ShutterstockShanghai, along with the rest of China, might soon be getting a little cleaner.
The West has long turned a collective blind eye to China’s human rights abuses, its disregard for democracy, its complicity in the mistreatment of its low-wage workers, its occupation of Tibet, and its environmental sins. By turning that blind eye, we’ve ensured a cheap and steady flow of everything from McDonald’s Happy Meal toys to iPhones and other toxic consumer goods.
But something remarkable has been happening of late: China’s despotic leaders seem to be working to clean up the country’s environmental practices.
In February, the leaders announced they would introduce a carbon tax and new pollution discharge fees.
Also last month, China finally came clean and admitted to the existence of so-called cancer villages. “The toxic chemicals [used in China but banned elsewhere] have caused many environmental emergencies linked to water and air pollution,” the country’s environment ministry acknowledged in a landmark report.
The guidelines call on companies to follow local environmental laws, assess the environmental risks of their projects, minimize the impact on local heritage and draft plans for handling emergencies.
Zambia last week revoked the license of a Chinese-owned coal mine in the south of the country after violations of safety and environmental laws. In Myanmar, construction of a $3.6 billion hydropower plant by a venture between China Power Investment Corp., Myanmar’s Ministry of Electric Power-1 and a local private company was halted after the project drew the criticism of environmentalists and local residents protested.
China’s largest oil companies have announced plans for billions of yuan of upgrades after air pollution in the Chinese capital hit hazardous levels on 20 days in January. China Petrochemical Corp. Chairman Fu Chengyu said in an interview with state broadcaster China Central Television last month that the nation’s biggest refiner would spend about 30 billion yuan [$4.8 billion] a year to upgrade its plants to produce cleaner fuel.
So far, this is all mostly talk. But if China carries through with these and other pledges, it may soon have fewer environmental sins that we would need to overlook. That should make it even easier for us to turn a collective blind eye to its human rights abuses, its disregard for democracy, its complicity in the mistreatment of its low-wage workers, and its occupation of Tibet.

Finally got rid of the million dollar printer. I bought it about ten years ago when wide-format printers were really expensive and there was only one available. I didn’t know ten years ago that a printer like that would not only go down in price but there would be a lot more to choose from, all with better features.
When one ink cartridge would run out of ink the printer wouldn’t print. So if the magenta cartridge was empty, I couldn’t print a thing, not even with black ink. And the cartridges were tiny. The amount of ink inside them had to be minuscule. So I was forever running to Office Depot for more ink cartridges. And while there would inevitably decide that “while I’m there I should stock up on the ink cartridges.” The bill would top $100. For ink.
Today I was going to a birthday party for a friend who just turned 80. She was a neighbor in the old “hood”. A few childhood friends would be there. I scrambled through some old photo albums and came up with a great print that I knew one of my friends would love to have. It was a picture of my family standing next to her grandfather, in Pennsylvania, in 1970. We were neighbors here in Texas. So the photo is a little unusual. I scanned it. Printed it. Ink smears all over the paper. Globs of ink smears. So I cleaned the cartridge heads, and ran a cartridge check, etc. Everything looked good. I printed again. White lines through the faces. This time the printer sends me a message that there are parts that need to be services inside the machine. That’s nice, I thought, and proceeded to go through the head-cleaning process again. This time all the lights were blinking and it was frozen. Nothing.
That was it. I will not spend another dime on this printer. However, it was full of cartridges (there are nine) that if I return them to Office Depot, they will credit my account two dollars a piece. The machine was frozen. I couldn’t get to the cartridges. So I tossed it off the balcony.

After the Trader Joe’s spoof, I didn’t think I’d be spotting tikis on “The Simpsons” for awhile. But I was proved wrong by the episode “A Totally Fun Thing that Bart Will Never Do Again,” which aired on April 29.
The Simpsons take a family vacation on a cruise, and the ship hosts a South Pacific Pool Party complete with a beachy backdrop, tiki torches and a tiki table centerpiece that looks sort of Mayan to me (though I’m no expert on pre-Columbian sculpture).
Earlier in the episode there’s a musical number with the lyric: “Here Hawaiian shirts are cool; back home, well, not so much,” while later the disgraced cruise director laments, “After this I’ll be lucky to get work on a clothing-optional Jimmy Buffett cruise.” Leave it to “The Simpsons” to go for the clichés. Well, at least they didn’t refer to tiki as tacky.
Until recently, the only connection I knew of between “tiki” and “cowboys” was a famous little tune called “Hawaiian Cowboy.” (I remember it from “The Muppet Show,” but according to legend it was composed off the cuff by Solomon K. Bright in 1936.) In further researching these seemingly unrelated subjects, I also discovered that Hawaii’s history of cattle wrangling actually goes back before the heyday of the Wild West in America. Anyway, this is all a roundabout way of introducing Eric “Baron” Behrenfeld’s band: the Tiki Cowboys.
He sent me a copy of his 2009 debut EP “A Taste of Tiki,” on which Baron was a one-man band, supplying vocals, ukulele and percussion. Of the four original songs, the first track “Tiki Lady” is my favorite. It’s upbeat and fun and has some suggestive lyrics (ooh la la!). “My Little Song” takes on the country music trope that goes something like “my dog died, my wife left and she took my truck.” “Slap, Clap & Tickle” is a syncopated instrumental while “Feel So Good” brings in some elements of surf music.
Sharp eyes might recognize the setting in that first photo as the Tiki Terrace in Des Plaines, which is where Baron and the other musicians that make up the Tiki Cowboys perform live every third Thursday from 6 p.m.-8:30 p.m. Later this year we should also be able to look for a full-length album with more of their “Beach Blues and Tiki-Twang” sound.
For more information, check out the Tiki Cowboys Facebook page.
Each of the dozen Arizona locations tries to evoke the feeling of a neighborhood Italian restaurant in Chicago from decades past. The dining rooms are filled with random kitsch like neon clocks, old wooden skis and surf boards covered with Christmas lights.
I was a bit surprised to see a mug shot for a young Frank Sinatra framed up on the wall. His crime? Seduction.
But then I remembered how that catalog has been “inspired” by photos in “The Book of Tiki,” and there it was when I flipped through my copy. The image illustrated author Sven Kirsten’s discovery that tikis from the original Luau in Beverly Hills somehow ended up at the Hanalei Hotel (now a Crowne Plaza) in San Diego. Double déjà vu!

