WAY cute teapot. Does the ropof come off for filling?
By: Laurie Ryan on February 1, 2018 at 9:46 am
Yes. It does. the back is cute, too. My friend's brother passed away and when they were clearing out his stuff, this was a tea pot his first wife had (who had passed away a long time ago) and his widow didn't want to keep it- My friend knew I liked tea so she claimed it and gave it to me as part of my Christmas present. It is definitely a treasure. Lots of love and meaning to me.
By: Author on February 1, 2018 at 10:02 am
It's lovely, and what a lovely token for your sister-in-law to give to you.I have two house teapots myself.One is a two-cup at best, though.
By: Tonette Joyce on February 1, 2018 at 12:25 pm
Not my sister in law. My friend whoâs brother passed away. It was his and his wife let her take it for me. I think itâs lovely.

That's what I get for reading too quickly; I'm sorry. I only saw "Brother". I'm glad that you didn't lose a brother.
By: Tonette Joyce on February 2, 2018 at 12:26 pm
Thanks. Me, too. I donât have one so that would be a weird feat. 🙂

How to Restore WhatsApp chats from Google Drive backup on an iPhone? [Solved]
If you follow all these steps correctly, your chats and media files will appear on your iPhone like the way they were appearing on your Android device. You don't have to root your Android device and jailbreak your iPhone for this. But I may remind you that it is a shareware tool. If you don't want to use such tools and you only need selected WhatsApp messages from certain contacts just for archiving purposes, you can email the WhatsApp chats to your email. The only disadvantage of this method is that your chats will not display on the Whatsapp of your iPhone. Anyway, follow the steps below to email your WhatsApp chats to your email address:
- Open the chat for the individual or group that you'd like to email.
- Tap the Menu Button.
- Tap More.
- Tap Email chat
- Choose whether you would like to attach the media files or not.
An email will be sent with your chat history attached as a .txt (text) document. You can download the attached file on your phone or computer. Source: WhatsApp FAQ - Saving your chat history
Method to restore WhatsApp chats from Google Drive backup on an iPhone?
This isn't possible for now on the iPhone. There is no option to restore chats from the Google drive to iPhone.
Update: I followed this link as advised by Kenneth Graham in one of the answers below and I successfully restored WhatsApp messages from the Google drive to my new iPhone. It works without the root. I hope this will help you guys.
Or maybe this works, give a try:
Connect your iPhone via USB to the PC. Because you've already downloaded WhatsApp onto your new handset, the folder "WhatsApp / Databases" should now exist. If not, you can manually create a new "Databases" folder in the "WhatsApp" folder yourself.
Copy your WhatsApp conversation backup file into that folder.
Now start WhatsApp on your iPhone and verify your phone number. You should now get a notification that a message backup was found. Just tap "Restore", and you're done. After a few seconds, all of your messages should have safely returned.
If this is too complicated for you or you would prefer some easier and safer way to restore the WhatsApp folder, you can Google FonePaw iPhone Data Recovery. So this would be my only suggestion.

When operating low cost autonomous vehicles, we are often faced with the need to apply integro-differential operators to numerical sequences. The need may arise in many different contexts, from vehicle navigation to data collection/estimation, and is strongly reinforced by constraints to the number of deployable sensors. Integration and, particularly, differentiation of discrete data sequences are, however, error prone operations. Even in the absence of noise, the traditional approaches introduce distortions and artifacts in the output data, mostly due to the mismatch between their underlying polynomial model and the spectral contents of the collected data. This article presents an alternative way to apply integro-differential operators to discrete data streams. The operators are applied in a strictly band-limited way, in both time and frequency, and no extraneous artifacts are introduced in the data. No assumptions or models are used, other than assuming that the original data stream was correctly sampled. As such, the procedure can be safely applied to data streams sampled at rates close to Nyquist, without the usual performance degradation.

Asian Sweet & Spicy Chicken
Asian Sweet & Spicy Chicken is amazing! You simply let the chicken marinate for a couple of hours or overnight, bake and cover it with the yummy sweet & spicy sauce!
This is the kind of recipe that you experiment with to your own taste. Some people like these really spicy and some like them sweet like Teriyaki sauce.
I served it with Portuguese Rice and grilled Asparagus! It was a big hit! Try it and Enjoy!
4 pounds of chicken drumsticks and thighs or wings
1 cup of soy sauce
1/2 cup of red wine vinegar
1/4 cup of brown sugar
3 tablespoons of olive oil
6 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons of fresh ginger (minced)
2 scallions (sliced)
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1 tablespoon of crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon of piri piri sauce
1 tablespoon Corn starch
Place the chicken in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl mix all of the remaining ingredients except cornstarch until very well incorporated.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and let it marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat oven to 400. Remove the chicken from the bowl and place in a very well greased flat tray. Reserve the marinade. Cook for 1 hour turning over once.
Cook the leftover marinade in a small pan on low heat for at least 10 minutes to reduce and cook. Taste and add more soy sauce and red pepper flakes if you like it spicier.
To create thicker sauce simply add the corn starch mixed with a little water to the sauce and let it reduce and thicken. You can also make this sweeter by adding a little honey or more brown sugar. The longer it cooks, the thicker it will get.
Asparagus is easy to cook in just a few minutes right in your skillet. Just add 1 – 2 tablespoons of olive oil, depending on how much asparagus you have. Add salt and pepper and cook on low – medium heat.
Cover the pan, and toss the asparagus gently as it cooks for about 5 minutes. Add a little more olive oil if needed.
Turn off the heat and leave it covered. It will continue to cook and keep warm.

