My interest in the news of the new show peaked at "high curiosity" at seeing the headline about a new Trek series. Then I read the article itself. The NY Post has a great write-up that covers the problems.
Don't get me wrong ... I don't want to sound like the old curmudgeon who rejects anything new, because I'm not.
That said, though, I just don't trust modern Hollywood to get within light-years of correctly doing Trek.
For that to be overcome you'd have to show me that it was somebody like Ron Moore, Ira Behr, Manny Coto, or some wanktastic alliance of the three running it. Instead we get part of the JJ-Trek writing team. Kurtzman has a fine-looking resume, sure, in the sense of making profitable Hollywood fluff, but all indications are that he's a fruit loop like his old pal Orci. I haven't seen most of his work, but titles like "Cowboys & Aliens" and his work with shallow blockbusters do not inspire. What little I have seen of Scorpion was only watchable because of the death stares of Robert Patrick and the eminently stare-at-the-TV-worthy Katharine McPhee. That's casting, not story. A good story can overcome bad casting ... Person of Interest caught my attention despite main dude Jim Caviezel (though the other nerdy dude and Amy Acker's spot-on psycho-hottie performance do counterbalance).
Back to the point, though, to borrow from not-Trek, I have a very bad feeling about this. Fortunately, though, the decision to put it on a subscription service that will fail (a la the UPN decision back in the day, but worse) probably means it will not trouble us for very long. Even though it is now cheaper and easier than ever to make sci-fi that looks like it has decent production values, a sci-fi show is a rather ambitious original series and flagship for such a service, especially with the bar having been set so high in the past.
This also pretty much guarantees no DS9 in HD for the foreseeable future, which is a huge loss, and I presume they'll want to strip Trek off of Netflix soon. I'd pay to see DS9 in HD, but CBS insists on not shutting up and taking my money. Instead, they want to waste it. They will do so without my support.

You are coming across as a bit of a snob. The drastic differences between TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise are no more drastic then those of ST09 and into darkness, and 09 and into darkness don't add anything silly that wasn't already there in Star trek.
It may be a good idea for you to write an in depth explanation as to what you feel is not "Star Treky" about Star Trek 2009 and Into Darkness if you haven't already

Apperently it will be on tv and streaming lest thats how it reads besides its simply the future of tv ots best star trek takes advanage instead of being at the mercy of out of date Nelson rateings...plus! I believe cbs doesnt have the ip rights for the movie universe which is held by paramount so we may get prime universe for the series
You're spot on! I'd just add the late Michael Piller's name to the greats. Now, that was a man who understood Star Trek. Honestly, the whole nuTrek has been a creative disaster precisely because Kurtzman and Orci are just bad writers. And the silly subscription cow-milking scheme isn't going to help. It pains me to see what's become of Star Trek. :(

I've rather enjoyed NuTrek, as it appears to be known, and most decidedly don't want a return to the stale and fatigued repetitive stuff that was VOY and ENT. That said, STID grows weaker with repeated viewing (unlike ST09), and could that formula sustain a series?
I'm concerned as to what this subscription business means for me here in the UK. The major TV services (Sky and Virgin) don't tend to offer subscription services for one-off channels, instead doing packages. Netflix and Amazon Prime are available, but I don't think Trek will end up there. I certainly hope not!
Time will be the judge. As it is of all things.

