Almost four years ago a dispute over Java licensing broke out between Oracle and one of its former licensees, Switzerland-based Myriad Group, only a few months after Oracle sued Google. Interestingly, Myriad Group was represented by King & Spalding, the firm that was leading Google's defensive efforts against Oracle during the first phase of the litigation. There was only limited factual overlap between these cases, with one parallel being that both Google and Myriad were trying to play the "open source" card. Some of the licensing issues Myriad was trying to raise could theoretically have come in handy for Google, but the Oracle-Myriad litigation never reached the stage at which any substantive decision would have been made.
As far as I can see, I never reported on that dispute again (though I maintained a subscription to notifications of new filings). At some point the matter was referred to mediation. There were some filings in recent months that indicated the dispute might continue in the Northern District of California in some fashion, but now the parties have just filed a stipulation to dismiss their claims aginst each other with prejudice as a result of a comprehensive settlement (this post continues below the document):
14-09-22 Oracle-Myriad Dismissal of Claims After Settlement by Florian Mueller
The filing doesn't reveal the specific terms of the settlement but I'd be extremely surprised if Myriad had not taken a Java license again. Otherwise there would have been no reason for Oracle to drop its claims against Myriad. Assuming that this is correct, it certainly strengthens Oracle's Java licensing business.
The settlement between Oracle and Myriad comes precisely two weeks before the (extended) deadline for Google's petition to the Supreme Court of the United States for writ of certiorari in the (far higher-profile) Android-Java copyright dispute. While the district court had sided with Google on the question of copyrightability (and the jury was hung with respect to fair use, leaving the defense unresolved for the time being), the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the non-copyrightability ruling and remanded the case for a new trial on fair use. Google is apparently trying to persuade the highest court in the U.S. to take a look at this case before it goes back to the district court.
It's speculative to say (but I'm at liberty to speculate) that Oracle's copyrightability win before the Federal Circuit may also have shown to Myriad Group that at the end of the day it would again need a Java license.

Here are 10 things you should know about Dame Vera Lynn, born 105 years ago today. She remains a beloved figure for her efforts to build morale and support the troops during the Second World War. We're featuring Dame Vera's music all day on Cladrite Radio, so tune in now!
Tag: Sincerely Yours
Happy 100th Birthday, Dame Vera Lynn!
The wonderful Dame Vera Lynn was born Vera Margaret Welch in East Ham, Essex, 100 years ago today! Here are 10 VL Did-You-Knows:
- On March 17, 2017, Lynn celebrated her centenarian status by releasing a new album, Vera Lynn 100, breaking the record she set at age 97 to remain the oldest person to ever release a new album.
The album comprises some of her most beloved hits with her original vocals set to new re-orchestrations, with the addition of vocals from a number of contemporary British performers.
- On March 18, a charity concert at the London Palladium featuring some of Britain's best contemporary talent paid tribute Dame Vera and her remarkable life and career. Queen Elizabeth was in attendance.
- Lynn was performing for audiences by the tender age of seven (which means she's been in show business more than 90 years) and by 11 had taken a stage name, Margaret Lynn (she later returned to her given first name, Vera).
- She first performed on the radio, with the popular Joe Loss Orchestra, in 1935, and in 1936 released her first solo recording, Up the Wooden Hill to Bedfordshire.
- Lynn is best remembered today for her moving renditions of sentimental wartime favorites, such as The White Cliffs of Dover, A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, There'll Always Be an England, and her signature song, We'll Meet Again. She further supported the war effort by hosting her own radio program, Sincerely Yours, on which she performed songs that were requested by soldiers and sailors. She also visited hospitals to meet with new mothers so that she could send their husbands who were serving overseas messages of love and support.
- Known during the war years as "the Forces' Sweetheart," Lynn performed for the troops in such remote and often dangerous locales as Egypt, India and Burma. For her tireless and courageous efforts, she was awarded the British War Medal and the Burma Star.
- After the war, she continued to record, topping the American charts (she was the first British performer to accomplish that feat) in 1952 with her recording of Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart. She was also a regular for some years on Tallulah Bankhead's American radio program, The Big Show.
- In the late 1960s and early '70s, Lynn hosted her own variety television series on BBC1 and guested on a wide range of other TV programs.
- In all, Lynn placed 16 singles on the charts (UK, US or both) between 1948 and 1967. After the war, she continued to work for many worthy causes, including assisting ex-servicemen, disabled children, and breast cancer charities.
- In 1969, she was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) "for services to the Royal Air Forces Association and other charities." In 1975, she was advanced to Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE). At age 85, Lynn founded the Dame Vera Lynn Children's Charity, which provides support and education for families affected by cerebral palsy.
- In 2000, Lynn received the Spirit of the 20th Century Award as the Briton who best exemplified the spirit of the 20th century.
Happy birthday, Dame Vera Lynn, and many happy returns of the day!
We're featuring the music of Dame Vera on Cladrite Radio all day long today and well into the evening, so be sure to tune in!

