Urban Tactilism on Telegraph
On a weekday morning, Telegraph Ave is flooded with pedestrians jostling and meandering their way to campus. Buses rumble down the street while bikes weave through the action. At first glance, one might presume that this bustle of people could only mean that the Telegraph corridor (between Bancroft Way and Dwight Way) is a successful city street. With so much foot traffic, what else does it need? Berkeley city planners, designers, and business owners disagree. Although there is heavy commuter activity, the street does not provide opportunities for people to rest or hang out. According to these stakeholders, the deficiency has made the street impersonal, unsafe, and difficult for local businesses.
Beyond the rush of commuters, many see the opportunity for Telegraph to be a weekend destination for shoppers and families with outdoor seating, musical elements, and art. Public and private organizations are working to design spaces for these activities, while critics argue that these changes are superficial, and that they have the potential to exclude and even displace the homeless population on Telegraph Ave.
Telegraph has long been legendary as a center of art, free speech, and community inclusion. According to Professor of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning Achva Stein, the district was defined by "everything being on the street." Doris Moskowitz, owner of Moe's Books, explains that the vendors on the street comprised an "alternative economy" of handmade goods. Some of the original characteristics of Telegraph are still present, like the independent music stores, book sellers, and cafés, but others are not. The city of Berkeley as well as private interests are turning to public art and urban design in an attempt to make Telegraph a "cultural destination" that "celebrates [its] extraordinary diversity and historical significance" as well as "technological and social innovation," according to the city's Telegraph Public Art Plan.
Today, many people fear that Telegraph has lost its status as a gathering place and has become focused on shopping errands and fast dining. However, the main complaint that the Telegraph Business Improvement District (TBID) receives about experiences on Telegraph Ave are aesthetic. TBID is an organization of businesses located on Telegraph Avenue that work together to create an environment that benefits Telegraph's businesses. TBID's research incorporates public meetings, collaboration with Berkeley Design Advocates and the UC Berkeley architects, and hearing opinions from street vendors, merchants, and city planners. The City of Berkeley has also held public meetings that allow attendees to express their interests and concerns. City of Berkeley District 7 Councilman Kriss Worthington found that at these meetings, "certain people were very excited about the art in storefronts" because it is inexpensive and "could be done speedily." Worthington also notes that TBID's plan "has a lot less public input," and many of the proposed projects will draw from private funds, such as a proposed earth-toned chemical stain for the sidewalks.
The City of Berkeley and TBID have published plans for altering the public environment of the street, proposing a combination of artistic, infrastructural, and transportation elements. Both plans rely on the low-budget, outreach-oriented practices of tactical urbanism, or low-cost and temporary projects, to quickly produce changes to the street. Along with the city's preliminary report on Public Art, the city has also approved an implementation plan, which focuses on specific projects from both the city's and TBID's plans and identifies sources of funding.
Professor Achva Stein of the UC Berkeley Landscape Architecture Department argues that the changes needed for Telegraph should be social rather than designed. While the City of Berkeley's Public Art Plan and TBID's Public Realm Plan imply that public art can harness the existing creative energy of Telegraph and is therefore a continuation of the existing atmosphere, others disagree. Professor Stein argues that "in order to put public art you need to have safe places to walk for all ages," and that rather than placing objects in the street with the hopes of sparking interaction, planning should focus on ways to work with business owners and community members to "get everybody together" on the street. She explains that interventions as simple as the addition of chairs on the street or the limitation of cars can be extremely effective in increasing a sense of community.
The differing priorities for Telegraph require both compromise and collaboration. For example, the TBID, the University, and the city look to benefit from making Telegraph more accessible for bikes and transit for residents and visitors. Thus, bike racks, increased transit, and decreased automobile traffic serve multiple interests. All three parties also hope that increased public art on Telegraph will engage businesses, pedestrians, and visitors with the University and the larger community. The Berkeley Police Department also presents a funding opportunity for the city, suggesting "natural surveillance" and "maintenance" over conspicuous security measures that make the space feel unfriendly and unwelcoming.
In conjunction with this, Housing Commission Chair Matthew Lewis is working with City Council to resolve an "unintentional conflict" within zoning law, allowing for the construction of tall buildings between Bancroft Way and Dwight Way on Telegraph. While this may not directly alter the public realm, it would likely add more pedestrians and activity to the street if high-density development followed this change in zoning.
Through The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF), a UC-Berkeley sponsored grant program for sustainability projects on campus, the university is involved in an initiative called Telegraph Green, which encourages businesses on Telegraph and their patrons to use reusable utensils and to-go containers. Jennifer McDougall, Principal Planner of UC Berkeley Real Estate, hopes that this project will serve both the environment and the atmosphere of Telegraph. By having people create less waste and take care of the street, it might result in "taking more ownership of it" and help "reduce trash in the area." McDougall explains that the university views Telegraph in terms of its Long Range Development Plan, which aims to shape the major corridors where students live and commute. She says the university's top priorities are to improve public transportation along Telegraph, promote a variety of nighttime and daytime activities, and integrate curriculum with the district. As far as the university's contribution to public art on Telegraph, McDougall envisions a thorough design process in order to ensure that "the art that goes up on Telegraph is meaningful art and not just plop art."
