04/13/15 - A settlement was reached with Asplundh Tree Expert Co. regarding three employees that were terminated the day before their election to join the Union. These three employees were assisting the Union in giving Asplundh employees a voice while working on Indiana & Michigan Power property. The settlement will require the Company to reinstate all three employees and giving each of them a settlement payment.
The three employees were terminated by Asplundh for doing side work while off the clock. They were working within the guidelines of Asplundh's own Employee Handbook regarding side work. Why would Asplundh terminate three employees for doing exactly what is allowed according to their employee handbook?
They each assisted in interpreting and discussing with their coworkers the benefits of joining the Union. We saw this as an intimidation tactic by Asplundh against their employees to keep them from having a voice in their workplace. Employees are protected under certain sections of United States law from employer intimidation when the employees are working towards joining or forming a Union.
We took immediate action to assist these men that were terminated by Asplundh. We went to the National Labor Relations Board and filed what is called an Unfair Labor Practice charge with the Union's Labor Attorney when we believed that the company is acting illegally during an organizing effort. This is simply one of our tools that we can use to assist future Members who have been are on the receiving end of actions by a company that doesn't have its employees' best interests in mind. In this case, Asplundh decided to enter into settlement discussions with the Union in exchange for dropping the charges. This is a great victory for Asplundh employees, and a fantastic example of how Union Membership can make a difference for employees.