On Saturday, April 29, Jamaica Cultural Enterprises participated in familiarization tour put on by the Jamaica Tourist Board. The objective of the leg in which we participated was to show off Kingston. The JTB made the interesting and bold decision to take the group of 12 agents from North America to Downtown Kingston and specifically to Fleet Street. Needless to say their minds were blown.
We were met on Fleet Street by Shane and Sabukie, representatives of Life Yard. Life Yard is a social enterprise which provides community tours of Parade Gardens, specifically of the impressive vibrant murals constructed by Paint Jamaica and also of their organic farm. These well spoken Rasta men also organize community events and raise funds for projects which impact on the neighbourhood’s children. The energy as usual was excellent, even though the gentlemen were tired from having staged a cultural show the night before. The multi coloured, approx 10 foot high items of vivid street art did what they never fail to do: astound and impress. The empowering messages, the at times whimsical images, the heavy symbolism and awareness of history transform the walls of the community and provide, at least for the visitor and hopefully for the residents too, a source of hope.
The visit to Life Yard was framed by a drive through green National Heroes Park, a pass by the then calm waters of the Kingston Harbour, and a visit to the lovely grounds of Devon House to take in ice cream, history, and art. In the JCE message to the travel agents we delivered the idea that Kingston, as well connected as it is, is a necessary and easy stop to include on a vacation to the island, a way of incorporating a cultural experience in a beach vacation. Travellers these days wish for culture, experiences, transformation. These are the things you get in Kingston.
Our trip ended with a fierce patty debate which I don't think I won but more on that later on. I am pleased that increasingly the Government of Jamaica is recognising the potential of Kingston. We've been running Kingston tours now for years and not only do we love it but it is a destination that we understand very well. We look forward to welcoming even more visitors who are interested in what the city has to offer and in our brand of cultural tourism.

The Government have issued new regulations relating to tenants’ associations called The Tenants’ Associations (Provisions Relating to Recognition and Provision of Information) (England) Regulations 2018 (“the Regulations”). These apply to England only and are due to come into force on 1 November 2018.
What is a Tenants’ Association?
A recognised Tenants’ Association is one where the members have come together to represent their common interests. Once formally recognised the Association can act on the tenants’ behalf regarding a number of issues, including service charge issues.
An Association is formally recognised either by notice in writing from the landlord to the secretary of the Association, or by application to a First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) (“FTT”). Statutory provision within the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 enables the Secretary of State to issue regulations concerning the issue of a certificate of recognition by the FTT.
What do the new Regulations state?
Paragraph 3 of the Regulations provides the matters to which the FTT must give regard to when issuing a certificate of recognition. These include, inter alia, the composition of the membership of the tenants’ association, the tenants’ association’s rules regarding decision making, the extent to which the tenants’ association is independent of the landlord of the dwellings to which the association relates and the extent to which the association operates in an open and transparent way.
Paragraph 4 of the Regulations sets outs the circumstances in which a certificate must not be given by the FTT. These include the circumstances where the tenants’ association represent less than 50% of the qualifying tenants of the dwellings. In addition the list states the FTT must not give a certificate to a tenants’ association if the FTT is not satisfied that the constitution and rules of the tenants’ association are fair and democratic.
The FTT are also granted the power to cancel a certificate of recognition. Paragraph 5 of the Regulations details the matters which must be considered when the FTT are cancelling a certificate, for example whether the certificate was obtained by deception or fraud or whether there are any irregularities in the tenants’ association’s voting process, decision making, implementing of decisions or recording of decisions.
Paragraphs 6 to 10 of the Regulations allow the relevant tenants’ association to request information on other tenants from the landlord. Should any requests be received by a landlord (in line with paragraphs 6-10 then it is important that the landlord deals with these requests within the time frame set out.
It is important to fully understand the obligations that Regulations place on landlords.

