Cut Costs with Solar Power and Join the New American Energy Revolution!
Is Your Facility Energy-Intensive? Cut Costs Immediately with Solar Power
Did you know that the cost of solar has dropped 80% during the past five years? Solar is no longer a fringe market. In fact, many Fortune 500 companies are going solar. If your industrial operation is energy intensive, contact us today and we'll help determine if installing solar makes economic sense for your business. In the Northeast, where we have the highest electricity prices in the country, more and more manufacturing enterprises are going solar. With our highly competetive solar Power Purchase Agreement option, we can cut your electricity costs by 20% in year one.
Numerous states such as Connecticut, New Jersey and Rhode Island, have additional subsidies and some property owners may also take advantage of the federal solar investment tax credit.
Go Solar with No Debt or Cash Investment! – 100% Off-Balance Sheet Financing
MSL Group provides off-balance sheet financing solutions for commercial and industrial clients who wish to go solar, but do not want to finance the project with either cash or debt.
With our solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), property owners sign a 20-year contract. We design and install a solar array on your property and then sell the electricity to you at a rate which is 20% – 30% lower than what you would pay your electric utility. We finance, build, insure and maintain the system on your roof during the contract period, so the process is hassle-free.
Our solar PPA allows property owners to reduce operating costs, improve environmental sustainability and hedge against unexpected spikes in electricity prices. Contact Scott Licamele at Ext. 277 for more information.
What financing options are available? If a property owner finances their solar project with cash or debt, they qualify for a 30% federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation on 85% of the project cost. If an owner prefers not to incur any up-front costs or debt, our Power Purchase Agreement is a terrific option, which allows the owner to install solar with no up-front costs and buy clean energy at a significant discount to the prevailing market rate for electricity.

A note on pricing interest rate derivatives when forward LIBOR rates are lognormal
We derive the closed form pricing formulae for contracts written on zero coupon bonds for the lognormal forward LIBOR rates. The method is purely probabilistic in contrast with the earlier results obtained by Miltersen et al. (1997).

Thomas F. Gleason ()
Electronic discovery in an average case can be a hit-and-miss affair. The served demands usually are pretty broad, but the actual production often is limited by practical concerns and agreements between counsel. The hope, and sometimes unmet expectation, is that any failures to disclose in this process are by accident.
Emails have become an especially important part of this e-discovery because of their tendency to illuminate the state of the contemporaneous mind. They often display a candor unlike other forms of communication, and for this reason they sometimes are deleted, stored or sent on a non-work account, or unfortunately not produced at all, if especially damaging. And yet they may tell a compelling story in a few words, as was said in New Jersey: "[t]ime for some traffic problems in Fort Lee." That email says more than a thousand-page deposition. (See "A Bridge to Scandal: Behind the Fort Lee Ruse," New York Times, Jan. 12, 2014.)
A countermeasure for non-production is aggressive e-discovery, but that is really expensive. Instead, it often is far easier to seek copies of emails or documents from others in the email traffic chain, including non-parties involved in transactions or events. The mere possibility of this production may have an important prophylactic effect, because the knowledge that an electronic copy of an email or document is "out there" may enhance the odds of production.
The problem is that electronic discovery requests can be a burden on third parties, who understandably may object to such requests, reasoning that the parties should be burdened first. How can we balance this reasonable concern with the need to obtain evidence which otherwise may not come to light?
This balance of interests does not require a blanket rule that third-party motions to quash be granted, simply for the reason that the disclosure may be obtainable elsewhere, such as from a party. If that is to be the rule, the risk of nondisclosure of emails will certainly increase, as the parties would be cut off from using third-party disclosure to be sure that party disclosure was complete.
In instances where the risk of nondisclosure is great and where the possible non-disclosed information could be determinative in the litigation, a blanket rule which provides for the automatic grant of a third party's motion to quash on the sole basis that disclosure may be obtainable elsewhere would seem inappropriate. This is especially true in instances in which the burden of disclosure on the third party is not a matter of great trouble or expense. Unfortunately, numerous cases appear to adopt this blanket approach.1
Standards in Departments
These cases rely on the wording of paragraph 4 of CPLR 3101(a), and hold that it is not sufficient to show that the requested information is "material and necessary" to the prosecution or defense of a case, which is the standard for party disclosure. Except in the Fourth Department,2 third-party disclosure requires more than merely showing that the information is "material and necessary" because of CPLR 3101(a)(4), which allows for discovery from third parties "…upon notice stating the circumstances or reasons such disclosure is sought or required."
