexity of the issue and the difficulty in achieving scientific, relevant measurements. A further complexity is added by the numerous different species of fish that are now used in farming. Research must identify all the varying degrees of behavioral patterns and social activities. Welfare standards must, in turn, take these natural drives into account, applying unique welfare standards for each different species."
Merritt & Beth Clifton
Natural conditions impossible to recreate
Noted Anson, "Some natural conditions will be impossible to recreate in a fish pen. For instance, Atlantic salmon will never be able to make their monumental migrations, risking life to reproduce, whilst trapped inside the confines of a net.
"It is easy to see how fish welfare is a complex and potentially very expensive issue for the industry," Anson concluded, "but the more that is understood, the more necessary the research seems."

Wang's project found that an electrochemical method of degrading azo dyes using Nickel Oxy-hydroxide (NiOOH) thin film proved to be a cost effective, environmentally friendly, and energy efficient method to be employed in the treatment of dye wastewater.
For his efforts, Wang took home a prize of US$1,000. For furthering renewable water technology, Wang was also awarded another US$1,000 by the King Abdul-Aziz & his Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity.
Shu Yi, 19, from National Junior College, was awarded the Fourth Award in the Chemistry category for his project titled Immobilization of Glycans on Silicon Substrates for Diagnostic Microarrays.
Many techniques of molecular bindings use hard substrates. One of these techniques is precision ellipsometry, which is used in Jia's project to attach glycan molecules to silicon substrate in order to examine glycan-protein interaction. For attachment of molecules to the hard surface, it is necessary to develop anchors and linkers to attach these molecules without changing their functionality.
For his efforts, Jia was awarded US$500. Jia also received a Certificate of Honorable Mention from the American Chemical Society.
Last but not least, Sim Yu Ki, 17, from National Junior College, received an Honorable Mentionfrom the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for her timely and relevant project titled Early, Affordable and Rapid Viral Detection: Revolutionizing Home Diagnosis of Dengue and Zika through Lateral Flow Biosensing.
Sim's work studied the development of nanoparticles to aid Dengue Diagnosis via an Electrochemical Lateral Flow Biosensor (ELFB). The aim was to employ electrochemically-active nanoparticles into such biosensors for the detection of NS1 proteins by a sandwich-type immunoassay.

The Science of Building Brand Loyalty


In Poland white collar crimes severely affect the investor's confidence, as well as the national economy in general. Trading in securities is very important in today's economy, threatened by the development of new forms of stock exchange offences, committed for instance via the Internet. Such offences are awkward to detect, emphasizing the need for legal protection not only of the stock market in general, but also legal protection of investor's assets, as well as a variety of financial operations.
Securities dealing in Poland and elsewhere give rise to several legal issues that are raised by civil, economic, financial and criminal law. The rule of equal treatment of all the participants of the stock market operations requires the promulgation of regulations and the enforcement of these regulations aimed at preventing illegal conducts. It is also important to note that in the development of a global economy, securities dealing in Poland can have a serious impact not only on the Polish economy but also on other capital markets.
In order to adapt into Polish legislation the EU provisions and to achieve a harmonization with EU Directives the Polish Parliament on July 29th 2005 passed three following acts: the Act on Trading in Financial Instruments (TFI Act), the Act on Public Offering, Conditions Governing the Introduction of Financial Instruments to Organized Trading and Public Companies (PO Act) and the Act on Capital Market Supervision (CMS Act). The other is the Act of July 21st 2006 on Financial Market Supervision (FMS Act), which provides the supervision of The Polish Financial Supervision Authority (FSA). FMS Act provides also that The Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) shall cover the Polish capital markets governed by the three acts mentioned above. These Acts came into force on October 24th 2005, and, together with other statutes, became "the new constitution of the Polish capital market".