Seriously, dude? Supernova that can destroy galaxy, cadet who become a captain of Federation's flagship after only one mission, Shinzon's retarded "brother" who could easily save Romulus but decided to get stupid revenge on innocent people, without any rhyme or reason, dude with sword being sent to fight people who could destroy planets - like if energy guns didn't exist - Vulcan seending information about "seismic activity" instead of informing Starfleet that they are under attack, mining ship armed to the teeth with guns bigger and better than those installed on military vessels, people being exiled on ice planets, instead of being locked up in the brig, ice planet and desert planet being almost at the same distance from the sun... Should I continue? I don't have, because it is self evident that level of stupidity seen in "$tar Trek 2009" is unparalleled.
I hate $tar Trek 2009 with a passion, so I have no hope that Kurtzman who wrote this movie will do any better as producer. My only hope is that they will leave my favorite TNG alone, and they won't ruin it, like they ruin TOS.
Gotta admit, I'm not holding out much hope for this either. After the one-two knuckleduster gut punches that were Stargate: Universe and Torchwood: Miracle Day, I pretty gave up any hope of TV sci-fi ever being good again, and one of the sad clowns who wrote Into Darkness (really, it's telling when you're secondary villain draws can draw parallels to the main villain of friggin' Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance) being the producer on this thing is the final nail the coffin for any enthusiasm I might otherwise have had. Obviously I'll still check it out, but I simply have to go in expecting it to be bad, if only for the sake of my heart. I had a hard enough time piecing its shattered remains back together after SGU and I won't make the same mistake again...

Well Trump's police state is happening. Free travel looks to be gone. Travel in New Mexico highways you can be stopped and asked "are you a US citizen". This is the equivalent and is of "show me your papers".
This is America in 2017.
I assume ICE will expand this into the Northern states soon. Let's face it New England is smaller then Texas so no reason not to do it. Not sure about New Mexico maybe size of Maine (will google it later) Equal protection I would think would mean all parts of US has to be treated the same.
The woman needs to sue the Border Patrol for hindering her right to free travel without proving citizenship. Its not like a checkpoint for drunk driving since drunk driving is illegal.
If she was travelig from Mexico to US it would be fine to ask at a border checkpoint. Withen the border? Nope. You should never be asked.

The process engineers at a major chemical manufacturer were stumped. They were regularly getting very poor response times from their process temperature sensors and simply could not figure out why. The response times to temperature changes were consistently close to 30 minutes longer than they should have been, but all of the system diagnostic tests showed there was no problem with the sensing instruments. After checking everything they could think of, the engineers contacted the provider of the temperature sensors and explained the problem. However, technical staff of that well-known instrument maker could not explain the unusual lag in their resistance temperature detector-type sensors. Keep in mind that temperature control is essential in almost all chemical processes, and a half-hour lag is a major issue. Inaccurate temperature control can lead to expensive problems, such as spoiled batches, or, in a worst-case scenario, even lead to fugitive emissions or process leaks through damaged seals in valves, instruments, and equipment.
In search of a solution, the lead Control System Engineer at the plant consulted with a temperature specialist from WIKA Instrument. Within just a few minutes of conversation, WIKA's temperature specialist was pretty sure he had a good idea what the problem was. He had heard of this lag problem before: It was almost always related to the sensor tip not actually making contact with the media to be measured. It is generally necessary to have direct contact between the sensor tip and the process media pipe or storage tank wall in order to get a near-immediate temperature reading. Any kind of a gap between the tip and the surface to be measured will result in a lag before the heat is transferred to the sensor. After a plant walkthrough, the temperature specialist's initial suspicion was confirmed. The temperature sensors weren't long enough to touch the bottom surface of the process wells. This was causing the reading delay.
WIKA's temperature engineering team suggested that a spring-loaded RTD (resistance temperature detector) assembly was the best way to make sure the sensor tip reached the inside bottom of extra-deep thermowells. WIKA provided the maintenance team at the plant with three sample spring-loaded sensor assemblies, which passed all tests and interfaced seamlessly with the plant's distributed control sensors (DCS). The new temperature sensors have performed flawlessly, plant management is happy and WIKA has another satisfied customer who has already expressed an interest in future temperature sensor business.

