Q: Can't harvest Nginx logs with Elastic Stack and Filebeat on ECK I'm new to Elastic Stack. I have to prepare a deployment of the Elastic stack with Filebeat under ECK (locally). To do this, I'm trying to retrieve logs from a Nginx server. I just do "F5 or Ctrl+F5" on the Welcome to nginx page to check if the data go to Kibana.
For the moment, I only get data from the kube-system namespace but no data from my namespace "beats".
Everything is running ready 1/1 and the volumes are OK too: I access them with Windows Explorer.
Here are the tools I use:

*

*Win10 PRO

*Docker Desktop

*WSL1/Ubuntu 18.04

*a namespace named beats with the following elements (see code snippets below):

"Zatyshok," anti-crisis transit hub in Dnipro for displaced persons from Donetsk region fleeing active hostilities
Zatyshok (a cozy place) anti-crisis transit hub for vulnerable categories of internally displaced persons from Donetsk region (persons with disabilities, orphans, the elderly, large families, single parents, families of military personnel, women and girls who have experienced gender-based violence) works in Dnipro.
The hub, among other things, provides free accommodation and meals for a period of 1 to 10 calendar days. And if necessary, they help with further evacuation, both within Ukraine and abroad (the length of stay is determined by the complexity of the specific situation of each person/family).

"Unbreakable together" exhibition of a unique online archive of photos about the war opened at the railway station in Kherson
"Unbreakable together" exhibition opened at the railway station in Kherson. Eleven photo artists presented their works, in which they showed how Ukrainians live during the war, how life is revived in the liberated territories, how volunteers, doctors, and the military work, and how Ukraine is supported by the world.
The exhibition is organized by UKRAINIAN WARCHIVE, a unique photo archive. This is an online archive of photos documenting russia's aggression in Ukraine. The idea of the project is to collect all the photos about the war in one place and make them easy to navigate. To do this, the creators of the archive describe each photo in detail by specifying its location, event, author, date and many other details.
Almost no roof left after shelling: volunteers will rebuild a destroyed school in Hostomel, Kyiv region
On January 28, BUR (Building Ukraine Together) volunteers will start working in Hostomel. Together with Gurtum charitable organization, they will restore the school where 55 children once studied. The school's main entrance and roof were almost completely destroyed after russian shelling. The walls and ceiling are damaged by debris. Everyone is welcome to join the volunteers.
For reference: Building Ukraine Together is an NGO that creates opportunities for young people to create changes in the country through volunteering.
Forests Burned Out by Missiles, Lands Littered with Ammunition: How Specialists of the State Environmental Inspectorate of Ukraine Account for Losses from Full-Scale Invasion of the russian federation
How much land is littered with remnants of destroyed ammunition, how many oil products were burned during the shelling, and even how many forests were burned by missiles and shells? The answers to these and other questions can be found in the latest report of the State Environmental Inspectorate of Ukraine. The specialists of this institution now continue to calculate environmental losses resulting from russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Journalists can talk to representatives of the State Environmental Inspectorate of Ukraine and, among other things, find out what methods they use for calculations and the amount of damage. And see how the experts work, if applicable.
For reference: Previously, Ruslan Strilets, the Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine, stated that the damage to the Ukrainian environment from russian federation's armed aggression already amounts to more than USD 46 billion. Ukraine will demand compensation for these losses by russia.
Because of the War, Kyiv Residents Are Getting Rid of Collections of Plants Cherished by Them for Decades. In Particular, They Bring Costly Plants to the Exhibition of Economic Achievements' Greenery
Because of the war, Kyiv residents are forced to get rid of plants that have been grown for decades. After all, due to frequent power cuts in the capital city, they can no longer take care of them. For example, a collection of plants grown in the greenhouse for 20 years has been recently brought to the Exhibition of Economic Achievements' Greenery. And in the spring, the Greenery was presented with a coffee tree, which has already become a part of the exhibition.
For reference: The Exhibition of Economic Achievements' Greenery is a unique place of the capital city. Here plants of 3 climatic zones — Desert, Tropics and Subtropics — can be found. The main value of the Greenery is a unique collection of plants that were set out more than 60 years ago.
At least 260,000 Ukrainian children were deported to russia, most of them have parents — research by the Regional Center for Human Rights
The Regional Center for Human Rights is investigating illegal deportation of Ukrainian children to russia. According to their data, at least 260,000 Ukrainian children have already been deported to the russian federation, the real figure may reach 700,000. Most of the illegally displaced children have parents. According to Kateryna Rashevska, a lawyer at the Regional Center for Human Rights, at least 400 Ukrainian children have already ended up in russian families.
More Than 5,500 Videos and 26,000 Photos. Dattalion Data Collection Project Helps Ukraine on the Information Front
After the beginning of russia's full-scale aggression, Ukrainian specialists, with the support of international volunteers, founded the Dattalion project. The Dattalion website has already collected more than 5,500 videos, 26,000 photos and 140 eyewitness' accounts. Thanks to the largest free and independent photo and video database, as well as the database of verified eyewitness' accounts, DATTALION is an important source for understanding the realities of the russo-Ukrainian war.
Children of War platform works in Ukraine: according to its data, russians forcibly deported over 13,000 Ukrainian children
As of today, Children of War platform has collected information on 13,876 deported children. They claim to have returned 125 children who were illegally deported to russia and temporarily occupied territories.
For reference: Children of War platform started working in August 2022. It was created by decree of the President of Ukraine. This platform provides up-to-date and consolidated information on the children who suffered as a result of the russian federation's war against Ukraine (killed, injured, missing, deported) and those who were found and rescued. The platform also helps with the search for children.
Unique items from "Moskva" cruiser, non-working dosimeters and maps from the 90s: the museum in Kyiv keeps exhibits of the russian invasion
"Krasnaya Zvezda" newspapers, vodka, valenki, non-working dosimeters and maps from the 90s. All these things, which were left behind by russian soldiers in the de-occupied territories, became exhibits in the National Military Historical Museum of Ukraine in Kyiv. In addition, the museum has unique items from the russian cruiser "Moskva," which was sunk by the Ukrainian army in April 2022.

