In Brazil, police are outraged when a black man was killed by a gas grenade in an SUV. Video footage of Brazilian police officers poisoning a mentally ill black man behind a police car has caused outrage across the country.
Central Highway Police arrested 38-year-old Genevaldo de Jesus Santos in Umbaba on Wednesday 25 May.
Video footage of the incident shows two officers wearing a helmet and locking the car’s locks to their feet and shouting as the vehicle releases gas.
“They’re going to kill the baby,” Santosh heard a stranger say while moving her legs. Currently, consumers are widely sharing a clip demanding justice for Santos on social media. Please watch the video below: (Video is in graphic format. Viewers Adapted.)
The post mortem examination on Thursday confirmed that Santosh breathed down. George Floyd died in Minneapolis two years after being assassinated by a white police officer.
According to his family, Santos suffers from schizophrenia, which is why he takes medication. Witnessing the incident, Santos’s son-in-law Alison de Jesus said he had warned police that the man was unwell before he was described as a cannibal. “This is a torture session,” he told local reporters.
The death of Santos has now led to protests in Umbaba where dozens of people have taken to the streets, blocked roads, burned tires and marched against police brutality.
Renato Sosa, a black activist and politician from Rio de Janeiro, wrote on Twitter that “the police turned the car into a gas chamber and hanged a mentally ill person.” “There is no word in your face for such inhuman acts. Brazil is the end camp for the world!”
A police report has been released
Sergei State Federal Highway Police said in a statement that officers used “maneuverable” and “small attack-capable equipment” following the Santos attack. It is said that Santosh was admitted to hospital on the way to the police station.
Family members said Santosh had died on arrival at the hospital. Santos died a day after 26 people were killed in a police attack on Villa Cruziro Favela in Rio de Janeiro, making it the city’s second-worst police operation.
Police are rarely identified in such cases, but officials in the videos have been widely called for an investigation.

At today’s Intel Development Forum, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) engineers will present a white paper on power efficiency, according to The New York Times.
Google engineers have been publicly concerned about the high cost of power and low efficiency of computers for some time, warning that if performance-per-watt stays where it is now, power costs could eventually overtake hardware costs. The search giant even builds its own servers, among other reasons, to save money on power consumption.
Expected to be included in today’s presentation is a proposal to shift from multi-voltage power supplies to a single 12-volt standard — in other words, a simpler design that would allow for higher efficiency.
Google is not the only company that is trying to address the high costs of power and low efficiency of many computers. Over the last year, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has been shifting much of its focus from speed to reduced power consumption.
Which is a bigger concern for you or your business — speed or electric bills? Has your bottom line been affected by power-inefficient computers?

WASHINGTON – Congressional officials say the government plans to suspend the popular "cash for clunkers" program amid concerns it could quickly use up the $1 billion in rebates for new car purchases.
The Transportation Department called congressional offices late Thursday to alert them to the decision to halt the program, which offered owners of old cars and trucks $3,500 or $4,500 toward a new, more fuel-efficient vehicle.
The congressional officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Through late Wednesday, 22,782 vehicles had been purchased through the program and nearly $96 million had been spent. But dealers raised concerns of large backlogs in the system, prompting the suspension.
Folks, this was a 'ONE' page bill. NHTSA tried to administer with a 100 plus page rules and a website. They just can't figure out what to do. Initial allotment of $1 BILLION in tax money will either be increased or car dealers will end up $3500 - $4500 short on thousands of deals.
Now the same idiots who can't run a program based on ONE PAGE and $1 BILLION are trying to pass a thousand plus page long "Health Care Reform" bill. they already passed another thousand plus page long " Global Warming" bill.
This requires no further explanation.

A Round Table Conference on ‘Land Grabbing in Visakhapatnam’
A Round Table Conference on ‘Land Grabbing in Visakhapatnam’ with leaders of all political parties and intellectuals was held today in Visakhaptnam under the aegis of YSR Congress Party. The meet decided to intensify and take forward the fight against land grabbers till the government orders a CBI probe. Cases of Land grabbing to an extent of more than 1 lakh acres in and around Vizag have been unearthed.
Though it is an open secret that a local minister, MLA’s and leaders of ruling party are behind these unprecedented land scams, the government is shying away from ordering a CBI enquiry. Top authorities, including district collector, are unabashedly making all attempts to protect the high profile people behind land scams under the duress of powers that be. However, YSR Congress Party demands a thorough investigation into the land scams by none other than CBI.