The Beaconsfield, 158 U.S. 303 (1895)
The Beaconsfield
No. 943
Submitted April 22, 1895
Decided May 20, 1895
The carrier is so far the representative of the owner that he may sue in his own name, either at common law or in admiralty, for a trespass upon or injury to the property carried.
If a cargo be damaged by collision between two vessels, the owner may pursue both vessels, or either, or the owners of both, or either, and in case he proceeds against one only and both are held in fault, he may recover his entire damages of the one sued.
A person who has suffered injury by the joint action of two or more wrongdoers may have his remedy against all or either, subject to the condition that satisfaction once obtained is a bar to further proceedings.
If the owner of a vessel, libellant on his own behalf and on behalf of the owner of the cargo, takes no appeal from a decree dismissing the libel as to his own vessel, the owner of the cargo may be substituted as libellant in his place, and the failure of the owner of the vessel to appeal is a technical defense which ought not to prejudice the owner of the cargo. chanrobles.com-red
Stipulations in admiralty are not subject to the rigid rules of the common law with respect to the liability of the surety, and so long as the cause of action remains practically the same, a mere change in the name of the libellant, as by substituting the real party in interest for a nominal party, will not avoid the stipulation as against the sureties.
This case, which is an outgrowth of that of The Britannia, 153 U. S. 130, arose upon a certificate of the circuit court of appeals touching the liability of the Beaconsfield to respond for a moiety of the loss upon her cargo by reason of her collision with the Britannia. The questions certified are based upon the finding of facts printed in the margin. * chanrobles.com-red
Upon this state of facts, the court of appeals certified to this Court for its decision the following questions: chanrobles.com-red
1. Whether, in entering said final decree, condemning each vessel in a moiety of said damages, the circuit court obeyed the mandate of the Supreme Court.
2. Whether, upon the above statement of facts, the libelant Albert W. Sanbern was entitled to a final decree condemning the steamship Beaconsfield, her engines, tackle, apparel, and furniture, in a moiety of the cargo damage, amounting to $31,526.64, as adjudged in the said final decree.
3. Whether, upon the above statement of facts, the libelant Albert W. Sanbern was entitled to judgment against William Libbey, surety, in the sum of $23,000, as directed by the said order of June 12, 1894, and as adjudged in the said judgment chanrobles.com-red
entered pursuant to the said order, and filed June 12, 1894.
MR. JUSTICE BROWN, after stating the facts in the foregoing language, delivered the opinion of the Court.
Stripped of its complication of libels and cross-libels, this case is by no means difficult to understand. The Beaconsfield having been sunk in a collision with the Britannia, her master and owner, as bailees of her cargo, proceeded against the Britannia for damages done to such cargo. This they had a right to do. It is perfectly well settled that the carrier is so far the representative of the owner that he may sue in his own name, either at common law or in admiralty, for a trespass upon or injury to the property carried. If a cargo be damaged by collision between two vessels, the owner may pursue both vessels or either, or the owner of both or either, and in case he proceed against one only and both are held in fault, he may recover his entire damages of the one sued. A person who has suffered injury by the joint action of two or more wrongdoers may have his remedy against all or either, subject, however, to the condition that satisfaction once obtained is a bar to any further proceeding. The Atlas, 93 U. S. 302, 93 U. S. 315; Lovejoy v. Murray, 3 Wall. 1. Did the case rest here, there could be no doubt of the right of the libelant to recover the whole damage to the cargo of the Britannia, although, as owner of the Beaconsfield herself, Cleugh could recover only a moiety of his damage to the vessel in case the collision were adjudged to be the mutual fault of both vessels.
By General Admiralty Rule 59, however, it is provided that,
"In a suit for damage by collision, if the claimant of any vessel proceeded against . . . shall, by petition, on oath, . . . showing fault or negligence in any other vessel contributing
to the same collision, and the particulars thereof, and that such other vessel, or any other party, ought to be proceeded against in the same suit for such damage, pray that process be issued against such vessel or party to that end, such process may be issued, and, if duly served, such suit shall proceed as if such vessel or party had been originally proceeded against."
Pursuant to this rule, the French company, owner of the Britannia, filed its petition, alleging fault on the part of the Beaconsfield and praying that she might be proceeded against in the same suit for such damage. This was done, and the litigation resulted in a decree of the district court dividing the damages. A moiety of the decree was really against the libelants, as owner and master of the Beaconsfield, or rather against Libbey and Magoun, sureties, upon their stipulation.
Both parties appealed to the circuit court, which reversed the decree of the district court and adjudged the Britannia to be solely in fault. The owner of the Britannia appealed, but Cotton, master of the Beaconsfield, who in the meantime had become sole libelant, did not appeal from the decree dismissing his libel against his own vessel, for the obvious reason that his position as libelant of his own vessel for damage to her cargo was forced upon him by the act of the French company, and conflicted with his interest as representing the owner of the Beaconsfield. In this Court, the decree of the circuit court was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings in conformity with the opinion. This opinion stated that the conclusion reached in this Court was the same as that arrived at in the district court,
"and accordingly we reverse the three decrees and remand the causes to the circuit court with directions to enter decrees in accordance with this opinion, that both vessels were in fault, and that the damages should be divided."
153 U.S. 153 U. S. 144. The result of this was virtually a restoration of the decree of the district court dividing the damages and awarding to Cotton, master of the Beaconsfield, and bailee of her cargo, a decree against the Beaconsfield for one-half the damages. chanrobles.com-red
In this juncture, the proctors for Elizabeth Cleugh, administratrix (who in the meantime had become owner of the Beaconsfield), and Cotton, were instructed by their clients not to consent to any decree against the Beaconsfield, upon the ground that they, Cotton and Cleugh, had only consented to be libelants, as bailees of the cargo, against the Britannia, and they (the proctors) were forbidden to use their names for any decree against the Beaconsfield. Upon libelants' motion, Sanbern, the owner of the cargo, was then substituted as libelant in the place of Cotton, and a final decree entered against the Beaconsfield in the circuit court for a moiety of the damages, and the sureties ordered to show cause why execution should not issue against them.
We know of no reason why this decree should not have been granted. Sanbern had a right to suppose that his interests as owner of the cargo would be protected by Cotton, who was suing as his bailee. Had he sued in person, he could, and probably would, have libeled both vessels, and ought not to be prejudiced by the fact that Cotton, assuming to act for him, libeled but one. When the Beaconsfield was drawn into the litigation by the petition of the French company, and his own vessel thus made to respond to his libel, Cotton should have either withdrawn from the suit and asked that Sanbern be substituted, or in his answer to the petition of the French company should at least have set up any defense he might have had against the owner of the cargo arising under the bill of lading or from any other cause. If the attention of the court had then been drawn to the fact that Cotton was occupying inconsistent positions, it would doubtless have ordered the owner of the cargo to be substituted for him as libelant. Had no petition been filed against the Beaconsfield by the French company, the case would have stood quite differently, as there would have been no suit against the Beaconsfield upon which a decree could have been rendered. The failure of Cotton to call the attention of the court to the inconsistent positions occupied by him, or, in answering the petition of the French company, to claim any defense arising upon the bill of lading or otherwise, was ample authority for chanrobles.com-red
the court to enter a decree for a moiety of damages against the Beaconsfield.
The failure of Cotton, acting as bailee of the cargo, to appeal from the decree of the circuit court dismissing his libel as against his own vessel is a technical defense which ought not to prejudice the owner of the cargo. If Sanbern had then been the libelant and had failed to appeal from the decree dismissing his libel as against the Beaconsfield, possibly he might be held to be estopped, but he cannot be estopped by the failure of Cotton, who was acting in his own interest in not appealing. In this particular, the case is much like that of The Umbria, 59 F.4d 9, in which a decree was entered in the court below in favor of the owners of the cargo of a vessel sunk in a collision with another vessel, which was there found to be solely in fault; but on appeal by the owner of such vessel -- the owners of the cargo not appealing -- both vessels were found in fault, and a decree was entered dividing the damages. The owners of the cargo, though not appealing, were held to be entitled to a decree against the owner of the sunken vessel to the same extent as though they had appealed. This case goes to the extent of holding that even if Sanbern himself had been the libelant, his failure to appeal from the decree of the circuit court dismissing his libel as against the Beaconsfield would not estop him from recovering against her if such decree were reversed by this Court and both vessels adjudged to be in fault.
