Million pound Usenet indexer found guilty
Newzbin, a website which indexed Usenet files, but did not host them, has been found liable for copyright infringement by the High Court of Justice in London . Newzbin was a members-only website and had turnover of more than £1m in 2009. It provided members with a search engine for Usenet groups. Precise terms of the judgement …
That defence.
"......mainly used to search for Usenet discussions rather than binary content."
The fact that they called themselves "Newzbin", an obvious play on "NewsBin" (to quote the wobblypedia[1]: "one of the first news clients dedicated to downloading binary content from Usenet"), is a bit of a giveaway here.
Sawing off one of the few legs your defence has to stand on right at the start? Not a good idea.
[1] I make no apologies.
Sounds like...
"Any of the material we index can be found on any one of thousands of sites on the Internet so pursuit of us is a futile waste of everyones time and money"
To be read as: "Why are you pinking on us? It isn't fair! If they can do it why can't we? Why are you letting them off?"
Don't wannabe a shill for the record companies, but if you are going to index copyrighted content and make no effort to remove indexes of copyrighted material, then you are aiding and abetting. Simple as.
Besides which, I don't believe that they are purely interested in linux distros, RPM's, DEB's or whateverbuntu's. I'd warrant 95% of their indexed content is porn and copyrighted films or music.
Not quite true
They have a takedown procedure as do many other websites. Judging from their own actions they do not ignore these requests either.
That said, from what I've heard given the categories in use it would be clear to most people what they intended the site to be used for.
RE: Take down request
But you do have to send the requests via post. Judge found this to be deliberately cumbersome.
Having read a lot of it, seems to me the case is for "infringing copyright" and not assisting in it. Does read like the judge forgets halfway through they dont actually provide the copyrighted material
...it's made more cumbersome to try and avoid abuse of the system by the media industry and thier use of automated processes that often get it wrong?
"I'd warrant 95% of their indexed content is porn and copyrighted films or music."
That's probably because 95% of what is uploaded to Usenet is porn and copyrighted material.
If the Internet was 95% porn, then 95% of Google's index would be porn.
it is... just turn safesearch off...
Bought laws and judges.
"Don't wannabe a shill for the record companies, but if you are going to index copyrighted content and make no effort to remove indexes of copyrighted material, then you are aiding and abetting. Simple as."
Bullshit, imho. Who is _really_ infringing the copyright here?
The guy who puts something in the Usenet or the company who searches from the material that is _publicly available to anyone_? Even you.
You see that MPAA is not doing _anything_ to sue those delivering the content, the real infringers. That should be the least requirement before you can sue anybody for abiding.
"Guilty by giving the address" is the point here and that's ridiculous: It's not by any definition copyright infringment.
The judge is an idiot and the law is even more idiotic. "Abiding" needs that there's also somebody doing the real "crime" (=infringment) at same court: Did you see those? I didn't.
So judge decides whatever he wants, basically: I'm 100% sure there is perfectly valid grounds for exactly opposite decision, also.
"I don't believe that they are purely interested in linux distros, RPM's, DEB's or whateverbuntu's. I'd warrant 95% of their indexed content is porn and copyrighted films or music."
If I were paying for their search results I would most certainly hope so!!
This is plain wrong! Surely? Am I the only one to think this stinks?
On the upside:
A spokeswoman for the MPA said it was not about to go to war with search engines like Google...
Because that would be a bucket of FAIL!
Of course the MPA's not
going to go to war against Google, though they were happy to hit Newzbin. For much the same reason that a pack of hyenas might be willing to tackle a gazelle, but know they aren't going to get very far against an elephant...
Is there a lawyer in the house?
While these guys were probably not making the smartest moves possible in the way they represented their purpose, in and out of court, that should still have had no bearing on the case (so don't depend on it for your defence!). Thing is, they're not hosting anything but search results. Like OiNK, and google, and bing, and so on. So why is this indexer liable for the content it indexes, and the others aren't? That alone ought to be enough for an appeal, I say. But you'd need slightly sharper defendants than this. Lawyer comments?
No, there's never a lawyer on an El Reg forum
"Thing is, they're not hosting anything but search results"
From my reading of the judgement (and I stopped about a quarter of the way through) this is not the case, and that's rather the point.
They were actively involved in manually creating NZB files and hosting them on the site. Had they been just running an algorithm over the internet, they could hide behind the "search results" defence, but once they start authoring and hosting their own content they are surely liable for that content and the judge presumably felt that (unlike a video recorder, say, which has legitimate uses) an NZB pointing to copyrighted material was of no intrinsic value except to assist in copyright infringement.