New Indian Privacy Rules Could Force The Hand Of Many U.S. Retailers
Jun 23, 2011 8:41pm
Attorney Mark D. Rasch is the former head of the U.S. Justice Department's computer crime unit and today serves as Director of Cybersecurity and Privacy Consulting at CSC in Virginia.
New data security regulations in India may make retailers think twice about outsourcing functions that involve consumer information to the subcontinent. The new government rules, which took effect in April, could impact virtually all retailer IT operations if anything is located in India.
How strict are these new rules? They require rapid notification of data breaches—but the rules also require getting express written consent from customers for using their data; getting consent if you want to have third-parties handle the data; providing consumers with contact information about every party who has access to their data; and allowing consumers to have their data purged from all your systems.
For those retail execs thinking, "This isn't such a big deal. This only impacts our call center, because that is all we operate in India," think again. The rules are an example of what the legal community calls the fruit of the poisonous tree. Under this scenario, the rule wouldn't solely impact call center operations. If the information collected from a call center was used anywhere else in the chain—such as if any of that call center data was stored in CRM files or it was used, directly or indirectly, to help in-store, E-Commerce, M-Commerce, supply chain or any other part of the chain—then those divisions would also be subject to the same stringent Indian rules.
The rules also call for any privacy breach to be subject to whatever law is most strict. Usually that will mean the Indian law. However, if—for example—California has even tougher requirements and a retailer is subject to California law but also has an outsourced call center or data center in Mumbai, Indian courts will use the more stringent state requirements.
For most retailers, that could require serious second thoughts about outsourcing to India. Let's face it, retailers typically outsource to foreign countries because they want to save money. This savings can result from lower labor costs, lower insurance or real estate costs, lower manufacturing costs and lower overhead of compliance costs—and usually a lighter regulatory environment.
However, a rash of highly publicized break-ins and thefts of personal information has apparently led the Indian government to decide that the best way to promote India as a haven for data centers, call centers and other outsourced data processing is not to lower privacy and security regulations but to raise them. "Look," the government seems to be saying, "your customer data will be secure here, and our data centers must protect it."
So what previously was the subject of contractual wrangling between companies and their outsourcers now has whatever "teeth" are added by the threat of government enforcement—all in the name of promoting business.The new rules, like many European and Asian data privacy laws, require any entity that "collects, receives, possesses, stores, deals or handles" personal information to create and provide to the data subjects a privacy policy that clearly sets out its practices and policies on the use of that information and how the subjects' privacy will be protected. The policy must identify any "sensitive personal data" collected or processed, explain the purposes for which the data is collected and used, and provide "reasonable" security practices and procedures.
The new regulations also effectively recommend the rather stringent ISO 27001 information security standard, as long as compliance with that standard (or an approved industry code of practice) is certified or audited annually.
But several things set the Indian law apart from most European laws, which may impact a retailer's decision about whether to outsource data processing to an Indian company. These include:
The ISO standards
Although Indian law does not technically require companies that collect, store or process personal data to comply with the ISO 27001 security standard, it is the only standard expressly mentioned as being acceptable. It is perhaps the most comprehensive standard for data security in the general commercial world, and it provides detailed procedures for all aspects of data security. Most data privacy laws simply say things like "provide reasonable security considering the size and complexity of the organization and the sensitivity of the information collected." The new Indian rules seem to go much further.
Express written consent
Indian law now requires both companies that collect and companies that store or process certain personal information to obtain express written consent from the data subject—the customer—for such collection and processing. It is not clear whether a simple warning banner or click-through agreement will meet this standard.
The statute provides that collectors and processors "shall obtain consent in writing through letter or fax or E-mail from the provider of the sensitive personal data or information regarding purpose of usage before collection of such information." Sensitive personal information is defined as including things like passwords, bank account and credit-card numbers, medical records, records of sexual orientation and biometric data.
Customers have the right to withdraw consent for both the use and the processing of their sensitive personal information at any time. As a consequence, both the data collector and all of its processors must have mechanisms in place to purge sensitive personal information from their systems, to track requests for removal of information and to validate that removal from not only all of their systems but their business associates' systems.
Consent for re-processing
With some limits, consumers also have to consent to any third-party access to their sensitive personal information.
If information is shared by the retailer or its agents (including sharing to the agents), customers must be given contact information about every party who has access to their information.
This is a huge deal.This is a huge deal. Consider, for example, the recent Epsilon data breach that exposed millions of E-mail addresses. Most customers whose data was breached had never heard of the company Epsilon and had no idea that the information they shared with, say, Disney Resorts or Marriott was being shared with Epsilon and, therefore, that their data security was dependent upon the security practices of Epsilon and all of Epsilon's agents (Epsilon's ISP, its contractors and consultants, etc.).
Now imagine the burden of telling every consumer the names and contact information of every data storage or processing entity with access to consumer information and re-notifying them if you or any of them decide to change storage or processing companies. Kinda makes you want to stop collecting unnecessary data, which may be the point.
Piling on
The Indian regulations expressly require companies to apply whatever is the most stringent law that applies to them. Thus, if a company collects data in Massachusetts and offshores the data to Mumbai, then both Massachusetts and Indian law apply.
Push-down good citizenship
Unlike other data privacy laws, under Indian law it is not sufficient for data collectors and processors to have fair information collection, sharing and protection policies. The law requires both collectors and processors (including ISPs) to have written policies on things like sharing data that users don't own (electronic theft), harassment, blasphemy, defamation, obscenity, pornography, libel, hateful and racially or ethnically disparaging information, and information relating to money laundering or gambling or that is otherwise unlawful.
Processors must also agree not to host, display, upload, modify, publish, transmit, update or share any information that harms minors in any way, infringes others' intellectual property rights, impersonates others or spoofs the origin or destination of messages.
Finally, these companies must have policies that prohibit any action that "threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with foreign states, or public order or causes incitement to the commission of any cognisable offence or prevents investigation of any offence or is insulting any other nation." Pretty heady stuff for just collecting a consumer's preference in the color of Legos.
Termination and control over intermediaries
Indian law also requires outsourcing companies to have a host of requirements with respect to ISPs and intermediaries (by contract) requiring termination of contracts under certain circumstances, to work within 36 hours to prevent a data breach, to retain records related to data breaches for at least 90 days, to inform customers if it has failed to comply with the law or with its own privacy policy, and to terminate access to those who have not complied with the privacy policy. The law requires notification of cybersecurity incidents to the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team.
All told, the Indian rules represent a fundamental shift in philosophy. Indeed, in many ways the new regulations are more stringent than the laws under which the personal data is collected. Indian outsourcing companies will initially have to scramble to create and enforce policies that comply with the new laws, and lawyers in India and abroad will have to write new contracts, new policies and new consent forms for data subjects.
Now, I wonder if we can outsource this legal work?
If you disagree with me, I'll see you in court, buddy. If you agree with me, however, I would love to hear from you.