Collaboration with the Chancellor's Community Partnership Fund and the Berkeley Police Department would result in funding for projects such as a resident artist program and street lighting improvements. However, these organizations have distinct priorities from those of the TBID and the city, such as student engagement in Berkeley and crime prevention through Environmental Design, as outlined in a 2006 police report. UC Berkeley's Long Range Development Plan identifies Telegraph from Bancroft through to North Oakland as a "Housing Zone" for students and staff, so it is especially interested in changes to the street. The city may also apply for grants for its projects, utilize City of Berkeley Berkeley Public Works and county funds for infrastructure projects, and approach local businesses about potential funding for projects to be located just outside store property. Worthington points out that while these efforts are exciting, he is concerned about funding. He explains that projects where the money is already set aside, such as the AC Transit Parklet collaboration and other less expensive projects like the storefront art initiative, would be the first to be implemented.
Moskowitz believes the first step of improving Telegraph depends upon Berkeley "admit[ting] that it needs development [and] that it needs housing." She explains that business owners like herself and the overall neighborhood "want congestion." She is most interested in TBID's plan of using the Dwight Triangle Plaza "as a place for remembering our history." As for the various other proposed improvements for Telegraph: "The more stuff happening, the better."
These proposals and their opposition represent different perspectives and visions of what Telegraph should be, shaped by varying personal relationships to the street itself. Renee Chow, Professor of Architecture and Urban Design and Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies in the College of Environmental Design, studies urban design and how we form associations with certain spaces. In her work, she explores the relationship between "figure" and "field" elements. Figures are landmarks, elements designed to draw attention, while fields are overarching aesthetics of certain areas, or "distinguishing elements...that...occur often enough that we begin to associate these elements or themes with the location." She explains that while "some would like to assign meaning to certain forms or kinds of spaces, one cannot assume that all will read the same thing." What does this mean for Telegraph? For students, Telegraph might be defined by its retail and fast dining options, while for older residents may read the same setting as lacking in the entertainment options of the past. These impressions of Telegraph matter in making design changes because, according to Professor Chow, "the addition of new items should not only provide something that may have been missing but also intensify or repair some ongoing continuity in the location."
Other changes proposed for the public realm have proven to be much more divisive. A Public Conduct Amendment approved late last fall criminalizes leaving one's belongings on city planters, along with other activities associated with Berkeley's homeless population. TBID supported the amendment, citing issues that businesses owners had with cleaning the sidewalks outside of their storefronts. Baker of the TBID explains the intention of the amendment "is not to prevent an individual from using their First Amendment rights to panhandle but instead to improve "everyone's access to the sidewalks--which are community property." He notes that Telegraph "can be so congested that it intimidates others who want to use the sidewalk" and says that his business "regularly get[s] complaints about the situation." He believes the Amendment to be beneficial because "for a pedestrian environment to thrive, the common space needs to be accessible and welcoming to all."
McDougall explains that while the University does not support these legal measures, it seeks to create a "a culture of change" in which "the entire community more or less agree that...we're not willing to accept [certain activities] on the sidewalk." The council meeting sparked widespread protest, with residents and student activists taking to the podium to criticize the proposal, calling it "inhumane" and unrepresentative of Berkeley's population.
Others, including Miguel Carrera, Housing Justice Organizer of the Coalition for Homeless in San Francisco, oppose legal and physical interventions to the street environment for their potential to displace homeless people. Carrera argues that the criminalization of the homeless population in San Francisc has taken shape because it is "eas[ier] to...pay the police" rather than provide affordable housing. He also cites the power imbalance between businesses and the homeless population. Businesses, which provide revenue for the city, sway the city towards their proposals and ideas, often at the cost of the homeless population, which has less financial power. He emphasizes that changes to street design are superficial, when the real issues are connected to inequality and lack of affordable housing. He acknowledges that [the government] "want[s] to beautify the city" but asks: "when do they want to beautify the life of homeless people?"
Worthington seems unconcerned that the Amendment will alter the existing situation on Telegraph, noting the fact that while San Francisco has criminalized sitting on the sidewalk, and this law is rarely enforced. He notes that "it's sort of sad that [Berkeley City Council is] willing to vote to criminalize [the homeless] but not actually solve the problem," citing the difficulty of passing affordable housing measures in city council. However, Worthington feels that the outrage in response to the Amendment is "just political posturing in order to rile up a certain part of Berkeley" Washington maintains that while the Amendment "gets a lot of publicity, [it won't] really...change the situation very much."
Much of the discussion of Telegraph is framed using phrases like "change," "improvement," and "addition." To Professor Chow, the most effective interventions that can be made to a space are the ones that "take advantage of previously unseen opportunities" and "highlight [and] intensify the field" of a place. This raises an important question: What types of elements and values already exist on Telegraph that could be added to? This question could guide future discussion of Telegraph and produce more socially inclusive proposals. While the process may be long, the city has plans to complete several projects to improve Telegraph, including parklets funded by AC Transit. The Public Art Plan also suggests decorative bike racks, a "monumental artwork" on Dwight and Telegraph, more beautiful trash bins, and regular events held on Telegraph. As for the Public Realm Plan, an earth-toned chemical stain for the sidewalk is soon to be piloted, while there are plans to create an Art Plaza on Durant, increased outdoor seating on the street, an extension of the sidewalks, bike lanes leading to Telegraph from Bancroft, and more street trees.

Three weeks ago, on what felt like the first cool Saturday morning of the fall, I was pulled out of that early morning light sleep by my buzzing phone. It was just before 7am, and on the other end of the text message was a frantic senior at my high school.
"Boll! Just wanted to let you know I'm gonna bomb this test because I don't have a calculator!!!"
I knew she was taking the SATs, an overdue necessity for this particular student. A student who has a world of ability, and a little less motivation. Though if she read this she would tell me the "less motivation" line is an oversimplification.