The PO Act defines rules and conditions for a public offering of securities and for seeking admission of securities or other financial instruments to exchange trading and it sets out a catalogue of illegal behaviors which would violate the disclosure provisions. For example if: a person publicly proposes the acquisition of securities without the statutorily required issue prospectus, the distribution of a notification, including an information memorandum, or making such a document available to the public or to interested investors is criminally responsible and is liable to a fine up to PLN 1 million or an imprisonment for up to two years, or both (Article 99); a person responsible for information to be included in a prospectus or other information documents, delivers untrue data or suppresses true data materially affecting such information is criminally responsible and liable to a fine of up to PLN 5 million or imprisonment for from six months up to five years, or both (Article 100); or if a person, who is required to disclose to the FSA information in his possession, discloses misrepresents or suppresses such information thereby materially affecting information," is also criminally responsible and liable to a fine up to PLN 2 million (Article 101). The criminal liability occurs also when a perpetrator prevents or obstructs the performance of the actions referred to in Article 68 of the PO Act (Article 102); when a perpetrator acts on behalf or in the interest of a legal person or an organizational unit without legal personality, in defiance of the obligation referred to in Articles 38a.1,.42a.1 and 51.1 (Article 103), and also when he or she fails to make available to the public a supplement to the issue prospectus or information memorandum fails to deliver a supplement to the issue prospectus or information memorandum (Article 104).
Violations of the legal provisions set forth in the TFI Act are mostlyrelated to misrepresented information as well as to a failure to disclose. For instance, using or disclosing information contrary to the professional secrecy obligation imposed on a person is punishable with a fine of up to PLN 1 million or imprisonment for up to three years, or both (Article 179).
The TFI Act provides also the criminal provisions related to disclosing insideinformation (Article 180), using insideinformation (Article 181), issuing arecommendation or inducing another person to acquire or dispose of financial instruments towhich inside information relates (Article 182), market manipulation (Article 183), as well as preventing or obstructing the performance of the actions referred to in Articles 30.1-3, 37 in relation with Articles 30 and 64, 88, 90.2-3 and 122 and acting in the name or interest of alegal person or an organizational unit without legal personality:failing to perform the transfer of securities, other financial instruments and cash ordocuments relating to the keeping of the relevant accounts, contrary to the orderreferred to in Article 89.4, or failing to archive or store documents or other data carriers related to the conductedbrokerage or custodial activities in breach of the obligation referred to in Article 90.1.
The biggest change brought about by the TFI Act was that, in some cases, criminal sanctions were replaced with administrative sanctions to assure the effectiveness of the law on the capital market. Under the provisions of TFI Act many criminal sanctions with their imposition of imprisonment were replaced with administrative sanctions imposing economic penalties. Criminal sanctions were thus held in reserve to deal with the most egregious violations of Polish law. Polish legislator placed emphasis on a pace of decisions submitting in administrative procedure. On the other hand sanctions imposing economic penalties can be more effective on the capital market. The reason stated for changing the law was to bring more effectiveness and certainly into disclosure and to prevent violations of the Polish capital market regulations. As is often the case criminalizing an act is not necessarily an effective means of inducing compliance. Accordingly the TFI Act imposes a money penalty of up to PLN 1 million on (a)"anyone who stabilizes the price of financial instruments, or orders such stabilization, in breach of the rules laid down in the applicable FSA regulation and disclosed in the issue prospectus"; on (b)"any entity which acquire its own shares in breach of law"; (c) "on anyone who acquires shares in a company operating a stock exchange market or an OTC market without being entitled to do so";(d)"on anyone who fails to deliver information where there is reasonable suspicion that an instance of market manipulation has occurred"; and (e)"on anyone who fails to deliver information on any reasonable suspicion of illegal disclosure or use of inside information." Regulations promulgated under the Act require that entities subject to its provisions are obligated to promptly inform the FSA of each reasonable suspicion that a market manipulation has occurred or is in process. Regulated entities also must provide detailed information about suspected transactions, including in their report facts leading them to this suspicion, i.e., information enabling the identification of the person for whose account an order had been placed with them or with another. As such the report must indicate which other persons had participated in the transaction.
