THE BRILLUSTRATOR: Chalk + Comics is made of WIN!
So yesterday we had the big "DC Reboot Chalk Competition" at Comic Book Ink! It was pretty fun...and very exhausting! I was so drained that by the time I was drawing the lettering my legs and arms were shaking really bad! *Whew!* But I mostly did what I wanted to do. I was drawing Swamp-Thing! Bernie Wrightson's (one of my artistic heroes) creepy creation from the seventies. He's one of the characters getting a new number one issue during the big reboot, and I think one of the cooler guys in the DCU. He's also a more obscure character than Superman or Bats...or even Green Lantern or the Flash, so I was trying to be a little indy.
So I managed to get a couple of progress snaps before the camera battery gave up the ghost. I took about 3 and a half of the 4 hour time alotment...and I was fairly satisfied with the results. I could have kept going, adding more elements to it, like flowers and leaves and stuff, but I was pretty wiped out by the end, so I needed to stop! I have GOT to get in better shape! Guess I should chalk more. It's a work out--I'll tell you that!
This was my second attempt at chalking, so I don't think I can complain too much, because, though I can see many things I wish I had done differently, it still came out pretty good and overall, I'm happy with it!
And I also did a little advertising for my comic! LOL Monlux, our CLAW "Master of the Super-sale" taught me that little trick!

Review of Carson's The Intolerance of Tolerance
June 23, 2012 by Roger E. Olson
Review of Carson's The Intolerance of Tolerance June 23, 2012 Roger E. Olson
Review of The Intolerance of Tolerance by D. A. Carson (Eerdmans, 2012)
The Intolerance of Tolerance is Carson's latest jeremiad about postmodernism. His earlier one was The Gagging of God: Christianity Confronts Pluralism (Zondervan, 2002). The basic thesis of The Intolerance of Tolerance (henceforth simply Intolerance) is that our culture is in the process of adopting an intolerant attitude toward real moral and intellectual pluralism in the name of tolerance. Carson's thesis is expressed in many ways and illustrated by numerous anecdotes. Here is one statement of his thesis: "In the name of not offending anyone, we are in danger of appealing to the virtue of tolerance to become more intolerant." (p. 28) An example (anecdote) from the "domain of education" is the case of one Scott McConnell whose term paper for a class at Le Moyne College advocated corporal punishment received an A minus. However, according to Carson, the student was dismissed from the college by the chair of the education department due to an alleged "mismatch between [his] personal beliefs…and the Le Moyne College program goals." (p. 29)
Most of his anecdotes about intolerance in the name of tolerance have more to do with persecution of religious believers and especially Christians in education and the media.
Throughout the book Carson works with a distinction between two views of tolerance—one "old" and the other "new." According to him, the old view combined tolerance with realism regarding truth. That is, truth is "out there," real, objective in itself. In this older view of tolerance, it is a path toward social harmony and, at least in some cases, toward a greater grasp of truth through dialogue between competing visions of truth. According to Carson, "the new tolerance argues that there is no one view that is exclusively true." (p. 11)
It seems to me that, throughout the book, Carson describes the "new view" in different and sometimes confusing ways. For example, "there is no one view that is exclusively true" isn't incompatible with the old view. And it doesn't equate with "all paths are equally right." (also p. 11)
Let's look at that again.
On a single page (11), Carson describes the "new view" in two very different ways. First, it is that "no one view…is exclusively true." Second, it is that "all paths [to truth] are equally right."
Then, on another page (13) Carson muddies the waters even more by describing the new view as that "all truth is relative"—a definition (or description) of the new view of tolerance he uses repeatedly throughout the book. This would seem to be a third definition/description of the "new tolerance."
Are these three descriptions of the same thing? Not necessarily. A person might very well believe there is objective truth "out there" (realism) without believing that any one view of it is "exclusively true." (Remember that "exclusively" means "to the exclusion of everything else." A view that is "exclusively true" would imply that it has no mixture of error in it and that other views contain no truth.) A person might very well believe that truth is real, "out there," so to speak, and at the same time deny that any view of truth is "exclusively true."
Also, a person might believe that all paths (to truth) are equally right and believe in real truth "out there" (realism); it's just that all the major paths toward it are equally fallible but also lead there in the end. (Nobody thinks literally all belief systems are "equally right." Some are plainly delusional such as solipsism.)
What Carson seems to mean by the "new tolerance" is relativism; that's the one he settles down with throughout most of the book. And the book's argument is that 1) relativism is unstable and inconsistent, and 2) relativism should not allow intolerance—even with regard to absolutism, and 3) many movers and shakers of contemporary culture (especially British and North American as all the examples he cites come from them) act hypocritical because they claim to embrace the new tolerance (relativism) while at the same time acting against absolutisms such as traditional Christianity on the ground that they are intolerant.
A quote near the book's beginning expresses well what Carson opposes. It is from Leslie Armour, professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of Ottowa: "Our idea is that to be a virtuous citizen is to be one who tolerates everything except intolerance." (p. 12) (Carson doesn't cite a primary source for this quote; his sources are radio talk show host Bob Harvey and authors Josh McDowell and Bob Hostetler. See footnote 14 on p. 12) One has to wonder about that quote. Could Armour really have meant that without qualifications? The quote also raises questions about context. In what contexts (government, corporate, education, home, church) ought a virtuous citizen tolerate everything except intolerance?
In any case, throughout the book Carson is attacking the gist of that quote and the practices to which it gives rise and especially the common idea among movers and shakers of culture that, since Christianity is intolerant because it makes exclusive and absolutistic truth claims, it ought not to be tolerated.
Again, he attacks it on the basis that it is 1) inconsistent and therefore hypocritical (especially when put into practice to persecute people who make truth claims, and 2) dangerous to true pluralism. In the name of pluralism, the new tolerance excludes all views that claim to be true to the exclusion of other views even when they are not trying to persecute anyone. The new tolerance assumes that to claim access to truth is to persecute others even if only by hurting their feelings.
I agree with Carson that this extreme version of "new tolerance" is inconsistent and often intolerant. Most of the examples he cites, however, are of individuals or private organizations (not government) exercising bad judgment—sometimes out of ignorance of the law, sometimes out of desire that no one's feelings be hurt, and sometimes out of antipathy toward absolutism of any kind and especially religious. Occasionally an agent of government or a court engages in "new tolerance" reasoning. Especially when that can be shown to be the case, Carson's argument needs to be heard and heeded. (And, by the way, it is a case that has been made many times before by both secular and religious people on both the "right" and "left.")
I think, however, that it would be helpful to distinguish more clearly between cases of the intolerance of new tolerance, relativism, anti-absolutism, in private and in public spheres. (By "public" here I mean government.) Most of it goes on in private organizations and institutions even if those are very "public" as in broadcast media. I wonder why that surprises or even dismays anyone? It seems to me that surprise and dismay at it reveal an expectation that Christianity (and clearly Carson is mainly concerned with persecution of Christians at the hands of adherents of the new tolerance) should be socially acceptable. I think a good case could be made that Jesus expected that his faithful followers would always be criticized and persecuted by "the world." That is not to say it's not worth pointing out that advocates of the new tolerance are being inconsistent; it's just to express some bemusement at Carson's apparent desire that culture tolerate Christians to the extent of accepting us "in the conversation," so to speak, as equals with everyone else. I suspect that, to the extent we are really following Jesus Christ, we will not be seated at that table and given a fair hearing by the movers and shakers of culture.
In my opinion, it is worthwhile for Christians to expect a government such as ours, based on our Constitution, not to persecute Christians by marginalizing or excluding us, that is by singling us out for special negative treatment. On the other hand, it should not surprise us when efforts to do that are attempted even by government. But I have no objection to those legal organizations that come to the aid of Christians whose constitutional rights are being violated.
One type of intolerance Carson does not address is contemporary Christian intolerance of others. He decries past examples of it (e.g., the Inquisition, the Crusades, etc.), but says little about contemporary attempts by Christians to suppress minority voices WITHIN Christian organizations and networks (e.g., evangelicalism). As I have argued here many times before, there is a certain very vocal element within evangelicalism that uses pressures on publishers, colleges, seminaries and universities, etc., to suppress views other than their own. Carson might argue that such people have a right to do that. Of course they do, if we're talking about constitutional rights, legal rights. But it seems hypocritical to me to tout true tolerance, "old tolerance," and then engage in efforts to suppress or silence others' views. (I'm thinking, for example, of evangelical authors who threatened not to publish with an evangelical publisher if it published books by open theists.)
A major point of Carson's book with which I agree is that, to a very large extent, contemporary secularists pretend their world view is neutral and normal so that it ought to be privileged in the "public square" while all religious world views should be privatized. Carson is right to point out that there is no neutrality; every worldview, secular or religious, has at least a quasi-religious aspect to it. None should be privileged in the public square and that includes secular humanism or just plain secularism.
However, it also seems to me that neither should Christianity be privileged in the public square. I don't know what Carson thinks about that. One could get the impression from this book that he agrees, but to me it's not clear. Many conservative evangelicals do think that Christianity ought to be privileged by government and extensions of government (e.g., public schools). I think a great deal of the "new tolerance" arises from that phenomenon—the threat of conservative Christians grabbing power and marginalizing or even silencing other voices. The perception is that conservative Christianity is inherently anti-pluralistic. Conservative Christians don't help with that perception when they, for example, support legislation of specifically Christian morality (i.e., criminalizing behavior deemed immoral only by Christians or some sect of Christians). As Christians, we could help the situation (if that's what we want to do) by disowning and even publicly repenting for some of our past behaviors in which we have criminalized and persecuted people we considered "ungodly" because of their appearance, behavior that didn't harm anyone, expressions of opinion, etc. We have a lot to live down—especially in parts of the country where conservative Christianity was tied in with intolerance toward minorities, ethnic and ideological.
Having said all that, it is my opinion that belief in God or a Higher Power is conducive to public morality because, without it, there is no ground or basis for belief in objective right and wrong. Without it there is no possibility of appeal to a "higher law" than "man's law" (as Martin Luther King, Jr. rightly appealed to in his Letter from Birmingham Jail). That does not mean I think atheism or agnosticism should be criminalized; it just means I think theism should be privileged in the public square even as non-theistic voices are allowed to speak. There is no such thing as absolute, unfettered tolerance. We require public officials to take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. That could be interpreted as intolerant toward persons who wish to abolish the Constitution. Nobody thinks that is intolerant, or at least nobody thinks that's bad intolerance.
One complaint I have about Carson's book is its treatment of "postmodernism." Throughout the book Carson treats postmodernism as inherently relativistic. Yet he displays no first hand acquaintance with postmodern philosophers such as Derrida, Foucault, Levinas, et al. My own study has convinced me that most of them were not relativists. The Christian secondary literature on this is, in my opinion, largely mistaken. Most of it simply quotes other conservative Christian anti-modernist literature. Few conservative Christian critics of postmodernism demonstrate any serious engagement with postmodern philosophy's primary sources. I've talked about that here before and recommended a few evangelical sources that seem to me reliable because they have actually read postmodern philosophers themselves as opposed to relying on secondary sources. (An excellent example is Bruce Ellis Benson's Graven Ideologies [IVP].)