My first reaction was to think of all the reasons why I shouldn't help her which included the conversation we had just 20 hours before that reminded her to make sure her calculator was in her bag.
But my second reaction was a little more helpful.
"I'll see what I can do," I said. And I rolled out of bed apologizing to my wife for leaving the house on a Saturday morning.
How I finally got the calculator is not important. But it took a lot of phone calls, some help, and all the speed my Civic could muster to get across the city and back to the testing location with a TI-80-whatever and 2 minutes to spare.
I sprinted one full circle around the Catholic high school that had been assigned for the tests. There were no signs. No tables set up for sign-in. And there was no information to tell me where to find the 100 high school students lining up for a test. All the doors I could find were locked and the person I was looking for had a cell phone that only worked with WiFi because her service was suspended. I was going to give up entirely until I saw some freckle-faced, awkward 16 year old walking into a door tucked around the back of the campus.
I yelled and he stopped and answered my questions to help me find the actual place where I would find the student who needed the calculator.
I walked into a lobby and looked around. The faces were mostly white and relaxed as students talked to friends in groups that looked like almost any high school lobby. Everybody seemed to know each other, which made sense because most of them were wearing sweatshirts with the name of the catholic school where they were taking the test.
Most of the kids in the room had woke up on a Saturday morning, went to the door that they had heard about on Friday afternoon in the announcements, and took a test with most of their friends. It was comfortable.
However, the student I was meeting was the only one from her high school, she needed luck to even find the place, and she probably felt a little less comfortable. She was playing on the road, while most of the room had home field advantage.
She had choices. But it is worth noting that when students from the neighborhood high schools in Pittsburgh choose their SAT testing location, they will inevitably leave their neighborhood. They will go to one of the better city high schools, or to a university, or to a suburban high school.
It is one way we give students with the toughest road to college success another road block. But it is just one way, and there are thousands more.
That week, after the great calculator chase, I got a call from one of last year's graduating seniors at my high school. She is not just any graduating senior, she had overcome all kinds of challenges to walk across the stage as valedictorian of her class. She is getting all "A's" and "B's" at Temple University and tells me each time we talk how great it has been. She is making the most of her opportunity, as she always does.
But this call was different. She told me that she was afraid that she would have to come home in December. There was $3500 dollars that her aid and scholarships didn't cover, and she needed to get a loan to stay in school. Unfortunately, no one will give her that loan without a cosigner with decent credit. Since her parents have credit that has taken a hit over the years, she doesn't have that co-signer.
I went in to ignorant white savior mode thinking there is no way she had all the facts. I called everyone, unwilling to believe that we don't have an answer for this situation. I made the assumption that no one would make a good student give up their dream over $3500. But the student was right. She had spent countless hours in the financial aid office, on the telephone, and asking questions just to find out that there was no happy ending.
Again, we give another road block to the student who already had the toughest climb.
On Monday of last week I got another call. This time it was from a Freshman at Duquesne University who also graduated last year. He told me he was doing pretty well, and he shared with pride about how he was writing a contrarian essay on cultural appropriation. But then, with a raw honesty, he told me he had just spent the last hour crying. He is a BioChem Major and feels like he is going to fail out of his Chemistry course. It's not for lack of effort, but he thinks he is missing some of the algebraic foundations required. I told him that Chemistry would make me cry too, but that wasn't immediately helpful. He approached his professor multiple times and her answer was rather blunt.
"If you don't get this, I'm not sure how to help you."
Again, a roadblock. Not a bridge. I could spend the next 12 blog posts that I write arguing for demise of blowhard academics who can't teach, but that seems like just yelling at her for not buying into my flawed starfish ideology. If the only student you can teach is the one who got a 5 on the AP Chem exam, we are going to end up with a privileged lot of chemists who only come from elite high schools. But that is for another day.
The point is more that these stories aren't just preachy anecdotes, they are the kind of thing that I notice every day, if not every hour of each day. Our system has consistently built walls instead of bridges, making the road for many of our most vulnerable students that much harder.
We've set up a system that gives some of our young people wide open paths to a promising future. That same system gives others a complicated maze, full of hazards and roadblocks to slow them down. We give them ample reason to give up.
The whole thing can start to feel kind of hopeless. It feels like we are banking on the few starfish that find water rather than trying to fix the messed up currants that pushed them all ashore.
But then I came to work this week. I did the only thing that feels hopeful to me, which is to go into room 375, turn on my lamps, and try to teach. I usually land somewhere between stuttering failure and barely adequate, but kids keep battling through to surprise me and give me hope. It's a horribly unjust system that requires some students to break through walls while others float over them, but if I focus on the system I find no hope at all. However, if I focus on the students who push through, like the girl with the calculator, I find hope.
That student got her SAT score back today.
She was smiling.
Her best friend was frustrated because he got an 1140 and he wanted the steak dinner I promised for the kids who got a 1200.
I might just have to budge on my promise. A steak is small price to pay for hope.

The remote areas of northern Maine - including Aroostook, Piscataquis and Penobscot counties - are some of the most sparsely populated in the Northeast. For residents of these areas, this frequently means that ordering heating oil fuel involves a great expense and inconvenience.
At Smart Touch Energy, we believe everyone should have access to affordable, easy-to-obtain heating oil, even if they live in a rural community. Given that more than 70% of the state's population relies on oil to heat their homes, this is more than just an ideal - it's a practical consideration for a large portion of Mainers, one that has a tangible effect on their household budget over the course of a long winter.