This language dates to 1984, when the Legislature eliminated the requirement that the court authorize the third-party subpoena, and deleted language that allowed the third-party disclosure only on a showing of "adequate special circumstances."3 Both of these changes were intended to ease third-party disclosure, and the "special circumstances" language was replaced by a mere statement of the reason for the subpoena, rather than a formal standard to be met.
Nevertheless, the special circumstances standard has maintained its influence in the First, Second and Third Departments. Despite the First Department's 1998 holding in Schroder v. Consolidated Edison Co. of New York that "[t]here is no longer any need for special circumstances,"4 the First Department in Tannenbaum v. City of New York subsequently held that a denial of a third-party deposition was proper because the "plaintiff failed to show special circumstances or that the information sought was relevant and could not be obtained from other sources."5 Given the inconsistency between Schroder and Tannenbaum and subsequent case law in the First Department granting third-party motions to quash subpoenas where the information sought is available from other sources,6 the relevant standard for third-party disclosure in the First Department remains unclear.
In addition, while the Second Department also expressly disavowed the special circumstances standard in Kooper v. Kooper,7 the court still emphasized that more than "mere relevance and materiality is necessary to warrant disclosure from a non-party."8 What that higher standard requires is very difficult to pin down, and the reason parties and nonparties still are treated differently on this issue appears to depend more on the statutory language than on policy. The Third Department also continues to apply a higher standard due to the statutory wording, which it made clear in the 2010 case of Troy Sand & Gravel v. Town of Nassau.9
In Troy Sand & Gravel, the Third Department considered whether the 1984 change in CPLR 3101(a)(4) should cause the court to abandon its prior "special circumstances" precedents. The court pointedly declined to do so, because it would "render the distinction drawn in the statute between parties and nonparties meaningless" and violate the tenant of statutory construction that all parts of a statute must be given meaning. Although special circumstances "as defined prior to the 1984 amendment" was "no longer applicable," the court nevertheless decided to "adhere to [its] precedent" and hold that "something more than mere relevance or materiality must be shown."
Again, the questions are: how much more, and why can't we depend on the third party (who is making the motion to quash) to state the burdens so the court can balance them against the asserted need of the party seeking disclosure?
Practical Issues
"Special circumstances" also apparently does not mean that the party is seeking a reasonable amount of redundancy for items sought in e-discovery. However, that redundancy can ensure that all the available disclosure is provided, and often this can be done without unreasonable burden on the third party.
However, numerous cases seem to flatly deny third-party disclosure if the requesting party cannot show that the information is "unavailable from other sources."10 These holdings do not address reasonable redundancy for completeness purposes, and ironically the standard might protect a party who improperly fails to make a required disclosure.
Assuming that occurs in a case, the demanding party will face an "unknown unknown" problem—they can never be completely sure what is and is not available. All the data they seek is in the hands of others, and perversely, if the critical email is not disclosed for whatever reason, the party seeking disclosure will be unable to meet the unavailability standard. They will have no way to show the undisclosed document actually exists.
CPLR 3101(a) allows "full disclosure of all matter material and necessary in the prosecution or defense of an action, regardless of the burden of proof." This certainly is consistent with a broad disclosure policy, constrained only by reasonable and relevance standards. Notably, the federal counterpart to CPLR 3101 (Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) contains no added requirements for disclosure from a non-party.11 In the age of electronic discovery, "availability" of disclosure from other sources is an impractical and indefinite standard.
A better approach is to let the court strike the reasonableness balance on a case-by-case basis, which it already is free to do by granting a CPLR 3103 protective order, or causing the reasonable production expenses of the third party to be defrayed by the party seeking the discovery, under CPLR 3122(d).
