Exclusive: Tom Taylor on 'Earth 2,' 'Injustice: Gods Among Us'
The abrupt departure of James Robinson from DC's Earth 2 comic, especially after he'd sounded like he was settling in for the long haul and excitedly talking about spin-off books earlier in the year, made fans of the new-school Justice Society of America nervous about its future, particularly since it tied in with the arrival of a new Earth 2 Batman that could threaten to take the focus off the JSA. When Tom Taylor was tapped to replace Robinson, although with series artist Nicola Scott remaining on board, some of us weren't sure what to think. At least the some of us who hadn't checked into DC's hugely successful digital comic series Injustice: Gods Among Us, of which I must sheepishly admit I was one.
After meeting with the funny and charming Australian writer, though, I'm much more at ease about the future of Earth 2, and I may even finally be sold on buying his video-game tie-in series, too. He sold it that well. Check out our conversation, exclusively here at Crave Online.
CRAVE ONLINE: So, you're taking over Earth 2. What's been your standard response to the fans who are a bit concerned about the direction of the book after the oddly abrupt departure of James Robinson?
TOM TAYLOR: Generally a hug? I just hold them gently and cradle them and rock them, and I find that that nervousness leaves them. And a whole new nervousness takes over. Honestly, I tell them 'look, James has created an incredible world with Nicola, and we're going to take that and run with it.' We're building on that world. We're not razing it.
CRAVE ONLINE: You mentioned at the Comic-Con panel that there would be a big focus on the new Earth 2 Batman.
TAYLOR: He's a large part of it. I think a lot of people got a bit worried when they heard that and went 'what? It's just another Batbook?' It's not just another Batbook. Yes, there's Earth 2 Batman, but there are also going to be some characters nobody's ever experienced before coming along as well, as well as the established ones.
CRAVE ONLINE: New or brand new – as in, new characters entirely and not just new versions of older characters?
TAYLOR: I'll just leave that at 'no comment.'
CRAVE ONLINE: At some point, I'm going to ask you about when Dr. Mid-Nite is showing up, as he was my favorite JSAer.
TAYLOR: He looks great!
CRAVE ONLINE: Do you get to decide who Earth 2 Batman is, if James left before establishing his identity in canon, or will you be running with what James and Nicola originally planned?
TAYLOR: I don't actually know who he is, because I lifted the cowl and there were just fists flying, and that's all I got a look at.
CRAVE ONLINE: (laughs) He could be a weird alien fist-face dude. I'd buy that.
TAYLOR: No, basically we don't want to change things up too much. James had a vision, Nicola had a vision, and I agree with that, and I agree with who that is.
CRAVE ONLINE: Now, it was clarified recently that in Greg Pak's Batman/Superman series, the young Batman and Superman are being thrown across the breach to meet up with the young Batman and Superman of Earth 2. Are you aware of that?
TAYLOR: Not really. Good! That's okay, because they're dead. I don't have to worry about them. Dead, dead, dead, dead.
CRAVE ONLINE: Given that there's someone new under the Batman cowl on Earth 2, might we expect the same for the Superman cape, or can we keep the focus on the JSA and not that Trinity?
TAYLOR: That's a great question that I can't answer. Who knows? We'll see.
CRAVE ONLINE: That's what I was afraid of. I've got all these questions about Earth 2, since I'm a big fan, and you probably can't answer any of them.
TAYLOR: Yeah, the problem is that James' run hasn't finished yet, and his run actually ends with a big shift. He goes out with a bang. So I don't want to say anything that's going to spoil what he's got going. Issue 16 ends with a big bang.
CRAVE ONLINE: How far ahead have you managed to get now?
TAYLOR: I haven't been on too long, but I'm plotting the long game. So, yes, I know what happens in the first three issues. Yes, I know what happens in the first seven. Yes, I know how it all wraps up around my first 18 and what I'd like to do after that. So long game. We're not just going 'hmm, what should we do this week?' 'I don't know, uh, Earth 2 Batman meets The Porcupine.' Hilarity ensues… and spines!
CRAVE ONLINE: I think I would read that, actually.
TAYLOR: Be impressed that I called them spines, by the way, because I think that's an Americanism. I just call them pointy things.
CRAVE ONLINE: Quills, I believe.
TAYLOR: Quills! That's what I would've called them. We're not off-topic at all!
CRAVE ONLINE: How about we jump to Injustice?
TAYLOR: That, I can talk about!
CRAVE ONLINE: Okay, then. So this is a very dark alternate reality. With all of the recent hullabaloo about the question of whether or not Superman kills, how did you feel making him straight-up murder people?
TAYLOR: I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Superman is my absolute hero, and in my mind, I hated doing that to him. Absolutely hated doing that to him, but I think that's possibly why it works. My reluctance to see that happen to him – I didn't want that to happen, so I'm still writing him in a way that you can relate to him and feel sorry for him all the way through. It's a slow transition. I think some people wanted to see 'oh, the death of Lois and he snaps and now he's evil! And he strokes a white cat and laser beams the Eiffel Tower' or something, I don't know. For me, I really didn't want that to happen, I didn't want that to happen to Lois, I didn't want that to happen to Batman and Superman. What I'm writing, essentially, is the breakup of the World's Finest friendship, and once their relationship is irreparable, then my story is done.
We do have a lot of people saying 'yes, I agree with what Superman is doing.' I don't know if you're up to date at all, but we had Apokolips come along and attack. The entire world full of Parademons and people dying every single second, and Superman makes a snap decision. He's basically taking out Kalibak, and Kalibak is saying 'you can hear the screams, can't you? You can hear everybody dying all around the world.' We've got these little word balloons of people screaming 'help' in different languages all around him, and he just loses it. He flies to somewhere like Manila, where Flash is, and they have a time-stopped conversation where Superman is basically pleading with him for another answer, because he knows that every second he wastes, thousands, millions are going to die. He just says "it sounds like you've come to me for permission to kill, and I can't give that to you." And Superman just takes off, looks at the Earth for a second and then flies back down and Parademons all around the world just start exploding everywhere. It's actually him demonstrating his true power.
CRAVE ONLINE: You might've just sold me on that. To be honest, I was hesitant to check Injustice out, on the prejudicial notion that it was a comic based on a fighting game, and…
TAYLOR: It IS like the number one selling digital comic in the world. There are people who like it and everything!
CRAVE ONLINE: I'm aware of that! But I have a personal sort of antipathy towards fighting games in general, and there's a history of video-game tie-in comics that aren't so great.
TAYLOR: I know. Believe me, I know. I completely understand.
CRAVE ONLINE: So I had some reticence, but that sounds very compelling.
TAYLOR: But I told them – I said from day one that I didn't want to tell a video game story. I wanted to tell the best DC universe story I could possibly tell. I was getting my hands on my favorite toys and my favorite heroes, and I was going to do the absolute best job I could do. Despite the fact that this is a prequel to a fighting game, we had Superman and Flash play super-speed chess for an entire issue while discussing big ideas like gun control. That was the whole issue – and Ma and Pa Kent talking to Lex Luthor at the Fortress of Solitude. No one gets hit, nothing explodes and people loved it. So we're doing some very different things, and I've had a lot of freedom on that book.
CRAVE ONLINE: Very good to hear. I will most certainly pick that up. And I told you at some point I'd have to ask you about Dr. Mid-Nite in Earth 2.
TAYLOR: I'm not saying yet.
CRAVE ONLINE: I thought not. But who is your favorite JSAer that you WILL be writing in this book?
TAYLOR: Hmmm. HMMM. I think Green Lantern is probably the most important character in that current book. His role is the most prominently openly gay character in the DCU. That made national news in Australia, so I think he's incredibly important. There are actually a couple of characters coming up that I'm probably most excited to write, but I can't tell you who they are yet. There are two in particular and you'll know them very, very soon, and you'll go 'oh…'
CRAVE ONLINE: Can you tell us why you're excited about them without revealing who they are?
TAYLOR: No. Well, I can tell you that there's going to be a very big emotional core to the book. The last few issues have just been people being pounded on. A lot of death and disaster. We're finding ourselves an emotional core, something that has a real resonance, and I'm very happy to be writing that. Don't worry, there are still explosions and hits, too. People still get punched in the face.