Having completed the integration of both firms, the recent merger of DMH Stallard and Rawlison Butler is being hailed a great success by the senior management team.
DMH Stallard merged with Rawlison Butler in September reinforcing the leading regional presence of the law firm; the move brought the overall team strength to 350, including over 70 partners, and increased the number of offices in Sussex, Surrey and London to six.
In addition to the exceptionally strong balance sheet, DMH Stallard has recently received top honours in the UK’s two most prestigious legal guides.
Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500 have recognised DMH Stallard as one of the leading mid-market legal firms in the UK, with numerous partners and practice areas receiving notable accreditations.
Clive Lee is part of the DMH Stallard senior management team and was managing partner at Rawlison Butler when the merger was first considered and led on the negotiations with Richard Pollins.
Rawlison Butler’s office in Horsham which specialises in Private Client work will continue under the DMH Stallard flag to provide the same high quality service to our Horsham Clients that they are used to receiving through the same team, but which is being strengthened by the addition of some new personnel coming across from the Merged firm.
Rawlison Butler’s commercial teams in Gatwick/Crawley will be combining together with DMH Stallard’s teams in both Griffin House and Gainsborough House to form fully integrated and stronger offerings in the local Sussex market.

At a village in Biaro, Zaire, where refugees have gathered, the Zairian Red Cross count more than 1,000 children orphaned by the violence.
When the massacres started in Rwanda twenty-five years ago, on April 7, 1994, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières teams suddenly found themselves caught in a frenzy of violence. MSF, which had teams across the country, was keenly aware of mounting tensions throughout the early 1990s between members of the Hutu ethnic majority—who controlled Rwanda’s government—and the Tutsi minority. But no one was prepared for the scale of the violence to come, as the Hutu-led government launched a calculated plan to exterminate the Tutsis.
MSF teams bore witness to the slaughter and struggled to provide emergency medical care in an atmosphere of intense violence and fear. As the genocide unfolded—and the international community stood by—MSF grappled with ethical humanitarian dilemmas that still shape the organization’s work today.
This president's assassination ended the peace accords and sparked years of strife and horrific violence.
The first MSF teams are evacuated in Kigali, Rwanda.
A patient's brother is pictured here at the MSF/ICRC hospital in Kigali. Despite intense discussions with the MSF team, a local colonel demanded that the young man leave the facility; he was killed 109 yards from the hospital.
Teams set about transporting patients in need of surgery to this field hospital and providing medical treatment where people in danger had taken refuge. But these places—orphanages, schools, religious institutions—were routinely attacked by so-called génocidaires who murdered the able-bodied and finished off the wounded, often soon after MSF’s medical teams had left.
For several weeks, our teams assessed the prospects and risks associated with transporting the wounded on a case-by-case basis. They continued treating injured patients in Kigali and did what they could to shelter hundreds of people in their field hospital—all the while encircled by a raging genocide.
Maps showing the interim government-controlled areas.
Rwandan refugees heading towards North Kivu and South Kivu.
Initially, the ICRC led public communications about what was transpiring in Rwanda. The ICRC dropped its customary reserve—based on the principle of neutrality to which international humanitarian aid organizations adhere—and condemned “a systematic slaughter” in Rwanda. They stopped short of using the term “genocide.” That loaded word, first mentioned in internal MSF discussions on April 13, came to be used more explicitly after massacres in Butare ten days later left little doubt about the nature of the violence. Rwanda’s Tutsi people were being systematically exterminated.
Rwandan refugees at the border between Rwanda and Burundi.
As early as July 1994, hundreds of thousands of refugees began fleeing Rwanda out of fear of reprisals or because they had been threatened by the genocidal authorities. In Zaire, refugees congregated close to the border and in the towns of Goma, Bukavu, and Katale in North and South Kivu. Humanitarian aid operations were launched to respond to the massive needs of these vulnerable people, including by MSF, whose teams were already present in all of the countries bordering Rwanda. But among the displaced—three-quarters of whom were women and children—were individuals responsible for the genocide: soldiers and militiamen, some of whom were heavily armed.
Rwandan refugees wait for aid in a camp in Goma.
MSF teams described the medical, health, and nutrition situation in the refugee camps as catastrophic. Epidemics of cholera, dysentery, and meningitis ravaged the camps—and almost 50,000 people died in the first month after their arrival. On some days, MSF’s cholera treatment centers saw more than 1,000 admissions. In response, our teams implemented vaccination campaigns; outfitted hospitals; conducted health surveys; and distributed dry rations to children under five years old, among whom the rate of acute malnutrition frequently rose above 21 percent.
A group of Rwandan refugees in Goma.
As the refugee crisis dragged on, the Zaire camps came to serve as a rear base for the genocidal soldiers and militiamen to regroup and launch deadly attacks against civilians across the border in Rwanda. Tensions rose between Rwandan-speaking communities—some of them long-established in Zaire—and resulted in a rapid succession of attacks and counter-attacks. At the same time, the Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congo-Zaire (AFDL), led by Congolese revolutionary Laurent-Désiré Kabila, was formed. The AFDL joined forces with the Rwandan Patriotic Front to launch a territorial conquest from the east of the country.
As a result of heavy fighting, a million Hutu refugees flee to Zaire. This woman grieves over a family member who died along the journey from Biaro to Kisangani as thousands were packed on overcrowded trains.
Malnutrition rates were extremely high among the refugees. This child was seen among a group near the village of Lula.
The AFDL considered these people enemies, and the MSF teams assisting them belatedly became aware of a deadly plan in the making. In April 1997, AFDL soldiers were not only killing refugees on a massive scale—they were also using humanitarian aid organizations as bait to draw them out of hiding. Some camps, such as Biaro, were emptied. When humanitarian organizations were able to access them again, teams found only a few survivors among the corpses.
When a group of refugees, desperate for food, began looting the food stocks of the World Food Program, rebel fighters in Zaire intervened.