Similarly, a search engine that finds a libelous statement should not land in hot water, but a website that employs human staff to translate such statements into various languages for the benefit of subscribers might very well find itself a little warm and wet.
Wasn't that Pirate Bays Defence?
"Had they been just running an algorithm over the internet, they could hide behind the "search results" defence"
I thought that's what Pirate Bay tried?
The main reason Google, Bing, and the larger companies arent being targeted has already been stated. They pay lip service to take down requests and they are simply too big
....and countless others are just as good.
Nothing to see here ;)
"This verdict confirms that..."
"... such websites have a duty of care to prevent the availability of illegal content on their websites."
Like if you put "<text> torrent" the search box in Google?
It will be missed if it disappears completely....
The War on Search Engines
The RIAA rep crows that they're not currently targeting Google but..... "websites have a duty of care to prevent the availability of illegal content on their websites".
So let's look forward to a China-friendly world where all net searches are automatically filtered to remove anything illegal, offensive or transgressive (by the standards of any individual, corporation or nation with the power to sue). Their version of Web2.0 will look like AOL circa 1993 - just links to nice, safe shopping & hobby sites.
I'm not a total fan of pirates, hackers, spammers etc, but if I have to take a side I'll stand with them against the smothering embrace of the RIAA pigopoly.
You can't even get the basics right. It was the MPA not the RIAA.
Freetards is not very bright today.
Insert acronym
MPA, RIAA, whatever. They're all trying to do the same thing.
Same shit, different wrapper.
I'm all for copyright used appropriately to protect creative work as intended. The RIAA and MPA and other organizations like them are abusing copyright law to protect their oldthink business models and lousy me-too content that's anything but creative.
>>A spokeswoman for the MPA said it was not about to go to war with search engines like Google<<
Yes, because they'd spank you and send you crying home to mommy. No, you don't want to go to war with Google.
>>She said: "This verdict confirms that such websites have a duty of care to prevent the availability of illegal content on their websites."<<
No. It proves what any other lawsuit proves. You have more money and can bamboozle judges better than than your victims can show the truth.
The truth doesn't help in a case like this where a judge probably doesn't even know what a search index is, how to understand electronic process, let alone how to judge a case based on one.
But note, *no* content hosted on *their* servers
This routine is almost as farcical as the US patent office.
There is a *lot* of binary content on usenet.
*Some* of it is no doubt copyright.
But hey, going after the posters might cost *real* money and time.
Thumbs down for this very poor judgement.
Like trying to stop sand falling through your fingers, why dont they just create their own movie download service instead of wasting time with this crap?
Because apparently they are ...
a bit thick...
a bit thick?
Film, TV and Music industries need to understand simple concepts. Put their prices down and there will be no incentive for people to bother downloading for free.
If HD movies were sub $5 without DRM who would even be concerned about a free copy? Perhaps only those who would never consider paying at any price.
I thought it was already an accepted fact that those who illegally download music in UK also spend more on average on music than those who do not.
If the industry vultures who prey on the creatives who actually make the material we consume werent so short sighted and greedy then they would already be a solution.
The pr0n industry have embraced and innovated with regard to digital content, some have prospered - those who deserve to fail do so.
Until creatives, consumers and govt realise the problem is the ignorant tw@ts that run these industries not people who pirate we will all be ripped off / criminalised / exploited.
This is a win for 17 overpaid VPs at Sony / Colombia and wherever; well done - with enough money who cant confused a stupid judge.
There are many things in life I'd like but I can't afford.
I have an incentive for not stealing them, though. It's called 'the law'.
Silly boy
Ahhh. That old stinker again.
You don't do something because you are afraid of the authorities, rather than not doing something because it is wrong. You must be a nice person to know.
A bit like those religious 'tards who think that if you don't believe in Jebus then what would stop you from raping and pillaging all the time.
Oh yeah, it's not theft you stupid fecker.
I t ' s C O P Y R I G H T I N F R I N G E M E N T n o t t h e f t .
as a regular user fo Newzbin, its intergration with my usenet downloader was second to non at the time i signed up for it. And yes there may be content on its index that is copywrite, but they activly took it down in a speedy manour.
Much how wikipedia gets its content from users submissions, so does newzbin. You cant control the masses all the time.
As others have said, Nezbin IMO was an easy target. Bad judges, bad lawers.
