The Ottawa Senators are turning to an established marketing executive to shape their business strategy amid plunging attendance figures.
Club owner Eugene Melnyk announced Friday morning that Jim Little will step into the chief executive position, effective immediately.
Fifty-five-year-old Little most recently served as chief marketing officer at Shaw Communications, departing that role in May 2018. Little began his career in Ottawa, having worked previously with enterprise businesses the likes of Royal Bank of Canada, Bell Canada and Bombardier Aerospace.
The Ottawa Senators have been without a formal chief executive since the company's most recent president and CEO, Tom Anselmi, departed after just one year at the helm of the local hockey club. Anselmi himself replaced longtime Senators chief Cyril Leeder.
Little's appointment comes as the Senators have struggled to attract audiences to games at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata: last season marked a 22-year low in attendance and the Sens are currently ranked last across the entire NHL for attendance in 2019-20, according to hockeyDB.com. The organization has rolled out new initiatives this season to help fans and corporate groups customize ticket packages in a bid to build its attendance figures.
Melnyk said in a statement that the Sens conducted an "extensive search" to find a new CEO before hiring Little.
"Jim's appointment is an important step towards achieving our goals and building on the positive impact the hockey club has on the community. As our planned rebuild of the Senators continues to develop on the ice, Jim's wealth of experience and fresh perspective will strengthen the company's off-ice success, ushering in a new era for our club and fans," he said.
Elsewhere in the Sens' C-suite, former COO Nicolas Ruszkowski and CMO Aimee Deziel both left the organization last year after short stints with the team. Mark Bonneau was recently named the Senators' chief revenue officer while Brian Crombie took on the CFO role.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! I have been in love your work since the mural on the wall of my childhood bedroom. I am so mesmerized by your style and the themes and I am so glad you are sharing your talent 🙂 Castleberry Hill ArtStroll gallery is next!!!


I made some low poly cans while trying out sybstance painter. Free download in Unity asset store: -link removed- O, they removed the link, cool. In asset store look for "cans pack" & its the first free one in there.


This year, to run in line with EAAD; Public Health England has established the Antibiotic Guardian pledge campaign. It calls on everyone in the UK, the public and healthcare community to become antibiotics guardian by choosing one simple pledge about how they will make better use of these vital medicines.
To slow resistance we need to cut the use of unnecessary antibiotics. November 18th is European Antibiotic Awareness Day. As part of that we're asking everyone in the UK, the public and the medical community to become Antibiotic Guardians.
To ensure that the information and knowledge on Antibiotic Stewardship is disseminated to those practising healthcare across the nation, a series of awareness and educational events have been developed. These educational workshop events, to be held in Leeds, Birmingham and London, will provide guidance, resources and information for practitioners on topics associated with antibiotic awareness. The events will provide an opportunity to understand how you and your organisation can support combat the global challenge faced by antibiotic resistance whilst gaining advice, support and resources to inform patients and staff.

Lee: "We're getting to the business end of the season now"
Goalkeeper Tommy Lee kept a clean sheet and his ten outfield players did their job to score in the 1-0 Easter Monday win over Crewe Alexandra.
The Spireites number one has been pivotal in his side keeping three clean sheets in their last four games - with Monday's win propelling the side further in their play-off quest.
"I think it was comfortable," said Lee. "I think we played well in spells and we probably deserved one or two more goals. It would have been nice to get more and enjoy the game at the end. We're getting to the business end of the season now and that's how games are going to go.
"The lads have been brilliant, Hirdy [Sam Hird] has been great for the last ten or so games, Tendayi [Darikwa] does what he does and popped up with a goal today.
"A special mention to Drew Talbot as well. He had a horrendous injury and to show the form that he's showing is great - but I wouldn't expect anything else from him, he's a top player and a top professional and he deserves a lot of credit."
Since his return from his fitness-regaining loan move at Plymouth Argyle Talbot his slipped seamlessly back into the starting 11, even in an unfamiliar left back role.
Lee explained having a consistent four in front of him helps him do his job: "It's not just Drew coming back, Dan Jones has played there and he's a top player - it's a testament to the squad we've got. We've got three or four lads who can play across the backline.
"When you have a settled back four it does help you as a goalkeeper a little bit easier to play in front of the same players every week from my point of view."
With just five games now remaining, Lee insists that he and the squad are focusing solely on the next match - which happens to the exciting prospect of the short journey to Oakwell.
"We're only looking at Barnsley next week, it's a cliché but that's football. We need to go there and get a result, then we'll see where that takes us."

Q: Scanner "Input cannot be solved to a variable" error So I'm a complete noob at Java and experimenting with a calculator.  The code below is what I have so far.  The problem is that the code works until I add the label "loops:", after adding the label the Scanner gets an error for some reason.  I want the loops label so that the user can choose (if statement at bottom of code) whether or not to continue using the calculator.  Any help would be appreciated.
import java.util.Scanner;

public class MainClass {

    public MainClass(){

        loops:

        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println("First Number: ");
        int number1 = input.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Second Number: ");
        int number2 = input.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Operator (+, -, /, *)");
        String operation = input.next();
        String cont = input.next();

        int total;

        if(operation.equals("+")){
            total = number1 + number2;
            System.out.println(total);
        }
        if(operation.equals("-")){
            total = number1 - number2;
            System.out.println(total);
        }
        if(operation.equals("*")){
            total = number1 * number2;
            System.out.println(total);
        }
        if(operation.equals("/")){
            total = number1 / number2;
            System.out.println(total);
        }

        System.out.println("Continue? Y/N: ");
        if (cont.equalsIgnoreCase("n")){
            break loops;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new MainClass();

    }

}

A: You need to use a loop. Labels do exist though, you are just no using them properly. Labels can essentially name a loop so that you can break / continue specific loops.

A: See the fixed class below (there was another issue - with cont), the following code works for me:
import java.util.Scanner;

public class MainClass {

    public MainClass(){

        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

        while(true){
            System.out.println("First Number: ");
            int number1 = input.nextInt();
            System.out.println("Second Number: ");
            int number2 = input.nextInt();
            System.out.println("Operator (+, -, /, *)");
            String operation = input.next();

            int total;
            if(operation.equals("+")){
                total = number1 + number2;
                System.out.println(total);
            }
            else if(operation.equals("-")){
                total = number1 - number2;
                System.out.println(total);
            }
            else if(operation.equals("*")){
                total = number1 * number2;
                System.out.println(total);
            }
            else if(operation.equals("/")){
                total = number1 / number2;
                System.out.println(total);
            }
            else{
                System.out.println("Undefined input!");
            }
            System.out.println("Continue? Y/N: ");
            String cont = input.next();
            if (cont.equalsIgnoreCase("n")){
                 break;
            }
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
            new MainClass();
    }
}

BTW, I don't like doing these things inside a constructor, maybe that's just my personal taste, but I'd rather define it in a method (static or not static - up to you) and call that method from main.