China's Surprisingly Robust System of Marine Protection
China is not slouching on its marine protection efforts—domestically, at least.
by Brian Owens
January 5, 2022 | 750 words, about 3 minutes
China, as the world's largest producer and consumer of seafood, is well known for its voracious international fishing fleet. But a comprehensive understanding of the country's efforts on marine protection, at least in its domestic waters, has remained elusive—even to many experts within China. Now, an international group of researchers has compiled the first database of marine conservation efforts in the country, and it is more extensive than many expected.
Ellen Pikitch, who studies ocean conservation at Stony Brook University in New York, first started looking into China's marine protected areas (MPAs) after she learned of their existence at a fisheries workshop in China in 2014. "I was surprised because I have worked on ocean conservation for a long time but had never heard of them," she says.
China does not have a publicly available database of its marine conservation areas, and the country has only entered about 15 into the World Database on Protected Areas, which is run by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. So Pikitch teamed up with colleagues including Guifang Xue, a law professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University who has helped write the legislation for some of China's MPAs, and they built their own database.
Since there was no single source that they could consult to learn about China's various MPAs, the team instead spent months trawling through old books, news reports, and press releases, and consulted a variety of different government agencies and officials at the national, provincial, and municipal levels. They also visited about 30 different protected areas to get a better idea of how they are managed. "It was really like putting together a jigsaw puzzle," says Pikitch.
In the end, the team found that China has 326 protected areas covering almost 13 percent of its territorial waters—and they are still not entirely sure they found all of them. That exceeds the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity's target of protecting 10 percent of coastal and marine areas by 2020. Many countries have now expanded that target to 30 percent by 2030, though China has not made that commitment.
The research describes China's marine conservation areas as falling into three main categories. Marine nature reserves offer the most protection; these no-take areas are designed to protect rare or endangered species and ecosystems. Next are special marine protected areas, which focus on the sustainable use of sensitive or rare natural resources. Special marine protected areas allow for research, aquaculture, ecotourism, and some sustainable fishing. The least stringent category is aquatic germplasm reserves. These sites protect commercially valuable fish species by targeting important breeding and nursery grounds, as well as migration routes.
Perhaps most intriguingly, Pikitch and her team found that while so-called paper parks—MPAs that exist on paper but have little to no enforcement—are a big problem for marine conservation around the world, that does not appear to be an issue in China. "All of them are implemented, with staff, a management plan, regular surveys, and many even have interpretive centers," Pikitch says. "None are paper parks."
With most of China's domestic fisheries in poor shape after decades of overfishing, Pikitch says this network of MPAs and other conservation areas could be a jumping-off point for recovery. "This may be one of the best hopes for China to restore its marine ecosystem," she says.
Philip Chou, a senior advisor for science and strategy with the marine conservation group Oceana, points out that there are still gaps in China's protected area network. In particular, he says, there is not much protection for ecosystems in deeper waters.
In China, 22 percent of shallow habitats in water less than 10 meters deep are fully or highly protected, and 20 percent of waters 10 to 50 meters deep are conserved to some degree. Less than five percent of China's deep waters, however, are protected. Habitats such as underwater canyons and seamounts beyond the continental shelf have no protection. Protecting those areas could be politically difficult, he says, because that is where the country's industrial fleet is fishing.
China's industrial fleet also has a bad track record when it comes to illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing, and exploiting the coasts of developing countries by engaging in inequitable or opaque access agreements. Having strong conservation protections at home needs to be coupled with better practices internationally, says Chou.
"China could have a tremendous role in marine protection because they are present in every ocean," he says. "But I don't feel they are stepping up to the plate yet."

Arch Linux: Letting You Build Your Linux System From Scratch
For Linux power users, it's highly desirable to be able to completely customize your system. Sometimes, that can be best achieved from the start — by piecing together the components that you'd like to include on your system. This way, as there are usually multiple programs that achieve the same result in different manners, you can pick those applications which you're most fond of. Most common desktop distributions don't make this high level of customization very possible (as it's not ideal and more difficult), but Arch Linux isn't like most distributions.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop: Better Than Red Hat?
Recently, I took a closer look at Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or "RHEL", to see how good of an enterprise desktop operating system it really is. However, Red Hat isn't the only company in the Linux enterprise desktop market — there's also SUSE. SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, or "SLED" costs $120 for a one-year subscription, and offers different technologies and software to get the job done. But just what can SLED offer, and how is it different to Red Hat's offering?

