So, in the work that I'm doing with the Tolkien manuscripts here at Marquette I came across something I thought I'd share.
I'm now working my way through the various drafts of The Taming of Smeagol (what became the opening chapter of LotR Book IV) and was looking at a semi-legible passage transcribed by Christopher Tolkien (HME VIII.98 Note 5 point 2), who was able to read almost but not quite all of a note Tolkien wrote himself about Bombadil and the Ring. Thanks to the new high-resolution scans of all the manuscript pages, with the ability to zoom in and enlarge (and rotate) the text, today I was able to puzzle it out. Here's the text as printed by Christopher:
Tom could have got rid of the Ring all along [?without
further] ....... —if asked!
The missing word is bother(TS I.1):
Tom could have got rid of the Ring all along [without further]
bother —if asked!
I have to stress that I was only able to work this out due to Christopher's already having provided the two difficult words without and further, and the ability to greatly enlarge the original without distortion or losing focus. As they say, on the shoulder of giants.
So, another small piece of the puzzle for those who, like me, are happy with a new addition to our knowledge of Tolkien, however minor. Enjoy!

Nickel and Dimed and the Working Poor
In this book review we were asked to read Nickel and Dimed by Ehrenich and The Working Poor by Shipler. After reading the two books throughout the first half of the semester I would like to answer; the reactions the readings gave to me. What impact did the books have on my thinking? Also describe the experiences of the people that are in the readings closely resembling myself. I would also like to answer what I have learned in how this material impacts social policy and lastly which of the two books I enjoyed the most.
1. Discuss your reaction to reading these books.
My reaction to reading each book was very different for each reading. The Working Poor by Shipler seemed to me to be not as personal to the writer as Nickel and Dimed by Ehrenich was. I understand that The Working Poor was personal as will but the writer was writing about personal stories from other individuals, looking from outside the box and then talking about someone else’s stories with his own words. I would have to say that reading Nickel and Dimed was a lot more interesting and was a bit more personal from the writer’s views. Ms. Ehrenich was willing to get down to the behind the scenes action in her reactions from other people that think she is like everyone else in the workforce. 2. What impact did each book have on your thinking?
In Ehrencih book it was hard to understand how people can work such low paying jobs. When she was visiting Maine and working with the other employees she found herself having to breaks the rules of her arrangement and calls in a prescription from a dermatologist. The other people that she works with don’t have that kind of luxury and ability. That’s where I find it interesting that people like Holly a fellow employer have no choice but to work every day even if they fell sick, she explains to Ehrenich that she believes she is pregnant but had no choice and most continue to work, or her husband would be upset at her. It’s also very understanding how people are afraid to leave there jobs for new ones because people have to worry about bills every week, and how they just can’t afford to look for a new job because they are afraid of not being able to pay the bills for the week.
In Shipler book I think the biggest impact the book gave to me is that it opened my eyes to thinking like what I believe is how a lot of people thought that the government gives too many handouts to people and that if they cut back a little it would motivate people to work a little harder. But in most cases it’s not always like that people who depend on welfare tend to get the welfare taken from them if they decide to try to better their work environment. 3. What experiences of the people described in the books did you most identify with and why?
I would have to say the person that I most identified with is Christie a women in The Working Poor where she was pretty much punished for taking a training course that would have raised her pay ten cents an hour, it was awful to think because she wanted to take advantage of the extra pay she lost about ten dollars in food stamp benefits that she would get a month. The comparison for the extra training only equaled to and extra six dollars a month, so again Christie was being punished for trying to make a little extra money. It was horrible to learn also that the after school program that her children would attain had service charges that would accumulate every five minutes that the parent was late picking up the children. It added to her struggle knowing that she could no longer be able to take the children to the after school program because she could not pay the late fee.
I’m not too sure way I could relate to the struggle Christie went through when Shilpher was describe her in the reading. It just reminded me of when I first decide to attain college when I got out of the military. I was never able to apply...

Turkey has been governed by Justice and Development Party (AK Party) governments for 15 years. Not everyone remembers the magnitude of the crisis in 2000 when a military intervention was tacitly realized, two leading political parties were excluded from Parliament and subsequent governments were pillaging the country's resources. Corrupt governments backed by military tutelage stole $60 billion of Turkey's wealth. As civilian politicians were incompetent in resolving the ongoing crisis, Kemal Derviş, an employee of the World Bank, pulled the Turkish economy together like a colonial governor. What is worse, the wealth accumulated during the Welfare Party-True Path Party government was also depleted by the succeeding corrupt government. The Cabinet could not meet regularly and the treasury secretary unsuccessfully attempted suicide in the face of treason and bankruptcy.
Coming to power in 2002, AK Party governments have restored Turkey's competitive power in the international economic realm. Yet military tutelage had been in its heyday to such an extent that many expected a military intervention. Dozens of politicians had been waiting their turn after an eventual fall of the AK Party government by military intervention.
Until the general elections of June 17, 2011, the AK Party government governed the state in a strongly despite all odds. Yet, as Recep Tayyip Erdoğan become Turkey's president and withdrew from the leadership of the AK Party, the default settings of the ruling party were broken. Partly due to disharmony between Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu and President Erdoğan, the government began to make serious mistakes on such issues as the PKK, the Syrian civil war and elsewhere.
Turkey's political situation after the general elections of June 17 echoed the political crisis of the early 2000s. The AK Party put an end to the escalation of the crisis by forming a minority government and holding an early election. More importantly, Erdoğan directly took the government in hand by terminating the present double-headedness of the state. As opposed to the previous government, experienced Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım began to pursue a prudent policy by developing harmonious relations with the presidency.
Meanwhile, Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli's pro-government attitude began to crystalize following the attempted coup of July 15, 2016. During this gloomy time, terrorist organizations – most notably Daesh, the PKK and the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ) – intensified attacks to such an extent that the territorial integrity of Turkey was brought up for discussion. In this respect, Erdoğan's public statements on the Lausanne Treaty constituted in a challenge to any attempt to violate Turkey's territorial integrity by pointing to its capacity to regain its former losses.
Thanks to the formation of the new AK Party government, an unrelenting struggle has been launched and successfully sustained against these terrorist organizations. Started by the MHP's support, Turkey has realized the transformation from a parliamentarian to presidential system.
Today, the alliance between the AK Party and the MHP for the upcoming presidential election in 2019 demonstrates that the stability of the AK Party government will ensure the stability of the country. Such an alliance will also constructively influence Turkish foreign policy. In fact, the AK Party-MHP alliance will ensure stability and growth.