A: Your code firstly requires a break statement in each of your switch cases.Secondly labels if used cannot be applied to variable declarations.That answers why you get an error with Scanner.I suggest you use a do-while loop which is a entry controlled loop,syntax goes like this
   do
   {
      //code you want to execute,will get executed at least once
   }

   while(boolean condition);

You can place your switch cases in the do part and whether or not the user wants to continue will go as your boolean condition in the while part.Try it!

Louisiana Tech professor co-edits book on computational analysis of human eye
IMAGE: This is the cover of "Computational Analysis of the Human Eye with Applications. " view more
Credit: World Scientific
RUSTON, La. - Dr. Sumeet Dua, the Upchurch Endowed Professor of Computer Science and coordinator of information technology research at Louisiana Tech University, has co-edited a new book on computational modeling methods that can help ophthalmologists develop innovative computer systems to provide critical support and better care options for patients.
According to Dua, the speed at which data on eye disorders such as cataracts and glaucoma are collected can make it impossible for the human observer to directly monitor subtle, yet critical details. "Computational Analysis of the Human Eye with Applications" presents students and practitioners with computational image modeling methods as they are applied to many of these scientific problems in ophthalmology.
"Diseases of the human eye can affect a wide variety of people and early and precise diagnosis is critical to ensure that vision loss is prevented in due time," said Dua. "This book will expose eye care practitioners to carefully selected highlights of computational decision support technologies that are rapidly maturing and finding their way into clinics to provide enhanced ophthalmological care."
Advanced image processing, data mining techniques, and computer simulations are currently used to improve accuracy in diagnosing common eye diseases. The editors say the book can aid medical practitioners in developing efficient and cost-effective computer systems that can lower costs, save time, shorten waiting lists, and identify painless treatment options.
"Recent advances in automated data collection instrumentation that is routinely employed in ophthalmology have led to tsunami of data that is being generated, making ophthalmology a data-driven science," explains Dua. "This book is a novel endeavor to present the most recent advances in the fusion of computer-driven methods and a variety of critical decision-support challenges in ophthalmology."
Dua also says researchers in both ophthalmology and computer science will benefit due to the exposition of current techniques that are in the intersection of these two areas.
"Computational Analysis of the Human Eye with Applications" was co-edited by Dua, Rajendra Acharya U. of Ngee Ann Polytechnic Institute in Singapore and E. Y. K. Ng of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. The success of and demand for Dua's first co-authored book, "Data Mining and Machine Learning in Cybersecurity" resulted in its recent release for the Amazon Kindle.
Dua earned his Ph.D. from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and has received numerous research awards from the State and Louisiana Tech, including the 2007 Research Recognition Award and the 2009 Inventor Recognition Award. He is a nationally-recognized expert in data mining, image processing and computational decision support, pattern recognition, data warehousing, biomedical informatics, and heterogeneous distributed data integration, and is frequently invited to serve as a scientific review panelist for various federal agencies.

The basement wall at the Fire Station in Cornelia, GA had significant leaks and was being burdened by hydrostatic pressure behind the wall. The wall had bowed slightly inward and showed some signs of distress.
The wall had been backfilled previously as part of an addition project. The soil in the backfill was not placed using proper compaction methods and as a result had significant settling. Additionally, the walls did not have proper drainage and were not prepared or treated properly to prevent leaks into the basement.
We identified the problems and, with assistance from Runkle Consulting on the structural aspects of the project, came up with a solution to remediate the problem. The solution consisted of repairing the existing drainage systems, digging out and replacing the fill material behind the wall, placing proper waterproofing and drainage material along the wall and at the foot of the wall, and placing structural channels along the interior of the wall.
Compaction of newly placed fill dirt behind wall.


It doesn't just deteriorate, it explodes.
Nitrocellulose was used as the first flexible film base, beginning with Eastman Kodak products in August, 1889. Camphor is used as a plasticizer for nitrocellulose film, often called nitrate film. It was used until 1933 for X-ray films (where its flammability hazard was most acute) and for motion picture film until 1951. It was replaced by safety film with an acetate base.
Although I didn't know his name, as a student of history, I have been in awe of his photographs for decades.
Mathew Brady opened his first photographic office in 1844. To his studios in New York and Washington, D. C., flocked politicians, generals, actors, and actresses. Anyone who was anyone sat to "have their likeness taken" by Brady and his assistants, several of whom, including Timothy O'Sullivan and Alexander Gardner, were destined for fame in their own right.
I've always had a fascination with photography. As someone who loves wandering through antique stores I would often spend much of my time looking through the old photos (and coming home with a few.). As a student of history I was curious to learn how photographers made these images - especially knowing they weren't using modern tools, dark rooms, or even transportation. I could imagine Ansel Adams traipsing through the Rocky Mountains with his equipment which included enormous cameras and glass plates, glass bottles of dangerous liquids for making his own emulsions, slide.