Recent statutes governing the capital market in Poland are aimed at the compliance with EU Directives required as a result of Poland's admission to the European Union. Membership in the EU requires the law of a member State to be compatible with the minimum standards set forth in EU Directives. The most significant directives are: The E.U. Prospectus Directive and The E.U. Directive on insider dealing and market manipulation – Market Abuse, which recognizes that market abuse is a flexible term encompassing a wide area of wrongdoing. It may arise in circumstances where investors have been unreasonably disadvantaged, directly or indirectly by others who have used information which is not publicly available. Such activity distorts the price-setting mechanism of financial instruments and results in the dissemination of false or misleading information. Such conduct undermines the general principle that all investors must be placed on an equal footing. It also results in market manipulation which the EU Directive defined as "a transaction or order to trade: (1) which gives, or is likely to give, false or misleading signals as to the supply of, demand for, or price of one or several financial instruments, or (2) which secures, to a person, or persons acting in consort, the price of one or several financial instruments at an abnormal or artificial price level, unless the person who entered into the transactions or issued the orders to trade conforms to accepted market practices of the regulated market concerned," i.e., actions having a deleterious impacts on market efficiency.
After Poland had adopted the EU Market Abuse Directive, the administrative penalties for market manipulation stated in TFI Act increased the penalties for the market manipulation. In addition to administrative sanctions, offender of the manipulation can be fined up to PLN 5 million, imprisoned for of up to five years, or both.
Considering the CMS Act, the criminally liability occurs when a perpetrator, acting on behalf or in the interests of a supervised entity, fails to fulfil itsobligation to block an account (Article 45), as well as when a perpetratorprevents or obstructs the activities performed in the course of audit,administrative or explanatory proceedings (Article 46).
CMS Act with accompanying acts consists of the fundamental regulations of Polish capital market. Emerging from a centrally controlled economy to a market economy, a cultural reaction to capitalism as a hindrance of individual equality had to be overcome. Modern market developments seek to prevent excesses by entities taking advantages of inside information and call for transparency.
Aside from securities offences affecting Polish stock market mentioned above, the provisions of the Polish Penal Code of June 6th 1997 (PPC) should be indicated as well. Articles 293-309 of PPC defines offences against business trading, and Articles 310-316 criminalize offences against trading in currencies and Securities trading.
The catalogue of the securities offences in PPC includes, among others: the offence of "counterfeiting or altering Polish or foreign money or other legal tender," punishable with imprisonment from 5 to 25 years; the offence of "dissipating false information or concealing information about the financial situation of the offeror in a securities trade," which is subjected to a penalty of imprisonment for up to 3 years; bringing into circulation counterfeit or forged currency, other means of payment or a document, as well as money laundering offence and confidential information offence which are also punishable by imprisonment.
The insider trading definition included in Article 266 § 1 of the PPC states that "a person, who in violation of the law or obligation he or she has undertaken, discloses or uses information with which he or she has became acquainted in connection with the function or work performed, or public, community, economic or scientific activity pursued shall be subject to a fine, the penalty of restriction of liberty or the penalty of imprisonment for up to 2 years".
A civil judgment may also be imposed by the Exchange Court for damage caused by public dissemination of untrue information or by the omission of information, which should have been included in documents prepared and made available in connection with a public offering. Thus, anyone publicly proposing the acquisition of securities without distributing a statutorily required issue prospectus, could be fined or imprisoned for up to two years, or both. Furthermore the person responsible for information in any documents who uses untrue data or suppresses true data, thus materially affecting such information, may be liable to a fine of up to PLN 5 million or a penalty of imprisonment for from six months to five years, or both. This law would also be violated when a person required to transmit to the FSA information regarding insider trading provides untrue information or suppresses true data. These violations are punishable by a fine of up to PLN 2 million.