Nar mind, ill just have to get my NZB's from elsewhere.... like Google!
...freetard spelling, punctuation and grammar
Erm... ok...
"not about to go to war with search engines like Google"
So there is a difference in the way the results are presented to me if I were to type:
'<Generic Film Name> NZB'
'<Generic Film Name> Torrent'
into Google? I don't think so, google provide me with a snippet of text from the page, plus the link, and also a cached copy should the site be down!
"This verdict confirms that such websites have a duty of care to prevent the availability of illegal content on their websites."
Either that makes no sense, or what the MPA mean is websites are responsible for their own content. If that IS what the MPA means then all it does is prove they are talking cr@p, if that isn't what they mean then it proves they are talking cr@p...
Try it
If I type "avatar torrent" I get a link to a website, not the torrent itself. I can see the difference. Can you?
@Anomalous Cowherd
What happens if you search for "avatar filetype:torrent"?
RE: Try it
'If I type "avatar torrent" I get a link to a website, not the torrent itself. I can see the difference. Can you?'
Two degrees of Kevin Bacon instead of one? Is that where infringement officially ends?
I think the biggest problem is the fact that they make money.
The argument many people have used in the past is that the MPAA are not losing any money since the people who download copyright material would not have paid for it anyway. The fact that Newzbin charge a fee shows that people are willing to pay. Not so much freetards as cheaptards.
Then surely the correct response is to steal the idea and do it on the legal. If there was a newzbin run by the MPAA then they could capitalise on peoples desire for protected content.
Im pretty sure even at 10 times the price [Newzbin charges 30p a week] millions of people would pay for a legal alternative.
MPAA are too stupid to adapt their business model to survive the inevitable. Movies will be downloaded no matter who they sue, someone will get paid - just not them for the moment.
Not going after google!
Of course they wont go after google for the simple reason that the movie industry needs search engines to like it and index searches of its new releases.
If they went after google all google would do is block all searches related to content from MPAA members, pull trailers from you tube and effectively kill the market.
Forget the legalities of it all, google doesnt need to win the lawsuits, they will get withdrawn in a shot.
Paris - equally likely to sue google!
it sounds like the reports created by the editors were there downfall, added to the auto imdb link and warez categories they did not have a leg to stand on. but my upmost respect to the owner Cesium, his decision to keep no server logs protected his users/editors anonmymity
downloading a .nzb is not downloading the file itself.
Just because you have the .nzb does not mean you downloaded the file, this is far less watertight than the bit-torrent ip farce that the ambulance chasers use. You cannot prove that just because someone downloaded a pointer to a file, they have the file themselves.
To prove you downloaded the file, one would need to know which of the many usenet providers you use, and then submit a court order to them to force them to hand over their logs of the threads you downloaded..
Its odd that this wasnt part of their defence!
If I use a tomtom to find an exs new house so that I can go round and kill her does that mean tomtom are liable?
Why did they bother?
There's a tonne of indexers on the web, which people will disperse to. So this will not increase sales revenue in the slightest. It's not like a torrent site where there's a central index to a load of files, with usenet there's multiple indexes to the same files, which you then use your usenet provider to grab.
It's not even like you *need* an indexer anyway, you could still get your binaries by downloading headers and searching with a newsreader.
Newzbin don't provide anything that you can't get anyway by using a newsreader, they just make it a bit easier to find.
This case is a joke and as someone above pointed out, it seems the judge forgot the difference between hosting material and indexing it.
RE: No need for index
Agreed and a large part of the case seems to hinge on this...
"# As Mr Clark further explained, if a user wished to retrieve such a large group of files directly from Usenet, he would have to identify all the messages they incorporate, download them one at a time and then use a separate software application to assemble them together. This would clearly be an onerous and inconvenient task and take days to accomplish. It could also be extremely frustrating, as Mr Elsworth himself elaborated. A user might spend a great deal of time and effort downloading the majority of the messages only to discover that one message, the final piece in the jigsaw, was missing. In that event he would be prevented from reconstituting the work and his days of effort would have been wasted."
I reckon it could be done in minutes not days.
No need for index?
The index helps one know what is available - theres no need for the NZB. Equally you could got to TVRage or TV.com and see what was aired last night in USA or IMDB to see what came out on DVD etc,
Using any usenet client you could just search for the file and select the list of articles yourself. A download and repair takes under 15 minutes and is fully automated by grabit et al....