A new hero, a new mission: meet CHERUB's latest recruit.
Twelve-year-old Ryan is CHERUB's newest recruit. He's got his first mission: infiltrating the billion-dollar Aramov criminal empire. But he's got no idea that this routine job will lead him into an explosive adventure involving drug smugglers, illegal immigrants and human trafficking, or that his first mission will turn into one of the biggest in CHERUB's history.
Born on December 26th 1972 in Tufnell Park, North London.
I was the youngest of four kids. Del was a typical big brother (sometimes a complete git, sometimes my best friend…). My big sister Jenny was my favourite because she was sixteen years older than me and used to buy me Lego sets. My other sister Diane left home when I was two, so I don't have any childhood memories of her.
My first school was St Johns Upper Holloway. We had lessons in different kinds of stuff. There were kids I liked and kids I didn't and yada, yada, yada.
Mauled by escaped panda at London Zoo… actually that's a total lie. But when I got to year seven I did change schools to Acland Burghley (www.aclandburghley.camden.sch.uk).
The best bit of school was years eight and nine when my school closed down to have asbestos removed and we all had to get coaches to another school for two years. At the same time all the teachers kept going on strike.
The combination of strikes, traffic jams and coaches not turning up was manic and we got about two days of school per week. Instead of school I'd spend all day hanging around houses trying to set high scores on our state-of-the-art Atari VCS games consoles.
By 14 I'd decided to either be an architect, a photographer or a writer. When I looked in the careers guide and saw that it took seven years of training to become an architect I thought 'bugger that' and concentrated on the other two.
I got my first Saturday job working in a Jessops Camera Shop. This put me off photography, so I saved up my wages to buy a word processor on which to write my first novel.
I bought my word processor. Unfortunately everything I wrote sucked, so I gave up after three months and settled on being an unemployable bum.
After two years of messing around doing no work at school I emerged with a grade D A-level in Economics. I spent summer dossing around the house until my dad said he'd kick my lazy arse out if I didn't get a job.
After being turned down by Marks & Spencer, The Financial Times post room and the Diplomatic Service I got myself a job as an office junior with a firm of private investigators.
1. I had a mutant spider baby with a former Eastenders star.
2. I won a big Hot Dog Eating competition.
3. I hit a casino jackpot, married a stripper, then lost my fortune in bitter divorce.
Still working as a private investigator, which wasn't nearly as interesting as it sounds. I took two months off to visit my sister in Australia and found my twelve-year-old nephew moaning that he couldn't find any interesting stuff to read.
I started wondering if there was a gap in the market for a children's book that my nephew would like.
I began writing a book with the uninspiring title KN1 (Kids Novel 1). This eventually became The Recruit, but it was more violent. In the original opening James went psycho and slashed Samantha Jennings' face open with broken glass!
Early in the year I finished writing the book - now entitled CHERUB 1.0 - but sat on it until summer time before deciding that it was good enough to send to a literary agent.
The first agent rejected the book, but the second one I approached took me on. My agent printed off nine copies and sent it to all the major children's publishers. Over the months that followed we got a bunch of rejections.
I guess it doesn't take a genius to work out that one of the publishers eventually said yes. In March 2003 Hodder Children's Books purchased CHERUB 1.0 (Later renamed CHERUB: The Recruit) and an unwritten sequel, both for publication in 2004.
CHERUB: The Recruit was published in April and pretty much nobody noticed. But the first CHERUB fans seemed to like it and the book sold quite well for a first novel.
In October Class A came out. It got a good reaction from fans, but it sold more slowly than The Recruit and I started getting seriously worried. Meanwhile I was still working a full time job and spent every spare minute writing Maximum Security and The Killing.
CHERUB finally started to take off with the release of Maximum Security. The Recruit won the Red House award and several others and CHERUB was published in Germany.
By the middle of the year I was knackered from two years of writing and working. When growing book sales coincided with me throwing a box of wet wipes at my boss and calling him a very rude name, I finally quit as a private investigator to write full time.
The first two titles in the Henderson's Boys series were published in the UK. I experimented with briefs, but went back to boxers a few weeks later because they chafed my nuts.
CHERUB is now published in 26 countries, with over 3 million copies sold, so I've got loads of money.
I'm currently working on more Henderson's Boys books and a new top secret new project which will be unveiled at the back of Shadow Wave.


Evine is taking out tax now?! Will it affect sales? Hopefully they will send out more codes to offset. Thoughts?
Lately everyone is complaining (at least to me) codes are useless after adding back in the shipping and tax.
Case & Point. I used the MAIL20 code on the new Excursion last nite.
You'd think a 20% off code would make a bigger difference.
Since I live in Minnesota(corporate home of Evine) I've always had to pay tax. I've always balanced that by shopping elsewhere if the price is on near equal terms. The tax combined with Evine's shipping cost has left me almost never buying without a Evine coupon code anymore.
Used to be one could use a code on a day when there's free shipping therefore utilizing the full discount but that was also back when I didn't pay any tax.
Internet Sales Tax is Coming! What Does it Mean For You?
Like we can do anything bout this. I get trying to get the best deal, we all do this.
May be Evine will pay the tax on certain items as new promo thing. Don't complain to Lee as he can't do a thing.
C'mon Gregg... you need to put that crack pipe down my friend.


The first outing of the Society took place on a damp misty day which eventually resulted in 18 members meeting on Lawson Road. Two other members joined the group later to become 20 in total. The path from Lawson Road led onto Marton Mere Nature Reserve. One of the members had arrived earlier to try and locate the Long Eared Owls, but without success.
The party followed the path to the left as usual locating the spot where the Owls had been seen in previous years, but the birds were not present.
Cetti's Warblers were heard 3 times in different locations during the day. Also seen was a spectacular Male Goldeneye.
We continued our walk around the Mere, stopping for lunch in one of the Hides, eventually visited all of the Hides including a new metal fireproof container style hide.
We spoke to several locals who all stated that the Owls had not been seen for over a week, however, on our way out of the reserve we spoke to another local who knew of a single Owl that could be observed by walking towards the new Hide, then 30 yards before looking for path on left by a rosehip bush. After the bush, finally walk into the scrub for approximately 20 yards to hopefully observe the Owl.
We had a great day out even though the weather was slightly against us.

STATE AND LAW IN CONTEMPORARY WORLD
High-tech law: concept, genesis and prospects
Bertovsky L.V.
Relevance. The article considers the development of law as a regulator of public relations in correlation with emerging and applying various technologies by mankind. In the process of transition from low-tech to high-tech, society has experienced three industrial revolutions and is on the verge of the fourth. The article attempts to establish the stage of modern law development and the degree of its convergence with high technologies. The conclusion is made about the emergence of a new phenomenon - high-tech law, the inner side of which is application of high technologies to solve problems that appear in the process of law enforcement, and the outer side is regulation of public relations arising from their use. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the need for a systematic and evolutionary approach to personnel, technical and regulatory support for further development and functioning of high-tech law and to develop reasonable proposals for solving these problems. The materials for the research were scientific works of specialists in the field of philosophy, legal theory, psychology, technology, statistical data. The author's experience in organizing training of highly qualified specialists aimed at obtaining a set of competences in the field of law and high technologies has also contributed to this research. Methods. The results and conclusions are obtained on the basis of general scientific research methods: logical, systematic, sociological, as well as private-scientific and special: comparative-legal, formal-legal, interpretation, statistical, and some others. Results. The concept of high-tech law is substantiated and formulated, recommendations for its further technological and regulatory modernization are proposed, and a number of conclusions are made that determine the need to change the process of training legal personnel.