Society outlines Data Manifesto to new Prime Minister and cabinet
Written by Web News Editor on 18 August 2016 . Posted in News
The Society has written to the Prime Minister and six ministers in her recently reorganised cabinet, to stress the importance of government statistics, statistical literacy and to offer the collective expertise of RSS fellows in matters such as data sharing and improving the UK's data science capabilities.
The RSS's letter to Theresa May enclosed a copy of the Society's Data Manifesto and expressed the Society's support for the current Digital Economy Bill that is going through parliament, as well as championing data sharing to reduce cost of census.
The letters outline various aspects of our Data Manifesto relevant to each minister's portfolio. Our letter to Ben Gummer, who replaced Matt Hancock in the Cabinet Office which oversees government statistics, stresses the importance of accessing administrative data for statistical and research purposes. This was also highlighted in our letter to Greg Clark of the newly formed Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), to whom we also emphasised our support for continuing investment in science and innovation - and the importance of mathematical skills as an integral part of this.
We also wrote to Sajid Javid, who now heads up the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) about improving local data and how to move forward in developing 'smart cities'. Our letter to Nicola Blackwood, who is the new under-secretary of state for the Department of Health, expressed our support for the recommendations made in the recent review of health data by Dame Fiona Caldicott.
Although Jo Johnson's role as Minister of State for Universities & Science remains unchanged, the Society also wrote to reiterate its support for recommendations made in the recent Stern Review of the Research Excellence Framework (REF), as well as to express our concerns with the Teaching Excellence Framework.
The RSS has also set out its priorities for ensuring a data-literate society in a letter to the new Education Secretary Justine Greening.

Malaysia Cup
Why won't shambolic Argentina unleash Messi and Dybala together?
Mark Doyle
Deputy Features Editor
Getty/Goal
Nigeria v Argentina
Despite the Juventus ace's willingness to find a way to play alongside his fellow left-footer, he is set to again start on the bench against Iceland
On the eve of Argentina's World Cup opener against Iceland, coach Jorge Sampaoli was asked if he would consider putting Lionel Messi and Paulo Dybala in the same starting line-up in Russia.
"We have worked to make them compatible and Paulo has improved a lot from this point of view," the former Chile boss explained. "But I still have to wait before playing them together. The right time has not yet come."
What about now, though?
FAM denies availability of new naturalised player for 2019 matches

