Oracle has rolled out the next iteration of its core database product line. Oracle Database 11g, the company proudly claims, is the result of 15 million test hours and 36,000 person-months of development.
"Oracle Database 11g, built on 30 years of design experience, delivers the next generation of enterprise information management," said Andy Mendelsohn, senior vice president of database server technologies for Oracle.
Hundreds of New Features
The new database — the company's first in four years — is been packed with 400-plus new features. Users and consultants are highlighting their favorites as reasons to adopt 11g.
Particularly anticipated is 11g's improved integration of Oracle Audit Vault and Oracle Database Vault, said Ari Kaplan, president of the Independent Oracle Users Group. The feature puts confidential information in a locked vault, where only someone like the COO, CFO or an external audit company can view and modify the records.
No one else has that feature on the market, he claims.
Of the 480 features introduced in Oracle 11g, two in particular — artificial intelligence for self-management and improved real application clusters — appeal to clients, Donald Burleson, founder of Burleson Consulting and author of several books on Oracle, told CRM Buyer.
"Oracle is leading the pack in intelligent self-management for databases — it is beating the daylights out of DB2 and SQL Server because it has incorporated artificial intelligence to take feedback from Oracle and adjust a configuration according to changes in the database load," he maintained.
Another example is the automation of SQL tuning in 11g, Burleson said. Oracle automated the memory and storage management functions in 10g.
These tools also could cut additional inroads into the small and medium-sized business (SMB) market. "A mom-and-pop grocery store can now install 11g without a high degree of technical knowledge," he pointed out.
Upgrades in the real application clusters also make database management easier for firms with fewer resources. No other database management system in the world offers rolling upgrades, said Burleson. "These allow you to upgrade the software while it is still running — it is an amazing feature."
Making the Jump
It remains to be seen, though, how fast companies will upgrade to 11g.
"There are two measures of success to any enterprise class software or hardware offering," said Charles King, founder of Pund-IT Research. "How well does it meet the essential needs of its base customers? And how quickly can the company migrate its base to the product?"
The first doesn't necessarily guarantee the second, he said. "All of the bells and whistles Oracle promised in 11g are there — it was delivered on time. As a product, it is a good one."
However, moving to a new core database is never an inconsequential task and, in fact, is getting more difficult as databases grow larger and more complex.
"From what I have heard and read, I think a lot of the customers will appreciate 11g," King said, "but they won't be rushing to deploy it until it is time for an upgrade."
At a Glance
Other new features in Oracle 11g:
- Oracle Real Application Testing allows customers to test and manage changes to their IT environment.
- Oracle Data Guard enables customers to use their standby database to improve performance in their production environments, as well as provide protection from system failures and site-wide disasters. Oracle Data Guard enables simultaneous read and recovery of a single standby database, making it available for reporting, backup, testing and "rolling" upgrades to production databases, the company explains.
- New data partitioning and compression automation capabilities extend existing range, hash and list partitioning to include interval, reference and virtual column partitioning. There is also a set of composite partitioning options.
- Advanced data compression is available for both structured and unstructured large object (LOB) data managed in transaction processing, data warehousing, and content management environments.
- Oracle Total Recall enables administrators to query data in designated tables "as of" earlier times.
- Oracle Flashback Transaction makes it easy to back out a transaction made in error, as well as any dependent transactions.
- Parallel Backup and Restore helps improve the backup and restore performance of very large databases.
- "Hot patching" improves system availability by allowing database patches to be applied without the need to shut databases down.
- Data Recovery Advisor helps administrators significantly reduce recovery downtime by automating problem investigation, intelligently determining a recovery plan, and handling multiple failure situations.

Earth Discharge Rod
|7 / 15
Product Description
Earth nests can be supplied with a split connector clamp to accept the termination of the down lead. Alternatively, a lightweight aluminum S9A Earth end clamp fitted with an insulated handle can be supplied.
Each earth rod has a high tensile strength, low carbon steel core. 99.95% pure copper is applied electrolytically and forms a metallurgical bond between the steel core and the copper.
This combination makes the rod ideal for deep driving whilst also providing lasting resistance to corrosion.
Earth rods can be clustered using an earth nest. They can also be extended by using thread couplings. This facilitates deep driving and ensures continual contact between the rods both during and after installation. The coupling also protects the earth rod threads during installation with the driving head.
Product Benefits
** Lasting resistance to corrosion
** High tensile strength
** Available in standard lengths 850mm
** Other lengths available: 1,000mm and 1,200mm
Further technical details
** Standard earth rods are manufactured from either 16mm (5/8") or 19mm (3/4") diameter steel cored copper bonded rods and are usually supplied in 850mm sections. Other lengths are also available.

Two Dutch-Turks arrested in Greece for plot to kill Erdogan
Two Dutch-Turks are currently in custody in Greece on suspicion of involvement in a plan to kill Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan. They form part of a group that planned an attack on the Turkish president using rockets and Molotov cocktails, the Telegraaf reports.
Anil S. (25) from Amsterdam and Burak A. (23) from Eindhoven were arrested during an anti-terrorism action in Greece on November 28th. According to the newspaper, S. is on the national terrorism list, and both Dutch-Turks are affiliated with left-wing extremist group DHKP-C.
In a statement, the group confirmed on Tuesday that nine of its members, including the two Dutch, were arrested based on "false accusations by AKP fascists of murder on Erdogan".
According to the newspaper, the group planned to attack the Turkish president during a state visit to Greece on December 7th and 8th. The plan was that Erdogan's convoy would be bombarded with rocket-fired grenades, homemade hand-grenades and incendiary bombs from two sides. A third group would strike from behind.
The Greek police are currently searching for the weapons, which are believed to be buried in the vicinity of Athens.
Anil S. was arrested in Turkey in 2015 for participating in a banned demonstration.

