RHTLaw Taylor Wessing Partner Jonathan Kok quoted in The Straits Times
RHTLaw Taylor Wessing's Intellectual Property & Technology Partner Jonathan Kok was quoted in The Straits Times article titled "VPN tech being reviewed under Copyright Act". The article was first published in The Straits Times on 24 Aug 2016. VPN tech being reviewed under Copyright Act Source: The Straits Times © Singapore Press Holdings Ltd. Date: 24 Aug 2016 Author: Irene Tham The legality of virtual private network (VPN) technology, which allows unauthorised content from overseas to be accessed, is being reviewed. The review is part of over a dozen wide-ranging revisions the Ministry of Law (MinLaw) is suggesting to be made to the Copyright Act, which was last majorly updated in 2004. MinLaw did not recommend an outcome on the use of VPN in the consultation papers released yesterday. But it called for public feedback on whether current rules governing the circumvention of digital locks on copyrighted work need to be updated. These locks restrict access to or use of the content. The Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (Ipos), which had a part in putting together the consultation paper, recognises that there are "some complications" surrounding the use of VPN. "There are some concerns that bypassing geographical blocks could infringe copyright," said Mr Daren Tang, chief executive of Ipos. Nevertheless, Singapore remains a strong supporter of parallel import, which is essentially what VPN allows in the digital world, he added. The law generally does not allow digital locks on copyrighted works to be circumvented. But there are a few exceptions. For instance, tertiary educational institutions can unlock short clips of films to critique them, and libraries are allowed to unlock old software to preserve it in an operational state. The law is silent on the use of VPN technology for accessing blocked content. Consumers in Singapore have been using it to stream content meant for other markets from legitimate video-streaming sites. But there is pressure from content publishers to change that. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which represents more than 1,000 producers and distributors of sound recordings, believes VPN users should not be allowed to circumvent geographical blocks. "This idea of parallel import is based on pricing alone," said Mr Ang Kwee Tiang, its regional director for Asia. "It is effectively a race to the bottom, forcing Singapore to become an importer of content instead of a producer or distributor of content domestically." Experts say it is impossible to outlaw VPN, which also has legitimate uses - for instance, securing corporate access to information over the Web. "But the law can clarify that VPNs cannot be used to access certain types of restricted content," said intellectual property (IP) and technology lawyer Jonathan Kok of RHTLaw Taylor Wessing. IP lawyer Cyril Chua of Robinson LLC said that if the law were to be amended to regulate the source of content, shops selling Android media boxes preloaded with apps for movie streaming could be hit. Other revisions proposed include legalising data collation for data mining even as analytics becomes increasingly important to economic growth, and allowing public schools to reproduce and share content on websites for teaching purposes. The consultation will end on Oct 24. "These reviews will further strengthen our regime and allow it to keep current with technological advances, business needs and societal developments," said Senior Minister of State for Law and Finance Indranee Rajah, speaking at the opening of the fifth annual IPWeek@SG 2016 event at Marina Bay Sands yesterday."IP is not just about law. IP is also about business and innovation."