Staff Whoops! Ambulance Down
Christian Hazel was trying to multitask, doing four things at once (none of them very well), when he dropped his 1953 M-170 ambulance on its side while removing all the wheels to have new tires installed. Instead of grabbing the good jackstands out of the storage shed, Christian tried to make due with some Playskool “my first jackstand” set up front. As the passenger-rear was jacked up to remove the last wheel, the driver-front jackstand slid and the Jeep came down with a thud. The windshield frame grabbed a retaining wall and stopped it from completely going over.

The other day, our brilliant neighbours phoned to ask us if we would like the half a bottle of 2015 Castelforte Amarone della Valpolicella – left over from the evening before – that they weren’t going to drink.
Us? Drink red wine? Naaaah! But, just to do them a favour, we said yes.
We decided we’d serve it with roast chicken. Then, yesterday, after T had just watched Jamie Oliver’s “Quick and Easy Food” (Series Two, Episode Three: Sea Bass & Chicken Surprise), he announced that we had to go out to get some red and green grapes, and a bottle of vermouth for making last night’s roast chicken dinner.

As to sake made from rice harvested in another prefecture, I somehow hesitate to call it Tokyo sake, but if there is one made from Tokyo rice, I am pleased to recognize it as Tokyo sake without reserve.
-- "Haramine no Izumi (two bottles on the left) and Shiboritate Nama Genshu Kamekuchi" --
It is when I was thinking of Tokyo sake in that way that I encountered an article of the mail magazine issued by Ishikawa Brewery, which is brewing Tamajiman sake. The article said that they were selling sake named Haramine no Izumi at the sake shop on their premises.
The article read -- "To make this sake, they irrigate natural water springing from the Sekido area in Tama City, commonly known as "Haramine no Sato," into the paddies, and give ducks free run of the paddies to have them eat harmful insects instead of using agricultural chemicals. The rice harvested in this way is used to make koji rice (koji-mold cultivated rice). Meanwhile, they also grow another variety of rice in the Ichinomiya and Wada areas close to the Tama River. This rice is used as kake rice (steamed rice to be added in the fermentation tank during the moromi process). Both of the rice varieties are milled down to 50% of the original weight. Being made from these rice varieties, this sake is genuine 'Sake of the Tama Area (a western area of Tokyo).'"
According to the article, the sake shop was selling only the limited number of 200 bottles. I thought I had to go and get this sake by all means, and drove the car to the shop and bought two bottles Wednesday.
The sake, brewed from Tokyo rice and Tokyo water by Tokyo brewers, is genuine Tokyo sake. I could finally get it. The caps of these bottles are still intact. I am looking forward to the day I will open the caps and enjoy this sake with friends.
Tamajiman Shiboritate Nama Genshu Kamekuchi (Ishikawa Brewery)
This sake is bottled each time a customer buys this sake in the liquor shop on the premises of Ishikawa Brewery. Only this shop sells this sake during a limited period of this season. I purchased one bottle of this sake (the rightmost bottle in the photo above) when I got Haramine no Izumi there. Being non-diluted sake, the sake contains relatively much alcohol, but it is difficult to stop drinking this sake because of the rich flavor and pleasant palate.

Electricity Essay — Its Shortage and Suggestions for overcoming it Article shared by As a result of the drought inthe Indian economy received a severe jolt. All of a sudden it was reported that there was acute power-famine. There was a wide gap between demand for electricity and its supply. Power cuts were imposed for long periods.
Frequent famines[ edit ] Famines in India were very frequent during the period s to s. Due to faulty distribution of food, and because farmers did not receive the true value for their labour, the majority of the population did not get enough food.
They took loans from landlordswho charged high rates of interests and also exploited the farmers later on to work in their fields to repay the loans farm labourers.
Government also helped those under loans. Lack of self-sufficiency[ edit ] Due to traditional agricultural practices, low productivity, and a growing population, often food grains were imported — draining scarce foreign reserves.
It was thought that with the increased production due to the Green Revolution, the government could maintain buffer stock and India could achieve self-sufficiency and self-reliability. Hence, the need was felt to encourage the farmers to increase their production and offer a greater portion of their products for sale in the market.
The new methods in agriculture increased the yield of rice and wheat, which reduced India's dependence on food imports. Criticisms[ edit ] Indian Economic Sovereignty[ edit ] Criticism of the effects of the green revolution include the cost for many small farmers using HYV seeds, with their associated demands of increased irrigation systems and pesticides.
A case study is found in India, where farmers are buying Monsanto BT cotton seeds—sold on the idea that these seeds produced 'natural insecticides'.
In reality, they need to still pay for expensive pesticides and irrigation systems, which might lead to increased borrowing to finance the change from traditional seed varieties. Many farmers have difficulty in paying for the expensive technologies, especially if they have a bad harvest.
Indian environmentalist Vandana Shiva writes that this is the "second Green Revolution". The first Green Revolution, she suggests, was mostly publicly funded by the Indian Government.
Ultimately, this is leading to foreign ownership over most of India's farmland. It has caused over-use of soil and rapidly depleted its nutrients.
The rampant irrigation practices have led to eventually soil degradation. Groundwater practices have fallen dramatically. Further, heavy dependence on few major crops has led to loss of biodiversity of farmers.
These problems were aggravated due to absence of training to use modern technology and vast illiteracy leading to excessive use of chemicals. The villages or regions without the access of sufficient water were left out that widened the regional disparities between adopters and non-adopters.
Since, the HYV seeds technically can be applied only in land with assured water supply and availability of other inputs like chemicals, fertilizers etc. The application of the new technology in the dry-land areas is simply ruled out.

…and who can blame them? It’s a complete disaster.
From the DC:
Eighty-three percent of American physicians have considered leaving their practices over President Barack Obama’s health care reform law, according to a survey released by the Doctor Patient Medical Association.
The DPMA, a non-partisan association of doctors and patients, surveyed a random selection of 699 doctors nationwide. The survey found that the majority have thought about bailing out of their careers over the legislation, which was upheld last month by the Supreme Court.
Even if doctors do not quit their jobs over the ruling, America will face a shortage of at least 90,000 doctors by 2020. The new health care law increases demand for physicians by expanding insurance coverage. This change will exacerbate the current shortage as more Americans live past 65.
By 2025 the shortage will balloon to over 130,000, Len Marquez, the director of government relations at the American Association of Medical Colleges, told The Daily Caller.
“One of our primary concerns is that you’ve got an aging physician workforce and you have these new beneficiaries — these newly insured people — coming through the system,” he said. “There will be strains and there will be physician shortages.”
The survey can be found here.
I think that there are more obvious reasons for Doctors to hate Obamacare that aren’t mentioned in this article. Not only will there be yet another layer of bureaucracy between the patient and doctor, if the federal government begins controlling costs, the wages of doctors will necessarily go down. Suddenly, becoming a doctor will not seem so appealing to the brightest and best among us. Consequently, just like any other good or service, the quality of medical care will go down because of it. There’s no way around it. We must repeal Obamacare. Not just parts of it, all of it.