This is reflected also by the provisions of the Polish capital market which considers insider trading one of the most serious offences. Insider trading is considered as an offence, which can be punished by a fine of up to PLN 5 million or imprisonment up to five years. Where the FSA suspects trading on inside information to have occurred, it can freeze the account owned by the defendant. The most common cause of insider trading is that most business people forget that the joint stock company is not theirs but belongs to the shareholders. Management only controls this entity and thereby has access to confidential information. But inside information may also be obtained through other means of access. Having access to inside information seems to lead to temptation to use it as an easy way to obtain wealth, albeit by illegal means. Therefore insider trading leads to an erosion of investor confidence. In addition it is unfair to other investors not privy to such information.
The problem of securities offences affecting the stock market, as well as different forms of white collar crimes in Poland, constitutes a very specific phenomenon. Although there has been improvement in legal system and it has been harmonized with the EU laws, there is still a lot to be done. As Sarah N. Welling said "economic crime was simpler before capitalism". After many years of a communist system and a very weak economical situation, the general public was used to petty economic offences or even white collar crimes. The approach to the matter that white collar crimes are not as harmful and dangerous as crimes committed against the person or property is still noticeable in that country.
Nowadays, despite from well prepared regulations patterned after the European Union, a weak enforcement of these laws and regulations powers the effectiveness of prosecution and leads to a disregard of the problem by the Poland's prosecution agency. Consequently, investors and other entities participating in securities trading are induced to take the risk accompanying violations to attain a fast and illegal profit, generally believing that they would be immune from because of exemption from punishment. Polish regulators should definitely train prosecutors to prosecute more effectively the conduct specified in Directive 2003/6/EC and in the most recent amendment to the Polish securities law.
All these circumstances show that there is a good potential in legal resolutions, but the deficiency of an experience as well as of qualified experts causes that investors at the stock market can feel unprotected or uninformed enough. Polish legislation need to consider how to facilitate the damage actions by investors. It is significant to provide them trustworthy terms and regulations to encourage them to invest and remain at Polish capital market.

FSC Worldwide: Training Opportunities in Costa Mesa California – June 2018
11 Apr 2018 karenwoodall Uncategorized One comment
This week we launch training opportunities in Costa Mesa California for practitioners who wish to understand and work with alienated children and their families. This is part of our development of the services of the Family Separation Clinic to a worldwide audience.
The Family Separation Clinic is a pioneering organisation working directly with alienated children and families for over a decade. Based in London UK, the Clinic has worked to build proven strategies for the reunification of children and families, across the alienation spectrum.
In 2017 the Clinic convened a small training and development group on the US East Coast. This group went on to deliver services directly to families and in Austin Texas, demonstrated the efficacy of the FSC model of reunification in a court setting. You can see one of our trainees from last year, Kelley Baker Ph.D, speaking about her work to the Williamson County Court House in Georgetown Texas.
In 2018, we are aiming to bring the FSC reunification model to the US West Coast by convening another small training group to work intensively on development of reunification skills and protocols to be used within the US Family Court Setting. This training group is open to psychologists, psychiatrists and psychotherapists who wish to work with this complex issue using a proven model of intervention which is supported by key research and by a wealth of post training support materials. The training is also supported by a twelve month supervision programme by the Family Separation Clinic.
The training takes place at the National University in Costa Mesa in California and has been scheduled as follows –
One Day – Introduction to Working With Alienated Children and Families
Two Day – Follows on from Day One – Differentiation and Development of Treatment Routes
Three Day Reunification Training – (6 places only)
Practitioners can choose to attend a basic level training only, an intermediate training which is for two days and which enables use of the Family Separation Clinic tools for treatment, or the intensive reunification programme which enables the full range of learning and reunification skills for work in a court setting.
Details of Each Training Day
One Day– Understanding Parental Alienation for Practitioners – 22nd June 2018
The one day training is useful for anyone who would like to know more about the problem of parental alienation, how it presents and how to recognise it in children. The day covers the history of parental alienation, the controversies and the complexities of managing the problem of alienation in families.
Suitable for: Therapists, Social Workers, Family Support Workers, Coaches, Attorneys, Guardian.
Cost for day one only: $175 per person with an early bird discount of 10% for all bookings made before May 20th 2018.