It is insisted, however, that the sureties on the stipulation were released by the amendments to the libel, first, continuing it in the name of Cotton alone after the death of Cleugh, instead of in the name of Cotton and Cleugh, as administratrix, and again in substituting Sanbern as owner of the cargo instead of the original libelants. Stipulations in admiralty are not subject to the rigid rules of the common law with respect to the liability of the surety, and so long as the cause of action remains practically the same, a mere change in the name of the libelant, as by substituting the real party in interest for a nominal party, will not avoid the stipulation chanrobles.com-red
as against the sureties, or, as it is stated in some cases, stipulations are to be interpreted as to the extent and limitation of responsibility created by them by the intention of the court which required them, and not by the intention of the parties who are bound by them. It was said by Judge Ware in Lane v. Townsend, 1 Ware 286, 293:
"If therefore there is an ambiguity in the terms of the stipulation, or the construction of them is doubtful, it is not the intention of the party for which we are to inquire, for the will of the party had nothing to do in determining its conditions; the doubt must be removed by consulting the intention of the court, or the law which required the stipulation and dictated its terms."
The introduction, however, of a new cause of action is something which the sureties are not bound to contemplate, and it necessarily follows that they cannot be held. This was the ruling of this Court in the recent case of The Oregon, ante, 158 U. S. 186, in which, after a libel had been filed for a collision and the usual stipulation to answer judgment given, other libels for damages arising from the same collision were filed without a rearrest of the vessel, and it was held that this was a new cause of action, and the court acquired no jurisdiction to render a judgment against the sureties. See also The North Carolina, 15 Pet. 40.
The law upon this subject is nowhere better stated than in The Nied Elwin, 1 Dodson 50, cited and abstracted in The Oregon, in which Sir William Scott held that, in a case of prize, the substitution of the Crown for the captors did not release the sureties, but that they could not be held for a new cause of action, viz., the intervention of hostilities between Great Britain and Denmark, after the stipulation was given. In respect to the first question, he says:
"I cannot entirely accede to the position which has been laid down on behalf of the claimant that these bonds are mere personal securities given to the individual captors, because I think they are given to the court as securities to abide the adjudication of all events at the time impending before it. This Court is not in the habit of considering the effect of bonds precisely in the same limited way as they are viewed by the courts of common
law. In those courts, they are very properly construed as mere personal securities for the benefit of those parties to whom they are given. In this place, they are subject to more enlarged considerations. They are here regarded as pledges or substitutes for the thing itself, in all points fairly in the adjudication before the court."
Even if this action had been at common law, it is not altogether certain that the amendment substituting the name of the real party in interest for a nominal party would not be good. Chapman v. Barney, 129 U. S. 677. The obligation of the sureties to respond for the damage done by the Beaconsfield to her cargo was neither increased nor diminished by a mere change in name of the party libelant.
All the questions certified are therefore answered in the affirmative.
"1. On December 21, 1886, John Lucas Cotton, master, and George Cleugh, owner, of the Beaconsfield, as bailees of her cargo, filed an amended libel against the Britannia in the District Court for the Southern District of New York, to recover the sum of $45,000, damage to such cargo by reason of her collision with the Britannia, for which the latter was charged to have been solely in fault."
"2. On January 7, 1887, the Compagnie Francaise de Navigation a Vapeur, owner of the Britannia, answered this libel, claiming the collision to have been caused solely by the fault of the Beaconsfield."
"3. On the same day, it also filed a petition against the Beaconsfield, reciting the former proceedings, averring the collision to have been caused wholly or partly by the fault of the Beaconsfield; that she ought to be proceeded against in the same suit for the damage to her cargo, and prayed for process against her to the end that she might be condemned for such damage."
"4. The Beaconsfield was arrested under process issued upon this petition, and was released from custody upon her claimant, Cleugh, filing a stipulation for value in the sum of $23,000 with William Libbey and George C. Magoun as sureties."
"5. Subsequently George Cleugh, owner of the Beaconsfield, answered this petition, denying the liability of the Beaconsfield and excepting to the jurisdiction of the court to enforce any liability against her by reason of the proceedings taken under this petition. John Lucas Cotton and George Cleugh, as libelants, also answered this petition, denying liability on the part of the Beaconsfield."
"6. The case came on to be tried in the district court upon these pleadings, and also upon cross-libels by the owners of the Britannia and Beaconsfield against each vessel, respectively, for damages sustained by the vessels themselves. The district court found both vessels to have been in fault, and divided the damages. The case is reported in 34 F.5d 6."
"7. A final decree was entered in the district court July 9, 1889, in favor of Cotton and Cleugh, libelants, against the steamship Britannia and the steamship Beaconsfield in the sum of $50,249.26, and condemning each vessel in a moiety of said sum, amounting to $25,124.63."
"8. Cross-appeals from this decree were taken to the circuit court by George Cleugh, claimant of the Beaconsfield, and the Compagnie Francaise, claimant of the Britannia."
"9. Pending these appeals, and on October 3, 1890, Elizabeth Cleugh was substituted as claimant of the Beaconsfield, in place of George Cleugh, deceased, and the libel of John Lucas Cotton and George Cleugh against the Britannia was continued in the name of Cotton alone."
"10. Upon hearing in the circuit court upon the cross-appeals, the decree of the district court was reversed, and the Britannia found to have been solely in fault for the collision. 42 F. 67; 43 F. 96. A decree was thereupon entered in favor of Cotton, as bailee of the cargo of wheat laden on the Beaconsfield, against the Britannia in the sum of $53,907.11."
"11. From this decree the Compagnie Francaise appealed to the supreme court October 8, 1890. John Lucas Cotton, libelant, did not appeal from the decree of the circuit court."
"12. The appeal of the Compagnie Francaise came on to be heard in the supreme court with the appeals of the Britannia from the decree dismissing her libel against the Beaconsfield, for damage sustained by the vessel itself, and from the decree sustaining the libel of the Beaconsfield against her for like damage sustained in the collision."
"13. In the supreme court, both vessels were found to have been in fault, and a mandate issued directing the decree of the circuit court to be reversed, and the cause to be remanded, with directions to enter a decree in accordance with the opinion of such court, and for further proceedings in conformity, etc."
"14. Upon the further proceedings so ordered, an affidavit was filed, showing that a telegram had been received from the owners of the Beaconsfield as follows:"
"You must not consent to any decree in our names, except against Britannia for half damages. We only agreed to be libelants as bailees of cargo against Britannia. We forbid our names being used in any decree against Beaconsfield for loss of cargo. Please do needful to give effect to this. [Signed] Cleugh, Cotton."
A like telegram was addressed by libelant Cotton to his own counsel.
"15. Libelant then moved, June 1, 1894, that the libel be amended by substituting the name of Albert W. Sanbern, owner of the cargo of the Beaconsfield, as sole libelant in the place of John Lucas Cotton, and for the entry of a final decree in the name of Sanbern. This motion was opposed by Elizabeth Cleugh, claimant of the Beaconsfield, and by the sureties, but was granted by order of June 4, 1894, and on the same day a decree was entered in favor of Sanbern, as owner of the cargo, against the Britannia and Beaconsfield, for the sum of $63,053.28, and condemning each vessel for one-half of this amount, namely, $31,526.64. By this decree, the stipulators on the part of both steamships were ordered to show cause why execution should not issue against them for the amount of their stipulations."
"16. The sureties upon the stipulation of the Beaconsfield made return to the order to show cause, alleging the filing of the libel by Cotton, master, and Cleugh, owner, of the Beaconsfield, as bailees of the cargo; that there was no allegation of fault on the part of the Beaconsfield in this libel, or in their answer to the petition of the Compagnie Francaise; that the question of liability between the Beaconsfield and the libelants was never actually litigated, and the bills of lading under which the goods were carried had never been interposed by way of defense; that at the time the stipulation was given, Cotton and Cleugh were the parties libelant, and continued to be such until after the final decree in the district court, when the libel was amended by dropping the name of George Cleugh, who had died, and continuing it in the name of Cotton alone, although Elizabeth Cleugh, as administratrix of the co-libelant, was substituted in George Cleugh's place as claimant; that after the mandate was handed down, the libel was again amended by substituting the name of Sanbern, as owner of the cargo, in place of Cotton, one of the bailees. By reasons of these matters. Libbey, the surviving surety, claimed to be exonerated from his liability on the stipulation of value of January 10, 1887. An order was, however, entered directing judgment and execution against Libbey in the amount of his stipulation, $23,000, and judgment was accordingly entered against him."
"17. Thereupon Elizabeth Cleugh, claimant of the Beaconsfield, appealed from the decree against the steamer, and William Libbey, surety, appealed from the judgment against him, to the court of appeals, each assigning separate errors, and bringing up the matters aforesaid for review by such court. Meantime, the decree against the Britannia for a moiety of the damages had been paid."