CrowdCare Founder and Patient Advocate Jenny Ahlstrom Says Patient Access to Data is the Key to Curing Disease
SALT LAKE CITY, UT – March 9, 2020 – The CrowdCare Foundation, a patient-driven, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that empowers patients with rare diseases at each step of their disease journey, today pledged its support for the Interoperability Rules finalized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The rules require healthcare providers to grant patients free access to their own electronic health records and make it easier to coordinate patient care among facilities.
"We started the CrowdCare Foundation as a means to empower patients with the resources they need to treat their disease, and the new rules finalized by HHS today do just that," said Jenny Ahlstrom, founder of the CrowdCare Foundation. "When I was first diagnosed in 2010 with multiple myeloma, a rare form of blood cancer, I realized how difficult it was to navigate my own health records and treatment options. That’s why we have since launched HealthTree®, an online platform for multiple myeloma that aggregates patient-contributed, anonymous data in order to help patients find their best treatment options and accelerate research towards a cure. There is no stakeholder that’s in a better position to aggregate data and accelerate research than the patient. Patients need information, and they need it now; in many cases their lives depend on it."
The Interoperability Rules, which were first proposed on February 11, 2019, were finalized today. This past January a group of approximately 60 U.S. health systems signed a letter opposing the Interoperability Rules, citing concerns over patient privacy. Despite this opposition, the HHS has pushed the rules forward for patients.
"Patients today need to sign multiple forms before they get access to their own health records," said Ahlstrom. "Obtaining those records is not an easy process, and then the data doesn’t come in a usable format. Companies making claims about patient privacy are concerned with protecting their own businesses, not curing diseases. If we are serious about curing cancer and other terminal diseases, then it is time we get serious about giving value back to the patient – value in the form of information. We stand behind the HHS and believe that this decision is an imperative first step in empowering patients and pushing research forward."
HealthTree is free to myeloma patients. For more information, visit www.HealthTree.org.
New rules were from two federal agencies - one from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and the other from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
According to the HHS:
The two rules … implement interoperability and patient access provisions of the bipartisan 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act) and support President Trump’s MyHealthEData initiative. MyHealthEData is designed to empower patients around a common aim - giving every American access to their medical information so they can make better healthcare decisions.

The number of felony cases opened in Circuit Court statewide continued its steady upward march last year, while the number of felony cases opened in Milwaukee County rose 5 percent, but still did not hit the total opened in the peak years of 2011 and 2012, according to state court statistics.
Gov. Tony Evers is proposing to grant $30-an-hour pay hikes followed by automatic pay increases to private attorneys who accept State Public Defender appointments to represent poor defendants in court cases, according to the governor’s budget proposal.
“Wisconsin has the lowest reimbursement rate for private bar attorneys that represent indigent criminal defendants,” the budget notes. “Under our system of due process, everyone has a constitutional right to legal representation yet the low reimbursement rate has caused major concerns as to whether all Wisconsinites are being properly represented.”
The proposed budget would increase from $40 per hour to $70 per hour paid to the private attorneys. The increase would take effect Jan. 1, 2020. After that, the amount paid would be adjusted to reflect inflation.
Attorney Kori Ashley will be the guest speaker at the March 27 Wisconsin Justice Initiative Salon. Ashley is the first lawyer the City of Milwaukee retained to represent indigent defendants in Milwaukee Municipal Court. Her position is new, needed, and funded for only a limited time. Join us to learn about this lawyer’s adventures in Milwaukee Municipal Court.
The Salon will be at noon on Wednesday, March 27, at Riverfront Pizzeria, 509 E. Erie St. A lunch buffet will be available. The buffet will include a pasta dish, pizza, salad, and garlic bread. Vegetarian options will be available. The cost of the buffet is $14. Please make your reservation by 5 p.m. Monday, March 25. (Sorry, no refunds for cancellations made after that time.)
The Milwaukee Bar Association is hosting two moderated community forums featuring the candidates running for the Wisconsin Supreme Court (Brian Hagedorn and Lisa Neubauer) and Milwaukee County Circuit Court Branch 40 (Andrew Jones and Danielle Shelton).
Attendees will have a chance to ask questions and become more informed on each candidate in preparation for the election. Both events are FREE and open to the general public. No RSVP necessary.

The Trump administration wants applicants for federal jobs and contractor positions to divulge whether they have gone through diversion programs such as drug courts that are meant to help people avoid prison.
But critics say the move undermines the whole idea of sentencing alternatives that are designed to keep permanent blemishes off participants’ records, avoiding negative background checks that can limit jobs, housing and education.

Above the Law: California attorney general says journalists broke the law by getting, via open records, a list of convicted officers.
Reason: The lingering stench of marijuana prohibition.
Alcohol prohibition lasted 14 years. Marijuana prohibition has been with us almost six times as long. Police have arrested people for violating it about 20 million times in the last three decades alone. Many of those people were ultimately convicted of felonies that sent them to prison, although the vast majority were charged with simple possession and spent little or no time behind bars. Either way, marijuana offenders have had to contend with the lingering effects of a criminal record, which can shape people’s lives long after they complete their sentences.
Depending on the jurisdiction and the classification of the offense, people who were caught violating marijuana laws may lose the right to vote, the right to own a gun, the right to drive a car (for up to a year), the right to live in the United States (for noncitizens), and the right to participate in a wide variety of professions that require state licenses. They may find it difficult to get a job, rent an apartment, obtain student loans, or travel to other countries. They may even be barred from coaching kids’ sports teams or volunteering in public schools.
The employment consequences can be explicit, as with state laws that exclude people convicted of felonies from certain lines of work, or subtle, as with private businesses that avoid hiring people who have criminal records, possibly including arrests as well as convictions, because of liability concerns. “There is no limit to how much you can discriminate against a person with a criminal record,” observes Douglas Berman, a sentencing expert at The Ohio State University’s Moritz College of Law.
ABA Journal: Judge decries attacks on press as he dismisses libel lawsuit.
U.S. District Judge Mark Walker of the Northern District of Florida ruled Wednesday against University of Florida horticulture professor Kevin Folta in an opinion that criticizes politicians’ attacks on the news media. The Tallahassee Democrat has coverage.
“Given the current climate, it is important to recognize the critical nature of the privilege and the necessity of its expansive application,” Walker wrote. “Today’s environment has created a unique prism for defamation actions and the protections intended to ensure a free press. When politicians plan to ‘open up our libel laws,’ and then after winning elections, continue to pummel the press and decry anything unflattering as ‘fake news,’ it is clear that the Fourth Estate is under attack.”