Not too long ago, I covered CentOS, a free operating system that is rebuilt from packages of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or "RHEL". While CentOS may be a nice way to get enterprise-quality software on your systems without spending a dime, it may still be worth a look at the real deal. So what features does Red Hat Enterprise Linux (which costs $299 per year) include that make it worthwhile to use on enterprise desktops, and is it ultimately the best enterprise desktop solution?
Gnome-Based Desktop Environments Explained: MATE vs. Gnome Shell vs. Unity vs. Cinnamon
Ever since Gnome went ahead with their Gnome Shell idea, the Linux community has been at a frenzy to find a new desktop environment that is right for them. A majority of users used Gnome 2, but the introduction of Gnome 3 attracted a lot of users, forking Gnome 2 into MATE, modifying it with Cinnamon and Unity, or flock completely away from anything Gnome-related to desktop environments such as Xfce, LXDE, or KDE. But the Gnome desktop environment came with a lot of popular software that supported it very well, which still leaves a lot of people trying to find the version of Gnome — MATE, Gnome Shell, Unity, or Cinnamon — that's appropriate for them. Here's a quick take at these four to see what the major differences are.
KMyMoney vs. GnuCash: The Battle Of Linux Desktop Money Management Apps
It's really important to keep track of your financial position. Online banking can keep you up to date about your account activity and balance, but not every bank offers more tools than that in order to better track your finances. Although there are online tools such as Mint.com, the service isn't available worldwide and it requires that you trust a third-party with your sensitive financial data while you use their online service.
nano vs. vim: Terminal Text Editors Compared
Although Linux has become easy enough for practically anyone to use without ever having to use the Terminal, there are some of us who regularly use it or are curious about how one can control their system with it. In any case, one of the primary ways to use the Terminal is to configure text files Terminal text editors and control how certain programs or system services behave.
ownCloud: A Cross-Platform, Self-Hosted Alternative to Dropbox & Google Calendar
Windows Internet
The NSA and PRISM scares demonstrated that governments can and will access the various popular online cloud services. This means that now is one of the best times to consider creating your own cloud solution. With your own cloud, you can get the same benefits of accessing various services such as file storage and calendars that you find with commercial solutions, but instead, all of that data is under your control.
Don't Want To Pay For Red Hat Linux? Try CentOS Instead
In case you don't know already, most of the web is powered by Linux — Facebook, Twitter, Google, and a vast majority of other major Internet sites use Linux for their servers. While server administrators can choose between multiple distributions for their enterprise or server setups, the primary leader of these distributions is Red Hat. However, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or RHEL for short, costs a lot of money in support fees. If RHEL interests you but money is an issue, then it's almost a given to try CentOS.
What's The Difference Between Linux Distributions If They're All Linux? [MakeUseOf Explains]
Technology Explained Linux
When a user is first introduced to Linux, they might be told they're using Linux, but they'll quickly learn that it's called something else. Yes, Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint, Debian, openSUSE, and so many others are all variants of Linux, or "Linux distributions". That's cool and all, but if you give it a little thought, you'll be asking yourself why there are so many different distributions in existence, especially if they're all Linux anyway.
Logitech Solar Keyboards K750 and K760 Review and Giveaway
Wireless keyboards and mice have been historically undervalued because of unreliability in their wireless communications and constant need for replacement batteries. But I took one step further and got solar keyboards to see if they could entirely replace the need to exchange batteries. Therefore, I reviewed the Logitech K750 and K760. At the end of this review, you have a chance to win to win one of the keyboards!

Using An Old Computer? Give It New Life With LXDE
As Linux is arguably the most customizeable operating system between it, Windows, and Mac OS X; there's plenty of room to change just about whatever you please. Proper customizing can potentially lead to massive performance improvements, giving even the oldest hardware a new leash on life. I previously reviewed Xfce quite a while back as a great choice for resource-conscious users, but apparently there's a new kid on the block that is even more lightweight and great for the crappiest hardware imaginable.
Tired of VLC? Try MPlayer – A Unique, Modular Alternative for Linux
Ask just about any Linux user, and they'll more than likely recommend VLC Player as the best choice for playing any media format you can think of. But it only offers one implementation — a complete media playing package that uses its own technologies as well as its own GUI. In the spirit of Linux, you may wish to use something that's a bit more modular. This way, you can use a single media decoder and then customize everything else about it.
Fedora 19 "Schrödinger's Cat" Is Alive And Full Of New Features and Improvements
Joy to the world, a new version of Fedora codenamed "Schrödinger's Cat" has been released! In the past, Fedora has provided leadership in the open source community, holding up to strict open source policies, continuous support to upstream projects, and by offering the latest software before any other distribution.