Northern Mainers are known as a fiercely independent bunch. Few relish the thought of being tied down to a long-term contract. That's why Smart Touch Energy introduced its hassle-free, one time oil delivery service. One time delivery service lets you benefit from some of the lowest oil prices in Maine without committing to a single supplier. All you need is a ZIP code and email address to create an account, check current rates and arrange a delivery.
We believe the value and quality of service we offer our customers is enough to keep them coming back. Place an order today and see for yourself!
Alternately, our Automatic Delivery service ensures you always have fuel when you need it. Any Mainer who has ever run out of heating oil in the dead of winter knows how inconvenient and costly it can be to request emergency service. With the Automatic Delivery program, we calculate your fuel usage based on a proprietary method for determining heat degree day (HDD) and call you to schedule a delivery before you run low. Sign up today and never worry about having enough oil on hand again.
Our rates per gallon are consistently as much as $0.40 per gallon lower than Energy Information Administration averages. How do we do it? As a Shipley Energy company, we have the buying power and delivery infrastructure necessary to keep costs low, even during the winter months when oil prices traditionally spike. We also have a policy of delivering fair and transparent billing to all of our customers. If you pay for a full tank of oil online, but only require 3/4 of it, you'll be automatically refunded the difference. Likewise, if the price of oil jumps between the time you placed your order and your delivery date, we'll honor the earlier, lower price.
Our online ordering system is easy to use, convenient and, ultimately, a better choice for northern Maine. Buy oil and arrange a delivery at any time. With Smart Touch Energy, it's as easy as sending an email. You'll also avoid the hassle of having to keep cash or a check on hand when the delivery is made.
From placing an order to making a delivery, Smart Touch Energy is determined to offer a smarter way to purchase fuel online. Add to that some of the lowest oil prices in northern Maine, and it's clear to see why we're the region's preferred partner for all things related to home heating.

Clovis News
New bureau to vie for Valley tourists
After a scramble to get off the ground, the Fresno-Clovis Convention and Visitors Bureau is in business.
As of Jan. 1, it replaced the Fresno Convention and Visitors Bureau, which fell victim to city budget cuts. The new bureau is funded instead through a room surcharge levied by local hotels.
"It's a brand new day, a rebirth," acting Chief Executive Layla Forstedt said.
There are plenty of challenges, she acknowledged.
The new bureau will operate on a tight budget for at least the first two years, and the staff has been cut by half to seven.
The nation is emerging from a deep recession, but California's economy remains fragile and the effect on Fresno County's $1.1 billion-a-year tourism industry remains uncertain.
The new bureau has a new, energetic board, but it and staff will need time to learn the nuances of a different way of doing business, she said.
Still, bureau and local government officials are optimistic.
Shawn Miller, city of Clovis business development manager and a bureau board member, said the new bureau will boost the city's growing tourism and convention business.
A decade ago, he said, Clovis had one hotel; now it has eight.
"We don't have the budget to advertise to the larger market," Miller said. "We need someone to [team] with."
Jay Virk -- spokesman for La Quinta Inn and Suites near Shaw Avenue and Highway 99 in Fresno, and the Fairfield Inn & Suites Marriott and Comfort Inn in Clovis -- said the new bureau is marketing the area as a "destination" rather than just a stop on a trip to somewhere else.
"We're centrally located to all your outdoor activities," said Virk, also a board member. "We have a great arts district. We have state-of-the-art centers for meetings and conventions. That's not an exaggeration -- that's the reality."
Promoting the area
Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin for months had urged the creation of a new bureau. She said the board, dominated by hotel-motel owners or managers, is part of the bureau's strength.
The new bureau "puts the people who know best how to market conventions and visitors services in charge of how their resources are being used," Swearengin said. "I expect terrific things from that group."
Forstedt said she and her staff have plenty of ideas.
They're in the early stages of planning a visitors center that would focus on agriculture-based tourism and education. Forstedt said it's too early to talk about costs, sources of money and location.
Forstedt said a research and development department staffed by Fresno State interns was added last year.
She said its duties include writing grant applications to supplement the bureau's budget.
The bureau also will be politically active to improve Fresno and Clovis as tourist destinations. For example, she said, the bureau will lobby for the resurrection of a regional museum along the lines of the former Fresno Metropolitan Museum.
The bureau is ecstatic over a three-page spread in the California 2011 Official State Visitor's Guide and Travel Planner that touts the region as a "Central Valley surprise." The first page features a color photo of Fresno's Tower Theatre.
"We are a destination and it's only going to get better," Forstedt said.
Owners get creative
Everyone appears to be smiling now, but the journey was rocky.
Fresno's efforts to market its convention and tourism industries were plagued for decades by funding woes and philosophical disputes.
The old visitors bureau never knew for sure how much taxpayer money it would get from city and county officials, who also wanted a say in how things were done.
By 2010, the old bureau was getting most of its money -- $1.2 million -- from Fresno City Hall. But the city was nearly broke.
Swearengin in her Fiscal Year 2011 budget proposed to cut the old bureau's funding to $450,000 -- enough to run the bureau for six months.
After that, the bureau was on its own.
The result was a financial and organizational crisis that in retrospect was a blessing, Forstedt said. The bureau -- first under CEO Jeff Eben, then under Forstedt when Eben left in July for a job in Wisconsin -- teamed with hotel-motel owners to create a tourism business improvement district.
The key was getting hotels and motels to agree to add a room surcharge. The process was complicated -- for example, would the new entity include all of Fresno County?