The Chief Administrator's Advisory Committee has suggested such an amendment to CPLR 3101(a), to eliminate the four existing paragraphs of subdivision (a), and simply allow disclosure from "any person" according to the material and necessary standard. For non-party subpoenas, the only proposed new requirement is that the subpoena shall state the nature of the action.12
The clear import of both of the 1984 amendments to CPLR 3101(a)(4) was to broaden third-party disclosure, without unreasonably burdening the third party. However, if such burdens exist and are unreasonable, there is not much risk the third party won't complain, by suggesting that the demanding party alleviate the burden or cost, or failing that, by a motion to quash. Should the motion ensue, CPLR 3103 provides all the tools needed to adjust the equities.

CORAZON'S Custom Catering speaks of three guiding pillars: Family, Food and Comfort.
Spanning three generations, CORAZON'S was established to pay homage to the family roots and food is
very much connected to it. I should know, I am Charm, the third generation.
As a kid, I remember our 12:00nn Sunday lunches at our big brown round table with four dishes whether
it be the favorites Kare Kare, Lumpiang Shanghai to the classics Chicken Adobo and Pancit plus the rice
spinning in our 'lazy sussie' until it reaches my cousin or 'Papa', our grandfather, as we all call him. The
dishes were cooked everyday by 'Mama', our grandmother, once she comes home from teaching. Fresh
produce and meat were sourced on a daily basis every morning to be prepared for lunch and dinner. For
birthdays, parties and holidays, 'Tita Bubbles', the youngest of three, took charge in the kitchen and her
specialty baked pasta was a crowd pleaser and a must for every occassion.
Growing up, it catch on to me as well. I was in gradeschool when my parents enrolled me in baking classes during the summer. During the
summer months, I regularly tuned in to cooking shows in the afternoon and took up Culinary Arts as my elective for my senior year in
highschool. It made me want to explore more than baking and home cooking. Fortunately, I was able to take up culinary arts. It is true, "the
eyes eat first"; if it is pleasing to the eyes,chances are it tastes good. I kept this in my heart along with our family's home cooking, culinary's
guiding principles and essentials.
Putting up CORAZON'S Custom Catering was definitely not an easy task. Four years and counting, we are still evolving and learning this
Coming from our kitchen to yours, CORAZON'S Custom Catering is here to serve our gourmet Filipino dishes and experience that you and
your family will enjoy.

Laboratory Accreditation Body Committee
This committee develops the standard for operation of laboratory accreditation bodies.
Conference Calls: 3rd Tuesday, 11 am ET
Contact the Committee Chair or Program Administrator to request to participate for these calls.
On September 20, 2011, the On-Site Assessment Committee was merged with the Laboratory Accreditation Body Committee. The minutes and documents produced by the On-Site Assessment Committee are included below.
On June 9, 2010, this committee was renamed the Laboratory Accreditation Body Committee to reflect a change in the TNI bylaws. Documents such as meeting minutes may show the previous name of this committee, Accreditation Body Committee.
As a means to improve the quality and consistency of environmental data throughout the United States and to foster the mutual recognition of laboratory accreditation by Accreditation Bodies, the mission of the Laboratory Accreditation Body Committee is to develop and support accreditation standards by engaging experts in a consensus-based standards development process.
Strategic Goals and Objectives:
- Periodically review the TNI Standards for laboratory accreditation bodies (Volume 2, Modules 1 & 3) and recommend revisions as necessary for consistency and improvement.
- Support the NELAP Accreditation Council (AC) and the Laboratory Accreditation Systems Executive Committee (LASEC) in preparing draft policies and procedures to support program implementation, as requested by LASEC.
- Support the TNI Standards for accreditation bodies by developing and recommending appropriate training and guidance materials as coordinated within the TNI to facilitate the implementation and adoption of these standards on a national level.
- Review and respond to Standards Interpretation Requests, as referred.
- Gather and disseminate information on accreditation body activity as requested. This may include surveys and interviews.
- Monitor and report on ISO Conformity Assessment Committee (CASCO) Work Group revisions to ISO/IEC 17011.Support NELAP by completing any tasks assigned by the Board or required by the AC.
Success Measures:
- Successful adoption of policies, standards and recommendations by TNI and NELAP.
- Acceptance and use of database for laboratory applications and a generic TNI application to make the process easier.
- Acceptance of adopted policies and procedures to support NELAP
- Continued mutual recognition among Accreditation Bodies.
- Decisions that are found acceptable by federal, state and private sector organizations.
- Increased number of NELAP accreditation bodies and/or accreditation bodies adopting the use of TNI Standards.