The Saving Lives in Sierra Leone (SLiSL) programme, funded by the UK Department for International Development, seeks to save women's and children's lives by improving the quality, availability and accessibility of reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health services. Montrose has been contracted as the independent Monitoring, Evidence, Learning and Review provider of the programme.
Tropical Health was commissioned to provide Quality Assurance services for complex data analysis for M&E and operational research as well as quality assurance for operational research proposal development and research methods.
During the quality assurance process, Tropical Health conducted a review of the programme M&E framework, overarching logframe, nested logframes, and proposed theory of change. A technical review was carried out on samples of health data analysis reports as well as several operational research protocols and reports, e.g. on adolescent health and disability. More recently, Tropical Health was requested to quality assure a major synthesis exercise to provide the evidence to support a costed extension for SLiSL, with a sharper focus on preventing maternal, neonatal and child deaths and adolescent pregnancy in the context of COVID-19 recovery phase.
Tropical Health conducted its quality assurance with a view to ensuring the best possible M&E data analysis and operational research proposal process, keeping in mind the goal of the five-year programme, which is to achieve a sustainable change in health outcomes for under-fives, adolescents, pregnant women and mothers.

Latex allergy
From wipipedia.org
The proteins in rubber can cause an allergic reaction in some people. This reaction can range from sneezing to anaphylactic shock, which is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.
The thin, stretchy latex rubber in gloves, condoms and balloons is high in this protein. It causes more allergic reactions than products made of hard latex rubber (like tyres). Also, because some latex gloves are coated with corn starch powder, the latex protein particles stick to the corn starch and fly into the air when the gloves are taken off. In places where gloves are being put on and removed frequently, the air may contain many latex particles.

New York's plastic bag ban starts Sunday. Here's everything you need to know.
New York's plastic bag ban takes effect on Sunday, and stores across the borough are frantically preparing, educating customers on the new protocol, buying paper bags in bulk and even creating incentive programs to encourage shoppers to bring their own containers.
Starting March 1, all New Yorkers will have to bring their own reusable bags to the grocery store or pay five cents for a paper one. (The fee will not apply to SNAP or WIC customers.)
The legislation, signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Earth Day of last year, will not only cut down on litter across the state, but will also protect wildlife from ingesting plastic and reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with plastic bag production and disposal.
Garment bags, trash bags and bags used to wrap foods like fruits and sliced meats are exempt from the ban.
Related: The ban on plastic bags is coming. Does it go far enough?
In preparation for the ban, Union Market has created an informational campaign dubbed BYOBag to educate customers on the new law. Store management has also instructed all cashiers to speak to customers, and there are signs up all around the store. In addition, the chain will be giving a 10-cent discount to every customer that brings his or her own bag.
"It's self-explanatory. It's the right thing for the environment, and we really care," said Carlos Alfara, director of produce for all Union Market stores. "Our clientele also appreciate the fact that we care about the environment. Yes, it's going to be a little bit of transition for many stores — being a shortage of bags or whatever it may be — but we wanted to be proactive on it."
For smaller mom-and-pop stores, however, the new ban has increased costs.
"The price difference is almost triple — paper bags are more expensive," said Joe Kim, owner of Sunny Delicatessen in Brooklyn Heights.
"In the beginning it will be inconvenient for the customers, but I guess it's something that you get used to, and then they will start bringing their own bag. I'm trying to get rid of what I have now."
He said he would keep boxes on hand that he normally throws out just in case people need to carry groceries in them.
One of the owners of Deli & Grocery Fresh Fruit and Vegetables on Henry Street, who did not give her name, said, "We're all ready. We bought plenty of paper bags."
New York joins Hawaii and California as one of only three states in the country to enact statewide bans on plastic bags.
New Yorkers use more than 23 billion single-use plastic bags per year, and the average life cycle of a plastic bag is only 15 minutes, according to Riverkeeper, a water advocacy nonprofit.
Jeremy Cherson, legislative advocacy manager of the group, said that while the ban is a good first step, it's not enough. He said the restaurant industry in New York City is massive and that delivery and food ordering services like Grub Hub and Uber Eats use a copious number of bags.
The organization leads an annual cleanup of more than 100 sites along the Hudson River and continually finds that plastic bags are the most-picked-up items.
Cherson warned that residents shouldn't become equally reliant on paper bags — which come with their own set of environmental burdens.
He said that, because paper bags are heavier than plastic ones, they require more fossil fuels for transport, and they also take up more space in landfills, adding to an ongoing recycling crisis.
Some groups, like Bag the Ban, have criticized the new law, saying consumers will instead buy containers that require even more fossil fuels to create and that it could lead to paper bag shortages.
"They're cheap, convenient, waterproof, strong enough to hold groceries but thin and light enough to make and transport using scant energy, water or other resources," John Tierney wrote of plastic bags in The Wall Street Journal.
"Though they're called single-use, most people reuse them, typically as trashcan liners. When governments ban them, consumers buy thicker substitutes with a bigger carbon footprint."
There is also fear that the Coronavirus epidemic could affect New York's supply of re-usable bags, since China is the largest exporter, according to the Staten Island Advance.
Still, the city, elected officials and stores across the borough are preparing for the new changes to take effect.
The Department of Sanitation will be joined by Assemblymember Robert Carroll in handing out reusable bags outside 1077 Coney Island Ave. on Friday, as well as outside the Windsor Farms Market in Windsor Terrace and the C Town supermarket in Park Slope on Saturday.