It wasn’t just us who thought that Google made a complete mess with the initial venture of their eye wearable.
During its commercial entry, the device got backfired with some disapproval over its pricing, as well as its underwhelming charm.
But as it appears, Google is addressing the drawbacks of its prime effort, with what appears to be the version 2.0 of Google Glass.
The speculated device has now appeared for FCC rating, seeking permissions for its wireless radiations. Coded as GG1, the device has got a hike in terms of its spec-sheet with the addition of Wi-Fi, 5 GHz support, as well as Bluetooth LE.
Presumably, all these might be lighting up the video streaming possibilities in Google Glass 2. And with that included, Google would find no fault in pitching the devices to enterprises rather than to the mainstream users.
The report from 9to5Google contains wordings of some insiders explaining that the device is currently being codenamed Enterprise Edition inside the company perimeters.
Previous edition of the Glasses were named Google Glass Explorer Edition (XE). Interestingly, the new EE codenamed device is also billed as a hardware-vamped up device, rather than a version 2.0.
Google Glass prototypes have been long discussed among the tech-world, with some even revealing the prototypes they assembled. But none among them were bound towards the FCC listing.
Now with their new hardware making it to the listing, it can be believed that Google would soon be entering the test works for its new hardware.
The listing also describes a public debut of the GG1 device on December 28th, before which we could come to know whether this device would really be the successor to Google Glass.

Wow… Let’s just hope that all of his bones are going the same direction, because it wouldn’t be that nice to lose a finger bone or any other of those small ones that are easy to drop under the sofa when you take yourself apart.
I think there’s a lot of meaning in that.

How to protect your e-mail from being spoofed? What is Sender Policy Framework?
SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is a validation system that aims at stopping the so-called email forging. Essentially, this means sending some message from one email and making it look like it’s sent from another one with the objective to scam in some manner the person getting it. In case the SPF protection is active for a domain, a record that includes all the mail servers authorized to send messages with addresses in the domain is created. The record is placed on all the DNS servers that route the web traffic worldwide, so they all can identify whether an e-mail message comes from an authentic server or not. The verification is done at the first server where the email goes through and in the first case the email message is forwarded, but in the second one it's discarded and it never reaches its intended recipient. Using SPF records for your domain names will stop all unauthorized people from using your email addresses for harmful purposes.
When you host your domain names in a web hosting account with us and we manage the email addresses for them, you will be able to activate SPF protection for any of them with a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. The service is available in its own section where you are able to see which domain names are currently secured. For the ones which aren't, you will be able to activate the SPF protection solution and set up numerous things during this process - the hostnames of the mail servers that are permitted to send messages from your emails, the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of these servers, as well as to create a rule that messages can be sent only if your domain names have our MX records. The aforementioned solution is the most secure one, but it can be used when we handle the email addresses for your domains and do not use another email provider. The newly created records will be activated within 1 day and nobody will be able to forge the FROM field in an e-mail using your e-mail addresses.
When you host your domains in a semi-dedicated server account with us, you are able to employ the SPF protection feature as a part of the standard group of services that you will get using this type of website hosting. Activating the protection will involve just a few easy steps in the Hepsia Control Panel, thus even if you haven't employed such a function before, you won't have any type of problems. Through an exceptionally time and effort saving interface, you'll simply have to input the info of the mail server which will be certified to send messages from your addresses - its hostname (mail.server.com) and IP address (IPv4 or IPv6). Once the recently created record propagates, nobody will be able to forge any e-mail for that particular domain name and send out messages from a server other than the one you have entered. This doesn't necessarily have to be our mail server, however when we take care of your emails, you are able to allow one more level of security by picking an option that emails can be send out from addresses @your-domain.com only in the event that the domain uses our MX records. Our technical support crew will be able to assist you 24/7 if you have any kind of questions related to this service.