Super Bowl Space Tech: NASA Makes the Big Game Possible
NASA and the Super Bowl may not be two things you'd normally put in the same sentence together, but Sunday's big game wouldn't be the same without innovative spinoff technologies from space exploration.
From helmets to headsets to the communications satellites that allows fans to watch around the world, NASA's legacy can be found throughout the Super Bowl Sunday experience. So when the Seattle Seahawks face off against Denver's Broncos, the teams will have NASA to thank for some of their basic tech needs.
Here's a look at some of the NASA's space technology spinoffs (and some pop culture, too) that have found their way into Super Bowl:
Helmet foam
Consider the football helmet. On Sunday, players for the Seahawks and Broncos won't venture onto the MetLife Stadium field in East Rutherford, N.J., without one and their filled with tech inspired by NASA. [In Photos: NFL Stadiums That Have Hosted the Super Bowl]
In the 1960s, engineers at NASA's Ames Research Center in California studied a shock-absorbing foam with the intent of minimizing the stresses suffered by pilots subjected to high g-forces. Known as Temper Foam, or memory foam, the polyurethane material shapes itself around objects after compression and returns to its original form. Today, the material has a wide variety of everyday uses, including serving as the padding inside of football helmets, NASA officials explained in a statement.
Those shiny helmets

Cushion isn't the only part of the helmet NASA had a hand in. The outside shell of the familiar headgear is made of Lexan. Originally developed by a German scientist in the early 1950s, the material caught the eye of NASA engineers, who tested it and realized that it could stop a bullet, a micrometeroid, or the sacking of your favorite quarterback.
Wireless QB radio headsets
Football players aren't the only ones donning space-inspired headgear. After astronaut Gus Grissom nearly drowned when the Liberty Bell 7 capsule completed America's second manned mission, engineers at NASA sought for a way to avoid losing contact with their astronauts. NASA and Pacific Planotronics (now Planotronics, Inc.) jointly developed a way to implant the headsets, which included a noise-canceling feature, inside of an astronaut's helmet. Today, coaches utilize the wireless headsets to communicate with one another along the sidelines. [NASA's New Z-1 Spacesuit Design in Photos]
Satellite communications for TV broadcasts
NASA has helped to improve communication not only between coaches but around the world. With the launch of the NASA-developed Telstar 1 satellite in 1962, the world realized a new era of television broadcasting. Part of a multi-national agreement, the original satellite sought to extend communications across the vast Atlantic Ocean. Today, its descendents allow fans to watch the Super Bowl from 185 countries.
NASA's NFL astronaut
Not all of NASA's football links are quite so direct.
Astronaut Leland Melvin served on two space shuttle missions after he began training as an astronaut in 1998. But he had already gotten up close and personal with NASA's helmet technologies, having been drafted as a wide receiver by the Detroit Lions in 1986. He reported to the Dallas Cowboys the following year, before a pulled hamstring spelled the end of his football career.
Super Bowl coin flips
In 2010, officials made the opening toss of Super Bowl XLIV with a space-flown coin that had traveled to heights only dreamed of by most NFL fans. The silver medallion logged a total of 4 million miles over the course of 171 orbits around the Earth aboard the space shuttle Atlantis, flying with football player-turned-astronaut Melvin. On Jan. 27 of that year, the coin was presented to the Pro Football Hall of Fame before heading to Florida to open the Big Game.
In 1992, television station CBS asked NASA if it would be willing to provide the pre-game coin toss on board the Discovery Space Shuttle. Knowing that a coin flipped in space would never actually land, Canadian astronaut Roberta Bondar held the coin in her right hand and flipped twice in space before releasing it to drift. According to the crew, the coin came up heads, the same as the actual pre-game coin toss came up.
NASA and Super Bowl commercials
The Super Bowl wouldn't be complete without its long-heralded commercials, and NASA has played a role there too, agency officials said.
During the 2011 Super Bowl, NASA'snext-generation humanoid robot Robonaut 2 debuted during a General Motors advertisement that showcased the robot's ability to work alongside humans. The two companies are working to develop climbing legs for the robot to allow it to move outside the football-field sized International Space Station, with the hopes that it can one day take over tasks deemed too dangerous for astronauts.
Though few link football and NASA together, the two share quite a bit of common ground. Athletes may not be kicking field goals on the moon in the near future, but they certainly have quite a few reasons to thank NASA.