ASEAN Summit 2016 organised by RHTLaw Taylor Wessing and RHT Academy featured in The Straits Times
ASEAN Summit 2016 organised by RHTLaw Taylor Wessing and RHT Academy featured in The Straits Times article titled "Consensus, centrality and relevance: Asean and the South China Sea". The article was first published in The Straits Times on 6 August 2016. Consensus, centrality and relevance: Asean and the South China Sea This is an excerpt of Ambassador-at-Large Bilahari Kausikan's speech at this week's Asean Summit 2016, organised by RHTLaw Taylor Wessing and RHT Academy. Source: The Straits Times © Singapore Press Holdings Ltd. Date: 6 Aug 2016 Author: Ambassador-at-Large Bilahari Kausikan Is Asean still relevant? This is not just a rhetorical question. Inability to reach consensus on the South China Sea (SCS) has exposed cracks in Asean unity to the glare of public scrutiny. Asean's relevance is being questioned by academic commentators and journalists, by Asean dialogue partners and even - sotto voce - by some Asean member states. Without a minimally credible answer to the question, Asean will be marginalised. Asean will not disappear: Regular meetings of leaders and ministers will still be held with pomp and ceremony; solemn statements will be issued. But will anyone take much notice? As far as the SCS is concerned, this is not to be taken for granted. The SCS is a major international waterway. Vital trade routes pass through it and the skies above the SCS are among the busiest in civil aviation. The SCS occupies a uniquely strategic position connecting the Pacific Ocean with the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf. This is an issue of international concern. If Asean cannot take a position on such a crucial matter in its own region, why should anyone take us seriously? WHY CONSENSUS MATTERS There is no evading the fact that on the SCS, Asean is divided. The media has laid primary responsibility for blocking consensus on Cambodia acting at China's behest. Shortly after the 2012 meeting, Prime Minister Hun Sen said that Cambodia had made a "strategic choice" in China's favour. Phnom Penh has not been shy about its position on the SCS. This year, before the Arbitral Tribunal announced its decision, Beijing had repeatedly and in often hectoring terms warned all Asean members against taking a common position on the award and Prime Minister Hun Sen said twice that Cambodia would not agree to a common Asean position. Cambodia is by no means the only Asean country that has been reluctant to incur China's wrath over the SCS. The unusual forthrightness of Cambodia's leaders in 2012 and after has been a convenient cover for the others inclined to duck. Cambodia was acting within the letter of its rights under the Asean Charter which makes clear that decisions will be made by consensus. Asean's disagreements over the SCS have led to the efficacy and relevance of the consensus principle being questioned. Frustration with the consensus principle is understandable, particularly at a time when the East Asian strategic environment is changing rapidly with the United States and China groping towards a new modus vivendi with each other and other countries in the region. Their competition in the SCS has become something of a proxy for the larger strategic adjustments that are under way. It cannot be denied that decision-making by consensus degrades Asean's ability to act on controversial issues. It is sub-optimal. But alternatives to the consensus principle are only theoretical propositions, advocated by those with no responsibility for where they may lead Asean. We are not the European Union and in any case it is now clear that the EU is not the most edifying of models for Asean to emulate. As an interstate organisation with a very diverse membership with different national interests, in practice Asean can only operate by consensus. Any other mode of decision-making could escalate even minor differences into major splits and risks the organisation breaking up entirely. Decision-making by consensus is a fuse that trips when differences of national interests surge to the point where the system becomes so overloaded that it could be torn apart. Prior to 2012, no matter how fiercely we disagreed, Asean members have been punctilious about reaching consensus. Asean's most basic consensus is a consensus on always having a consensus, even if it is only a consensus of form or on words to maintain a facade of unity. We have managed to do so even on sensitive bilateral disputes between members. A consensus on always having a consensus preserves Asean's fundamental and enduring purpose of ensuring civility and order in relations between its members in a region where this is not to be assumed. This is a crucial function. In South-east Asia, sovereignties are relatively new and often still tender; historical enmities not yet forgotten and the region lies at the intersection of major power interests. Asean is intended to allow the small states of South-east Asia - and the biggest of us is small compared to the major powers - to retain some modicum of autonomy through maintaining cohesion. This is one of Asean's under-appreciated successes: Today there are tensions in the SCS but as a whole South-east Asia is at peace with itself and the world and prospering. This is a situation that would not at all have seemed likely in 1967. If the consensus principle is repeatedly abused, the consequences could be unpredictable, not just for Asean but also for the major powers, including China. A repeat of what happened in 2012 could set Asean on a path to a dangerous destination. CONDUCT AT SEA It is not within Asean's competence to resolve the SCS disputes. In so far as the SCS has become a proxy for US-China competition, Asean is only a secondary player; as much arena as actor. Asean may have only a limited role but, potentially at least, again not an inconsequential role. The key word is "potentially". Here too the evidence is mixed. China has agreed to Singapore's proposal for a Code for Unplanned Encounters at Sea or Cues which is intended to reduce the possibility of accidents pending agreement on a Code of Conduct (COC) for the SCS. A draft declaration on an Asean-China Cues is under discussion by Asean and China. But China only agreed to discuss a Cues for its coast guard and not the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy. This is a serious limitation. China claims substantial swaths of the SCS as Chinese territory since "ancient times" and has relied primarily on its coast guard to enforce its domestic laws in the SCS, for instance on fishing. But PLA Navy patrols and exercises in the SCS and has deployed assets on the artificial islands China has created. Over time, PLA Navy will certainly qualitatively and quantitatively step up its SCS deployments. What this means for Asean and in particular the Asean claimants whose navies are dwarfed by PLA Navy - in fact overshadowed even by the Chinese coast guard - is unclear. The US 7th Fleet is the only real balancer in the SCS. Still even a limited Cues is better than nothing and could supplement the Cues that the US and China have already agreed for the Pacific Ocean, but which China has apparently also complied with in the SCS where the commander of the US Pacific Command recently acknowledged dangerous incidents have been rare. The most potentially consequential Asean proposal on the table is a COC for the SCS. It has been under discussion for several years. Progress has been glacial. To be of real use, a COC must deal with many substantive issues. Only the surface of the substance of a COC has been skimmed so far. A disinterested observer might be forgiven for wondering whether China, or at least PLA Navy, is really interested in a binding COC which would limit the freedom of action of all parties to it, or whether the process of interminably discussing a COC is a means of constraining Asean. But that would be a churlish thought and let me make it clear that I am not a disinterested observer and so do not entertain such thoughts. At the Vientiane meeting, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that negotiations should be fast-tracked and that China wants a framework for a COC by 2017. This can be regarded as recognition that progress on the COC has been unsatisfactory, that the SCS disputes have dented China's reputation and if allowed to get out of hand, could seriously damage relations with Asean. Concluding a COC would be a strong positive signal that any foreign ministry would welcome. But we should not expect miracles. Negotiations over the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) and its implementation guidelines took 20 years to conclude. The issues that a COC must engage are more complex than those in the DOC. ECONOMICS MATTER MORE The SCS issue should be seen in context. It is only one aspect of Asean-China relations. On the whole, Asean-China relations are positive. Sovereignty disputes nevertheless cast deep shadows because how a big country deals with small countries on matters of sovereignty is inevitably taken as an indication of the big country's intentions towards its neighbours. As the SCS is the locus around which US-China and Asean-China relations act and interact on each other in South-east Asia, it receives the most international attention and tends to be over-emphasised. But it is not the only issue or necessarily even the most important issue on either the US-China agenda or Asean's own agenda. Economic integration is in my view of greater long-term geopolitical significance to Asean. The root cause of divisions in Asean on the SCS is changes in the way some members now calculate their national interests. China is looming larger in the economic calculations of every country in East Asia, including formal US allies. The infrastructure and other investments now undertaken within the broad framework of "One Belt, One Road" are binding south-west China and mainland South-east Asia into one economic space. This is to be welcomed on economic grounds but undoubtedly also gives China political influence. Beijing cannot be blamed for exercising its influence. No major power in history has ever forsworn any instrument of influence. Asean members differ widely in their levels of economic development and hence in their economic options. For some, in particular the newer and less developed members, China represents the best - and perhaps only - hope of moving up the value chain. We must try to change their calculations of interests. This is the geopolitical significance of the Asean Economic Community (AEC). The bedrock of Asean's relevance and centrality must be economic. The AEC cannot replace China in the economic calculations of Asean members. An AEC that achieves its goals of a common market and common production platform could, however, broaden options, mitigate China's influence and enhance Asean's attractiveness to other dialogue partners, making it easier for them to continue to believe in Asean's centrality and relevance. It will not be easy. The key issues that must be confronted in the next phase of the Asean economic integration - non-tariff barriers, services and some form of labour mobility - are intrinsically difficult. Economic nationalism is running high in some Asean members. Others are experiencing buyer's remorse over the current level of AEC commitment. Some Asean members are undergoing complicated political changes. It will be difficult. But we must try.