There are three main reasons why trapping does not work: the vacuum effect, the availability of resources, and nature's ability to adapt.
Trapping and removal of wildlife has proven to be ineffective. One of the main reasons is called the vacuum effect, which is simply when you remove an animal, then the next night another animal takes its place.
A 20-year study of urban coyotes by The Ohio State University of the Chicago area in Cook County, Illinois demonstrates the effect of removal of wildlife.
The availability of resources is another reason wildlife may be in your neighborhood. Arlington has a very healthy urban ecosystem. Not only do parks, streams, and greenbelts make great habitat, but some backyards do too. Areas underneath sheds, decks, or brush make great homes for many of our wild neighbors. Bird feeders, uncovered trash, vegetable gardens, or pet food that has been left outside provide food for many species.
Research has found that wildlife will adapt when resources are available in a habitat. Litters are bigger, more of the offspring survive, and the numbers return to normal within a year or less.
"Wild Furbearer Conservation and Management in North America (Novak et al, 1987) provides data demonstrating that when raccoons exhibit low reproductive rates, as much as 49% of the population can be trapped out and they will rebound back to their former level by the next breeding season. When raccoons exhibit high reproductive rates (typical with an ongoing trapping program), as much as 59% of the population can be trapped out and the population will replace itself by the next birthing season. A similar scenario has been observed among coyotes and groundhogs."

A day before he left for a family holiday in Hawaii, President Obama approved the 14th unilateral change in the Affordable Care Act.
Kind of makes you wonder why Congress even bothers showing up for work any more. Why pass laws if the president can then pick and choose which sections will be implemented — or not.
Last week, knowing that millions of Americans were faced with the cancellations of their policies because they didn't comply with the law, the Obama administration simply changed the law — at least for another year. So those who have had their individual plans cancelled or can't afford a higher priced substitute policy will be allowed to either buy catastrophic coverage (usually only available to those under the age of 30) or get a hardship exemption and, therefore, face no penalty for not having insurance.
Now if that sounds confusing to us, we're not alone.
"This latest rule change could cause significant instability in the marketplace and lead to further confusion and disruption for consumers," said Karen M. Ignagni, president of America's Health Insurance Plans, which has been scrambling since the new policy was dumped on them last week to wrestle with its consequences.
Yes this merry little present from your friends at the White House may or may not accomplish much in the end. But what it is intended to do is bail out Democrats in Congress who are on the front-lines of voter wrath.
It's no accident that the change in policy was first announced by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in a letter to Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and five other senators before being confirmed by Obama himself.
With 14 changes and counting, the president is beginning to make the case for repeal look ever stronger.

The rig: Inspect your rig for weak points. Rigging redundancy, such as an inner forestay and running backstays, may save you from a dismasting. External chainplates are strongest and easily inspected. Mast steps were a lifesaver on this passage.
Self-steering: A windvane is most dependable and powerful. Add a tillerpilot for light winds and motoring. Experiment with sheet-to-tiller self-steering for a backup.
Electrical: Fewer electronic gadgets mean more trouble-free passages. Only our GPS, VHF, and SSB receiver are mandatory. A 200- to 400-amp-hour battery bank with one or two 50-watt solar panels suits our needs.
Fresh water: We don't begin a long passage with less than 40 gallons per person in tanks and containers. To top off tanks on a small boat, catching rainwater on deck or in awnings and a large storage capacity works best.
Ground tackle: On a Triton-size cruiser, I like a heavy anchor, such as a 33-pound Bruce, on at least 100 feet of 5/16-inch chain with a nylon extension. We carry three secondary anchors (a 20-pound Danforth, a 15-pound Fortress, and a 21-pound storm Fortress), each with 25 feet of chain and 100 feet of nylon rode, ready to deploy. A manual windlass is useful.
Dinghy: Inflatables are unsuitable for my needs. Desirable rigid-dinghy characteristics include easy rowability (so you won't need an outboard), a flat bottom aft for stability, built-in flotation (so it can serve as a life raft), chafe guard on the bow and transom (so you can deploy and retrieve a second anchor), and a length around 7 feet (so it will fit between the mast and the bow cleat).
Galley: A gimballed one- or two-burner kerosene or propane stove with high railings for full-size pots is adequate. An oven can be fashioned from a heavy aluminum pot set on the stovetop and wrapped in aluminum foil. A foot pump at the sink is best. Don't even think about refrigeration.
Comforts: I won't sleep far from instant access to the cockpit; two full bunks with lee cloths in the saloon is ideal. We use a solar-shower bag hung over the cockpit, topped up with stove-heated water on cold days. A cockpit dodger, bimini, awning, and hook-and-loop mozzie screens over all hatches are required equipment aboard Atom.
Safety: Instead of relying on man-overboard systems and luck, we wear safety harnesses at all times offshore. Thorough boat preparation and route planning are more of a requirement than a rescue beacon. There is some risk in crossing oceans in a small boat that we accept in return for self-reliance.