Henry VIII's great seal
Charles Cruickshank's 'Army Royal' or 'Henry VIII's invasion of France' depending which publishing you can get hold of is perhaps the most in depth single source, after that from a gamers perspective there is then the Osprey men at arms 'Henry VIII's Army'.
Whilst these are good, particularly the former, I've learned to use them as a guide, articles which can set the scene and give you a feel for the subject but not as absolute sources, for that you've got to go to the original documents and this campaign is perhaps one of the first in English history where a great deal of such items have survived and not only that, they've been catalogued, transcribed and archived and you can view them online, for no charge, here;
Letters & Papers, foreign & domestic
Here you'll find day by day accounts, building up the bigger picture of the campaign as it happened, preparations, nobles and their retinues, pay, equipment, troop numbers, mercenaries, details of engagements with the enemy, diplomacy and so on.
They're written in old English so it's not bed time reading but you can very easily get the pieces of information that you need. Not long after I discovered this source I found myself questioning quite a lot of what I'd read and understood about Henry's army at this time as well as realising perhaps why this army is ignored or just treated as a facsimile of the force which fought at Flodden.
One of the first things I did was to re-write the army list I was using as it meant almost nothing, it felt as though it was written based upon assumption and guesswork - this wasn't a medieval bow and bill army, there were much greater elements to it; the intrigue was that an English renaissance force had never previously been assembled or tested in this manner - i began to draw parallels with the armies of Charles the Bold - this was very much a force of combined arms; bow, bill, pike, shot, artillery,light medium and heavy cavalry, a veritable chess set on paper and a formidable one at that; imagine facing a body of men which can employ artillery, gall you with bow shot, disrupting your formation, then punch you with their own shot, then the tips of their pikes before the bills rush in and cut you to pieces and the cavalry finish the job, it's almost perfect.
The Battle of the Spurs, though known as a cavalry engagement began with longbowmen and light guns disrupting the french gendarmes creating a clear path for the Kings Spears to rush and scatter them to such an extent that they shed armour to better enable their retreat.
I think the real intrigue is that this army was not tested in pitched battle - which is where the hobby comes in - is the fact that there are no comparisons or reference points an issue for the gamer?
Charles' experiments failed him for various reasons and you can see some of these being repeated here, particularly where mercenaries are involved; - the English and their Landsknecht allies just didn't get on and the Burgundian cavalry only joined in the fray where it was absolutely clear that the immediate danger was over. Moreover the skirmishes that 'worked' appeared to be where the English were working together so it's interesting to think how one might replicate that on the gaming table.
This army intrigues me many times over.

Short courses of systemic corticosteroids (SCS), both oral and injectable, are very effective for the resolution of acute asthma symptoms, including exacerbations. However, the benefits of SCS, even short courses, must be balanced against the impact of their side-effects. While the adverse consequences of long-term use are widely recognised, there appears to be a perception in the medical community that short courses of SCS are safe. Limited but growing evidence in the literature suggests that even very brief dosing periods (3–7 days) of SCS are enough to cause significantly negative outcomes for patients. Short courses of SCS are associated with increased risk of adverse events including loss of bone density, hypertension and gastrointestinal ulcers/bleeds, in addition to serious impacts on mental health. Strategies to improve asthma control are recommended, including:
- As-needed combination therapies in mild asthma,
- Risk factor reduction,
- Improving adherence/inhaler technique;
- Earlier initiation of add-on therapies;
- Use of biologics in appropriate patients;
- Development of new therapies to better control the disease; and
- Widespread education of the medical community.
This study proposes that patients and primary care physicians should consider a cumulative SCS dose of 1g per year as a highly relevant and easy-to-recall threshold.

The podium was completed by Brad Binder of KTM, who put on an impressive performance after the mid-season break of MotoGP.
Despite the intense competition, Bagnaia managed to extend his lead in the riders’ standings, benefiting from the misfortune of his closest rival, Marco Bezzecchi, who unfortunately crashed out of the race.
This victory further solidified Bagnaia’s position at the top of the championship rankings.
“It was crazy, I felt super good with the bike,” said Espargaro who continued the race’s tradition of producing a different winner every year since 2013.
Rain began to splatter the circuit late on to add spice to a tense finish with Espargaro timing his decisive move on Bagnaia to perfection.
“The last lap was dramatic!” said the Spaniard who prevailed despite starting from only 12th on the grid.

Before there was the classic animated series The Clone Wars, there was just simply Clone Wars. These days, everyone knows the seven-season, 133-episode series was peak Star Wars, introducing us to iconic characters like Ahsoka Tano. But five years earlier, in 2003, Lucasfilm had another animated show about the prequel-era conflict, animated by Samurai Jack creator Genndy Tartakovsky. Although very short, about three minutes per episode, fans loved the over-the-top kinetic action. As the classic Clone Wars series approaches its 20th anniversary, its creator Genndy Tartakovsky took questions about the series from fans.
Taking questions from Twitter for Wired, Tartakovsky answered the most commonly asked question about Clone Wars. Just why were the episodes so darn short? Well, in the video below, he says George Lucas originally wanted them even shorter, just a minute long. Lucas had been burned letting others handle his baby on TV before. Does anyone remember the Star Wars Holiday Special? But Tartakovsky convinced him to go for a longer runtime. And we’re so glad he did.
In another question, a fan asked how Clone Wars pulled off the 3D animation. Now, Tartakovsky animated his series traditionally, 2D style. But there were some early CGI elements to it, like the ships. Other 2D Cartoon Network shows at the time like Justice League Unlimited also experimented with CGI vehicles. You can hear Tartokovsky talk about the challenges of pioneering 3D animation in Star Wars long before Ahsoka ever picked up a lightsaber down below:
We’d love for Genndy Tartakovsky to tackle another 2D Star Wars cartoon again. Can you imagine a Tartakovsky-style series featuring the original trilogy characters or The Mandalorian? Maybe for a future Star Wars: Visions it could happen. We can dream, right? In the meantime, the entire Clone Wars micro-series is on Disney+. Do yourself a favor and check them out. They may not be canon, but they’re incredible.