The article was first published in The Straits Times on 4 Aug 2016. askST: Does inheritance property attract Additional Buyers' Stamp Duty? Source: The Straits Times © Singapore Press Holdings Ltd. Date: 4 Aug 2016 Author: Rennie Whang Reader Madam M Lee wrote in to askST to say that she co-owns a property with her husband. Her husband is due to inherit a separate property soon. She asked: "Will the inheritance property attract additional ABSD once the probate is done? "If it attracts additional ABSD as it is my husband's second property, does it help to sell off our first property? What can we do to avoid the additional taxes? "Does owning overseas properties also count towards additional buyer's stamp duties?" Business reporter Rennie Whang found the answer. Assuming the properties are all residential properties in Singapore, the property in question will neither attract Buyer's Stamp Duty nor Additional Buyers' Stamp Duty (ABSD), said Ms Jennifer Chia, executive director and head of corporate real estate at TSMP Law Corporation. But the property has to be inherited in accordance with any of the following conditions: 1. A will which specifically states that the property is to be inherited by the husband; 2. The Intestate Succession Act; or 3. The Administration of Muslim Law Act However, Sellers' Stamp Duty could be payable should the husband wish to transfer the inherited property in the future, depending on how soon he sells it after acquiring, Ms Chia added. Upon inheritance of the property, Mdm Lee's husband will have two properties to his name. Hence, if he subsequently purchases another property without selling off either the first property or the property he inherited, the new property purchased would be considered as his third property, said Ms Sandra Han, partner in the real estate practice at RHTLaw Taylor Wessing. Assuming Mdm Lee's husband is a Singapore Citizen, the ABSD rate of 10 per cent would then kick in for the third property. ABSD is only applicable on residential properties in Singapore, Ms Han added. Overseas properties are not taken into account when calculating the ABSD rate to apply.