Malcolm McDowell hardly needs an introduction, but here goes: The British actor, with over 100 credits to his resume, is best known for his lead role in Stanley Kubrick’s groundbreaking, genre-defying film A Clockwork Orange. His most recent project is Silent Night, a “loose remake” of 1984’s Silent Night, Deadly Night. In the new version, which just hit DVD and blu-ray last week, McDowell plays a small town sheriff who must find a Christmas killer dressed as Santa. We spoke with Malcolm about the film, about Clockwork, and about what scares him so much about Santa Claus.
How did you get involved with Silent Night?
Well, they asked me to do it! I read it and I was quite intrigued. I liked it a lot. I thought we could make a good movie. I met the director, Steven Miller, and he came up with some really great ideas. Even though we only had something like 17 days to shoot it - I think I was only in for eight days - it was fast. I love shooting fast like that, so it appealed to me. That is why I got involved. I liked the director immediately, and I think he did a wonderful job. I think he’s a very talented director.
Were you familiar with the original Silent Night, Deadly Night?
I didn’t see the original, but I heard about it when I decided I would do this. I didn’t want to see it - I felt it was pointless [McDowell’s character does not exist in Silent Night, Deadly Night.] And also, it’s not a remake; it’s just “inspired” by that movie. Of course, they had to buy the title, but I think the script is completely different, from what I’ve heard.
I’m glad they put the sheriff in. It’s quite fun, and it adds a layer to the relationship with Jamie King’s character. He is a little bit all-knowing and thinks he can keep a cap on it. But he is used to writing parking tickets and throwing drunks into jail on a Saturday night. He is totally ill-equipped [to deal with a killer] but he’ll never admit that. That’s a nice figure to poke a bit of fun at - but not too much. You don’t want to be disrespectful. I found it a fun role to do, and I don’t think I’ve ever played a sheriff before.
Did you get to improvise any of your lines or scenes?
Oh yes, a lot of those one-liners are mine. The fun bits. It lends itself to that, but you have to be careful not to go too over-the-top. You’ve got to keep it real; you’ve got to believe that he is a law enforcement officer. I think when I’m on set I just come out with whatever is going on in my brain at the time. It’s instinctive. I don’t think about it too much; I just sort of do it when I get there and see what’s going on. That’s how “Singing in the Rain” came out of my mouth all those years ago with Stanley Kubrick [for A Clockwork Orange.] It was the same sort of formula: you just let your intuition take over.
And you have generally worked with directors who have let your intuition take over, and let you go off-script?
Yeah, unless they tell me they don’t want it. But that’s my M.O. I love to improvise - if it works for the scene. I’d prefer not to improvise. If the script is great, you don’t have to. You just do the script. It’s a rare thing, but it does happen.
Did you worry at all that there would be a backlash or controversy around a movie about a killer Santa? Even though it is not a new concept, it seems that - in this country at least - many people are paranoid about this “war” on Christmas.
I never really thought about that. Honestly, it has been so long since the original one, and people got upset then that they were taking this mythical, wonderful character of Santa Claus.... Let’s face it - and this is why I like the film - the whole thing with Christmas is that it is completely commercial and being taken over by Hallmark cards. It’s just something to drive the economy. That’s basically what has happened to Christmas as we know it. Santa Claus is a beautiful, mythical figure for young kids - personally, I’ve always been rather suspicious of Santa Claus - I called him Father Christmas, back in England. I was a little afraid of him, with his great big white beard and red suit, and those big boots and his big stomach...
Plus, he is a stranger, breaking into your house.
Exactly! And he comes down a chimney, but most people don’t have a chimney, so parents are now telling kids they are leaving the door open or something. My kids are practical about it. They ask me, “Won’t he get burnt, coming down a chimney?” I try to explain that he has fireproof underwear, so he should be alright.
I’m sure, though, that the producers would love some controversy. It always helps ticket sales. When the original came out, Siskel and Ebert said, “Do not go see this film - it’s horrendous.” So of course, everyone flocked to see it. If they say it’s that bad, it must be good.
You are certainly no stranger to controversy with the roles you take, especially A Clockwork Orange. Do you think appearing in Clockwork so early in your career changed the trajectory of your career?
I’m sure it did. But who knows? If you asked me now if I would have preferred not to have done A Clockwork Orange, I would say, “Hell no!” You are dealt the cards, and I was spectacularly lucky to work with such an extraordinary director as Stanley Kubrick. It’s a very indelible character and, if I may say, performance. Coming out when it did, when nobody had seen anything like it, it was an overwhelming success. People probably couldn’t see me in anything else, they just wanted to see me play that part over and over again, which I refused to do. I’m an actor, I’m from England, I grew up on the stage, basically. I don’t want to play the same part every time.
I felt much more of a seismic change in my life after I did my first film, which was directed by Lindsay Anderson, called If... No one had ever heard of me before that. I had never done a movie before that, let alone been the lead in a movie. That was a huge shift from poverty into a normal life where you didn’t have to worry about paying the bills month to month. In terms of my life, the first one meant more to me. By the time I got to Clockwork, which was the fourth movie I did, I didn’t really have time to relish the success of Clockwork because I was thrown into another movie almost immediately. Which is good. But Clockwork is the movie I assume I will always be remembered for, and to be associated with Kubrick is not a bad thing. I am very privileged to have played that part. To be part of the Kubrick film [legacy], and one of his best films at that, is wonderful.
Are you ever asked to speak at any of the Kubrick retrospectives?
Oh yes, hundreds of them. When you get to be my age, and you’ve been doing it for as long as I have - which is going on 50 years - I think it would be fun to do a retrospective of all the worst films I’ve done. That would be a really embarrassing evening!
And what would some of those be?
That, I’m not going to say. But I know a couple right off the top of my head, but the people that worked on them are still around, and they wouldn’t want me knocking something that they worked hard on. But some just don’t work out the way they had hoped, and that’s it.
You have a fair amount of genre credits on your resume. Are you a horror fan, or is that just the byproduct of a long and successful career?
I enjoy science fiction, definitely. I think it’s amazing because we really use our imaginations for science fiction, where anything is possible. So you’ve got to love that. I love science fiction writers. I was friends with Ray Bradbury and I think he was the American version of Jules Verne, and I always loved Jules Verne. H.G. Wells, too. There are a lot of wonderful stories in science fiction. Edgar Allen Poe, too - one of the greatest writers of his period or any others. So yes, I am a fan of the genre. At its very best, it is incredibly beautiful and very imaginative.

A federal judge sentenced two men to long prison terms Monday in unrelated drug cases.
District Judge Reed C. O’Conner sentenced Stuart Ray Mitchell, 40, to 151 months in federal prison. Mitchell pleaded guilty in January to one count of conspiring to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute methamphetamine, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
According to documents filed in the case, Mitchell admitted that on multiple occasions between November 2011 and August 2012, he distributed quantities of methamphetamine, and received payments for it, from customers in the Wichita Falls area. The release said Mitchell’s sources of methamphetamine included co-conspirator Steve Ysasaga, who supplied Mitchell quantities of at least one ounce of methamphetamine at a time. Mitchell distributed quantities of methamphetamine to people in Wichita Falls and made payment for the methamphetamine he received from Ysasaga to both Ysasaga and co-defendant Kimberly Williams. Mitchell admits he possessed with intent to distribute at least 50 grams of methamphetamine during the conspiracy.
Ysasaga, 41, of Arlington, Texas, was sentenced in late February 2014 to 240 months in federal prison. Williams, 27, was sentenced to 72 months in federal prison in July 2013.
With Mitchell’s sentencing yesterday, all 39 defendants charged in this conspiracy have entered guilty pleas and have been sentenced, the release said. Federal prison sentences have ranged from 24 months to 300 months.
In the second case, Reed sentenced Leonardo L. Sanchez of Wichita Falls to 110 months in federal prison.
According to the press release, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Wichita Falls Police Department investigated this Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force case. Sanchez, 37, has been in custody since his arrest in June 2013 on a related federal criminal complaint.
According to plea documents filed in the case, on October 25, 2012, when officers with the Wichita Falls Police Department executed a narcotics search warrant at his home, officers found two semi-automatic pistols in a safe. In Sanchez’s truck, officers located a tube of caulk that contained two small plastic bags containing additional small plastic bags of methamphetamine. Sanchez admitted he possessed this methamphetamine and intended to distribute it later.