ES Computersysteme
What do you do?My parents bought me a Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer when I was thirteen and kick-started my passion for writing computer software. Since then, I've been fascinated by how easy computers make it to transform mental models into something executable that has observable value. Less than ten years later, in 1991, I founded my own small consulting company "ES Computersysteme" in Germany, which I still run to help my customers get the best out of their computers and their software. These days, I'm specialized in Eclipse Modeling with a particular focus on the CDO Model Repository, which I had the pleasure to author and lead at Eclipse.
How long have you been using Eclipse?I have been using Eclipse since 2003, when I found that the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) is a perfect front-end for the model repository that I had formerly developed in C++ and later ported to Java. One year later, I contributed the first version of CDO as the first component in the newly created EMFT project at Eclipse. During the following decade, I spent almost all my time maintaining and evolving CDO, as well as growing its community. Luckily that included attending all EclipseCons and all Eclipse Summits that took place since 2006. I regard the awesome Eclipse community as my second family. It gave back to me in form of the Eclipse Top Committer award that I was very proud to receive in 2010. Two years later, in 2012, I was given the chance to become a member of the Eclipse Architecture Council.
Quite early in my technical career, I developed a strong affinity to writing my own tools to automate many of the tedious tasks that I had to do more than twice. Last year, that culminated in the development of a small release engineering tool that helped CDO contributors automatically set up a development environment and workspace for CDO. What initially seemed like a minor convenience turned out to attract quite some attention, first of all from my best friend Ed Merks, who wanted to have the same thing for his EMF project. When we had spent the effort to make that setup tool more flexible to cover EMF as well, we realized that nothing prevents it from being applied to any project in the open source or even in private enterprises. So we kept working on it and created a new Eclipse project called "Oomph" earlier this year. Today Oomph is a complete model-based installer for Eclipse products and workspaces and I'd like to encourage everybody to have a look at it and try it.
Name five plugins you use and recommend:It might be more politically correct to name the plugins of others (and in fact I do use tools like XMLBuddy, AnyEdit, etc...) but, given the chance, I'll recommend the following self-made plugins that I can't imagine living without during my daily work:
What's your favorite thing to do when you're not working?As with probably most of the previous spotlight users, there's very little of that kind of spare time. I used to be a passionate inline skater, but that became less pleasant since we moved to the eastern part of Berlin; the side walks are just not made for skating. I love to watch science fiction movies of all sorts and actually that has led to my current big passion: whenever I hear a term in a movie that I don't know I google it and one day that brought me to the wiki pages about the Standard Model of particle physics (SM). Since then, I spend much of my free time reading books about theoretical physics and physical cosmology.

Warning, this is going to be a long post with a lot of ranting, but I would love some thoughts about it if you stay with me to the end. (And there's a great freebie!) A little background before I get started…
In the town where I teach, high school students do an internship for the last 4-5 weeks of their senior year. They can choose from participating local businesses and organizations and they work full time instead of attending classes. It's a great way for the kids to get their feet wet in the "real world" and maybe even explore a future college major or career choice.
A few years ago, I was lucky enough to welcome "N" into my classroom as my first intern. I knew N from years ago, when her younger brother was in my class and she volunteered to help during an after-school craft class that I taught. She even continued volunteering for years after she left our school, taking an extra bus and walking from the middle school. Even at a young age I saw something special in N. She had a patient and supportive manner, a creative and contagious enthusiasm and a natural ability for working with young kids. I lost track of N a little over the next few years so I was thrilled when she got in touch about doing her internship with me. And the best part? She was planning to pursue teaching when she entered college the next fall.
The time N spent with me that spring confirmed everything I had previously thought about her. That special young girl had blossomed into a phenomenal young lady, and her ability to inspire and connect with young children had matured into a true gift. I was thrilled to be even a small part of journey to becoming a teacher.
When N got to college, she excelled at so many things – she had As in all of her teaching classes, got involved in student government, joined a sorority and also developed a passion for politics. I was (and am) so incredibly proud of her!
Enter Professor Dream-Crusher. Dun dun dun!! Last semester, N took a class with this
First of all, way to be unsupportive, Professor Cretin. As teachers, we have a duty to encourage students, not kick them when they're down. If N was indeed doing C work (which I find doubtful) you could have used your expertise to help her find her way, but instead you decided to shatter her dreams! Shame on you, Professor Dimwit!
Secondly, I believe that the teachers that make the most impact on their students at any level, from kindergarten through college, are the ones that have a true passion for teaching. If this misguided professor still had such a passion, I don't believe he would have treated a student so insensitively. So perhaps in this case, the student can inspire the teacher. Take a look at N, Professor I-Have-No-Business-Shaping-Young-Minds – that's what passion looks like!
Lastly, I feel it would be absolutely tragic for the teaching field to lose such a gifted spirit before she even gets started. I've worked with seasoned veteran teachers who don't hold a candle to N, and I even told my principal to keep his eyes open for her resume in a few years.
OK, end of rant.
N, if you're reading this, I have one wish for you as you're on the path to discovering who you are and who you want to become. I wish with all of my heart that you follow your heart. Listen to what it tells you, and block out not only the voices of jaded professors, but also the well-intentioned voices of family and friends. Ignore even the advice of your #1 fan (me). If you decide that your passion is teaching, then go full throttle! You can pursue your interest in politics by getting involved in local campaigns. If you decide that your passion is politics, then follow that path. You can always volunteer at a local school or youth program to share your gift with kids in need. Just make sure that it is your own voice that speaks to you the loudest!
In honor of N, who from what I hear is currently obsessed with bees, I have a little Flash Freebie for you.
If you leave a comment with some advice for N or you leave a comment letting me know that you, like N, are studying to be a teacher, I'll send you my "Bee Responsible" Emergent Reader and Craftivity pack. Be sure to leave your email and don't dawdle – this Flash Freebie ends Monday night!
Love you, N!