Kalamullah and Brandao get Devan's praise after magnificent win over JDT
Disappointed Figueroa not putting defeat to PJ City down to Mauricio's absence
With an abject Argentina having been held to a draw by Iceland before then being humiliated in a 3-0 loss to Croatia, they must now beat Nigeria on Tuesday to have any chance of reaching the last 16.
Despite the Albiceleste's glaring problems in attack, Dybala has featured just once so far, as a late replacement against the Croats. Consequently, there have been calls back home for him to start against the Super Eagles.
However, while the under-fire Sampaoli once again plans several panicked changes in personnel in another desperate bid to belatedly bring some balance and cohesion to his side, Dybala is unlikely to be one of them.
Judging by the latest leaks coming out of the Argentine camp, Angel Di Maria will be recalled on the left flank, while Gonzalo Higuain could be preferred to Sergio Aguero to spearhead an Albiceleste attacking triumvirate that will feature Messi on the right-hand side.
That means no room for Dybala, which has essentially been the story of his international career to date.
Despite being regarded as one of the best attacking talents in world football, the 24-year-old Juventus ace has started just seven times for his country, with his six other appearances coming as a replacement.
There have been no goals and just one assist – remarkably poor numbers all round for a player who has essentially managed a goal every two games in Serie A (52 in 98 appearances) since joining Juventus for an initial €32 million in 2015.
Furthermore, when Dybala blitzed Barcelona in a memorable Champions League win in Turin last year, it appeared that Argentina had found Messi's heir.
However, there were two issues with that notion. Firstly, Dybala is not yet on the same level as Messi – and probably never will be. Secondly, he doesn't seem capable of playing alongside his fellow left-footer either.
Indeed, only last year Dybala admitted that "it is not easy to play with Messi because we play in the same way".
There were those that inexplicably interpreted that observation as a criticism of his captain but Messi knew exactly where his young team-mate was coming from.
"I spoke to Paulo about [those comments], and what he said is the truth," he told FoxSports.
"At Juventus, he plays just like me; we look for the same spaces. Alongside me in the national team, he had to play more on the left, and maybe he's not so used to that.
"It is harder for us to play on the left. I rarely venture down the left-hand side. On the right, we can cut inside and we have the whole pitch in front of us.
"The truth is that I understood exactly what he meant, so there was nothing that needed clarifying."
However, we could do with clarification from Sampaoli as to why he appeared to give up on trying to find a solution. After all, he started the pair alongside one another in a 3-4-2-1 formation in his first game in charge, a 1-0 win over Brazil last June.
But after being underwhelmed by the pair in the qualifier draws with Uruguay and Venezuela, Sampaoli ditched the attacking midfield tandem - and Messi and Dybala haven't started alongside one another since.
As Argentina's qualification hopes began to fade, Sampaoli stated before the decisive double header against Peru and Ecuador that he no longer had time work out how to include Dybala in his starting line-up, so he left him on the bench for both games.
By March of this year, it seemed he 'La Joya' wouldn't even be on the plane to Russia. "It will be hard for Dybala to get used to our style," he said after leaving the former Palermo forward out of his squad for the friendlies against Italy and Spain.
"We couldn't improve his performances and we have to evaluate if the current players are better than Paulo or if we've to keep working with Paulo to improve his performance."
In the end, Sampaoli decided to take Dybala to the World Cup but he clearly remains utterly unsure of how best to use him.
But then again, that is hardly surprising, given Sampaoli does not need to know his best team whatsoever. He has been at helm for 13 matches and hasn't once picked the same side.
There has been no consistency in his selection process at all and Dybala is just one of a number of victims of this maddeningly muddled thinking.
The 24-year-old reiterated last week that he is not looking to take Messi's position, but flourish alongside him.
"Messi does not have any substitute here, in Barcelona or anywhere in the world, so obviously I think we should and could work together," he told reporters. "We just need to figure out how I would fit on the team."
It seems too late for that now, though. Dybala has long been willing to make it work. Sampaoli has been unable to make it happen.

In non-heme metalloproteins, nature exploits the properties of transition metal ions in a large variety of structural scaffolds. These proteins function, for instance, as electron transfer proteins or enzymes. We are studying different representatives of this protein family, including iron-sulfur proteins, copper protein, molybdoenzymes, and non-heme iron proteins. In these cases, resonance Raman (RR) and EPR spectroscopic techniques can contribute to the elucidation of the active site structure. Electrochemical studies provide further information about the electron-transfer properties.
Special emphasis of our research is laid on hydrogenases that catalyze the reversible cleavage of molecular hydrogen (O. Lenz; I. Zebger). Here we are particularly interested in oxygen-tolerant representatives of this enzyme family that carry a [NiFe] active center and various iron-sulfur clusters (in the small subunit), serving as electron transferring cofactors. The catalytic bimetallic center includes an unsual ligation pattern with two cyanide and one CO ligands. The stretching frequencies of these ligands can be probed by IR spectroscopy providing information about the oxidation and ligation state of the [Ni-Fe] center. Our IR- and RR spectroscopic and spectro-electrochemical studies of these enzymes in solution, immobilized on conducting supports, and in the crystalline state primarily aim at elucidating structure-function relationships including the molecular origin of the oxygen tolerance.