Cast aside once in Philadelphia - Pernell McPhee Jersey

Honigweide
Cast aside once in Philadelphia Nick Foles delivered the city its first Super Bowl title.
He outdueled the great Tom Brady to do it.
"Being a part of this and being drafted to Philadelphia, and being fortunate enough to come back and be a part of this team, to be a piece of this puzzle, I mean, it's been a long time coming and I know there's going to be a lot of celebrating tonight," Foles said.
Foles, who took over when Carson Wentz injured his right knee in mid-December, matched Brady, the five-time champion and three-time MVP, big play for big play Sunday in leading the Eagles past the New England Patriots 41-33 .
After an unusually slow start, Brady led the favored Patriots to scores on five of six possessions, and Foles kept right on coming, executing coach Doug Pederson's aggressive calls.
"I wasn't worrying about the scoreboard, I wasn't worrying about the time, I was just playing ball," Foles said. "I think sometimes you start worrying about that too much, it starts creeping in your brain. I was just playing, whatever play Doug called, I was just going to go out there and rip it."
After watching Brady put the Patriots ahead 33-32 with 9:22 left, Foles drove the Eagles 75 yards in 14 plays, hitting tight end Zach Ertz from 11 yards on third-and-7 for the go-ahead TD with 2:21 left.
That drive lasted a tick more than seven minutes and kept Brady cooling his cleats on the sideline while allowing the Eagles' exhausted defenders to catch their collective breath in a game that featured 1151 total yards, the most in any NFL game in the Super Bowl era.
That meant the world when Brady got the ball back and Brandon Graham swept in and jarred the ball loose for the game's lone sack. Derek Barnett smothered it at the 31 with just over two minutes remaining, and Jake Elliott's 46-yard field goal, the longest in a Super Bowl by a rookie, made it an eight-point cushion.
It also gave Brady just a minute to work his magic.
He started at his 9 with 58 seconds remaining and drove the Patriots to midfield before time ran out on New England as a desperation pass fell in the end zone.
Foles searched out Brady, but never did find him in all the chaos and confetti.
"I didn't get to see Tom. I was looking for Tom. It got pretty crazy really fast," Foles said. "I mean, he's one of the greatest of all time. He's been unbelievable. He was unbelievable tonight. I can't say enough about him."
Brady threw for more yards – a playoff career-high 505 to Foles' 373 – but Foles matched Brady's three touchdown tosses and even caught another .
He hauled in tight end Trey Burton's toss from the 1 that gave Philadelphia a 22-12 halftime edge and made him the first player in Super Bowl history to be on both ends of a touchdown pass in the same game.
Brady nearly beat him to it.
Although wide open, the ambling Brady couldn't quite haul in receiver Danny Amendola's high pass for what would have been a nifty over-the-shoulder reception which might have gone all 35 yards for the score.
That brought to mind Gisele Bundchen's famous dig after one of Brady's two losses to Eli Manning and the Giants in the Super Bowl, when his supermodel wife responded to hecklers by complaining about the Patriots' many dropped passes that day.
"You've to catch the ball when you're supposed to catch the ball," she fumed. "My husband cannot … throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time."
Nor could he haul in Amendola's throw early in the second quarter with New England trailing 9-3.
Foles had never caught a pass in the NFL before his TD grab.
His only interception was a fluke, but it did help Brady and the Patriots staunch an early stumble to stay in it until the very end.
Foles was 28 of 43 and wasn't sacked. Brady was 28 of 48, and while he didn't throw any interceptions, his only sack was a doozy.
A third-round pick by former Eagles coach Andy Reid in 2012, Foles had tremendous success as a starter under Chip Kelly his sophomore season. He threw 29 TDs and two picks in 11 starts, including playoffs in 2013. Foles posted a passer rating of 119.2, third-highest in league history. He tied an NFL record with seven TD passes in a game at Oakland in November 2013 and won an offensive MVP award at a Pro Bowl.
But Foles was traded to St. Louis for Sam Bradford in March 2015. He lost his starting job to Case Keenum and asked for his release after Jared Goff was drafted No. 1 overall when the Rams relocated to Los Angeles. Foles even considered hanging up his cleats before Reid persuaded him to go to Kansas City to be Alex Smith's backup.