Question – take a five piece band from Wales with one of their members unable to be there and what do we get on stage?…six guys of course!
The band did state before the concert that there would be a couple of surprises and we weren’t disappointed. Adam Rhodes was the missing member, however instead we were treated to Ewan MacPherson (Shooglenifty) on guitar and Tom Callister (Barrule) on banjo and fiddle. They are a great example of original interceltic music and fronted by Jamie Smith on accordion and Oliver Wilson-Dickson on fiddle as well as the impeccably dressed (as always!) Iolo Whelan on drums and percussion and Matt (the man with the hat) Downer on basses.
They opened with Huzzah! – a great track to get the crowd going , although getting them to actually dance proved a no-go even though it was a standing gig. Some of the other pieces played ranged from reels to slower pieces sung in Welsh by Jamie which included Whiskey Pump Reels, Galician Stylee, Lady Of The Woods and Caru Pum Merch (translated as loving five girls!). This is a beautiful haunting song which really did require some quiet from the audience that wasn’t always given unfortunately.
The joys of seeing acts live is that they often give the stories behind some of their work and this was the case of the Gordano Ranter. This song was written after the guys experience of stopping at the aforementioned service station on the M5 late one evening, and having the misfortune to be served by a young man who, they reckoned hadn’t had customers for some considerable time and decided to vent all his anguishes to the band. It certainly had the crowd laughing as we have had such an experience at some time when least expecting it!
It was a great night’s entertainment and the group have a new album coming out soon which I look forward to hearing so watch this space!
Here again we have five musicians who went away to the west coast of Ireland together for two weeks, to look at their music in respect of the constant changing Atlantic coastline and sky. There seem to be more and more groups today, locking themselves away for a week or two for intense music sessions and in general it seems to work as it has for this band. Their other selling point, is that they are fronted by two banjo players – Ted Kelly and Cillian Doheny who compliment each other very well with accordion player (and poet) Darren Roche between them, along with Jos Kelly on keyboard and Paddy Hazleton on percussion.
Playing tracks from their recently relased debut album ‘Planted’, they have a diverse range of music and on one piece in particular where Jos was allowed his solo, it was reminiscient of Rick Wakeman from Yes or Keith Emerson from Emerson, Lake & Palmer in their heydays!
We were also entertained by the rendition of a poem penned by Darren on a bus journey from Limerick to Dublin – adding a different dimension to the gig. As for Darren’s accordion playing , I never realised one could stretch so far as he makes full usuage of his instrument at all times.
Onwards and upwards guys!

IMEAS - Sanding lines and integrated solutions
For almost 50 years IMEAS has been producing wood-based panels sanding machines and surface finishing machines for stainless steel and other materials. With over 1900 machines delivered all over the world, we are proud to inform that the first sanding machine that we manufactured is still operating.
IMEAS and INSERCO have been connected with each other through a strong and professional partnership for almost 25 years. Together, we are able to offer our customers a combination of a strong and local based service as well as a network of offices in most Latin American countries, by using INSERCO’s subsidiaries in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. Our mission is clear: to deliver a high quality product, and to offer our customers access to a full range of services to not only state-of-the-art technology but also to proven innovations and solutions such as the Full Control System (FCS).
THE FULL CONTROL SYSTEM
In the last years our customers have been experiencing a challenge, which was not present in the past. Formerly, operators used to remain in the company from the beginning to the end of their working life. That way, they acquired a great deal of experience in the production process as well as the operation of the machines.
Nowadays, the employee turnover has increased significantly and companies need to train new operators more frequently. Thus, the newly hired machinists have to quickly learn how to operate the equipment. And at the same time, the machines must be able to work as independently as possible, regardless of the operator’s skills.
IMEAS came up with an innovative solution to this challenge for its customers: the FCS™ (Full Control System).
ADVANTAGES OF THE FCS™
EXAMPLE ONE: SET-UP
Any change in a product feature (like thickness or quality) requires an adjustment of the sanding heads. On an 8-head-line machine, this adjustment, if done manually, takes about 16 minutes. With the FCS™ this operation takes just a few seconds since the heads can all be repositioned at the same time. Thus, saving time required for the set-up by up to 90%.
EXAMPLE TWO: ABRASIVE BELT CONSUMPTION
In the past, after processing a certain number of panels, the operator had to fine tune each head of the sanding band in order to compensate for the belt consumption, and to keep the tolerance of the final panel. With the FCS TM this information is saved in the sanding machine’s memory and the fine-tuning takes place when necessary without the operator’s intervention. Therefore the operator does not have to be an expert.
The FCS™ can be retrofitted on installed machines.
With this system all the adjustments previously made by the operators, are now controlled by servomotors and by an external control station. Thanks to FCS a machine can start or stop a complete sanding line by pushing one button. The FCS TM enables operators to control the machine´s feeding speed, the thickness of the panel, to fine tune the contact rolls and platens, and to automatically set up the sanding parameters (for example, the adjustment required according to the abrasive belt consumption). The system also facilitates monitoring the actual status of the complete line (e.g. motors ´consumption, abrasive belt position, number of panels produced) and controlling maintenance parameters, and online help, as well as the main bearing temperature, among other features.
A single worker, located at a remote control room, can monitor and operate the complete line with an easy-to-use graphic interface.
FCS™ also enables establishing a password-protected control of the machine, featuring different levels of access to adjust its configuration, thus protecting the machine.