This week's team journal is written by our Team Lead, and beloved sister, Natalie Herr.
I'm writing this blog post on the heels of the DiscipleHER Conference: a weekend where women from all over Dayton, OH and beyond got together in the name of the Lord Jesus. Women came to hear God's Word, to connect with Him and one another and to be sent back out to apply his Word to their lives. The Lord worked in ways that I could never have imagined and hardly have space to list here.
The DWITW Team poured hours and hours of effort into the planning and preparation of DiscipleHER. And now, just a few days later, I'm attempting to get quiet so I can hear what God wants me to learn from the whole thing.
You know what I keep hearing? "Love the sisterhood."
Well, what does that mean, God? Didn't I just spend months loving the sisterhood by planning this conference for them? Haven't I loved the sisterhood by preparing for them? Praying for them? Isn't the whole ministry of Dayton Women in the Word about loving the sisterhood?
And then, I heard, "STOP. Stop right there, Natalie. That whole line of thinking is all about you."
And so it is. The sneaky sin of pride can corrupt even the most beautiful, God-honoring pursuits. Pride convinces me that I am obedient. That I've achieved something. That I've done what was asked of me and deserve some kind of applause for it. Pride doesn't like it when someone else gets the applause instead. Pride doesn't like to hear that I still have growing and learning and obeying to do.
I'm confessing before you today that I felt the weight of comparison this weekend. I caught myself measuring my own work and gifts against those of my sisters. I wanted to hear "Well, done!" from man just as much as I wanted to hear it from God. I felt deserving of a compliment every time I heard one given to someone else. But you know what, gals? I received plenty of encouragement and compliments and kind words this weekend, and it never satisfied in a lasting way. It never can, and it isn't meant to.
I've been reading a lot about pride recently in the book of Isaiah. (I asked the Lord a few weeks ago to reveal my sin as I read Isaiah and he has been faithful to do it). In Isaiah's day, Judah and the surrounding nations were full of pride and self-sufficiency. They trusted in the work of their hands and not in the faithful God of their fathers (Isaiah 2:8). Isaiah describes them as a great forest that will be cut down, with so few trees left that a child could count them (Isaiah 10:19). And apart from Jesus, that would be my fate! A proud tree cut down, with no hope of regrowth.
But, Jesus. Jesus is the tiny, vibrant, life-giving shoot coming up in that forest of death; coming up from that burned-up old stump of Jesse (Isaiah 11:1). Jesus makes it possible for life and love to come from pride and death. He's the reason I can obey the call of 1 Peter to honor everyone and love the brotherhood (or the sisterhood). He's the one I can learn humility and servant leadership from. He's the one I must point to as the source of all the good I've ever done and ever will do. He's the one who went to the cross for my pride and defeated death forever.
So, Lord, I will love the sisterhood fiercely. I will cheer on my sisters in their gifts, even when (especially when!) it feels like they are competing with mine. I will encourage them until I'm blue in the face. I will call them up and send them out. I will honor them publicly and privately. I will lay down my own agenda in favor of yours. I will pursue humility instead of affirmation. I will fight the vicious lies of pride. And sometimes, I will fail. And I will ask you again to kill that pride and grow me in humility and help me to fight for unity with my sisters. And you will answer, as you always do. You are faithful to finish the work you've started in me AND in my sisters (Phil. 1:6). And one day, as promised, despite our faults and failures, we will hear the only "Well, done!" that really matters.


Physical therapists employ a variety of modalities, such as massage, spinal stabilization, and light therapy, to help you develop a more fulfilling quality of life, even if you have a chronic condition. The extensively trained physical therapists at ADI Rehab in Westwood and Los Angeles, California, create a customized plan using different therapies and modalities so you can achieve the most effective results. You don't have to live with pain. Call or schedule a consultation online to learn more about treatment options.
What types of modalities do physical therapists use?
Iontophoresis is a type of electrical stimulation your physical therapist may use to administer medication through your skin to reach deeper tissue. It can help alleviate pain in injured tissues and reduce inflammation.
Depending on your specific condition, your physical therapist selects the appropriate medication to relieve your symptoms. Iontophoresis helps decrease pain and swelling, reduce muscle spasms, and manage scar tissue.
During an iontophoresis treatment, you typically feel a tingling sensation from the tiny electrodes on your skin, but it doesn't usually hurt. The electrodes are concentrated to only the area of your body that's being treated.
Iontophoresis treatment generally takes 10 to 20 minutes, so you may be able to tolerate any temporary discomfort. If the sensation is extremely uncomfortable, your physical therapist can make adjustments to the electrical current to minimize the irritation.
Yes. It's a safe procedure, and side effects are minimal. You may notice slight redness where the electrodes were attached to your body.
What types of medications does this modality use?

Q: How to deploy Phonegap app to iPhone without having Apple hardware (iPhone + Mac) I have a Phonegap app which works perfectly in Android. I chose Phonegap as a platform mainly because the same code can be used for Android, iPhone, etc.. My question is though, how can I create iPhone app without actually having Apple hardware (iPhone + Mac) as I am having Windows notebook and HTC Desire HD and I am happy with it :-) My app for iPhone will be free so there is no possibility the app itself with compensate for the money for Apple HW.
 Can you please sum up some options I have how to deploy ready Phonegap app for iPhone ? Or what is the cheapest real option - e.g. buy used iPhone and some kind of used Mac ?