"As people we deal with struggles and that was a moment in my life where I thought about it, I prayed about it," Foles said of quitting. "And I'm grateful that I made a decision to come back and play."
So is Philadelphia, where Foles returned after one season with the Chiefs, $12 million deal to provide insurance behind Wentz.
Now he's a folk hero for a franchise that had gone 0 for 2 in Super Bowls, and for a legion of fans who were rooting for anybody other than the Patriots.
"Just to be in this moment," Foles said, shaking his head. "Unbelievable."
St. Louis pitcher Luke Weaver flirted with perfection, had to overcome a little frustration, and settled for domination.
The Cardinals' offense was pretty good, too.
Weaver pitched two-hit ball over eight innings and St. Louis beat the San Francisco Giants 11-2 on Thursday night.
"He was making quality pitches at the top of the zone, down, changeup, breaking ball," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said "Everything was spot on but he controlled the count with his heater and got a lot of early balls in the air. He was aggressive."
Weaver (5-7) faced two over the minimum and had seven strikeouts. The 24-year-old right-hander carried a perfect game into the sixth inning before giving up a single and Hanson's two-run homer. Weaver then bounced back to retire the final seven batters he faced.
Weaver didn't allow a hit until Gorkys Hernandez reached on an infield single with one out in the sixth. Gyorko made a diving stop on Hernandez's sharp liner near third base but the ball popped out of his right hand as he attempted to throw. Hanson followed with his homer.
"As soon as chopped it and Jedd had to dive, I had a feeling there was not going to be a chance to get him," Weaver said. "It would have had to have been an incredible slide jump-up throw and I still don't think he would have got him. It wasn't a big deal. I was pretty upset about the home run."
Jedd Gyorko had three hits including a home run and drove in five runs to spoil the return of Johnny Cueto after two months on the disabled list. Matt Carpenter and Harrison Bader also went deep while Yadier Molina singled three times.
The Cardinals had a season-high 18 hits – their most since getting 19 against the New York Mets on Aug. 24, 2016.
Alen Hanson homered for San Francisco. The Giants have scored five runs while losing four straight.
Cueto (3-1) was rocked in his long-awaited return from the 60-day disabled list. He gave up four runs in the first inning – one more than he had in 32 innings before going out with right elbow inflammation.
"Everything was fine except in the first inning when I was trying to be too fine," Cueto said. "Instead of just pitching, I was just trying to place the ball in the strike zone. I just have to continue working my way back to where I was."
WHAT'S THE COUNT?
San Francisco's Pablo Sandoval appeared to draw a two-out walk in the fifth and began trotting to first base before being called back after Matheny noticed there were only three balls. Two pitches later, Sandoval struck out to end a 12-pitch at-bat.
"I whistled and had the umpire stop for a second," Matheny said. "At about the same time, the replay called and then they figured it out on the field by the time we needed to come out of the dugout."
BABY BULL RETURNS
Orlando Cepeda attended the game for the first time since suffering cardiac arrest in February that left the Hall of Famer in critical condition. The Baby Bull was in the parking lot of a gym when he fell and hit his head during the incident. The 80-year-old is one of the most popular players in franchise history.
Cardinals: OF Dexter Fowler was reinstated from the paternity list before the game. … Tyler O'Neill was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain. … RHP Matt Bowman (blister) was activated off the DL and optioned to Triple-A Memphis.
Giants: Manager Bruce Bochy said that RHP Jeff Samardzija will have fewer restrictions than Cueto when he returns from the disabled list to start Saturday's game. Samardzija hasn't pitched since May 29 because of shoulder tightness. … INF Kelby Tomlinson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. … RHP Roberto Gomez was released.
John Gant (2-2, 3.48 ERA) pitches for St. Louis on Friday. The right-hander has had mixed success since rejoining the rotation and allowed four runs in 5 1/3 against Atlanta in his most recent start. RHP Dereck Rodriguez (3-1 3.16) starts for San Francisco.