§ 29. Mr. Geoffrey Cooper
asked the Minister of Labour the number of students who have completed their training in the four years since the National Institute of House Workers was set up.
§ Mr. Cooper
Since the cost involved, as I understand, is nearly half a million pounds, could my hon. Friend say what the Government's policy is in regard to the future of this Institute; and could he also say whether these women take the training to go into domestic work or to increase their matrimonial prospects?
I should have thought that the service was doing admirable work indeed, and if my hon. Friend looks at the very fine results obtained, I think he will agree that it was well worth while.
§ Mr. Nabarro
Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the expenditure of half a million pounds to train 700 people works out at something of the order of £700 per person trained? Is that economy?
I hope that the hon. Gentleman will offset against that the very great benefit that is done to the people employing these girls and to the girls themselves.
§ Miss Jennie Lee
I hope my hon. Friend will keep in mind how very important it is not to have household work made into casual labour, and how very important indeed is the work done by this Institute.

Clearly, much water has passed under the online insurance bridge. Our symposium assembled successful web-enabled insurance companies, distributors and aggregators to share ideas on what works, what doesn't and where we go from here.
Dallas (PRWEB) October 2, 2007
Keynote speakers Paula Reynolds, CEO of Safeco, Dean O'Hare, former Chairman and CEO of Chubb and Bill Hartnett, Insurance Solutions Director of Microsoft were joined by thirty-six other CEOs and internet pioneers during MarketScout's inaugural eInsurance Symposium in Dallas. A broad array of industry topics were presented including online marketing techniques, SEMCI quoting tools, eInsurance methods deployed by major insurers, geocoding applications and many facets of "e-based" automation applications.
According to Richard Kerr, MarketScout's Founder and CEO, "Clearly, much water has passed under the online insurance bridge. Our symposium assembled successful web-enabled insurance companies, distributors and aggregators to share ideas on what works, what doesn't and where we go from here."
Kerr kicked off the symposium with a look back at the last ten years in eInsurance. He was followed by Bill Hartnett of Microsoft who presented a very interesting parallel of the insurance industry and other industries who are experiencing considerable change. A general session panel including industry leaders John Chu of The Hartford, Rod Fox, formerly of Praetorian, Larry Illion of CNA, Robert Purdy of AIG and Henry Schramm of ACE discussed the successes and future strategies of major insurers in the eInsurance arena.
The first afternoon was filled with breakout sessions profiling innovative concepts. These sessions included the following topics and speakers.
Web-Based Automation & Applications
Jim Blinn, Principle - Advisen
Charles Fillizola, President - MFXchange Holdings, Inc.
Roger Rudell, Director - Product Management - P&C Solutions for CSC
Randy Skinner, COO - Skywire Software
eInsurance Investor's Forum
John J. Kraska, Managing Director - Hales & Company
Aaron T. Miller, Vice President - Great Hills Partners
Ian Packer, Partner - Bexar Capital
Ed Gillman, Founder & President - AgentSecure
Rick Quagliaroli, CEO - Strongwood Insurance Holdings
Blake Stock, CEO - Combined Group
Life & Health Innovations
Fidel Baca, Principal - ExponentHR
Kurt de Grosz, Senior Vice President New Business Development - Vertafore, Inc.
John Maxwell, Managing Director Voluntary Products - Marsh
On day two, trailblazing internet pioneers, David Roush of Insurance.com, Jamie Pickles of Insweb and Alan Snyder, Founder of Answer Financial shared their experiences including what they would do differently if they blazed the internet trail once again.
Paula Reynolds, CEO of Safeco delivered a keynote address outlining how Safeco is "daring to be different."
The session concluded with presentations on geocoding, mapping, lead generation, and technology companies who presented leading edge concepts.
MarketScout's symposium has proven the insurance industry is entering a new phase of online insurance development. Phase one resulted in hundreds of misdirected business plans and millions of lost dollars. Phase two looks like it will be much different with progressive companies using the web to transfer massive premium volume. This transfer has already occurred with over $40 billion of premiums moving from a traditional model
into a web-enabled model. One thing is certain, there are more eInsurance models coming and more business will be moving into a web-enabled format.
MarketScout, formed in 1999, has grown to become the nation's largest insurance exchange. MarketScout underwrites and distributes hundreds of product lines to its 58,000-member agency network across the United States via marketscout.com and 32 other managed Web portals. Over 40 "A" Rated carriers participate in the MarketScout exchange platform. MarketScout believes the independent agent using the MarketScout insurance exchange produces business to insurers that is 7% to 8% more profitable than business generated by the general marketplace.