This month's Update features games mainly from Gibraltar and Wijk aan Zee, including a few smooth victories for White, but also some dangerous surprise weapons for Black!
Download PGN of February '18 Flank Openings games
Réti Opening, Lasker's System 5 Qb3 [A11]
In the Lasker system after 1 Nf3 Nf6 2 g3 d5 3 Bg2 c6 4 c4 Bf5, this month we look at the early queen sortie 5 Qb3. Note that if White exchanges pawns on the d5-square before playing this move, he has to reckon with the tricky gambit 5 cxd5 cxd5 6 Qb3 Nc6! which was covered in the December 2017 Update.
After 5...Qb6 6 d3 e6, the mainline is now Wang Yue's move 7 Be3. Here Black should probably trade queens, but in Hillarp Persson, T - Alekseenko, he tried the sharper 7...dxc4?!:
The game showed that this is questionable for Black because of 8 Qxc4!, sacrificing the b2-pawn. White secures excellent compensation, since Black's queenside is vulnerable and he lags in development. White had several tactical opportunities to put the game beyond doubt, but went wrong and even lost.
Accelerated Nimzo 1 c4 e6 2 Nc3 Bb4 [A13]
The Accelerated Nimzo 1 c4 e6 2 Nc3 Bb4 is a slightly offbeat opening that surprisingly appeared twice in the Tata Steel Masters. Now 3 Qb3 tries to take specific advantage of Black's 2nd move and gives this line its own flavour:
Here the subtle 3...Ba5!? was Kramnik's choice against Giri, while the main game Svidler, P - Carlsen, M instead saw 3...c5!?. The World Champion's move is a controversial choice because after 4 Nb5, Black can't respond 4...d6? because of 5 Qg3 with a double attack on the d6- and g7-pawns.
Instead, after 4...Nc6 5 Nd6+ White secured the two bishops and deprived Black of castling rights. Nevertheless, Black soon whipped up an initiative, and a tactical slugfest ended in a spectacular draw by perpetual check.
King's English 2...d6 3 g3 Be7 4 Bg2 f5 [A21]
In So, W - Adhiban, B Black chose the rarely seen, but solid setup 1 c4 d6 2 Nc3 e5 3 g3 Be7 4 Bg2 f5. Black claims space with ...e7-e5 and ...f7-f5, while the e7-bishop discourages White's knight sorties to the g5- or h4-squares that are often seen in such positions:
Now White decided to take his chances in the queenless middlegame with 5 d4 Nf6 6 dxe5 dxe5 7 Qxd8+ Bxd8. Black has scored quite well from this position, but there is plenty of scope for both sides to outplay an opponent. After the (objectively unsound) piece sac 15 Ndb5(?) the game suddenly entered a complex tactical phase, from which So eventually emerged in a better endgame.
King's English, Reversed Dragon 5...Nxc3 [A22]
In Lalith, B - Dubov, D, the opening moves 1 c4 e5 2 Nc3 Nf6 3 g3 avoided the trendy line 3 Nf3 Nc6 4 g3 d5 5 cxd5 Nxd5 6 Bg2 Bc5 which we covered heavily in the last 6 months. Dubov nevertheless entered the Reversed Dragon with 3...d5 4 cxd5 Nxd5 5 Bg2 and now unleashed the surprise 5...Nxc3!?. Theory has typically dismissed this move as it appears to simply strengthen White's centre:
Starting with 7...Bc5 and 9...Qf6, Black's aim was to restrain White's central pawn majority and then build up firepower to attack it. In the game it all worked out perfectly for Dubov, so his idea definitely deserves further investigation. Perhaps this will emerge as a companion line to 6...Bc5 in an "anything but ...Nb6" repertoire?!
King's English 2...d6 3 Nf3 f5 4 g3 Nc6 [A27]
Aronian, L - Short, N saw another setup where Black goes for an early ...f7-f5, this time starting 1 c4 e5 2 Nc3 d6 3 Nf3 f5 4 g3 Nc6. Both players have experience in this line, which became sharp very quickly after the principled sequence 5 d4 e4 6 d5:
Now following 6...Ne5 Aronian repeated his choice from a blitz game with Ivanchuk, blasting the position open with 7 Nxe5 dxe5 8 g4!?. Short improved on that game with 8...Bc5 which led to an unusual and roughly balanced position. It turns out that 8...Qh4! may have been even better and could throw White's earlier choices into doubt.
King's English, Karpov Variation [A29]
The Karpov Variation 1 c4 e5 2 g3 Nc6 3 Bg2 Bc5 continues to be a popular and reliable choice. A number of recent games have seen White go for an early e2-e3 and d2-d4, while in Duda, J-K - Grigoriants, S White went for the classical main line leading to the diagram position:
In the game, Black demonstrated a good re-grouping plan involving ...Nc6-e7-g6, and I believe we should have no worries if he continues with a later ...c7-c6. Instead he allowed White to getting nagging c-file pressure after an exchange of knights on the d5-square.
Symmetrical English 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 e5 [A30]
Lagno, K - Grandelius, N started with the uncommon 1 Nf3 c5 2 c4 Nc6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 e5!? 5 Nb5 a6!? This particular line was recommended by fellow Chess Publishing contributor Richard Palliser in a book about 10 years ago! Following 6 Nd6+ Bxd6 7 Qxd6 Qf6 Black gives up the two bishops and compromises his pawn structure, in return for a lead in development.
In this game, Grandelius' surprise weapon worked perfectly, as this line is tricky to deal with if White is not prepared. After 10 g3 b5! Black played energetically, and soon built a strong initiative.
Symmetrical English Three Knights 3...g6 4 e3, 8...e6 [A35]