- Increased number of organizations recognizing NELAP accredited laboratories.
Key Milestones for 2015:
Review of Volume 2, Modules 1 & 3, TNI Environmental Laboratory Sector Standard
- November 2015 – Complete review and finalize recommendation about the need to revise and whether to combine the two modules into one.
- December 2015 -- Initiate development of implementation plan for the revision.
For the generic application form:
- Date TBD – Present beta version of the generic application for review and comments. Identify beta testers. (depends on timing of completion of development)
- Date TBD – Make the above mentioned tool available for use; provide information and/or training to the laboratory and AB community.
- Volunteer member organization with significant time constraints.
- Maturing TNI infrastructure can provide the required resources for the committee to achieve its goals.
- TNI Webmaster has adequate time to complete generic application development.
- The committee has the ability to identify and engage the right expertise to get their job done.
- The committee has the ability to implement an effective consensus-based standards development process
- ABs and other stakeholders will accept the work products of the committee.
- Budgetary and financial constraints, as well as industry politics, may prevent the adoption of otherwise usable solutions.
- Standards must establish a consistent baseline for achieving good data quality but provide for maximum flexibility with minimum prescriptiveness.
Available Resources:
- Volunteer committee members
- Existing national and international consensus-based standards
- EPA Cooperative Agreement
- TNI Website
- Other TNI Committees (Expert and Administrative/Support functions)
- Participating organizations
- A potentially large group of volunteer associate members to help with committee objectives.
- Benefits from ANSI recognition
Additional Resources Required:

A computer system needs to be designed to meet the specific needs of the business or organisation using it. It works by following instructions contained in a program or suite of programs. The programmer, often working as a member of a team, designs the programs, writes them in a programming language and then tests and modifies them until they are suitable for the task and the users they were intended for. They also document the programmes - that is they write comments and instructions so that people know how to use and maintain them.
Most of the work is done in an office during normal office hours. Self-employed programmers and those employed by a computer services bureau will work on-site until the job is finished and this may involve travelling and staying away from home for periods of time.
Programmers need technical skills and in-depth understanding of information technology systems. They should have a methodical and analytical approach to problem solving and pay great attention to detail. They will probably be working as part of a team so they need to be able to get along with and communicate well with colleagues. They must be able to meet deadlines and tackle problems and setbacks as they arise.
Other skills required include; creating software from detailed designs; data analysis and database design, designing and testing the preferred information technology solution.

The next several years will form a culmination of now-clear mega trends that have only just begun to roil conventional business practices. We're talking about pervasive mobile applications use, highly responsive cloud computing models, and knowledge-adept social collaboration. More than just these shifts, there also needs to be an increasingly automated, secure, and harmonizing management capability that combines and reinforces them.
It takes a special kind of enterprise to close the expectation gap between what customers and citizens expect and what the enterprise can deliver.
As these trends literally re-arrange business ecosystems and re-established the service delivery order, a gap will surely grow between the companies that master change and exploit enabling technologies -- and those that fall ever further behind.
With that in mind, HP has rolled out new solutions that aim to help both business and government create their own Instant-On Enterprise. Not surprisingly, the driver of the Instant-On Enterprise is everything becoming connected and immediate, people expect responses regardless of sourcing and/or partner ecosystems — and within seconds instead of days.
"It takes a special kind of enterprise to close the expectation gap between what customers and citizens expect and what the enterprise can deliver," says Tom Hogan, executive vice president of Enterprise Sales, Marketing and Strategy at HP. "The Instant-On Enterprise delivers differentiated competitive advantage, serving customers, employees, partners and citizens with whatever they want and need, instantly…
New HP research reveals that the role of IT is shifting from chiefly being the administrator of the enterprise to becoming one and the same with the enterprise. This means enabling rapid, recurring business process improvements to meet dynamic customer demands, as well as gaining near-instant insights into shifting markets.
Coleman Parkes research conducted for HP in October reveals that 86 percent of senior business and government executives believe they must rapidly adapt the enterprise to meet changes in consumer expectations. The research also indicates that 78 percent believe technology is the key to business and government innovation, and 85 percent indicated that in order to be successful, technology needs to be embedded in the business or government service.