What you really need to know about this ban is that is a scam.
WHY should customers be nickel & dimed to death with an extra charge for paper bags?
Crummy bags , mist of which don't even have a handle/
This is an outright gift for store owners, who no longer provide free bags for their merchandise.
And it's a real inconvenience, and a regressive tax on all retail shoppers.
The poorest among us will be exempt, but so should all the rest of us who can't afford to have everything delivered to their door.
I wonder if these out-of-touch legislators ever actually go shopping? Do they think that shoppers have developed pouches, likes kangaroos, to carry items around all day long?
Just as stores currently provide free plastic bags, they should now ALSO provide free paper bags (which are entirely recyclable, unlike plastic bags).
If the new law says they must charge a nickel for each paper bag, then they should give customers a CREDIT for each paper bag used. I believe Whole Foods does that now.
We need to demand that other retailers do the same, until the nickel charge for paper bags is repealed (hint- call and email your state legislators).
If stores do not provide free paper bags they will lose business, especially spur-of-the-moment purchases, such as at lunch or coming and going from work, which in today's online economy they cannot afford to lose.
IWhere there's a will there's a way, and obviously the state legislature would rather tax & inconvenience us instead of coming up with a better way.
This will make more people to shop on Amazon….and the are accepting EBT cards also…

Nat'l Assembly Should Decide on Public Emergency
Precisely what is the intent of Section eighteen of the Constitution, cited by Prime Minister Dean Barrow as the basis for the latest measures against crime? It provides for the handling of states of emergency, defined as any time in which Belize is at war, or any proclamation by the Governor General or the National Assembly. The latter would need a two-third majority of representatives to agree after debate and any resulting proclamation would last as long as sixty days, renewable, rather than thirty as prescribed to the Governor General. P.U.P. Leader John Briceño registered his concerns about the proposed proclamation.

"If the Prime Minister wants to use the Constitution to address crime in Belize, he did not have to go to the Queen's representative, to the Governor General. Because under Section eighteen, Subsection three (b), the Prime Minister could have come to the House to have a full debate on the crisis that we are facing in Belize and in particular in Southside Belize City, to be able to then call for a state of emergency in certain areas of the City. We don't believe that we are at war, and we believe that the best avenue would have been for the Prime Minister to go to the House, to have a full debate to call that state of emergency. But if we are looking at challenging it, at this time I couldn't answer you."

Google has confirmed it plans to launch an e-book store before the end of the year, challenging the likes of Amazon's Kindle store. The Google project was originally planned to launch this summer but was held up by technical and legal problems.
The main selling point of the store, to be known as Google Editions, is that the books won't necessarily be downloaded to a device, but will instead be accessed through a Google account. That means that once the book is purchased, it will be accessible from any internet-connected device. It's not yet known if this will simply be in the form of specially formatted web pages, or if it will be possible to use custom-designed applications.
The system may mean Google has to put security measures in place, such as monitoring access to an account. In theory, it doesn't sound as if there'd be anything to stop somebody setting up an account, buying a book, and then giving the account details to friends so that they can read it without paying (albeit, likely only one person at a time.)
It appears Google will negotiate royalty arrangements on a publisher-by-publisher basis, though the Google share of the sale price will always be less than 50%.
Third-party websites will be able to join one of two affiliate programs: one that links readers to the Google Editions site, and one where the third-party website sells the electronic book directly.
A Google spokesman told the Wall Street Journal that most books currently available in other e-book stores will be on Google Editions at or soon after its launch, and that prices will be similar to those of major rivals.
The project is different to Google Books, which is where Google itself scans books, makes them searchable, and (where publishers have agreed) sells electronic copies of titles still in copyright. That's led to widespread legal challenges after publishers objected to copyrighted titles being scanned without permission.
Those challenges continued after author and publisher groups reached a settlement with Google that claims to give the company rights over orphan titles — those which are still in copyright but where the original rights-holders can't be traced. Whether there's any legal authority for Google to be "given" such rights is hotly disputed.

When Dianne Wagner, a fourth-year medical student from Chicago, arrived at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine in 1980 for a few months of elective rotations, she intended her stay would be temporary.
On the geological time scale, it was.
"I moved to Michigan temporarily in 1980, I always say, and stayed 42 years," said Wagner, MD, who retired June 1 after holding several College of Human Medicine faculty and administrative positions, the last as associate dean for undergraduate education. "I would have been crazy to leave. The college has been a gift to me."
After graduating from the University of Illinois Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine, Wagner stayed in Michigan for her internal medicine residency. In 1984, Ruth Hoppe, MD, then chief of the college's division of general internal medicine, offered Wagner a part-time position consisting of seeing patients, attending in a residency primary care clinic, and taking on the internal medicine clerkship directorship.
"It was a wonderful introduction to academic medicine, and it enabled me to have the balance I was looking for," Wagner said, particularly as she was starting a family.
She left the college in 1993 to join the local health maintenance organization and, later, a Sparrow Hospital primary care medical practice, but she returned to the college in 2000 as associate director of clinical skills and problem-based learning. In 2004, she became associate dean for graduate medical education and in 2008, associate dean for collegewide assessment.
In a prelude to the latter position, she approached Marsha Rappley, MD, who was then the college's dean, suggesting a move to emphasizing educational outcomes, judging students on the skills they could demonstrate, rather than on the hours of they had spent in their learning activities. It was a prescient move, as the knowledge gained would later help inform the college's complete curricular transformation, which took place under the leadership of then-senior associate dean for academic affairs Aron Sousa, MD.
In 2015, Wagner became associate dean for undergraduate medical education and was given the opportunity to head the team implementing the new Shared Discovery Curriculum, a data-driven approach emphasizing clinical experience and patient care.
"That was an incredibly exciting opportunity I was given, another in a long line of gifts from the college," she said.
She was eligible to retire in 2016, but "there was too much excitement and too much to do," Wagner said.
She and the team – "the most brilliant, hardest working group of medical educators on the planet" – were nearly finished phasing in the new curriculum, and then came the unexpected. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted everything, requiring the college to "lean hard into competency-based education" to fulfill its goals.
"Medical education was turned on its head," Wagner said. "It took until early morning until late at night to figure out how we were going to deliver a quality medical education."
Despite the challenges, "we were guided by our Shared Discovery Curriculum principles during the pandemic, and they saw us through."
Wagner again had time to consider retirement. "It felt like the cosmos speaking," she said. "The team was totally capable of carrying on. It just felt like it was right."
Wagner also served as interim senior associate dean for academic affairs from November 2019 until March 2022 and retired as associate dean for undergraduate medical education on June 1.
One month into retirement, she is thinking of re-entering education at a different level, perhaps tutoring middle school students, and she would like to volunteer for an environmental organization.
"It's open ended right now, which is completely different than how most of my life has been," she said. "The college has given me so many gifts of opportunity and of incomparable colleagues, I feel incredibly lucky.
"For now I'm going to have the privilege of spending time with family, a truly precious gift, which I am going to savor!"