Relax and Play (Legal) Poker with the Cross-Platform PokerTH
Windows Gaming
If you happen to enjoy playing cards on your computer and are tired of Solitaire and other card games, there are plenty of other options available. Playing Poker on your computer tends to be risky business because most time-worthy poker games are online and actually involve gambling, making its legality uncertain from country to country. If you're worried or even affected by this, don't think that you'll have to forget about playing poker on your computer. Instead, you can try out PokerTH, a fun and complete poker game that's cross-platform and free.
Can You Make A Living Out Of Ethical Hacking?
Being labeled a "hacker" usually comes with plenty of negative connotations. If you call yourself a hacker, people will often perceive you as someone who causes mischief just for giggles. But there is a difference between good and bad hackers, as there are also ethical hackers that end up doing similar tasks for good and not evil. But while ethical hackers exist, is it possible to make a living as one?

Need to Record & Edit Audio? 4 Audacity Alternatives to Try
Audacity can be a fantastic audio recording and editing tool, especially because of its cross platform and open source nature. However, there may be a number of reasons why you do not wish to use Audacity, such as its lackluster interface, steep learning curve, or technical issues. If this sounds like you, there are a handful of great alternatives to Audacity that you can jump right into. If you need help weeding out some of your options, here are four recommended tools you can use.
Cleaners Compared: CCleaner vs. Slimcleaner vs. IObit Advanced SystemCare
Although Windows is a very capable operating system, it is infamous for its deteriorating performance over time. With the help of some clever system cleaners, however, you can drastically increase the life expectancy of your system before you have to resort to a re-installation. I compared three programs based on their interface, features, scan times, and results. An ideal cleaner should have a simple, easy to use interface with effective features, quick scan times and accurate and helpful results.
What You Need To Know About Watching Blu-Ray On Linux
If you've been using Linux back since DVDs first came out, you might remember just how long it took before DVDs were somewhat supported. Heck, even now, if you want to play an encrypted DVD, you'll need to add an extra repository and install a few extra packages just to be able to replay them with barely acceptable quality. Once Blu-Rays came out, it wasn't a surprise that it was going to be a while before they would also be supported under Linux.
Let It Shine: 3 Apps To Customize Your Galaxy or Nexus LED
A very nifty feature that a handful of Android smartphones include is a notification LED. However, the LED might not used how you would like it to be, including the events which turn the LED on, what color the LED is, and its flash interval. There are a few apps which support Nexus and Galaxy phones (as well as a few other lucky ones) that can put some control in your hands.

Should You Use AMD Proprietary Graphics Drivers & How Do You Install Them? [Ubuntu]
If you have an AMD or nVidia graphics card or chip in your desktop or laptop, you have some serious graphics processing power under the hood. However, these highly respected graphics vendors like to keep their secrets, which includes making their drivers proprietary software. Ubuntu and other Linux distributions use open source drivers to make them work. But what's the difference between the two, and how do you install the proprietary driver in Ubuntu if you decide to use it?