Requirements By Download Apk Files | Android Apps | Android Market | Downloaddroidapk.blogspot.com: Android OS 1.6+
Overview: This app contains a set of tiny tools: a flashlight, a ruler, a timer, a stop watch, a compass a bubble level, a calculator, a magnifying glass (Android 2.2+ required) and a mirror (Android 2.3+ and front camera required).
Each tool does what it is supposed to do. There's no space for special effects like 3d compass, talking level, psychedelic flashlight etc: the goal is to have a lightweight, fast and easy to use set of tools, one "tap" away from your home screen.
This app is half the size of a common "standalone tool" like a compass, a flashlight or a magnifying glass. This way you'll save a lot of disk space. You'll save network consumption too, not only for the first download but for every update too.
It doesn't require network access, the permission to write on your flash memory or the permission to read your contacts.
Suggestions, like new features to implement, new tools etc. are welcome. If you want to contribute a translation, please let us know by sending us an email ;)
If you find a bug, please contact us using the "Report a bug" main menu function.
Note: if you write a comment on the Android Market without sending us an email, it's difficult for us to fix the problem, because usually we need some information (such as smartphone type and version, a way to replicate the problem, etc.)
- Depending on the hardware capabilities of your smartphone, some tools may not be present
- The permission to use the camera is required in order to turn on the camera flash LED. Some smartphones (for instance the Google Nexus S) don't light the flash LED if the camera is not running. If you check the most popular flashlight apps, you'll find out that they all require this permission. Swiss Army Knife doesn't shot any photos, doesn't save multimedia info onto the flash card and doesn't send anything on the internet: it doesn't require the network permission at all.
What's in this version:
- New tool: Mirror (needs front camera and android >= 2.3)
- Level: Now can be used upside down
- Level, Compass: improved rendering on smaller screens
- Timer: Now uses standard notifications system and can run up to four timers simultaneously.
- Flashlight: now you can turn on/off the light using volume buttons
- Stop watch: now you can start, get laptime, stop and reset it by using volume buttons
- Magnifying glass: various improvements
- … Tons of bugfixing and performance improvements!

Decatur Depot
At 9:00 a.m. on August 4, 2015 officials held a brief "topping off" ceremony at the historic Decatur railroad depot. This ceremony entailed placing via a large crane a virtually exact replica design cupola on the depot as it was when the depot was constructed in 1905.
The original cupola is clearly evident in early pictures of the depot but did not exist by the 1940s—and possibly before.
The depot was erected by the Southern Railway whose chief architect in 1905 was the nationally famous Frank Pierce Milburn who generally designed depots in the Spanish Revival style of architecture, the same style as the Decatur depot. The Decatur depot was later used by both the Southern and L&N Railroads, therefore, was for many years considered a "union" depot.
About 75 officials and members of the public attended the topping off ceremony including Mayor Don Kyle and City Council President Gary Hammon together with Morgan County Commission Chairman Ray Long. Also attending was 94 year old Ross Malone who worked in the depot for about 35 years beginning in 1947 as well as many historical railroad enthusiast citizens. Decatur was the eastern terminus of the Tuscumbia, Courtland and Decatur Railroad, the nation's first railroad west of the Allegheny Mountains. The city has a railroad history spanning more than 180 years.
Participants included 94 year old Ross Malone (who worked in the Depot for 30+ years beginning in 1947), Bill Wyker (life-long Decatur resident and local businessman whose family established Wyker Hardware on Bank St. in 1888—Ross Malone was the caddy as a young man for Bill's dad Billy Wyker when BW golfed at Decatur Country Club. Bill and Ross have been friends virtually Bill's entire life), David Breland (Director of Historic Resources and Events, City of Decatur and life-long Decatur resident), Wally Terry (life-long Decatur resident and Director of Economic Resources (Building, Planning and Community Development Departments) for the City of Decatur and Allen Stover may have made a brief appearance (he is the Grants Administrator for the City of Decatur and instrumental in the restoration of the Depot).
Ross Malone and the others talked about the layout of the Depot in the 1940s, various jobs and people who undertook them during this time period both in the Depot and the Railway Express Agency, railroads themselves and related businesses.
We also discussed the history of Decatur's downtown during this era including locations of various long-gone landmarks such as hotels, restaurants, the Decatur City Hall and other government buildings. We discussed how segregation of the races affected operation of the Depot during that era. Many former leaders and interesting personalities (now deceased) in the city were discussed as well.
Ross took us on a complete tour of the interior of the Depot outlining where various rooms originally were located as well as their purposes. We also discussed when Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Roy Campanella and other Major League Baseball hall of famers would come to Decatur to play barnstorm games against Decatur semi-pro and pro stars Ross Malone, Junior Vaughn and Leo Gray (the latter two played professional baseball in the old Negro League). A great walk down memory lane….