Q: How do I change column widths in a Query embedded within a report In my Access application I have a report which contains a sub-report which is actually just a query.
The query in question is just a pass-through query which just executes a pre-prepared stored procedure.  The query is created dynamically so that I can pass some date parameters from the form which I use to request the report (clicking a button).
When I return the results in SQL Server Management Studio, since the column names are quite narrow and the data is integers in the range 0 to 100, the 8 or 9 columns in this query are quite narrow.
In MS Access, when the query is embedded within a report Access seems to set a column width which means all the columns will not fit on the page, even through the paper is landscape.
Is there anyway I can do something to tell Access to make the column widths narrower?

A: You can set the column widths of query like so:
Sub SetColumnWidth()
Dim qdf1 As DAO.QueryDef
Dim fld1 As DAO.Field

Set qdf1 = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("query3")

For i = 0 To qdf1.Fields.Count - 1
    Set fld1 = qdf1.Fields(i)
    fld1.CreateProperty "ColumnWidth", dbInteger
    'very narrow indeed
    fld1.Properties("ColumnWidth") = 200
    Set fld1 = Nothing
Next i

End Sub

A: The solution that I found which seems the best is to create a form using the form wizard which has the query as its datasource and which displays itself in datasheet view.
When you embed that within the report, the field widths of the datafields in the form can be adjusted to suit in layout mode.

A Japanese company has introduced a mold that easily creates a perfect sphere- no chipping and shaving required. Other mold units in the past used by high end bars cost a few hundred dollars. Now you can make the same ice spheres for a fraction of the cost! If you're wondering what's so great about giant ice balls, just think back to science class. The sizable frozen spheres have larger surface areas, so they melt slower. That means they're able to chill your drink and delay the evil diluting effects of melting long enough for you to enjoy your cocktail. No one likes watered down booze, so do yourself a favor and make the transition from fast-melting ice cubes to giant, beverage-saving ice balls.
How to make an ice ball: 1) Attach top and bottom parts. Please close it tight. 2) Pour water from top hole. Do NOT fill water completely, please keep a little space on the top. 3) Push top part to make sure there is no space in between, then store in freezer. 4) Allow the ice to completely solidify.
How to take the ice out: 1) Twist upper and lower part. If it is difficult, push from the bottom. 2) Push the top part and take the ice out. It is easier if you stretch the side. 3) Drop with care when placing the ice ball into cup. ands of fancy cocktail bars can't be wrong.

LOCAL RANCHER: MADRAS, OREGON
Madras, Oregon
Norton Cattle Company
Like all the ranchers who work with Cattle Company Beef, Tom Norton of Norton Cattle Company in Madras, Oregon, feels the real value he brings is going the extra mile to care about his land and his animals.
All of his cattle are grazed on open land and cared for in the most advantageous way. He knows the final results for consumers are affected by the way his cattle are fed, raised and processed. That means the family goes above and beyond the minimum requirements for operating a cattle ranch.
Tom performs controlled burns annually and invests in reseeding grasses to improve the land his cattle graze upon. To him it's about healthy land.
"The money spent on reseeding isn't going back into my business, it's going into the environment," Tom says.
He also harvests the timber on his property, clearing away dead and weak trees leaving the healthier, larger trees. Clearing the land of dead trees gives his cattle more room to take care of underbrush, which naturally helps with fire prevention.
His favorite part of ranching? "Being a business owner. I'm free to do what I want, and I can do it outside."
Tom sees a change in the evolution of ranchers, but still appreciates the traditional ranching methods.
"My kids aren't as cowboy as when I was a kid, but it makes me appreciate it more when we go to move cows," he says."
With zero cellphone service, it's a time to talk with his kids. "There's no interruptions," Tom says, "just natural conversation amidst hard work." The type of work that allows him to be with his family and keep up a tradition that's slowly fading away.
Ranching is ultimately about leaving behind a legacy. Not just a business that his children can inherit, but a healthy land that they can continue to love.
"I want my kids to see old growth trees," Tom says. "I want to leave behind a better place for them. Isn't that what we all want?"