The place of local government bodies in a unified system of public government bodies of Russia: issues of theoretical implementation
Chikhladze L.T., Ganina O.Y.
The introduction of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation necessitated a theoretical understanding of the established legal norms after their legislative update. Inclusion in the text of the state basic law of the «public authorities» concept, which requires its theoretical understanding, is of unconditional interest. To identify the specifics of the position of local self-government bodies in the state mechanism, depending on a particular model of state governance, it is necessary to study the experience of organization and functioning of the state apparatus at various historical stages. The aim of the study is to analyze the concepts of theoretical scientists on the legal nature and role of public authorities in the life of the state and to determine the position of local authorities in the public authority system in connection with consolidation of their unity with public authorities in the basic law of the state. In the process of research, the authors used general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as specific scientific methods - historical and comparative legal. It is concluded that, despite the novelty of the concept of «public authorities» in the text of the basic law of the state, conceptually it does not change the basis of the functional interaction of public authorities and local governments. Nevertheless, the normative consolidation of the unity of public authorities in the Constitution of the Russian Federation does not abolish the organizational separation of local self-government and its bodies from public authorities.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND FINANCIAL LAW
Administrative regulations as a type of public administration acts
Arzamasov Y.G., Nazaykinskaya V.A.
The article examines a relatively new type of public administration acts for the Russian legal system - administrative regulations. Despite the widespread use of this type of act, its legal nature, features of the legal structure, and classification remain insufficiently studied, which determines the relevance of this study. The purpose of the study is to identify the specific characteristics of administrative regulations, allowing to classify them as a special tool for realisation of various public administration forms. Achieving this goal suggests analysis of regulatory legal acts, both Russian and foreign, as well as certain approaches to legal doctrine to determine the essence of administrative regulations, various public administration forms, and acts of public administration. Based on the analysis of theoretical and empirical data, the authors offer their definitions of acts of public administration, administrative regulations, and tools for realisation of public administration forms. In the process of research, the authors used a formal legal method that allows characterising the legal nature of administrative regulations, their role, and place in the system of acts of public administration, a comparative legal method to identify the general and the special when comparing domestic and foreign experience and general logical methods (analysis, synthesis, analogy).
Category of time limit in administrative procedural law
Beliakovich E.V.
Administrative procedural law is full of numerous and varied procedural time limits which, as time-related categories, define the temporal boundaries of the administrative process and can act as an effective regulator of administrative procedural legal relations. The article examines the concept of time limit in administrative procedural law from the standpoint of integrativeness. It notes that the studied issue was not thoroughly elaborated in science, which appears to result from the «young age» of administrative procedural law as a separate branch. The research identifies substantial characteristics of the administrative procedural time limit. It reveals the temporal content of time limit in administrative procedural law. A conclusion is reached that the administrative procedural time limit results from the impact of temporal categories on the administrative procedural legal regulation when administrative cases are settled by a public administrative authority and a court. The administrative procedural time limit is recognised as a tool used for temporalizing the administrative process and aimed at ensuring the dynamism of administrative procedural activities through duration, speed, rhythm and cyclicity. The article identified the trend towards the legislative refinement of the administrative procedural time limits. In an integrative sense, the attributes inherent to the administrative procedural time limit reveal the versatility and rich inner content of the concept of time limit in administrative procedural law, which results from the legal synthesis of temporality and authoritative procedural activities of public administrative authorities and courts in settling administrative cases. The article proposed the definitions for the category of «time limit in administrative procedural law» both in a narrow and broad sense, as well as with an emphasis on the temporal side of the examined category.
Controlled foreign companies of Russian residents in the context of world trends
Frolova E.E., Tsepova E.A.
The subject of this article is financial relations of the state and its tax residents with foreign assets (stock), as well as control over such companies through various legal mechanisms. The authors examined the main global trends in the development of legislation on controlled foreign corporations, as well as characteristics of tax systems that may contribute to such norms introduction. It was found that implementation of international multilateral agreements such as CRS MCAA and CBC MCAA in the field of tax control enhances development of anti-offshore regulation, including legislation on controlled foreign corporations. Particular attention is paid to the comparative legal analysis of the controlled foreign companies' (CFC) rules in 15 jurisdictions, including the Russian Federation and identification of similar and specific rules. As a result of the research, the authors came to the conclusion that Russia is following the world trends, although at this stage it is not the country that forms them. In the future, to successfully apply the CFC legislation in the Russian Federation, it will be necessary to improve the existing norms , increase the efficiency of tax administration and improve the legal status of taxpayers.