After eight weeks of learning about language, culture, cooking, medicine, and much more at the main Pacific Orientation Course facility, the time had come to begin the final part of the course: four weeks living in a village, immersed in PNG culture.
The three single guys at this POC (Steve, Tony, and I) were assigned to the village of Bunu, a little more than an hour's drive north of Nobonob (the mountain on which POC is located).
The village had two water buffalo for some reason?
The three of us had a wasfamili (host family) that looked out for us, took us places, introduced us to people, and taught us a lot about how to live in the village. They even built the house we lived in!
A typical PNG bush house lasts 12 or so years, after which the people here build themselves a new house. We spent our month living in a new house that our waspapa just built, and after we left, the family will move into the new house and tear down their old one.
Being located right on a major road makes Bunu a somewhat atypical PNG village. Most people in PNG live by working in their gardens all day, hopefully bringing enough home for their family, and selling anything extra at the market. But the Bunu economy is powered by cash crops: cocoa, coconuts, and buai (or betelnut, which, when chewed with lime, acts as a stimulant. It's wildly popular in PNG culture.). They grow and sell these products, and use the money to buy their food. They also operate a roadside market, where they sell crackers, cookies, mangoes, and buai to passers-by. It's called Slowdown Market since it's right by a section of the road where the pavement is missing so all the cars have to slow way down.
Bunu is right on the ocean, which has its perks. The beach, though not sandy, was a popular hangout spot where we got to relax and talk with people. Seafood was plentiful, and we got to watch one of our brothers go spear fishing at night. My favorite was when he shot an octopus. First they kill it by turning its head inside out, then they take the body and slam it against some rocks for a while to tenderize the meat. Then wasmama fried it up and gave us some. It was quite delicious, very salty, very chewy, but didn't taste like seafood at all.
To get washing water, we (fortunately!) had a well right next to our house. Drinking water, on the other hand, was much harder to get because of the recent drought here. It got so bad that the government instituted a free truck that drives up and down the road, bringing people to a dam to fill up their containers with fresh water. Getting water is a multi-hour affair: you must first wait for the water truck to drive past, which was announced by all the kids yelling "wara wara wara!" as they dash through the village. Then you grab your containers, go to the road, wait for the truck to come back, and hope it's not full. If it's not, you join the dozens of Papua New Guineans already on the back of the flatbed and take the bumpy ride to the dam. The truck drives away to get more people as you all fill up your containers and wait for the truck to come back and take you home. Sure makes me appreciate unlimited, clean water available inside your house at the turn of a knob!
We spent lots of time storying with our wasfamili and other people from the village. Our conversation topics varied wildly, these are just a few: how to get to PNG from America, the PNG education system, how to avoid shark attacks, movies, English, magic, Obama, what American houses are made of, World War II, animals of PNG, the Chicago Bulls, and much more. They were also very interested in our thoughts about Christianity. The area surrounding Bunu is primarily Catholic, but a few other groups (especially the SDA) are growing stronger here, and several people wanted our opinion on certain doctrinal issues and passages that the Catholics and SDAs disagree upon. I had a Tok Pisin New Testament with me (I left it in the village when we left), and we were able to look up passages together, emphasizing that the Bible is the ultimate authority.
and playing in a mambu (bamboo) band.
As is part of the culture, there was a big farewell celebration for us at the end of our time in the village. We and many others contributed food for the women to cook, including a chicken that we watched waspapa kill and clean. (We wanted him to kill one of the chickens that liked to sit under our house and cluck all night, but those weren't good for eating apparently.) They also dressed us up in traditional ceremonial clothes which included, among other things, dogs' teeth and pigs' tusks and bird of paradise feathers. We even attended a morning church service while dressed up, which caused quite a stir among the congregation as the priest (who is from Poland) tried very hard to conceal his surprise and amusement at our unexpected appearance.
Now that my village living time is over, I'm thankful for the relationships I formed there, for the chance to improve my Tok Pisin, and also for the greater appreciation I gained for what daily life is like for the average Papua New Guinean. As I live here day after day in my house in Ukarumpa with screened windows, running water, an indoor bathroom, a refrigerator and stove, and a comfortable bed, it's easy to forget how much easier I have it than most of the rest of the people who live in PNG. My month in the village has made me realize more than ever how much God has given me, for which I am most thankful.
• Where in the world is Papua New Guinea?

Seventh Elizabeth series. The majority of the stories take place during the timeframe of Book 2. The Prophecy, told by the Apostle John, states that not only was Elizabeth chosen to fulfill her destiny but that the Dragons would, “protect those who are not able to protect themselves.” Münir is also reported to have stated that he wished that he could see, first hand, the Acts of the Dragons.
During the fifteenth year of Elizabeth’s life, she and her family took the time to chronicle these stories. Often the stories were told in front of hundreds and those hundreds will pass the stories down for generations to come.
Although the stories are random in their topics, there is a specific story arc that they follow as they attempt to capture and defeat a member of the Syndicate, Niro, and his STOD partner, Sandman.
The series introduces and gives you further insight into a few characters from the Zero to Ten series.
Many of the stories are co-authored by Jarrod L. Edge’s four children (Kari, Taevon, Edward, and Isabella). Almost all of the series will be edited by Lisa M. Edge.
The number of stories in this series has not been determined yet. As God’s Grace allows, they will appear. Be prepared for laughter, tears, and lots of action!