In the end, Fresno and Clovis hotels and motels voted overwhelmingly to form the district, Forstedt said.
The city councils in Fresno and Clovis also approved the district.
Forstedt said hotels and motels in smaller cities in the county chose not to participate but may in the future. The 85 hotels and motels in Fresno and Clovis charge a 1% room assessment per night.
Forstedt said she expects this year's budget to be $600,000 to $800,000 and about $1 million next year.
The goal is a $2 million budget within three years, which would still put the bureau at a financial disadvantage when competing against bureaus in other large California cities, she said.
The new bureau is governed by a 21-member board, including 14 from the hotel-motel industry. The cities of Fresno and Clovis have representatives, and bureau bylaws guarantee representation by local tourist attractions such as theme parks.
Board member and hotel spokesman Virk said the new bureau will make waves nationally and internationally.
"People don't know everything we have here," he said. "We're going to tell them."

Explore content through sources: The Economic challenges faced by Weimar government
Task 1:
a) Study all sources and select a source which is interesting to you and your partner to work on. After selection, you and your partner will work on the purpose of the author.
Task 2:
b) "The Weimar government was responsible for worsening the economic crisis in 1923." How far do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer.
Source A
A British cartoon published in 1920s.
The Weimar government inherited war debts of 150 billion marks. These were the Kaiser's debts but the Weimar government had to deal with them. Added to that, the Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to pay reparations of six billion marks.
German president Frederich Ebert was the president who inherited the problems.
Source B
A British cartoon from 1920s.
In 1923, Ebert's government refused to pay reparations. French troops moved in to take what was owed. Ebert called for Passive resistance (To ask the workers to refused to work). The workers went on strike and refused to cooperate with the French. As a result, over one hundred German workers were killed in demonstrations.
Source C
A German cartoon published in 1920s.
Gutenberg (The founder of modern printing press) and the Billions-Press, "I never intended this!" From the German satirical magazine Simplicissimus, 1923.
To solve more problems, Ebert's government printed more money. It paid off billions of war debts but it also caused hyperinflation.
Source D
A photograph taken by a German photographer in 1920s.
As a result, hyperinflation caused the prices of everything went sky high. The Middle class who had savings, found their savings worthless.
Gustav Stresseman became the new chancellor and persuaded Ebert to use his emergency powers. Ebert and Stresseman scrapped the worthless mark and introduced Rentenmark. At this point, USA came to Germany's rescue with money to pay its debts and to get its industry going.
*Stresseman signed a Dawes plan (USA financial aid), which gave Germany a huge loans (800 million marks). USA also reorganised Germany's reparations payment.
*Stresseman also agreed with the Young Plan with USA. This reduced Germany's reparation repayments and spread out the payments to make them easier to afford.

Is This An Inappropriate Way For A Teacher To Dress For Her Class? [PHOTO]
A photo of a school teacher floating around the web has people debating on whether or not her dress is appropriate attire for her classroom.
Some people believe there is nothing wrong with the teacher's wardrobe and she is dressed appropriately for her classroom, while others believe the snug fit and her curves make this dress far too provocative for a classroom setting—especially if she is teaching middle school aged students or older.
Personally, I don't take any issue with her dress and have had many teachers who wore similar clothing and always kept it professional, but what do you think?
Keep in mind that even though this photo has been floating around the internet and sparking debate, no one knows its exact origin.
Would you take issue with this teacher's choice of attire if your child was one of her students? Do you think she is being judged unfairly due to her body type?

Polydipsia is the condition of being excessively thirsty and it is usually the result of a health problem. Some causes of polydipsia are easily fixed, but some are chronic. Patients with polydipsia will often drink too much water. This might seem like a good thing; after all, water is one of the healthiest things one can drink. However, drinking too much water can lead to further problems such as hyponatremia, which is a low concentration of sodium in the body. Polydipsia can also be annoying to deal with. As such, it is important for patients to find out the cause of their polydipsia in order to treat any underlying conditions they might have.
Of all the causes of polydipsia, dehydration is the easiest to identify. It is essentially caused by simply not drinking enough liquids. Individuals can also get dehydrated after sweating excessively, competing in sports events, or having an illness that causes vomiting or diarrhea. In the case of illness, patients get dehydrated because it is difficult for them to keep liquids down. Someone who is mildly dehydrated can likely fix the problem by simply drinking more water. Symptoms include polydipsia, muscle cramps, and headaches. Someone who is severely dehydrated needs to go to the hospital. Symptoms of this severity of dehydration include dizziness, a fast heart rate, and passing out.

The Delhi High Court recently passed a series of orders to lay down strict test to invoke territorial jurisdiction of the High Court. The recent orders are being seen not only as an attempt to curb forum shopping but also to shed the image of being a pro-plaintiff court. This post discusses recent decision of the two judges bench (Division Bench) in an Appeal from the decision of the single judge of the same Court titled PK Sen V Exxon Mobil Corporation that seeks to lay down strict test for invoking territorial jurisdiction of the court and clarifies that mere averment that a foreign company's subsidiary that has been licensed/permitted to use the mark has an office in Delhi is not sufficient to bring action at the Delhi High Court.
The Plaintiff/Respondent no. 1, Exxon Mobile Corporation (Exxon USA) is the registered proprietor of the trademark Exxon and being a US corporation has no office in India. The Plaintiff no. 2, a wholly owned subsidiary of Exxon, USA (Plaintiff no. 1), has an office in Delhi and is authorized by way of a license agreement in writing to use the mark EXXON in India. The licence is not recorded with the Trademarks Registry. Thus Plaintiff no. 2 is a 'permitted user' of the mark and not the 'registered user'.