Legal consequences for the state arising from the use of weapons against civil aircraft: review and legal framework development
Novikova T.V., Kuts S.O.
The authors elaborate on one of the controversial issues of international air law - safety of civil aircraft in flight in respect of the use of weapons against it. The first part of the present article considers major aerial accidents arising from shooting down the civil aircraft for the last 70 years as a factual basis for further legal analysis. In the second part, the authors back up customary prohibition of the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight and legal consequences for states for violating the mentioned principle. The authors investigate the grounds for the 'security exception' and conclude that the only grounds for derogation from the principle of non-use of weapons against civil aircraft is Article 51 of the UN Charter proclaiming the inherent right of the state to self-defence. Even in this case, the application of the 'security exception' by the state is tolerated by using a set of precautions before employment of weapons. Finally, authors conclude that compensation for victims reflects the inevitable monetisation of human lives. Moreover, states' negotiations reveal the controversial reality of trade-offs between them, where compensation amounts are occasionally affected by external political factors and current position of a particular state in the international community.
Ensuring food security of indigenous peoples in Latin America by the UN food and agricultural organization (FAO)
Rakhman A.Z.
The activities of the United Nations in the 21st century, as in the earlier period, are undoubtedly devoted to protection and promotion of human rights. It promotes the realization of fundamental human rights through specialized agencies in various fields taking in account concerns and needs of vulnerable groups of population, in particular indigenous peoples. The World Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), in its turn, develops policies and implements strategies and programs to guarantee food security and the right to food to aboriginal people around the world, including in Latin America.
LAW AND GENOMIC RESEARCH
Epistemological issues of research of the subject and object of legal protection in genomic relations
Semyonovikh A.E.
The relevance of the research topic is justified by the rapid technological development of genetics and genomics and introduction of genetic technologies and inventions in scientific and medical practice, which is not provided with a proper systematized legal protection in national and international legislation. The legislator's problems are caused by the uniqueness and complexity of the genomic legal relationship. The subjects of knowledge in the framework of post-non-classical scientific rationality need to focus on the epistemological philosophical foundations of the knowledge of genomic legal relations. The purpose of the study is to identify and reflect the features of knowledge of the legal protection of genomic legal relations. Research tasks suggest defining the concept and composition of genomic legal relations, identifying the object and subject of legal protection of genomic legal relations, distinguishing between the concepts of "legal safeguard" and "legal protection" of genomic legal relations. The methodology of scientific research includes the dialectical method, general scientific logical operations (deduction and induction, analysis and synthesis), and private scientific methods (formal legal and comparative legal methods). Within the framework of the methodology of post-non-classical scientific rationality, a systematic approach to the study of the object of knowledge is used - the study of the structure, functional and instrumental aspects of the protective genomic legal relationship.
Methodological function of the "genomic information" notion for human genome interdisciplinary researches
Berg L.N.
The author is convinced that a notion 'genomic information' is widespread in sciences thus justifies that a genomic information is already a general scientific notion. The author differentiates internal and external factors that have a great impact on the notion of 'genomic information'. Internal factors are digitalization of sciences, interdisciplinary research, and a new type of rationality in science. External factors are modern economy that is based on scientific and technical progress. The article refers to the theory of notions' ranges that was substantiated by A.M. Vasil'ev. It creates a new notions' range concerning the notion of 'genomic information'. It is crucial to understand that this notion is investigated in the aspect of legal information. In the author's opinion, notions' range concerning the 'genomic information' notion forms the basis for a fresh interdisciplinary law-and-genome theory which will be developing consequently. The author asserts that it is necessary to use general scientific approaches for law-and-genome information's research. In this sense systematic and informational approaches are the most significant for interdisciplinary law-and-genome theory ones.
Organizational and legal problems of the program for the development of genetic technologies implementation
Zhavoronkova N.G., Agafonov V.B.
The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that at present legal regulation of genetic research is not comprehensive and does not provide a complete regulation of social relations in the focus. Оne of the factors hindering the development of genetic technologies is the absence of a basic law "On genetic technologies". The purpose of the study . The article is devoted to the analysis of modern legal problems and the search for optimal solutions to the organizational and legal problems of the program for the development of genetic technologies implementation. Materials and methods of research . In order to understand modern approaches to relevant problems of improving the organizational and legal mechanism of the program for the development of genetic technologies implementation associated with environmental and biological risks and threats, a comparison of various methods of legal regulation and management, including dialectical, logical, and predictive methods, as well as the method of system analysis, is carried out. Results. Application of these methods allowed to conduct a comprehensive legal analysis of the current legislation and state strategic planning documents, work out a theoretical and legal basis for the development of the basic law "On Genetic Technologies" and formulate other proposals to improve the current legislation. The core powers of the National (federal) Bioresource Center, the network of federal and regional centers of genetic technologies, as well as the National Center for Biosafety have been identified and grounded by the authors.
REVIEWS. DISCUSSION FORUMS
Leader in law theory: in memory of Alexander Fedorovich Cherdantsev
Vlasenko N.A.
The article is dedicated to the memory of Professor A.F. Cherdantsev, a well-known Russian legal theorist. In the focus are creative periods of the scientist's life. Particular attention is paid to his contribution to the development of legal science with the emphasis on law interpretation, scientist's achievements in the field of investigating epistemological nature, values (principles) of interpretation of legal norms, formulation of linguistic, systemic and other rules. The author's contribution to the development of methodology of law and his criticism of the integrative approach in jurisprudence have also been illustrated. The article analyzes the scholar's development of the legal norm doctrine, its structure, technical and legal regulations, etc. His contribution to the development of educational literature is separately considered and highly appreciated. The tribute is also given to his individual scientific papers. It is proposed to systematize and republish Professor Cherdantsev's works.
He was the best among us. In memory of our friend and colleague - Vitaly Vasilyevich Bezbakh (1947-2021)
Kuznetsov M.N.
It just so happens that you begin to understand the true scale of a scientist's personality after his death. Vitaly Vasilievich Bezbakh left us on June 25, 2021, completing his life path in the prime of his talent as a scientist, organizer of science and teacher. The article is dedicated to the memory of Professor Bezbach. The main directions of scientific research, contribution to Russian civil law, arbitration process and private international law are analyzed.
Overview of European legislation in the field of creating and functioning of population registers
Trofimets I.A.
The article offers an analysis of the European legislation in the field of creation and functioning of information systems for population registration. The author argues that population accounting is conditioned by the need to solve multiple domestic economic, social and demographic issues, as well as global problems of mankind. The information of the UN Statistical and UN Population Commissions on population and housing stock based on the states' information systems formed the main selection criterion. The conducted research allowed us to conclude that there is no uniform approach in the legal regulation of population registration in EU national territories. Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Hungary, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Finland have established and operate unified registers containing information about the population. Although the information systems differ, the common feature is that the public nature of the register information is emphasized; it is integrated and unified throughout the territory, the terms "central" and "national" are widely used. The author concludes that the study of world experience contributes to the improvement of national legislation and law enforcement in the relevant field of public relations, which is especially relevant in connection with the adoption of Federal Law No. 168-FZ of 08.06.2020 "On the Unified Federal Information Register containing information about the population of the Russian Federation".

Q: UILabels cannot set Text with int My work is to load the csv text "FLYING TO POINT" and concat integer 1 and hence display on UILabel.
When i  run the following methods using iphone 6, ios 9.2 . It only shows the alphabets
Would you please tell me what to do ?
the following is my work :
lblDConnectStatus = [self constructLabelT:  _labels[40] :
                     CGRectMake( 0 ,
                                (demoViewLeft.frame.size.height - imageMenu.size.height)*0.15 ,
                                demoViewLeft.frame.size.width * 0.9 ,
                                demoViewLeft.frame.size.height   )  :@"#fff" :12 :@"TitilliumText22L-Regular"];

//

[lblDConnectStatus setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[lblDConnectStatus setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter ];
[demoViewLeft addSubview:lblDConnectStatus ];

NSString *cString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", 1];

lblDConnectStatus.text =  [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@ %@", _labels[180] , cString    ];

- (UILabel *) constructLabelT:(NSString * )content : (CGRect) pageFrame   : (NSString * ) colorHex : (float) sizeX : (NSString * ) fontStyle

    return label ;
}

And the method of getting String via csv :
- (NSMutableArray *) readCSV: (NSString *) flag
{
    NSString*  filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"novax_en" ofType:@"csv"];

    if([flag isEqualToString:@"de"]){
        filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"novax_de" ofType:@"csv"];
    }
    NSError *errorReading;

    NSLog(@"filePath   %@",filePath);
    NSString *fileString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath  encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&errorReading];

   // NSString* str =  [[NSString alloc] initWithData:fileString encoding:NSISOLatin1StringEncoding];

    if (!fileString) {
        NSLog(@"Reading error  %@",errorReading);
    }

    NSArray *linesArray= [fileString componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"];
    return [linesArray mutableCopy];