If you believe BNE Energy's industrial wind turbine project in Colebrook will create jobs, read Joel Rinebold's testimony before the Connecticut Siting Council. Who is Joel Rinebold? He was hired by BNE to prepare an Economic Energy Analysis for their projects in Colebrook and Prospect. Interestingly, Mr. Rinebold is a former executive director of the Connecticut Siting Council. It seems that the more one digs into these projects the muddier the waters become.
A short synopsis of Mr. Rinebold's analysis: There will be one part-time job created once the turbines become operational. One, part-time job. And, if things go as expected and households spend more locally, we might see part-time employment opportunities in Connecticut's service sector.
How can Mr. Rinebold and BNE call this job creation? Apparently, you have to look at the overall picture… here come the smoke and mirrors. Mr. Rinebold's Economic Energy Analysis references jobs created within the renewable energy industry as a whole, not specifically here in Connecticut. According to the analysis, nine construction jobs will be created, 16 jobs will be created within the equipment manufacturing industry, and seven indirect/induced jobs are projected as an effect of changes in household spending that may result from the direct or indirect spending of the project.
So overall, according to Mr. RInebold's projections, thirty-two total jobs could be created, of which nine will be in Connecticut in the construction phase, with the possibility of an additional seven if households change their spending as predicted. However, after the turbines are constructed and become operational, Connecticut can count on one part-time job and perhaps some part-time work in Connecticut's local service sector associated with the estimated additional local spending.
What a boon to Connecticut's struggling economy! We can look forward to one part-time job and keep our fingers crossed household spending increases to encourage perhaps seven more! Gee, thanks BNE! You will have spent millions of our taxpayer dollars to fund your project, which will make you millions, and we can count on half a job and hope for seven more!
Oh wait; we can't dismiss the clean renewable energy that will be created…when the wind blows…because the wind industry has no technology for storing energy for use when there is no wind.
No wind? Look to the Phoenix Press in New Haven and ask how their wind turbine worked out last summer when Connecticut had strings of windless days. The Phoenix Press acknowledged their turbine didn't perform as expected but they discovered it makes a great marketing tool as a company going green.
Connecticut, we need to let Governor Malloy, Commissioner Daniel Esty (DEEP), and our legislators know we do not want to host the next marketing tools for the wind industry: Wind Prospect, Wind Colebrook South, and Wind Colebrook North. Nor do we want well-connected lawyers with no experience in the wind industry to waste an exorbitant amount of taxpayer dollars on projects that will not have a significant benefit on Connecticut's economy.

Several persons, grievously injured with bullets were shifted to Srinagar's SMHS and SKIMS, after protests erupted during an encounter that raged in Dialgam area of South Kashmir's Anantnag district, for specialized treatment, where all are said to be stable.
Scenes in and around emergency operation theatre at SKIMS and SMHS were emotional, with relatives of injured praying for the recovery and wellbeing of their dear ones.
Yasir Ahmad (22), a resident of Dailgam, Anantnag was also injured in his left leg when bullet hit him when he was running for a safe place when protests rocked his area during the encounter that was then going on.
As per doctors, who were attending Yasir said that his main artery, supplying blood to his leg has been severely damaged, "his artery has been severely damaged due to the bullet, we are still operating him, let's see, what happens," said a doctor at SKIMS.
Yasir's father, Fayaz Ahmad, was visibly, yet to recover from the shock that his son has been hit, and was not in a position to speak about the incident. Sitting on a chair supporting his face with his hand, and tears rolling down his face, when this reporter tried to talk to him, he said "I don't know what to talk about it, I can't talk right now," asking this reporter to go away politely.
Doctors present in the emergency operation theatre said that they received two fresh fire arm injuries, both hit in their legs, "we received two patients, and we are operating on them. In addition to this, one more was brought here, but he was brought dead."
Shadab Ahmad Chopan of Dailgam was brought dead to SKIMS and was hit in his neck, "he has serious injuries due to fire arm and was brought dead to the hospital," said a doctor on duty. Moreover, a lady, identified as Tahira was also killed when a bullet pierced through his back, killing her instantly, during the day.
Junaid Ahmad Tantray (17) from Dialgam was shifted to SMHS on Saturday afternoon, when a bullet hit him in his shoulder, "he is being operated and is said to be stable," said one of Junaid's relative.
"He was not part of any protests that were on in our area, I really don't know what prompted them (forces) to shoot Junaid," he said.
In total, at around 6 patients with bullet injuries were brought to different Srinagar hospitals, with eye witnesses saying that the bullets that were fired were uncalled for and could have been avoided, "if they could have fired tear smoke shells, the protestors would have dispersed, there really was not any need to fire bullets," said Abdul Qayoom, a resident of Dailgam.
What is more interesting is that the hospitals did not receive any pellet injury or any injured caused by tear shells, the injuries that were usually received, what happened today was contrary to the norm and what was received, were the fire arm injuries and a single case of where a passerby was ruthlessly beaten by the forces. The youth was admitted in SKIMS.
A gunfight between militants and forces broke out in Dialgam area of Anantnag district early on Saturday morning, where two militants- Bashir Lashkari alias Abu Ukasha and another militant believed to a foreigner were trapped. The encounter ended with the killing of both the militants, when government forces razed the residential house they were trapped in, to the ground.
Lashkari, as per Police sources said, was involved in the killing of six police personnel, including SHO Feroz Dar in an ambush in Achabal area of the district.