EP Hearing "Copyright and Intellectual Property in the Digital Age"
This article is also available in:
Deutsch: Hearing im EU-Parlament: "Urheberrecht und Geistiges Eigentum im ...
The Socialists and Democrats Group in the European Parliament held a hearing on Copyright and Intellectual Property in the Digital Age" in the European Parliament (EP) on 29 and 30 June 2011. The event was organised in order to permit a balanced and calm discussion ahead of the launch of a range of intellectual property proposals from the European Commission over the coming months. The event was chaired by Maria Badia i Cutchet MEP (Spain) and Luigi Berlinguer (Italy) and was well attended by parliamentarians.
The first speaker was Malcolm Hutty from the European ISP Association (EuroISPA). He expressed concern not just at the amount of copyright infringements, but also at the fact that the legal framework has led to a whole generation growing up with a lack of respect for the law. He argued against repressive measures such as "three strikes" and blocking/filtering - both of which are contrary to existing policy priorities such as promoting access and consumer protection. He called for a move away from repression-by-default and towards measures to create respect for the law - and a more respectable law which allows reasonable exceptions, reasonable pricing and reasonable innovation. He used an example a DVD rental service which allowed online streaming of the product, using exactly the same payment model for rightholders as an offline DVD rental service but which was nonetheless objected to by rightholder groups simply because it was new.
He was followed by Jean Bergevin, head of the "fight against counterfeiting and piracy" unit of DG Markt of the European Commission. He stressed the global, fast-moving nature of the Internet, which is an integral part of all content distribution and which offers key opportunities to exploit niche markets, particularly thorough the simplification of the supply chain. He questioned whether there has been enough innovation and whether the cross-border delivery of content is matching the increased mobility and linguistic skills of citizens. He stressed the obligation under the Lisbon Treaty to ensure that any proposals fully respect the Charter of Fundamental Rights. He said that any new proposals must ensure that supply of content is maximised and gave the examples of the proposals of the Commission on orphan works, collective rights management and cross-border licensing as initiatives aiming to achieve this goal. Regarding the IPR Enforcement Directive, the aim should be to ensure that all rightsholders, however small, can enforce their rights. He said that existing business models are threatened and this is causing resistance. On the other hand, consumers need to move away from the concept of "free," although affordable access is necessary. He concluded by stating that a political will for modernisation was necessary.
The final presentation on the first day was from the Spanish academic Enrique Dans, who had a stunning presentation on the need to update thinking on intellectual property and access to audiovisual material. He described the resistance to every form of new content distribution throughout history, from the printing press to sheet music to audio cassettes to video cassette recorders - except CDs, which were cheaper to produce and could be sold for higher prices. He said there is no way to stop technology and technology is undermining industries in the middle of the distribution chain. Physical copies are no longer needed , marketing happens via social media, talent is found increasingly via viral means. As a result, the middlemen are no longer adding value and are demanding subsidies, such as via equipment levies - in Spain the levy on a CD is higher than the cost of the CD itself. Consumers are tired of being treated as criminals for sharing culture. Copyright is a dead horse - it is time to stop trying to legislate the horse back to life. "Piracy" is not lowest where there is the most enforcement - it is lowest where legal content is the most easily available.
On the second day, the discussion was divided into two sections. The first was "jobs and intellectual property - the way forward" while the second was "the role of the legislator - in defence of what? Protection of intellectual property, privacy and data"
A. Jobs and intellectual property
Johannes Studinger from the UNI MEI trade union, representing a wide range of workers, mentioned the history of the Socialists and Democrats in supporting workers and trades unions. He described how trades unions negotiate collective agreements with producers, which are important due to the instability of work in the media sector. Such agreements provide stability for workers and guarantee remuneration where works are re-used. This money is also used for health payments. Enforcement is important because if there are infringements, these collective agreements are less easy to sustain.
Smari McCarthy from the International Modern Media Initiative (IMMI) said that copyright was becoming a primary tool for censorship but it was a very contentious issue and the need was to get to a better model that benefited everybody. He said that the phrase "intellectual property" was a misnomer for a temporary property right. It is also incorrect to argue that copyright is needed to ensure creation - creators only receive a tiny percentage of income, the record companies get the vast majority of the revenue.
This approach is leading creators to turn to creative commons models and earning money from associated merchandising. Vested interests, particularly with regard to collective licensing, are holding back development. In the last decade, we have come up with more and more enforcement that creates a chilling effect and extra-judicial powers for intermediaries. These measures are circumvented and ineffective. We need to focus on promoting education and creation in policy development.
B. The role of the legislator
Christophe Geiger from the University of Strasbourg said that law was about social order and this was achieved by a balance between competing interests. This balance is what legislators must achieve. Citizens use and reuse cultural material and access to culture must be taken into account. We need to ensure just payment for creators and to ensure access and reuse. What is a "balance"? We need to focus on measures to increase access and we need to make sure that these are efficient - an observatory body for access along the lines of the observatory for counterfeiting would be good. Allowing access does not mean that access should be free. Legal use of works should also be looked at, with single window systems - it makes no sense to have 27 different licensing systems. Exceptions and limitations are key tools for access, particular for non-commercial uses, such as research and education. We also need an exception for creative purposes. We need to consider an EU copyright regime - copyright is not just a legal issue, it is a societal issue. When rules are not accepted, it is difficult to apply them. We need to get back to basics.
Joe McNamee from European Digital Rights said that it was important for legislators to learn from successes of the past. Legislators did not listen to the objections of old telecoms monopolies and forced them to liberalise. Despite their objections, this turned out to be hugely beneficial for them. Legislators did not listen to the music industry that complained that audio cassettes were "killing the music industry" or that video cassette recorders were as dangerous for the film industry as the Boston strangler was for women home alone. If legislators had listened, they would have robbed the film industry of subsequent revenues from video sales and rentals. It is normal for comfortable old and rich industries to resist change, even beneficial change, and it is the duty of legislators not to be swayed by their lobbying. On the other hand, it is also important to use legislation, where this is proven necessary, rather than outsourcing the powers of the state to private entities. It is precisely for this reason that the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Charter of Fundamental Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights require restrictions on fundamental rights to be based on law. The trend towards entrusting regulation of freedom of communication to internet intermediaries is undemocratic and dangerous and must be opposed by legislators.

At this weekend's FIS World Cup alpine competition in Val d’Isere, France, these Winter Olympic medalists fell from grace - ending up as also-rans in both Saturday's grand slalom and Sunday's slalom races.
Just a week earlier, they cherished their gold-silver finish in another world cup giant slalom contest in Beaver Creek, CO.
But, this week saw them free-falling into the depths of the standings. In Saturday's giant slalom, they battled a tough course topology - both skiing-out in the first run.
"Just a little bit (of) bad luck on my part today," Ligety said. "This course is always super, super bumpy and miserable to ski so I wasn't surprised by that at all."
Seeking redemption on Sunday, these past world cup champions challenged themselves in the slalom to regain their podium status. Miller once more failed to finish his first run.
While Ligety fared a bit better, carving to the 39th spot in the first heat, he failed to finish the second heart.
In their defense, U.S. men’s Alpine Coach Sasha Rearick said, "It was very hard snow but very grippy. We’ve been training on ice getting ready for Val d’Isere and we didn’t make that transition very well today."
They next race in Val Gardena, Italy later this week to resume their run to qualify for the Sochi Olympics.