I grew up in Queens NY and after graduating High School I became a professional Ballerina. Then I had a bad car accident and decided to go back to school to became an Licensed Animal Health Tech. I spent 12 years working as an AHT at various types of animal nursing jobs. I ran my own Pet Sitting and Dog Walking business in NYC for many of those years. My most challenging jobs were at The Animal Medical Center and Manhattan Veterinarian Group. I moved to Bethlehem, PA. after commuted for 3 years to NY to manage the later a 24 Hour Emergency Animal Hospital.
The commute got too tiring and the animal adoption agency I ran out of my house turned into an old age home for abandoned pets which required much of my time. I decided to settled down, and get married. We had 3 lovely girls. When the oldest was 2 years and the twins were 6 months I was accepted into Nursing School. Three years after I became a nurse, I had a son.
I have been a nurse for 15 years now and grow weary of the restrictions placed on medical professionals whom must follow laws, company policies, and insurance guidelines geared to maintaining the status qua, keep them in business, and make money. The strain and constant demand of nursing has taken it's toll on my family life.
I now plan to focus on my family while I earn money from home on the internet and run my Pet Sitting and Dog Walking business in PA. With this money I plan to improve our living situation and give back to those whom have helped my family and myself, as well as many needy animals, people and causes. I look forward to the day when I can update this bio with my future successes.
Thank you for visiting. Come back soon! Your site looks interesting I will stay longer next visit.
You are right to question if this is pairoarppte. Pets usually need to fit into the lifestyle of the owner and some are not compatible. For example:a shepherding dog likes to round things up and be very active- this might not be good for someone with limited space or time to give to exercise. Some people have allergies and long haired animals might make them react. Cats are very independent but still need good care and grooming. Whatever you decide, make the commitment to care for the long term. Some individuals adopt animals and when they mature and are not "cute" anymore, are abandoned, or worse. Many animals who are abandoned cannot live at shelters forever and have to be euthanized. This is not to say having a pet isn't a wonderful bonding experience. May folks welcome pets into their homes and live with them almost like family. Do not gather animals from the wild, nevertheless. Wild animals are wild and do not do well in captivity. Always RESPECT the animals you care for and you may all have great company for many years. Perhaps you could visit shelters or pet stores or pet sit for someone when they go out of town to see if a particular breed is for you. Pet stores will often issue gift certificates for giving. It is also to volunteer at a local shelter to get to know animals better, and then, adopt and neuter!
I came across doublekkenterprises.com and i like it !


One of the more interesting things the Census measures is the population from "City Hall", or basically the population by a mile radius from the center of each city's downtown. Since city boundaries come in all different sizes, this is a good way to compare urban populations.
I looked at the 15 largest Midwest metros for these numbers.
First, here is a breakdown of aggregate population at each mile marker in 2010. Aggregate means that with each mile added, the population within all previous miles are added together.
This is a pretty bad showing in this list. In 2010, Columbus had the lowest Downtown population, or population at Mile 0, of any of the largest 15 metros.
By Mile 1, Columbus starts to move up rapidly, however.
So while Columbus' downtown is down at the bottom in this list, it ends up being a top 5 within just a few miles from it. Clearly, though, the city needs to do better at getting people in the center.
Columbus seems to hold its own from Mile 2 through about Mile 15 or 16, and then begins to fall back as full metro populations begin to take shape.
So now we know the exact populations by distance, but what about how those are changing over time? Here are the same miles and their total change from 2000 to 2010.

David Stairs of the Design Altruism Project argues that many collaborations aren't actually collaborative. In a sobering post, he notes that people want to set up a project to be the hub for collaboration in their field… often without checking who's doing the same thing, or even using the same name. We've observed similar behavior.
Partly it's about wanting to be at the center of things – and that's natural. And partly it's about not realizing just how much work is involved in making an online community. I'm not sure what the solution is. One possibility is the Wikipedia experience: perhaps what happened with Wikipedia is that it was a single project which gained a good reputation, gave a good experience to many contributors, was a clear concept to grasp (a free encyclopedia), and a broad enough scope to be of interest to many, many people.
This hasn't happened to the same degree in architecture, design or sustainability, though we've made good progress on Appropedia – especially as we've come from a number of different projects and chosen to collaborate rather than compete.
Not that we need to be changing names – just recognizing our limits. I can't recall who said it, but it is our weaknesses that make us great, not our strengths, for our weaknesses lead us to work with others and create something greater than ourselves.
Pardon this meditation on failure. There are many encouraging successes to dwell on, support, and learn from, and we'll continue to do that. A cautious recognition of where things go badly pear-shaped is one side of the coin of success, and we do well to keep both in mind.


This Lemon Garlic Parmesan Orzo makes a perfect side dish or meal on its own.
This Lemon Garlic Parmesan Orzo with Roasted Asparagus is a fabulous spring dish. The lemon gives it a nice bright freshness and the crisp asparagus just screams Springtime.
Orzo is tiny pasta not much larger then rice and you can enjoy it as a cold salad or warm side dish. I'd never had orzo pasta until about a year ago and boy have I been missing out, and it has quickly become a family favorite. It's nice to make a pot of this on Sunday for quick meal or lunches throughout the week.
Roasting veggies is my favorite way to make them. Just toss them on a baking sheet with some olive oil and seasoning.
This dish is perfectly filling as a stand alone or fantastic as a side dish to grilled chicken or steak. Great side dishes don't come much easier then this one. Light cream sauce with garlicky Parmesan goodness and a touch of lemon, sure to be a new summer favorite.
Orzo really is under appreciated. Its super quick and easy and goes perfectly with my Filet Mignon with Garlic Herb Butter or my Spicy Teriyaki Grilled Steak Kebabs.
Cut 1-2 inches off the ends of the asparagus. Place asparagus on baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over asparagus and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Roast for 8 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Then cut into bite size pieces.
In a skillet on medium heat add butter, once melted add garlic and cook until fragrant about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and add lemon juice, cream and Parmesan cheese. Whisk until combined and let simmer on low 1-2 minutes. Add orzo and asparagus toss until combined.