Cancer group's mammogram advice: Start later and get fewer | The Daily Gazette
Cancer group's mammogram advice: Start later and get fewer
The American Cancer Society now says women should start mammograms later in life and get fewer of th

The American Cancer Society now says women should start mammograms later in life and get fewer of them, a stance that puts the trusted group closer to an influential government task force's advice.
In new guidelines out Tuesday, the cancer society recommends that most women should begin annual screening for breast cancer at age 45 instead of 40, and switch to every other year at 55. The task force advises screening every other year starting at age 50.
It's not a one-size-fits-all recommendation; both groups say women's preferences for when to be scanned should be considered.
The advice is for women at average risk for breast cancer. Doctors generally recommend more intensive screening for higher-risk women, including those with specific genetic mutations.
"The most important message of all is that a mammogram is the most effective thing that a woman can do to reduce her chance of dying from breast cancer," said Dr. Richard Wender, the cancer society's cancer control chief.
"It's not that mammograms are ineffective in younger women," he said, but at age 40, breast cancer is uncommon and false alarms are more likely. "Therefore, you'd have to do a lot more mammograms to prevent one death," compared to older women, Wender said.
Concern about false alarms contributed to the cancer society's new guidance. These lead to worry and more testing — they mean an initial result was suspicious but that cancer was ruled out by additional scans and sometimes biopsies.
The latest guidelines acknowledge that some younger women are willing to accept that, and that for them starting annual exams at age 40 is fine, as long as they know the risks.
The guidelines were developed by experts who reviewed dozens of studies including research published since 1997 — the year the cancer group recommended yearly mammograms starting at age 40, and since 2003, when it stopped recommending monthly breast self-exams.
The update recommends that women continue getting screened as long as they are in good health and have a life expectancy of at least 10 years. The old guidelines did not include an age limit.
The cancer group also dropped a recommendation for routine physical breast exams by doctors, saying there's no evidence that these save lives.
The Rev. Jennifer Munroe-Nathans, 46, a pastor in Millis, Massachusetts, said she hasn't paid attention to guidelines and started getting annual scans around age 40 on her doctor's advice. Her mother had breast cancer, so have some of her congregants and Munroe-Nathans said she has no plans to change course when she gets older.
"For my own peace of mind I intend to continue yearly mammograms," she said. "I've seen the impact of breast cancer — perhaps that makes me a little more hyper-vigilant."
The society's updated guidelines say switching to every other year at age 55 makes sense because tumors in women after menopause tend to grow more slowly. Also, older women's breasts are usually less dense so cancer is more visible on mammograms, said Dr. Kevin Oeffinger, chairman of the society's breast cancer guideline panel and director of the cancer survivorship center at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
The guidelines were published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
More than 200,000 women in the U.S. each year are diagnosed with breast cancer and about 40,000 die from the disease. Overall, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with the disease at some point and chances increase with age.
Oeffinger said women need to be familiar with their breasts and aware of any changes, which should be evaluated by their doctors.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, whose guidelines have historically influenced Medicare coverage, made waves in 2009 when it recommended mammograms every other year starting at age 50, to age 74. In draft recommendations released earlier this year, the group said mammograms for women in their 40s should be an individual decision based on preferences and health history, and that more research is needed to determine potential benefits or harms for scans for women aged 75 and older.
That panel also questioned the value of breast exams by doctors, citing a lack of evidence for any benefit or harm. It will examine the cancer society's evidence review in finalizing its update, said Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, the task force's vice chair and a professor at the University of California, San Francisco.
Most health plans are required to cover screening mammograms free of charge as part of preventive care mandated by the Affordable Care Act, and many insurers cover the screenings starting at age 40.
Several doctor groups still recommend mammograms starting at age 40, including those representing radiologists and gynecologists, but the American Cancer Society's breast cancer guidelines are the most widely followed, said Dr. Kenneth Lin, a family medicine physician at Georgetown University School of Medicine.
Lin said he supports the new guidance but that it will make his job more challenging at first, trying to explain to patients the changes and differences with other groups. Lin said he — and probably many other doctors — will likely continue doing physical breast exams, out of habit and because they consider the exams to be an important part of doctor-patient interactions.