The role of plant water status on source water uptake
All terrestrial plants transpire water, but where exactly does that water come from within the soil? This seemingly simple research question has been the subject of studies for many years. Stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen "tracers" have proven useful for shedding light on patterns of plant water use. However, the use of such tracers alone limits our understanding of patterns of source uptake and the mechanisms behind tracer observations. To go beyond this black box approach, we integrated measurements of stable isotope composition in xylem and soil water.
Combining flow-MRI and modeling approach to assess sap flux in tomato plant architecture in response to water deficit
Variations of tomato fruit weight and composition throughout the cycle of production make the management of fruit yield and quality complex. These variations are linked to the fluctuation of water and carbon available for fruit growth and depend on the genotype and environmental conditions. Some structural functional plant models can predict the concentration of water and carbon in the plant architecture and the consequences on fruit growth. Obtaining measures of sap fluxes in situ is difficult.
Application of organic photo-voltaic films on fruit trees: a proof of concept for a self-sustainable orchard
Gianmarco Bortolotti is a PhD student at the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences of the University of Bologna, Italy. He participated in the International Symposium on Precision Management of Orchards and Vineyards, presenting innovative system integration of fruit trees and energy co-production.

Perceptions of climate change and adaptation strategies implemented by the winegrowers of the Méntrida Denomination Region
This study focuses on the processes of developing climate change adaptation strategies by grape growers producing wine. This is part of a geographical approach that considers grape vine cultivation practices, the environment, and the effect on humans. The hypothesis tests the perception that climate change and the representations by stakeholders play an important role in the adaptation process and in the agricultural practices.
Canopy conductance of hazelnut orchards appeared insensitive to irrigation regimes
The hazelnut (Corylus avellana L., 'Tonda Gentile delle Langhe' (TGL)) remains one of the most appreciated nut trees by the food industry. Its production has been expanded world-wide to allow extensive plantations. Still TGL is known to be highly sensitive to climate outside of Piemonte, Italy. Its moisture sensitivity is expressed as a rigid stomata behavior with stomata closing in the early morning at a vapor pressure deficit of the atmosphere (VPD) of 10 hPa.
Deficit irrigation strategies on yield components and quality of Vitis vinifera L. 'Touriga Franca' under Mediterranean climate
I graduated with a B.S. in Biology from the Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto (FCUP), Porto, Portugal, in 2012. I then obtained an M.S. in Biological Aquatic Resources. In 2015, I began an M.S. in Agricultural Engineering studying irrigation in vineyards at the same institution. I am a member of "GreenUPorto – Sustainable Agrifood Production" Research Centre and am currently a PhD student. My goal is to understand how irrigation affects fruit and wine production in the Douro Region, one of the oldest production regions of the world.
Performance evaluation of a non-chemical weed control machine for vineyards and orchards operating with high pressure cold water
During the last several decades, environmental pollution problems caused by the extensive use of chemical herbicides have encouraged the introduction of integrated crop production. A further boost to these methods has been provided by market demand, where organic or "biologique" products are increasingly requested by consumers. In vineyards and orchards, one of the most widely used methods of non-chemical weed control is through the mechanical action of agricultural implements.
Parameter estimation for respiration rate of dragon fruit as a function of gas composition and temperature
Controlled atmosphere or modified atmosphere packaging are clean and potentially effective techniques to extend the storage life of dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus). Application of these techniques requires thorough knowledge about the fruit respiration rate. To this end, this study aims to model the respiration rate as a function of O2 and CO2 level, and temperature, using Michaelis-Menten kinetics and Arrhenius' law. Dragon fruit were incubated in closed containers with different initial O2 concentrations (5-21%), initial CO2 concentrations (0-10%), and temperatures (2-35°C).

The remontant flowering of perennial plants: implications for breeding bearded iris
Zhuping Fan is a candidate for an MS degree at Beijing Forestry University, China. She is studying repeat blooming or remontant flowering of bearded iris (Iris germanica). She is also evaluating Iris through traditional hybridization and molecular breeding methods. Bearded iris appears to have a thick and bushy "beard" on its colorful falls. This flower annually blooms in May in Beijing, China. However, some cultivars bloom twice each year, in May and October. This reblooming enhances the popularity of this flower and adds commercial value to this crop.