The history of the dollar and its relationship to gold, from the Revolutionary War to the present.
The history of the dollar until recently was intimately tied to gold.
Congressman Ron Paul places much of the blame for the world's current economic woes on "the deliberate destruction of the dollar," and he (along with coauthor Lewis Lehrman) has traced that destruction, in great detail, in the book The Case for Gold.
We think this publication provides an interesting view of the economic disasters that are affecting us all today. It also reaffirms the wisdom of Daniel Webster, who said many years ago, "Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been found more effectual than that which deludes them with paper money."
Based on Paul and Lehrman's book, here is a brief history of the dollar — the rise and fall of our American currency.
To finance our Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress issued paper money in great quantities. As a result, the currency fell, over a period of about 4 1/2 years, from a value of one paper dollar per one gold dollar to about 1,000 to one, giving rise to the phrase, "not worth a continental."
In 1792, to correct this situation, a bimetallic dollar standard — with the dollar defined as a weight of 371.25 grains of pure silver and/or a weight of 24.75 grains of pure gold — was established, and a somewhat imperfect gold standard remained in effect throughout the nineteenth century with the following notable exceptions.
During the War of 1812, the federal government — in flagrant violation of property rights — permitted banks to stop all gold and silver redemption of notes and deposits, and yet force their own debtors to repay their loans as usual!
The Civil War had an even more damaging impact on the American monetary system. It led to federal expenditures that skyrocketed from $66 million in 1861 to $1.30 billion four years later. The pressure on gold and silver, brought about by an increased public demand for "coin money," resulted in a general suspension of bank specie payments at the end of December 1861. This was followed swiftly by the Treasury's suspension of specie payments on its own notes.
The U.S. government quickly took advantage of the situation. In the Legal Tender Act of February 1862, Congress authorized the printing of "United States Notes" (soon to be known as "greenbacks") and made them legal tender for all debts, public and private. Over the course of the entire war, the money supply rose from $745.4 million to $1.773 billion, an increase of 137.9%, or an average of 27% per annum. The United States ended the war with a depreciated, inconvertible greenback currency and a public debt that had risen from $64.7 million in 1860 to $2.32 billion in 1866.
After the war, the question of the constitutionality of the legal tender laws came before the courts. It reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 1867, and in February 1870 that august body held that the irredeemable greenbacks were, indeed, unconstitutional.
This ruling upset the Grant administration as well as the railroads, whose heavy, longterm debt would — if the court's decision held — have to be repaid not in paper, but in much more valuable gold. However, there were two vacancies on the court, so Grant appointed two Republican railroad lawyers. The new court quickly reconsidered the question and in May 1871 reversed the previous decision. From then on, paper money has been held to be consonant with the U.S. Constitution. However, in 1879 the country did finally resume the gold standard, and during the following decade the willingness of more foreigners to hold dollars caused gold to flow into the U.S. As a result, American exports increased, wages and production rose, and prices fell.
In the meantime, European nations were shifting from silver to gold standards, decreasing the demand for silver. At the same time, Nevada silver mines were in full production. This caused silver to become officially overvalued, and some politicians wanted to increase the nation's money supply by backing our currency with that plentiful metal. To help accomplish this, they pushed through the Silver Purchase Act of 1890.
Uneasiness about the shift from gold to silver caused foreigners to lose confidence in the U.S. dollar, created a drop in capital imports, and put contractionist pressure on the American economy. Gold exports intensified in 1892, and in April 1893 the stock market collapsed. A month later, distrust of the fractional-reserve banks led to massive bank runs and bank failures throughout the country. This panic ended with the repeal of the Silver Purchase Act in November of that same year.
In March 1900 the U.S. was placed officially on a monometallic gold standard. All paper was redeemable in gold with silver as a subsidiary metal. Though discoveries in South Africa and Alaska doubled the world's gold stock from 1890 to 1914, the bulk of the increase in the supply of money during this period came from bank deposits pyramiding on top of an increase in gold. After 1900 this caused several mini-panics, arrested by infusions of Treasury money, but the Panic of 1907 frightened banks into calling for a new central banking system. The result was passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
From then until 1933, the United States was formally under a gold standard, but actually governed by an institution designed to inflate uniformly and bail out banks in trouble. Only the Federal Reserve could print currency, and all national banks were required to join this system and transfer their gold to the Federal Reserve. It, in turn, could print money by a three-to-one ratio on top of gold, and all member banks could multiply their deposits on top of the Federal Reserve deposits.
Not only that, but reserve requirements for the nation's banks were deliberately cut in half, inviting the rapid doubling of the money supply. Indeed, total bank deposits, which were $14.0 billion in 1914, reached $29.4 billion by 1920 — an enormous increase of 110%, or 18.3% per year.
To deal with the global inflation of unprecedented volume that burgeoned both during and immediately after World War I, the Genoa Conference of 1922 was called. There emerged from it not a gold standard, but a more slippery "gold-exchange standard."
The U.S. alone stayed on the old gold-coin standard, where anyone could present notes totaling $20.67 to the Treasury and receive an ounce of gold in return. But the Genoa Accord made the dollar and the British pound as good as gold, even though the English currency was not sound. In fact, Britain began redeeming pounds not just in gold, but in Federal Reserve notes. England now printed its currency with American support, with the U.S. agreeing to inflate enough to keep Britain's reserves of dollars and gold from flowing to America. Nevertheless, many other nations began to use British pounds as backing for their currencies.
Also, around 1922 the Federal Reserve caused a substantial six-year bank credit inflation by buying securities on the open market and printing money to pay for them. This money — bank reserves — was pyramided several-fold by means of the fractional reserve banking system. In fact, between mid-1922 and April 1928, bank credit expanded by over twice as much as it did during the financing of World War I. As with all inflation, this caused speculative excess. In this case, new money poured into the stock market and real estate. The speculative fever was cooled — in 1928 — by the government, which finally became afraid of the overheated economy and tightened the money supply. This step, in turn, led to the Great Depression.
The stock market crashed in late 1929, but it wasn't until 1931 that international bank collapses caused the abandonment of gold. The first nation to go was Austria. Its formation of a customs union with Germany in March 1931 was feared by France, which saw it as a step to political union. The French central bank insisted upon immediate repayment of short-term debts from Austria and Germany. Austrian banks clearly could not meet their liabilities, and in late May went bankrupt, taking Austria off the gold standard. In July, Germany did the same.
As the runs on British gold increased throughout that summer, Britain refused to defend the pound by raising interest rates. Instead, as gold flowed out, the Bank of England, printed new money to replenish the banks' reserves. Then on September 20, 1931, two days after England assured the Netherlands Bank (which had all of its capital in British sterling) that it would not go off the gold standard, that's exactly what that nation did. And since Britain had, for centuries, been the leading financial power, the world was stunned. Despite the spreading crisis — and though the solvency of some U.S. banks was uncertain — few Americans doubted their government's promise to redeem notes for gold. In fact, the platforms of both parties in 1932 included vows that the gold standard would be maintained. In late December of that year, however, rumors grew that President-elect Roosevelt was going to take the nation off gold, and large-scale American hoarding of that metal started for the first time. Runs were made on banks by depositors anxious to get cash and on the Federal Reserve by cashholders eager for gold.
Roosevelt became President on March 4, 1933 with almost every bank in America closed. He kept them shut down until March 13, when the public, calmed by F.D.R.'s promises, poured both cash and gold back into them. But on March 9, Congress had given Roosevelt the power to do just about whatever he pleased regarding money and banking, and on April 5 he made it illegal to own or hold any form of monetary gold — coins, bullion, or certificates. (Industrial users were not affected.) So a banking crisis, brought on by past inflation, was—ironically—made the excuse to abandon the gold standard.
