Die Psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung wurde, zusammen mit einer juristischen Prozessbegleitung, für Opfer von Straftaten mit dem Strafprozessrechtänderungsgesetz 2006 in das österreichische Recht eingeführt. Nach der erfolgreichen Einführung wurde diese psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung mit dem Zweiten Gewaltschutzgesetz (2. GeSchG) auch auf Zivilverfahren ausgedehnt, die auf ein Strafverfahren folgen.

Aufgaben und Tätigkeit der Psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung
Die Aufgabe der Psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung ist es (§ 66 Abs. 2 StPO):
 das Opfer einer Straftat emotional z. B. durch Gespräche zu unterstützen,
 Vorbereitung des Opfers auf das Gerichtsverfahren und die einzelnen Verfahrensschritte, vor allem auf die eigene Einvernahme beim Strafgericht bzw. Zivilgericht.
Im Gegensatz zum Kinderbeistand und zur Familiengerichtshilfe kann der Prozessbegleiter im Rahmen der Psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung nicht selbst die Aussage eines Kindes verlesen oder die Anhörung eines Kindes vornehmen.

Der Prozessbegleiter wird tätig, im Rahmen:
 eines Strafverfahrens für das Opfer einer Straftat,
 eines auf dieses Strafverfahren folgenden Zivilverfahren für das Opfer einer Straftat,
 der Rückführung eines Kindes nach dem Haager Kindesentführungsübereinkommen (unabhängig von einem Strafverfahren).
Die Beigabe eines Prozessbegleiters erfolgt formlos auf Antrag eines Opfers durch dieses oder die Obsorgeberechtigten bei minderjährigen Opfern.

Strafverfahren
Nach § 66 Abs. 2 der Strafprozessordnung (StPO) haben
 Opfer, die durch eine vorsätzlich begangene Straftat Gewalt oder gefährlicher Drohung ausgesetzt, in ihrer sexuellen Integrität und Selbstbestimmung beeinträchtigt oder deren persönliche Abhängigkeit durch eine solche Straftat ausgenützt worden sein könnten,
 der Ehegatte, der eingetragene Partner, der Lebensgefährte, die Verwandten in gerader Linie, der Bruder oder die Schwester und sonstige Unterhaltsberechtigte einer Person, deren Tod durch eine Straftat herbeigeführt worden sein könnte, oder andere Angehörige, die Zeugen der Tat waren,
 Opfer von terroristischer Straftaten (§ 278c StGB)
auf ihr Verlangen das Recht auf eine psychosoziale und juristische Prozessbegleitung, soweit dies zur Wahrung der prozessualen Rechte der Opfer unter größtmöglicher Bedachtnahme auf ihre persönliche Betroffenheit erforderlich ist. Opfern, die in ihrer sexuellen Integrität verletzt worden sein könnten und das vierzehnte Lebensjahr noch nicht vollendet haben, ist jedenfalls psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung zu gewähren.

Zivilverfahren
Im Zivilprozess hat der Prozessbegleiter die Stellung einer Vertrauensperson (siehe z. B. § 73b Abs. 2 ZPO, für Minderjährige: § 289b Abs. 3 ZPO).

Das Recht auf eine psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung besteht, auf Verlangen eines Opfers einer Straftat auch im Zivilprozess, wenn
 der Gegenstand des Zivilprozesses in sachlichem Zusammenhang mit dem Gegenstand des Strafverfahrens steht und
 soweit dies zur Wahrung der prozessualen Rechte des Opfers unter größtmöglicher Bedachtnahme auf seine persönliche Betroffenheit erforderlich ist (§ 73b Abs. 1 ZPO).

Prozessbegleiter

Ausbildung
Prozessbegleiter im Rahmen der Psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung müssen eine psychosoziale Grundausbildung aufweisen sowie ausreichend Praxiserfahrung im Umgang mit Gewaltdelikten und mit Minderjährigen haben. Zusätzlich ist die Absolvierung eines neuntägigen Lehrganges erforderlich.

Auswahl
Grundsätzlich sind Opfer, sobald ein Ermittlungsverfahren gegen einen bestimmten Beschuldigten geführt wird, von der Kriminalpolizei oder die Staatsanwaltschaft über ihre wesentlichen Rechte zu informieren, soweit nicht dadurch der Zweck der Ermittlungen gefährdet wäre. Es bestehen weitere Ausnahmen (§ 70 Abs. 1 StPO). Ebenso durch das Gericht im Rahmen einer Diversion (§ 206 Abs. 1 StPO).

Prozessbegleiter werden sodann von einer hierfür zugelassenen Opferschutzeinrichtung ausgewählt und die Psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung – ohne Rücksprache mit dem Gericht – gewährt. 2018 wurde in 1650 Fällen in Strafverfahren eine Psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung für minderjährige Opfer zugestanden, 25 Fälle in Zivilverfahren.

Pflichten eines Prozessbegleiters
Der Prozessbegleiter wurde vom österreichischen Gesetzgeber nicht zur Verschwiegenheit verpflichtet. Diese haben nach § 157 Abs. 1 Ziffer 3 StPO zwar ein Recht, die Aussage zu verweigern über das, was ihnen in dieser Eigenschaft bekannt geworden ist, dies jedoch nicht im Zivilverfahren. Im Zivilverfahren kann somit der Prozessbegleiter zur Aussage gezwungen werden. Dies unterläuft unter Umständen die notwendige Vertrauensgrundlage zwischen Opfer und Prozessbegleiter. Dies kann dazu führen, dass Mitteilungen des Opfers an den Prozessbegleiter im Zivilprozess offengelegt werden müssen, weil den Prozessbegleiter hier eine Aussagepflicht trifft. Ob dies eine planwidrige Lücke ist, ist in der österreichischen Rechtslehre noch nicht geklärt.

Rechte des Prozessbegleiters im Verfahren
Im Strafverfahren ist die Opferschutzeinrichtung vom Termin der Hauptverhandlung zu informieren (§ 221 Abs. 1 StPO).

Der psychosoziale Prozessbegleiter darf im Zivilverfahren das Opfer auf dessen Wunsch zu allen Verhandlungen und Vernehmungen begleiten. Er ist vom Gericht von diesen Terminen zu verständigen (§ 73b Abs. 2 ZPO).

Kosten
Die Psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung ist für das Opfer in Straf- und Zivilverfahren kostenlos. Die Kosten werden vorerst von der Opferschutzeinrichtung übernommen, welche diese vom zuständigen Ministerium ersetzt erhält.

Das zuständige Ministerium kann wiederum im Strafverfahren diese Kosten beim Täter bis zum Betrag von 1000 Euro geltend machen, wenn dieser vom Gericht zur Kostenersatzpflicht verurteilt wurde (§ 381 Abs. 1 Zif. 9 iVm Abs. 5a StPO).