Why not post the NZBs on USENET rather than the website, problem solved
"Of course they wont go after google for the simple reason that the movie industry needs search engines to like it and index searches of its new releases.
If they went after google all google would do is block all searches related to content from MPAA members, pull trailers from you tube and effectively kill the market."
Interesting points. Why you make it sound like Google is virtually a monopoly.
Thumbs up for the point.
Google is a monopoly
"Interesting points. Why you make it sound like Google is virtually a monopoly."
.... maybe because it is?
At least now.
It also behaves like one and if you don't believe, read their CEO's comments, he's an ignorant idiot and makes the company slogan "Do no evil" to a some kind of cruel joke to users.
More realistic would be "Do as much evil you can".
Legal Alternative. We Are Still Waiting zzzzzzzz
If only the movie industry would create a decent legal Movie download site.
(and before the Mactards arrive iTunes is a million miles away from 'decent')
People are clearly willing to pay for a download service. Trouble is the Movie industry is either too clueless or too greedy to work it out.
The Movie industry would like to charge you £15 every time you watched a film. Ideally if you watch a film at home they would like to charge every person/animal who catches a glimpse of the screen. If you don't pay you are supporting terrorism or some other such rubbish.
I would pay for a legal TV episode download site. No DRM, sensible formats and a sensible price is all I ask. Not difficult considering this available for free, now. Its a no brainer. Unless you are an out of touch Hollywood exec.
They made a ton of wonga so that made then stick out like a sore thumb!
Indexing is wrong? Right, so when are Google et al gonna get lynched then?
Ton of wonga?
Turning over just under a million and making 300k profit doesnt sound like a ton of money to me!
Unless its in pound coins.
Im sure plenty of ad supported torrent and usenet sites make just as much. Registering as a legal entity in UK was the issue.
Make your results behave the same as google? Yes?
They state that they have no intentions of going after Google then all newsbin have to do is present there results just like google? Problem solved and no infringement? Simple as, surely?
Maybe the small indexers should check if Google is being evil
"A spokeswoman for the MPA said it was not about to go to war with search engines like Google."
This is a great way for Google to get a legally-allowed monopoly in Blighty, and perhaps all of the EU as well, while Hollywood pays for it.
I wonder why Hollywood would pay for Google to get a monopoly?

State-Tribal Relations
Course Description
Tribal, state, and local governments have characteristically acted as if they were in parallel universes whose fates were determined by the gods in Washington. In fact their affairs are intertwined economically, socially, environmentally, and politically, and their fates are largely determined by the behavior of these local governments and the management of their intergovernmental relationship. This course will deal with the inescapable tribal-state relationship, first as a broad set of policy issues and then in a series of substantive areas such as environment, human services and the ever-popular gaming. As the past few years should have demonstrated, this course is NOT just for people with an interest in federal Indian law; it is for anyone who intends to practice in the State of New Mexico and do it right.

I am thrilled to welcome you all the Fall 2010 semester! Whether you, like myself, are new to the Hunter community or you are a returning student, faculty or staff, I encourage all of you to make to most of the people and resources available to you through the Hunter College Libraries.
There are so many ways we can help you begin this semester on a solid footing. Our Library Faculty has created subject guides and online tools to help you conduct better research. They also teach a variety of classes on library usage. Our Reserves staff is waiting to help students find material for courses or loan out laptops. And we're working on making our facilities even better when it comes to group work, quiet study or access to technology.
I'd also like to point out to all Faculty that there is a Library Liaison for each Department, so please take advantage of these experts for your own research, as well as your class material.
And, of course, our online databases, journals and services are available 24 hours a day via our website.
Speaking of which, our new Library Website has launched and it's a great way to get acquainted to the many services we provide. There is also a user survey on the Library Homepage, and we're eager to receive feedback on the site.
It's all still very new to me, but I look forward to working with everyone at Hunter. Before I arrived here, I worked in libraries in the heart of Tokyo, in the Bronx surrounded by animals, and in the heart of both Theater and Agriculture. But I think Hunter tops them all. Please don't hesitate to introduce yourself. I'd like to meet everyone who uses our great resources.
Dan Cherubin
Chief Librarian, Assoc. Dean

In a previous column I extolled the virtues of custom earpieces for your radio. The advice still holds — I think custom earpieces are terrific. At the same time, I know that you might not have $125 or so in the budget to make this kind of purchase. Recently, I came across a new material that can be used to make your own custom earpiece for less than $15.