Bob and I went to a big book sale today and came home with lots of 'four hand' duets to be played by two people sitting at one piano. We spent a chunk of the afternoon going through volumes of Dvorak Slavonic Dances, Brahms Hungarian Dances, and eventually a mad set of duets by Erik Satie whose deadpan instructions made us laugh. Who else would write instructions like 'Better', 'From the corner', 'With the same colour', 'Smile', 'Slow down, I beg you', 'Do not speak', 'Lightly but strongly', or 'Very'?
As Lewis Carroll might say, 'He only does it to annoy/Because he knows it teases'.
As we played our duets, people passed by in the street. Most were listening to music on their phones. Some of them turned their heads and looked at us curiously but without enthusiasm (I think Satie's style has affected mine). We became aware of how much like a 19th century illustration we must look.
Piano duets were hugely popular at the time Dvorak wrote his Slavonic Dances (originally for piano duet). In fact, the publication of the Slavonic Dances made his name and changed his fortune virtually overnight because so many people bought the sheet music. Before recording technology was invented, when music-lovers had to wait until an orchestra came to their city in order to hear the latest symphonies, such works were often arranged for piano duet and published in large quantities for the domestic market. Many people probably never heard those pieces performed in any other way. Composers also wrote original music for piano duet and some of these works are highlights of piano repertoire: Mozart's Duo Sonatas, the Schubert F minor Fantasie, Bizet's 'Jeux d'Enfants', Fauré's 'Dolly Suite' or Debussy's 'Petite Suite'.
I've played piano duets with lots of different people, amateurs as well as professional pianists. It's always intriguing how difficult it is to play with some people, yet how easy with others. There is no obvious link with how good a pianist someone is. One of my best-ever piano duet partners is a Parisian lawyer who plays for fun and has a sense of timing similar to mine. On the other hand I have sometimes played duets with eminent pianists whose keyboard style was at odds with mine, making it very difficult for us to put down chords at the same instant.
One of my favourite duet experiences was when I sat down to play some four-hand piano music with the South African pianist Lamar Crowson at Prussia Cove. We played for a while and it sped along with remarkable ease. He turned to me and said, 'You're a Gemini, right?' And so I am.

How lovely! Brought back teenage memories of enjoying piano duets – especially the challenges of the Schubert.