Die psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung wird für den Zivilprozess bis zu einem Höchstbetrag von 800 Euro gewährt; genießt das Opfer Verfahrenshilfe, so beträgt der Höchstbetrag 1200 Euro (§ 73b Abs. 1 ZPO). Das Gericht hat nach rechtskräftiger Entscheidung über die Streitsache den Gegner zum Ersatz der für die psychosoziale Prozessbegleitung aufgewendeten Beträge gegenüber dem Bund zu verpflichten, soweit dem Gegner die Kosten des Rechtsstreits auferlegt worden sind oder er sie in einem Vergleich übernommen hat (§ 73b Abs. 2 ZPO).

Musicians cooking with gas on the Bird's Basement stage.
When it comes to the cool cities of the world, Melbourne stands tall and proud. Coffee may be the fuel of this city but music is its heartbeat and, over the decades, Melbourne's live music scene has incubated the likes of AC/DC, Kylie Minogue, Olivia Newton-John, Nick Cave and the Little River Band.
While a pall of gloom looms over the Melbourne music scene, largely due to dogmatic venue and licensing restrictions threatening its extinction, live bands can, thankfully, still be experienced on any given night of the week in all their musical forms. And one form that refuses to give up the ghost is jazz.
Jazz is an addiction and diehard exponents of jazz are almost religiously inured to its appeal. One such person, who caught the jazz bug early and continues to stoke the jazz fires in Melbourne, is Albert Dadon.
A man of many talents, Albert Dadon performs under the name 'Albare' and was successful as a pioneer of the style known as Acid Jazz in the early '90s. He also assumed a number of philanthropic and diplomatic roles, was responsible for nurturing and then directing the MIJF, and invested in property development where he was able to raise the kind of dollars required to see his dream of creating a Melbourne jazz venue come alive. Bird's Basement opened in March 2015, in association with New York's famed jazz Mecca, Birdland.
A year later to the day, and Dadon unveiled the latest of his ventures, The Jazz Corner Hotel, in the high-rise building stretching up above Bird's Basement. Far from being a seedy juke joint, Jazz Corner is less about period authenticity and more about providing a slick, contemporary and comfortable pad for lovers of jazz to launch from in their exploration of the cultural offerings of Melbourne.
There are no porters or concierge to carry your bags here, only lobby staff in red berets as a très chic nod to the jazz salons of Paris. The hotel sports a self-contained apartment vibe, with 150 rooms offering full kitchen facilities including complimentary coffee pods and machine, which is a much-appreciated Melbourne characteristic.
'Birds' above the bed and LP covers in the Jazz Corner Hotel.
Jazz record covers and paraphernalia add dynamic graphic appeal to the walls. Most appropriately, blue infiltrates the colour scheme, such as in the heavy blockout drapes that create more than ample darkness when laying on your king-size pillow-top bed, recovering from a long night at Bird's Basement.
Speaking of Bird's, the 'blue note' continues into the jazz basement, both figuratively and metaphorically in a salute to the jazz label of the same name. As an event venue, Bird's Basement is best enjoyed by booking both dinner and show. Every night is a special performance night, and you can be assured of a revelatory music experience, along with an Italian-inspired menu that is worth the visit alone.
Jazz is serious business in Melbourne and, if you need proof, The Jazz Corner Hotel and Bird's Basement make a strong case for it. A word of warning: talking during Melbourne jazz performances is not tolerated and others are likely to shush you into silence if you do. But you will thank them later, because you won't want to miss a moment of the music and talent unfolding before you. It's finger snappin' good.

Walmiki foresees a medal to team India if Olympics takes place
The year was 2011 when the Indian hockey team defeated Pakistan in the final and won the Asian Champions Trophy. In his words, Yuvraj Walmiki, a striker, the feeling was ecstatic. Watching the Indian flag hoisted high as we triumph over Pakistan and that too was because of me, the feeling is still short of words to express, he added.
Until now he has played 52 matches and claimed 14 goals for team India. Walmiki, who idolises former India captain Dhanraj Pillay, played in the German Hockey league for eight years, anticipates a medal to team India if Tokyo Olympics are held as scheduled.
He was also a prime member of the World Cup in 2014, which took place in the Netherlands.
It was in the latest episode of 'Sportstiger Talks', where he not only shared about the gut feeling of team India winning a medal in the upcoming Olympics but hardships he had faced so far to reach the place he is today, his desire to participate in the entertainment industry and much more.
It was an absolute delight sharing my experiences with @sportstigerapp #SportsTiger #Hockey #HockeyIndia #HockeyPlayer pic.twitter.com/XNnsLZjQUy
— Yuvraj Walmiki 🇮🇳🏑 (@YWalmiki) June 2, 2021
"Team India is preparing really well under the leadership of Shreejesh and Manpreet Singh," observed Walmiki.
Proceeding with the talk he added, "I still have this gut feeling… In case, Tokyo Olympics takes place, the Indian hockey team will bag a medal this time. I have this strong belief in my heart."
It is to be recalled that the Indian Hockey team has bagged a maximum of eight golds in the Olympics, the highest so far by any country. The last boast was in Moscow Olympics, 1980, defeating Spain by 4-3 in the final.
"I don't have any competitors, I keep competing with myself to become a better human and work hard every day. In the end, it worked out well for me and to wear the tricolour badge on our chest is probably the biggest motivation for every sportsman," he shared while recalling those struggling days when he stayed in a 10*10 room in Mumbai with no electricity or availability of any other resources, it was his passion which kept him going on and on.