Modern data management with real-time Change Data Capture
Data engineers are grappling with surging data volumes while stakeholders increasingly demand real-time decision-making and user-facing features powered by data. This raises a fundamental question: How do you efficiently and quickly track and manage changes in your databases during periods of intense growth? One answer can be found in Change Data Capture (CDC), a technique that captures and routes changes made to a database in real time and sends them to a downstream system.
CDC has emerged as a powerful strategy that ensures all changes to data within a database are automatically captured and propagated to other systems. This automatic tracking reduces the strain on the databases themselves, minimizes latency, and ensures the data delivered is up to date.
This post explores Change Data Capture and its importance in real-time, event-driven architectures.
At Tinybird, we believe that data should be processed as soon as it happens. Period. And we believe that data and engineering teams should use tools uniquely suited to handling and processing that data without adding undue strain to other systems and resources. Change data capture upholds these beliefs, serving an important role within a larger event-driven architecture.
This post explores the concept of real-time change data capture, delving into its definition, architecture, and various techniques. You’ll learn why CDC is important in database and data warehousing environments, the advantages and potential drawbacks of CDC when compared with other real-time data handling methods, and its role in real-time data integration and real-time data analytics.
What is Change Data Capture (CDC)?
Change Data Capture (CDC) is a common method used by data engineers to track changes within a database. It is often used to replicate data from a relational database, like MySQL or PostgreSQL, to a downstream database system for analytical workloads, such as data warehouses like Snowflake, data lakes, or real-time data platforms like Tinybird.
With CDC, you subscribe to the changes in your source system, tracking operations like inserts, updates, and deletes. Each operation is captured and then sent to a downstream system. Where you send the captured data depends on your data pipeline and target workload, but most CDC solutions support a wide range of connectors for pushing data out to various data stores. It is particularly common for CDC solutions to push data out to a message queue, such as Apache Kafka, which makes it easier to handle high-volume changes without worrying about the scalability of the data pipeline.
Change Data Capture tools subscribe to real-time updates from a source system (often a database) and write those changes to downstream systems (often a message queue or data warehouse).
The heart of CDC lies in the transaction log that most application databases produce. In databases like PostgreSQL, this log (known as the Write Ahead Log or WAL) is intrinsic to the database’s architecture. For others, like MySQL, the equivalent 'bin log' is an optional feature that can be activated. Regardless, the premise remains the same - the transaction log is a chronologically arranged, append-only file recording database changes and associated data.
CDC tools monitor this database transaction log file for new entries. Every operation is captured as an event and sent elsewhere. Often, these events are directed towards an append-only event streaming system such as Apache Kafka. The modification operations can then be dispatched into the preferred downstream system like a real-time database or data warehouse.
In event-driven architectures, CDC is a great option for capturing time-sensitive data in near real-time when it is not feasible to modify the application backend and API. Typical log-based CDC avoids placing too much additional load on the source system, which makes it preferable to other CDC methods that might execute queries on the database to read data from the source tables.
But, like anything, it's not without its drawbacks. CDC requires you to introduce new tooling to your stack and, while many CDC tools have been widely adopted, they can still be quite complex. Debezium is perhaps the most popular CDC tool today and has been implemented within other frameworks that abstract some of the complexity, such as Kafka Connect and Apache Flink.
Why is Change Data Capture important?
A major advantage of change data capture for data engineers is its role in enabling real-time data integration. With the accelerating pace of business and its increasing reliance on real-time data, data engineers are frequently tasked with ensuring data is consistently available in near real-time for user-facing applications, automation, and operational analytics. CDC supports this need by streaming changes from the source database to the target systems as they happen. This minimizes latency, keeps data fresh, and improves the accuracy and reliability of downstream systems.
Pros and Cons of Change Data Capture
Change Data Capture (CDC) often has an important role to play within streaming data architectures, but it also introduces challenges that need to be weighed carefully before implementation.
Strengths of Change Data Capture
Let's begin with the strengths:
- Real-time Data Updates: The crux of CDC lies in its ability to offer real-time or near-real-time data updates. This ability allows businesses to stay nimble, adapting to situations as they unfold. Immediate access to changes in source systems - and real-time analytics run on those changes - enables businesses to make more informed decisions promptly, thereby giving them a competitive edge in rapidly evolving market environments.
- Efficiency: CDC significantly reduces the load on source data systems by dealing solely with changed data. Batch ETL workflows initiated by downstream systems, such as data warehouses or orchestrators, place an undue load on the source system in the form of queries that often scan the full table, which can be both time-consuming and resource-intensive. Instead, by focusing only on new or updated data since the last checkpoint, CDC efficiently captures the required change data without touching the source database. This leads to improved overall performance and less strain on the system’s resources.
- Real-time Insights and Automation: With access to fresh data, organizations can make their analytics more precise and meaningful. As CDC offers near-real-time data, it ensures that the analysis and subsequent insights or automation are based on very fresh information. This can lead to more accurate forecasts, better user experiences, stronger strategic planning, and improved business outcomes.
Change Data Capture captures real-time changes at the database or source system without placing a significant load on that system.
Weaknesses of Change Data Capture
Despite its strengths, CDC does create some friction for data engineers who opt for it:
- Complexity: Reading a log file reading is a relatively lightweight operation in terms of CPU and memory, but it still adds an agent process on the server. This new dependency further complicates scaling the application database, as you need to account for how additional traffic will impact the resources required by this agent.
Moreover, it brings in a new technology with which your team might not be acquainted. While CDC tools are widely used, well-documented, and easy to start with, they can become complex to understand as you scale or deviate from the happy path.
- Resource-intensive: Depending on the volume of data changes, CDC can become resource-intensive. While CDC reduces the load on source systems by capturing only changed data, if changes happen very frequently, it will begin to exert pressure on the system’s resources. So, while CDC generally minimizes resource use compared with most alternatives, it still demands care when planning and scaling infrastructure.
- Limited Scope: While many Change Data Capture tools and frameworks have a good variety of source and target connectors, they are still limited by their ability to integrate with other systems. In most cases, the source system is a database, and CDC tools must use a log file or some other mechanism to subscribe to changes. One alternative, event-driven approach to CDC that offers more flexibility is to modify the backend code and APIs to instead send events directly to an event streaming queue or real-time data platform.
Who benefits from Change Data Capture?
Change Data Capture (CDC) is a key data pipeline technology that, when properly implemented, can shoulder some of the load from various data-intensive roles:
- Database Administrators: CDC simplifies tasks by maintaining data accuracy and synchronization across systems.
- Data Analysts: CDC makes real-time data accessible faster, enhancing the accuracy and timeliness of the business intelligence and real-time analytics systems analysts are trying to build.
- Data Engineers: Without CDC tooling, data engineers would need to build and maintain batch data pipelines that extract data from source systems, analyze it for changes, and load it into downstream systems. With CDC, they have a purpose-built tool that simplifies real-time processing of changes made within a database.
Should you use CDC or ETL for data replication?
CDC and ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) are both data integration approaches used in data replication, but they serve different purposes and have distinct use cases.
ETL is a batch-oriented process that involves extracting bulk data from one or more source systems, transforming it to conform to a target schema, and then loading it into a destination system or data warehouse. ETL processes typically run on a scheduled basis (e.g., daily, hourly) rather than in real time. Due to the potential for higher latency, ETL is more common when the downstream use case doesn’t demand fresh data. This is common for business intelligence and reporting.