The defendant in this case is trading under the name 'Exxon Engineering Corporation' and is based in Kolkata.
Exxon, USA relying on Section 134(2) of the Trademarks Act, 1999 ("the Act"), filed the suit at the Delhi High Court on the ground that Plaintiff no. 2; (its subsidiary company); has an office in Delhi. Exxon USA contended Section 134(2) of the Act empowers a Plaintiff to institute a suit for trademark infringement at any place where its office is located, therefore, the Delhi High Court has the jurisdiction to adjudicate upon the matter.
Contentions of the parties
Before the single judge, the Plaintiff no. 1 (Exxon, USA) put forth two main grounds:
- Section 52 of the Trademarks Act empowers a registered user of a mark to institute a suit for infringement, therefore there is no reason why a permitted user or an unrecorded licensee of a mark would not be similarly empowered to institute such a suit.
- Relying on Section 48(2) of the Act, Exxon, USA contended that the use of a mark by a permitted user is deemed to be use of the mark by the registered proprietor. This being the case, and considering the permitted user of the mark by its Indian subsidiary, Plaintiff no. 2 having an office in Delhi, its use of the mark would be deemed to be use by Exxon, USA in Delhi.
On the other hand, the defendant argued that it was carrying on business in Kolkata, therefore a court in Delhi would not have jurisdiction to adjudicate upon the matter. Further, in light of the fact that Section 53 of the Act imposes an express embargo on the institution of a suit by a permitted user, Plaintiff no. 2 could not have instituted the suit for trademark infringement in Delhi. Finally, since Plaintiff no. 1 did not have an office in Delhi, Section 134(2) could not come to its aid.
The Single Judge accepted Plaintiff's above submission on the territorial jurisdiction and allowed the suit to proceed on the basis of Exxon, USA Indian subsidiary office in Delhi. The Defendants preferred an Appeal before the Division Bench of the Delhi High court on the issues raised above.
Decision of the Appeal court
The appeal court took the view that the term 'person' in the explanation to Section 134(2) must be construed as being inclusive, however, it would nonetheless not include a 'permitted user' within its ambit which would be contrary to Section 53 which prohibits permitted user to take any proceedings against infringement. Therefore, the court took the view that the Plaintiff no. 2, the Indian subsidiary of Exxon Mobile was not legally empowered to institute the suit.
While deciding whether the Plaintiff no. 1 had jurisdiction to file the present suit, the court relied upon its own judgement titled Ultra Home Construction versus Purushottam Kumar Chaubey. In this case court had come up with a matrix outlining four different circumstances in which territorial jurisdiction of a particular court could be invoked. The matrix is reproduced below:
|Sr. No.
|Place of Plaintiff's Principal Office
|Place of Plaintiff's Subordinate/Branch Office
|Place where cause of action arose
|Place where plaintiff can additionally sue under section 134 (2) and section 62 (2)
Applying the matrix, the court held that since the plaintiff does not have a principal place of business in India and the cause of action did not arise in Delhi, the case does not qualify any of the four circumstances outlined above. Accordingly, the case was dismissed for lack of territorial jurisdiction.
Our comment
As the Trademarks Act by a deeming provision allows use of a trademark by a permitted user to accrue to the benefit of the registered proprietor of the trademark, irrespective of whether or not the permitted user has been recorded as a registered user, the brand owners did not see any advantage of allocating resources to record/register such permitted user with the Trademarks office. Further, in most cases the registered proprietor would license its Indian subsidiary to use the mark, the ownership and control exercised by them by way of corporate relationship was considered sufficient to rely upon the license agreement. In other words there was no added incentive to formally record them as a registered user of the mark. However, this case clarifies the position that the brand owners can take the benefit of licensee/permitted user location to invoke jurisdiction under Section 134(2) of the Act, if the license or permitted user is recorded at the Trademarks office. It is a separate matter that cause of action within the territorial jurisdiction of the court had still to be shown to invoke a court's jurisdiction under Section 134(2) of the Trade marks Act.

Living, as we do, on top of a mountain in (almost) the windiest part of the windiest country in Europe, the actual windiest place is Scotland, we get used to it being, well, windy.
The thing about wind is that it makes a bit of a racket with it's whistling, howling, roaring blustering windiness. We get so used to hearing it that we don't even notice it any more, unless it's a really rumbly, house groaning type of wind in which case we pull all the curtains shut , snuggle down under a blanket and say, "Ooh, hark at that wind. Glad I"m not out in that."
Very rarely we get a day that isn't windy. Guess what? The silence is DEAFENING!
Today was one of those days.
As I walked Velcrodog down the foggy and silent lane we spoke in whispers to each other since the silence was quite intimidating. Speaking in a normal voice felt quite wrong. The atmosphere was one of a doctor's waiting room. What do you mean, what do I mean? Of course the dog and me speak to each other. I'd just be a mad woman with a dog if I walked down the road talking to myself. Well, alright. he doesn't so much speak as look at me and nod sagely as I waffle on about heels, by me's and good boys but it all counts.
So. Moving swiftly on as I've just realised I do sound ever so slightly mad…….
While we were walking I realised that part of the reason I like fog and snow so much is that it muffles sounds and makes everything peaceful, calm and still. That's a real treat these days, a bit of peace and quiet. I hope we get a few more days of it before we return to the howling and blustering.
It's now only a few more sleeps till Boofuls' and my BIG ADVENTURE!!