A: Here is tutorial on How to build iOS application using Windows and OpenSSL. You just need an Apple developer account.

A: You can do it by compiling in the cloud with PhoneGap Build.
Check https://build.phonegap.com/

A: I have used hackintosh in the past in order to simulate a Mac and installed Xcode to build the project for the iOs devices.
The other cheap options are get a Mac mini & a ipod touch.

A: You still need a Mac to create p12 bundle which is needed for PhoneGap build.
Mobundler.com is a service which lets you create iOS p12 bundle as well as Java keystore for Android. Mobundler can be used in conjunction with PhoneGap build to achieve this.

A: You could try rent a Mac on this cloud service:
http://www.macincloud.com
This way, you don't need actual Mac hardware to build your app - only pay/rent when you need to build. However, in the long run it might not be economical.

A: Looking at the PhoneGap Cloud page here:
https://build.phonegap.com/docs/ios-builds
it mentions this :
"Note: Since PhoneGap Build uses Apple's standard development process to build applications, you will need to sign up for their developer program to build iOS applications on PhoneGap Build. You will also need a Mac to configure your certificate and provisioning profile."
I presume that this is a once-off thing to set up - i.e. you need to "borrow" a mac from somewhere if you don't have one.  Does anyone know if this is correct?

A: Marmalade SDK is the all Windows end to end solution that I am happy with. Right from compile to deploy everything is in your control and on windows - No server side compiles or sending zip files around waiting for someone to send you back files that you could deploy on IOS.
But you have to like using Visual Studio C++ ...

[ Academia ] Criminal Law: International Criminal Law & Immigration Law
[ Academia ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Immigration Law : Immigration law is relevant to the practitioner in areas of the country where new immigrants are likely to be caught up in the criminal justice system. Criminal defense attorneys should understand the possible immigration consequences for clients for whom they are negotiating a plea bargain.
This survey course will provide a foundation in immigration law, the system of admission and removal, and the constitutional principles governing the regulation of non-citizens. The course will also explore some selected topics concerning immigrants' rights and the normative values informing contemporary policies by drawing on the instructor's extensive experience litigating constitutional and civil rights issues on behalf of non-citizens throughout the country. After surveying the immigration system and constitutional principles, we will examine such topics as detention of immigrants; state and local immigration regulation; constitutional prohibitions on 'alienage' discrimination; access to the courts and habeas corpus for non-citizens; rights of undocumented workers; extraterritorial application of the Constitution; and Fourth Amendment issues arising in federal immigration enforcement. No prior course or background in immigration law is expected.

Useful than raw eggs?
Raw eggs are a food that has high nutritional value and contains large amounts of nutrients. They are often used as supplementary treatment of various diseases.
How to eat quail eggs raw
How to use egg shells
What is boiled eggs
Of course, it is advisable to consume raw eggs fresh. In this case, the product is considered a dietary. Moreover, the egg storage conditions must comply with the norms only then they will be safe for the human body. The optimum temperature is 5 degrees.
Useful than raw eggs? First of all, it is a source of mineral salts (iron, phosphorus, calcium, iodine, cobalt, copper) and vitamins (A, D, b, E). Egg protein is involved in the alkaline processes taking place in the body, thereby effectively relieves a variety of inflammation. In addition, raw egg yolk is the most common source of Biotin, which is a water soluble vitamin.
Very often raw eggs are used in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as envelop the stomach wall and relieve irritation. But with pancreatitis it is better to abandon this product in its raw form, this is due to the high content of protein avidin.
Proteins are the building blocks of muscle mass of the person. Moreover, its biological value is unparalleled compared to other foods. That's why people engaged in heavy physical activity and sports, you just need to eat eggs. Also albumin content has a positive effect on blood composition.
Consider how useful raw eggs when used in folk medicine. To cleanse the ulcers frequently used the following mixture: raw egg yolk, honey, pinch of salt and flour. You must knead the dough and make a small cake (depending on the size of the damaged area), then applied to the wound, making it faster will reveal and will start to clean. Burns raw eggs can be used as a standalone prescription, and in composition with other products. For example, beat a fresh egg and put a few layers on the burned skin. You can also mix the egg with olive oil, then lubricate the affected areas of the body.
Effective raw eggs and in the treatment of cough. To do this, RUB the yolks with a small amount of sugar until a thick foam. The resulting drink should be consumed on an empty stomach daily until the complete disappearance of cough. Many people take the "eggnog" for a clean and bright sound of voices (actors, singers) at constant loads.
Widely used raw eggs and alcohol. For example, the product is a composition of various masks to eliminate dry skin. You can mix the yolk with the natural honey and apply on face. If you add a little glycerin, the skin becomes soft and smooth. For oily type of skin it is advisable to amuse the yolk with hydrogen peroxide, due to which the Shine will disappear and skin takes on a beautiful appearance.
But do not forget that raw eggs can cause salmonellosis, which is characterized by fever, with chills, discomfort in the abdomen, nausea and vomiting, headache, etc. Salmonella is a type of bacteria that often inhabit not only the inside of the egg, but the shell. Therefore, it is advisable to thoroughly wash the eggs before use to reduce the risk of this unpleasant disease. Often the source of the disease are poultry, as their product is not mandatory sanitary inspection on quality and safety for human body. On the larger poultry farms are routinely provided, through which harmful microorganisms are destroyed.