Top 10 Landmark Judgements of Intellectual Property Rights Law covering Trademark, Copyright, and Patent Law
- Bajaj Auto Limited Vs. TVS Motor Company Limited 2008(36) PTC 417 (Mad.)
In the instant case, there was a patent dispute subsisting for over two years between two countries involved in a dispute for using twin spark plug engine technology.
Looking at the pendency of appeals relating to Intellectual Property Rights cases in Indian courts, J. Markandey Katju speaking for himself and J. Ashok Kumar Ganguly directed all the courts in India for expeditious disposal of cases involving trademarks, patent and copywrights. The Supreme Court also directed the judgement should be given within four months from the date when the suit was filed. The Supreme Court also directed to all the courts and tribunals in the country to punctually and faithfully carry out the aforesaid orders.
- Bayer Corporation and ors. V. Union of India and ors. 162(2009) DLT 371
In this interesting case, Bayer Corporation attempted to link the case of patent infringement to granting marketing approval of a drug made by Cipla. This concept of Drug-Patent Linkage is present in USA. The Hon'ble High Court of Delhi pronounced there is no Drug Patent Linkage mechanism in India and only the Controller of Patents has the authority to determine patent standards. It was also held that mere market approval of a drug does not lead to patent infringement and the jurisdiction of which does not lie with Drug authorities.
- The Coca-Cola Company Vs. Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd Manu/DE/2698/2009
The Hon'ble Delhi High Court held that if there is a threat of infringement, then this court would have the jurisdiction. It was also held that the exporting of goods from a country is to be considered as sale within the country from where the goods are exported and the same amounts to infringement of trade mark.
In this case, Bisleri Ltd. had sold the trademark MAAZA including its formulation rights, know-how, IPR and goodwill for India through a master agreement. They applied for registration of TM MAAZA in Turkey and started exporting fruit drink with the same name. It was held by the court that the intention to use the trade mark besides direct or indirect use of the trade mark was sufficient to give jurisdiction to the court to decide on the issue. The court finally granted an interim injunction against the defendant (Bisleri).
- Novartis v. Union of India Civil Appeal No. 2706-2716 of 2013
Novartis filed an application in the instant case for patenting an anti-leukemia drug i.e. Glivic. But the same was rejected by the Assistant Controller of Patents and Designs. He filed a case before the appellate board and when he couldn't get any relief, he appealed to the Supreme Court directly through SLP.
The Supreme Court held that Novartis failed to meet the requirement of novelty. And also thereby failing to qualify for the test of invention as provided for under in section 2(1)(j) and section 2(1)(ja) of the Patents Act, 1970 as a result of the various publications and disclosures already made about the beta crystalline form of the compound used in the drug, Imatinib Mesylate. Further the court decided to interpret efficacy as laid down in section 3(d) of the Act on lines of therapeutic efficacy and not merely physical efficacy. It held that though physical efficacy of imatinib mesylate in beta crystalline form is enhanced in comparison to other forms. But since there was no substantive and conclusive material and evidence to prove that beta crystalline form of imatinib mesylate will produce an enhanced or superior therapeutic efficacy, Novartis failed to meet the requirements under Section 3(d) of the Act. The Supreme Court went with the therapeutic efficacy interpretation over physical efficacy owing to the fact that the compound was of medicinal value.
- Snehlata C. Gupte vs Union of India & Ors. (W.P. (C) No 3516 and 3517 of 2007) Delhi High Court
The question when the patent was considered to be granted under the Patent Act was decided in this case. The Hon'ble Delhi High Court held that the date on which the Controller passes an order to that effect on the file, noted that the language, "A patent shall be granted as expeditiously as possible" (u/s 43) point out that a patent has to be granted once it is found that the application has not been refused in a pre-grant opposition or otherwise is not found in contravention of provisions of this Act.
- Eastern Book Company and others v. DB Modak and another [(2008) 1 SCC 1].
Appellants were involved in the printing and publishing the law report "Supreme Court Cases". The original Judgments were copy-edited by a team of assistant staff of the Appellant and various inputs were put in the judgments and orders to make them user friendly by making an addition of cross-references, standardization or formatting of the text, paragraph numbering, verification and by putting other inputs. Respondents published these judgements through their softwares on CD-ROMs.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court on this issue upheld interim relief to the plaintiff-appellants given by the Delhi High Court and directing that though the respondent-defendants shall be entitled to sell their CD-ROMS with the text of the judgments of the Supreme Court along with their own head notes, editorial notes, they should not in any way copy the extra content apart from the original judgement given by the Supreme Court.
- G. Anand v. Delux Films and Ors. AIR 1978 SC 1613
The Appellant R. G. Anand wrote and produced a play called 'Hum Hindustani' in 1953 which received huge success and was re-staged numerous times. Appellant narrated the entire play 'Hum Hindustani' to the Respondents. Appellant had elaborate discussions regarding filming the play in January, 1955. However, no further communication was made to the Appellant post the discussion. However the respondents proceeded to make the film and appellant filed a suit claiming copyright infringement. The Hon'ble Supreme Court held- There exists no copyright in relation to an idea, subject matter, themes, plots or historical or legendary facts. Infringement is restricted only to the form, manner, arrangement and expression of the idea by the author of the copyright work. The Court should settle on whether the similarities are substantial or fundamental in nature or not with respect to the mode of expression adopted in the work. If substantial or fundamental portion has been copied, then it would amount as infringement. The other reliable test to ascertain whether there is an infringement or not is to analyse the impression created on the spectator or reader subsequent to reading or watching the works (Lay Observer Test).
- Yahoo!, Inc. vs Akash Arora & Anr. 78 (1999) DLT 285
Plaintiff was the owner of the trademark 'Yahoo!' and domain name 'Yahoo.Com'. The Defendants used the name 'Yahooindia' for similar services which was opposed by the Plaintiff.
The Hon'ble Delhi High Court held- The principle underlying the action for passing off is that no man is entitled to carry on his business in such a way as to lead to the belief that he is carrying on the business of another man or to lead to believe that he is carrying on or has any connection with the business carried on by another man. The court reiterated "When a defendant does business under a name which is sufficiently close to the name under which the plaintiff is trading and that name has acquired a reputation and the public at large is likely to be misled that the defendant's business is the business of the plaintiff, or is a branch or department of the plaintiff, the defendant is liable for an action in passing off." Injunction was granted in favour of the Plaintiff.
- Kaviraj Pandit Durga Dutt Sharma v. Navaratna Pharmaceutical Laboratories AIR 1965 SC 980
Respondent firm was founded in 1926 under the name of "Navaratna Pharmacy" later changed to "Navaratna Pharmaceutical Laboratories" in 1945. Appellant carried on business which involved preparation of ayurvedic pharmaceutical products under the name of "NavaratnaKalpa Pharmacy" and had been vending medicines prepared by him under the name of "NavaratnaKalpa". The Appellant applied for the registration of "NavaratnaKalpa" as a trademark which was successfully opposed by the Respondent.
The matter reached the Hon'ble Supreme Court which observed- In an action for infringement of a trade mark the onus would be on the Plaintiff (Respondent) to establish that the trade mark used by the Defendant (Appellant) is deceptively similar. This has to be done by a comparison of the two marks. Where the similarity between the Plaintiff's and Defendant's marks is so close either visually, phonetically or otherwise, the Court reaches the conclusion that there is an infringement. No further evidence is required to establish that the Plaintiff's rights are violated.
- Indian Performing Rights Society V. Eastern Indian Motion Pictures Ltd AIR1977 SC1443
IPRS incorporated on 23/08/1969 in the state of Maharashtra governed by Copyright Act 1957 has the authority for issuing licenses for performance in public of all existing future Indian literary and music works for which the copyright subsides in India. IPRS claimed that it is entitled to royalty in case the literary work used in cinematograph films is broadcasted on radio stations as they claimed themselves to be assignees of the literary works and laid down a tariff for the same. The association of cinematograph exhibitors opposed to the same saying that IPRS has absolutely no rights over these works and that the production house was the real owner of copyrights over the literary work in question since composer loses his rights under contract of service between production houses especially when there is a consideration involved.
Appeal was preferred to the Supreme Court after the High Court decision which allowed claim made by the cinematographers association.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court observed-The cinematograph film producer becomes the first owner of the copyright in case he commissions a composer of music, a lyricist, for reward or for a consideration to compose music to be incorporated in the cinematography film as the composer is employed under contract of service. Section 17(c) of copyrights act 1957 lays down that the proprietor becomes the absolute owner in cases of contract of service for valuable consideration unless there is an agreement contrary to it. IPRS cannot claim royalty as the production house has the right over the composition the moment it comes into existence. In this case the producer of the cinematograph film becomes the absolute owner and the authority cannot be questioned.

I am so happy that I am going to make an overview of Kristin Kreuk naked as she is one of my favorite actress…I love Smallville so much and especially I love her character there Lana…She is so hot and just look at her face…so pretty…she is like a princess…Therefore I have decided to include her on my list of the hottest female celebrities and I will give her VIP place among the other stars as she deserves it…no doubt about it. So, what do we do…I have this picture of Kristin Kreuk nude and I think we should rate it, but only at the end of this review.
Before to start discussing her body, I would like you to know some facts about her…she was born on December 30 1982 and just look at this coincidence…today is December 30…Happy birthday Lana…I meal Kristin…I wish you all best as in your career as well as in your personal life…Anyway she is 27 right now, but I would give about 19 or something very close to that number…
I thought Kristin Kreuk is about 5'1 of height or something like that…but it turns out she is 5'4…Probably I thought she was smaller because her character was almost always with Clark Kent in Smallville…and Tom Welling is a lot taller than her.
Kristin Kreuk boobs are quite small I think, but she does not need to have big…she has well proportioned body and big tits will only ruin that balance… Checkout Kristin Kreuk topless pics and you will understand what I am saying.
Now I want to say that Kristin Kreuk ass is the cutest one I now…no, really…it is so elastic and smooth…I wish I could see Kristin Kreuk bikini pic just once…I am sure there are plenty of them on the web…I need to search them.