A word on Brand X, the term’s ugly duckling, whose limelight has been stolen by its more glamorous cousin, Grokster.
For those who don’t read reports of the Federal Communications Commission with rapt attention, Brand X is narrowly about the FCC’s rules for cable modems, but broadly about the future of broadband and the American Internet. The basic question posed by the case was whether the FCC had the authority to disregard what looked like a clear statutory command to treat Internet cable modems like a phone service. For broadband operators, being a “telecommunications service,” in the words of the 1996 Telecom Act, basically means having a duty to let any ISP sell its services to your customers.
To summarize, the court decided Monday to let the FCC do what it wants, and that means deregulation. The FCC has been trying to deregulate broadband for almost a half-decade now, while it watches countries like Korea, Japan, and even Canada leapfrog the United States in broadband usage. The court today in essence says, “OK, FCC, we don’t really know a thing about broadband, so let’s see if you can get us out of this mess.” Carpe diem, or something like that.
Two things were sacrificed along the way to this result. First, the companies that are called “independent ISPs” in the industry and “AOL” by everyone else, are left without much of a future. Already not the world’s healthiest, these companies needed tighter rules to have a chance to sell ISP services directly to broadband consumers. Now the court has effectively cut their lifeline.
The second sacrifice is the coherence of administrative law. You might retort that administrative law was already incoherent. But after Brand X I think there may not be anyone who fully understands the doctrine of deference to agencies that the court calls the Chevron/Mead doctrine. The general idea is that Mead is supposed to determine, based on criteria no one understands, when an agency’s decisions gets more (Chevron) or less (Skidmore) deference. Got that? Neither does the Supreme Court. Justice Clarence Thomas’ opinion in Brand X just skips Mead altogether and also manages somehow to evade the textual commands of the 1996 Telecom Act. And just to show you how bad things are, Breyer’s concurrence accuses Scalia of misstating, in dissent, the meaning of Mead, from which Scalia also dissented. It would be funny if it wasn’t so confusing. Thank goodness I don’t teach administrative law.
In his dissent, Justice Scalia reprises a favorite role—the principled textualist standing firm against consequence. His performance might be more convincing if he hadn’t wholly abandoned that part when faced a few years ago with President Clinton’s efforts to call tobacco a “drug delivery device.” Both that case and Brand X were “plain language” cases, but only this time around does Scalia say that the plain language really does end the case.
Politically speaking, Brand X will have various consequences. With some of the skirmishing with independent ISPs out of the way, U.S. broadband deployment may actually speed up. Meanwhile, the decision will also increase the pressure on Capitol Hill and perhaps at the FCC for what are called “network neutrality” rules. Those are consumer-protections rules designed to prevent cable and DSL providers from blocking their customers from using whatever services or attachments they want—think Voice over IP or Wi-Fi. Previously, one hope was that independent ISPs might provide a check on potential abuses by broadband operators by offering an alternative to dissatisfied customers. But with the deregulation of cable modems confirmed by Brand X, that’s no longer an option, which makes network neutrality rules look more important.
But put all that aside. The upshot of Monday’s decision is that the court has given the FCC the authority, whether or not it was what Congress intended, to try to get the United States out of its embarrassing broadband slump. Whether the FCC manages to succeed is another question altogether.

As promised, here's the second part of my post: Top 10 Marathi films you must watch.
Once again, the post only has a few films (as of July 6 2012).
With endless Marathi films making a mark, guess a third part should be on it's way.
This 2006 film didn't create a stir at the Box-office, but I can watch this film a hundred times and never feel bored. The dialogues were simply hilarious. Bharat Jadhav as the con-businessman did a brilliant job. This movie was almost like a Marathi version of the Akshay Kumar - Shahid Kapoor starrer Deewane huye pagaal, but the humor in this film is unbeatable. Sunil Tawde has outdone himself. The situations in this film will make you laugh like crazy. Dialogues by Sachin Darekar are the soul of this film. I mean where would you get to hear stuff like "Aamhi Kohlapur la centrally Air-condition karnaar aahot." Music by Avdhoot gupte was good. If you are down and out or stressed, then make sure you grab a copy of this film and watch it!
This 2010 film is a must watch for all those parents who believe that only good grades can assure a successful life for their child. Shrinivas Rane (Saksham Kulkarni) is very good at cricket, but never manages to score well in his exams. His father Madhukar Rane (gives me a whack or two everyday for not completing his homework or for not scoring well in exams. The father-son relationship deteriorates and one day, Madhukar does something so serious to Shree that their life changes within a second. This film is about Madhukar's struggle, who wants every parent to know that beating their kids and shouting at them everyday is of no use. He wants them to know that letting their child excel in what he/she likes is extremely important. Alas! Madhukar learns this very late. Performance wise, Both Bharat Jadhav and Saksham Kulkarni have done a brilliant job. The emotional and funny scenes are very well tackled. The supporting cast is also good. Mahesh Manjrekar made a serious attempt to reach out to all those parents who have been torturing their children for no reason. And the attempt was successful.
How can I not add this film to my list? After all, This movie talks about the Beginnings of Cinema and That too, In a brilliant way! "Father of Cinema" in India, Dadasaheb Phalke accidentally stumbled across a tent theatre that was screening a silent motion picture. Thats when the idea of film making stuck him. Along with his hardworking family, He ventured into an area that was unknown to contemporary India. This movie traces the journey of Dadasaheb Phalke & The making of the 1st Indian feature film "Raja Harishchandra". Nandu Madhav has essayed the role of Dadasaheb Phalke brilliantly. The kids are super cute & Vibhavri as Phalke's wife is charming. The direction (By Paresh Mokashi) is bang on. Its a flawless film. Not to forget, Nitin chandrakant Desai's beautiful art direction adds more charm to the film. A must watch for all Cinema lovers & those who are studying the History of Cinema.
This movie can be described as a "Cinematic Masterstroke."Movies like Vihir and Shwaas added a new dimension to the Marathi film industry. Its a story of two adolescent boys, Sameer and Nachiket (cousins who are best friends) standing on the cross roads of life. They need to choose between the life that leads to a petty worldly small existence or the life of free existence that would let them spread their wings and soar high in open skies.The boys play a game of hide and seek in a rather unusual way. Where one cousin hides in death. And the other is looking for him in the life around him. Samir's search leads him towards the experience of oneness where he can unite with Nachiket again. The movie is not just a source of entertainment, its an experience. The story and screenplay (Girish Kulkarni, Sati Bhave) is so well written. I think this movie is a must for all those folks out there who love watching films that make them feel blessed. It is a delight for every film lover!
This one is a winner in every sense! It has all that a typical movie buff would want, Action, Masala, Emotions, Comedy. It took Maharashtra by storm. For more than a year, The tagline "Garv aahe mala Maharashtriya aslaycha" was a huge hit. This movie walked away with all the awards in the Marathi films category in 2009. Mi Shivaji Raje Bhosale Boltoy is about a simple man, Dinkar Bhosale (Sachin Khedekar) who is frustrated with the way Maharashtrians are treated everywhere. Even at home, his daughter wants to do away with the "Bhosale" surname, his son is annoyed with him as he does want to give in to corruption just to get admission in a reputed college, his wife does not like the way he saves money. His frustration brings Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to life, who does not like the fact that he has given up so easily. That's when the real drama starts & Mr.Bhosale stands up against all the illegal activities in Mumbai & reaches out to all the Maharashtrians. The cast was just bang on. Khedekar's performance created a great impact. It made us wake up & think about the on-goings in our state (Hope someday everyone wakes up & works towards helping our city get out of real trouble). Suchitra Bandekar was a delight to watch. Mahesh Manjrekar as Shivaji Maharaj was good & so was Makarand Anaspure as his Mawla. Dunno how Mahesh Manjrekar managed to come with such a fantastic,original story. The title track "Hey raje" was a hit. The dialogues (Sanjay Pawar, Mahesh Majrekar) added a lot of impact as well. If dramatic films with a touch of History are your thing, then THIS ONE IS A MUST WATCH!
There you go! 10 marathi films that stood out for me. Here's a list of some more brilliant films that also deserve a special mention.
Must Watch because - A heart warming,emotional story of a family and their usual problems.
Must watch because - it has a brilliant message. You should never underestimate any individual's talent. The movie has some amazing dialogues & the story is fresh & original.
Must watch because - This movie changed the face of marathi films. Part of the 'social' genre. Sandeep Kulkarni's performance was outstanding. Nishikant Kamat later directed the Hindi film Mumbai Meri Jaan.
So what are you waiting for? Grab a DVD/VCD or a Blu Ray of these wonderful movies and Watch them now!
i wonder how golmaal could make it into the list! pathetic it is.
The slapstick comedy was worth a watch.
Nice List!! Except Golmaal, I have watched them all. But I wonder why Deool is not part of your List. Deool is as good as Natrang!!
Girish Kulkarni got a National Award for his acting in this movie. Watch out for him in Anuarag Kyashap's Ugly!!
Of course, I know! There are many more films that I would like to add.
A third part in this series should be on its way soon.
Valu will be a good addition to the list.
Thank you so much for the heads up, Anubhav! My mistake. Always get confused between the two.