text: The ability to efficiently sample structurally diverse protein conformations allows one to gain a high-level view of a protein's energy landscape. Algorithms from robot motion planning have been used for conformational sampling and promote diversity by keeping track of ``coverage" in conformational space based on the local sampling density. However, large proteins present special challenges. In particular, larger systems require running many concurrent instances of these algorithms, but these algorithms can quickly become memory intensive because they typically keep previously sampled conformations in memory to maintain coverage estimates. Additionally, many of these algorithms depend on defining useful perturbation strategies for exploring the conformational space, which is a very difficult task for large proteins because such systems are typically more constrained and exhibit complex motions. In this paper, we introduce two methodologies for maintaining and enhancing diversity in robotics-inspired conformational sampling. The first method leverages the use of a low-dimensional projection to define a global coverage grid that maintains coverage across concurrent runs of sampling. The second method is an automatic definition of a perturbation strategy through readily available flexibility information derived from B-factors, secondary structure, and rigidity analysis. Our results show a significant increase in the diversity of the conformations sampled for proteins consisting of up to 500 residues. The methodologies presented in this paper may be vital components for the scalability of robotics-inspired approaches.

The EPO has announced that it is changing the EPO divisional application deadline rules to eliminate the current 24-month deadline for filing divisional applications, and permit the filing of a divisional application as long as the parent application still is pending. The change will apply to divisional applications filed on or after April 1, 2014.
The EPO Announcement
The EPO announcement was published on October 18, 2013, and simply states:
The Administrative Council has adopted in its meeting of October an amendment of the provisions of the European Patent Convention dealing with the requirements for the filing of divisional applications, namely Rules 36, 38, and 135.
The decision enters into force on 1. April 2014 and will apply to divisional applications filed on or after that date. It enables the filing of divisional applications as long as the earlier (parent) application is pending. The 24-month time limits for the filing of divisional applications are repealed.
In addition, there will be an additional fee as part of the filing fee for divisional applications of second or subsequent generation. This means that the filing of divisional applications in respect of earlier divisional applications will be subject to an additional fee. The amounts of this fee grow progressively with each subsequent generation of divisional applications up to a certain level, becoming then a flat fee.
Reopening The Window
Because the rule change applies to divisional applications filed on or after April 1, 2014, it appears that it will permit applicants to file a divisional application where the current 24-month period for doing so already has passed, as long as the parent application still is pending in April. Applicants who would like to take advantage of this change with a parent application that is close to allowance (or other termination of proceedings) may want to consider extending response deadlines and/or taking advantage of the EPO's "further processing" provisions to prolong the pendency of the parent application through April 1.
Applicants interested in learning how this change impacts their European patent applications should seek the advice of European patent counsel.
A Welcome Change
This change likely will be welcomed by most applicants, who usually prefer to wait to file a divisional application until they know what subject matter will be allowed in the original application. In addition to spreading out patent costs, that timing often permits applicants to leverage strategies that were successful in the original application when prosecuting the divisional application. Further, this change will eliminate the need to file a "back up" divisional application when it is still possible that the original application will be allowed. The increasing fee structure is an interesting twist, but not unlike the USPTO fee structure that imposes escalating fees for subsequent Requests for Continued Examination (RCEs).