Black was soon in a very uncomfortable bind and went down in a remarkably one-sided technical game. More tests are needed to determine whether Black can find a reliable way to equalize after 12 Re1.

Garmin nüvi® 1690 and nüLink!sm Connect Drivers with Relevant, Online Information
September 3, 2009 7:00 AM EDT
OLATHE, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the global leader in satellite navigation, announced today the nüvi 1690, a portable navigation device (PND) with a built-in wireless module that lets customers tap into Garmin's nüLink! service that provides direct links to certain online information like Google™ local search, traffic, weather, fuel prices, movie listings, flight status, local events, white page telephone listings and Ciao!™, Garmin's exclusive location-based social networking system that connects multiple networks into a single portal for Garmin users. The U.S. version of the nüvi 1690 comes with two years of free Garmin nüLink! service, which makes it the first PND to offer an extended period of online features included in the purchase price of the device.
"Our customers want and need accurate, up-to-the-minute information that they can access quickly and without hassles," said Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales. "The nüvi 1690 meets these expectations by combining the power of Google's local search and other compelling online services with preloaded maps and points of interest for the ultimate navigation experience. And best of all, the nüvi 1690 includes two years of Garmin nüLink! service out-of-the-box, eliminating any hesitation that customers might have about paying for these premium services."
The nüvi 1690 with nüLink! has the most comprehensive set of POI search capabilities offered by any PND thanks to the implementation of Google local search and white page telephone listings. Google's local search brings online points of interest (POIs) to customers' fingertips and lets them search for destinations by name or key words just like they are accustomed to doing on their personal computer. In addition, Garmin has created a "quick search" feature that lets users search via categories like food, lodging and fuel, rather than typing a word or phrase into the search box. Detailed search results are displayed for many POIs including a location description, business address, phone number and popularity rating. Customers can also use the nüLink! white page telephone listing feature to search for a person's street address by their first name, last name or phone number.
In addition to the local search capabilities, Garmin nüLink! offers a plethora of other online services. Local events and movie listings help customers find interesting activities wherever they might travel. Real-time flight status takes the stress out of traveling to the airport with up-to-the minute arrival and departure information for major air carriers. And the Garmin nüLink! traffic feature provides the best-in-class information from NAVTEQ to help customers navigate in and around congestion.
Customers can also opt to use the nüvi 1690's preloaded POI database to search for a location and then receive turn-by-turn, voice prompted directions to the destination. The nüvi 1690 includes lane assist with junction view so drivers will see a realistic presentation of road signs and junctions along the route, as well as arrows that indicate the proper lane for navigation. These features make it easy to navigate unfamiliar intersections and exits because the nüvi guides drivers to the correct lane for an approaching turn or exit. Map and traffic data is provided by NAVTEQ™ – a world leader in premium-quality mapping.
The nüvi 1690 is also Garmin's first mobile navigation device to transform traditional social networking into location-enabled social networking. Through Ciao!, a patent-pending social network application that links multiple location-centric social networks onto one application, customers have the option of sharing their whereabouts with friends and family. Ciao! users will see their friends' location on a map and then be able to navigate to that location. Ciao! currently aggregates information from GyPSii and uLocate's Buddy Beacon social network services. Ciao! is expandable and additional social network partners are expected in the future.
The nüvi 1690 comes standard with ecoRoute™, an innovative application that helps customers stretch their dollars and conserve fuel by creating routes that are optimized for using less fuel. When a user selects the "less fuel" option, the nüvi will determine a fuel efficient route based on fuel consumption rates, estimated driving speeds and vehicle acceleration data. Customers can then develop better driving habits by reviewing the results of ecoRoute's Fuel Report and Mileage Report. When used in combination with nüLink!'s fuel prices, customers can not only optimize their routes but also can choose their refueling locations in order to minimize the cost of vehicle operation.
The nüvi 1690 also has Bluetooth® Wireless Technology that makes it possible to receive and place phone calls directly from the nüvi. It can be paired with over 200 Bluetooth enabled phones, and a driver can retrieve and dial numbers using a supported phone's contact list, the phone's call history log, or the nüvi's preloaded points of interest database.
The U.S. version of the nüvi 1690 has preloaded maps of North America and is expected to be available in the fourth quarter for a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $499.99. In the U.S., the first two years of Garmin nüLink! is free, and after that, the subscription renewal price for data services is $5.00/month. Fuel prices in the U.S. are updated daily. nüLink! coverage area information is available at www.garmin.com/nulink.