This one is a real "Tonic Classic" using some of the things I love most from the Tonic Studios range.
I love the way the dies can be used to create a cut out pattern in the card so that the patterned paper underneath can be seen through it.
I've made this 8x8 card with the Tonic Studios Indulgence Affections Heart Base dies and added details with the Frond Finesse and One I Love die sets.
The gorgeous paper is Bella Rose by Trimcraft.

How Uncle Sam Could Help Business. No, Really.
It has become a ritual during the State of the Union address each January: As President Obama talks about small business as “the foundation of our economy,” the cameras pan to Michelle Obama. Sitting nearby will be a smiling entrepreneur, chosen to illustrate the administration’s commitment to young companies. In 2009, the guest was the owner of a solar panel installation firm in Colorado. In 2010, it was the CEO of a chain of supermarkets. In 2011, there was Zachary Davis, who had launched an ice cream shop in California, thanks to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
But even though Davis follows politics more closely than most entrepreneurs, he still works too many hours to pay much attention to Washington policy debates.
Legislation covering two key issues affecting smaller companies has already been signed into law. The catch: Important details remain unresolved.
The Affordable Care Act--a.k.a. Obamacare--became law in 2010. But it remains a kludge in progress: In April, the administration delayed until 2015 the rollout of the state-run exchanges that will allow employees a wider choice of coverage options, and in July it pushed back, also until 2015, the launch of the employer mandate (forcing businesses with 50 or more employees to buy coverage or pay a penalty). Republicans still talk of repealing it, and although that seems beyond unlikely, there are key details of the law that could change.
The second almost-done deal is the JOBS Act. The first piece of the law, which relaxes Depression-era rules that ban companies from advertising investment opportunities to the public, went into effect in September. The second piece, which allows companies to sell equity via crowdfunding, should be in place by late 2014. Issues remain, such as: What kind of disclosures must companies make to investors? Michael McGeary, political director at Engine, a tech advocacy group, says the JOBS Act “could be a real boon for young companies,” particularly those located outside VC-dense areas such as New York and Silicon Valley.
In early 2013, there was hope Congress would make progress on two other issues that small-business owners care about: immigration and tax reform. Momentum disappeared as Congress became fixated on the debt ceiling and Obamacare. But odds are good that we will see new laws on each before this Congress checks out in early 2015.
Immigration reform would affect small-business owners in two ways. For the majority, the big concern is making it easier to verify a worker’s legal status. The Feds offer a voluntary online system called E Verify, and the immigration reform bill passed by the Senate last spring would make this system mandatory. That broad bill also would require noncitizen workers to show ID with fraud-resistant “biometric markers” when applying for jobs.
Other businesses--particularly in tech industries--care more about expanding the inflow of high-skill immigrants. These companies hope to see an expanded H-1B visa program, the creation of visas for immigrants who show proof of VC backing, and a clearer path to citizenship for high-skilled workers who are here illegally. Political oddsmakers are somewhat optimistic about reform passing in 2014, primarily because the 2013 Senate bill gained bipartisan backing before stalling out in the House.
Tax reform is another key 2014 issue. In late 2012, the Bush-era tax cuts expired, resulting in a tax increase (to 39.6 percent) on the highest earners. In August, Obama unveiled a plan to lower corporate tax rates from a maximum of 35 percent to 28 percent. This one-two punch seems unfair to small businesses, given that a filer’s rate could vary more than 10 percent depending on what kind of corporate structure he or she has chosen.
Senator Max Baucus and Representative David Camp, who lead their respective congressional committees on taxation issues, have been working on a bill that they say would be fairer to small businesses, but both men will be leaving those posts in early 2015, so it’s unclear how much success they will have.
There are perennial issues that small-business advocates love to promote and that members of Congress will periodically peddle--but never go anywhere. One example: The Kauffman Foundation has pushed to make it easier for students and professors to take innovations created inside universities and launch private companies. That’s a shift from the current system, in which agonizingly slow university bureaucracies must approve such deals. It sounds like a reasonable fix, but “universities hate the idea,” says Kauffman’s Dane Stangler. In July, House members discussed draft legislation aimed at providing grants to universities to promote innovative approaches to technology transfer. Similar legislation has been introduced, unsuccessfully, over the years.
Politicians also love to show love for small business by attempting to reduce regulation. Last summer, Senators Angus King and Roy Blunt tried with the Regulatory Improvement Act of 2013, which calls for a committee to come up with a plan to review, simplify, and cut federal regulations. Good luck. Why? What business owners see as “red tape” are often things that safety or environmental advocates see as needed protections.