For most analysts and watchers of Pakistan, the appointment of General Raheel Sharif as head of the Saudi-led military coalition continues to be shrouded in mystery. They either see little progress since the announcement or cannot comprehend what it really entails.
Despite the skepticism, General Sharif heading the 39-nation Islamic Military Alliance to Fight Terrorism (IMAFT) is being seen as a step in the right direction. Observers believe this has been in the works for some time and that Pakistan, despite occasional turbulence in its relations with the Arab world, continues to be in the scheme of things, definitely at a military level.
Arshi Saleem, a leading security analyst in Pakistan, says the announcement generated a lot of discussion and debate in the country. "It is still not confirmed because the way system works here, his appointment needs to be endorsed by the government,", she says.
According to her, the government's still sees it as a proposal and will decide keeping in view the best interest of the country. Anyways, there has been no official statement on his appointment from the military sources.
Army protocol
"Once a military official retires there is a certain period during which he cannot accept any position because of the sensitivity attached to his work. Especially being army chief, he is privy to a lot of state information related to security," says Saleem.
According to her, it is still not clear whether this would be more of an advisory and planning position or actually commanding forces on the ground. "It seems if at all he accepts the position, it may be more of an adviser than commander leading the forces," she says.
Kamran Bokhari, Senior Fellow with the Center for Global Policy and Fellow with the Program on Extremism with George Washington University, admits there is very little in the way of available details. "It is very difficult to say with any degree of certainty beyond some basic geopolitical realities that are shaping this," he says.
According to him, either way there are limits to how far Islamabad is willing to be part of this venture. "At best the Pakistanis are willing to offer retired personnel. Gen Sharif is also the most popular general that the Pak army has produced in decades, which means his decision to lead this military alliance will not be as controversial on the home front," says Bokhari.
Work in progress
Defense analyst Awad Mustafa chooses to look beneath the headlines. He says the alliance against terrorism has been built on the 2015 plan to create an Arab League quick intervention force also dubbed as the "Arab NATO".
"The Arab NATO plan was set to be an air, naval and land operation force large enough to intervene in major operations but also specialized enough to conduct special operations tasks against terrorist organizations", says Mustafa.
According to him, Sharif's appointment is the first key step to establishing the force and establishing the communication format between all the members. "Currently the only members experienced in coalition combat would be the GCC states. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE have all been working together in Yemen and regularly exercise as well," he says.
This is also not the first effort at coalition-building in this part of the world. The Northern Thunder exercise, for instance, brought forces from Turkey, Sudan, Jordan and other members establishing a link between their forces.
By the look of things, Gen Sharif would have to build on this platform but also build a political structure to facilitate future operations.
"Gen Sharif's experience in the provision of unconventional warfare training to the Pakistani forces - shown by the counter-insurgency operations he led against Tehrik-i-Taliban (Pakistani Taliban) militants - is a clear example of his leadership prowess and why he is the right choice to set up the IMAFT structure," says Mustafa.
A strategic relationship
Riad Kahwaji, Founder/CEO, Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis (INEGMA), says Sharif's pick will possibly get Pakistan more involved in this coalition. This is where geo-strategic realities begin to surface and probably also explains the slow progres.
"Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have a long-term strategic relationship on many levels and this coalition will be another pillar solidifying their partnership," he says.
According to him, Pakistan being the only Muslim nuclear power, makes a logical choice to provide the founding leadership of this coalition, which so far remains a virtual alliance. "We have seen so far declaration of intent to form this entity and heard others interested in joining. Now it is time to see it come together," he says.
Kahwaji believes that, at this stage, General Sharif will have to lay out the military strategies and the process of establishing the coalition's command and structure.
"More important is to see the financial backing and the seriousness of the member states to contribute manpower and resources necessary to create the co-called Muslim NATO," says Kahwaji.
The quartet?
The move is also being positively viewed in Turkey, which is being forced into conflicts in the Middle East. This also adds another layer to the posibilities such alliances may throw up.
Dr. Mehmet Seyfettin Erol, President of Ankara Center for Crisis and Policy Studies (ANKASAM), says the appointment is not only the result of a cooperation in the context of Saudi Arabia-Pakistan but can also be considered a common step of the "Islamic Alliance Against Terrorism" consisting of 34 countries including Turkey.
"With this step, significant progress has been made in terms of the "Islamic Army Coalition" declared on December 16, 2015.
More concretely, this development points to ongoing decisiveness in the context of the institutionalization of the Islamic Army decided to be formed as a result of a common will and its transformation into a more deterrent force," he says.
Dr. Mehmet maintains that global and regional developments give rise to a security-based regional Muslim NATO in the Islamic world. "The Islamic world has to cooperate with each other because of multidimensional common threats."
In making this case, Dr. Mehmet adds another dimension to the entire debate. "The coalition under the quartet leadership of Turkey-Saudi Arabia-Pakistan (along with active engagement of Egypt) should be viewed as a global opportunity in terms of regional and global stability, peace and security".
Whether there are takers for such a formula remains to be seen.