Hey Talent Magnet – Layoffs or Salary Freezes? Which Would You Choose to Protect Your Employment Brand?
Kris Dunn 11.24.2008 Culture, Kris Dunn, Retention
OK – you're the CEO, Director of HR or Director of Talent Acquisition, and you're at a 2009 planning meeting. While no one can look into a crystal ball, it looks like your company will be impacted in a significant way by the economy, as the 90-day pipeline sits at 60% of it's usual level.
With that in mind, your company has always lived within its means. You don't burn cash, so the conversation turns to the best way to minimize the cost of talent as your firm rides through the downturn. Two options are presented to help your company reduce the cost of talent, and you're expected to weigh in with your preference. Do you advocate:
A. Layoffs to reduce cost (while maintaining your budget for annual increases, current level of benefits, etc.)
B. A freeze in pay increases and tweaks other items like benefits to hopefully avoid the need to do layoffs and impact employees in your company.
What say you? Hit me in the comments with your thoughts, and be sure to give me your take related to which approach is better for your employment brand – meaning it will maximize your ability to attract and retain talent, both now and when the economy picks back up. It's a tough, but real, spot. After all, layoffs are never good for the brand when you're attempting to recruit, and salary increase freezes have never been known to maximize retention.
Notes on what's being seen nationally along these lines from Business Week:
"But there is one important way in which history is not repeating itself. Average annual earnings of workers fell for several years in the 1930s but have not fallen since. And it looks like they won't fall in 2009, either. Businesses are reporting that they plan to increase pay by roughly 3.5% in 2009 for U.S. workers, according to recent surveys by compensation consultants Mercer, Watson Wyatt Worldwide (WW), and Hewitt Associates (HEW). Salary increases are crucial because rising wages make it easier for some families to pay their debts.
The news isn't all good. Pay hikes may fall below current expectations, and while employers are planning to raise pay, they are simultaneously cutting jobs. The jobless rate hit 6.5% in October, and many economists think it could reach 8% by late 2009. Employers are also looking for less conspicuous ways to save on benefits, such as reducing 401(k) matches or increasing deductibles and co-payments in health plans. A Watson Wyatt Worldwide survey in mid-October showed that 26% of employers were planning layoffs or other reductions in force in the coming 12 months, while 25% planned to raise employee contributions for health care. In contrast, only 4% were planning to cut salaries. "Firms are cutting workers instead of wages," says Ethan S. Harris, co-head of U.S. economics at Barclays Capital in New York.
By raising pay while cutting jobs, companies can "thin the herd" while giving remaining workers "the big corporate hug they need," says William C. Yoh, CEO and president of Yoh, a unit of Day & Zimmerman Group that supplies high-tech temps. Starbucks (SBUX) recently announced it was cutting jobs but isn't cutting pay or benefits. "We have to take care of our partners [i.e., employees] and keep them engaged," says spokeswoman Tara Darrow."
What would you do? Vote with your comment, and justify it from a talent/employment branding perspective….

Penn State Board plans to lower tuition increase
Hershey, Pa. — Penn State's Board of Trustees discussed plans Friday (March 20) to moderate projected tuition increases next year.
John P. Surma, chair of the Board's Subcommittee on Finance, reported an effort will be made to moderate earlier projected 2009-10 tuition increases.
The discussion comes in response to concerns about how the current economic situation has affected students and their families.
Much has changed in the economic condition of the Commonwealth since last September, when the Board of Trustees approved the University's appropriation request for 2009-10. That earlier proposal included a projected tuition increase of 4.9 percent for students at the Commonwealth Campuses, and 5.5 percent at the University Park campus for 2009-10.
A reduction of at least one percent will be considered, depending on the University's appropriation and other economic twists and turns that occur between now and when tuition is set at the July Board meeting.
"Given the difficult circumstances many of our students and their families are facing, having a more moderate increase is an appropriate goal for Penn State," said Penn State President Graham B. Spanier in his remarks to the board.
"If we could, we would propose no tuition increase whatsoever. But that would create an additional shortfall that could seriously disrupt the quality of education at the University," added Spanier. "We wish that tuition increases could be smaller, our faculty and staff could get raises, and our internal cuts were less severe, but we must be diligent in preserving the long-term fiscal stability of the University."
"Faculty and staff salaries will be frozen, and there will be cuts of about $20 million in University E&G budgets," Spanier said. Dozens of faculty and staff vacancies have gone unfilled as a way to cut costs.
Two appropriation rescissions from the state have reduced the operating budget by $21.2 million in the current fiscal year. The governor's original proposal for 2009-10 to cut 6 percent from the University's base budget has been amended due to the passage of the federal stimulus package.
The exact amount of a tuition increase will not be known until this summer when the state budget is passed by the Pennsylvania General Assembly and signed by the governor.
Penn State's appropriation this current year is slightly less than it received in 2000.

John will help you develop a detailed picture of your ideal retirement, so that—whether you're planning retirement or are there already—you can develop a comprehensive approach to make the most of these vital years.
Presenter: John E. Nelson
So for the last five years, I've been working to figure out a better way for us to plan the second half of life. Not just our careers and finances, but our lives.
At the University of Wisconsin, I took courses inside ten different academic departments. That's a strange thing to do, but it was the only way to see the big picture. I took courses in everything from adult education to mass communications, and from business to sociology.
I was fortunate to also be able to study with leading professors from other universities, too. Like Martin Seligman, the esteemed research psychologist from the University of Pennsylvania, and David Cooperrider, the revolutionary organizational development theorist from Case Western Reserve. These visionaries helped me see a whole new context and process for life planning and education.
At the same time, I traveled around the country, studying the best planners and educators I could find. I visited eighteen states, and met some of the most amazing real-world, down to earth teachers you can imagine.
So what did all that research lead to?
At the end of all this searching, I was finally able to pull everything together into a single idea. A way to cover all the bases, and yet boil it down to a simple format. It's called the Well-Being Model. Just as you'd expect, it's pretty theoretical. You could even say it goes all the way down the rabbit hole, from a philosophical perspective. But at the other end, it's so practical and concrete that it can help you allocate your investment portfolio, decide where to live, choose a medical doctor, and find your ideal career.
The Well-Being Model is the foundation for my book: What Color Is Your Parachute? for Retirement (with Richard Bolles, the original genius behind the world's most popular career guide, What Color Is Your Parachute?) My book has just been completely revised and updated for 2010.

NYCERS invests in Israel
by Giovanni Legorano 19 September 2008>br />
Global Pensions
Jordanians Buy Israeli
Abdullah Omar & TML Staff, The Media Line: [Amman] A hero's welcome for four Jordanian prisoners released from Israeli custody, where they were serving life sentences for killing Israelis, highlights the wide gap between Jordan and Israel, which signed a peace treaty in 1994.
Carpenters hammer fellow unions on Israel
The Canadian Jewish News: The Canada Council of Carpenters last week unanimously endorsed an "historic" resolution that rejected descriptions of Israel as an apartheid state while calling for an end to threats of boycott and divestment.
The union, which represents 60,000 workers nationwide, also explicitly criticized other labour organizations that have attempted "to undermine the legitimacy of Israel's democracy."
BNC to Telkom South Africa: "Don´t enter into a deal with AMDOCS"
The Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC) calls on Telkom South Africa not to enter into a deal with Amdocs Ltd. that would outsource billing functionality to the latter. The deal would create economic support for Israeli apartheid and occupation, endanger the privacy of Telkoms´s clients, possibly pose a risk for national security and is likely to be the outcome of favouritism within Telkom.
Renowned Novelist Russel Banks Boycotts International Writers' Festival in Occupied Jerusalem
While having accepted the invitation to attend the festival, Banks realized that his presence would be an endorsement of Israel's racist policies that he had been an outspoken critic of in the past. An open letter to Banks from the British Committee for the Universities of Palestine (BRICUP) stated: "In March 2002 you were in Gaza City with the International Parliament of Writers, of which you were then president. You are reported to have told the Palestinians, 'You are not alone'.
PACBI Slams Nadine Gordimer for Participation in International Writers' Festival during Israel-60 Celebrations
In an open letter penned by Omar Barghouti and Dr. Haidar Eid, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) strongly criticized South African author Nadine Gordimer for ignoring calls to boycott the Israeli-hosted International Writers' Festival.
Boycott Israeli Goods (BIG) Campaign RELAUNCHED!
New call to shoppers to stop buying Israeli goods, especially from illegal Israeli settlements, and to supermarkets to stop stocking such goods
High Schools Against Israeli Apartheid
Natalie Shalabi
Canadian Dimension magazine, September/October 2008 issue
How Arab normalization is undermining the boycott movement
Wassim Al-Adel, The Electronic Intifada - While boycott and divestment campaigns in the West become more sophisticated and widespread, the Arab world's longstanding boycott of Israel is being undermined by Arab governments, companies and businessmen. This attempt at no-concession normalization with Israel must be countered by all those working for justice in Palestine.