I hope you’re liking the story so far.
It’s fun to write, yet, challenging at the same time.
She stared at him, the soaked clothes now cooling her to the point she shivered. “Never mind. You just killed the mood by reminding me—”
“How much fun it was.”
Nodding, she moved away towards the edge of the creek, desperate to find something to help her get dry. At least a little.
“Tell me, Hannah,” he said, following her, his voice still holding happiness. “Where did you learn to build dams like this?”
Shaking her head, she kept walking towards the car, tired of his questions. “Dad used to take us to this creek during summer for a barbeque and he showed me all sorts of things. Including how to build a dam. Or build little boats out of tree bark.”
“Which creek was that?”
She shot around and huffed an exaggerated sigh. “Who cares?”
With eyebrows raised, he replied, “I do.”
The dam they’d built only minutes earlier was still solid and holding back some of the water. A smiled tugged at her lips at all the memories of her family’s weekends away to this creek. Which creek had it been? And why did he need to know?
She met his gaze, a smile still lingering on his face, as she said just above a whisper, “Bigalow Creek. Dad took us to a place called Bigalow Creek.”
Thanks for all your comments,
I do appreciate each single one of them!

Hello Anne, I was at Hopewell Church in Blount Co. AL on Summit. Saw your flower you placed on their memorials from this cemetery. Wanted to let you know in case you were related, that this couple is located at the Hopewell in Cullman Co. and not Blount. It becomes very confusing when there are several cemeteries with the same name in the same area. There are at least 3 Hopewell in Blount Co. alone.

Anne, You have an extensive list of Civil War cemeteries. I'm hoping you can help me out. I'm searching for the gravesite of family member Peter Durant, 137th Mass Vol Regiment Company C, died of disease on Apr 11, 1863. The US Registry of Deaths (http://www.ancestry.com/sharing/9389360?h=c9e42d&utm_campaign=bandido-webparts&utm_source=post-share-modal&utm_medium=copy-url) shows he may have died in a hospital in New Orleans? I was told a bible page says he was buried in DC. Could use some help. Thanks much!
I searched the Wadsworth cemetery and could not locate your Mary Baker 1848 - 1888 but there is a Mary E Holt 1848 - 1888. The marker is hard to read but I have photos I can post if this is the person you are looking for.

THIS AND THAT: Minnesota is in something of an unexpected fade these days. Playing without the injured Dany Heatley and Matt Cullen (and still trying to integrate Jason Pominville into their lineup), Minnesota’s loss to the Blues Thursday was their sixth in eight games. More worrisome: They have been shutout in three of the four, the offence drying up and their current scoreless streak is sitting at 121:25. Minnesota looked as if it could push Vancouver for the Northwest Division crown; now the object is to stay ahead of the teams nipping at their heels for a playoff spot in the West, most notably Phoenix, which is making a little surge here at the end … And speaking of teams that suddenly look as if they know what they’re doing, how about the Washington Capitals, under coach Adam Oates, who were dismal to start the season and at one point, looked as if they could be sellers at the trade deadline. But Washington had one saving grace – they were playing in the Southeast, the worst division in hockey, and under rules that will be modified in realignment, guaranteed a place in the playoffs and the third overall seed if they could just be the best of a bad lot. Washington has feasted on its Southeast Divisional opponents – 13-3 overall – but there is more to the Capitals’ surge than just a result of beneficial scheduling. Alex Ovechkin is up to 16 goals in his past 14 games, Nicklas Backstrom again looks like a good fit on his line; and perhaps most unexpectedly, defenceman Mike Green’s game is showing a little bit of offensive verve again, after falling completely off the face of the earth in the past two injury-filled years. Only the Montreal Canadiens P.K. Subban has more goals (11) among defencemen than Green, which he’s managed in just 28 games and is more than what he had last year (three) or the year before (eight). Marcus Johansson is also helping the cause, mostly as the third man on the Ovechkin line. After a slow start and then missing about a month with a concussion, Johansson has eight points in his last seven games. At some point, the Capitals will get a chance to work Martin Erat into the lineup. He hurt his leg in his second game after coming over from the Nashville Predators at the trade deadline and so doesn’t have a point yet in a Capitals’ uniform. The Caps paid a big price to get him – first-rounder Filip Forsberg – so the hope is that Erat gets back and adds some balance to the second line. As long as goaltender Braden Holtby demonstrates his second-half form, the Capitals could pose a playoff threat to anyone. They and St. Louis are the two hottest teams in the NHL currently, both on six-game win streaks.
AND FINALLY: Winnipeg stayed in the race by reeling off a three-game win streak, but are now off until next Tuesday and have only six games remaining. The best news is that the Jets hold the edge in the tie-breaker – regulation and overtime wins – over all three teams they’re pursuing, the Ottawa Senators, the New York Islanders and the New York Rangers. The Jets play four of their final six at home and maybe the most important game is against the Islanders next Saturday afternoon, at home, after which they play back-to-back games in Buffalo and Washington on the road, then finish at home on the final Thursday of the regular season against the Montreal Canadiens.Report Typo/Error


Concern about the spread of the coronavirus is changing the way recyclables will be collected in Portage County.
Bill Steiner, director of the Portage County Solid Waste District, said in response to the pandemic, drivers will only collect the recyclables that are in the carts. All materials placed outside the cart will not be collected due to concerns with the virus being detected up to 24 hours on cardboard and 72 hours on plastic.
The district will continue to collect recyclables on its normal schedule, Steiner said.
"We want to take every precaution to minimize our drivers to any potential exposure," he said.
The district is asking that people who have questions to call the office at 330-678-8808. Residents should only place their carts out for collection when they are full.
Elected officials are being asked to post the information on all their social media platforms.

First Minister Mark Drakeford has said supermarkets should also stop selling items such as clothes as a matter of “fairness” until 9 November.
But retailers say the rules are confusing as they have not been given any definition of what is essential.
By law, clothing and homeware stores, and garden centres, will have to close during the national lockdown, while supermarkets, pharmacies and hardware stores can remain open.