ETL is a batch process. It doesn't capture real-time data, and it often places a load on the source system. That said, it can be more flexible than CDC by offering the ability to transform data before propagating it to the downstream system.
Advantages of ETL vs CDC
- Data transformation: By design, change data capture doesn’t modify change operations, favoring precise replication that ensures upstream and downstream systems match. While this is often desirable, there are scenarios where an ETL process may be preferred, especially when downstream systems require a different data schema or format. ETL allows you to perform data cleansing, aggregation, and other data transformations during the process, ensuring the data is in the desired format for analysis or reporting.
- Independence from database logs: ETL doesn't rely on database logs, making it more portable and independent of specific database implementations. CDC tools must rely on source and sink connectors to move data between systems, whereas ETL workflows can often utilize SQL and orchestrators, making them more flexible.
Disadvantages of ETL vs CDC
- Not real-time: ETL processes are typically scheduled in batches, introducing a delay between data changes in the source system and their availability in the target system. When use cases supported by the downstream system demand real-time data, ETL might not be suitable for replication.
- Increased resource usage: Unlike CDC tools, ETL workloads aren’t optimized for capturing change data. What they gain in flexibility, they sacrifice in efficiency. ETL workflows often query source systems directly, processing and transferring larger volumes of data compared to CDC. This generally results in higher costs associated with compute and networking.
Most organizations will use a combination of both CDC and ETL to leverage the advantages of both approaches in different parts of their data integration and replication pipelines. A combination of CDC and ETL can be particularly beneficial to support full database migrations, where ETL can migrate historical data and CDC keeps the two systems in sync until the migration is complete.
Considerations for Real-Time Change Data Capture
Choosing the right Change Data Capture implementation requires an understanding of the use case, workload, and the systems involved. Here’s what you need to think about when adding CDC to your data pipeline.
What is the use case and workload?
CDC tends to be most appropriate for use cases where access to new data is time-sensitive, often because you are moving datasets from a database supporting an application or microservice to another operational or user-facing system.
For example, change data capture might power automated supply chain optimization systems, which need to work with fresh data to ensure that stock levels keep up with customer demand. Or consider a user-facing feature in gaming, where user actions can be analyzed in real time and then fed back into the user’s session, perhaps to show relevant prompts for user activation or to personalize the gaming experience.
For use cases that are not time-sensitive, a more simple batch ETL data replication strategy might be more appropriate.
What mechanism does the source system have to expose change data?
The database transaction log is the most common mechanism for capturing change data capture, but it’s not the only one. Timestamp, snapshot, and trigger-based CDC methods can also be used depending on the source system and its mechanism for exposing change data. Different databases, and different CDC solutions, may have different support for these different CDC methods. You must understand which source systems you will be working with, and research the CDC methods they support.
CDC frameworks like Debezium have wide support for a variety of source databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle database.
However, certain proprietary databases can be more challenging when they don’t play nicely with third-party CDC tools. For example, Oracle sells its own CDC solution for Oracle database (Golden Gate) and has been reluctant to open up its database to third-party solutions. Similarly, though Microsoft has been more supportive of open-source CDC solutions, it also offers custom CDC solutions for SQL Server. Third-party CDC solutions are typically forced to use less feature-rich and efficient methods to extract data, which can pose scalability challenges at high volumes.
Many application databases have built-in mechanisms that support third-party Change Data Capture tools, but some proprietary databases do not.
Does the target system support real-time CDC streams?
Next, consider whether the target system supports a real-time CDC stream natively. Most systems don't, though there are exceptions. Even if your target system does support CDC streams, you may still require an intermediary messaging queue like Kafka.
Kafka serves as a buffer to handle individual events, which can then be integrated into the target system. Kafka exposes a well-known protocol that has wide support in the data ecosystem, so it is more likely for this protocol to be supported by target systems.
Moreover, determine whether your target system supports the update/delete semantics of relational database management systems (RDBMS). Many analytical systems have limited or no support for updates and deletes, which can mean that the target system does not maintain a like-for-like representation of the source system. This can require additional configuration or transformations in the target system, such as deduplicating inserts to simulate updates, or applying a graveyard flag to deleted rows.
As you navigate the challenges of big data and real-time analytics, Change Data Capture (CDC) can be your friend. As a purpose-built solution that’s ideal for capturing changes within application databases or other source systems and routing those to downstream workloads, it can effectively solve a common challenge that data engineers face when building real-time data pipelines.
Of course, CDC doesn’t come without its challenges. It’s a new tool to adopt, and it still adds resource constraints to application infrastructure, which can pose a risk for critical and user-facing applications.
If you're trying to build real-time use cases, or if you're evaluating tools to help you make the shift to event-driven architectures and real-time data processing, you should also consider giving Tinybird a try (it’s free with no time limit).
As a real-time data platform, Tinybird can offer combined benefits that neither CDC nor ETL can handle on their own. With a number of native source connectors, including popular event streaming platforms like Kafka or Confluent, Tinybird easily ingests change data in real time. You can then create real-time transformations using SQL and Materialized Views, and expose your real-time data pipelines to target systems as low-latency, high-concurrency APIs.
1. What is Change Data Capture (CDC)?
Change Data Capture, or CDC, is a method of tracking and recording changes made to the data in a database. This information can be used in many contexts such as ETL (extract, transform, load) processes, event-driven architectures, and real-time analytics.
2. Why is CDC important?
CDC is crucial for maintaining efficient data ecosystems. It ensures immediate access to changes, making data integration more timely and improving the accuracy of analytics and insights.
3. How does Change Data Capture work?
CDC works by monitoring the database for changes. When a change occurs (like an update, delete, or insert operation), the CDC process captures that change and ensures it's reflected in other systems as required. CDC is well-supported for common databases like MongoDB, Postgres, and MySQL.
4. What are the benefits of using CDC?
CDC offers real-time data updates, reduces load on systems by only dealing with changed data, and provides fresh data for analytics, leading to more accurate insights.
5. What are the challenges of using CDC?
Implementing and managing CDC can be complex, requiring deep technical knowledge. Additionally, depending on the volume of data changes, CDC can be resource-intensive.
6. Who can benefit from CDC?
Various roles and industries can leverage CDC. Database administrators can streamline their tasks, data analysts can access up-to-date data for more accurate reports, and industries such as healthcare, finance, and retail can have real-time data updates for improved decision-making processes.
7. Can CDC be used in real-time analytics?
Yes, CDC is often used in real-time analytics or streaming data architectures to provide the most current data for analysis. Where ETL fails to deliver real-time data to analytics systems, CDC pairs nicely with real-time analytics architectures that demand up-to-date data.
8. Is CDC suitable for big data scenarios?
Yes, CDC is particularly beneficial in big data scenarios as it only processes changed data, reducing the resource load. It allows large databases to be updated more efficiently.
9. How do real-time data platforms like Tinybird support CDC?
Real-time data platforms like Tinybird simplify CDC implementation and management by providing a scalable storage and real-time analytics layer to capture change data. By pairing change data with a real-time data platform, data engineers can get the best of CDC and ETL in a well-integrated ecosystem designed for real-time use cases.
10. What is the role of CDC in event-driven architectures?
In event-driven architectures, CDC can provide real-time updates for events. When a change occurs in the data source, an event is generated, which triggers actions in other parts of the system. This way, the entire system can respond in real-time to changes.