If you have heard about the beaver anal gland and the story that follows it, then you must be wondering about the 5 brands that use castoreum in perfumes. In case you haven't, let us explain. Castoreum refers to the excretion made from the pair of castor sacs, which lie in conjunction with the beaver's anal glands. This, along with urine, is used to mark the beaver's territory with its unique scent, and is a warning for other animals to move elsewhere. Now, imagine if something like this was used in your food? The mere thought seems foolish and impossible right? Wrong! Castoreum is actually a very common product which is used in not just food, but perfume as well, mainly due to its scent. So how do you actually extract castoreum?
Castoreum is mainly extracted in Canada, where the government actually pays trappers to trap the beavers from whom the castor sacs are extracted and harvested, and is used as flavoring mainly in vanilla ice creams. It is important to remember that castoreum has not been proven to cause any ill effects in the human body, or else it would definitely have been banned by the FDA. However, we have always been taught that good food should be something pure and completely natural, and using the excretion of an animal in manufacturing food disturbs what we have learned throughout our lives.

Natural vanilla refers to vanilla extracted from vanilla pods, which is added to a solution of water and alcohol. However, that alone does not give vanilla its distinct scent. Most vanilla and raspberry products actually use castoreum, mainly for its distinct, sweet smell. Since food manufacturers knew that adding the term beaver anal glands to their ingredients list would be detrimental to business, castoreum was added instead, after gaining approval from the FDA as a "natural ingredient." This is why it is literally impossible to determine which brands use castoreum in their product. After all, which brand would actually want to bring attention to the fact that their product contains beaver anal glands. Would you use a product if you knew that?
Apart from the food industry, there is another industry which capitalizes on sweet smelling products, and that is perfumes. Some perfumes achieve that exotic smell with more common ingredients, which can include some of the 6 Most Popular Perfumes of All Time. Castoreum is said to produce a raw, animalistic scent which has made it a popular ingredient in perfume made for men.
We have compiled a small list of brands that use castoreum in perfumes, through Fragrantica, though most major brands do not use the ingredient because its extraction is a difficult as well as an expensive process. Now check out the 5 brands that use castoreum in perfumes.
5. Emeraude
This international brand is known globally for its perfume, and has been established since 1921. The citrusy flavored perfume actually uses castoreum, which enhances its fragrance.

4. Cuir de Russie
Next on our list of brands that use castoreum in perfumes is Coco Chanel's extremely popular perfume, Cuir de Russie that uses castoreum to elicit an animalistic response, which is raw as well as rough. And it is not surprising at all, considering that according to Chanel's biographer, the fragrance was based on Chanel's affair with Dimitri Pavlovich, who was a Grand Duke and the cousin of Tsar Nicholas II.

3. Lancôme Caractère
We are halfway through the 5 brands that use castoreum in perfumes. Unfortunately, my research regarding this specific brand yielded few results as all the websites regarding the perfume were in French, and my French is pretty weak. However, I persevered and managed to determine a few facts in respect of this perfume, such as the fact that Alain Verjus is behind the Caractere perfume which is a leather fragrance for men. There are various notes with top ones including basil and lavender.
2. Givenchy
Givenchy III, the next in line on the list of brands that use castoreum in perfumes, was launched back in 1970, by the famous brand Givenchy, which was to mark the opening of an iconic store on 3 Avenue. The bottle is considered to be a timeless classic, with the bottle being of simple build only with the slightest touch of gold on its top. The base of the perfume consists of mandarin, peach, bergamot, gardenia and galbanum. However, the quality comes at a cost, with a bottle costing over a hundred dollars easily.

1. Shalimar
Shalimar is one of the brands that uses castoreum in its perfume. Ever since its launch in 1921, Shalimar has captured the attention of many in the world of perfumes, and many believe that the use of castoreum gives it the edge which in turn has brought it recognition.
That being said, these were the 5 brands that use castoreum in perfumes. What do you say – would you buy more fragrances from these companies?

Google's golden age of search
Google has beaten Facebook in mobile revenue growth, and competes successfully in retail search with Amazon
Intelligent user interfaces based on machine learning have become a core competitive strength, with social and messaging the main remaining weak points
Rising political pressure due to Google's growing scale and influence is now a bigger concern than commercial risk, as the threat of regulatory intervention limits strategic options in partnerships, M&A and integration
US ISPs hail the end of online privacy rules
The Federal Communications Commission's Privacy Order (FCC) was overturned by the Senate, clearing the way for ISPs to ramp up consumer data-driven advertising revenue.
While Google and Facebook dominate digital advertising in the US as in other markets, the US is alone in removing regulatory barriers to ISPs taking a piece of the pie.
US ISPs now have a self-regulatory regime for consumer rights on transparency, security and data breaches; but in the UK and EU, privacy advocates prefer enforceable rights.
European subscription and pay-TV monitor
Across Europe, markets are becoming more competitive. Incumbent pay-TV paltforms (e.g. Sky or Canal+) face increasing threats from both internet-based services (e.g. Netflix and Amazon), and telecoms operators
Telecoms providers are proving the most potent challengers as they enter the premium football rights market to create attractive triple and quad play bundles – examples include BT, SFR and Telefónica. The latter is now the main pay-TV operator in Spain whereas France's Canal+ has entered into a strategic alliance with Orange
Across the top five markets (UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy), Sky remains the leading operator with an estimated 21.5m video subscribers, twice as many as Netflix
The map is now the territory
We are in the midst of a rapid change in how maps are made and used, from a world of cartographers making records of physical features to sell to consumers and businesses, to one where information about the world is automatically tracked and measured, and built into every service we use
A whole host of industries traditionally unconcerned with geography are being and will be transformed by maps and location, from retail and advertising to finance and insurance. Every business needs to know what maps can offer them
A variety of maps suppliers are jostling for position in serving this growing need: local or international, free or commercial, seeing mapping as a core or side-business. Different suppliers suit different requirements
UK General Election online - news and advertising
In contrast to print coverage, most shared news and opinion content on social media was decidedly pro-Labour this election season, with fake news relatively non-existent compared to the US election in November
Facebook's role in news distribution has steadily grown and now rivals Google's, but only a half of the UK's electorate are active users – for the platform to become decisive in political news would require much stronger turnout among young voters
Facebook was the chief digital ad platform for both main parties, with Conservatives targeting Labour seats, Labour defending them and both adopting a negative tone
Sky still on track: Q3 2017 results
Sky delivered 5% year-on-year revenue growth over the first nine months at constant exchange rates, although operating profits fell due to several factors, most notably the massive step-up in UK Premier League TV payments under the new contract
On closer inspection, relatively weak UK & Ireland Q3 revenue growth compared with previous quarters largely reflects one-off special factors
Otherwise, positive quarters for Sky Germany & Austria and Sky Italy and improving cost efficiencies suggest that the Sky Group remains broadly on track to deliver its Investor Day 2016 guidance objectives