There are a lot of amazing off-the-beaten-track places in Italy and Misurina lake is one of them. This natural gem is located high in the Dolomites, but easily accessible by car.
You might want to consider going to Misurina if:
- You're adventure addict, outdoor enthusiast, travel aficionado, and/or mountain lover.
- You adore Dolomites.
- You want to hike via ferrata trails.
- You prefer cities, but appreciate nice views and could do with some fresh air.
- You're not beach person and want active honeymoon in breathtaking location. We spent our honeymoon in Misurina and think it's very romantic place to celebrate first moments after the wedding.
No matter if it's only one-weekend outing or 2-weeks holidays - you won't feel bored in Misurina. There's only one type of people who won't be in their element there - fashion-oriented people.
In Misurina, the atmosphere is definitely laid-back.
There won't be a single person holding Dolce & Gabbana bag and looking if someone else has got the same. No peering at Prada sunglasses. Everyone wears comfortable sports clothes. Even if someone just dropped by traveling somewhere else, there will be no fancy clothes and rating the others according to the brand they wear.
There will be many people with sports gear, but I've never met a mountain type person who asseses other people on the trail by brands: "Oh, she's got Mammut trekking boots, great colours, I could go hiking with her".😉
Besides relaxed fashion attitude, Misurina offers you the greatest views ever - village is located by lake and surrounded by Sexten Dolomites peaks.
I've never slept so high - Misurina lies on 1755 metres. I loved the fact that we were located so high! Despite the altitude, there's comfortable hotels, restaurants and camping available. And a chair lift and nice asphalt road. 🙂 It can be reached traveling on road SP49.
Where to eat in Misurina
The most popular restaurants in Misurina are: Edelweiss and Quinz.
The first one is basically a pizzeria offering just a few other dishes besides pizza. Quinz has got more ample menu - everyone will find something to their own liking there - but is a bit more pricey than Edelweiss. Both restaurants serve delicious food.
Hiking trails near Misurina
Thanks to it's altitude, Misurina is great choice for those interested in hiking and climbing via ferrata trails - located next to Tre Cime Natural Park, it offers variety of hiking trails near at hand:
By the way, when searching for via ferrata trails I often use klettersteig.de. What I like about this website is that it offers complete list of climbing trails. All mapped. It's available only in German language but you can easily deduce and/or translate the necessary info.
There are 5 mountain huts which can be easily reached on foot starting from Misurina:
- Auronzo (2333 metres) - accessible also by car and bus. I highly recommend getting to Auronzo by bus - ticket from Misurina (bus stop next to Camping Alla Baita) costs only 4 EUR per adult person. Car access charge is high - it costs 25 EUR and only makes sense if you travel in bigger group.
- Col de Varda (2106 metres).
- Citta' Di Carpi - CAI (2110 metres).
- Fonda Savio (2367 metres).
- Bosi (2205 metres) - accessible also by jeep shuttle (start next to Camping Alla Baita).

One thing which one needs to be aware of is chilly weather. It won't be scorching hot in Misurina, not even in the summer. Nights are cold and windy. One day we woke up to see the mountains covered in snow! There was snowfall in the middle of July!
The unpredictable weather in Misurina is caused by it's high altitude and the proximity of mountains. It's highly advisable to take additional pieces of clothing: fleece jumper, windproof jacket, comfortable shoes.

What to Do with All of the Time Mighty Saves You
Updated: Oct 16, 2020
Remember free time? The opportunity to do anything your heart desires…
Yeah, me neither.
But what if I told you that there was a way to get free time back? As you may have heard, you can get estimates on your inspection reports in just 24 hours but what does that really mean? All the time you would have spent calling 10 different contractors just hoping one calls you back can now be spent on chasing another sale or giving yourself a well-deserved break.
Taking breaks is so important to performing good work, and the amounts of time you need to spend on breaks can be as few as five minutes to as much as a full day. Below are some ways to spend those precious breaks, from the least to most amount of time you have to spare.
Hug - <1 minute
According to Mental Health America, human touch not only releases serotonin, but reduces blood pressure and heart rate. Find someone in your quarantine pod and get to squeezing!
Laugh - 2 minutes (or more!)
Not only can laughing reduce anxiety, it can actually decrease pain! It's time to replace the pain in your chest caused by stress with a pain in your stomach from laughing too hard. Find someone to tell you a joke, recount a funny story, or just watch this video.
Intentional Breathing - 5 minutes
Yes, really! Taking just 5 minutes to take deep, intentional breaths has a lot of positive health benefits. It clears your headspace, lowers your stress level, and helps you relax.
Pet a Dog - 15 minutes
According to Mental Health America, petting a dog releases the feel good hormones (serotonin, prolactin, and oxytocin) and lowers the stress hormone (cortisol).
Stretching - 20 minutes
You may not know this, but your body holds stress in so many different places. Taking the time to do a quick, full-body stretch to let go of that stress will help you feel light and airy before taking on your next task. Here's a great list of stretches to reduce tension in your body.
Exercise - 30 minutes
Before you scroll, just know that this doesn't have to be an intense workout! Taking the time to walk your dog around the neighborhood will do the trick. Simply getting your body moving for just 30 minutes will not only reduce stress, but improve your sleep and mood in the short-term, and your overall health in the long-term.
Nap - 40 minutes
Make yourself a nice cup of caffeinated tea, drink it, then climb into bed in your dark room with an alarm set for under an hour (40 minutes is my preferred amount of time). According to The Sleep Foundation, "a study at NASA on sleepy military pilots and astronauts found that a 40-minute nap improved performance by 34% and alertness 100%." Who doesn't want that? When you wake up, the caffeine will already be kicking in and you'll be ready to take on your next task without grogginess.
Pick up a Hobby - 1 to 4 hours
Having an activity that you enjoy will allow you to recharge. Some shorter activities include knitting or crocheting, reading or writing, and cooking. Some longer activities include biking or rock climbing, fishing, and taking classes like woodworking, dancing, or academic. Having a dedicated day for an activity you enjoy will not only give you something to look forward to during the week, but also give you a reason to stop and simply enjoy a task.
A Day of Rest - 24 hours
This is truly a lost art. Inc.com presents 12 reasons why a regularly scheduled full day of rest is actually scientifically proven to be beneficial. Some reasons include reducing stress, reducing inflammation and the risk of heart disease, and active time off adding years to your life. Check out the full article here.
And there you have it! No matter how much or little time you have for a breather, I hope something on this list can regularly fit into your schedule. And, now that you've reached the end of this post, take a minute to drop your tongue to the bottom of your mouth, sit up straight, roll your shoulders back, and take 5 deep breaths. This alone will send you off into your next task a little less stressed!