Two Day– Using differentiation routes, formulation, treatment routes. 23 June 2018
This second day training unpacks the differentiation of cases and matches them to treatment routes for hybrid and pure cases of alienation.
Content includes: experience and impact on children, the rejected parents struggle, assessment and differentiation (mild, moderate, severe cases, personality disorders), child's tipping point, and the transition bridge a child must navigate to maintain connection with both parents.
A Model for: Understanding the way a child recovers from alienation; A coaching model for support of rejected parents; and how to work in the family courts towards healing and reunification of parents and children. Includes interview and assessment process of family mental and emotional health.
Suitable for: Therapist, Guardians, Coaches, Family Support Workers.
Cost for two days $340 per person with a 10% discount for bookings made before May 20th 2018.
The Family Separation Clinic Reunification Model – Training 25/26/27 June 2018
Reunification training is traditionally very expensive and is confined to programmes which cost a lot in court. This training is for those practitioners already trained in the helping therapies, who wish to use a reunification model with a tested aftercare support package, which is easy to deliver and cost effective for families.
About the Family Separation Clinic Reunification Model
Reunification of children with parents in hybrid or pure cases of parental alienation, requires practitioners to understand and use recognised protocols to ensure successful intervention. The Family Separation Clinic model uses a combination of protocols which are drawn from the international research literature and which are combined with evidence based strategies for working with children affected by traumatic disruption of family circumstances.
Based upon the work done by the Family Separation Clinic in understanding how children become alienated in a variety of ways, reunification training enables the matching of treatment routes to the presentation of the problem in the family enabling the correct intervention to be identified and delivered.
About Assessment and Therapeutic Trial (Part of the Reunification Model)
This training enables the practitioner to use the Family Separation Clinic reunification model for both hybrid and pure cases and includes a detailed unpacking of the Assessment and Therapeutic Trial program which enables depth understanding of the family dynamic. This offers a clear route to reunification and supports this through the use of residence transfer, in which the child is moved directly to the care of the rejected parent. This approach, which is used routinely in the UK, ensures that the child is enabled to reconnect to the rejected parent in a manner which supports the attachment relationship fully.
It is an emotionally attuned approach, which is supportive of the rejected parent's capacity to provide healthy care for the child and which enables the child to reconnect swiftly through the integration of the split state of mind. This reunification programme has supported 33 reunifications of severely alienated children in recent years as well as many children in the mild to moderate range and has additionally been shown to work in the US court system in Austin Texas, with severely alienated teenage children. The programme uses therapeutic parenting interventions to provide a framework of attuned parenting which draws out and nourishes in the child, the split off and denied relationship with the rejected parent, in the safe and familiar environment of the family home. This reduces the anxiety and defences which can be triggered by reunification work which is undertaken in forced circumstances in unfamiliar surroundings and increases the opportunities for swift and lasting resolution.
About the Family Separation Clinic Aftercare Programme
The aftercare programme of therapeutic work with the recovering child and parents is also unpacked and delivered as part of the reunification training. This programme is based upon therapeutic parenting principles and offers a full, twelve week step by step attuned intervention to assist the alienated child in recovery. This programme also includes the testing of contact with the previously aligned parent and the ways in which the child is assessed and supported to restore the relationship with this parent.
Content: Reunification Protocols, Assessment and Therapeutic Trial programme for complete formulation of treatment route, delivery of Reunification Program and introduction to detailed twelve week aftercare programme to support alienated children and families in recovery.
For: Therapists, Coaches and people who are working in the family courts with severely alienated children and their families.
Cost: for Three Day Reunification Training with additional twelve month supervision and development programme. $1700 as a full payment or $500 deposit (and three further payments of $400 to be invoiced).

You probably know by now that I'm a big proponent of dev kits, eval kits, or whatever you call them. At Embedded World last week, QuickLogic was showing off its Merced HDK, which is essentially an evaluation platform for the company's EOS S3AI SoC. The IC is aimed at artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications. The single-chip EOS S3AI works with QuickLogic's SensiML Analytics Toolkit to efficiently identify which algorithms are best for the application, then generates the appropriate AI models.