Super Hero Movies: Excitement Level Check
2016 is going to have seven super hero movies! There was a time when four was a lot, but 2003 is far in our past now. So, now it's time to look ahead at these movies and see what I'm excited for and what I'm less than thrilled about.
Deadpool ( February 12)
Now, I've already seen this, as have most people who wanted to, so I'll be short. I was hesitant about this film. I went back and forth about whether I wanted to see it, if I should just wait for the DVD, ect. I wasn't convinced that this movie had to be R-rated and crude. Having grown up reading the Joe Kelly run of the character, plus the rest that followed in his original series, I had a set idea of what Deadpool was like.
And to be honest, those reservations are still there. The movie was funny, it had it's moments of genuine comic book glee, but something still felt off for me. Hearing Deadpool drop the F-bomb was hard to get around, because I'm used to it all being bleeped out or struck through with a black bar in the comics. I don't see the precedence for the character being such a hard R, but Fox is rolling in cash now, so what do I know? Again, I liked the movie just fine, but it wasn't really my cup of tea. I'll watch the sequel(s?) but I want be waiting with baited breathe for them.
Excitement Level = Hesitant
Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 25)
I won't talk anymore about Man of Steel, at least not now. But it can't be denied that this film is battling the bad taste that movie left in my mouth. I've slightly mellowed to that first film, as long as I tune in after all the Pa Kent stuff. The trailers and interviews for and about this new movie have not left me hopeful for Superman. I just don't think anybody involved really understands what makes Superman different. It's too bad.
So I'm split in two over BvS. One part of me is very scared for Superman and how this movie will further hurt the character. The other part of me, however, is excited for Batman. If Zack Snyder was just making a Batman solo film that looked like this, I'd be thrilled. Give us something like Hush, Under the Red Hood or just a straight up adaptation of the Dark Knight Returns and I think Snyder could knock it out of the park. It's just too bad he's been given the keys to Superman and the rest of the Justice League.
Excitement Level = Nervous
Captain America: Civil War (May 6)
I didn't need that second trailer to get excited but it helps. I think this movie shows a key difference between Marvel and DC. With BvS, I doubt a lot of the general audience is going to be rooting for Superman. We don't know anything about him, his solo film didn't really endear us to him and he's going up against Batman. Batman has had more movies, more video games, more cartoons, the guy is beloved.
Meanwhile, you watch a trailer for Civil War and it's stressful for just those two minutes. Captain America vs. Iron Man is not easy to take sides with. Everyone loves Captain America after right now. Also, everyone loves Iron Man right now. These characters have had multiple movies to grow and enter our lives and now we're watching them fight. True, the characters themselves have never been super close in the movies (unlike the comics), but they have a certain respect for each other. This movie is going to be like watching Mom and Dad fight and Uncle Spider-Man is just making things complicated.
Excitement Level = Highly Stressful
X-Men: Apocalypse (May 27)
This one is weird for me. I'm usually through the roof excited for a new X-Men movie, watching the trailers over and over again. Not so much right now, even with Apocalypse, a villain I always wanted but never thought we'd get to see. We've got a sweet line-up of Horsemen, Nightcrawler and Psylocke and Michael Fassbender's Magneto!
I think I'm just getting a little tired of Brian Singer's choices with this franchise. I've loved this series forever, but I'm also ready for some color in the costumes, characters who have the same powers they have in the comics, characters who act like they do in the comics, characters who are the same age they are in the comic. I don't know what I'm trying to say but it has something to do with comics.
Again, I'm plenty excited for this movie and I'm sure it will be great, but the franchise might need another kick like X-Men: First Class to make it fun again. But then, this movie is apparently closing out all six of the main X-films, so I better be careful what I wish for before this series is taken over by Deadpool.
Excitement Level = Controlled
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (June 3)
Man, everyone hated the first movie! Except me! I thought it fun, action-packed and not serious enough to have be bothered by it's problems. But not everything has to be Civil Wars or Apocalypses, you know? Sometimes it can just be easy popcorn fun.
And this second movie looks like everything is being dialed to eleven. Bebop and Rocksteady, Shredder, Baxter Stockman, Casey Jones, Krang in a giant suit and the technodrome? This looks nuts. It looks like the 80s cartoon threw up. I know everyone loves the original movies and the first is great and will likely always be the best, but geez, relax and have a good time that isn't set between 1982-1991.
Excitement Level = Extreme
Suicide Squad (August 5)
What is it with DC? I want to be excited for this movie, I really do. I love the Suicide Squad and a lot of the characters they've chosen to be part of the team, but something is off. Well, it's really two people.And, surprisingly, it's not the Joker that's bothering me!
Harley Quinn and Deadshot bother me. Sure, I'm just going off the trailer so I'm sure I'll be surprised by how much better they are in the full film, but what I've seen is getting to me. I like Deadshot in the comics because the dude is apathetic to his core. He doesn't care if he lives or dies, doesn't care who he kills, he just doesn't care. Again, no idea if what I've seen in the trailer is the full story, but it looks like Deadshot has a bit more… care about him. And Harley Quinn? Well, maybe the character is like Deadpool and moved past me. Neither seem to need me anymore, losing some of the appeal that I fell in love with at the beginning. It's a brave world out there and I'm outdated!
What was the point again? Oh, right. Suicide Squad. Outside of those concerns, I'm pretty excited to see how they pull this off!
Excitement Level = Medium-Well
Doctor Strange (November 4)
I like Doctor Strange. I think he's cool. I like his mini-series by Brian K. Vaughan. I like when he turns up in Spider-Man stories. I like when people ask, "What sort of doctor are you?" and he answers, "The strange kind". Classic stuff there.
But I'm excited to see some magic in the Marvel movies. Sure, it's probably pseudo-science magic, like quantum physics or something, but that will work. Benedict Cumberbatch is looking pretty great in costume and everything I read about this movie makes it seem weird and different from all the weird, different stuff Marvel has done before.
Excitement Level = Spellbound
And that's it for the year! We'll see which films meet or exceed expectations and which fall flat. I think each of these films will be interesting and good in their own ways. None of them seem bad or fatally troubled. It helps that, outside of the Bat/Supes/Cap/Stark fighting, all of these movies seem pretty different from each other. I'm on board.
Excitement Level for 2016 = Super