Sacred History, Selected from the Scriptures: With Annotations and ..., Band 4
herausgegeben von Mrs. Trimmer (Sarah)
probable, that Cyrus, when he saw in his journey' into Syria so large a country as Judea lying waste and desolate, was moved with a desire to people it, and thought none so proper as its former inhabitants. •'
As soon as Gyrus had issued his decree, we find numbers of Jews assembled; their chief leaders wereZerubbabel the son of Salathiel, the son of Jeholachin king of .Judah, and Jeshua the son of Jozadek the high-priest. Not only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, but remnants of the ten tribes who had been carried away by 'Tiglath-Pileser, Shalmanesar, and Essarfraddon, still re. tained the worship of God; these, therefore, gladly took advantage of Cyrus's decree, for it extended not to JxfDAH only, hut to all the house of'israel.
SECTION LXII.
CONCLUSION OF THE REIGN OP CYRUS THE FOUNDATION OF THE IEMP1E LAID• AT JERUSALEM.
From Ezra, Chap* iii.
And when the seventh month was come, and th« • children of Israel were in the cities, the'people gathered themselves together as one man ttf Jeruaalem.
Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadek, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man. of God.
; And they set the altar upon his bases; (for fear was . upon them because of the people of those, countries:) ind they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the Loltn, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the- daily burat-offerings by number, i' r'- - • :ii . according. according to the custom, as the duty of every day required: • • And afterward offered the continual hurnt-offering, both of the new moons and of all the set feasts of the Lord, that were consecrated; and of every one that willingly offered a 'free-will offering unto the Lord.
From.the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the Lord. But the foundation .of the temple of the Lord was not yet laid.
They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters ; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Sidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa; according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadek, and the remnant of their brethren, the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upwards, to set forward the .work: of the house of the Lord.
Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God : the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
And when the builders laid the foundation of the Temple of the Lord, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals to praise the Lord, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
And they sung together by course, in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord; because; he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever .towards Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Loxd was laid.:p
But many of the priests and Levites, and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men that had seen the first house, fc'hen the'foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud far jayl ':,••'.. •"•
So ihat the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people : for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

J '•' It required time to collect materials for the building, and engage workmen ; therefore the first year was employed in these necessary preparations; but early in the .second, the foundation of the temple-was ldid, which was done with great solemnity. It is supposed, that during the time that the Temple was building, a Tabernacle was set up, as in the days of David. K' While the Jews were carrying on the work, the Samaritans, who were planted in several cities of Israel in the room.of the Israelites, whom Shalmanezer, king of Assyria, carried away captive, desired to join with them 'inthe work; but neither the governors nor chiefs of the families of Israel would consent, being apprehensive that they. were no better than idolaters, notwithstanding they professed to worship the God of Israel. This refusal exasperated the Samaritans, who did their utmost to obstruct the work ; and though they could not alter the decree of Cyrus, yet, by bribing his ministers, they, in a great measure, defeated its effect; so that for several veral years the building went on but slowly. These disputes gave rise to that enmity which afterwards sub- . sisted between the Jews and the Samaritans. '.
It is supposed, that on this occasion Daniel gave himself up to prayer, and had some of those wonderful visiand which are found-among his prophecies; and it is thought he died soon after. The character of this good man is fully displayed'in the account of his life; -from whence it appears, that he was universally esteemed and renowned for his amiable disposition; that he devoted his heart to God in his youth, and obtained the blessing of the Lord, who, from a captive, made him a princej and distinguished him with his divine favour to the last.
The Jews having lost a powerful advocate in the Persian court, by the death of Daniel, their enemies took advantage of them, and succeeded in some of their designs against them; but as the people were able to work, and had the assistance of the Zidonians in respect to labour and materials, they proceeded, though not with such expedition as they would have done if the decree of the king of Persia had been allowed to have Its full influence.
. la the seventh year after the" restoration of the Jews their great benefactor Cyrus died, having reigned from his first taking on him the command of the Persian and Median armies, thirty years; from his taking of Babylon, nine years: and from being sole monarch of the East after the death of his uncle Darius, seven years: at the time of his death he was seventy years old. It is said of this prince that, when on his death bed, he called his family and friends about him, and expressed his hope of the immortality of the soul*.

SECTION LXIH.
IXTKACTS 3F110M THE BBOPHECY OF DANIEL.
. From Chap. x.
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river which is Hiddekel; then I lift up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet.like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with.me saw not the vssion; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned ia me into corruption. and I retained Tjo strength.

Q: Having trouble with spaces while reading in sentences from separate text file While reading in data from a separate text file, it doesn't keep the spaces and instead looks comes out looking like :
Todayyouareyouerthanyou,thatistruerthantrue

When it should have the spaces and say:
Today you are youer than you, that is truer than true

Here is my code that I have so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
 std::ifstream inFile;
 inFile.open("Rhymes.txt", std::ios::in);
 if (inFile.is_open())
 {
     string word;
     unsigned long wordCount = 0;

     while (!inFile.eo())
     {
        cout << word;
        inFile >> word;
        if (word.length() > 0)
        {
            wordCount++;
        }
     }

     cout << "The file had " << wordCount << " word(s) in it." << endl;
 }

 system("PAUSE");
 return 0;
}

The "Rhymes.txt" has many phrases such as the one above and I'll just add 2 more so it's not a lot on here. Here they are:
Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.
How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!! Also I am a beginner so if this turns out to be something really obvious, sorry!