The remaining gold-standard nations — France, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, and Italy — called the London Conference of June 1933 to persuade Great Britain and the U.S. that "gold should be reestablished as the international measure of exchange value," and that the ultimate objective of non-gold countries should be to restore the gold standard. Roosevelt rejected the proposal. He said, "The United States seeks the kind of dollar which a generation hence will have the same purchasing and debt-paying power as the dollar value we hope to maintain in the near future." Seven months later, the dollar was devalued by 40.9%, and we of "a generation hence" know what has happened to the purchasing power of our currency since then. All the countries remaining in the gold bloc stopped redeeming their paper for gold, and international economic peace was shattered by economic nationalism, competitive devaluation, high tariffs, and exchange controls. Moreover, this poisoned atmosphere played its part in causing World War II.
With the coming of war, nations achieved far-reaching controls over internal and foreign money exchange. And war's end found government officials wishing they could retain those controls, which allowed them to inflate and run budget deficits as they pleased, while still having access to easy credit, stable foreign exchange rates, and an absence of international "flight capital." This was the idea behind the international monetary conference in mid-1944 at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, which set up a monetary order that would break down a short quarter of a century later. The system was supposed to restore the currency stability formerly provided by the gold standard, but in reality was based on international trust that the United States would not print more dollars than it had in gold reserves. While the dollar would be convertible to gold at $35 an ounce, it would be so only to foreigners, and after 1962 only to foreign governments. All other currencies were defined in terms of the dollar, which itself was defined as 1/35 of an ounce of gold —and America was given the power to have the dollar treated as if it were gold. The rules also called for stable currency values. No currency was allowed to either rise or fall more than 1%. The Swiss franc, for example, was then fixed at 22.9¢. It could go no lower than 22.7¢ and no higher than 23.1¢. If the franc threatened to break these limits, the Swiss central bank was obliged to enter the exchange market and either buy or sell francs to hold its currency within the narrow margin.
Dollars, however, flooded the world through the 1950's, and few seemed to worry about the gold reserves that might leave the U.S. Treasury. But in the early 1960's, the market gold price threatened to go higher than the official $35 an ounce. With the U.S. in the lead, banks agreed to sell gold whenever this happened. They were successful as long as world inflation fears abated. However, by the late 1960's, the world assessed the effects of a massive dollar inflation to pay for both the Great Society programs and the Vietnam War. The dollar had clearly become overvalued, and gold's price undervalued.
Britain was the first major nation to violate the fixed-exchange regime by devaluing the pound in November 1967. This caused a large flight into gold, the first of the postwar era. Billions of dollars were spent by central banks in the next four months, trying to force down the market price of gold. Finally, in March 1968, governments gave up their efforts to control the market.
From March 1968 to August 1971, the political world pretended that the dollar was still convertible, partly because of the moderate lessening of American inflation during the recession of 1969/1970. But after that brief respite, our printing presses went back into high gear, and by early 1971 astute financial observers began to sense the imminent collapse of the dollar. The outflow of funds from New York to European money markets accelerated, forcing most European currencies hard against their upper ceilings.
Because Germany, in particular, had maintained a low inflation rate, dollars poured into that country, which was forced to buy them in mounting volume — more than $1 billion on May 3 and 4, 1971 and a further $1 billion during the first 40 minutes of trading on May 5. At that point the German central bank let the value of the mark float. Neighboring countries, afraid of seeing now-homeless dollars careen across their own borders, were quick to join Germany.
On August 6 more than $1 billion in gold and other reserve assets were drained from the U.S. Treasury, and over that next week almost $4 billion fled the country. During the week ending Friday, August 13, the U.S. Treasury borrowed almost $3 billion in foreign currency to try—unsuccessfully—to halt the dollar's decline by buying back dollars with that on-loan currency. On August 15, 1971 President Nixon effectively declared international bankruptcy, announcing that no more gold would be given for dollars. There were then absolutely no checks on the ability of the United States to inflate.
Massive runs continued on the dollar, belying Nixon's claim that a dollar separated from gold would "never again be subject to international speculation." Finally, on January 24, 1973 the Swiss government stopped supporting the dollar. Other governments quickly followed. One month later, the entire fixed rate order collapsed.
What we've had since that breakdown is a constant withering away of the value of all currencies in terms of gold. The floating-rate system has given complete control of the value of each currency to the respective governments, so it should come as no surprise that the past decade has seen a marked jump in the world's average annual rate of inflation and that the threat of world trade wars is greater now than at any time since the last regime of floating exchange rates: the Depression-ridden 1930's. Nor is it an accident that our country's highest, most accelerated rate of inflation has occurred since 1971, when the U.S. went over completely to flat (nonredeemable) money. Since then, gold prices have increased twentyfold, the consumer price index has gone up 128%, and the annual trade deficit 1,146%.
The climax of this policy came in October 1979, when—as a result of international pressure, weakness of the dollar, gold at $600 an ounce, and silver at $25 an ounce—the Federal Reserve started concentrating more on decreasing the money supply (which has been growing three times faster than the real economy) than on holding down interest rates.
Now, because there's no long-term trust in money, the world is precariously dependent on short-term debt with high interest rates. The unprecedented cost of borrowing money has made it unlikely that a group of 22 nations, which together owe American banks more than $52 billion, will be able to pay their debts. This is forcing taxpayers of rich lands to subsidize loans to poor countries, so that they in turn can repay commercial banks. For a decade these banks have made reckless loans, because they believed until recently that they could make higher than ordinary interest income by financing risky investments — which, if they went bad, would be repaid either by tax money sent to replenish the treasuries of bankrupt governments or (indirectly) through more inflation.
Then, in 1980, the Federal Reserve System obtained legal authority to monetize such debts by buying foreign bonds guaranteed by the countries' governments. More than $2 billion in Federal Reserve notes was issued upon such collateral in 1982, including some backed by Italian lira bonds.
Jim Davidson, founder and chairman of the National Taxpayers Union, wrote in a recent issue of Reason: "The mechanism is in place for a worldwide inflation of unprecedented proportions.... If the choice is narrowed to one of two alternatives — printing money at whatever rate necessary to preserve the entire world's debt structure or falling into a deflationary collapse — the government will print money."
And it's already happening. In order to lower interest rates (temporarily, at least), the Federal Reserve has, since the closing months of '82, gone back to the policy of increasing the money supply. Bank reserves plus currency held by the public (a sum that economists refer to as M1) grew by less than $3 billion between January and July of 1982. But from August through November, they increased by nearly $24 billion and by $600 million in the second week of December alone, bringing our M1 to over $475 billion. Such increases, however, can only postpone the all but inevitable monetary collapse waiting in our future, unless—as Jim Davidson has suggested—"we use the present crisis as an opening for real reform."

1.12.2 was an update for Minecraft: Java Edition released on September 18, 2017. It is not compatible with 1.12 and 1.12.1 servers. This was the first version of the Java version (originally called just Minecraft) to display the new official title, Minecraft: Java Edition.
Changed the menu screen logo to have the subtitle "Minecraft: Java Edition". This subtitle is a separate texture.
On April 1, 2018, all textures in 1.12.2 were temporarily replaced – they were changed to include a smaller range of colors, falsely told to be the new textures previously announced (as a joke for April Fools).