It's my favorite movie season of all! Seriously, I enjoy being able to go to the movies every other week during the season, though I hope that this change we're seeing is really happening and bigger movies come out year round. Captain America came out in April and is still doing big bucks. But I doubt Summer Movie Season will ever go away and it's here again! Will this year be another fantastic one like 2003? Or will it be a painful drought like 2009? Does anyone (besides me) even remember what movies came out those years (comment in the comments!) But here's my looking forward at this summer season and the movies I'm going to see.
So here's the first Marvel movie that I'm going to that feels like I'm attending out of obligation. I'm not thrilled with the idea that this is the Spider-Man universe we're going to be in for the foreseeable future. Also, it just makes me miss the original series even more, but that's a problem with an easily rewatchable solution. Maybe all the pre-planning that's going on for this franchise is giving me fatigue already, but I can't think of much that I'm excited for in this sequel. I might be surprised, or I might be annoyed.
Okay, I don't have a lot to say here, but it looks like I'll be seeing this one. The wife thinks it looks hilarious and the right people will be in town at the right time. It looks funny, I liked This is the End but comedies are always a toss-up for me when I'm not the one wanting to go. Stay tuned!
I wasn't interested, than I was interested, now I'm hesitant. I like Godzilla but I'm not sure I'm into their take of grounding it in real life. I tend to want my bigger stuff free of reality. I also prefer monster movies over disaster films, and yes, I do see a difference. But it might work and so far, the previews have made the monster look great and I'm sure it will be tons of fun.
The movie that I'm looking forward to the most this summer. If I only get to see one, this will be it. The X-Men franchise has been like a rocky romance; it started great, started having real problems that almost lead to a breakup, but they've really seemed to pull it back together. It's been two great movies since the last bad one and this one looks like it's going to carry on the good a while longer. There's a lot I'm excited for in this film and I think it's going to deliver.
Crap. There's only one movie I want to see in June and it's Transformers? Put me in the "I know it's gonna be bad, but I'm seeing anyway" category, if only because I've seen them all in theaters anyway. At least this will have Dinobots and less of the old crew. I guess it's my fault for not wanting to see Tom Cruise's scifi picture or How to Train Your Dragon. This is my penance. Also, I'm Protestant so I don't have a theological point for penance. But there was a X-Men named Penance and now I've lost my train of thought.
The first film looked cheesy but turned out to be amazing and one of my favorite movies. I'm still nervous about this sequel, since a lot of the people involved with Rise aren't here, but the studios might have known to keep the quality going. I'm excited to see where things are going with this franchise but less excited to see Gary Oldman.
Probably number two on my most anticipated list. I'm one of the few people who has read the comics for these characters, so I'm interested in what they're going to do, while nervous if it will work out for Marvel. The trailer gives off a Farscape vibe to me and that's not a bad thing. I'm waiting for a new trailer, since the one out doesn't give a lot of information or lines for Rocket Raccoon, but that' got my money already.
Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
It took them long enough to make the sequel and it might have been too long. I'll probably go, but my interest level is close to empty on this one.
There they are, the movies I want to see this summer. Looking at them, it's a weird season. May is front loaded, June and July both have one film each, and August of all months has three? I'm sure there'll be a surprise movie or two that I wasn't planning on seeing. I'll try to keep up with reviews, but since I never got around to talking about Captain America, I'm not sure how good I'll be about it this summer. Expect a summary of the end of summer, though.
What about you? Movies you're looking forward to? Not looking forward to at all? Disagree with me? Mad at me because I'm not interested in training dragons? Comment in the comments!

The early history of the Castle Hill surrounded by rivers is closely related to the history of the development of the Vilnius city. The defensive fortress of the castle went through many changes. In 1838, a wooden two-storey structure of optical telegraph was erected on top of the western tower. In 1960 the Castle Museum was opened in the western tower. In 1995, when the castle tower was renovated, a renewed exposition opened its doors to visitors. A picturesque panorama of the capital of an independent Lithuania opens up from the scenic overlook installed on the top of the tower. The castle tower together with the flag of the Lithuanian state became the symbol of national struggles for independence and statehood.

Are You a Spiritual Warfare Target?
I am aware how much ground there is for fear about this, and I have been very much grieved by certain people I know, in whom I have seen what I am describing; they have left Him Who in His great love was yearning to give Himself to them as a Friend, and to prove His friendship by His works. I earnestly warn such people not to enter upon occasions of sin, because the devil sets much more store by one soul in this state than by a great number of souls to whom the Lord does not grant these favors. For those in this state attract others, and so they can do the devil great harm and may well bring great advantage to the Church of God.
God not only loves us, He wants to be our Friend and prove his friendship by doing great works in and through our lives. This friendship and power threatens the devil's goal of destroying lives, families, and institutions. Therefore, we become a spiritual warfare target.
The devil is real or he isn't. He destroys or he doesn't. He designs and propels evil or he's inconsequential. We trivialize spiritual warfare. We blame the devil for minor inconveniences or the consequences resulting from lack of discipline and skill-building. But the devil is not a mere gremlin. He destroys the good, expands suffering, and suffocates renewal. He drives disease, war, poverty, human trafficking, and drug use. In this war he "plays for keeps".
In addition to the Devil's overall strategy, he has tactics: gain territory and establish outposts. One of the Devil's tactics is to keep those who have had mystical prayer experiences from becoming a powerful influence for good. So avoid sin. Marginalize leaders with poor character. Beware when previous sources of spiritual warfare resurface in concert. This may be the actual battle or a diversion. Also pray when bizarre events feel orchestrated and the "weak-minded" slip into strange behavior.
Are you a potential target? If you have had mystical prayer experiences, the answer is "yes". You must reset your spiritual life and maintain a "fixed determination" to press forward to the center of the castle where the devil has less power. Teresa says the devil knows those who persevere "inflict great injury on him, and, when he plans to do them harm, he only profits them and others and is himself a loser." Perseverance can turn the devil's attack into our victory.