Sometimes you stumble upon something that changes the way you do Sundays. Described by Harry aka that Midland DJ chap as "a true Sunday institution because of one simple thing; a deep love and knowledge of music and above all the joy of sharing it with friends old and new," Chris & Dom's Sunday Almanac began in a pub here in Brighton back in 2014. It went on to make friends and influence people until lockdown when the boys decided to take it to a certain streaming service with a live playlist curation. The resulting online social media love-in has rescued our lockdown weekends and we are so chuffed to have Chris Goddard and Dom Agius deliver some of their Almanac magic to our 1BTN show. Reflecting their astonishing ability to genre hop for their lives – when asked what kind of stuff they play, they answered anything from Fleetwood Mac followed by Blossom Dearie, Marie Davison followed by Tantra and Kraftwerk – Chris and Dom are providing the LGBTQI+ community a musical space so cherished it was declared "an enlightenment & ignition of musical memoirs, a constant excitement and wonder of what is to come" by Frankie Salt recently. A space we can't wait to celebrate this Friday on 1BTN.
But before we get to share Chris & Dom's divine and diverse selections this Friday on 1BTN how about they tell the tale of their Sunday Almanac? Just how did it come to be more than the soundest of daydreams?
"How to sum up 7 years of Almanacs?" say Chris Goddard virtually one day in lockdown as we counted down the days till we could play records to humans again. "Impossible really but on the 26th January 2014 at 2pm sharp we, rather nervously, launched the first Sunday Almanac at the St. Georges Inn, Brighton. Ever since Dom had moved to the coast we had been plotting and planning to do something musical together. Dom had been hosting a similar event in London and I had been doing regular slots in pubs around Brighton, so combining our talents made perfect sense".
"We met up at the pub early in December 2003 and the penny dropped – it seemed a perfect space – tucked away in the side streets of Kemptown, two bars, an outside area and a lovely vibe. Dom approached the landlord at the time and made a proposal to him – that we would love to play records on a Sunday, once a month – he needed us, he said. We initially did it for a couple of drinks and a nominal fee. Once we'd begun, something clicked, it felt so right".
"Once we'd done the first one it became clear that we needed a 'brand' – not a daft name but something more classy. Dom is an exceptional photographer with a massive amount of archived photos our artwork was easy,however, we wanted it to be uniform, recognisable and distinctive. Each of the 100 images reflects the mood, each with our own Almanac Font and produced on 12" x 12" card like one's very own LP – we are thrilled to see the ripped from the walls and tucked under arms once an Almanac has finished. We also felt it important to document what we played so make sure we write everything down and post the track listings as an aid-memoir and, when Spotify happened, have posted all of the playlists from all of the Almanacs. It feels like a full-stop and we can then move on to the next event. It quickly became something to really look forward to and as we gathered momentum, recruited some more supporters and carried friends and family along with us".
"It's been just over 7 years since it started and despite lockdown, we've continued to play music and have now done 102 Almanacs. Each one has had a different complexion and appeal – as the Almanacs have progressed we've become better too – taking more risks, dedicating & theming sets and introducing the idea of a guest DJ – where our friends can play any records that they fancy & I KNOW how excited they have all been. Dom and I began 'battling' early on, trying to catch each other out whilst maintaining the thrill and watching the crowd. The Battles have caused much hilarity, CD's strewn everywhere, one or two shots or Tuaca and plenty of sweat and occasional tears".
"So, the Almanac stands for somewhere that anyone is welcome, sit and listen to our tunes in a safe LGBT+, dog friendly, non-discriminatory space for people who love meeting other people for a laugh, a gossip a sing-a-long and a dance. All on a Sunday afternoon (someone described it as the best Secret Disco Ever). Lockdown has taught us how important these fortnightly sessions have become to people". A secret we intend to share with your dear listener this Friday on 1BTN.

AUSSIE Pavlova
A classic, crowd pleasing recipe taken from the legendary Margaret Fulton Cookbook. This was my first cookbook and was given to me by my grandmother in the 1980's. I still use the book often for classic, comfort food. Cheers to Margaret and my lovely Hootenanny.
In the first picture, I used a springform pan to create nice neat even edges. In the second picture I drew a circle using a large dinner plate and created a free-form pavlova for a more rustic appearance.

This morning, Bill and Melinda Gates published their foundation's annual letter, which attempts to debunk commonly held beliefs in development economics.
Quartz caught up with Mr. Gates to talk about the letter, how he's juggling his work at the Gates Foundation with his work at Microsoft, and what else is going on in his life. What follows is a condensed transcript.
Throughout the letter, you talk about countries reaching the point of self-sufficiency. You also predict that there will be almost no more poor (or low-income) countries in the world by 2035. Do you consider these things to be the same? Once a country reaches middle-income status, does it no longer need any foreign aid?
If you have a disaster, of course, people are going to come and help out. And there are still these global public goods, like inventing vaccines—inventing the malaria vaccine, inventing the TB vaccine, inventing the AIDS vaccine. You'll be a huge beneficiary of whatever the rich countries are doing.
You can talk about whether or not the World Bank threshold between low-income and middle-income [currently $1,035 in gross national income per capita] should be moved up a bit. When you get to China's level of wealth, or Brazil's, or Mexico's level of wealth, then clearly you're not going to have systemic yearly aid transfers coming from richer countries. You're going to have to use your own tax-base, including mineral wealth, to create income and education and opportunity so that you cut down poverty in your particular country.
A very high percentage of aid recipients historically, including Korea, are no longer aid recipients. Korea is kind of unusual in that it's made the full progression and is now considered a high-income country. They have a commitment to get their aid budget up over time to 0.5%, which would make them slightly more generous than the European average and quite a bit more generous than the US (at 0.2%).
But except for the bottom of the middle-income category, you typically become self-sufficient. Nigeria has moved into low-middle-income, but their north is very poor and the health care systems there have broken down. India is right on the bottom edge of middle-income, and I'd see us for another decade giving to India, despite it's characterization. If you set the threshold more at like $1,800, then yes, you are self-sufficient.
Also in the letter, you mention "better seeds" as something that will create wealth in poor countries. Are you talking about GMO crops?
A lot of the improved seeds will use GMO techniques as time goes on, as you're looking for really powerful drought-resistance, salt-tolerance, and other things like that. Most of the new seeds that we're doing right now are non-GMO because there's still a lot of room for conventional breeding-type improvements.
It's important that the poor countries that have the toughest time feeding their people have a process, just like they have for medicines. In terms of injecting people and taking drugs, they've done a good job making sure that those things are tested and go through a regulatory approval process. The same type of thing should be true for new food products, no matter what technique is used to create them. There should be an open-mindedness, and if they can specifically prove their safety and benefits, foods should be approved, just like they are in middle-income countries.
Middle-income countries are the biggest users of GMOs. Places like Brazil. Small farmers have gotten soy beans and cotton and things like that. But we're trying to get African agriculture up to high productivity—it's about a third of rich-world productivity right now—and we need the full range of scientific innovation, with really good safety checking, to work on behalf of the poor.
How do you split your time between the foundation and Microsoft?
The foundation is easily two-thirds of my time. I work on weekends, do lots of email…it's pretty much a full time job. I do squeeze in some Microsoft things, helping some of the product groups, and I have some non-Microsoft, non-Foundation things like the nuclear energy company, TerraPower, and some tech-related investments, a number of which are in connection with Nathan Myhrvold, whom I worked with at Microsoft.
Do you have any plans to become more involved with Microsoft?
It will be up to the board as it finishes its process and picks a CEO; I'll talk to the CEO about what he wants. The foundation is still going to be my full-time work, but I'll direct my help to Microsoft according to whether or not the CEO sees that as being useful. There might be an uptick in the first year or two, depending on what they want.
How do you spend whatever time you have left?
Some of my time is spent going down to the Valley to see venture capitalists, and talk about the different things they're doing. I have a particular relationship with Vinod Khosla because he's got a lot of very interesting science-based energy startups. It's always fascinating to see what the different venture companies are seeing as new opportunities.
There are things you might think of as vacation. My son likes to go see mines and electric plants, or the Large Hadron Collider, and we've had a chance to see a lot of interesting stuff. We're going to go down to Los Alamos in the next two months. We've been to a copper mine, we've been to a missile silo. He likes learning along with me.
I know that you're a voracious reader, especially of nonfiction. What are you reading now?
Vaclav Smil keeps turning out amazing books. Making the Modern World, I just finished, and it's pretty fantastic. It's about this idea that we are still using more materials per person, even as advanced economies, though people talk about the dematerialization of steel, the amount of concrete, and other minerals. It's classic Smil: really explaining how steel is improved, how concrete is improved, how you think about maintenance, and recycling, and limits, and what the new advances are. And really, the amazing progression.
The other one that I'm not fully done with is his US manufacturing book. It's another incredible story of why the US dominated manufacturing through basically about 1970 and why it's so important that we retain that. Among other things, it's about how we electrified our industry before anybody else did and it gave us almost double the productivity.
Smil—someday he may quit turning out books. But so far, he really gives me a base understanding of how the world works.