A: Let's fix the typo: inFile.eo() -> inFile.eof() and include stdlib.h for system(). Now you can put the spaces back by writing cout << word << " ";
But your program seems to be out by 1. Linux wc says 53 words but your program says 54. So I fixed your loop like this:
 while (true)
 {
    inFile >> word;
    if (inFile.eof())
      break;
    if (word.length() > 0)
    {
        wordCount++;
        cout << word << " ";
    }
 }

Now it agrees with wc.

A: How about inserting the spaces back to your output, so instead of this
cout << word;

You put this:
cout << word << " ";

Another option would be to read whole lines from your input file and then split them to words.

A: Issues that I see:

*

*You are writing out word before the first read.

*Reading the words using inFile >> word skips the white spaces. You need to add code to write the white spaces.

*I am not sure what you were thinking with the following block of code. But, it is not necessary.
if (word.length() > 0)
{
    wordCount++;
}

You can simplify your while loop to:
 while (inFile >> word)
 {
    cout << word << " ";
    wordCount++;
 }

This will print an extra white space at the end. If that is objectionable, you can add more logic to fix that.

Grading the Lions – Michigan State
by Adam Kimmel | Oct 14, 2018
With one more 4th quarter collapse in the 2018 edition of the Penn State-Michigan State series, it seems the entire outlook of the Nittany Lions' season has changed. What many had written off as a meltdown against a good Ohio State team is now looked at as a part of familiar, uncomfortable trend over the team's last five losses (dating back to the USC Rose Bowl). The Lions looked poised to possibly back into the CFP as a one-loss team without a conference title. Now, it appears the team is headed for an Outback Bowl bid amidst a crowd of mediocre teams in the middle of the conference standings. They've lost 2 home games in a row, after not losing in Beaver Stadium since 2015. Penn State has now lost 5 of the last 6 against MSU, as well. Below are the grades for the disappointing result against the Spartans.
In the season preview, I predicted that the Spartans offense couldn't score enough points to win this game. To this point in the season, that was still the case, as the offense carried the team to very nearly an undefeated record. The defense played well against a Michigan State offense that hasn't played as well as expected, holding underachieving Spartan QB Brian Lewerke to a paltry QBR of 22.7 and not allowing a 100-yard rusher. But Penn State's defense failed to make critical, game-sealing plays when they needed to. Dropped interceptions by CB Amani Oruwariye and S Garrett Taylor would have clinched the game despite a sluggish Lion offense, but this was a game of failed execution (same as last year). Oruwariye, typically the best defender in the secondary, had an especially rough game, as he was burned for the winning touchdown from Lewerke to Felton Davis in the game's final minute.
Defensive Game Ball: S Garrett Taylor
Taylor was able to squeeze one interception in the first half (returned for 37 yards to flip the field), led the team in tackles and broke up the fake field goal that nearly put the Spartans in position for a go-ahead TD earlier in the 4th quarter.
True freshman kicker Jake Pinegar may have played himself out of a job as James Franklin said the kicking situation will be "revisited" after the MSU loss.
This grade is mostly for K Jake Pinegar, now a definitive liability. He missed a makeable field goal and barely made an extra-point-length one in the fourth. He's 3 for 7 on the year, and the coaches have to have lost confidence in giving him a shot with the game on the line after a regression as the season has progressed. The return game didn't yield much, and P Blake Gillikin, in a game where field position could really have helped an off game by the offense, failed to pin Michigan State inside its 20.
Special Teams Game Ball: KR KJ Hamler
Hamler had a 24-yard kick return and fielded a punt.
Right or wrong, the team only goes as far as its QB takes it. Trace McSorley has had a great season to this point, but has his worst game as a Nittany Lion against the Michigan State. 19-32 for 196 yards, a lost fumble, and a QBR of 20.9 are numbers that describe the primary reason the Lions came up short against the Spartans. He also went out of bounds on a third-down run on Penn State's last real possession, saving Michigan State a timeout while failing to get the first down. He has to know better than that in that situation. RB Miles Sanders had a good game, with a 78-yard run and an incredible 45-yard TD run to pace the Nittany Lion offense. WR KJ Hamler led the team with 66 yards and a TD, but perhaps the biggest reason McSorley struggled was the play of WR Juwan Johnson. With the offense raided by the NFL draft last April, Johnson needed to step up this year to fill the void. He simply hasn't done it, with a smattering of nice catches woven into an inconsistent and underachieving season. Dropped passes have forced McSorley to question how reliable an option he is, and Hamler (while having a breakout year) does not afford McSorley the jump-ball option Godwin and Gesicki did the past two years.
Offensive Game Ball: RB Miles Sanders
Without his two long runs, the offensive production would be downright alarming.
The team was not as up for this game as Michigan State was, and lost the chess match of halftime adjustments [again] to a superior coach, with only 3 second-half points. The loss was more a function of execution, with dropped interceptions and misfired throws throughout the game. James Franklin is becoming known for an inability to win close games against good teams, with only [still] the 2016 win against Ohio State standing alone in a sea in oh-what-could-have-been 4th quarter collapses. It feels like Franklin is getting nervous about the continued pattern of late-game failures, and worse it doesn't appear the coaching staff knows what to do about it.
An uncharacteristically off day for both Quarterback Trace McSorley and Head Coach James Franklin spelled disaster for Penn State against the Michigan State Spartans for the second year in a row.
But while the players on this year's team are young, the coaches too are finding their way against the elite minds of the game. With each passing year, the Lions will have a higher percentage of blue-chip recruits on their roster, and the coaches will need to continue to study, work, and plan how to maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of the current team's players. It is important to remember that the standard to which they are held is impossibly high, and they are way ahead of schedule. Perhaps before Penn State is able to reload each and every year, we as fans will have to settle for the occasional 3- or 4- loss Outback Bowl year. The team can only afford to lose 1 more game before a New Year's Day game comes into question, so the players executing the plays has become even more important.