[IP Newsletter] Decision by the IP High Court regarding average molecular weight and the clarity of claims requirement
We are pleased to announce the February 2017 issue of Sonderhoff & Einsel IP Newsletter.
The plaintiff, X, filed an invalidation trial against a patent held by defendant ROHTO Pharmaceutical
Co. Ltd. which claimed a violation of the clarity of claims requirement based on the lack of clarity of
the "average molecular weight" in the claims. The JPO, however, made a decision to maintain the
The plaintiff was not satisfied with the decision by the JPO and appealed to the Intellectual Property
High Court, which led to the JPO's decision being denied.
The subject matter of the present patent was a "refreshing composition for ophthalmology"
containing chondroitin sulfate or a salt thereof which has a specific average molecular weight. The
defendant filed a patent application in 2005, and the establishment of the patent right was
registered in 2013.

[IP Newsletter] Decision by the Grand Panel of Intellectual Property High Court (January 20, 2017) Regarding Scope of Extended Patent Right
We are pleased to announce the January 2017 issue of Sonderhoff & Einsel IP Newsletter.
The plaintiff, a Swiss pharmaceutical company called Debiopharm, requested an injunction against defendant Towa Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (a generic pharmaceutical drug manufacturer) and removal from the market of Towa's alleged infringing product based on Debiopharm's extended patent right.
The Tokyo District Court rejected the request for an injunction by the plaintiff, and the plaintiff appealed the court's decision to the Intellectual Property High Court. The High Court affirmed the District Court's decision that the effect of the patent right does not extend to the alleged product.
The subject matter of the dispute was "oxaliplatin," an infusion drug used to fight colon cancer and other related cancers. The plaintiff filed a patent application in 1995 for the drug, and the production and distribution of the drug was started by a Japanese company, Yakult, in 2005. Later, more than ten companies including Towa started selling the generic drug after they had obtained approval from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. The plaintiff filed a lawsuit against Towa because the extended patent term had not expired at the time Towa began selling the product.

"Maxacalcitol" Manufacturing Process Patent Case
Subject: equivalent infringement
This case is a groundbreaking infringement case with regard to the doctrine of equivalents (DOE) in Japan. Here, the originator of "Maxacalcitol" (plaintiff) filed a patent infringement suit against several generic manufacturers (defendants) and the decision was rendered in favor of the plaintiff by the Japanese IP High Court. The defendants were found to infringe the process patent owned by the plaintiff under (DOE).
In the pharmaceutical field, patent infringement under the DOE was established under the "ball spline bearing case" where the Supreme Court set forth five requirements to apply the DOE.[1] Although the Japanese IP High Court has rarely applied the DOE, this case is an exception, and the IP High Court has not only applied the DOE but has also further explained its requirements 1 (non-essential part) and 5 (special circumstance).
The plaintiff owns a patent for a manufacturing process of vitamin-D-derivatives, including generic name: "Maxacalcitol" (hereinafter: "the present patent"). The defendants' end product and process is the same as that of the patented manufacturing process except that the plaintiff uses a "cis"-isomer vitamin-D-derivative as the starting material and intermediate, whereas the defendants use its geometric isomer, i.e. a "trans"-isomer of vitamin-D-derivative. The difference of the "trans"-isomer compared to the "cis"-isomer does not have any influence on the manufacturing process according to the present patent. Further, in the last step, to receive the generic (i.e., the identical) molecule, the defendants removed the initial difference of the starting material. The last step, i.e., from the "trans"-isomer into the "cis"-isomer, is an additional step compared to the patented method. The plaintiff argued that the defendants' manufacturing process infringes the present patent under the DOE.
The main issues were, whether the first and the fifth requirements of the five requirements of the DOE specified by the Supreme Court in the "ball spline bearing case" are satisfied.
The Court focused on requirements 1 and 5 and looked at the following issues:
Requirement 1 (non-essential part): Does the essential part of the invention lie in obtaining an epoxide compound from a starting material having a vitamin-D-structure and then treating the same with a reducing agent as asserted by the plaintiff, or in whether the vitamin-D-structure of the starting material and the intermediate is a "cis"-isomer or a "trans"-isomer as asserted by the defendants?
Requirement 5 (special circumstances): Does the fact that solely a "cis"-isomer vitamin-D-structure is claimed fall under a special circumstance?
Decision of the IP High Court, Grand Panel
(Decision of IP High Court; March 25, 2016)
Regarding the first requirement (non-essential part) of the DOE, the court found that "the essential part of a patent invention lies in a characteristic part constituting a unique technical concept that did not exist in prior art, among the description of patented claims", and that "since the substantial value of the patented invention must be determined in accordance with the degree of contribution compared with prior art in the relevant technical field, the essential part of a patent invention must be evaluated based on the wording of the claims and the specification, in particular based on comparison with the prior art mentioned in the specification". Based on that maxim, the IP High Court confirmed the decision of the Tokyo District Court and came to the conclusion that, whether the vitamin-D-structure of the starting material and the intermediate is a "cis"-isomer or a "trans"-isomer is not an essential part of the present invention, and, thus, that the first requirement of the DOE is satisfied.
With respect to the fifth requirement (special circumstances), the court stated that "if a patent owner was unable to easily enforce his/her patent right of a product at issue (such as through injunctive relief) by a mere substitution of a non-essential part of a patent invention, motivation for inventions of the society will be diminished, which is against the purpose of the patent law to contribute to the development of the industry by protecting and promoting innovations as well as social justice and the principle of equity. The doctrine of equivalents is to avoid such a situation, and even if a feature that is outside the scope of patent claims could have been easily conceived at the time of the filing, said fact alone does not constitute the reason to negate the doctrine of equivalents".
The IP High Court came to the conclusion that the fact that the applicant did not specify a "trans"-isomer of vitamin-D-structure in the claims does not fall under the "special circumstances" of the fifth requirement of the DOE, because it is not objectively and apparently acknowledgeable that the applicant of the present patent at the time of filing had or had not recognized that a "trans"-isomer of vitamin-D-structure would substitute for the starting material. An infringement under the DOE was thus affirmed.
Our comments The decision in the "Maxacalcitol" case will likely bring clearer guidance for IP strategies when originators consider the possibility of patent infringement suits based on their process, formulation or crystal patent, etc., after the expiration of a substance patent.
[1] The "ball spline bearing case" decision specified the following requirements as the requirements for applying the doctrine of equivalents: 1) non-essential part; 2) replaceability; 3) ease of replacement; 4) ease of conception; 5) special circumstances, such as estoppel. (Decision of the Supreme Court (third petty bench) on case No. 1994(o)1083, February 24, 1998)

One of the great things about having an internationally recognized artist like Left Lane Cruiser call Fort Wayne their home is that they are often able to lure other internationally recognized names into town for our enjoyment. One such occasion will be when Scottish alt-blues guitarist Dave Arcari makes a stop at The Ruin, formerly Skeletunes, on October 6.
A former debt collector, Arcari is currently on tour promoting The Live EP, his newest offering showcasing some of his best concert performances. Unfortunately, the album has one flaw: you can't really get a feel for how great a live performer Arcari really is from that album alone. The only way to attest to his live show is to actually see it in person.
And while we're mentioning acts that leave it all on the stage night after night, Left Lane Cruiser will, of course, open the show. What more can be said about LLC that we haven't already said a hundred times in this very publication? It's down-and-dirty blues played by two guys making enough noise to sound like a full band. Oh, and the songs are great, too.

Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, mer känd som Pewdiepie  (stiliserat som PewDiePie), född 24 oktober 1989 i Vasa församling i Göteborg, är en svensk youtubare, komiker och underhållare över internet. Hans kanalinnehåll på Youtube består mestadels av let's plays-buskis och sedan 2017 driver han även ett antal serier som förekommer varje vecka. Dessa är LWIAY, Pew News och ibland även bokrecensioner. Pewdiepie var den youtubekanal med flest prenumeranter i över fem år, från 2013 till 2019.

Han inledde sin karriär med att kommentera spel inom skräck- och actiongenrerna, främst Amnesia: The Dark Descent, men har senare även kommenterat andra spel som till exempel Skate, Grand Theft Auto V, Dark Souls, Happy Wheels, och Minecraft. Sedan cirka 2017 har hans kanal blivit mindre fokuserad på spel och handlar mer om internetfenomen, memes och hans personliga tankar och åsikter. Han kan snarare beskrivas som en underhållare än en gamer.

Pewdiepies Youtube-kanal blev en av de snabbast växande kanalerna under 2010-talet. Den 20 augusti 2013 blev kanalen den mest prenumererade på Youtube någonsin med 12 miljoner prenumeranter. Vid samma tid hade hans klipp setts över 2,2 miljarder gånger. Pewdiepie blev utsedd till årets Svenska YouTube-användare och årets Svenska Youtube-gamer på Guldtubengalan den 15 april 2014. I september 2019 nådde han över 100 miljoner prenumeranter på YouTube. Medieakademins Maktbarometer listar honom som den 30e mäktigaste på sociala medier i Sverige.

Biografi och Youtube-karriär

Felix Kjellberg är född och uppvuxen i Göteborg. Han tog studenten 2008 vid Göteborgs högre samskola och studerade därefter industriell ekonomi vid Chalmers tekniska högskola. Under våren 2010 skapade Kjellberg en Youtube-kanal som snabbt fick ett stort antal besökare och prenumeranter. Efter att 2012 hoppat av universitetsstudierna började Kjellberg jobba i en korvkiosk. Samtidigt började hans YouTube-kanal öka drastiskt i popularitet.

Under våren 2013 hade Pewdiepie sex miljoner prenumeranter på sin Youtube-kanal. Han konkurrerade därmed med etablerade internetprofiler såsom Jenna Marbles, Toby Turner och komikerduon Smosh. Pewdiepies Youtube-kanal blev en av de snabbast växande under 2012 och 2013 för att juli 2013 bli den näst mest prenumererade.

Den 15 augusti 2013 passerade Pewdiepie Smosh i antal Youtube-prenumerationer och i december 2013 hade han mer än 17 miljoner prenumeranter. Pewdiepies Youtube-kanal blev därmed världens mest sedda. I juli 2014 nådde han 29 miljoner prenumeranter. Samtidigt blev hans kanal den mest strömmade någonsin med mer än 5,2 miljarder visningar. I augusti samma år hade kanalen 30 miljoner prenumeranter. Han har nu (2019) över 100 miljoner prenumeranter.

År 2016 placerade Time honom på listan över världens 100 mest inflytelserika personer.

På julafton 2016 laddade han upp videon "Can this video get 1 million dislikes?" där han uppmanade alla att ogilla klippet för att komma upp i en miljon ogillningar. I maj 2019 hade videon ungefär 4 miljoner ogillningar, vilket gör det till den fjärde mest ogillade videon på Youtube.

I februari 2017 meddelade Disney att man avbryter sitt samarbete med Pewdiepie efter att han framfört antisemitiska skämt på sin kanal. Även Youtube valde att agera genom att ställa in sändningen av den andra säsongen av Pewdiepies Youtubeproducerade serie "Scare".

I augusti 2017 fick Pewdiepie kritik för att han sade nigger under en livestream. Flera personer rasade då mot Pewdiepie, bland annat youtubaren KSI.

Pewdiepie och T-Series
Under 2018 och även in i 2019 försiggick en kamp mellan Pewdiepie och den indiska Youtube-kanalen T-Series om vem som kunde få flest prenumeranter, då båda närmade sig det magiska antalet 100 miljoner. Inslag i denna kamp var Pewdiepies video "THIS CHANNEL IS GONNA OVERTAKE PEWDIEPIE" i augusti 2018 och disslåten Bitch Lasagna. Youtubaren FlareTV lade senare upp en livestream där man kunde se antalet prenumeranter för de två kanalerna samt skillnaden. Den 22 februari 2019 blev Pewdiepie passerad av T-Series i ungefär 8 minuter innan han återtog ledningen. Under de kommande månaderna var de två kanalerna omväxlande etta innan T-series den 14 april 2019 mer varaktigt tog ledningen, bland annat genom ett framgångsrikt samarbete med Pitbull. Pewdiepie berättade i videon Ending the Subscribe to Pewdiepie Meme att han ansåg att det hade gått för långt, och han accepterar att T-Series skulle vinna.

Pewdiepie och "E;R"
2018 fick Pewdiepie kritik då han publicerade en lista över små youtubekanaler, med avsikten att lyfta fram okända kreatörer han personligen uppskattar. Det uppdagades att en av kanalerna i listan, "E;R" bland annat innehöll material med antisemitiska, nazistiska och rasistiska referenser. Pewdiepie publicerade som svar en video där han förklarade att han inte kände till detta, att han enbart gillade kanalen för dess humoristiska animerecensioner och att han tagit bort E;R från listan över rekommenderade kanaler. Pewdiepie riktade även en känga åt sina kritiker, som han menade var mer intresserade av klick än av sanningsenlig rapportering, och konstaterade att den mediala uppmärksamheten skänkt E;R betydligt fler prenumeranter än vad hans rekommendation hade gjort.

Privatliv
Pewdiepie har sedan 2011 ett förhållande med italienskan Marzia Kjellberg, fd Bisognin. Det var också anledningen till att Felix flyttade till Veneto i Italien. I juli 2013 flyttade Pewdiepie till Storbritannien för att få bättre internetuppkoppling. Marzia Kjellberg drev fram till den 22 oktober 2018 en egen Youtube-kanal. Felix Kjellberg är son till Kappahls tidigare CIO, Johanna Kjellberg (Årets CIO 2010), och Ulf Kjellberg, VD för IT-företaget Inobiz, samt har en äldre syster. Felix friade till Marzia på en semester i Japan i april 2018. Den 20 augusti 2019, meddelade Felix Kjellberg via Twitter att han och Marzia, då Bisognin, gift sig den 19 augusti 2019.