What You Need To Know About The "Ticking Bomb" Scenario
Posted on: 2 May 2019
The "Ticking Bomb" metaphor was used to justify torture in certain extreme situations. It is a phrase that depicts a shortage of time and big threat ahead. There was a real-life Israeli case in 2014 where the "Ticking Bomb" scenario was utilized. During the early stages of the disappearance of three Israelis in the West Bank on June 12, 2014, there has been no evidence of whether the abduction was made by an Arab or Palestinian party yet. Still Israel excluded any criminal element and launched a military campaign that included the arrest of 300 Palestinians. Moreover, the Israeli government legal advisor, Yehuda Weinstein, authorized the security forces to interrogate the arrested Palestinians under the "Ticking Bomb" protocol, in order to find the kidnapped in the right time, according to a report on Israel Army Radio.
What Is A "Ticking Bomb" Scenario?
A ticking bomb scenario has been recently debated amongst different strategic and intelligence communities, decision makers, academics, and human rights activists. The scenario under consideration is that a bomb has already been deployed and set on a timer to detonate in 24 hours in a public area resulting on considerable loss of civilian life. Security forces have arrested a suspect who alone knows the whereabouts of the bomb. The interrogators have overwhelming evidence proving that they have captured the right man. The suspect refuses to disclose the location of the bomb under interrogation. The interrogators ask for permission to conduct torture upon the suspect. The acceptance of such a demand comes under the "Ticking Bomb" protocol.
From a legal perspective, several domestic and international laws have identified a clear position which outlaws the use of violence and torture by official entities. The Geneva Conventions clearly ban any use of "violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture." However these Conventions refer to prisoners of war (POW) and condemn such activities on a country's own soil. The Geneva Conventions, therefore, do not apply to the situation under review. Moreover, the torture of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay in terms of these Conventions, is legally permissible.
The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights states the UN's position on torture in Article 5: "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment." It also adds in the United Nations Convention Against Torture that the torture of civilians, combatants, POW, and terrorists is banned in any circumstance including the case of a ticking bomb scenario. This position is also supported by The Rome Statute of the international criminal court that describes torture as a "crime against humanity".
Ethical Justification
Ethically, there are concepts that have to be considered in determining whether the use of torture, in the circumstances described in the original "Ticking Bomb" scenario, can be justified. The Utilitarian Act states that torture can be justified if the total benefit derived from the action is greater than if the action had not been undertaken. In other words, if the torture of one leads to the saving of many, then it is an ethically accepted course to take. Dershowitz, in effect, concurs that torture can be rationalized in a ticking bomb scenario. Luban, on the other hand, states that the use of torture is never ethically acceptable in the modern world.
This task force tends to the views outlined in the Utilitarian Act and to the points made by Dershowitz. In addition the task force suggests that the primary human right, guaranteed by all major Conventions, is the right to life. In this context, therefore, the issue ultimately becomes one of whose human rights take precedence. The negation of the suspect's human rights by the use of torture, ensures those of a greater number of people are maintained.
Does Torture Work?
Pragmatically, we have to ask ourselves if torture will work on this particular suspect. Current knowledge suggests that inflicting the correct degree of pain will result in the response required being elicited. However, according to a new review of neuroscientific research, coercive interrogation techniques had many unintended negative effects on the suspect's memory and brain functions. It can also be argued that the infliction of pain can be counter-productive and used by the victim almost as a spiritual experience that strengthens their resolve.
There are three primary reasons that are used to justify the use of torture. Firstly, time constraints in effect rule out the use of other more normally acceptable methods of information extraction. Secondly, there is no possibility of acquiring the necessary information from sources other than the suspect, and, finally, the human rights of innocent civilians must take precedence over the rights of an enemy not to be tortured. These three pillars creates a base for the moral imperative of the interrogators which is to protect the lives of threatened citizens and this provides the ethical justification for any limited action that violates the rights of an individual.
The ticking bomb scenario is a minefield of ethical and legal dilemmas. The choice is promoted to be between the lesser of two evils rather than a simple choice between right and wrong. Several human rights activists and scholars have been arguing that the "Ticking Bomb" scenario is an unrealistic one, as it has never happened. More over the term has been used to justify the use of torture in cases that do not match the theoretical scenario. This can be clearly seen in the Israeli case of the three disappeared settlers. As in this case we have a collective arrest of 300 Palestinians initiated in few days, no solid evidence of who kidnapped the settlers, or if the incident is even politically motivated. Thus this case is far from being a "Ticking Bomb" scenario, as there is no identified suspect, no solid evidence that the suspect can provide extremely critical intelligence that can save lives of innocence. Still Mr. Yehuda Weinstein, gave the green light to the Israeli interrogators to initiate a "Ticking Bomb" protocol freely while interrogating "potential suspects" that have been previously profiled as "terrorists."

Thanks for the pics and videos!
Staff at Tower Records in the Dawson Street branch in Dublin got a nice surprise from Bob Dylan when they received a signed album from the singer today.
Saw Bob in NYC back in November. Fantastic show and band.
Just like Tom Thumb's Blues (instrumental) - Nice to watch some footage of this one!
This quote omits his hilarious belch. I've considered transferring my HARD TO HANDLE from VHS to DVD.
Saw all 3 nights in Prague..Watching Bob play the Piano from the first tier....I .e Fingers and all...Very close.....did not spill a drop of beer... was only maybe 4/5 meters from him... it was also my 41st,42st,43rd,!!!!show more then impressed....Great Venue!!!!!
video: [vimeo.com] Just a little snippet. Bob in the studio. Mick talking to him a little from the control room.
video: [www.youtube.com] Dylan on the street rambling a long long time ago. Funny stuff!!!
Bob Dylan in Vienna: play or pose?
The performance in the Konzerthaus ended with a small scandal: the master was angry with mobile phone filmmakers and broke off.
Bob Dylan noticed this, broke off "Blowin 'In The Wind" after the first verse, got up, performed some sneeringly exaggerated dance steps and barked, "We can either play or pose, it's your decision!" Then he overlooked a monitor box in his anger, stumbled over it and almost fell on the drums. Then there were a few angry, groaning verses from "It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry," and he was gone.
That's great, I hate phones at concerts.
I wish he would finally realize that his voice is so bad now that he needs someone to sing with him to blend voices and actually sound good. I honestly don't even believe people who say they like his concerts now.
How I Wish there was an ignore button on this board.
I honestly don't even believe people who say they like his concerts now.
Thank you. I saw him last autumn and his vocals were better than I had heard in years.
Good reaction by Bob, but a pity for other fans, who actually can live through a concert without their @#$%& phones. Why not just enjoy the moment and forget the need to make a uninteressting documentary about their lifes?
Yeah right! Hopefully he'll just go back to the Wyman thread for a couple of years & talk politics.
As I posted a few months, I am glad I got see the legend. However, other than gracing us with his presence, the fans were ignored/hated by the performer. No interaction with the crowd, songs changed beyond recognition, etc.
Again, I am glad I got to see Dylan. He won't get me again.
Also, I appreciate the Stones giving a hell of an effort to entertain the fans when playing live.
I'm not sure anyone would reasonably disagree with this.
The Stones - who essentially tour behind HOT ROCKS - are consummate entertainers. Their box office prowess is undeniable and largely a function of their having evolved an unmatched genius for "giving the people what they want."
Dylan, OTOH, plays sets 50% of which are songs recorded from his last 4 albums of studio originals, is a thorny "artist," constantly wrestling with his own muse in an attempt to get "at" something deeper, something elemental, something buried in the swampy subconscious of this land of the free.
Good thing it wasn't Keith Jarrett; Bob was fairly mild when it came to mobile phones, but Mr Jarrett, apparently, really has a go at the audience over phones, coughing, shuffling etc.
I love both artists though, as they continue to make challenging music.