Daniel Henninger's Wall Street Journal Wonder Land column is the column of the day: "Iraq syndrome has finally arrived." Henninger writes:
The Vietnam Syndrome, a loss of confidence in the efficacy of American military engagement, was mainly a failure of U.S. elites. But it's different this time. This presidency has been steadfast in war. No matter. In a piece this week on the White House's efforts to rally the nation to the idea of defeating terrorism abroad to thwart another attack on the U.S., the AP's Nedra Pickler wrote: "But that hasn't kept the violence and unrest out of the headlines every day." This time the despondency looks to be penetrating the general population. And the issue isn't just body counts; it's more than that.
The missions in Iraq and Afghanistan grew from the moral outrage of September 11. U.S. troops, the best this country has yet produced, went overseas to defend us against repeating that day. Now it isn't just that the war on terror has proven hard; the men and women fighting for us, the magnificent 99%, are being soiled in a repetitive, public way that is unbearable.
The greatest danger at this moment is that the American public will decide it wants to pull back because it has concluded that when the U.S. goes in, it always gets hung out to dry.
Two major military reports will come out soon on the Haditha incident, and no one will gainsay justice if that is required. But the atmosphere around this event is going to get uncontrollably manic, and that will feed the dark, inward-turning sentiments already poisoning the country's mood over issues like the immigration debate.
Good for Democrats? Don't count on it. After this, the public appetite for a Democratic president's "humanitarian" military intervention in a Darfur or East Timor will be close to zero.
One suspects that U.S. troops were party to some awful events in the Pacific and European theaters of World War II, all gone in the mists of history and the enemy's defeat. Not now. Gen. Chiarelli's magnificent "99.9%" notwithstanding, it's the phenomenon of the so-very-public 0.01%–at Abu Ghraib, on an Afghan street, at Haditha–that is breaking America's will this time.

When New York matchmaker Addison St. Claire is tasked with matching her best
friend's new brother-in-law, she almost refuses. But the sexy southern CEO turns out to be a challenge she can't resist, because if anyone needs to meet his soul mate, it's this man. And if matching him with someone else removes the temptation of being near him? Even better.
The last thing Caine McNeill needs is a matchmaker—especially a gorgeous redhead who spouts nonsense about soul mates, critiques what he drives and how he dresses, buys him a dog, and pesters him about a million little things he couldn't care less about. It's a crying shame he has to keep his hands off because chemistry like what's flaring between them ought to be explored. Thoroughly.
And so the battle begins. Addison is determined to stick to her plan of setting him up on dates with other women, and Caine is equally determined to ignore these women and seduce her.
Another really fun one from Entangled's Lovestruck imprint. Addison is a matchmaker that doesn't believe in second chances. She firmly believes that everyone has one soul mate and will never find another. Since hers has passes on, she's sworn off even trying to look for date for herself. Her friends sends her down south to try and find a match for her work-a-holic brother-in-law and things really get interesting.
Addison finds herself falling, but refuses to believe it's true. A good chunk of the book is about her running from her feelings. I enjoy this to a certain extent because everyone does this a little, but it lasted a bit too long and was dragged out a little too far. The rest of Addison's parts in the book were fantastic. She really takes her job seriously - even bringing a dog (and then some) to Caine's house to make him more "approachable". The dog was adorable - I want one (or a dozen) now.
Caine is your typical work-a-holic. He sleeps in the office most nights just because it's easier than driving home between 18 hour work days. It's the family business so he feels like he owes it to his father to prove himself and be successful. He's written off having anything else until Addison throws how miserable and boring his life is right in his face.
There is a good dose of healthy confrontation in this book. It was refreshing to see such real-life emotions come into play and tempers flare during conversations. There is just enough meddling to help things move along a bit - with plenty of lecturing on staying out of the lives of others in response. A real life romance that really hit the spot.
*This book was received in exchange for an honest review*

The "Yellow Cloud" guitar that Prince prominently used in the '90s was recently sold at a Heritage Auctions event for $137,500. The winning bid came from Indianapolis Colts owner, and avid memorabilia collector, Jim Irsay.
Prince had this instrument custom made in 1988 and according to the iconic artist's former guitar technician, Zeke Clark, it was even broken once and expertly repaired. "In 1994 he broke the neck of this guitar at a French TV show," Clark said in a letter of authenticity. "After returning to U.S., I repaired neck and installed the first Floyd Rose set up Prince ever played. And then used in recording more albums, up until the symbol guitar was born. After the symbol guitar he wanted 24 addition cloud guitars made to be sold at his outlet store."
This guitar will be the newest addition to Irsay's extensive collection of famous instruments, including, according to Rolling Stone, Bob Dylan's 1965 Newport Folk Festival guitar, Les Paul's "Black Beauty" and Ringo Starr's 1963 Ludwig Oyster Black Pearl drum kit.
Also auctioned off at this Heritage Auctions event were a lock of David Bowie's hair which went for $18,750, Whitney Houston's 2006 driver's licence, and a Fender guitar signed by George Harrison and Eric Clapton. A number of Houston's award statues were also up for auction, including her 1986 Emmy Award, several American Music Awards and an 1986 MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video, but the Emmy has since been removed because a federal judge blocked its sale.