Sommarprat
Den 3 juni 2014 meddelade Sveriges Radio att Pewdiepie var en av de 58 som valts ut att vara sommarvärd i radioprogrammet Sommar i P1 2014. Programmet sändes 9 augusti 2014.

På grund av det internationella intresset för Pewdiepies sommarprogram spelades det in på både svenska och engelska. Programmet sändes i Sveriges Radio på svenska, men samtidigt som sändningen började publicerade Sveriges Radio den engelska versionen på nätet. Den engelska versionen gjordes tillgänglig på en egen server med extra kapacitet för att inte riskera att Sveriges Radios webbplats skulle krascha.

Redan innan programmet sändes hade länken till den svenska versionen av programmet delats över 3 500 gånger, och länken till den engelska versionen cirka 49 000 gånger.

Board of Governors Graduation Medals
One medal is allocated to each AAU to be awarded to the students with the highest academic standing as defined in the criteria set out below. One medal is allocated to the General Arts programs, one to the General Social Sciences programs, and one to the General Science program to be awarded to the students with highest academic standing in each of these three general program areas as defined in the criteria set out below. Additional medals could be awarded at the discretion of the Dean, in consultation with the Provost.
Medalists are judged on their total academic performance at the University of Windsor. Students must have completed at least twenty semester courses or equivalent required in their program at the University of Windsor (with the exception of the Faculty of Education). Students will be ranked by major average, and must achieve at least an 83% cumulative average and major average. Both full-time and part-time students are eligible for consideration. Graduates from the previous Fall Convocation will be considered for medals issued at the following Spring Convocation. For programs where no major average is calculated (such as General programs), students will be ranked by cumulative average, and must achieve a cumulative average of at least 83%.
Board of Governors In-Course Medals
These medals are awarded annually, at the end of the Winter term, to the undergraduate student in each Faculty who had the highest cumulative average of all non-graduating students in that Faculty. A minimum cumulative average of 78.5% is required. The student must have completed the equivalent of at least ten courses at the University and must be registered full-time in an honours degree program.
Students in first-entry degree programs or certificate programs who graduate with a cumulative average from 80% to 89.9% will receive their degree or certificate "With Distinction". Students in first-entry degree programs or certificate programs who graduate with a cumulative average from 90% and above will receive their degree or certificate "With Great Distinction".
Registration in any program does not constitute an application for a degree, certificate, or diploma.
An official application for graduation must be filled out regardless if you are planning on attending/not attending the graduation ceremony. (Logon to the Student Portal at http://my.uwindsor.ca)
The deadline date to submit an application to graduate is March 1 for Spring Convocation and August 1 for Fall Convocation.
In cases where credit is sought for work done elsewhere, all official transcripts or other documents as required by the Registrar's Office, but not already submitted, must be conveyed to the Registrar's Office no later than six weeks before Convocation. Failure to comply with these regulations will disqualify the student from graduation at the Convocation concerned (see Standing Required for Graduation).


The first Fatah party conference in 20 years has been extended amid infighting between delegates.
The meeting of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' movement in Bethlehem was scheduled to end on Thursday after resolving disputes over how to vote for a new leadership.
But it has been extended into the weekend after some reformists walked out of the conference on Wednesday after Abbas was accused of manipulating their choice of delegates.
There have also been widespread calls for a full report on how party funds have been spent over the last two decades.
"[The conference] is not a disaster, it's expected after 20 years of no conference being held," Maryam al-Arouri, a Fatah delegate, told Al Jazeera.
"Right now we are trying to go through those 20 years of mistakes and we are trying to make sure to hold some accountable, move forward and put differences aside.
"There are accusations of corruption and screaming matches … but that is to be expected and it will all be resolved," al-Arouri said.
Al Jazeera's Nour Odeh, reporting from Bethlehem, said the delegates have made some progress but that serious differences of opinion remain.
"The fact that they've extended the time of the conference has really calmed a lot of nerves here," she said.
"The discussions that happened in the morning session were a lot calmer than the ones we were reporting on a day before.
"[They are] discussing issues ranging from culture and labour rights to women's issues and also significant issues of national ramifications like … the takeover of the Gaza Strip, or the failure of the Fatah movement over the past decade to yield any results in the peace process."
The Fatah conference suffered a blow before it began after Hamas, which effectively rules the Gaza Strip, refused to allow 400 Fatah delegates based in Gaza to attend unless Fatah releases hundreds of Hamas activists detained in the West Bank.
The conference has split Fatah delegates from Fatah-controlled West Bank and those from Hamas-run Gaza.
The Gaza delegates now demand a quota be set aside for them in Fatah's leadership bodies, and threaten repercussions – presumably a split – if they are turned down.
The West Bank delegates say the absent Gazans can vote by phone or e-mail and do not need the quotas.
Abbas was to decide on the issue later on Thursday.
The key task for the conference is to elect a new central committee and a ruling council, in the hope of giving more of a say to a younger generation that grew up fighting Israel's occupation of the West Bank.
The last Fatah congress was held in Tunis in 1989, when the movement was under the leadership of Yasser Arafat, the late Palestinian leader.

Szijjártó meets with U.S.-Hungary Business Council
Hungary's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó met with the U.S.-Hungary Business Council (USHBC), a private, non-profit organization established to facilitate and maintain dialogue on commercial ties between the United States and Hungary, in Budapest yesterday, Hungarian news agency MTI reported.

The USHBC is in talks with companies that already have a presence in Hungary, Szijjártó said. Investments at these companies are just as important as bringing new investors to the country, he added.
He noted that some 1,600 U.S. companies employ about 100,000 people in Hungary. These companies have invested more than $9 billion in the country, he added.
Hungary's Ambassador to the U.S. Réka Szemerkényi, U.S. Ambassador to Hungary Colleen Bell and Head of the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency Róbert Ésik participated at the talks with USHBC.
The USHBC is on its inaugural mission in Hungary.
"During the mission, participants will seek to promote and discover opportunities to increase their commercial cooperation with the Hungarian government and the private sector," USHBC said earlier in a statement.
The companies Bell Helicopter Textron, BorgWarner, Coca-Cola Company, Guardian Industries, Hungrana, Lilly, MetLife and Owens-Illinois are participating in the delegation.

Q: REST Api and semantic versioning My team has built several APIs and are now public. We are now adding features to one of our APIs that will be non-breaking for our existing clients, so this would be considered a minor update according to https://semver.org. We now realize we want to follow semantic versioning principles. We are also doing URI versioning. So let's say we're on v1.0.0 and now we should update it to v1.1.0. At the advice of other posts, if we decided to only ever expect the major version in the route, e.g. /api/v1/animals, but all clients would be upgraded to the latest version of v1 since it should be backwards compatible, this tells me that semantic versioning is handled internally. How is that typically handled? We have a Rails app and if our structure was as so:
/controllers
  /api
    /v1.0.0
      animals_controller.rb

If we updated to minor version v1.1.0, should we create a new v1.1.0 folder with a new animals_controller.rb file inside of it? Or if the changes are backwards compatible, then should the changes be in animals_controller.rb inside of v1.0.0? But if we do that, then really, shouldn't it just be:
/controllers
  /api
    /v1
      animals_controller.rb

?
I'm getting the impression that semantic versioning is internal and not necessarily required to be exposed to the consumers... Is it just a matter of using tags?