Delaware Supreme Court Wastes No Words: Summarily Affirms In re Volcano Corp. Stockholder Litigation, Upholding Business Judgment Rule and Dismissing Remaining Waste Claim
Jim Kramer and Alex TalaridesPosted on February 16, 2017
On February 9, 2017, the Supreme Court of Delaware summarily affirmed the Court of Chancery's decision in In re Volcano Corp. Stockholder Litigation which had dismissed plaintiffs' complaint on defendants' 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss.
Plaintiffs, former stockholders of Volcano Corporation, had brought an action against defendants for breaches of fiduciary duty arising from the all-cash merger between Volcano and Philips Holding USA Inc. The parties had disputed what standard of review the Court of Chancery should apply: the Revlon test, as plaintiffs claimed, because Volcano's stockholders received cash for their shares, or the irrebuttable business judgment rule, as defendants argued, because Volcano's stockholders were "fully informed, uncoerced, and disinterested" when they approved the merger by tendering a majority of Volacano's shares into a tender offer. As the Court of Chancery explained, if a business judgment rule is irrebuttable, plaintiffs could only challenge the transaction on the basis of waste. Thus, plaintiffs also argued in the alternative that if the business judgment rule did apply, it should only be a rebuttable presumption.

Delaware Supreme Court Tells Controlling Shareholders "If You Look Out For Your Minority, We'll Look Out For You"
Alex Talarides, Paul Rugani and Jim KramerPosted on April 1, 2014
On March 14, 2014, the Delaware Supreme Court unanimously affirmed an important Delaware Court of Chancery decision issued in 2013 that offered a roadmap to companies and their directors on how to obtain the protections of the deferential business judgment rule when entering into a change-in-control transaction with a controlling stockholder. As we discussed previously, in In re MFW Shareholders Litigation, then-Chancellor (now Chief Justice) Strine held as a matter of first impression that the deferential business judgment rule – as opposed to the more onerous "entire fairness" – standard of review should apply to a merger with a controlling stockholder where (i) the controller conditions the transaction on the approval of both a Special Committee and a majority of the minority stockholders; (ii) the Special Committee is independent; (iii) the Special Committee is empowered to freely select its own advisors and to say no definitively; (iv) the Special Committee acts with care; (v) the minority vote is informed; and (vi) there is no coercion of the minority.

Can Your Director Bank on the Business Judgment Rule?
William AldermanPosted on December 10, 2013
Ever had one of those days where you think you're acting with good faith, diligence, and care, and yet you still get sued by the FDIC? The directors and officers of the now defunct Buckhead Community Bank in Georgia find themselves in the government's crosshairs and, unlike their D-and-O counterparts at public companies, a federal court in Georgia thinks it's not so clear that they'll be able to claim the protections of the business judgment rule to avoid the FDIC's claim that they caused the bank to lose millions of dollars.
The background in this case reads like so many others in similar suits around the country. According to the FDIC, the bank implemented an "aggressive growth strategy" beginning in 2005 that resulted in a 240 percent increase in the bank's loan portfolio through 2007, primarily from gains in the bank's "high-risk real estate and construction loans." The bank's adversely classified assets grew from twelve percent to more than 200 percent of its tier-1 capital, and by December 2009 the bank had landed in FDIC receivership. The FDIC later sued the bank's directors and officers in federal court alleging that they were negligent for repeated violations of the bank's loan policy, underwriting requirements, banking regulations, and "prudent and sound banking practices."