The material is called Sugru, a silicone compound supplied in foil packs of 5g each — about a wad of bubble gum. Once removed from the pack, it has the consistency of stiff modeling clay and is workable for about 30 minutes. It cures completely in 24 hours to a waterproof, temperature-stable (-60° C to 180°C or -76°F to 356°F) flexible state, kind of like hard rubber.
Because it's so easy to work with, hobbyists have been finding all sorts of applications for it, such as adding protective and slip-resistant covers for the ends of poles and wires, and repairing cables that are coming loose from electronic gadgets.
There is something of a sugru fan club on the Instructables website. Instructables is a collection of how-to-do or -make just about anything. One of the illustrated plans there shows how to make custom earpieces from sugru. In a nutshell, you form the contents of a pack of sugru around the earphone, keeping the sound channel clear, then cram the excess into your ear to make a custom mold. I highly recommend that you read the entire instruction set before you begin, as it points out the value and necessity of first coating your ear canal with Vaseline or a water-based lubricant like KY Jelly (no jokes, please) to get a better mold and ease extraction when it's set.
A couple of caveats on this process: one, it's generally not a good idea to stick things into your ears, so proceed at your own risk. Two, sugru irritates some folks' skin, and probably won't find it very comfortable having a piece of it stuffed in their ear all day. A possible remedy for the latter problem is to coat the finished ear mold with a thin layer of non-sugru silicone adhesive. That will give the earpiece a different texture, slightly more "tack," and possibly make for a protective barrier between your skin and the sugru.
Sugru is durable stuff, but it will peel off of the earphone if this doesn't work out. If you have only one radio earphone to work with, it might be best to take a trial run with a cheap set of consumer-grade earbuds, just to get the process down.
Sugru ships from the UK, so shipping costs are significant as compared to the price of the material itself. For this reason, I recommend you buy the larger "Super Hacks Super Pack" for about US$17.90 delivered. This gets you twelve 5g packs of Sugru in four different colors (if you make an earpiece for each ear, make them in different colors so you can easily tell them apart). You won't need anything close to twelve packs to try this project, but I can just about guarantee you'll either find another use for it around the house or see another sugru project on Instructables or the sugru site that you want to try.
I improved on the custom earpieces I had made for my Shure headset by using a bit of Sugru to hold the earbuds inside the silicone earpieces. The Sugru adheres nicely to the silicone of the earpieces, and serves as an excellent strain relief for the cord.

Women on Top Award Winners Video
These 18 young women are changing the world, revolutionizing their industries, and raising the bar on female achievement.
Hi! I'm Sophie Moura. I'm a senior editor at Marie Claire and we are here at the shoot for our special October issue looking at 18 of the most impressive professional women in America.
Hi Marie Claire. May name is Hannah Pingree.
This is Sheila Callaghan.
Hi Marie Claire readers. I'm Alexa von Tobel.
Hi, I'm Alanna Rutherford.
I'm Kimberly Ovitz.
Hi Marie Claire. This is Ruchi Sanghvi.
I'm Anjali Jaiswal.
I left Harvard Business School midyear to launch LearnVest. So, we're really focusing on empowering the women across the United States to control all of household spendings. We're gonna educate them on their money in a really fun and hip way and it's been pretty exciting.
I was the first female engineer at Facebook. There are a very few women in technology and I think we should be encouraging women right from school and in colleges to be studying engineering and the sciences.
I think the most important thing that I've learned, you know, moving up in politics, is just women need to take risks. They need to be confident. They need to put themselves out there and they-- they can't doubt themselves. I got elected Speaker of the House by lots of men older than me and I think the fact that they voted for me is a good sign for women and especially young women everywhere.
Whatever your passion is, go for it. It sounds like when you look at, you know, where my career is, that it's been all very well thought out, environmental science undergrad, you know, law degree. I didn't really plan it that masterfully. Instead, what I did was you take life as it comes and the opportunities that are there and make the most out of those.
I think it's just always important to have someone that gets you and is someone, you know, you can trust and lean on and just follow your-- your passion.
People ask me, "Why did you become a writer?" You know, everybody writes when they're kids and, at some point, people stop and nobody ever told me to stop, so I kept going. My career advice would be "If you love it, keep doing it".

~The Light Through My Windows~
The first light I picked was the sturbridge light. I chose the antique tin finish. It gives off a lot of light and has an extra light in the cone. I chose to hang this light in the keeping room, master bedroom, kid's bedroom, music room, and the sun room. I really like it!