The Merced HDK comes with time-series sensors, including accelerometer/gyroscope/magnetometer motion sensors and two digital microphones. Data can be stored locally using a μSD card or transmitted over BLE. The kit is designed to an Arduino form factor, making it something that developers are likely already familiar and comfortable with. A demo application is included that lets the user get started pretty quickly, and a bundled boot-from-flash feature lets users evaluate the company's QuickAI applications.

Release Day + Book Review: KEEPING HIM by Kennedy Fox
#kennedyfox #kennedyfoxinstafam #keepinghim #bishopbrothers #cowboys #countrylife #newrelease #contemporaryromance
Jackson Bishop is your typical playboy. Unpredictable, charming, and overly confident. Growing up in Texas, the ranch life is all he's ever known. Horses and late night partying are his lifestyles, and all the local girls know it too. Riding lessons aren't the only things taught at the stables, and he makes sure clients never leave unsatisfied. Everyone knows Jackson's a wild card, but not everything is as it seems. He may be a womanizer on the surface, but he's hiding deep feelings about the one who's had his heart since he was a teen. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as roping her in and claiming her as his. Kiera Young is well-known for her sassy nature and outgoing personality. Though she's one of the best horse trainers in the area, she's never been able to tame her best friend and the man she's secretly loved since she was fifteen-Jackson Bishop. She's waited years for him to confess his true feelings but as time goes on, she decides she's done waiting. Kiera finally meets a man who promises to give her the world, and when he pops the question, she says yes-knowing they're both ready to settle down and start a family. Even if her heart beats for another man. Jackson's certain he's lost Kiera for good and has no one to blame but himself. However, on the day of her wedding, he can't bring himself to watch the woman he loves walk down the aisle to someone else. Kiera's already having second thoughts and knows she can't get married without his support. It's not until she's at the altar that she realizes she can't let Jackson go and will do whatever it takes to keep him-even if it means running out on her own wedding.
I always know when I go into a Kennedy Fox book to brace myself for many emotions thrown all over the place and sexy male characters that will leave me drooling and begging for one of my own. I went into Keeping Him, so excited to finally devour Jackson's story and get to the bottom of his feelings, and playboy lifestyle. And let me tell you...this book doesn't disappoint. It's everything I could have wanted for his book and the last Bishop brother book.
Keeping Him instantly became my favorite Kennedy Fox book. The story, the characters, all the angst. It was just perfect. Something about his story and Kiera's feelings just drew me right in, and never wanted to let me go. I still can't get this book out of my head and I'm ready to read again. The dynamic between these two characters is off the charts and KF really knew how to dig deep into their story and feed off each others feelings.
"I'm a selfish man; I realize that but thee was always one thing I couldn't be selfish about, and that was you."
Keeping Him follows the story of Jackson and Kiera. These two have been best friends since they were in diapers and that's never changed. But the older they got the more their feelings changed. More than friendship and that's always scared Jackson. What if she doesn't feel the same way? What if we lose our friendship? So many what if's and not enough answers. Now here they are years later, never once making a move on their feelings and Jackson is about to lose the only girl he's ever had feelings for to another man. To marriage.
Jackson has only ever wanted Kiera to be happy and as much as it pains him to see her with another man, if she's happy...he knows he has to let her go. But on the day of her wedding Jackson can't just sit by and watch her marry a man that isn't him. When Kiera sees he's not there for her, she starts to question everything. Will she ruin her wedding and a future with a man that's ready to settle down and have a family, for a man that's pushed all her buttons and never confessed his feelings? Kiera could lose everything but is it worth the risk?
I adored this book. I wanted to read it again right after I finished and never let these characters go. It was a perfect end to these brothers stories. And even though I'm sad it's over. I can't wait to read more from these authors.
If you're a fan of swoony alpha heroes, feisty heroines, humorous family dynamics, and witty banter, then you're going to want to meet the Bishop Brothers! This Southern family loves hard & plays even harder!!