Delaware Chancery Court Rulings Provide Insights on Reducing the Risk of Successful Shareholder Challenges
Alex TalaridesPosted on August 27, 2013
Corporations contemplating going private should take note of recent rulings from the Delaware Court of Chancery, which provide clear guidance on how to structure their transactions to reduce the risk of being subjected to the "entire fairness" standard of review.
Several months ago, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued an important MFW decision, in which Chancellor Strine set forth the procedural mechanisms a company can employ so that a going-private transaction with its controlling stockholder can be reviewed under the deferential business judgment rule, as opposed to the more stringent entire fairness standard. In that decision, Chancellor Strine held that the business judgment rule would apply if: (1) the controlling stockholder at the outset conditions the transaction on the approval of both a special committee and a non-waivable vote of a majority of the minority investors; (2) the special committee was independent, (3) fully empowered to negotiate the transaction, or to say no definitively, and to select its own advisors, and (4) satisfied its requisite duty of care; and (5) the stockholders were fully informed and uncoerced.
More recently, in SEPTA v. Volgenau, C.A. No. 6354-VCN (Del. Ch. Aug. 5, 2013), Vice Chancellor Noble provided further clarity on when a sale of a company with a controlling stockholder will be entitled to business judgment rule review. In SEPTA, Vice Chancellor Noble applied the business judgment rule and granted summary judgment to the defendants in case that challenged the acquisition of SRA International by Providence Equity Partners. Like the change-in-control transaction in MFW, the change-in-control transaction in SEPTA was negotiated by a disinterested and independent special committee and approved by a majority of the minority stockholders. Unlike MFW, however, where the controlling stockholder was the buyer in the transaction, SEPTA involved a transaction in which a third party was the buyer, and in which the controlling stockholder agreed to roll over a portion of his shares into the merged entity.

The Attack on Executive Compensation: New Approach Unlikely to Avoid the Business Judgment Rule
Amy RossPosted on August 29, 2012
On August 17, 2012, a shareholder filed a derivative suit in Delaware federal court against Viacom Inc.'s board of directors, alleging they wasted corporate assets by awarding lavish corporate bonuses. In a novel approach that hardly mentions the "say-on-pay" provisions of Dodd-Frank, the plaintiff argued that the company violated §162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m) limits corporate tax deductions that can be taken by a company for any senior executive compensation over $1 million to that which is determined by objective, performance-based criteria such that a "third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether the goal is met." 26 CFR § 1.162-27(e)(2)(ii).
The complaint alleges that Viacom's tax deductions for the compensation in excess of $1 million paid to executive chairman Sumner Redstone and two other senior executives were based on subjective criteria like "leadership and vision" and therefore violated Section 162(m). The complaint seeks to force repayment to Viacom of $36 million in past compensation. The complaint also seeks broader voting rights on executive compensation issues. Specifically, the plaintiff wants Class B shareholders to have voting rights on executive compensation (currently, only Class A shareholders have them).
The complaint further alleges that Viacom's Compensation Committee awarded these annual bonuses to its senior executives in a manner that violated its own shareholder-approved 2007 compensation plan, which required the Committee meet the requirements of §162(m). READ MORE →

Teen Girls at YSS Helinski Shelter Make Baby Blankets for Wheeling Hospital > News | Youth Services System, Inc.
Hospital's Nurse Anesthetists Regularly Hold Clothing and Supply Drives for Girls
Contact: Betsy Bethel-McFarland, bmcfarland@ysswv.com, 304-218-2870
WHEELING, W.Va. -- Nov. 30, 2018 — Teen girls living at Youth Services System's Helinski Shelter on Wheeling Island presented a Wheeling Hospital representative today with about 20 baby blankets they made for the hospital's labor and delivery department.
Margo Scott, Helinski site coordinator, said the girls in the emergency shelter, who are ages 8-17, have enjoyed learning from the staff how to crochet borders around fleece blankets. Scott said crocheting is calming, leads to conversations with each other and the staff, and gives the girls a skill they can use the rest of their lives.
They started out making blankets for themselves, but after receiving donated items from Wheeling Hospital's certified registered nurse anesthetists several times this year, the girls decided to use their new skills to give back to the hospital by making blankets for the babies born there.
Lisa Smith, community outreach coordinator for the certified registered nurse anesthetists, today delivered another SUV full of items to the emergency shelter and at the same time picked up the blankets for the hospital.
This is the third time this year the nurse anesthetists have taken up a collection for the emergency shelter. They held a Jeans for Teens drive as well as a summer recreation drive for items such as beach towels and sunscreen. The items Smith delivered today included hair accessories, nail polish, socks and gloves, adult coloring books, colored pencils, books, footballs, soccer balls and clothes.
"I want to thank the nurse anesthetists who donated. They really went above and beyond to help these kids in need," Smith said