With the nearly empty Tokyo Olympic Games in sight, how much is the loss of domestic tourism?
Date: 2021-07-18
The worst Olympics in history are coming soon.
In order to prevent and control the epidemic, as early as March, it was reported that Japan would not admit overseas tourists to the Tokyo Olympic Games. The seemingly simple phrase of "no overseas tourists" has not only cost Japan a huge amount of money, but also caused a major blow to the global tourism industry.
Caiser Travel, the exclusive ticketing agent under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Olympic Committee for the Tokyo Olympic Games, is the first to focus on the Chinese market. Touellers are unable to get in, and prepaid ticket packages have triggered a wave of ticket refunds.
Global travel information to Caesar tourism public relations responsible person to consult the relevant situation, Caesar Olympic project responsible person said:
About the Tokyo Olympic Games refund related matters, the company is actively and steadily processing. In line with the original intention of protecting the personal rights and interests of tourists to the greatest extent, the company will deal with the appeals of each consumer who buys Olympic products one by one to ensure that the personal interests of consumers are protected.
For guests who purchase tickets alone, tickets plus hotel, car and other packages, we will go through the procedures of refunding and unbooking according to the relevant cancellation policies. There is no clear solution to the unsubscription and refund policy of many overseas resources, which can only be provided after the end of the Olympic Games. In the meantime, we will actively communicate with the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games and various local tourism agencies in Tokyo, and try our best to shorten the refund process.
According to public information, CAISAR Tourism has predicted that the Tokyo Olympic Games will attract more than 500,000 Chinese tourists to Japan to watch the games, and points out that the resulting ecological links such as catering, accommodation and travel will stimulate the consumption of users and enterprises, which will greatly boost the performance of CAISAR Tourism.
Take a package launched by CAESA for example, "Live a Dream in Tokyo" -- 5 days and 4 nights free trip (ticket for group fencing competition + round-trip air ticket + travel accident insurance). The free trip project costs from 7,599 yuan per person, and the travel cost for tourists to Tokyo Olympic Games is not low. Judging from the amount of refund application on the Black Cat platform, it can be found that basically the amount of each refund involved is more than 10,000 yuan.
In order to refund all the money in a short period of time, the pressure on Caesars Travel is self-evident. According to Kaiser's financial report for the first quarter of 2021, as of March 31, 2021, the total monetary capital of Kaiser Tourism was 16.1 million yuan.
In fact, in addition to Caesar Tourism, there are more Chinese tourism enterprises in this Olympic investment "blood loss".
The Beijing News once reported: the outside world estimated that Alibaba spent a total of about 800 million US dollars to get the TOP sponsorship for three consecutive Olympic Games; Then in 2019, based on the Tokyo Olympic Games, Alibaba also launched the Tokyo Olympic Games during the theme of "booking accommodation and sending event tickets" package. Now, Alibaba has announced that orders can be refunded without loss.
The Tokyo Olympic Games had to give this to the heat of Japanese real estate investment added a fire, a large group of investors, individual investors flocked to the Japan open commercial real estate, overseas real estate buyers, according to a set of data network in the network in the first quarter of 2019 in Japanese real estate consulting index of 8933.3, up 1260.9%, year-on-year growth of 179%.
Before the outbreak, hotel and homestay prices were expected to skyrocket during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The Nikkei Business magazine reported in December 2019 that the price of B&B in downtown Tokyo is expected to rise to 450,000 yen (28,800 yuan) during the opening ceremony of the 2020 Olympic Games on July 24 and 25. The price of B&B in downtown Tokyo may be only 20,000 yen (1,280 yuan) at ordinary times.
With the arrival of the epidemic and the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics, the investment boom in Japan, which was triggered by the Olympic economy, has almost died down, and these players are likely to face the ground. According to Global Travel News, "Manzi B&B Street," which was a sensation in 2018, has also withdrawn from the Japanese market.
In 2020, Japanese hotels are facing a wave of bankruptcy. According to a report released in January by Tokyo Shoko Research, a Japanese think tank, 118 hotels in Japan have declared bankruptcy in 2020, with a year-on-year increase of 57.3%. It is the first time since 2013 that more than 100 hotels have gone bankrupt in Japan, with more than 58 billion yen in debt resulting from the failure.
It is not hard to see that the biggest "sufferer" of the Olympic Games is Japan.
The Japanese government had high hopes for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. "I want the Olympics to be a trigger to wipe out 15 years of deflation and recession," Abe said bluntly as early as 2013. Hosting the Olympics can stimulate the local economy, which has become a global consensus since the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984.
But those hopes have been dashed by the global outbreak and Japan's own failure to contain it.
Overseas visitors were turned away and the Tokyo Olympics were nearly empty, costing the tourism industry a lot. According to the 21st Century Business Report, Japan had expected 8 million visitors for the Games, and assuming each person spent 文章,000 to $2,000 in the region, the total could reach more than $20 billion, plus the subsequent boost to manufacturing and the potential for the Tokyo Olympics to boost Japan's economy. While Japan has had one of its quietest Olympics yet, the tourism nightmare continues.