Anti-Suit Injunction / Hong Kong
HK Court Grants Anti-Suit Injunction in Armani Case
December 15, 2019 December 20, 2019 - by Phillip Rompotis
In Giorgio Armani SPA & Ors v Elan Clothes Co Ltd [2019] HKCFI 2983, the parties entered into a Master Agreement under which Elan was appointed as an authorized retailer with the right to open and operate single brand stores on the Mainland.
The Master Agreement was expressed to be made "by and between" SPA "together with its branch offices and Affiliates", and Elan.
Disputes arose as a result of a rebranding exercise by SPA whereby products sold under some Armani marks were rebranded and sold under another Armani mark. Elan claimed that such rebranding caused it to sustain significant losses and as a result, it stopped paying royalties and advertising contributions under the Master Agreement, leading to SPA serving a notice of termination of the Master Agreement and the commencement of arbitration in Hong Kong seeking a declaration that it had validly terminated the MA, and orders for damages and injunctive relief. Elan then commenced legal proceedings against SPA and other affiliated companies on the Mainland, and SPA commenced proceedings in Hong Kong for an anti-suit injunction against Elan.
The Court noted the importance of commercial considerations when interpreting arbitration clauses, stating [§18]:
"Of particular importance in the construction of contracts including arbitration clauses, are the commercial considerations highlighted by Lord Hoffman in Fiona Trust & Holding Corp v Privalov [2007] 4 All ER 951. The assumption is that as rational businessmen, parties are likely to have intended any dispute arising out of the relationship in which they had entered or purported to enter to be decided by the same tribunal. An arbitration clause should be construed in accordance with this presumption unless the language makes it clear that certain questions were intended to be excluded from the arbitrator's jurisdiction. The courts have emphasized that if any businessman did want to exclude disputes about the validity of the contract, or disputes of a particular type, it would be comparatively easy for them to say so expressly. Otherwise, having gone to the trouble of agreeing that their disputes would be heard in the courts of a particular country or by a tribunal of their choice, they could not rationally have expected that time and expense would be taken in lengthy argument about the nature of particular causes of action, and whether any particular cause of action comes within the meaning of a particular phrase they have chosen in their arbitration clause."
Regarding the Court's power to grant anti-suit relief under s.21L of the HCO and s.45 of the Arbitration Ordinance, the Court noted [§23-25]:
"It is clear that the Court has jurisdiction to do this, under section 21L of the High Court Ordinance and/or its inherent jurisdiction, in accordance with the principles clearly set out in The Angelic Grace [1995] 1 Lloyd's Rep 87, and Donahue v Armco [2002] 1 Lloyd's Rep 425. The justification for such an injunction is that it should be granted to restrain foreign proceedings in breach of an agreement "on the simple and clear ground that the defendant has promised not to bring them". In AES Ust-Kamenogorsk Hydropower Plant LLP v Ust-Kamenogorsk Hydropower Plant JSC [2013] 1 WLR 1889, the English Court was dealing with its general jurisdiction to grant injunctions and relief under the Senior Courts Act 1981, and Lord Mance observed that orders restraining the actual or threatened breach of the negative aspect of an arbitration agreement (not to bring proceedings other than by way of arbitration) enforce the negative right not to be vexed by foreign proceedings."
"An injunction to restrain foreign proceedings brought in breach of an arbitration agreement, in the interim of an award by the arbitral tribunal in an arbitration, may also be a type of interim measure which the Court may grant under section 45 of the Ordinance (GM1 & GM2 v KC [2019] HKCFI 2793, 14 November 2019). However, in this case, I do not agree that the Court is not able or should hesitate to grant the Injunction as "final" relief at trial."
"Section 45 (4), when it applies, does not prohibit the Court from granting relief falling within the scope of "interim measures". The section only states that the Court "may" decline to grant such interim measure, if it considers it more appropriate for the interim measure to be dealt with by the tribunal. Section 45 (3) of the Ordinance expressly states that the powers conferred by the section may be exercised by the Court irrespective of whether or not similar powers may be exercised by an arbitral tribunal under section 35 in relation to the same dispute."
The Court was prepared to grant a permanent injunction in respect of the Mainland proceedings on the basis that they were oppressive, vexatious, brought for the purpose of frustrating and obstructing the Arbitration and to exert pressure on the Plaintiffs. The Court stated [§33]:
"In my view, the steps taken by Elan on the Mainland by instituting the Shangdong Proceedings against SPA and extending the claims to Shanghai, HK and GA all of which are closely associated, are vexatious attempts to bypass the arbitration agreement, and to subject the Plaintiffs to duplicative costs and inconvenience in parallel proceedings on the same issues. It would be unconscionable for this Court to allow Elan to pursue its claims against SPA and its associates on the Mainland, when such claims fall within the scope of the arbitration clause in the MA (BNP Paribas SA v Open Joint Stock Company Russian Machines & Anor [2011] EWHC 308 (Comm)). It is no less unconscionable of Elan to make a claim against Shanghai, HK and GA otherwise than through arbitration, than it would be for Elan to make a claim against SPA, when the true substance of its claim arises under and derived from the supply and sale of the Products bearing the Armani Marks under the MA, and the relationship created under the MA."

Plopp is a chocolate bar manufactured by the Swedish company Cloetta (formerly part of Cloetta Fazer). Like Center, another Cloetta candy, it consists of milk chocolate with a soft caramel center, but the formula, texture and aroma are not the same. Over 95 percent of Plopp bars are sold in Sweden.

Some English-speaking sources have criticized the name "Plopp" as being unappealing due to its use as a euphemism for human feces.

History

Plopp was created in 1949 as a small bar. A larger version was introduced in 1974, a stick version in 1992, and a roll version with individual pieces in 1995. Plopp Lakrits (liquorice) was released in the early 1980s to Sweden only, but in 1999 in celebration of the candy's 50th anniversary it became available worldwide.

More recently several new flavors have been released: Plopp Currant in 2004, Plopp Caffe Latte in 2006, Plopp Tutti Frutti in 2008, and Plopp Saltlakrits (salty liquorice) in 2009. The candy also received a redesign in 2009.

Interview: Antibiotics are often overprescribed in an arbitrary manner in dentistry
July 9, 2019 | Interviews
The use of antibiotics remains a controversial topic. A recent study investigated the necessity of antibiotics for the prevention of dental implant infections. Lead author Dr. Ismael Khouly, Associate Director of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry at Bluestone Center for Clinical Research at the New York University College of Dentistry, U.S., and his colleagues found that the prophylactic use of antibiotics has no influence on the prevalence of post-surgical dental implant complications in patients who are healthy overall.