The decision was made because the turnaround in the United States, which Columbus has talked about for more than a year, still hasn’t happened. North American revenue fell 12.6 percent to approximately $44 million last year. Coupled with customers holding on purchased, led the company to that action and the suspension of the dividend. “We expect to see a substantial short-term impact on customer demand,” CEO Thomas Honoré said during the webcast. “We started seeing customers holding back.” After-tax profit dropped to about $3 million for 2019, a decline of 78.3 percent from the prior year with the write-down a big factor. Columbus ended last year with approximately $289 million in revenue, a 3-percent increase from 2018. Organic revenue was up by 4 percent The U.S. turnaround includes accelerating the move of customers to the cloud. With new leadership on this continent, “We believe we are now on the right path,” Honoré said. He continued that Columbus “expects to see progress during 2020”. but does not expec to complete a turnaround this year.Last modified on Sunday, 03 May 2020

Sold Out! video/DVD but this is recorded from original broadcast - that's Adrian Rose doing the intro, by the way - so we can greater admire the grinning girls wandering off at 3:25 and Tony Dortie at the end with his back to the still developing action carrying on as if nothing had happened, no acknowledgement from him or the people wanting to get on telly around him, who seem to be nearly the only people left not on the stage. His job is to throw to James, who seem to be on a much grander stage and get to wear shades on stage, everything.
2003: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. All New Top Of The Pops, the Tim Kash-fronted, Andi Peters-produced (with a mission statement to cut down on the music in favour of gossip and interviews, which would somehow prop up the music element of the show) revamp that was supposed to resuscitate the ailing series. It lasted in this form until the following May. Featured were Elton John doing Your Song via satellite and Mis-Teeq and Lisa Maffia doing hit medleys, which is obviously exactly what's required from a chart-based show. Kylie Minogue turned up in a mini-dress that someone had spraypainted over. Maybe it was Blazin' Squad's extras before making their way outside for TOTP's tribute to the Roy Castle tapdance troupe record.

Recording >SLY TUNES
|Desc:||CD REVIEW: ARTIST: Negativland|
Created mostly by member Mark Hosler, the latest album by longtime culture-jamming art pranksters Negativland is more outlandish than mischievous. It bumps and whirs in a stream-of-consciousness style whose only intended design seems to be the production of absurd results. Like some of the music, the lyrics are written using a cut-and-paste method that combines dream journals, advertisements, found poems and even National Geographic articles. As a result, the body of subjects includes unconventional muses such as sharp pencils, upset stomachs, milk, Nixon and the vagina.
The album emanates a curious ether, its sonic plane perforated by the flitting of samples and noises. Although musique-concrète and found-sound techniques are liberally employed (“It’s Not a Critique”), the vast majority of the songs have a structure. It’s still the soundtrack to a bizarro world; it just happens to be pretty listenable for an art album.
You’d think melody would be secondary in their art compositions, but fetching moments are frequent. “Richard Nixon Died Today” carries a majestic tune, “Basketball Plant” revels in ragged lo-fi glory, “Jack Pastrami (Flower Bun)” arches with Man Man theatricality, “Influential You” drifts in pastoral country minimalism and “Pork in the Store” ends in madcap synth-pop.
Overall, the concoction is a bubbling stew of Athens psychedelic folk-pop, Daniel Johnston’s sunny nonsensicality and the Magnetic Fields’ orchestral silliness. This overturned toy chest of idiosyncrasy probably makes sense only to its author. Besides the members of Negativland, no one really lives in this chimerical world. But on a dizzying ride like Thigmotactic, being a tourist in this hyperreality is an experience that’s heady, odd and wondrous.


PARENTS packed in to Ysgol Goronwy Owen in Benllech on Monday night after teachers put forward a motion of no confidence in the school’s headteacher.
It comes after the Welsh teaching union UCAC revealed two weeks ago problems at the school where teachers are working in a "climate of fear". Five teachers at the school are currently on sick leave.
These teachers put forward the motion about headteacher Ann Hughes.
A source at the school said that "personality issues" were the problem.
Anglesey County Council’s interim chief executive Richard Parry Jones told parents that in all his years as director of education he’d never seen a school where problems between staff were this bad.
The meeting, according to a council spokesman, was to "update" parents of the situation.
But parents want to see action "one way or another" as they feel that inertia is affecting their children’s education.
One worried parent told the Mail: "It was packed. There had to be between 70 and 80 of us in there with Mr Jones and officers from the education department.
"There were no teachers, and the headmistress was not there either.
"Mr Jones made it quite clear right at the beginning of the meeting that he would not go in to specifics on the problems, but he did say that in all his experience as director of education he’d never seen such entrenched positions before.
"We are angry and frustrated, it turns out that they (education authority) have known about these problems since August and it’s only now that they are getting around to dealing with things.
"Parents with children in year six, who will be going to secondary school next year, believe that constant disruption to pupils, being taught by various supply teachers, is just having a horrendous effect on their education.
"They feel that our children are falling behind those in other schools.
"Mr Jones did outline an action plan, which was about strengthening communication, discussing staff development and how supply staff are brought in to the school.
"But as the staff are all off ill it’s not been discussed with them yet and it needs to be agreed. If they don’t what then?
"We want action, and it seems to me either the teachers all have to go or the headmistress."
A spokesman on behalf of the Isle of Anglesey County Council said: "The council is aware of the difficult situation at Ysgol Gynradd Goronwy Owen and has been working closely with the school and its Board of Governors.
"Five members of staff are currently absent. The Board of Governors and Interim Chief Executive will hold a meeting with parents only in order to update them regarding the current situation."
Ysgol Goronwy Owen headteacher Ann Hughes refused to comment on the situation and a school spokeswoman said it was "all in the hands of the education department"