HP's new solutions work to help enterprises and government leverage technology in ways that will meet those goals. HP sees it as a reinvention of how technology is used to deliver innovation at every point in the value chain. That covers the services that are delivered, the mobile devices that provide the access, and the global data centers required to power the Instant-On Enterprise.
There are several components to HP's Instant-On Enterprise: HP Application Transformation, HP Converged Infrastructure, HP Enterprise Security, and HP Information Optimization:
IT must ensure new applications are rolled out quickly, reliably, and without risk, while at the same time guaranteeing performance and availability. Read this VirtualWisdom white paper to find out how to achieve application-aligned infrastructure performance, and more. more

Bushfire tears through Kangaroo Island
South Australia's Country Fire Service says dense scrub is hampering firefighters as they battle a blaze on Kangaroo Island.
The fire has burnt more than 100 hectares of grass and scrub near Menzies and Wisanger and is heading in a north-westerly direction.
Police say parts of Northcoast Road and Rose Cottage Road have been closed to motorists.
Forty-five firefighters and four waterbombers are trying to put out the blaze west of Kingscote.
CFS spokeswoman Melissa Veale says crews are using bulldozers to create firebreaks and are backburning to reduce the fuel load.
"It's not listed as controlled or contained at the moment, so they haven't managed to stop its spread at this point," she said.
"We've still got the watch-and-act message in place and they're just working to create those fuel breaks.
"But it's not actually an immediate threat to any homes at this point."
Ms Veale says it is burning in difficult scrub areas.
"Crews are using a different strategy such as bulldozing, firebreaks and backburning to reduce the fuel load and contain the fire," she said.

This biblical, thorough treatment of end-times prophecy from an internationally respected Bible teacher is positioned to become the definitive word on the last days.
Publishers Description
What does the Bible have to say about the end times? Bible prophecy reveals much concerning the end of the age, but for most readers, these prophecies can seem vague, confusing, or downright strange. Beloved author Derek Prince assures readers concerned about what the future holds that the Bible's proven record of accuracy, extending over many centuries, validates its claim to predict future events with authority. The "secret things" may remain hidden from us, he says, but our responsibility is to study and act on the "revealed things." And the God who foretells the future is the one who will see us safely through.
This biblical, thorough treatment of end-times prophecy from an internationally respected Bible teacher is positioned to become the definitive word on the last days, both for Derek Prince's loyal readers and for many new ones who will catch the vision of the glorious victory to come.

Writer. Author of Wellington: The Years of the Sword; Wellington: The Pillar of the State.
Primary Contributions (1)
Irish-born commander of the British army during the Napoleonic Wars and later prime minister of Great Britain (1828–30). He first rose to military prominence in India, won successes in the Peninsular War in Spain (1808–14), and shared in the victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo (1815). Wellington twice reached the zenith of fame with a period of unexampled odium intervening. By defeating Napoleon at Waterloo he became the conqueror of the world's conqueror. After Waterloo he joined a repressive government, and later, as prime minister, he resisted pressure for constitutional reform. False pride, however, never prevented him from retreating either on the field or in Parliament, and for the country's sake he supported policies that he personally disapproved. In old age he was idolized as an incomparable public servant—the Great Duke. Reaction came after his death. He has been rated an overcautious general and, once, Britain's worst 19th-century prime minister. Today there is...READ MORE

The Film You're Killing Me is a black comedy that effectively uses satire to poke fun at popular culture in terms of its obsession with social media, its desensitization to violence, and the portrayal of relationships in the media. The film centers around George, a flamboyantly gay social media junkie, who makes his livelihood producing YouTube videos with his best friend Barnes. George and his circle of friends are never found without a cell phone in hand and a twitter comment to discuss. Their obsession with social media can only be rivalled by their obsessions with themselves. The narcissism in each of the characters is apparent and a frequent occurrence in the dialogue is for one character to say something only to be ignored by the rest who go on to make their own announcements.