A:
The reason to make a real REST API is to get evolvability … a "v1" is a middle finger to your API customers, indicating RPC/HTTP (not REST) -- Fielding, 2013

Part of the point of REST is that identifiers (URI) can be just identifiers, and the domain application protocol is described by hypermedia.
So yes, if you are "doing REST correctly", then semantically versioned URI are a waste of everyone's time (because as far as the clients are concerned, the URI are opaque.  Remember, URI shorteners work.)
Where versioning tends to matter is in the semantics of the link relations and media-types.  Trying to introduce backwards incompatible changes there makes a huge mess, so a lot of work is done to maintain compatibility (which HTML5 is still text/html), and breaking compatibility is preferably implemented by introducing a new name (text/not-html-anymore).

9 to 5 is an American sitcom television series based on the 1980 film of the same name that aired on ABC from March 25, 1982, to October 27, 1983, and in first-run syndication from September 13, 1986, to March 26, 1988.

9 to 5 features Rachel Dennison, Dolly Parton's younger sister, in Parton's role of Doralee Rhodes; Rita Moreno portrayed the Lily Tomlin role of Violet Newstead, and Valerie Curtin took the Jane Fonda role of Judy Bernly. In the truncated third season, Curtin's Judy Bernly was replaced with Leah Ayres as secretary Linda Bowman. In the second version of the show, Sally Struthers replaced Moreno, and Curtin returned as Judy. A total of 85 episodes were filmed. The first season was on film in front of a studio audience but switched to videotape for the next season. While the first two seasons had the same opening clips, the remaining three seasons had noticeable differences between them.

ABC run

Seasons 1–2
The first two seasons' opening credits featured clips from the 1980 movie trailer, of various office duties being performed.

Cast changes were constant early on, as the show tried to find the right ensemble combination. Jeffrey Tambor was the original Franklin Hart (Dabney Coleman's character from the film) during the spring 1982 run, but that fall Peter Bonerz replaced him in that role. He would remain throughout the rest of 9 to 5'''s ABC run. In another key element straight from the movie, resident flunky to Mr. Hart, office snoop Roz Keith (portrayed in the original film by Elizabeth Wilson), was played by British actress Jean Marsh (of Upstairs, Downstairs fame). Roz was responsible for digging up the personal dirt on the secretaries and to help Hart scheme his way to the very top.

Season 2 also saw the addition of Herb Edelman as fatherly salesman Harry Nussbaum, who became an ally to Violet, Judy and Doralee in their schemes against Mr. Hart. Another co-worker, Clair (Ann Weldon), became a regular. The sitcom proved to be very popular, ranking at #15 for its first season.

Season 3
Jane Fonda, who also developed the film version, acted as executive producer during the show's first two seasons. However, she disassociated herself after a dispute over the direction of the show. Her co-producer Bruce Gilbert went with her. Prior to the start of Season 3, veteran TV actor and producer James Komack stepped in to helm the show in their stead. His vision for the show included many changes, which tried to add a new angle without taking the premise away from the original movie and TV format.

The Fonda character of Judy Bernly, portrayed by Valerie Curtin, was written out for the purposes of replacing her with a younger, 20-something secretary, Linda Bowman (Leah Ayres). She instantly became friends with Violet and Doralee, so much that she subsequently became a roommate of theirs in Violet's apartment. Also inhabiting this living arrangement was Violet's 12-year-old son Tommy (played by Tony La Torre, in between his stints on CBS' oft-cancelled Cagney & Lacey). Salesman Nussbaum was also replaced, by Michael Henderson (George Deloy), and Komack also dropped office snoop Roz. Additionally, the company setting changed from Consolidated Companies to American House.

The revamp caused an instant decline in the ratings, falling to 75th out of 76 shows, and the series was cancelled five episodes into the new season. As ABC decided to pull the plug on 9 to 5 just a month into the season, only five episodes were broadcast in the 1983–84 season, with two episodes remaining unaired.

Episodes

ABC ratings

First-run syndication
New episodes of 9 to 5 surfaced in first-run syndication in Fall 1986. Valerie Curtin was back as Judy Bernly as was Rachel Dennison. Assuming the starring role, in place of the unavailable Rita Moreno, was Sally Struthers as slightly naive single mother Marsha McMurray Shrimpton, who added fresh perspective to the group. For the second time in the TV series, the company that the lead characters worked for changed again, this time to Barkley Foods International.

In the syndicated version, Franklin Hart was history; the girls' superiors were ladies' man Russ Merman (Peter Evans), Bud Coleman (Edward Winter), and Marsha's boss in the 1986-87 season, Sharmin Cunningham (Dorian Lopinto). The following season, Vice President of Sales E. Nelson Felb (Fred Applegate) became Marsha's boss. Also featured were James (James Martinez), the maintenance man of the Barkley Foods building, and Morgan (Art Evans), the Jamaican-accented mailroom clerk who added to the office camaraderie.

The syndication arm of 20th Century Fox Television sold the series to stations across the United States, including those owned by then-corporate sibling Fox Television Stations. 9 to 5'' also aired on WTBS in Atlanta, whose then-status as a cable superstation made the series available to a national audience.

Cast
The cast underwent near-constant turnover, with only Rachel Dennison appearing throughout the show's run.

The leading characters:
 Rita Moreno as Violet Newstead (Seasons 1, 2, 3)
 Rachel Dennison as Doralee Rhodes Brooks
 Valerie Curtin as Judy Bernly (Seasons 1, 2, 4, 5)
 Leah Ayres as Linda Bowman (Season 3)
 Sally Struthers as Marsha McMurray Shrimpton (Seasons 4, 5)

Their boss:
 Jeffrey Tambor as Franklin Hart (Season 1)
 Peter Bonerz as Franklin Hart (Seasons 2, 3)
 Dorian Lopinto as Charmin Cunningham (Season 4)
 Fred Applegate as E. Nelson Felb (Season 5)

Their co-workers:
 Jean Marsh as Roz Keith (Seasons 1, 2)
 Herb Edelman as Harry Nussbaum (Season 2)
 Ann Weldon as Clair (Seasons 2, 3)
 George Deloy as Michael Henderson (Season 3)
 Edward Winter as William 'Bud' Coleman (Seasons 4, 5)
 Art Evans as Morgan (Seasons 4, 5)
 Peter Evans as Russ Merman (Seasons 4, 5)
 James Martinez as James (Seasons 4, 5)

Their family:
 Tony La Torre as Tommy (Season 3)

Theme music
The hit title song from the movie, "9 to 5", written and performed by Dolly Parton, was used as the theme song for the TV series. However, during the first season run in spring 1982, Phoebe Snow performed the vocals. Starting with Season 2 and through the end of the show's syndication run in 1988, Parton's vocals were featured in the theme.