Malaysia tightens MM2H expat program requirements
Tough new criteria could deter many well-to-do foreigners and expat retirees.
Malaysia has reopened its Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) scheme, which aims to attract well-to-do foreigners and expat retirees, but with tough new eligibility requirements for income and assets.
Applications for the MM2H program, which has been suspended since July 2020, will be accepted from October "as part of a strategy under the National Economic Recovery to boost the economy" of the Covid-hit nation, said the Secretary-General of Malaysia's Home Ministry.
Under the new MM2H 2021 requirements, applicants must first of all prove they have liquid assets worth MYR1.5 million ($483,000) – a substantial hike from the previous range of MYR350,000-500,000, depending on the applicant's age.
In addition, successful MM2H applications will need to have an offshore income of at least than MYR40,000 ($12,880) per month – a four-fold increase over the previous MYR10,000 monthly income – and must reside in Malaysia for at least 90 days per year.
On top of that, MM2H participants must maintain a fixed deposit account in Malaysia with a balance of MYR1 million ($322,000) from which they can withdraw no more than half during their stay – with those withdrawals only permitted for real estate, health care and the educational fees of any children.
The Secretary-General said the new MM2H requirements for 2021 will also apply to extensions of existing visas issued under the scheme, although "a grace period of a year will be given so that participants can fulfil the new requirements."
However, the revised MM2H 2021 requirements have been criticised as being so stringent that the country risks losing applicants to competing expat retirement programmes in other Asian countries
"One of the factors that makes MM2H attractive to foreign retirees is the cost of living in Malaysia, which is much lower than other developed countries," argues International Real Estate Federation president Datuk Seri Koe Peng Kang.
"They can stretch their lifetime savings further by living here."
"The increase in the qualifying monthly income to MYR40,000 will exclude this huge group of applicants who aspire to have a better quality of living when they retire,” he told Malaysia's The Star.
He also believes the need to show MYR1.5 million in liquid assets will impact many foreigners whose businesses and reserves have been heavily impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

X-ray powder Diffraction is a technique used to determine the crystallographic structure of natural and synthetic materials. A beam of monochromatic (single wavelength) X-rays are focused on to the surface of a finely powdered sample. The X-rays are scattered (diffracted) as they interact with the sample material, the angle of which is characteristic of the crystal lattice of the material analysed. By rotating an X-ray detector around the sample the angle and intensity of the resultant diffracted X-rays can be measured allowing for the identification of the mineral(s) present.
A Siemens D5000 Diffractometer (XRD) theta-2 theta goniometer with a copper anode x-ray tube, fixed slits , monochromator and a forty position sample changer allows phase & mineral identification. DiffracPlus with the search/match option is used to collect and analyse the diffraction data. Quantitative XRD Analysis is performed using either DQUANT or SIROQUANT dependent on the material and standards available.
Powder XRD is used in many areas where the identification of unknown materials is required; these include geological, environmental, material science, biological and industrial applications. Identification of mineral phases is made by comparison to extensive collections of reference data. For the interpretation of single phase material this process can be relatively simple. However, with increasing phases present this can become more complex, particularly with the overlay of one set of crystal peaks on another. It is often necessary to have element chemistry of the sample in order to refine search patterns (typically at the AAC we will suggest that if the chemistry cannot be supplied that we also perform a semi-quantitative XRF analysis.
Powder XRD requires the samples be crushed to a fine powder and the grains randomly distributed when presented to the X-ray beam.

The binding arbitration definition has become more and more common in recent years. Many states have this in their law.
In the past it was fairly rare but today it seems to be more common. When it comes to binding arbitration in the U.S. it’s really important to follow the rules of the court and your client’s lawyers.
Many attorneys today advise their clients to bind their case with an arbitration clause so that it is harder for a jury to find them not guilty. This is a really bad idea. In the State of Pennsylvania, it is the most common law that binding arbitration is allowed. In the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, it is the most common law that the parties have agreed to an arbitration clause. The State of Florida has the same rule in Florida.
Most states allow binding arbitrations. In Pennsylvania, for example, an arbitration clause is a contract that the parties make with the attorney who represents their interests and the arbitrator is a judge. You can’t get a jury trial in a binding arbitration. In the other states, however, you can. This is because binding arbitration is a contractual agreement between the parties. A jury trial is not a contractual agreement.
Arbitration is not a perfect solution for binding arbitration because it is not a perfect solution if you are the party who is suing the other party for the amount you are owed. For example, if you are suing your insurance company for the amount you are owed for your loss, then even if binding arbitration means that your insurance company is bound, you still must get the money you are owed.
Binding arbitration is similar to arbitration, but in binding arbitration, parties agree to try to resolve their disputes over money. For example, a person who is suing to collect on a contract for property damage would be trying to get some money by way of binding arbitration. The person receiving the money would be doing the same thing. It is a form of compromise that is acceptable to both sides.
Binding arbitration is a way for companies to settle disputes with customers. It is sometimes done by the customers themselves, sometimes by service providers. It is a form of compromise that is acceptable to both sides. The company that has the contract to provide the service has an obligation to the customer to settle a dispute if one occurred.
The company that has the contract to provide the service has an obligation to the customer to settle a dispute if one occurred. Most forms of binding arbitration are done using the company’s own website, but there are other methods that don’t require the company to even know the customer exists.
A binding arbitrator is a neutral third party who is appointed by a company to settle disputes. Unlike a mediator or an arbitrator, a binding arbitrator does not have to agree with either party to end the dispute, but instead makes an offer. Companies often assign one or more arbitration attorneys to represent them in the arbitration process.

A water soluble fertilizer is a compound that easily dissolves in water and provides essential nutrient uptake to crops. One of the key positive attributes of water soluble fertilizer is its complete uptake by crops and high absorption rate; without leaving behind any chemical residue that may cause pollution. All types of water soluble fertilizers contain macronutrients - Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potash (K). Apart from N, P, and K; magnesium, calcium, sulfur, copper, and molybdenum are some of micronutrients present in water soluble fertilizer in various compositions. Water soluble fertilizers allow the farmers to choose, with a great amount of precision, the amount of each nutrient that they wish to add to their crops.
Water soluble fertilizers market is driven by the associated advantages which include easy application, uniform distribution of nutrients to the crops, and lower manpower costs. Other positive factors driving the demand of the industry include increasing adoption of micro irrigation systems and wider applications in greenhouses. One of the key restraining factors for water soluble fertilizers market is the high product cost associated with these. Growth is particularly high in emerging countries such as China, India, Israel, and Brazil because of increasing awareness levels on increasing yield, ease of application, and high efficiency of water soluble fertilizers which result in high-quality produce.
The global market for water soluble fertilizers was at $10,083.8 million in 2011 and is expected to reach $14,143.7 million by 2017, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2012 to 2017. Leading manufacturers are focusing on expansion of respective businesses across regions and setting up new manufacturing plants to ramp up production capacities and broaden overall product line. Major industry participants are involved in mergers & acquisitions to penetrate in untapped markets of Asia and Latin America.