Businesses today – and, by extension, their attorneys – face a complicated dynamic when it comes to social media use. Needless to say, a social media presence has become an essential part of doing business in the digital era for many brands and individuals. But at the same time, the legal risks posed by posting on and engaging with social media have grown and may at times seem unpredictable.
This sense of unpredictability results, at least in part, from the uneasy coexistence of copyright law and social media. The sharing culture established by social media is in significant tension with the regime of property rights established by copyright law, which requires a valid license to copy, publish, or distribute content created by someone else.
This article explores two recent copyright litigation trends resulting from this tension: first, a recent spate of lawsuits claiming the subjects of paparazzi photos who posted the images to Instagram without authorization infringed the owners' copyrights in the photos, and second, recent opinions calling into doubt the legality of "embedding," a widely used technological feature that enables social media posts to be re-shared by other users across platforms.
These litigations make plain the widening gap between social media users' practices of reposting and sharing content, and the copyright law as written and enforced. They also illustrate the dynamic state of the law in this area, as courts grapple with reconciling new technology with well-established copyright principles. Further, these suits highlight the unintentional primacy of Terms of Service agreements in resolving copyright disputes – and may galvanize a necessary re-examination of both those Terms of Service agreements and their role in determining copyright infringement.
Copyright law challenges the easy sharing ethos of social media
Copyright law and social media coexist in a delicate balance. Copyright is grounded in the mechanism of restricting content – by establishing a marketable right in the use of creative expression, copyright law promotes creation and encourages its proliferation. This "engine of free expression" theory of copyright law undergirds much of the law's development and justification.
Social media platforms, and the norms they have inspired, present a unique challenge to copyright law. As scholars have noted – and as any social media user can attest – social media platforms have shifted the consumption habits of today's society from a market culture to a sharing culture by encouraging users to share freely both original and third-party content. Matters are further complicated by the powerful economic incentives that now exist for sharing content on social media – namely, individuals and businesses alike are able to generate advertising revenues from their social media content. This is combined with the fact that social media use is governed by Terms of Service that potentially create licenses for certain kinds of content sharing, but which are rarely read (and often poorly understood), and which even courts can interpret differently, as discussed in further detail below.
Paparazzi suits reflect the tension between copyright law and social media
Since 2017, paparazzi have brought a number of high-profile copyright infringement lawsuits for a seemingly-innocuous use of social media: people, or brands, posting pictures of themselves, their products, or their properties. Specifically, these lawsuits result from individuals or companies reposting photographs without license or authorization from the copyright owner. The list of celebrities and companies subject to these suits is long and expanding, but some notable examples include model Gigi Hadid, who was sued for posting a paparazzi photo of herself without licensing it on her Instagram page; pop singer Katy Perry, whose post of a snapshot of herself donning a Halloween costume landed her in a spooky situation with the paparazzo who took the photo; and fashion brand Marc Jacobs, which used a paparazzi photo of a model wearing a Marc Jacobs sweatshirt to promote its product in a "street-style"-esq Instagram post, only to end up with costly and potentially time-consuming legal proceedings brought by the paparazzo behind the shot.
These suits reveal a fundamental disconnect between copyright law on the books and the practice of content sharing on social media: as counterintuitive as it may seem to non-copyright lawyers, one does not have the right to use a photo simply because it is a photo of oneself or something one makes or owns. This may seem unfair where the original photograph itself has value only because of one's presence in the photo, as is the case with many of the celebrities who have been sued. But the law is clear: the copyright in the photo is held by the individual who took it (at least initially) and it is the author's prerogative to grant authorization – and, likely, demand payment – for any use of the photo, including something as casual as an Instagram post. Moreover, the Copyright Act is a strict liability statute. That means that anyone who violates its bounds, whether innocently or intentionally, is liable for the infringement. This feature of copyright law is all the more dangerous in the internet context, where norms and expectations often do not line up with the letter of the law.
That said, these paparazzi cases have settled outside of court, which may indicate the aversion of the copyright owners to testing the potential implied license and fair use defenses that would almost certainly be mounted.
Embedding disputes highlight the growing importance of social media platforms' Terms of Service
A more legally and technically complex strand in recent copyright litigation centers on the sharing of third-party content using the "embed" feature prevalent across social media. "Embedding" allows an online user to incorporate a work posted on social media without technically copying the image from its source. For years, the presumed legality of this feature has depended on this seemingly minor technological nuance: specifically the fact that, when one embeds content that has been posted online, the content is shared without technically being copied because the content itself remains hosted on the original server. This distinction served as the touchstone in the Ninth Circuit's Perfect 10 v. Amazon.com nc. decision, which established the "server test," according to which direct infringement of the display right requires that a defendant actually host the infringing content on its server.
The server test became the accepted standard and crucially informed the development of embedding technology. Following the widespread adoption by courts of the server rule in the years after Perfect 10, tech companies built their apps and platforms relying on the rule's shield against copyright liability, which allowed them to promote successful models of content distribution and social networking consistent with the server test. In turn, this inevitably led social media users to rely on embedding technologies as well.
Against this backdrop, the 2018 S.D.N.Y. decision in Goldman v. Breitbart News Network LLC, which rejected the Ninth Circuit's server test, stands out as a dramatic reversal, albeit one that some commentators see as more in keeping with the principles of copyright law. Dismissing the technical nuance on which the server test relied, the Goldman court was swayed by the fact that a viewer could see the infringed work without clicking out of the defendant's website.
Following the Goldman decision, the state of the law on embedding is uncertain. First, courts in the Second and Ninth Circuits appear to be split on the issue of whether embedding violates a copyright holder's display right, which creates a difficult situation for tech companies and social media users. Second, two recent cases on the issue in the S.D.N.Y. – McGucken v. Newsweek and Sinclair v. Ziff Davis – reach different results on the legality of embedding based on the courts' interpretations of the Terms of Service of the website at issue.
Implicitly embracing the Goldman court's determination, these cases did not address the server test – which ultimately resulted in a new primacy for Terms of Service agreements. The Sinclair opinion, issued on April 13, 2020, explained that the news site Mashable was not liable for an Instagram embed because the plaintiff-photographer had agreed to Instagram's Terms of Service, and these terms granted a valid sublicense to third parties, such as Mashable. Soon after, on June 1, the McGucken opinion reached the opposite conclusion about Instagram's Terms of Service, announcing that "[a]lthough Instagram's various terms and policies clearly foresee the possibility of entities…using web embeds to share other users' content…none of them expressly grants a sublicense to those who embed publicly posted content." Thus, the McGucken court determined that, at the motion to dismiss stage, it could not find that an implied sublicense existed as a matter of law.
But unlike established legal precedent, Terms of Service are easily alterable by the technology companies who write them, and changes may go unnoticed by users. This element adds a further aspect of volatility to the latest development in embedding case law. That said, on June 4, 2020, mere days after the McGucken decision was announced, Instagram itself entered the fray when it announced that its Terms do not provide users of its embedding API a copyright license to display embedded images on other web sites.
While the law is far from settled on these issues, the moral of the story is clear: before sharing anything on social media, ensure that you are the rights holder, or have a valid license, even if the subject of that post is you or your brand.