Early in the film George meets Joe; a tall, dark and handsome stranger who also happens to be a serial killer. Perhaps a more appropriate term would be an erotophonophile, as for Joe murder is on par with sexual pleasure. Arguably, murder is like an orgasm for Joe and his gory murder scenes are often depicted with cheerful music and inappropriately artful spatterings of blood. While reserved, monotone Joe is completely overt about his penchant for murder, George occupies such a state of self-involved delusion that he fails to acknowledge that his new boyfriend is a psychopath. It is only when a series of George's friends go missing that he and Barnes piece together Joe's activities. The film culminates in a jump forward to the future where Joe is in prison after being arrested for murder. Joe and George continue to date via Skype, Barnes and friends continue to obsess over themselves and ultimately the film comes to a close in which no one learns anything. This is likely another dig at popular culture's seeming inability to disengage from the activities it so ardently scorns. The nature of the relationship between Joe and George is also a satirical outlook on the idea that 'love endures' and the obsession that media has with dating, hooking up and fast forward relationships.
As the film is portrayed through a satirical scope, it is difficult to determine if the lack of intersectionalism is a premeditated decision meant to reflect the narrow profile of media in popular culture, or just exclusion on the part of the director. For example, all of the characters in the film are white, middle class, generation X individuals who exhibit an obsession with social media. The topics of race, class, age, nationality and able bodiedness are not touched upon in terms of plot lines and are certainly not discussed among the vapid protagonists. However, the show does address a range of sexual orientations as the plot focuses around a gay couple and their mixed heterosexual and homosexual friend group. It should be noted that transgender people and lesbian couples are not included in the film. Despite the anti-media stance that the film takes, it actually incorporates several elements that arguably make it a product of popular media culture. For example, the binary between George and Joe in terms of their personality and relationship roles can be described in terms of new homonormativity. According to Duggan, "new homonormativity" refers to a new form of normalization of gay and lesbian relationships that upholds and sustains heteronormative assumptions (50). This is evident with George taking on the vain, social and 'feminine' role and Joe taking on the strong, silent 'masculine' role.
Another area where the film reflects popular media influence, whether intentionally or not is in the presentation of George as a vapid narcissist. Arguably, George occupies a New Man model of masculinity as he does not fit the strict hegemonic profile of Old Man masculinity due to his homosexuality. Nor does he fit a New Lad profile because of his stringent body care and attention to appearance. However, in portraying George as being vain and self centered, the film adheres to popular culture criticisms of the new man as being narcissistic, effeminate, fake and unauthentic (Edwards 2003; Gill 2003 qtd in text pg. 117). If the above postulates of homonormativity and portrayal of New Man masculinity were purposively applied by the director, it would serve as further satire against popular culture. However, if these portrayals were not intended, then it could be argued that the film excludes intersectional profiles of homosexual people; such as those who adhere to different discourses of masculinity or those who do not occupy homonormative gender roles in relationships.
The film is interesting in that while it may not have an intersectional approach in terms of the characters that it includes; there is arguably an intersectional approach in terms of its targets of media satire. As an example, it is obvious that the film uses stereotypes to portray contemporary culture's obsession with social media. What is interesting is that new media itself actually perpetuates stereotypes. As noted by Anneke and Meyer, "[in new media] people reach for easy, quick solutions that can be textually communicated: stereotypes…Rather than cyberspace offering a world where gender no longer matters, gender is reinscribed in even more narrow, conventional ways" (174). In the film, George is not just a homosexual YouTube blogger but a flamboyant YouTube 'personality'; a stereotype of what it means to be a gay man who uses social media. Therefore, not only is the film critiquing the stereotypical representation of homosexuals but it is critiquing how platforms such as new media serve to perpetuate these stereotypes.
The film You're Killing Me satirically presents a stereotyped view of current culture as seen through popular media. This is best portrayed through the obsession with social media demonstrated by the characters, the desensitization to violence through Joe's campy murder scenes and the portrayal of media relationships through George's enduring love with his serial killer boyfriend. The lack of diversity and intersectionalism in the film can likely be attributed to satire of the narrow, stereotyped character profiles seen in the media. Despite the dark subject matter of the film, it was both humorous and insightful.

VMI's IP successfully protected in China
Chinese Intellectual Property Office fully upholds VMI's claim against patent infringement
Based on clear evidence of infringement by Shuangjun Plastic and Rubber Machinery Ltd. against VMI patent for its tire building drum, the Chinese Intellectual Property Office (IPO) has now ordered the offending company to stop manufacturing, offering for sale and making false claims about the product.