Turning Mozambique into a mafia, resource curse state
Hanlon, Joseph (2021). Turning Mozambique into a mafia, resource curse state. The Round Table: The Commonwealth Journal of International Affairs, 110(3) pp. 405–406.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/00358533.2021.1932949
Gas, rubies and other minerals have proved a curse for most Mozambicans. Poverty and inequality have increased. Despite its resource wealth, Mozambique remains one of the poorest countries in the world, falling ever lower on the Human Development Index. But an elite has become wealthy. There is now a civil war in Cabo Delgado province, which has the gas and rubies - and also the worst poverty.

*mix with hands. the only way to do it.
-One onion, cut in half and sliced. Saute in olive oil with s&p and a sprinkle of sugar until tender and light brown.
-add ~1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar and ~1/4 cup of a jam or preserve (I used red pepper jelly leftover from Christmas but apricot, peach, even a berry would be great too) Allow the liquids to reduce until almost sticky.
**When I grew up we always had meatloaf with mashed potatoes and broccoli so we could make leafy, snowy landscapes out of our plate. So I thought some polenta and long stemmed roasted broccoli would be a good Italian substitute. If broccolini is on sale, that would be even better.
cool to know about the grating of the onion tip. so now i won't have to get out my chef's knife and chop furiously! yay! recipe sounds awesome!
As long as you have a good hand-held grater, (mine is more like a wide microplane) then grating onions and garlic is really easy. But grating an onion is especially good when you're eating it raw in a dish and don't want to bite down on a piece of the strong flavored onion.


Mamadsharif Hotamov, villager of Shohon (Shuroabad district, Hatlon region of Tajikistan), was kidnapped at 23.00 on September 25. A group of armed people broke into Hotamov's house and took him away.
Unfortunately, episodes like that are commonplace occurrences in the border districts of Tajikistan - and have been commonplace for at least a decade.
Here is a brief account of similar episodes compiled by journalists.
Hudoikul Talbakov and Husniddin Kadam (juvenile) of the kishlak of Jilga (Shuroabad district) were kidnapped on November 11, 2006.
Kamchin Jurahonov was similarly kidnapped on December 14.
Talbakov and Kadam were released on December 22. The authorities claim that no ransom was paid.
Jurahonov was released on January 22, 2007 - again, for allegedly no ransom.
Criminal charges against Ashurboi waladi Sultonahmed, Karimi Yahmiston, and other members of the same Afghani gang operating on the territory of Tajikistan, were pressed on January 8, 2007.
Twelve Afghani dope dealers seized Muhammad Yusupov, 25, and Husrav Emomov, 16, on the night on July 17, 2007. Yusupov of the kishlak of Sebandi and Emomov of the kishlak of Fartangi were taken to Afghanistan. Law enforcement agencies said Yusupov and Emomov had paid their partners fake US dollars and thus elicited their wrath.
A special team of border guards, Interior Ministry, and Security Ministry was set up to handle the crisis. It took the team a week of negotiations to negotiate the hostages' release.
Hostages are regularly taken in the Hamadoni district too.
One Abdurasuli Jumahon (juvenile) and Rustam Muslimov were kidnapped in the settlement of Margob on January 7. They were released following lengthy negotiations only in late August.
Tajik secret services and law enforcement agencies claim that up to 25 hostages from Tajikistan must be kept on the Afghani territory at this point. The locals say that the actual figure is considerably higher. Cattle is regularly stolen from the Tajiks, and even crops are stolen by the Afghani from the territory of Tajikistan.
As a matter of fact, the situation on the Tajik-Afghani border was essentially the same when the Russian border guards manned it years ago. Even the same figure - 25 hostages - was usually given.
Is it that someone finds tension on the Tajik-Afghani border convenient for his purposes?