|#India, #Assam, #human rights violation, #discrimination, #Muslims, #Dalit, #caste-system, #Human Rights Law Network
|Deniz Zehra Tavli
A 2016 report on caste-based discrimination by the UN special rapporteur on minority issues noted that caste-affected groups continue to suffer exclusion and dehumanization. Such is the case in India, especially in the Assam region close to the border of neighbouring Bangladesh.
Limits on free speech and attacks on religious minorities, often led by vigilante groups that claim to be supporters of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), are an increasing concern in India. Often muslims or Dalit people are targets of violence, exclusion and other severe forms of discrimination.

Epileptics beware.
So Kanye West's video for "All of the Lights" has more than a passing resemblance to the opening credits of Gaspar Noe's "Enter the Void," which was filmed in Japan with several Japanese people in the crew.
Check them out for yourself.
Also, check out an earlier Kanye video that is essentially a set of recreations of scenes from "Akira."

Police Calls | Woman intimidates witness during trial
Richland County Juvenile Court, 411 S. Diamond St., Mansfield - An 18-year-old woman was taken into custody Thursday morning after she intimidated a crime witness testifying against her by taking a picture of her sitting in the courtroom and posting it to social media with an offensive caption. The photograph was shown to Richland County Juvenile Court Judge Ron Spon, who ordered the 18-year-old, who was the defendant in the trial taking place, be taken into custody immediately. Her phone was seized as evidence.
600 block of Straub Road West, Mansfield - A 39-year-old woman overdosed Thursday morning. The man who called police said he was out walking his dog, and when he returned he found the woman unresponsive on the couch. He said the woman has had problems with drugs in the past, but had been clean for a long time. The Mansfield Fire Department transported the woman to OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital. Officers discovered a syringe on the couch and a second syringe in the woman's purse. She was issued a summons for possessing drug abuse instruments and released to the care of hospital staff.
Mansfield - A woman told police Thursday morning her 28-year-old daughter abused her granddaughters, ages 5 and 4. The grandmother said she observed and photographed physical injuries on the girls. The 28-year-old told her mother she was disciplining her children for misbehaving and caused the injuries.
Greenwood Avenue, Mansfield - Officers on Thursday morning stopped a vehicle on an order of confiscation of plates per Bureau of Motor Vehicles records. While two people were being removed from the vehicle, officers found marijuana in the ashtray and syringes in the vehicle. The 34-year-old man and the 26-year-old woman were arrested. While at the jail, a suspected bag of heroin was found on the woman during a body search. Police issued summonses and a citation, and a felony warrant was prepared for one of them. The syringes were disposed of in a container and the plates were removed from the vehicle and submitted to the traffic office.
Mansfield Police Department, 30 N. Diamond St., Mansfield - A search warrant was drafted for items that were seized in reference to a general offense report. The search warrant was presented to Mansfield Municipal Court Judge Frank Ardis at 11:32 p.m. Wednesday for review, and he authorized it and signed the affidavit. The METRICH Enforcement Unit had searched an unspecified property and located drug paraphernalia, miscellaneous personal items and non-scheduled prescription medications. The evidence was photographed by the METRICH Unit and the evidence collected and submitted to the Mansfield Police Department crime laboratory for analysis and safekeeping.
100 block of West First Street, Mansfield - A man told police someone forced entry through his front door and stole a Game Boy and a portable cellphone charger while he was at work Wednesday night or Thursday morning. He found tracks in the snow leading to his neighbor's house, so officers received permission to search the residence. They found the stolen property in the bedroom of a 35-year-old man who lives in the residence. Officers contacted the 35-year-old's girlfriend, but she said she was not him with him the previous night and didn't know anything about the incident.
800 block of Grace Street, Mansfield - Police issued a summons to a 14-year-old male Wednesday.
600 block of South Main Street, Mansfield - Officers on Wednesday night stopped a vehicle for failure to display lights and saw a 16-year-old boy smoking a cigarette. He was issued a summons and transported to his mother's house.
The News Journal does not identify people charged with misdemeanor offenses in the Police Calls. This is a fairness issue related to the large number of incidents that we cannot report in the wide geographic area being covered. Offenders are identified through subsequent court listings.

As a social scientist, I use the tools and theories of anthropology to examine social inequalities and inform attempts to address them. I believe anthropology's strength lies in its attention to the lived human experience, and I work alongside local professionals in southern Africa who are working to improve governance and livelihoods in their own countries.
My research focuses on understanding the reproduction of social inequalities in institutions such as the state and international development organizations. In both Angola and Zambia, my research follows professionals as they work to democratize and develop their societies despite steep local and global inequalities.
From this research, I have published a book and several articles on Angolan development professionals in an international good governance program. I have recently begun a new project with Zambian planning and transportation officials.
One of my most recent publications is my new book, Implementing Inequality: The Invisible Labor of International Development.