Lego Undercover Cop – Beware!
This story about Lego undercover cops on UPI amused me. I suppose mainly because of the image of the Lego undercover cop!
An Oregon man was taken into police custody after agreeing to sell stolen Legos to an undercover officer in a sting operation.
Pavel Illich Kuzik, 25, was arrested while driving a stolen car and booked on multiple outstanding warrants according to a press release by the Portland Police Bureau.
Kuzik was suspected of stealing expensive Lego sets from Fred Meyer superstore locations and selling them at discounted prices on online marketplace OfferUp.com.
Police and Fred Meyer Loss Prevention began investigating Kuzik in February 2016 before he was arrested on March 3. The investigation is ongoing and further charges are expected in the case.
The Portland Police Bureau advised consumers to be wary of third party sellers, noting that new items sold at a discount may be stolen and difficult to trace.
But there is a serious side to this story. Did you know that in many jurisdictions in the world that you have no legal title to stolen goods that you may have bought in good faith?
You could buy an item costing hundreds of dollars not knowing that it was stolen. If the police identify it as stolen property and seize it from you as evidence, then you have lost both your money and the item!
That is a good reason in my book to buy from reputable sources.
Returning to a lighter note – during my undercover days on Operation Julie there were times when I was completely 'out of it'! Non compos mentis!
I reckon Lego is a great gift for kids of all ages. Click here for the full range.

Q: Getting event listeners related error from multipage html website There's one problem I'm facing right now. In my application there are couple of html pages and they are connected internally through navigation links.
Now I'm getting some data on the homepage from an external api which is working fine. Now when I'm going to another html page it's throwing errors and showing the event listeners are missing as it's searching for those event listeners too.
I'm compiling all my JavaScript codes into one bundle js file so all the script tags are same for all the html pages.                    For Example : I've two pages index.html and about. html    and the index.html page has an event listener document. queryselector('button').addEventListenr..
And now the script tag is  which I'm getting by bundling all the JavaScript files by webpack. Now about. html page has this same script tag and I'll fetch some other data to that page but when the page is loading the page is look for that button event listener and throwing errors. What should I do now?

-quitates observaveris Domine, Domine quis sustinebit? Ant: Opera. Psalmus.
Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo: quoniam audisti verba oris mei.
In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi: adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo.
Super misericordia tua, et veritate tua: quoniam magnificasti super omne nomen sanctum tuum.
In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me: multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
..Lord observe iniquities, O Lord who shall be able to endure it? Ant: The works. Psalm.
[Psalms 137] I will confess to thee O Lord in my whole heart: because thou hast heard the words of my mouth. In the sight of Angels I will sing to thee: I will adore toward thy holy temple, and will confess to thy name. Upon thy mercy and thy truth: because thou hast magnified thy holy name above all things. In what day soever I shall call on thee, hear me: thou shalt multiply strength in my soul.
Confiteantur tibi Domine omnes reges terrae: quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
Et cantent in viis Domini: quoniam magna est gloria Domini.
Quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit: et alta a longe cognoscit.
Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me: et super iram inimicorum meorum extendisti manum tuam, et salvum me fecit dextera tua.
Dominus retribuet pro me, Domine misericordia tua in saeculum: opera manuum tuarum ne despicias. Ant. Opera.
[continues Psalms 137] Let all the Kings of the earth O Lord confess to thee: because they have heard all the words of thy mouth. And let them sing in the ways of our Lord: because great is the glory of our Lord. Because our Lord is high, and he beholdeth low things: and high things he knoweth far off. If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and upon the wrath of mine enemies thou hast extended thy hand, and thy right hand hath saved me. Our Lord will repay for me, O Lord thy mercy is forever: despise not the works of thy hands. Ant: The works.

was a Japanese athlete who competed at the 1932 and 1936 Olympics. In 1932 he finished sixth in the long jump, while in 1936 he finished third in the long jump, behind Jesse Owens and Luz Long, and won the triple jump event, setting a world record at 16.00 m. This record stood until 1951, when Adhemar da Silva improved it by one centimeter.

Raised in Iwakuni, Tajima graduated in economics from Kyoto Imperial University just prior to competing in the Olympics. His gold medal was Japan's last Olympic track and field gold medal until Naoko Takahashi won the women's marathon at the 2000 Summer Olympics.