The idea is to raise awareness and help make life easier for those bringing up children with additional needs - whether that's parents, grandparents, adoptive parents, or carers. Their comment is:
'We can't all be experts in the many aspects of disability, but we can all make an effort to hold back on the instant judgement, hit the empathy button and consciously try to act in a respectful and constructive way.'
I think that in order to help others help us parents of children with additional needs more, we need to help inform the general public more. A lot of ignorance is exactly that - a lack of understanding. How can people be expected to understand if we don't tell it how it is? I think that is what has driven me to be so open here and carry on with my blog about our lives - if just one person who will be around Sasha now or in the future reads it, maybe they will have a better understanding of how she is or how best to help her, and seeing her being helped is what makes my life easier.
So This Is My Child. As the title says though, what's important to me is that there are two children here. We have two beautiful girls (yes, I'm biased, I've said that before). Often, siblings are forgotten when it comes to special needs. Not usually by their own parents, for we try even harder to make up for the difficulties they face. The challenges they go through daily are generally unseen and so not appreciated by others outside the home, and they don't generally ask for rewards for their great efforts. They are the unsung heroes and I firmly believe we should give them extra support and rewards.
So, we have Tamsin, aged 8, and Sasha, aged 6. Today was Back To School day and you can read about my feelings on that in my recent post #ThisIsMyChild. Back To School.
Tamsin is a quiet, sensitive, caring kind of girl who is well liked and does well at school but often disappears into the background as she is shy and not very confident. She's an indoors type of girl who loves One Direction and JLS along with her hundreds of soft toys, and she has enjoyed after school activities such as gym, swimming, ballet, jazz, cookery, art, French, netball and rounders at different times. She gave football a go but has always been a girlie girl so I wasn't overly surprised when she asked to drop it! She struggles with handwriting, and we found out recently that she has mild hypermobility which makes it difficult for her to hold the pencil properly. I'd love to give her a big boost of confidence somehow (I often tell her how fab she is of course!) and to be able to help her improve her handwriting which she is demotivated about. With Tamsin, you would not need to approach her or react to her in any way different than you would any other 'average' (some refer to this as NT or NeuroTypical) child.
Sasha is a loud, energetic, curious kind of girl who is diagnosed with autism. We believe she has a type of autism called PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) which you can read lot more about on this fabulous resource page www.pdaresource.com. Sasha is an outdoors type of girl who loves her family and friends and her one soft toy, Terry the Turtle, who goes most places with us. She has tried a couple of after school clubs like ballet and swimming but does not find it easy to follow instructions and so the only activity she has maintained is Little Gym, probably because the team have always been fab with her and it's not too structured. Sasha's speech has always been a little delayed - right now the NHS speech team (if you can call it that, but don't get me started) says her speech expression and understanding is about on a par with her peers, but her speech sounds are delayed. I'm not sure I fully agree with that, but she's not far off them I guess. Her favourite word at the moment is 'boring', but she doesn't use it in a way that her peers would; she doesn't fully understand its meaning. She uses it any time she feels she can't do anything, for any reason - so that could be just because she finds it difficult, not because she's not enjoying it. She will also often say 'Don't tell me', even if you are asking her a question - what she means by that is that she is a bit overloaded and can't think of what her answer should be. So it's best to only talk to Sasha when she is happy to be talked to, and to keep the conversation short and interesting to her....
Sasha is very easy going and happy when things are being done which suit her. That sounds as if she never does anything she doesn't like... well to be honest, she doesn't very often! We've learnt to live with that as constant meltdowns would be unbearable. I always struggle to explain Sasha's condition to other people, as I fully realise that it sounds as if she is just a naughty child who wants her own way all the time. It's not like that, and I can only really tell the difference as we are also bringing up a girl who does not have autism and the need to be in control - of course Tamsin would love control like Sasha has, but there's no need for her and so we parent her in the 'normal' way. We understand the difference because we spend so much time with both of them of course, and there's a lot of 'managing' done around here to keep the household on an even (ish!) keel.
I'm so relieved the first day Back To School was a happy one for both of them. Do you ever wonder what is going on behind the smiles though?
So how can you help us, or other families with additional needs children? By listening and reading (which if you've got this far, you already have, so thank you!), asking questions any time, maybe just remembering that we live a roller coaster life full of big ups and downs, and by sharing our story with others - Facebook, Tweet, Social Media it away pretty please!

Snowball Earth is a really interesting game, both in how it failed and in the things it did well, so it provides tons of material for future blogposts. Today: what it is, and why it was cancelled!
Snowball Earth Prototype
Note that because this is an early prototype, this is all pretty unpolished! No tutorial, ridiculously long loading times, quite a few bugs and it only plays well with an Xbox 360 controller. However, the concepts of the game are really interesting and work well, so give it a try!
The trailer that we made early 2008 to pitch the game to publishers. Showing the player in the trailer was all the hype in Wii commercials at the time, so we tried a bit of that here.
Snowball Earth was our first official game as Ronimo Games. De Blob was not entirely made with the same team, and for Snowball Earth we had decided to really start our own company and make a commercial game. We were still students at the time, and this was our group-graduation-project. After we graduated, we kept working on it, but mainly on extra stuff, like the puzzles prototype that is also in the Torrent. The main game that we are releasing today was basically our graduation project at the Utrecht School of the Arts, and it was also our official start as a company.
Snowball Earth was to be a console game for the Wii or the Xbox 360. A 3D adventure in the style of Ratchet & Clank, although for our first game we wanted to keep things a bit simpler and more doable than the fantastic Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools Of Destruction, which launched around that time, and was a big inspiration for us.
After the colouring gameplay of De Blob, we wanted to find some new innovative mechanics, and went all out on that. So much so, that we ended up with not one, but two really interesting mechanics. These two mechanics are not just what makes Snowball Earth shine, but also its downfall...
The first and most striking mechanic is the melting. The entire world is frozen, and the player melts the snow by simply moving through it. This is a pretty spectecular effect: snow turns into puddles and then into grass, plants pop up everywhere and the ice disappears from the rocks. It is quite a sight to behold, and simply walking around while transforming the world around you is already a lot of fun.
When melting is enabled, everything around the player comes to life. I consider this completely dynamic system one of the most impressive things we have made so far. It was also an enormous amount of handwork to create, though...
The sound effects for Snowball Earth were made by Aline Bruijns, and the music by Erik van Woudenberg. They graduated in audio in the same year as we graduated in game development, and they did some great sound work on Snowball Earth! Aline later started the sound studio Audio Rally Sound Design.