Just in case you've been on Mars and haven't heard about it – We're off to the Arctic!
Thermal knickers and socks were the order of the day for Christmas presents this year in preparation for the trip. I've even invested in a super duper new camera especially for the trip – a Canon 5D MkIII. OMG!!! (as they txt).
Just for the camera nerds – and I do know there are at least two of you reading this. I used one of these cameras at a freelance wedding job I did last week and it was amazing.
It has an incredibly high ISO of 104,800!!! The wedding shots with ISO of 800 or higher were completely noiseless! (Ok, I know I'm sounding a bit excitable now but I am excitable – and I can't seem to leave the ! key alone!). That means, dear non nerdy readers – and well done for keeping going this far – that I can practically shoot pictures in the dark with little or no noise! Perfect for the Arctic in January and for the much hoped for northern lights. *Thinks* Arctic in January ? Are we totally bonkers?
Gotta go! Gotta pack!

If you had a chance to invest or bet on facts and a chance to invest or bet on emotions, which would you choose?
Most of you would probably say "facts." You might even say you'd be willing to go "all in on the truth."
But that would be a bad bet, because as this election is proving better than anything else America and the entire world really is in one of the all-time deepest bear market for facts. Making matters worse is the fact that almost the entire news media is covering and following this election all wrong, precisely because it's hopelessly unaware of how people are getting their information and making their choices in America today.
The role facts play in both the fortunes of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is not even tenuous; their effect has been relatively zero. How else can you explain a presumptive GOP presidential nomination for Trump, who has no experience in elected office and spews out counterfactual and contradictory statements with regularity? How else can you explain a presumptive Democratic Party presidential nomination for Clinton, who has a long history of policy flip-flops and is currently under FBI investigation in part for her questionable representations in her State Department email scandal?

Huawei PTN Leased Line Solution Performance Evaluation
Publication date:
15 September 2017
Document number:
With telecom carrier networks' evolution to all-IP, service network and network edge client side's migration to be IP-based is accelerating. This trend makes the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) circuit switching technology, which has been used for more than 20 years, to be stretched to its limit. Therefore, the all-IP trend and bandwidth growth requirements are driving end-to-end transport network migration from circuit switching SDH to packet switching Packet-Based Transport Networks (PTN).
Huawei SPTN series' Ethernet Private Line (EPL) leased line service provides a variety of port speeds, adjustable bandwidth granularity, ultra-low delay forwarding, and similar performance as SDH/MSTP devices'. Meanwhile, with GUI-based end-to-end service deployment and maintenance, Huawei PTN products are easy to manage.
Tolly engineers verified that the delay of the EPL service with PTN devices was less than 110μs after 3 hops and less than 220μs after 6 hops for all tested frame sizes. The jitter was less than 1μs after 3 hops and less than 1.5μs after 6 hops for all tested frame sizes. Overall, PTN devices' performance was on the same level as SDH/MSTP devices'.

Professor Philip Cottrell
Emeritus Professor of Financial History, and Honorary Visiting Fellow (1944-2013)
Research Interests
Being concerned with the totality of humankind's daily experience, Economic and Social History is a catholic subject (see the Economic History Society's website). This has led to its practioners employing , collectively, a very wide range of approaches for the discipline's further development. These been have drawn from across the spectrum of the humanities and the social sciences, and have involved the application of both qualitative and quantitative techniques. Due to the intellectual gains that can be made through specialisation, Economic and Social History, like History, has increasingly become an 'umbrella' discipline, with sub-fields comprising each of its connected 'panes'. Throughout my career I have employed the particular viewpoint of History and Economic and Social History offered by finance - money, credit and capital. Financial History is an extremely rich and varied vein of History, directly impinging upon all of its domains, as with: business history, economic history, imperial history, international history, political history and social history. The particular perspective provided by Financial History is, consequently, far from narrow and arcane through giving a whole range of entry points to History and Economic and Social History - from the level of the individual, family and the firm through the community, the region, the national economy and the nation state to the world. If this terse assertion fails to convince, see Y. Cassis and P. L. Cottrell, 'Financial History', Financial History Review , 1.1 (April, 1994), pp. 5-22; where the argument is more developed and, thereby, I hope, is more persuasive. My adoption of Financial History as a research field has led to published studies of: the London capital market's mid-nineteenth century development; Victorian industrial finance; the finance of transport improvement - railways and shipping; British overseas investment; the growth of joint stock banking from at the local level to being nationwide; and the interaction of business, politics and finance in the 'West's' involvement with east central Europe during the interwar period.

Chill Bump – Interview
I had the pleasure of speaking to a the rap duo from Tours (France), Chill Bump. I caught up with beat producer and turntablist Bankal and Mc Miscellaneous to chat about their latest release 'The Loop', their all time favourite rappers and producers, the hip-hop scene in France and their all around love for the genre.
1. Fried – Firstly, How are you guys doing and what are you up to these days. How has 2012 been treating you?
Chill Bump : We're fine thanks. We've been doing a few gigs and chilling recently. 2012 has been very inspiring for us.
2. F – You guys have been releasing a fair amount of music this year. 'The Loop' is your 4th project and by far the most ambitious. How long did the recording process take?
CB – Three of the six songs on this project were made two weeks before we released it. We've been working on the other 3 tracks since september. Some songs take more time to create than others. We also created a few unreleased tracks in the process that didn't fit in with The Loop as a whole. We'll release them sometime soon.
3. Looking forward to those. Miscellaneous, one of your first rhymes on 'The Loop' mentions Nas, Snoop Dogg and Wu-tang as strong influences. Are there any current new Mc's across the pond that have checking out recently?