It has been the subject of many debates. Originally grown to create ropes, sails and clothing, and later used medicinally, this hotly contested crop has been a part of human civilization for centuries. The use of marijuana was legally outlawed in the 1930s but in recent years Americans have been rethinking their views on this subject. It has become increasingly acceptable for people who are ill to use the drug for medical purposes. Further, people have begun to question whether marijuana should be treated any different than alcohol, cigarettes or any other item used for relaxation. The changing views on marijuana have led to a movement that's resulted in a wave of changes in the law across America. Marijuana is now legalized for medical use in roughly 28 states and recreational use in another 9. Clearly we have come a long way from the days where the association with propaganda such as "Reefer Madness" was the norm. Users of the popular drug are rejoicing at their 'win' but in my opinion entrepreneurs are the sub-group who should be even more excited.
The marijuana industry currently brings in an estimated $1.6 billion, according to a report from Forbes and the potential only gets higher— no pun intended—with the industry expected to generate approximately $8 billion in revenue by 2018. As more states adopt the modern view towards cannabis and as pressure mounts for legalization at the federal level the opportunity to develop scalable businesses is greater than it has ever been.
The burgeoning industry has become so popular that marijuana-based startups are popping up around the country and niche sources of financing are being developed to support them. The boom has been noticed by respected publications such as Inc. and Entrepreneur which have created 'Top 10' lists and similar categorizations to track some of these young companies. This steady influx of intrigued entrepreneurs has even earned itself a catchy nickname: "The Green Rush."
The business of marijuana may seem like fun and operators may think they can go about it as they would any other business however that if often not usually the case. This is why one attorney has taken the initiative to teach the young, eager entrepreneurs of today about laws relating to this sector. Attorney Marc Ross teaches a Business and Law of Marijuana class at Hofstra University Law School in Hempstead, Long Island.
According to a report from FOX 5 News, Ross started the class in order to teach the students the "legalities and issues attorneys face." Ross also teaches the class because he sees the possibilities that this new industry offers.
"It is a burgeoning multi-billion dollar industry and these students don't see that many possibilities in their lifetime where you have a multi-billion dollar industry," said Ross. Essentially, he would like these students to be able to capitalize on the emergence of a new market.
What's another sign that this industry has arrived? The desire for data analytics. People are not simply opening 'mom and pop' shops to sell a bundle of bush grown in secret in their backyard. The industry has a plethora of brands and products and a few firms have been started to help market participants to develop and leverage market intelligence. One of our clients at The Opes Group has founded one of the leading firms that provides point of sale data of what, where, when, how much and at what prices products are being sold in various states. One can almost think of their service as Bloomberg for Cannabis.
How have subscribers used this service? A certain company was doing very well in one state and decided to launch operations in California. Just as they were about to launch the CEO subscribed to our client's service and learned that the product he was about to launch in California, which was thriving in his home state, was not in high demand in California. He continued with his plan to launch operations in California, but with a different product mix. His launch was successful. Please feel free to contact any of us at The Opes Group if you would like to learn more about this emerging market.
Check out this Washington Post article that provide statistical evidence that marijuana is becoming "mainstream."

VIENNA (Reuters) - Italy does not pose an immediate economic risk within the euro area but it has significant financing needs this year and next that could become an issue over the longer term, European Central Bank policymaker Ewald Nowotny said on Tuesday.
"It is not the case that (there is) an immediate economic threat. Immediately it is rather a political problem," Nowotny told a news conference when asked about Italy. "But in the longer term there is the question of whether I have enough trust on the capital markets."

The Kid Brother (Lorraine)One of the most annoying problems for me in my dissertation is that I must continue to talk about Lorraine in order to talk about Alsace. Everyone knows that they are somehow linked together, Alsace-Lorraine were one of the tensions that caused the first world war, but they were not a natural unit of any sort. Nonetheless, the continuing association of the two regions reveals interesting properties of regionalism: that regions overlap and that in order to understand regions, we must understand how they network with one another. (Note: I had actually started this post in the context of dissertation week, but I got sidetracked.)
Alsace and Lorraine were both part of lEst, the eastern parts of France that were some of the last territories to be conquered and incorporated into the kingdom in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They were separate provinces in Old Regime France, administered by a different corps of bureaucrats. There were several major reasons that they were not one territory in the Old Regime. First, the Vosges Mountain Range separates them from one another, as it separates Alsace from the rest of France. Second, Lorraine was its own duchy with a developed central government, whereas Alsace was a collection of loosely associated towns and cities. Three, the incorporation of both occurred as the result of different warsthe times of incorporation were different, the terms of incorporation were different.
If Alsace and Lorraine had ties to Germany, they did not bring them together. Alsatian tied to Germany were more extensive: Swabia across the Rhine, the Pfalz and Rhineland up the Rhine. Lorrain ties to Germany were weak and local. They were based on its proximity to what is now called the Saarland, and they were based on local commerce along the Moselle River.
There was a legacy of German language and culture, but it was much weaker in Lorraine that it was in Alsace. The bishopric of Nancy acted as a force for promoting French language. German speakers found that they lost economic and social opportunities: many migrated from France to the Americas, becoming the foundations of the German population of the United States. Increasingly the German population was either assimilated, moving to the major cities of Metz and Nancy (or even to Paris), or more isolated, becoming more rural and hugging the border with Germany.
By 1870, just before the Franco-Prussian War, there were no foundations for a territory of Alsace-Lorraine. Lorrains did not go to the University in Strasbourg, even though it was second only to Paris. The cities across the Vosges did not compete with one another. In fact, they felt little of each others influence. If there were any competition, it was between Nancy and Metz, as the former became more important for government and education than the latter.
The annexation brought the eastern part of Lorraine, including the city of Metz, to Germany where it was combined with Alsace to make the Reichsland Elsass-Lothringen (the territory of the Reich of Alsace-Lorraine). Just as they did not love the annexation, the Lorrains (or Mosellians) were not fond of the union with Alsace. More French, they were treated more harshly. Major coal families from the region moved out, such as the de Wendels (one or two members tried to return, but they found working under German laws to harsh). Moreover, Metz and Lorraine were considered a forward area against future wars with France, so priorities were placed on urban reforms that would accommodate large armies. Tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed in Metz, overwhelming the native French population. As Metz was militarized, Alsace received economic advantages and Alsatians were treated better (if not well). The Germans made one improvement: they saved the university, making it a decent regional institution.
Lorrain politicians worked with Alsatians in a number of areas, but when Alsatians looked for accommodation with the German government, the Lorrains formed their own bloc of Catholic politicians that would continue to protest the annexation.
The French fetishized Alsace-Lorraine. Technical, both provinces had ceased to exist by 1870. They had been split up into administrative départements, and three of the four départements that had made up Lorraine remained in France. But the lost territories were treated as if they were one piece. Political tracts critiqued the treatment of Alsatian-Lorrains and maps of France featured a blacked out area where Alsace-Lorraine had once been.
After the war, the name Alsace-Lorraine presented problems. The territories were not returned to the original French structure of départements. They were placed in a transition in which the French government took over the old German administration. In essence, Alsace-Lorraine remained as a unit even as French officials were trying to untangle them. This leads to a confusing nomenclature used to describe three former départements in different contexts: of Alsace-Lorraine, of Alsace and Lorraine, of Alsace and of Lorraine; and those that try to distinguish these territories from French Lorraine: Alsace-Moselle. Each name has a slightly different meaning, and I have to keep this in mind when doing my research.
Coming back to France, Lorraine experienced many of the same problems as Alsace: the French officials who took over the administration were arrogant and spoke only English; they were accustomed to rights and privileges that had no equivalent in French law; they were afraid of secularization of public life. Consequently, Lorrain politicians (like future Euro-saint Robert Schuman) advocated radical decentralization and deconcentration of power. But when Alsatians pushed for the maintenance of a regional regime of Alsace-Lorraine, the Lorrains rejected the notion with verve. On the one hand, they wanted nothing to do with Strasbourg or Alsacethey had monopolized political power and economic opportunities. On the other, they wanted nothing to do with regionalism, and they wanted to return to the territorial and administrative structure that attained in the rest of France.
In the eyes of the Lorrains, there was nothing that attached them to the Alsatians except the decades of tyranny. They wanted their association to die. However, it was no longer a simple question. The Germans had moved institutions in Metz to Strasbourg. The power of Strasbourg continued to suck in the Lorrains. Furthermore, the power and influence of Metz had increased over those same decade, and Metz was struggling against two hegemonic cities. However, a regionalism developed around Nancy that would become a more influential force in Lorraine. The French poured resources and emotions into the remaining départements, building the city up as a counter-example to German annexation. Furthermore, the area developed its own tradition of defensive militarism. Metz returned to a Lorraine with a powerful Nancy that was monopolizing power on its side of the Vosges.
In essence, the people of Metz and the surrounding areas were given a choice of surrendering to Alsatian regionalism or Lorrain regionalism. They responded by trying accommodation with Nancy, splitting regional institutions, merging their universities, etc. This has been an uneasy relationship, sometimes leading to intense disputes whenever France wants to build a highway or airport. And Metz has not escaped the influence of Alsace. Metz is at the confluence of two different regionalism, both of which developed because of historical peculiarities.