The colored lights on the snow gave it a holiday appearance, but the dead woman’s body in the yard added a grisly touch. How did Ina Bell Patrick die? Who killed her? And why?
The dead woman had no direct heirs, so two nephews and a niece stood to inherit. Dr. Laura Morris was left to make all the arrangements, attorney Roger Morris could certainly use the money, and Zack Morris had disappeared two years earlier. Then there was neighbor and “best friend” Fay Autrey, who was certain the woman intended to leave her some money—a great deal of money.
The police were still looking for the killer who left the frozen body in the snow when it became apparent someone was trying to pick off the heirs, one by one.
Who would win the race—the police or the killer?
Young surgeon Tyler Gentry thought the offer to join the Hall Group of surgeons offered the answer to his problems, but things changed when he received a 3 AM phone call that told him such a move would be hazardous to his health.
Dr. Tyler Gentry had it all planned out, but the death of his parents in a plane crash changed everything. When he discovered his father had left him a mountain of debt, piled on top of his own student debt, the offer from Dr. William Hall to join his group of surgeons seemed a perfect solution. But the night before he was to start, Tyler received a call that told him to get out while he could.
Despite the salary and perks, Tyler found a curtain of mystery surrounding the surgical group. The only thing that made it worthwhile was the lovely operating room nurse, Ashley Wynn, with whom Tyler seemed to make an instant connection. But when their first date ended with his car exploding while she watched, Ashley seemed hesitant to continue their relationship.
The stakes continued to rise while Tyler was faced with his dilemma: stay or go?

Then his prospective father-in-law approaches him, needing money for a reason Ben can't fathom. When people start dying, Ben and Rachel begin to wonder if they can escape unscathed...and alive.
When Dr. Caden Taggart saw the two men sitting in his waiting room, he didn't think they were patients. He was right and when they introduced themselves as agents of the Drug Enforcement Agency, things started to get bad.
Then Caden felt as though someone had gut-punched him when his father, Dr. Henry Taggart, told him he probably had carcinoma of the pancreas. When he talked about his son assisting with his suicide, Caden wondered how he could talk him out of that.
When he shared his news with his wife, Beth, she tried to assure Caden that God was in control. But as things progressed, he was unsure that was true. At first, he feared for his freedom,. Then for his ability to cope. Eventually, he feared for his life.

Previous educational experiences: I’ve been to seven different schools in the United States, and an international school in Germany.
Thoughts on ISB: It’s a great school, the staff are all good people, and the homework load is manageable. I’ve also enjoyed the range of different activities to get involved with.
Favorite ISB moment so far: Playing in the CEESA basketball tournament even though I was only in the B-team. Getting a chance to play in the tournament was great and it allowed us to get the skills and experience to make the A team next year.
Favorite subject(s): English and Math. Although they are different I love reading and writing and I like the logic required in math.
Activities: I am involved with basketball, Dragon’s Den (school newspaper), choral group, literary ladies, and iBark (service project with animal shelter).
Expeditions: I went on the Djerdap excursion this year, and that taught me to always make sure that tents are waterproof! Loved getting to know my grade better and had a lot of fun together.
Out of comfort zone moment: When I started working on algebra and integers last year in math. It took a lot of work to help me understand it but these are now in my comfort zone!
Future aspirations: I want to be a veterinarian and own an animal shelter in Belgrade, while working as a part-time English teacher (possibly at ISB?).