Yes, I enjoy listening to Kendrick Lamar for his original songs and creative flows. Schoolboy Q is dope too. Action Bronson is sick. Black Milk is nice with the beats and rhymes. I've really enjoyed watching Notes to Self's videos on youtube lately, though I don't quite know if they'll be releasing any material. I've always been a fan of Edan, and legends like Big Pun (RIP) and Big L (RIP).
4. There's something quite comical and playful about some of you imagery and aesthetic that I love. Specially on the video for 'The Eponym'. How did this come about?
We haven't made comical tracks yet but we probably will in the future, because we love to joke around. We love to surprise people with our aesthetic and make them say that they didn't expect us to look like we do. Benoit Dogniez, who made our videos and took our photos, helped us out a great deal. We are getting tired of the stereotypical rapper bullshit. Most rappers are not killers or pimps, but just normal people with rhyming skills and imagination. Get over the myth, please.
5. Defiantly agree on that. Bankal, I can see your beats are very sample heavy – What kind of process to do you go when making them?
It's all about how I feel at the time. I pick a vinyl if the cover inspires me and go through it thoroughly. If a sample suits my mood, I'll use it, cut it up and usually loop it before adding the beat. Once the basic groove has been put together, I let Miscellaneous listen to it. If it inspires him, we'll structure it together and "pimp it".
6. What producers or genres do you guys listen to on a regular basis?
Black Milk, Dj Shadow, Jake One, Dj Premier, J Dilla, Madlib, MF Doom and Stoupe are our rap references. We like lots of other genres such as folk, a little bit of dubstep, dub, rock, afrobeat, abstract hip-hop (and the list goes on).
7. Miscellaneous, as an MC you normally rap in English. Has this always been this way?
I grew up in the UK and started scribbling lyrics when I was 10 years old. I moved to France at 13 and switched to French. Rap music was very popular in France at the time and I thought I'd fit in just fine, but it took me years to realize that it didn't suit me. I sounded too English I guess. I decided to switch back to English when I was about 20 years old and haven't changed since.
8. French hip hop to me has always been very lyrically heavy and street influenced. Classic crews like IAM and and MC Solaar have proven it to be so. How have French hip hop fans been towards your approach to the genre?
The rap scene has always been active in France. It has evolved a lot. There are still a lot of conscious mcs with deep content, but the younger generations are more interested in swag, punchlines and multi syllabics. French hip-hop-heads enjoy our music but what's been very surprising to us, is that even some of the people who don't like rap make up a large portion of our fan-base.
9. We would love to see you guys in London. Any tour dates coming soon?
We would love to come to London. We've just started working with Furax, a french booking agency. We should be touring around France in 2013. Stay tuned though you never know, we might be coming somewhere near you sooner than you think.
10. Awesome. We will be waiting impatiently. And lastly could you guys name me your top 5 albums of this year?
Alt-J – An Awesome Wave
Kendrick Lamar – Good Kid M.A.A.A.D City
Schoolboy Q – Habits & Contradictions
Domo Genesis & The Alchemist – No Idols
Dr Dre – Detox (Laugh).
Its been a real pleasure guys. Thank you guys for your time and we will keep our eyes peeled for your next releases and videos. Check out more about Chill Bump on their sites :

Our pastor mentioned today a book he was writing on preaching. During the course of his research, he has been surprised to discover that the great preachers of the ages agree on the ultimate job of the preacher. I imagine many today would enter long debate regarding the answer to that question. What is a preacher's job?
To teach the scriptures? To explain how to live the Christian life? To counsel the people? To lead? To inspire? To deliver messages from the Lord? To pray?
Well, perhaps a little of all that comes into play, but none of it became the singular focus of the great preachers –nor of my pastor himself. His conclusion:
The preacher's job is to bring people into the presence of God.
This morning, as he said it, I realized that's my job, too. I could see it in my mind's eye: through the course of a story, I bring people into moments where the Holy Spirit can speak to their hearts. Again and again, here and there, with different moments for different readers or watchers or hearers, the voice of God will speak. The heart of God will touch theirs. The call of God will echo in their ears.
Come to Me, you who are weary and heavy-laden.
Come to Me, you who are thirsty.
Come to Me, you who long for love and meaning.
Come to Me, you broken-hearted, you desperate, you sick and dying.
And I shall give you rest. And healing. And wholeness. And I'll pour out My love upon you, filling you until every human sense you have is tingling, ringing, pulsing, savoring the manifestations of it. Until you laugh and sing and dance with the overflow of it.
Let the glory of the Lord fill the earth! Let His love call ring out through the atmosphere. Let His beauty shine through in every line of my art, every word of my stories, through the faces of the actors and actresses that play the parts, and through the unsaid words that will speak to hearts in silent plea: Come to Me.
Yeah, I wanna be a part of that!

The new rules for conversion of foreign currencies into Czech Crowns applicable for the Intrastat reporting were introduced in the Czech Republic with the effective date of 29 July 2016.
According to the new rules, the same exchange rate as applicable for VAT purposes should be used for conversion of foreign currencies into Czech Crowns as well as for the Intrastat reporting. This means that the exchange rate published by the Czech National Bank (or European Central Bank) as of the date when the obligation to report the acquisition or dispatch of goods arose; i.e. as of the date when the invoice was issued or as of the 15th day following the end of the month in which the goods were acquired or dispatched, whichever occurs first.
These new rules should be applied for the first time for the August 2016 Intrastat report.