I have a pile of cookery books and I always have to search through them to find the recipe I want, so I have decided to get organised and make myself some little bookmarks. They are scraps of left over handmade backgrounds, folded in half and held in place in the book with a pair of little magnets that go either side of the page. The image is just stamped and coloured and stuck on the front.
These were extremely quick and fast to do and to be honest quite nice a relaxing after the high maintenance stuff I have been doing the last couple of weeks. But they look quite sweet in their simplicity.
I used the Alice Palace stamps from Crafty Individuals for these particular ones. I am now off to rifle through my stamps to look for other suitable images.

MTA said repairs will also be made on the Seventh Avenue 1, 2, 3 and Eighth Avenue A, C and E lines. Both stations will be open and service will be unaffected throughout the planned work, MTA said.
"Penn Station is a critical hub in the regional transit network, and the two subway stations within this complex are two of the busiest in our entire subway system," said NYCT President Andy Byford. "We simply cannot afford to have a major connection point like this fall into disrepair. This hub especially needs to be state-of-the-art, clean and easy to navigate – and it will be, once this important work is complete."
The contract for the projects was awarded in February 2018, and crews are set to perform significant repairs at the stations. Work will also include leak mitigation and repairs to the structural steel and concrete infrastructure such as station entrances, walls and ceilings.
Other enhancements include revamped electrical systems like cables, conduits, lighting boards, new flooring in mezzanine areas, new stair treads and illuminated handrails.
Two mezzanines will be bolstered with glass barriers, security cameras, LED lighting for increased light and energy efficiency, digital screens, and improved signage including digital, real-time service change and train information.
Three A, C and E Line entrances will receive new stairs, railings, lighting and electronic signage, MTA said.
Small areas may be closed temporarily as crews work on various sections, but some repairs will be performed overnight to reduce disruptions to customers. The affected station entrances for 34 St-Penn Station ace will be closed one at a time to enable consistent service.
MTA staff has conducted extensive outreach to local community boards, businesses, elected officials and other nearby stakeholders recently detailing the work, and signage at the affected stations and terminal areas will be posted ahead of the scheduled start to alert customers of the work, which is scheduled for less than eight months.

The DAF 600 is a small family car that was DAF's first production passenger car: it was first presented at the Amsterdam Motor Show in February 1958 and was in production by 1959, although the firm had published the first details of the car at the end of 1957. It was available until 1963.
The 600 was the first production car after the 1920s Clyno to have a continuously variable transmission (CVT) system - the innovative DAF Variomatic. The DAF Variomatic employs engine speed, via centrifugal weights, to shift the transmission and is enhanced by an engine manifold vacuum. It was the only car ever produced which went faster by the simple expedient of gently and gradually releasing the accelerator once top speed had been reached. This increased manifold vacuum which helped the variable pulleys shift to an even higher ratio so even though the engine RPM stays the same, the transmission increases the car's speed, in the case of the DAF 600, from 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) to nearly 70 mph (110 km/h) given enough time and level road.
The Variomatic also permitted increased engine braking by operating a switch on the dashboard which reversed the action of the vacuum on the pulley's diaphragm, seeking a lower ratio with increased manifold vacuum.

GCC Champions League: Al Nasr 2 Al Nahda 1
Al Nasr booked their place in the GCC Champions League final with a 3-2 aggregate victory over Al Nahda on Wednesday.
The United Arab Emirates outfit came into the second leg with the upper hand having held their opponents to a 1-1 draw in the opening encounter.
And it did not take long for the hosts to go one up - Leo Lima tapping home in the sixth minute after initially seeing his penalty saved.
Ibrahima Toure then curled the ball around the visiting goalkeeper 20 minutes later to put Al Nasr firmly in control.
Jamal Rashid appeared to give Al Nahda a fighting chance of progression when he pulled one back just after the half-hour mark, but it proved to be the final goal of the match as the home side qualified for their first final in this competition.
Al Nasr will now meet fellow final debutants Saham of Oman in the decider.

Why: Coz it is sooooo delicious and has loads more flavour than store bought garlic! It is very easy to grow and oddly enough most pests and diseases don't share my love of it.
Types/Varieties: There are all sorts of varieties of garlic. For a variety that suits your climate check out www.garlic.com.au OR www.diggers.com.au you can even order online at Diggers and they'll post them to you. Love love!
You MUST use garlic bought from a nursery or organic store – regular supermarket garlic won't grow in your garden!
When: Now is the time to plant garlic in southern areas of Australia, you can plant from late autumn through to early spring. If you live in warmer areas, eg. Northern NSW, then plant in March or April.
Garlic loves:
– Full sun
– Good drainage is REALLY important, grow in raised beds or pots without the self watering bit.
– Add some dolomite lime to the soil pre-planting, garlic likes a slightly alkaline soil, so pH around 7.5-8.0.
– Regular watering required, but not loads of water. Keep the bed or potting mix moist but not dripping.
Garlic hates:
– Don't mulch until after the green garlic shoots are well up out of the ground.
– Don't over feed – you'll cause too much green growth at the expense of the bulbs. 2 or 3 light applications throughout the growing season of a pelletised, composted chicken manure are more than enough.
– Make sure good drain is maintained. Check the soil isn't slushy and water logged. If in pots make sure the water can drain freely and easily out the bottom.
How to Plant:
1. Break the cloves of garlic from the garlic bulb.
2. Add dolomite lime, as garlic likes a slightly alkaline soil.
3. Add a little composted chicken manure.
4. With a fork turn over the soil, so that it is soft and friable.
5. Plant each clove 10cm apart from each other, in rows that are 40 cm apart.
6, 7 & 8. Poke a hole with your index finger and push the clove in, so its about 8-10cm below the surface, pointy end up.
9. Smooth over the area to fully cover the planted cloves.
10. Water in immediately after planting to help initiate growth.
Within 2 weeks you should start to see the first few shoots bursting out of the ground! Keep up the water to your garlic as it grows, but make sure the soil is not water logged. Keep the weeds down and mulch with pea straw or sugar cane mulch once spring arrives.
Keep your eyes on bean there dug that in summer when I show you how to correctly harvest your garlic and prepare it for storage.
Including how to create garlic braids.