A result of my research in Angola, this book explores the international development industry's internal social dynamics and, in particular, how they unintentionally reproduce the global inequalities they set out to address.
When I am not in Angola or Zambia, I am in Central New York teaching on the shores of Lake Ontario at SUNY Oswego, where I am an Assistant Professor of Anthropology. My courses include those that introduce students to cultural anthropology and advanced courses deepening their knowledge of the field and the anthropology of Africa. I live in Syracuse with my husband and three children.

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – Lake Mary police have released the arrest report for the man accused of firing a gun into George Zimmerman's truck, detailing the "fixation" police say the man has with Zimmerman.
Matthew Apperson turned himself in to authorities Friday and was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and firing a deadly missile into an occupied conveyance, an arrest report said.
Apperson posted bail and was released Saturday, according to the Seminole County Jail.
In Apperson's arrest report, which Local 6 obtained from the Seminole County Clerk of Courts, a Lake Mary police officer wrote, "During the investigation, I learned that Apperson has exhibited unusual behavior in which he had recently been admitted to a mental institution. It appears that Apperson has a fixation on Zimmerman and has displayed some signs of paranoia, anxiety, and bipolar disorder."
A Lake Mary Police spokesperson said the information came from family and friends but was not independently verified.
Apperson did not answer the door at his Winter Springs home Monday afternoon when Local 6 knocked seeking comment.
Mark Nejame, Apperson's former attorney, said he's referring Apperson's case to a colleague within his office and that he did not believe Apperson's mental health history should be publicly released.
Don West, George Zimmerman's attorney, said the information will help give Zimmerman more credibility with the general public.
"There wasn't much explanation of Mr. Apperson's conduct that made sense, the way that Mr. Zimmerman described it," said West. "If he does have some mental issues I think that might very well go a long way in explaining what was otherwise very bizarre yet very violent behavior."
Apperson had his first appearance on Saturday and was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery and firing a missile into a vehicle. His bond was set at $35,000. He must turn in all weapons to Seminole County Sheriff's office, and have no contact with Zimmerman.
Judge Rudsill said that there is no GPS monitoring required because George Zimmerman does not want anyone to know his whereabouts.
"I don't care if you have been shopping at Publix for two hours, and have a full cart of groceries or whatever, if you see Mr Zimmerman walking through the door, you are the one who has to leave," Rudsill said.
Apperson bonded out of the Seminole County Jail in Sanford around 2:35 p.m on Saturday. He had no comment.
His arraignment will be June 23 with Judge Debra Nelson, the same judge that presided over the Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin trial.
A Lake Mary police spokesperson said it's now up to the state attorney's office to file charges after a thorough investigation that will likely include verifying Apperson's mental health history.
When Local 6 asked police why Apperson was allowed to have a loaded gun in his car if he was admitted to a mental health facility, Lake Mary Police spokesperson Bianca Gillett said,if law enforcement wasn't involved in getting Apperson to the mental health facility, law enforcement wouldn't have known he'd been there. Gillett said the facility cannot report the visit because of patient confidentiality rules.
Zimmerman wasn't hit by the bullet, but he was hit by glass and shrapnel. He was checked out at a hospital, but is expected to be OK.
Apperson's mother and his wife both emerged from the Lake Mary Police Department Friday after answering investigators' questions about the shooting.
Apperson said he shot at Zimmerman's SUV out of a fear for his life after Zimmerman waved a gun at him.
Zimmerman denies the claims, and he wants to press charges against Apperson.
Apperson's mother, Janet White, wouldn't tell Local 6 what investigators asked her about.
Her attorney, Lyle Mazin, told Local 6 she is very frightened.
"Her feeling is the feeling of any other mother that would be in the situation," Mazin said. "She's petrified. No one wants their son to be in a situation like this."
About an hour after his mother left the police department, Local 6 watched as Apperson's wife, Liza, left with her attorney.
Her attorney, Whitney Boan, said they worked to show Apperson was a nice man.
"This has given them an opportunity to see that he's a nice man," she said. "He's got a family and a wife who support him. And that's what I feel we've accomplished today."
Apperson's attorney at the time of his arrest, Mark NeJame, told Local 6 he's still not sure Apperson will make a statement in the investigation, even though Zimmerman made one on Wednesday.
His wife's attorney said she hopes everything will stop right here.
"Obviously, this is a really tense situation for everybody, but the family is cooperating, and we're hoping that justice will be served in terms of -- that he will not be charged. That's our hope," she said.
Apperson's lawyer released a statement Friday evening, reading in part:
"We expected this as Mr. Apperson, under the advice of counsel and exercising his Constitutional right did not provide additional statements to law enforcement. He had already made statements and this is deemed sufficient, as of now. Mr. Zimmerman apparently did make statements and as such, it appears a decision was made to arrest on the basis of Mr. Zimmerman's statements. That is neither unusual nor was it unexpected.
"The case will proceed through the criminal justice system appropriately and ultimately a determination will be made as what truly happened. Mr. Apperson will continue not to comment until such time as it may be deemed appropriate."