Thanks to the moderate temperatures that the Andaman and Nicobar Islands see throughout the year, Havelock is ideal for visits all year round. Nevertheless, the most ideal time to visit is considered to be between October to May. You will be greeted by pleasant sunshine complemented by minimal rain, which will not hamper any plans for adventure sports!
Things to do in Havelock
Scuba Diving
Put on your oxygen masks and delve deep into the mysterious underwater world. Scuba diving is by far one of the most popular adventure activities you can try out as a couple. At any reputed centre, you will be given some basic training where you will learn tricks to communicate underwater and other technicalities required for a memorable and safe experience. You can then dive into the blues under the guidance of your trainer and marvel at an entire world full of vividly coloured fishes and fascinating corals.
Havelock is home to a large part of India's mangrove cover. This area is dotted with beautiful mangrove trees and tranquil waters which are perfect for a kayaking trip downstream. Hop onto a two or three-seater and explore the surrounding areas of the island that are teeming with several indeginous species of wildlife. Kayaking through these areas at night gives you the most other-worldly experience. As you cruise through the waters, bewildering lights caused by the phenomenon of bioluminescence greet you, making for truly mesmerising sights.
Places to Visit
Radhanagar Beach
One of the most famous beaches in Andaman, Radhanagar Beach, is a serene destination that graces its visitors with mind-blowing views of the crystal clear blue water encroaching on the silky white sand. Whether you want to relax in a shack, take a dip in the ocean or treat your eyes to mesmerizing sunsets, this is the place to be.
Elephant Beach
Elephant Beach is a major attraction that embodies the philosophy - 'the journey is as important as the destination. Located in the northern parts of Havelock, this beach is separated by a dense tropical jungle, making it accessible only by a boat ride, or a trek through the jungle. This secluded beach offers a number of water sport activities as well as an undisturbed and private experience in the lap of nature.
Unwind amidst luxury at Symphony Palms
Owing to the several luxurious facilities and amenities, Symphony Palms is perhaps the best honeymoon beach resort. Havelock, not unlike other beachside destinations, has a fair number of beautiful coastline stretches that are dotted with pleasant beaches. At Symphony Palms Resort & Spa, you get exclusive access to your own private beach. You can choose to spend your day at a romantic picnic with your partner by the calming tides. Arrangements can be made for such picnics on demand. Trained professionals will set out the perfect picnic basket with the choicest delicacies and the perfect wine to accompany your meal.
You can also opt for a charming candlelit dinner on the shores, right under the starry skies! The resort is designed to accommodate this requirement as well. We also offer an exclusive Havelock honeymoon package to our guests so that you can get at the best prices without having to compromise on the quality of your accommodation or hospitality.

February 16, 2022
SINGAPORE – The police have frozen 121 local bank accounts and recovered about $2 million lost by victims in phishing scams targeting OCBC Bank customers as at Sunday (Feb 13), said Minister of State for Home Affairs Desmond Tan.
Providing an update on the ongoing investigations into the OCBC phishing scams which took place last December, Mr Tan also said that about $2.2 million of victims' funds have been traced to 89 overseas bank accounts.
"Many of the scam websites used in the phishing scams were hosted by web hosting companies based overseas," said Mr Tan, who chairs the Inter-Ministry Committee on Scams (IMCS) set up in April 2020.
Specifically, at least 107 local and 171 overseas Internet protocol (IP) addresses were linked to the unauthorised access of the victims' internet banking accounts.
He was replying MPs Tan Wu Meng (Jurong GRC), Sitoh Yih Pin (Potong Pasir SMC) and Dennis Tan (Hougang SMC), who asked for an update in Parliament on the ongoing investigations into the OCBC phishing scams.
The police have commenced investigations into the local IP addresses linked to the scams and the owners of the local money mule accounts.
The police are also working with Interpol and foreign law enforcement agencies to investigate the beneficiaries of the funds transferred overseas and the hosts of the scam websites.
Mr Tan was not able to divulge more information as investigations were still ongoing.
But he noted that OCBC customers fell prey amid a sharp increase in the number of scams reported in Singapore.
Phishing scams involving SMSes that impersonated banks in Singapore have increased significantly, from 149 cases in 2020 to 1,021 last year. The OCBC scams were the largest case involving such fraudulent schemes.
Overall, there were 23,931 cases of scams reported last year, of which 5,020 were phishing scam cases.
MPs Ang Wei Neng (West Coast GRC) and Cheng Li Hui (Tampines GRC) asked for the number of similar scams reported over the past five years and if the police were well-resourced to tackle scam-related crime.
Mr Tan said: "The use of a combination of highly orchestrated tactics, involving spoofed SMSes appearing in the same thread as genuine messages from the bank and links directing victims to a scam website, as well as the large number of customers targeted in the OCBC scams, show that the threat is now significantly heightened."
He also said that people aged between 20 and 39 formed the largest group of victims of phishing scams and those related to jobs, e-commerce, investments, loans, China official impersonation and fake gambling platforms.
The largest group of victims of social media impersonation scams and those involving Internet love and fake friend calls were those aged between 40 and 59.
Responding to a question by Associate Professor Jamus Lim (Sengkang GRC) about unauthorised transactions made on credit cards in the past year, Mr Tan said card fraud cases reported by major credit card issuers here to the Monetary Authority of Singapore made up less than 0.1 per cent of total credit card transactions.
Mr Tan noted that the police are extremely stretched, with officers trying to cope with increasing workload and expectations without a proportionate increase in manpower.
But the Anti-Scam Centre has frozen around 24,000 bank accounts suspected of being involved in scam activities and recovered about $160 million in scam proceeds since it was set up by the police in 2019.
The amount recovered included part of $17 million lost since 2020 to about 1,300 cases of phishing scams involving spoofed SMSes that impersonated banks here, added Mr Tan.
He emphasised that recovery of money lost to scams is difficult, adding that where such sums have been recovered by the police, it involved the help of financial institutions.
Mr Tan noted that the police will be forming an Anti-Scam Command this year to consolidate expertise in scams across all police units, thereby improving coordination of anti-scam enforcement and investigations.
The police uses technology to automate manual work processes in its fight against scams, including the generation of electronic production orders to banks for the freezing of bank accounts associated with scams.
"This allows police resources to focus on critical investigations and enforcement work," Mr Tan said.
The police is also using other technology, such as the ScamShield app, to crowdsource information on scam calls and SMSes.
Mr Tan said ScamShield – developed by the National Crime Prevention Council in collaboration with Open Government Products, a division of the Government Technology Agency, and the police – has been downloaded about 257,000 times to date.
About 3.7 million SMSes and calls have been identified as potential scams by the in-app algorithm and by user reports through the app, while about 15,500 phone numbers have been blocked.
"ScamShield picked up and filtered about 2,000 scam messages used in the OCBC phishing scams," said Mr Tan. "Unfortunately, a lot more scam messages managed to reach the SMS inboxes of ScamShield users, mainly because they appeared in the same thread as legitimate messages."
He said this gap will be plugged to counter spoofed SMSes.
While ScamShield is currently only available for iOS devices, Mr Tan said an Android version is planned to be released in the next few months.
The IMCS will step up public education efforts on scams. For example, it has started working with the Agency for Integrated Care, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Manpower and MoneySense to educate seniors, students, migrant workers and professionals on scams.