By now several other games have done kind of similar mechanics, like Prince of Persia 2008's restoration of life after a boss has been killed. The effect there is a lot less dynamic, but it was still kind off odd to see a game release with a similar idea after we had already cancelled our own take on it. (By the way, I absolutely love that Prince of Persia game, definitely my favourite in the series! I think it's a very rare open-world platforming gem!)
The other unique mechanic of Snowball Earth are the Robodogs. These are little robots that run along with the player. When you shoot them with the right stick, they become physics balls and can be used as projectiles in combat, or to get them to spots where the player cannot go. The player can press the right trigger to pull them back. This allowed for some great combat and puzzles. For example, hitting enemies in the back does extra damage, so deliberately shooting your Robodogs past an enemy and then pulling them to hit him in the back is a great tactic, and a lot of fun to do.
The physics gameplay with the Robodogs turning into balls.
In terms of story, the premise was as weird as one would expect of a Ronimo game. In prehistoric times, a little alien robot on an orbiting spaceship accidentally pressed the wrong button and thus froze the entire earth! As punishment, he is sent down to fix his mistake. He goes looking for sources of heat, like volcanoes, to melt the snow. However, during his quest he finds strange fridges everywhere, and discovers that he has been deceived: a fridge manufacturing company has illegally sold all these fridges to the yetis, and this is what really froze the earth! On his epic quest, our little hero must battle the evil polar animals, close all the fridges, and prove his innocence!
With the two unique mechanics and all the hard work that went into Snowball Earth, why was the game cancelled? The answer is quite simple: no publisher was willing to fund the game, and it was too big to make ourselves. We pitched to all the big publishers: dozens of meetings at Gamescom 2007 and GDC 2008. Quite a few liked the game and kept communications with us going, and some even invited us to do internal pitches to the entire team in their offices, but in the end no one wanted to really go with this.
I think there were two main reasons why publishers didn't want to fund us. The most important was properly that we had no track record. Making a big 3D game with a team that has no console experience whatsoever is an extremely risky endeavour, and no publisher would want to fund that until we had proven that we could actually finish a game on console.
At the time I was totally convinced that we could make this game, but right now I am very happy that no one funded us. We wanted to make the game in only 1.5 years, and wanted to grow the team from 7 to 15 developers for that. Just finding 8 experienced developers is already a difficult challenge... Let alone finishing such a big game with such an inexperienced team!
Swords & Soldiers and Awesomenauts were both much more realistic plans than Snowball Earth, and they both took way longer than we expected. If we had actually started making Snowball Earth, it would probably have taken us at least 3 years to make it. In fact, with our current team (13 full-time developers plus a number of interns) and my current experience (two multi-platform console titles), we still wouldn't be able to make this in 1.5 years. Snowball Earth was just way too big for our team size and total lack of experience at the time...

The other reason publishers didn't want to fund the game, is that it was a difficult sell to their marketing departments. What similar games were out there, and had been a success? At that point 3D platforming had not been a big market for years (except for Mario Galaxy, of course), and our game also had all these original mechanics that could not be easily compared to other marketing campaigns.
Of course, I know now that making weird stuff is a good way to gain attention and thus great marketing for indie studios like us, so I don't necessarily agree with these marketing arguments. But there is another, deeper problem within Snowball Earth: the mechanics around the Robodogs were all pretty complex, and thus for a slightly more mature audience. The melting mechanics, however, were very kids-friendly, but didn't bring us any gameplay depth besides the simple fun of walking around melting everything. So our two innovative gameplay concepts just didn't mingle all that well. Now add that our main characters were robots, and that robots just don't work for mass audiences. Except in Wall-e, of course, but that's not enough to go by.
We tried addressing these issues by focussing more on the physics gameplay. So after we had graduated and had finished the main prototype, our game designers made a whole bunch of puzzle levels. They bundled those in a prototype level with hardly any graphics, but some really interesting gameplay. This level is much less polished, and the physics are not precise enough for such puzzles, but it does show the great potential of these mechanics. With more time, I think we could have turned that into a great 3rd person physics puzzler. These puzzles are pretty difficult with all their bugs and the lack of a tutorial, but I still think the ideas are great, so they have been included as a second level in the version of the game that we are releasing today.
Some gameplay from the puzzles level of Snowball Earth.
To react to the publisher critique on the robots, we also made tons of designs for non-robot characters. We have some absolutely ridiculous concept art of dogs in round spacesuits, so I will post those soon as well!
After a year of work on the game and no money and no publisher, we finally got access to Wii devkits. This allowed us to start developing Snowball Earth on console, so that we could finally prove to publishers that we could actually make this game. However, what if publishers still didn't want the game at that point? Then we would have wasted even more time on what already seemed like a failed project! So we decided to cancel Snowball Earth altogether, and start working on something smaller, something that we could actually finish ourselves, on those Wii devkits that we got. The became a little game called Swords & Soldiers...
(Of course, the history from then on was paved with a lot more success: Swords & Soldiers came out on Wii, PS3, PC, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android, and got great reviews and won several awards. Awesomenauts was recently released on PS3, 360 and PC, again to great reviews. Seeing Snowball Earth fail because it was too big, was exactly the lesson we needed to learn to keep it smaller and more doable in our next games!)