Differences between the film and TV series
Several other plot changes were present in the TV series that were not featured in the film. For instance, the film shows aspects of Violet's life as a widow supporting four children, the most visible of whom is Tommy. While this carried over to the television series, only her son Josh was featured. Also, due to the casting of Rita Moreno, Violet's maiden name was changed to Fernandez in the television series, and her characterization was changed to a fiery Latina woman. While the film portrayed Franklin Hart as a womanizing, despotic tyrant, he is instead portrayed as bumbling and incompetent in the television series. In the film, Doralee's husband's name was Duane, while in the television version, the character was initially single, and, in later seasons, married a man named Curtis.

It's natural for anyone to wish to have his own garden when he sees gardening magazines and websites, and photos of the home gardens of the rich and famous.
However, before you start buying plants, seeds and pots haphazardly, you'll be better off by having a plan. And the best idea is to plan a theme of your garden.
Once you choose a theme, it will help you as a guide regarding which plants to choose, what ornamental elements to add and what other features to have to make the most of your theme.
Once you start looking for themes, you'll be amazed to see so many of them. But you can take help of someone that offers skillful gardening services Maroubra like Amico to choose the best gardening theme suited to you.
Here are some of the most common gardening themes for you to have an idea.
Mediterranean theme of gardens is very popular and is commonly found in countries like Italy, Spain and France.
Trees in this type of garden are olive, rosemary, lavender and a variety of vines and shrubs. You have to plant them around flower beds and pathways, filled with gravel.
If the area in which you live has cold climate, you will have to protect these plants, particularly during cold months.
If you want to have a Japanese style garden, you'll have to use a combination of plants, gravel, rocks and water to give rise to miniature versions of nature-inspired settings.
Ideally, you should utilise simple yet clean lines to develop serene areas for meditation.
However, it should be remembered that while popularity of Japanese style of gardens is growing in several parts of the world, Zen garden may not suit most modern homes.
Tropical theme of gardens is recognised with the use of plants with big leaves and flowers with bright colours. You can use thick foliage and often use planting beds to create a dense tropical atmosphere.
Chinese garden theme is more or less similar to Japanese garden and makes use of stones, water and plants.
Chinese gardens also include architectural elements such as teahouses and pavilions to provide your place a reflection, refreshments and conversation.
You can plant a variety of plants in your Chinese garden including bonsai plants, aquatic plants, perennials and annuals. But keep in mind to plant bamboo which is an essential part of a Chinese garden.
If you live in an arid zone, you may want to have a desert garden theme, which is a right policy because gardeners should work with their environment instead of going against it.
Desert soils are usually highly alkaline i.e. their pH is around 8 or higher. Most plants flourish in pH levels of 6 to 6.5 which means that plant choices for desert soils are limited.
The best thing to do is to choose native plants which are adapted to the weather, soil and arid conditions of the desert zone.
If you live in a coastal area, coastal theme of garden may suit you the most. For this theme you have to choose your plants carefully, because not many plants can survive in salt air.
If you don't live along the coast but still would like to have a coastal garden, you can create a coastal environment and enjoy being near the sea.
Examples of plants thriving in a coastal environment are Cliff Bottlebrush, Dwarf Bottlebrush, Trailing Lantana, Evergreen Frangipani and Variegated Blue Daisy.

View Full Version : A second ancient Canary Islander added to YFULL.
A second ancient Guanche sample has been added to the YFULL tree -by the E-M81 project administrator- with an estimated age of 1650 ybp, and the sample turned out on the Senhaji clade E-FT76699 which is shared by 3 other Moroccans from the Senhaja tribe south of Morocco and one English person. It is safe to say based upon the current information that the guanches indeed came from Southern Morocco.

I agree with you but I think it's going to take some time to conclusively prove that this particular line jumped from southern Morocco directly to the Canary islands. The problem is that it may have travelled to the Iberian peninsula during the Islamic period and then down to Canary islands with the conquistadores. In fact there may be more penisular spaniards under that branch that actual Guanches (in absolute numbers).
This sample in particular is older than Islamic period as he lived more than 1400 years ago, it's also one of the oldest Guanche sample which is sequenced.
" Two individuals from Tenerife (gun001 and gun012) and one from Gran Canaria (gun013) carried the U6b1a haplotype, which is hypothesized to be endemic to and a founder lineage of the Canary Islands (Tables 1 and S1) [15]."

Also this picture illustrates where the 3 matches of this sample come from in Morocco, which is very close to the Canary Islands:

OR MAURITANIA , at that time all that areas were tribal feuds and the name was tribes of atlas
The autosomalic profile of the guanches matches best with North Moroccans, Central Moroccans and Soussis in particular.

Dear Tibussio,
Where did you test your Y-DNA? Was it FTDNA?
Mauritanian E-M34 is interesting.

Baring PE looks to raise $600-million debt
The debt facility, said to be a leveraged buyout financing instrument, where a part of the business being acquired too is often used as security, may be a five-year maturity loan, people with direct knowledge of the matter told ET.

Baring Private Equity (Asia) is in talks with a group of lenders to raise as much as $600 million (about Rs 4,450 crore) through an offshore loan to part fund its acquisition of healthcare business outsourcing operations of Hinduja Global, the IT services arm of the Hinduja Group.
"They are in talks with at least a dozen bankers. First round of proposals were submitted last Friday," said one of the people.
Some of the banks Baring Asia is talking to include Barclays, BNP, ING, Investec, Standard Chartered, HSBC, Citi, Deutsche and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp, the people said.
Another round of negotiations would begin this week before final terms are finalised, they said.
The loan is expected to be priced after adding 475-500 basis points over the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a global gauge.
Baring Asia did not respond to an email seeking comment until press time Sunday. The banks could not be contacted immediately.
Last week, Baring Asia signed a definitive agreement to acquire the healthcare services vertical of Hinduja Global Solutions at an enterprise value of Rs 9,000 crore.
If successful, this would be the second large leveraged debt facility being arranged within a span of one month to fund an acquisition in India, after the fundraising for the Mphasis deal.
"The proceeds will be transferred to a holding company before paying for the acquisition," said another executive. The fundraising is anticipated to have a threshold limit, which should not be five times higher than the operating profit of the acquiring company.
The contract for fundraising is expected to incorporate a clause for replacing the benchmark gauge, as the LIBOR is nearing the end of its shelf life. It will be replaced starting next year.
Leveraged acquisition is on the rise in India as private equity funds are increasingly adopting a method of acquisition financing against the balance sheet of the target entity. Last month, Blackstone and its co-investors including Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, GIC and University of California Investments raised $1.1 billion to finance their $2 billion acquisition of Mphasis.
Amid underlying uncertainties, deal activity in India saw a healthy 3% increase in volumes at 1,301 deals in 2020, with 29% growth in value at over $77.7 billion compared with 2019, according to data compiled by Grant Thornton.