CHRISTIANSTED — Governor Albert Bryan wished Virgin Islanders a safe and healthy Thanksgiving holiday, imploring all the territory's residents to follow CDC guidelines for any family gatherings.
Bryan also suggested that everyone make Friday, November 27, a "Day of Family, Prayer and Reflection" to consider the tough year everyone has had with the COVID-19 pandemic and the extremely active hurricane season.
The governor announced that he's calling the 33rd Legislature into a Special Session on December 3 to consider a second securitization bill, that would create revenue for the territory by refinancing the government's debt and allowing the USVI to re-enter the bond market.
The proceeds from the refunding of the bonds in collaboration with the Legislature will be assigned to priority areas, such as the Government Employees' Retirement System (GERS) and infrastructure projects in the territory.
Regarding the administrative leave, Bryan said all non-essential government employees are granted administrative leave, and he urged private sector businesses to participate and allow their employees to have the day off as well.
"We give thanks to the almighty Creator for sparing us through another hurricane season and extend our prayers to those who were not as fortunate during what has been a record year for storm activity in the Atlantic," Bryan said. "Please utilize the day to spend with family and reflect on our many blessings received. In a year that has been filled with many trials, we remain thankful."
The governor also said he is instituting a two-week "soft shutdown" of government agencies and asking all department heads and commissioners to allow their staff to work remotely for the two weeks after Thanksgiving weekend.
"I am urging all private and public employers to follow suit. Allow workers to perform their duties remotely where possible, or to take time off, or to work staggered schedules," Bryan said.
As another safety measure against a widespread outbreak of COVID-19 after the Thanksgiving holiday, Bryan is instituting a moratorium on the issuance of permits for large events.
"No permits will be granted for any activities in public spaces for large events, sports tournaments or food sales until further notice," the governor said. "Those of you who have plans to do so, please cancel them now. No exceptions. This is not a time to be out but to recognize the way that the U.S, mainland is trending if we are not diligent, another shutdown territory-wide is imminent."
Bryan also advised residents who plan to gather for Thanksgiving of the CDC guidelines to make for a safer holiday get-together:
- Move meals outdoors if possible
- If celebrating indoors, open windows and doors to keep fresh air flowing
- Limit the number of guests to 10 or less and do not attempt to have a mass gathering
- Limit the number of people going in and out of the kitchen
- Don't be embarrassed to ask people dropping by to wear their masks
- Keep 6 feet away from people you don't live with
- Encourage guests to wash their hands and use hand sanitizer
"This year's holiday will prove difficult for a lot of Virgin Islanders as we are accustomed to gather together and celebrate each other and the things we are grateful for," Governor Bryan said. "But the reality is that the COVID-19 virus is spreading at record levels all throughout the United States. Americans today have a greater risk of contracting the virus now more than any other time this year.
Here at home, we are swimming against the current trying not to follow that negative trend," Governor Bryan said. "But the number of our active cases for the last two weeks have been slowly rising upwards."
COVID-19 cases
- Currently tracking 57 active cases
- 27,823 individuals tested to date (more than 25% of the population)
- 26,277 of those tests were negative,507 tests came back positive
- 1,427 people have recovered
- 23 deaths to date
- No COVID-19 patients are hospitalized at Juan F. Luis Hospital on St. Croix or at Schneider Regional Medical Center on St. Thomas.

Digital / Online Media has transformed 21st century society. Online media groups are now providing marketing, information and services content across a wide range of platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. Daily, billions of viewers using their smartphones across the world can view, share, comment, store innumerable videos, texts, images and music constantly overflowing the web. Journalism, entertainment, commerce, politics… all areas of communication are involved and affected by this new communication era.
Most traditional media have converted to these new modes of communication and information dissemination. Now, most of those rely solely on the internet for their models. Worse: any individual on the planet with a smartphone and a good internet connection has become a new source of creation, dissemination, modification, relay of information!