Wake Your Face with Prime Magic by W7
So it's Monday morning and if you're anything like me, your skin feels tired and doesn't want to be covered in foundation and concealer at 6:30am!
I'm the kind of person who hates catching early flights and early starts - not because of the lack of sleep and the dark sky but because I hate the thought of feeling makeup brushes against my skin so early!
If you are anything like me then listen up!
I have finally found the product which makes this process far more bearable.
The Prime Magic range from W7 isn't the newest of the bunch but it's most definitely still got a spring in its step.
I have always been rather boring when it comes to primers and other liquid makeup (sticking to what I know and staying in my comfort zone) but when you have such a range like we do at W7 it's hard to say no.
As someone with skin that doesn't tend to suffer from dullness and blemishes, I opt for the Prime Magic Face Primer in Clear. Out of the three, it's the most appropriate for my skin. The Prime Magic range also features an Anti-Dullness formula and an Anti-Redness formula. Fun for everyone!
So once it's time for the make-up application, I apply Prime Magic all over my face, especially to areas in which I feel my makeup suffers the most later on in the day (T-Zone, under my eyes and around my nose).
The product instantly makes my skin feel like it's had an instant caffeine hit and gives a cooling sensation which makes me feel way more prepared to face the foundation.
For me, applying my foundation is now so much more enjoyable with a base that doesn't feel like it's clinging and suffocating my skin. The texture feels more hydrating on my face which is a nice change to other primers I have used previously which had the complete opposite effect!
Hope you enjoyed this post!
Let us know what you want to see in the future!

Dean Lombardi (* 5. März 1958 in Holyoke, Massachusetts) ist ein US-amerikanischer Eishockey-Funktionär. In der National Hockey League war er als General Manager der San Jose Sharks und der Los Angeles Kings tätig.

Karriere
Lombardi begann seine Karriere zunächst bei den San Jose Sharks in der NHL, die in der Saison 1991/92 als neu gegründetes Franchise den Spielbetrieb aufnahmen. Er assistierte Jack Ferreira bei dessen Ausübung als General Manager des Teams. Nachdem die erste Saison äußerst enttäuschend für das junge Franchise verlief, wurde Ferreira am Ende der Saison entlassen. Zum Start der neuen Saison übernahmen der damalige Trainer George Kingston, Chuck Grillo und Lombardi die Aufgaben des Managements zu je einem Drittel. Durch das Ausscheiden von Kingston nach der Saison 1992/93 und von Grillo nach der Saison 1996/97 übernahm Lombardi das alleinige Amt zum Beginn der Saison 1997/98. Lombardi machte sich in den folgenden sieben Jahren einen Namen als einer der strategischsten General Manager der gesamten Liga. Neben der Verpflichtung von Veteran-Spielern zeigte er erstaunliches Fähigkeiten im Entdecken junger Talente. So gehören Spieler wie Evgeni Nabokov, Marco Sturm, Patrick Marleau, Scott Hannan, Brad Stuart, Jonathan Cheechoo und Vesa Toskala zu seinen Entdeckungen, die er in den Entry Drafts auswählte. Zudem konnte Lombardi namhafte Spieler wie Owen Nolan, Teemu Selänne, Vincent Damphousse und Adam Graves verpflichten, in deren Schatten sich die Talente in aller Ruhe entwickeln konnten. Nach einer schwachen Saison 2002/03 des Teams und einigen umstrittenen Personalentscheidungen musste Lombardi im März 2003, zusammen mit dem damaligen Cheftrainer Darryl Sutter, das Franchise verlassen.

Kurz nach seiner Entlassung verpflichteten ihn die Philadelphia Flyers als Scout für die Western Conference. Diese Position bekleidete der US-Amerikaner bis zum Juni 2006, ehe er von den Los Angeles Kings verpflichtet wurde, wo er fortan die Funktion des Präsidenten und General Managers ausfüllte.

Zudem fungierte Lombardi als General Manager des Team USA beim World Cup of Hockey 2016, bei dem die Mannschaft allerdings bereits in der Gruppenphase ausschied.

Nach über 10 Jahren als General Manager und Präsident der Kings, in denen das Team zwei Stanley Cups gewann, wurde Lombardi nach der Saison 2016/17 samt seinem Cheftrainer Darryl Sutter entlassen. Sein Nachfolger wurde sein bisheriger Assistent Rob Blake.