You may be thinking it's time to start doing some renovations on your yard, but you're still not sure if you should spend the majority of your outdoor renovation budget on the front yard or in the backyard. Before you come to a decision, read on to see what you should consider before you come to a decision. Let's dig in, shall we?
The Front Yard
Curb appeal is very important to anyone arriving at your home for the first time. First impressions are everything – a lot of people judge your entire home by the front yard alone! This is especially true if most of the other homes in your neighbourhood have landscaped and well-maintained front yards. Most people who are looking into buying a home, as well as home appraisers, will be looking at the front yard of a home with keen eyes. If you're thinking of selling your home in the near future it may be wise to invest more time and money into the front.
The Backyard
If your family enjoys spending time in your yard, the back of your home is a wise place to invest your money. Building a deck to dine and relax on is a great investment for both your enjoyment and property value. Be wary not to spend too much time and money on landscaping your gardens and lawn, though. This can create a lot of upkeep and having too many areas of flowers and trees can overwhelm your yard.
Building an "outdoor room", which is basically a pergola-style structure with a proper floor, walls or rails and roof, has become popular over the past few years and will allow you to have an extra place to sit when entertaining outside. Sometimes these extra "rooms" will likely net you a higher appraisal. A lot of people enjoy seeing extra structures like this when they're looking at buying a home. However, be wary about this investment if you won't use it often. We're lucky to live here in Victoria where it can be used throughout most of the year with a small fire pit or even blankets. If you live in almost any other climate in Canada, your time to use this will be limited to only a few months. You'll need to decide if it's worth the investment.
The Bottom Line
Really any renovation you do on your home – inside or out, front yard or backyard – could increase its value and make it more appealing to potential homebuyers. Not to mention, these improvements create a more enjoyable living environment for you and your family. Think about what's important to your family and decide which part of your yard to concentrate on. You can also divide up your budget and make improvements all around.

SF exists 15 years.
We have come a long way. We have seen the rize and fall of Flash. And the rize of Wordpress theme's.
To be honest we don't like them. In my humbly opinion Wordpress theme's single handedly eliminated most of the creativity on the web. But luckily it still exists. A lot of those sites you will find here.
Happy new year.

Wow, Africans interested in computational complexity! Don't be fooled, in nearly every case they have no interest in computer science, they just want an easy way to come to Europe, the US or Canada.

These men are extremely skilled.
We had to wait about 2 months after the initial quote given to us by Jonah. Which was communicated to us fairly. But it was well worth the wait.
Tons of competition however, I will not hire anyone else after the Resurrection of our kitchen! Definitely saving this contact for future home projects !

He was just a super professional person, he and his crew were a joy to work with. He also had a second shift come in at night so we could get it done within 2 weeks. I wish we had more work to give him, the experience was that good. My wife literally cried when he was saying good bye. He worked with us very closely and had great ideas of his own. Love this guy! I knew he was our guy the day we first interviewed him. There is a saying among painters, "Cheap painters aren't good and good painters aren't cheap" Jonah and his crew were worth every penny. Look no further, if you want to be over the moon happy with the caliber of the work - call Jonah now."

Guarire dalla corruzione" (Recovering from Corruption) and "Umilta, la strada verso Dio" (Humility: The Road towards God) are the titles of the first two books by the new Pope to be published in Italian. Tomorrow, 26 March, they will be presented to the press at the Curci Hall of the offices of the Jesuit periodical "La Civilta Cattolica".
Written when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires, both texts draw upon the spirituality expressed by St. Ignatius of Loyola in his "Spiritual Exercises" to describe the profound mechanism of corruption in society—including the Church—and to note solutions, among which is the need for an ecclesial life characterized by fraternal charity.
"Guarire dalla corruzione" (orig. "Corrupcion y pecado") is a text on morality. Based on an analysis of the spread of corruption in Argentine society and around the world, it locates the root of this evil within the heart. The text makes a novel distinction between the phenomena of corruption and sin. The afterword is written by Judge Pietro Grasso, president of the Italian Senate and former head of Italy's national anti-mafia prosecutor's agency.
"Umilta, la strada verso Dio" (orig. "Sobre la acusacion de si mismo") has a strongly spiritual character. It introduces a text—widely cited in the book—by Dorotheus of Gaza, a 6th century Church Father, on humility. The book includes an appendix written by the prior of the ecumenical Monastic Community of Bose, Enzo Bianchi, who updates Dorotheus' message through the reading offered by Pope Francis.

How to trim your baby's nails
Should I trim my baby's nails?
Yes. Your baby's nails may be softer and more pliable than yours, but make no mistake – they're sharp! A newborn has little control over his flailing limbs and can easily end up scratching his own face or yours.
Little fingernails grow so fast you may have to cut them several times a week. Toenails require less frequent trimming.
How do I trim my baby's nails without cutting his fingertips?
The best time to do this is while she's sleeping. Another good time is right after a bath, when your baby's nails are softest.
Make sure you have enough light to see what you're doing. Use a pair of baby scissors or clippers made especially to use on tiny fingers. Press the finger pad away from the nail to avoid nicking the skin, and keep a firm hold on your baby's hand as you clip.
Cut fingernails along the curve of the finger. Cut toenails straight across. Then use an emery board to smooth out rough edges.
Doctors recommend using only an emery board in the first few weeks of a new baby's life because nails are very soft. And new parents are also more likely to accidentally clip their baby's skin.
If you decide to give your baby a manicure while she's awake, ask your partner or a friend to hold her and keep her from wiggling too much while you work. Or have someone distract her so she'll let you hold her hand still for the clipping and filing.
Some parents bite their baby's nails into shape, but doing it this way could introduce germs from your mouth into any little cut your baby may have on her finger. You also won't be able to see what you're doing, and you'll find that your baby's finger is tiny compared to your teeth!
If I do cut a fingertip, how do I stop the bleeding?
If you do nick a tiny fingertip, don't be too hard on yourself – it happens to lots of parents. Simply rinse the cut under cool water, then wrap a tissue around your baby's finger and hold it with a little pressure. The bleeding usually stops in a couple of minutes.
Resist the temptation to try to put a bandage on your baby's finger. It's likely to come off when he puts his finger in his mouth, and he could end up choking on it.
Also, doctors don't recommend using a liquid bandage product for babies or toddlers because they'll probably suck it off. If your child has a wound that doesn't stop bleeding, it's a good idea to see your child's doctor.