Sridevi’s demise has left the nation in a state of shock and while everyone was still recovering from the actress' untimely demise, the drama around her sudden death grabbed headlines. Sridevi breathed her last in Dubai on February 24, and ever since the news broke, everyone big and small in tinsel town headed to Anil Kapoor’s residence to offer heartfelt condolences. Celebs took to social media to express their grief about the Chandni actress' demise. Divyanka Tripathi shared a video of Sridevi and left fans teary-eyed. While most of them have reminisced the actress' presence by sharing old pics and details of their association with Sridevi, Rakhi Sawant's post about the late actress left us feeling disgusted. (Also, read: Sridevi funeral live updates: Fans and industry to pay their last respects to the Bollywood actor at her home)
In what looks like an obvious attempt to garner easy publicity, Rakhi shared a picture of late Sridevi’s dead body on her Instagram account. That shocking image, clearly taken and shared without the late actor's family's consent, has been doing the rounds of the internet. It is shocking how Rakhi could do this without realising the insensitivity of the act. Being a public figure herself, this was something not expected from Rakhi. Though she has always been in the news majorly for wrong reasons and bizarre statements and slamming comments, we would grade this act of hers as the cheapest and nastiest show yet. It seems like she realised the same soon and deleted the post from her account. (Also, read: Grief-stricken fans throng Sridevi's Lokhandwala residence, extra security deployed)
Even earlier on Sunday, when she got to know about the actress’ demise, Rakhi took to Instagram and was seen profusely crying. Though she seemed quite emotional, we wonder which emotional person in their right sense would post a video on Instagram of themselves crying. A picture with a message is still understood, but her video of crying and talking to fans is frankly quite over the top.
Sridevi passed away in Dubai after she had a fainting spell that led to accidental drowning, and 3 days after the tragedy occurred; her mortal remains were brought to India last night. Her last rites took place at around 3:30 pm at Pawan Hans crematorium in Mumbai this evening. The late actress is survived by her husband Boney Kapoor and daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor.

And while Bollywood mourns the loss of a gem, we pray that our Chandani attains moksha and becomes a forever dazzling star in the sky.

Addiction treatment incorporates a full and complete lifestyle change. This includes everything from diet to exercise habits, common hangouts and any bad influences. Holistic addiction treatment targets a patient’s mind, body and soul for a deeper and longer-lasting recovery.
Redefine Yourself in Holistic Addiction Treatment
Over 43 percent of drug and alcohol addicts are also suffering from a mental disorder of some kind. In most cases, it’s these mental health issues that have led patients to substance abuse. In many other situations, a traumatic experience can lead people to abuse drugs and alcohol as a means of coping, eventually leading to addiction. Our goal at Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches is to identify and treat these addiction causes first and then manage any lingering addiction issues.
Address the Root Causes of Your Addiction
In our holistic addiction treatment program, patients are treated using therapies such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), light-sound neurotherapy (LSN) and psychoanalysis. These methods focus on isolating thought patterns and the negative associations patients have connected to them. This allows our therapists to assist patients in changing their habits in behavior, learning new methods of coping and moving past traumatic events.
Our addiction specialists will administer group and individual therapy sessions to continue educating patients on the steps they need to take to change their priorities and lifestyle.
- Get in touch with your spirituality
- Learn healthier habits
- Improve your physical health through exercise and nutritional counseling
- Explore new hobbies and talents
- Gain greater mental clarity and stability through meditation
- Find inner peace and raise your self confidence
- Raise your chances for long-term success
Learn to Live Drug and Alcohol Free
One of the most difficult parts of any failed rehabilitation effort is watching a patient give up on treatment. They feel trapped in a cycle that always ends with them abusing one substance or another, helpless to change their behavior. We’ve successfully worked with thousands of patients who have utilized holistic therapies to reinvent themselves in a life of sobriety.
Repair the mental, physical and spiritual damage caused by drug and/or alcohol addiction. Holistic addiction treatment helps heal the whole person, rather than just focusing on the effects of addiction. If you have any questions or would like to get started, contact us today at (888) 432-2467.

A New Study Confirms TFT is Effective in Relieving Odontophobia (Dental Fear)
A dentist and TFT practitioner in Saudi Arabia recently shared the following article with me for our TFT community. It is just another confirmation of what Dr. Callahan found to be true over 30 years ago. TFT is effective for relieving fears and phobias.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the moderating effect of Thought Field Therapy (TFT) on dental fear and to compare this therapy with other non-medical fear-reduction methods.
Materials and Methods: We enrolled 160 Saudi women who had presented to King Saud University College of Dentistry Primary Clinics for restorative dental treatment. The participants were randomly assigned into four groups of 40, each of which was subjected to a different fear management treatment: TFT; Tell, Show, and Do (TSD) technique; Control Shift (CS); or negative control (NG) in which no fear-reduction method was used. Each participant completed a pre-operative questionnaire and a post-operative questionnaire immediately after the dental procedure. Both questionnaires measured dental fear, pulse rate, and blood pressure. Data were collected and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program.
Results: The dental fear survey score for the tested sample was 44/100, indicating moderate dental fear. The TFT group showed significantly low dental fear (p < 0.05) after treatment, whereas the TSD and Control Shift groups showed significantly high blood pressure and pulse rate (p < 0.05). Approximately 65% of patients in the TFT group would recommend this method to reduce fear; 57% patients in the TSD groups were satisfied, and 55% of patients in the Control Shift group were satisfied. Only 25% of patients in the negative control group were satisfied (25%).
Conclusion: TFT was more effective than both TSD and CS in reducing dental fear.

Often hailed as the “Brooklyn of Rome,” Pigneto’s gritty charm, colourful streets, and thriving cultural scene have made it a must-visit destination for travellers seeking an authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience.
A Historical Perspective
To truly understand Pigneto’s emergence as a hipster hideaway, we must delve into its rich history. Pigneto’s roots trace back to ancient Rome when it was a working-class district known for its vineyards and orchards.