Tajima retired from competitive athletics in 1938 but maintained an administrative role as managing director of the Japan Association of Athletics Federations. He was also a member of the Japanese Olympic Committee, coached the Japanese athletics teams at the 1956 and 1964 Olympics, and worked as a lecturer at Chukyo University.

The Most Read TAP Blogs from 2020
By TAP Staff Blogger
With 2020 coming to a close, TAP offers this list of the top-10 viewed blog posts from this past year that have been written by TAP scholars. Interesting to note is that three of the top blogs viewed this year examine the Schrems II ruling by the Court of Justice for the European Union (CJEU), and two of the top read posts address the coronavirus pandemic's impact on privacy and working from home.
The list is compiled using simple page view analytics; therefore, posts published earlier in the year have had more time to garner page views than those published in the last quarter. To off-set this imbalance, the below list includes blogs published from December 2019 since their page view numbers didn't have the time to build up for 2019's top-read list. (Apologies to TAP's economists for such a simple and unrefined process.)
Below are the top 10 most read blogs written by TAP scholars this past year. They are listed in order of most viewed posts.
"Private browsing: What it does – and doesn't do – to shield you from prying eyes on the web"
By Lorrie Faith Cranor, August 21, 2020
Major browsers offer privacy-protection modes. However, there is a common misconception "that these browser modes allow you to browse the web anonymously, surfing the web without websites identifying you and without your … employer knowing what websites you visit."
"Protecting Privacy on COVID-19 Surveillance Apps"
By Paul M. Schwartz, May 12, 2020
"The debate about the use and development of COVID-19 tracking apps is taking place worldwide. The most vibrant international debate about technology-assisted contact tracing is occurring in the European Union. …and the U.S. stands to learn from it."
"'Schrems II' backs the European legal regime into a corner — How can it get out?"
By Peter Swire, July 28, 2020
"The CJEU declined to address … how to reconcile fundamental rights with national security. As someone who has worked extensively both in privacy and national security, my own view is that the CJEU provides very little room for effective protection against military action."
"Schrems II: Reflections on the Decision and Next Steps"
By Daniel J. Solove, July 30, 2020
"The CJEU's [European Court of Justice] problem isn't that the US engages in a lot of surveillance. Instead, the CJEU noted several problems with US surveillance law that will not be easy to fix. As the CJEU explained, the US lacks some key protections and limitations in its law."
"Covid-19 and the Workplace Revolution"
By Nicholas Bloom, August 4, 2020
"Without the historic switch to remote working, the economic impact of the pandemic would have been far worse and social distancing far more difficult. Working from home is a not only economically essential, it is a critical weapon in our fight against Covid-19."
"GDPR's Second Anniversary: A Cause for Celebration — and Concern"
By Omer Tene, May 28, 2020
"Perhaps more than any regulatory framework before, the GDPR has had a profound policy impact outside the borders of the EU. Part of this policy export impact is directly attributable to the GDPR's insistence that data transferred from Europe continue to be protected at a level equivalent to that in the EU."
By Omer Tene, July 20, 2020
With the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield now invalidated, U.S. businesses can use standard contractual contracts to transfer data from Europe to the U.S. However, "companies can no longer simply sign and forget. They must continually monitor their ability to comply with the contractual terms. This is a good thing."
"Want to Learn More About Section 230? A Guide to My Work"
By Eric Goldman, July 16, 2020
Gain an understanding of why Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act continues to be intensely debated. Professor Eric Goldman, Santa Clara High Tech Law Institute, shares select writings that include a primer on the basics, critical policy considerations, myths about content moderation, and more.
"Year in Review: Digital Events in 2019"
By Shane Greenstein, December 27, 2019
Fitbit infidelity, internet memes, assembling the black hole image, ICANN sale of the .ORG domain, mass surveillance, and machine learning used to identify the author of Henry VIII. It's time for a little sarcasm and mockery with Professor Shane Greenstein's retrospective look back at top digital events of 2019.
Of special note: Professor Greenstein's digital recap of 2020 technology people and events has just been published on TAP: "The Year in Review for Digital Technology."
"Can We Have Too Much Data?"