Five Days in November
Lisa Mccubbin Hill , Clint Hill
Jeremy Bobb
Don't miss the New York Times bestseller Five Days in November, where Secret Service agent Clint Hill tells the stories behind the iconic images of those five infamous, tragic days surrounding JFK's assassination, published for the 50th anniversary of his death.
On November 22, 1963, three shots were fired in Dallas, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and the world stopped for four days. For an entire generation, it was the end of an age of innocence.
That evening, a photo ran on the front pages of newspapers across the world, showing a Secret Service agent jumping on the back of the presidential limousine in a desperate attempt to protect the President and Mrs. Kennedy. That agent was Clint Hill.
Now Secret Service Agent Clint Hill commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the tragedy with this stunning book containing more than 150 photos, each accompanied by Hill's incomparable insider account of those terrible days. With poignant narration accompanying rarely seen images, we witness three-year-old John Kennedy Jr.'s pleas to come to Texas with his parents and the rapturous crowds of mixed ages and races that greeted the Kennedys at every stop in Texas. We stand beside a shaken Lyndon Johnson as he is hurriedly sworn in as the new president. We experience the first lady's steely courage when she insists on walking through the streets of Washington, DC, in her husband's funeral procession.
A story that has taken Clint Hill fifty years to tell, this is a work of personal and historical scope. Besides the unbearable grief of a nation and the monumental consequences of the event, the death of JFK was a personal blow to a man sworn to protect the first family, and who knew, from the moment the shots rang out in Dallas, that nothing would ever be the same.

An Taisce has received several photographs of Tailors' Hall, courtesy of Mrs B Weir, which were taken prior to the restoration of the building. After falling into dereliction in the 1950s the hall was restored in the 1960s and more recently in the 1980s. The photographs illustrate how the building was close to losing a lot of its features and character. The Great Hall was missing a ceiling, the attic space was missing its floor, the building was without windows and open to the elements without.
An Taisce has called on Government to widen the scope of its 'roadmap' for the built environment sector. An Taisce's submission noted the the narrow definition of the "Built Environment" which is unfairly limited to considering energy use in particular categories of buildings only. The proposed roadmap, under its current scope, will omit land-use and transportation related emissions as a consideration under the built environment.
This consultation is well timed.
It now coincides with the wind up of the discredited Temple Bar Cultural Trust as highlighted in the Irish Independent headline 4th March 2014 'Scandal-Hit Temple Bar Trust is Axed'.
In April 2014 the Huffington Post's inclusion of Dublin's Temple Bar as one of the '10 most disappointing' places in the world for tourists, should be considered a source of national embarrassment.
An atmospheric image of Dromineer Castle, on the shores of Lough Derg, Co. Tipperary, by Padraig Ó Flannabhra, from his new book publication 'DeLight in Dromineer',which shows images of this historic lakeside village. Efforts by members of the public together with An Taisce North Tipperary, have formed 'Cairde an Chaisleáin' / Friends of Dromineer Castle ,to help remove Ivy, and conserve the 13th century, lakeside Icon of Dromineer, which dominates the local landscape.
Following a recent site visit, An Taisce is pleased to announce that an imminent meeting will take place with Mr. Joe Crockett, Kilkenny County Manager, to discuss the conservation plans for the Vicar Street houses in Kilkenny city. Renaissance / late medieval features of these houses were previously slated for demolition to make way for the Kilkenny Central Access Scheme (CAS).
An Taisce wishes to acknowledge the facilitation of the recent site visit and the opportunity to conduct an independent assessment of the standing remains.

The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim – Everything We Know So Far
Home > Movies > The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim – Everything We Know So Far
byStaff Writer
Tags: AnimeFeaturedThe Lord of the Rings
After quite some time, The Lord of the Rings fans are finally getting a new movie. Kenji Kamiyama, a Japanese filmmaker, has teamed up with New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. to create an anime feature film — The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.
The plot revolves around some of the most legendary figures in the Middle Earth lore, and the timeline will be several centuries prior to Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Needless to say, Kenji Kamiyama is aiming to blow away the fanbase with his take on the series, having viewers experience Middle-Earth in a much different yet exciting way.
So, without further ado, here is all that we know about The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim movie, as well as what you can possibly expect from it.
Dylan O'Brien Could Be The DCEU's Robin
Sebastian Stan Should Play Luke Skywalker After Mark Hamill
The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim – Release Date
The official release date for the anime movie is yet to be disclosed. However, several sources indicate that the studios are fast-tracking The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim, with Kenji Kamiyama currently focusing on the voice cast for the film. Bearing that in mind, a 2022 release date isn't that unrealistic.
The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim Trailer
Since the project was only announced recently, it might be a while before trailers and teasers are shown.
The studio responsible for animating the upcoming Lord of the Rings anime movie is Sola Entertainment. The team is known for its work on Blade Runner 2049: Black Out 2022 and Ultraman.
Similarly, filmmaker Kenji Kamiyama has formerly directed anime titles such as Blade Runner: Black Lotus, Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, and a few other movies.
If you're looking to get an idea of what to expect from the animation style, you need only watch one of the Sola Entertainment productions.
The Cast and Characters
For the time being, due to the lack of concrete information, the cast and characters for Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim remains uncertain. However, as mentioned before, Kenji Kamiyama is currently working with the voice casting department. Therefore, further announcements regarding the movie's cast will come to light soon enough.
The story for War of the Rohirrim has been set roughly 250 years prior to the events transpiring in the Lord of the Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson. The anime film will be revolving around the great ninth King of Rohan, Helm Hammerhand. As mentioned by Kenji Kamiyama, the movie is aiming to supposedly be a "companion piece" to the original trilogy.
The plot will be delving deep into the reign and bloodsoaked times of Helm Hammerhand. Interestingly, Kenji will primarily be focusing on the backstory of Helm's Deep, the marvellous and impenetrable fortress seen in The Two Towers, and as you may have guessed, it is named after the King himself.
The writers for War of the Rohirrim, Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, have previously worked on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. As of now, there is no news of Peter Jackson or Fran Walsh and their involvement in the project. However, co-writer for the LOTR and The Hobbit trilogy, Philippa Boyens, has been signed onto the team as a consultant.
Alas, to avoid any confusion, War of Rohirrim will not be forming any connections with the Lord of the Rings TV series under development at Amazon.