As the U.S. Surgeon General, it's Vivek Murthy's responsibility to provide Americans with the best information for maximizing their heath in every way. That's exactly why Murthy has made emotional well-being a priority during his tenure.
In a recent conversation with HuffPost editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington, Murthy explained how nutrition and exercise are "two critical pillars" when it comes to wellness. But the third pillar of the equation, he added, involves mental health.
"Emotional well-being is more than the absence of a mental illness," Murthy said. "It's that resource within each of us which allows us to reach ever closer to our full potential, and which also enables us to be resilient in the face of adversity."
As more research is conducted on emotional well-being, the more its "significant impacts" are realized on the risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other neurological conditions, he said.
"So this is why I have been focusing on emotional well-being because I believe that it is the fuel that makes everything else possible," Murthy said.
Murthy and Huffington also spoke about the importance of rest. Many people view sleep as a luxury instead of a "biological necessity," Murthy said. He explained how a lack of sleep is associated with health complications like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression and mood disturbances.
"What you quickly realize once you commit to getting more sleep is it can increase your productivity, it can improve your mood," Murthy said. "And that doesn't just help you at work, but it helps you be the kind of person you want to be with your family and your friends and that's ultimately what matters most."
Take a look at the video above for more from their conversation.

Coming off my football portraits last week, I have been pushing onward with the start of fall sports. It is nice to be busy again here at the paper. I'm looking forward to what comes next. I found out that I have been featured on the blog of a new up and coming fly fishing magazine called The Flyfish Journal. You can find the link here. The magazine is set to be on news stands throughout the states at the end of September and I will have numerous fly fishing photographs from my travels in South America expedition featured in their inaugural issue. Feel free to let them know what you think of my work. Best, -M
Well after a long summer, football season has finally arrived. Things are starting to get busy around the paper with the dawn of the new school year. Prep sports are getting underway and my newspaper, like so many others, does an annual prep football preview section to ring in the new season. I was assigned to shoot portraits of the new guys filling in the empty positions on varsity. I have been shooting nothing but portraits all week. Actually a fun change of pace for me. The last two are from another story about die-hard pro football fans. Getting ready for some football. Go Bears!
I have always been a huge live music fan. As a high school student growing up in Chicago, there wasn't a summer weekend when I wasn't seeing a band in the city. Still to this day, I am consistantly watching my radar of when the next good band comes to town in anticipation of seeing them. So when our Daily Republic Tailwind editor Nick DeCicco approached me about trying to get press passes to this year's Outside Lands Music Festival, I was all about it. Getting them wasn't a guarantee, but it was worth a shot.
About two weeks before the show, we got the word that we had been approved and we started making our plans for the three day show. I have shot a couple big concerts before but nothing of this magnitude. So when I arrived after navigating the BART system, it took me a while to take it all in. The festival consisted of five music stages scattered throughout Golden Gate Park in downtown San Francisco. I wanted to show a variety of the acts that would be performing so Nick and I roughly planned out which acts we wanted to see and have me photograph. The festival organizers were very helpful towards the press, extending complementry food and beer but very firm in their rules when it came to shooting the musicians. Every band was accessible to shoot during their performance but the photographers would only have access to the front photo pit (infront of the audience front row seating) for the first three songs of a set. This was awesome and at the same time could be frustrating. Because of the very short amount of time, I had to join the scrum of photographers shooting frantically and try to get as many usable images as possible. Your constantly shooting, moving around, dodging other shooters and fighting for a good shooting angle. It was chaos but a hell of a lot of fun to be apart of. There is something to be said of experiencing a concert inches from the band members performing on stage. The festival was a gathering for celebration and it provided an endless supply of enthusiastic people and good photo opportunities. It was an experience I won't soon forget. -Mike