Court of Justice dismisses appeals in the Calcium Carbide Cartel
On 16 June 2016, the Court of Justice ("the Court") dismissed two appeals brought by Evonik Degussa GmbH ("Degussa") and SKW Stahl-Metallurgie Holding AG ("SKW Holding") concerning the Commission decision relating to the calcium carbide cartel. The Court's judgments deal with the concept of the liability of a parent company holding all or almost all capital in a subsidiary. The judgments confirm that there is a high threshold to rebut the presumption that a parent company has actually exercised decisive influence over its subsidiary.
In 2009, the Commission adopted a decision relating to a price-fixing cartel on the calcium carbonate and magnesium market between 2004 and 2007. In particular, the Commission found that SKW Stahl-Metallurgie GmbH ("SKW") had participated directly in the cartel. Due to the fact that SKW was a subsidiary of Degussa between April 2004 and August 2004, and of SKW Holding between September 2004 and January 2007, the Commission also held these subsequent parent companies liable for SKW's participation. After the General Court ("GC") dismissed most of their grounds of appeal against the decision in 2014, both Degussa and SKW Holding appealed to the Court [see our February 2014 newsletter].
Degussa had explicitly instructed SKW not to participate in any competition law infringement. The GC, rather counter-intuitively, found that the fact that SKW participated in the infringement in contravention of Degussa's instructions was a strong indication of the actual exercise of decisive influence by Degussa over SKW. Degussa objected to this reasoning. The Court of Justice sided with Degussa, stating that although an express instruction can be a strong indication of the actual exercise of decisive influence by a parent over a subsidiary, the fact that a subsidiary does not comply with that explicit instruction cannot be regarded as such an indication. Despite this, the Court held that Degussa had failed to prove that it was SKW's normal practice not to carry out instructions from its parent company. Therefore, the Court concluded that the GC had not erred in law in finding that Degussa had failed to rebut the presumption that it exercised decisive influence over SKW.
SKW Holding argued in its appeal that its right to be heard was infringed because the Hearing Officer refused a request for a closed hearing during the administrative proceedings before the Commission. SKW Holding had wished to put forward arguments concerning the role of Degussa in the period following the sale of SKW to SKW Holding, without Degussa being present during such hearing. The Hearing Officer had refused, arguing that SKW Holding's right of defence did not take priority over that of Degussa.
The Court held that the Hearing Officer should not have refused SKW Holding's request. As Degussa was never accused of having participated in the cartel in respect of the period following the sale of SKW to SKW Holding, it was a third party to the proceedings in respect of that period. Accordingly, Degussa's right of defence would not have been harmed. Notwithstanding this error, the Court held that SKW Holding had failed to show that the outcome of the proceedings would have been different had the closed hearing been granted.

Q: How can I break the HTTP Interceptor circuit in Blazor WASM? In my Blazor WebAseembly application there are a few HTTP interceptors (delegating handlers). The UnAuthorized interceptor checks the HTTP status code and if it's 401, the rest of the pipeline do not matter, and user needs to be redirected to the login page.

How can I achieve this in Blazor? Currently I get exception in other interceptors or the HTTP client, because they all execute. But I need to break the circuit somehow.

A: I used an http client interceptor in my app as follows:
First I installed "Toolbelt.Blazor.HttpClientInterceptor" nuget.
Then I created a new HttpInterceptorService.cs class:
// HttpInterceptorService.cs
public class HttpInterceptorService
{
    private readonly HttpClientInterceptor _interceptor;
    private readonly NavigationManager _navManager;
    public HttpInterceptorService(HttpClientInterceptor interceptor, NavigationManager navManager)
    {
        _interceptor = interceptor;
        _navManager = navManager;
    }
    public void RegisterEvent() => _interceptor.AfterSend += InterceptResponse;
    privatevoid InterceptResponse(object sender, HttpClientInterceptorEventArgs e)
    {
        string message = string.Empty;
        if (!e.Response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            var statusCode = e.Response.StatusCode;
            switch (statusCode)
            {
                case HttpStatusCode.NotFound:
                    _navManager.NavigateTo("/404");
                    message = "The requested resorce was not found.";
                    break;
                case HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized:
                    _navManager.NavigateTo("/unauthorized");
                    message = "User is not authorized";
                    break;
                default:
                    _navManager.NavigateTo("/500");
                    message = "Something went wrong, please contact Administrator";
                    break;
            }
            throw new HttpResponseException(message);
        }
    }
    public void DisposeEvent() => _interceptor.AfterSend -= InterceptResponse;
}

When I want to use it in a razor page, I do as following:
@* SomePage.razor *@
@inject HttpInterceptorService Interceptor
@implements IDisposable
...

@code {
    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        Interceptor.RegisterEvent();
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        Interceptor.DisposeEvent();
    }
}

When the user is not authorized on that page, it will automatically navigate to the specified location.
You can add more routes not only for authorization, simply customize the switch case in the HttpInterceptorService.cs