In 2014, VMI received reports from the market that a company named Shuangjun Plastic and Rubber Machinery Ltd had illegally infringed a key patent related to VMI's tire building drum and was falsely passing off the resulting copies as being their own property. Once VMI gathered sufficient evidence, a formal complaint was made to the IPO, which then carried out a raid on the premises of Shangjun Plastic and Rubber in August 2014 to secure further evidence of this illegal activity.
Actions to date
As a direct result of the raid, Shangjun attempted to invalidate VMI's long-standing and world-recognized patent. Shuangjun completely failed in the invalidation attempt as the Chinese Patent Review Board ruled against Shuangjun and upheld VMI's patent. In addition, the IPO has now formally ruled that Shuangjun infringed VMI's patent in judgement passed on April 8, 2015. The IPO has ruled that the activity taken by Shangjun was indeed a clear case of copying VMI's IP with the intention of deceiving clients into buying imitation products, falsely "passed-off" as Shangjun property.
As a result of this successful defense of IP carried out in China, with the full support of the relevant Chinese government bodies, Shuangjun Plastic and Rubber Ltd has been ordered to stop production of the copied drum, and to stop offering for sale or otherwise taking into the market any further copies of the VMI product. Having been successful in winning this unequivocal judgement, VMI is now considering actions against other infringers in the market to protect its technology, products and reputation.
VMI strategy
As a leading innovator in smart manufacturing technology, VMI invests heavily in original IP and has built up a unique reputation globally as the most advanced and most cost effective manufacturer of tire building machines in the world. This together with the exceptional service provided to clients makes VMI Group a strong actor in the tire industry.
VMI manufactures in the Netherlands and in China. VMI is a committed, long-term investor in the Chinese economy, exporting to the world from Yantai in China and employing a growing number of highly-skilled Chinese personnel. To maintain its competitive position in the market VMI holds many patents worldwide and adds to them each year.
VMI's strategy is to identify all significant patent infringements and respond rapidly and vigorously in every such case. VMI recognizes that theft of intellectual property not only damages VMI's commercial interests but also results in shoddy products being sold to unsuspecting customers resulting in manufacturing downtime and otherwise damaging the interests of such customers. Defense of IP is thus not simply a commercial necessity but a clear duty to the market.
About VMI Group
VMI Holland BV is a subsidiary of TKH Group NV (Euronext Amsterdam). VMI Group is the world's leading producer of tire manufacturing machinery, and offers global technical support from service centers in the Netherlands, the USA, Brazil, China, Malaysia and Russia. VMI Group employs more than 1200 people around the world.

Journal Article: Paleothermicity In The Central Asturian Coal Basin, North Spain
AbstractThis research shows for the first time maps of vitrinite reflectances and paleotemperatures from the Central Asturian Coal Basin (North Spain) which is a Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) Basin mainly of Moscovian age. Vitrinite reflectance values decrease from north to south whereas volatile matter distribution increases from south to north. Vitrinite reflectance and volatile matter parameters indicate a coal rank ranging from high volatile bituminous coal in the north, to semianthracite and anthracite in the south. Rock-Eval data show that the organic matter of this basin is Type III kerogen, with a maturation ranging from oil to gas window. Paleotemperatures were calculated by diverse methods using vitrinite reflectance data for different durations of heating and Rock-Eval results. The calculated paleotemperatures and vertical paleotemperature gradients decrease from south to north. The thermal gradient variation in the Central Asturian Coal Basin points to the influence of at least two heating events that affected the organic matter. The first associated with a regular geothermal gradient operating over a long period of time, and the second linked to a southern granitic event of short duration estimated by tectonic data. The short thermal event was located at the end of sedimentation (Late Moscovian and Late Westphalian D) and after folding, but before the overthrusting during the Asturian tectonic phase located before the Early Kasimovian (Cantabrian and Stephanian) deposits. Finally, a simulation of paleotemperatures around the granitic pluton was calculated and compared to maps of paleotemperatures obtained by various methods. These maps refer to an initial depth of one or two km in accordance with the selected methods that are compatible with local erosion. This approach was preferred in order to explain the metamorphism of coal, rather than the hypothesis of hydrothermal fluid flow proposed for other foreland basins. This regional thermal anomaly could be important for future coalbed methane assessment.