Study examines mother's perception of her child's oral health status
July 9, 2019 | News
PITTSBURGH, U.S.: Mothers play a primary role in the health of their children. This function may be particularly important for children in Appalachia, a region in the eastern U.S., who have increased dental caries relative to children in other areas of the U.S. In a recent study on families in the region, scientists have examined the degree to which a child's caries experience is in concordance with the mother's perception of the health of her child's teeth, and how this agreement varies by socio-demographic factors. The finding was that the majority of mothers in the study were well aware of their children's oral health status. The data obtained could help in developing novel caries prevention and treatment strategies.

**And oh, wasn't it awful today when they had to put that poor filly down!
Hmmm, I need to give this some thought and see if I have a list of 25.
I agree with you about the fresh clean sheets!
Good to get to know you. It's these simple lists that become us, or are the undoing of us sometimes. I keep scrolling down to that beautiful picture of you and your brother. That is so clearly a MOMENT. And you 2 are so clearly beautiful. I envy you those 2 things.
OH NO! I watched the Derby but we were at a party and the TV got turned off right after the race. I am so sad. She was the first filly to race the Derby in something like 10 years. I am crying for a racehorse, how pathetic am I? Oh that poor little filly.
our cats do the same thing! they get crazy and annoying until we go to bed.
I cried for Eight Belles. She was a beauty.
How adorable is number 9!
5, 15, and 18; I agree.
I could have written this. So many of these things are just the bee's knees. Beautiful! And, today I WAS the last person to wake up. Ah, delicious days when the man takes the baby.


I guess this is useful information? Maybe?
The website Nameberry.com just put together a list of the most popular baby names....of 2028.
It's based on current trends....patterns of how names go in and out of style....and, quote, "rhythms of the past to predict the future," whatever that means.


Last month I had a pleasure to attend Open Source North conference in Minneapolis, MN. It was a great event with over 500 attendees and speakers from all over across the United States. I had a pleasure to meet a lot of great people, and attend a few interesting talks. I also gave a talk "Open Source and Microsoft and Beyond" where I presented a bunch of Microsoft Open Source projects (ASP.NET Core, TypeScript, Xamarin, F#), gave an insight into Azure Cloud, and showed a few non-Microsoft OSS projects created or having contributions from Microsoft employees (lodash, xUnit, Moment.js, voiceCmdr, and more).
Last year I had a pleasure to attend and speak at awesome Thunder Plains conference in Oklahoma City.
I really liked this conference. Especially, because instead of having more talks that I could count, there was only 15 sessions (selected out of over 300) divided into 3 tracks. Moreover, all speakers were passionate developers, and you could feel this during their presentations.
I also attended very good session – Maybe We Should Slow Down by Blaine Bublitz (author of over 400 npm packages). Blaine was convincing developers to think twice before contributing code, and publish only features they have high confidence about.
The coolest talk of the conference was JS in Near Space by Pawel Szymczykowski. I really recommend you to check it out. Pawel, together with his friends built a small space ship, powered by Arduinos and Raspberry Pis, and they are sending them into "Near Space", up to ~100 000 ft altitude (Boeing 737 flies at <40 000 ft).
Thunder Plains is community event organized by 3 passionates – Vance Lucas, Jesse Harlin and Amanda Harlin – who did a really good job in taking care of everything. Congrats!

Q: How to access thread_info from user space I know Linux maintains task_struct (which include thread_info) to access different threads. I wonder can a thread itself access its own thread_info (Something like current_thread_info()).
What I'm trying to do is when I running a thread. I want to know the state of some flags in thread_info about the current thread. I checked the API from pthread but I can't find any API for it. So my questions are

*

*Can I access the thread_info from the current thread (userspace)?

*If we can't, why Linux didn't provide an API for it?

A: No you cannot access thread_info from userspace (well, other than using privileged kernel tracing/debugging interfaces).
There is no API because it is architecture-specific; most of the flags are only relevant while the task is executing in the kernel; and most importantly it is an internal implementation detail, subject to change at any time.
If you ask another question with the specific flag you're interested in, there might be another way to access that information.