PRYOR, OK —
Chouteau Fire Department got nothing but yes votes at the Chouteau Board of Trustees meeting Monday.
The department's night began with the receipt of a $3,527.13 grant from Cherokee Nation. The funds will go directly to the Special Fire Fund.
The department requested purchasing new Bunker Gear from Casco. The total amount requested for this purchase is $4,487. Chouteau Fire Chief Ted Key said the department is purchasing three coats, three pants and some miscellaneous gear items.
“We need about 10 sets total, but we like to do it a little bit at a time, as we can afford it,” said Key. “This grant worked out perfectly.”
The funding for the bunker gear came from a grant from the State of Oklahoma.
The department requested purchasing Firehouse Software, a records management program, for $3,360.
“This software essentially keeps up with what we do on a daily basis,” said Key, who compared the purchase to a business buying accounting software.
The Firehouse Software website says it is the “only software developed from the ground up to integrate seamlessly with every detail of your emergency operation, paperwork included. From the initial call to the final report and everything in between.”
The software does performance measurements, manages cost recovery efforts and coordinates day to day operations. It will streamline the daily operations of the department, optimizing each firefighter’s time.
The board approved promoting Assistant Fire Chief Billy Wishard from hourly to salary pay.
The board accepted Tiffany Soap, Kyle Grossman, Nicholas Jensen and Nate Cooper as volunteer firefighters.
The department has been actively trying to recruit quality volunteers for some time.

Poor sleep habits are often a harbinger to atrial fibrillation, and an important study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine noted that increased severity of sleep apnea closely correlated with atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias. ReactDx presents the following information to inform its clients of the latest research and findings in the cardiovascular field and show how an ECG monitor may aid in assessing heart function for apneic patients.
Two types of sleep apnea were compared in this research, which followed older men experiencing apneic episodes: obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. Of the two, it was determined that the most common form of apnea, obstructive sleep apnea, was associated with increased ventricular events. Central sleep apnea occurs with lesser frequency and is closely correlated with atrial fibrillation.
Obstructive sleep apnea is defined as declining oxygen levels due to disrupted breathing, which in turn stimulate the sympathetic nervous system to respond. It was noted that half of all patients who experienced atrial fibrillation also suffer from obstructive sleep apnea. This close correlation is stronger than the incidence of atrial fibrillation with any other risk factor.
Researchers believe the tie between sleep apnea and high levels of C-reactive protein are responsible for the increased prevalence of cardiac arrhythmia since C-reactive protein is an inflammatory marker for the presence of heart disease. Moreover, patients with obstructive sleep apnea are more likely to experience atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion than patients who do not suffer from any form of apnea. The tie is even stronger when the patient in question is obese.
Although this study followed older men experiencing apneic episodes, researchers believe the results will apply to women and men much younger than those studied. The study also evaluated specific types of apnea; while many studies focused on extreme forms of sleep apnea comparing them to patients without apneic episodes, very few focused on middle-of-the-road sleep apnea. Confirmation between sleep apnea and cardiac arrhythmia was significantly strengthened.
In previous studies, researchers evaluated patients with very severe sleep apnea compared with asymptomatic patients. In this study, those in the middle sleep apnea spectrum were studied and the progressive nature of the sleep apnea-arrhythmia relationship was confirmed.
Ongoing research is giving physicians a more thorough understanding of causes and triggers of heart disease. If you have patients with sleep apnea, it may be wise to suggest the wearing of a portable ECG monitor from ReactDx to determine whether your patient has similar findings. Call ReactDx at 800-23-HEART (800-234-3278) to speak with one of our representatives, and read our blogs for more information pertaining to the latest in cardiovascular findings.

I’ve talked about John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars (way too) many times since I started this blog in October, so you can probably imagine how much I was looking forward to the film. While the early posters said it was coming out on June 6 in the Netherlands, just like in the United States, I found out a few monhts ago it won’t come out until July 10. Disappointment galore. Waiting another month is long, people!
Then, about two weeks ago, I found out via the Dutch TFiOS Facebook page that they were going to host a few screenings of the film on the 26th and 27th of June throughout the country. Including one in my town! I immediately bought two tickets and last week me and my friend went to see this long anticipated film. I was excited, but, honestly, quite anxious as well. Film adaptations usually tend to be disappointing, but I did have high hopes for TFiOS because of everything I’d read about it and everything John Green said.
It was amazing.
While there were a few tiny bits and bobs (mainly phrasings) I didn’t particularly like, overall this film hugely exceeded my expectations.
Firstly, let’s take a minute to talk about the casting. Shailene Woodley is the perfect Hazel. I can’t imagine anyone else playing her and everything she did just fit. John Green has said a few times that Shailene is his Hazel, and I can now finally completely see why. You know how sometimes you think an actor kind of fits their role, but you’re a bit bummed you’ll now never again be able to picture the character the “right” way when you’re reading the book? Definitely not the case for TFiOS. Shailene is Hazel, and I’m more than fine with that.
And then there’s Ansel Elgort… For me, he is the perfect Augustus, mainly because of this little smirk he always seems to wear on his face. I fell in love with Gus when I read the book, and the same thing happened when I was watching the film (though not exactly in a fangirl-y way). Again; it just fits. I can see why Ansel takes a bit more getting used to for others, though, but I think that mainly has to do with the character itself.
While the excellent, excellent, casting undoubtedly has something to do with it, the way the makers of the film stayed true to the book is almost unbelievable. It had the same feel the book did, which is quite rare to find in a film adaptation, I think. They took a lot of lines literally from the book, which was very nice overall, but in some places felt a little bit awkward as well.
The only thing I thought really didn’t work in the film as opposed to the book was the cigarette metaphor. You know, the putting the killing thing in your mouth but not giving it the power to actually kill you? I thought that was really poetic and cool in the book, but to see it happen on screen somehow didn’t seem right.
That didn’t in any way lessen my enthusiasm though. This is by far the best film adaptation I’ve seen (of a book I’ve actually read, that is). I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting this on dvd as soon as it comes out, although I have no idea if I’ll actually watch it that often. You see, this film is absolutely beautiful and very funny, but it’s also just as heartbreaking and gut-wrenching as the book. We left the theatre quite disoriented, with tears smudged all over our faces
and a huge need for some alcohol.