Four years of sexual servitude had shattered Srey Mom's spirit and left her with no real family, other than the brothel owner she called ''Mother.''
After I had purchased the freedom of Srey Mom and Srey Neth, the two teenage prostitutes whose story I've told in my last three columns, we took Srey Neth back to her family. Then we had to drive clear across the country to return Srey Mom to her native village. During that long drive, she repeatedly vowed that she would never return to the brothels -- but she said it so insistently that the possibility clearly preyed on her mind.
''I'm going to go to the pagoda to pray that I never go back,'' she said, for she had seen other girls rescued from the brothels who ended up ostracized by outsiders and slinking back again.
Srey Mom worried constantly during the drive whether her mother would ever accept her again since a stormy relationship with her mother had led her to run away from home at the age of 14. A woman at a bus station had befriended Srey Mom and handed her over to a brothel. The brothel's owner rubbed her with pineapple juice, which supposedly lightens the skin, and sold her virginity to a businessman.
Completely illiterate, Srey Mom ended up shuffled from brothel to brothel, continually cheated and mired in debts that left her unable to leave. Over four years of prostitution, her price for sex gradually dropped from $27 to less than $3.Continue reading the main story
As we approached the village, Srey Mom grew excited -- and anxious about whether her mother would accept her or beat her. Perhaps children worldwide cannot comprehend how much their families love them, for the scene when we pulled up at Srey Mom's house was the most joyous I've ever witnessed. Srey Mom bounded out of the car and into the arms of an aunt. Both convulsed in happy sobs and shrieks, and other villagers came running over.
''We thought she was dead,'' the aunt said through a shower of tears. Then the grandmother trundled up, wailing with joy. Later, she said, ''I've been crying for her every single night, I missed her so much.''
Srey Mom's mother and father rushed over in disbelief, and Srey Mom fell to her knees and begged their forgiveness -- which they happily gave. The family, having given up hope that the girl was still alive, had planned a Buddhist funeral ceremony for her in 20 days' time -- and now it would be turned into a celebration of her return.
When the tears had slowed, we discussed options for Srey Mom to earn a living. In the end I left the family with $100 for Srey Mom to start a small business selling pork in the market. Since the villagers thought she had worked in a restaurant and didn't know her past, they embraced her return. An experienced aid group would monitor and help her. As we pulled away from the village, I was as happy as I've ever been as a reporter. (To learn more about trafficking by following these two girls in their journey, visit the interactive special report at www.nytimes.com/kristof.)
I wish I could have ended the column there. But a few days later, Srey Mom quarreled with her mother and fled to her old brothel in Poipet.
My interpreter found her there. She still says she wants to leave prostitution, but she also refused the interpreter's offer to take her to a women's shelter or anywhere else. Bernard Krisher, the chairman of American Assistance for Cambodia (www.cambodiaschools.com), a first-rate group that helps Cambodian children, is going to Poipet to meet Srey Mom and offer her a chance to learn modeling or hairdressing, live with a family and begin again. I'm still hoping for a fairy-tale ending.
But there are few fairy-tale endings in sexual trafficking. (I hope the other teenager, Srey Neth, will have one, for she has now built a tin-roofed shack and stocked it as a grocery, and is proudly earning a living for herself.) Typically, trafficking not only destroys its victims' bodies with AIDS but maims their spirits as well, leaving them feeling so worthless that they can't easily return to normal life.
Multiply the dreams and fears of these two teenagers by the global scale of trafficking, 700,000 people per year, and you see why the U.S. and foreign governments have to get serious about stopping this modern form of slavery.Continue reading the main story

Load cells and accessories
The ASL is a digital compression load cell based on single column technology particularly suitable for weighing applications on weighbridges.
It is made of stainless steel and is compact, and sealed under prolonged immersion (IP 68).
The measurement principle on which the ASL load cell is based is the deformation of beams subjected to a compression force.
It uses strain gauges arranged to form a Wheatstone bridge for conversion of a force into an electrical signal. The ASL load cell is specially designed to be insensitive to eccentric loads, while remaining low-dimensioned.

Star Craft Maps
Below is a list of downloadable Star Craft maps. The newest is listed first.
- You and your friends fight, sneak, and think your way to the heart of the zerg-infested science vessel Amerigo 3! Teamwork and cooperation will carry the day here. I learned a lot from feedback regarding the earlier Amerigo scenario (below). This new scenario is the result, and my play testers have been very pleased with it. The goals and situation are presented clearly, and the whole map has a faster-moving and less intimidating feel. If you lose your hero unit, don't worry! You can pick a new one and keep going...as long as you don't die in the final battle, that is! The lowest difficulty can be defeated by one player (barely!), but this map is best played with friends. This map requires the Brood War expansion. This map was updated on 11/21/2002. 1,378k of sound-enhanced joy.
(6)Amerigo 2 v2-1.scm
- Remember that tight Battle For The Amerigo cut scene in the Star Craft Zerg campaign? This was inspired by that. Play alone or with friends as the Terran demolition team, trying to nuke the Amerigo 2 before the Zerg close in. This one's loaded with sounds and sneakyness. It also allows one to pick from 3 difficulty levels. The easiest can be beaten with one player (barely). This map was updated on 12/8/2001. 1,536k
(8)Slave Swarm.scm
- Just a minor tweak. It's like an all-zerg melee on Garden of Aiur, but each player starts with a science vessel. The vessel, your overlords, and your drones do exactly what you tell them, but everything else swarms around your vessel in a big, blood-hungry, snarling mass. This map is all about macromanagement. 142k
(8)The Dig.scm
- An actual melee map for a change! 64x64. Almost every square is minerals. Each mineral patch disappears after one harvesting. The vespine geysers are depleted. This turns Star Craft's economy on its ear, without tweaking any units. 36k
(4)From All Sides.scm
- This expands on micromanagement. Gorilla squads, promotion of veteran troops, a Star Craft version of the medic...this is a tough one, even for 3 players, but it can be done with 2. Are you up to the challenge? 1-4 players cooperative Use Map Settings. 126k
- How much can you do with a hand full of units? 1-5 players cooperative Use Map Settings. 109k
- How much can you do with a hand full of units? Harder than Micromanagement. 1-5 players cooperative Use Map Settings. 110k
- How much can you do with a hand full of units? Harder than Miromanagement2. 1-5 players cooperative Use Map Settings. 110k
- Advance through the Terran ranks as you perform missions against alien forces. 1-5 players cooperative Use Map Settings. 188k
- Can you survive the zerg onslaught for 30 minutes? 1-4 players cooperative Use Map Settings. 39k

The DOM spec (both level 1 and the level 2 candidate) specifies that the Node interface has a "nodeName" attribute; the spec has a table showing the value of the "nodeName" attribute (and other attributes) for each node type. The table row for the Document node type looks like this: Document #document null null Now, just what does "#document" mean? Does it mean a string consisting of the # character followed by the word "document"? Or is the # some sort of notation indicating a literal string, so that the string itself contains only the word "document"? This is really pretty unclear. I searched the spec for an explanation of the "#" character, but couldn't find one. -adamReceived on Wednesday, 22 March 2000 20:01:13 UTC