The next light I chose was the saddle light. I again chose the antique tin finish. I hung this light in the halls and laundry room.
I chose to hang these lights called witches' hats in the master bathroom. They are the antique tin finish as well.
The next issue I had were our windows. The windows we had before were the white vinyl windows with the grids inside. I liked them and thought they looked great. However, soon after we moved into our house. We started noticing that the windows were getting foggy. Then we started noticing that something that looked liked mold was growing between the panes. It started out on one window and quickly spread to 13 of the 15 windows. We looked all over the windows to find a manufacturer and couldn't find anything. The windows were only about five years old. We contacted the previous owners and they had no record of where the windows came from or who made them. We contacted the builder and again hit a dead end. This went on for over a year. In the meantime, the windows got increasingly worse. Final we decided we would replace them.
By this time I knew that I wanted to paint our house with the Colonial colors so I chose windows that were vinyl on the outside and wood on the inside. I also wanted the windows to have grids on the outside of the panes. I did not want the grids to be removable. This made painting more difficult, but I love the way they turned out.
As I type this post, my mom is making curtains for all the windows. You will have to check back to see how they turn out.
Thank you for visiting Yesterday Once More. I appreciate you stopping by and I hope you will come back as often as you can. Never forgot, "If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
All My Best,

Woman killed while helping other driver
Updated On: Dec 17 2012 10:11:49 PM EST
A woman who stopped to help the driver of a disabled vehicle on the Buckman Bridge was killed Sunday night, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
A Honda and Toyota were parked on the shoulder with emergency flashers activated. The Honda was disabled and the driver of the Toyota stopped to help.
Paul Fort, 41, was driving a Ford F-150 truck northbound on the Buckman Bridge shortly after 6:00 p.m., troopers reported.
Fort and the Honda driver sustained minor injuries but refused medical treatment and transport.
Fort traveled onto the shoulder and hit the rear of the Toyota, according to the FHP report. The driver of the Toyota, 21-year-old Lyanne Vera, was transported to Orange Park Medical Center and pronounced dead.
"She always tried to help people, poor people, animals; she was an angel," said Ana Vera as she remembers her daughter Lyanne.
"My understanding is she came to help a friend and among her group of friends she was noted for doing that," said Vera's father, Lawrence. "Vera was just being a Good Samaritan on the Buckman Bridge helping out a stranded friend in the emergency lane when a driver pulled into the lane and didn't slow down."
Devastated by Vera's loss, her family said they will wait on the Florida Highway patrol to determine if the crash that took Lyanne's life was in fact criminal negligence or just an accident.
Sgt. Dylan Bryan points out there are often crashes that happen on the busy bridge that involve motorists stuck in the emergency lane, but he says the lanes are just as wide as any other bridge in the state of Florida.
"The emergency stopping areas on the left and right shoulders are normal lane width, which can be anywhere from 10 - 12 feet in length," said Sgt. Bryan.
Vera's family said they don't blame the bridge for her death, they just hope to get answers soon.
"It ended tragically, but she was still lending a hand," said Vera's brother, Jamie. "All her friends remember her for that and they could always count on her."
The Buckman Bridge was blocked for approximately 3.5 hours Sunday night. Charges are pending, according to FHP.

La Grand Place, Arras
Arras, the town renowed for its tapestries of the late Middle Ages, holds a spectacular Christmas market on the splendid Grand Place. Around 60 exhibitors offer a wide selection of arts and crafts, as well as local delicacies.

More About Arras
The capital of Artois is a very busy town and there is a lot to see in the centre with the flemish style houses and shops. Central Arras looks so much the historic part, so well restored, that it is hard to imagine the war damage from which it suffered.
The town spent its accumulated wealth on its 16th century Gothic town hall - Hôtel de Ville (rebuilt in a slightly less grandiose style after the war) and on adorning its two squares, the Grand' Place and the Place des Heros, with the dignified Flemish gabled houses.
Many of Arras's most notable structures, including the museum and several government buildings, occupy the site of the old Abbaye de Saint-Vaast. The abbey's church was demolished and rebuilt in fashionable classical style in 1833, and now serves as the town's cathedral. The abbey now houses the Musée des Beaux-Arts which contains a motley collection of paintings, including a couple of Jordaens and Brueghels, fragments of sculpture and local porcelain. Only one of the tapestries or arras that made the town famous in medieval times survived the world war bombardments. In the 14th and 15th centuries Arras was a thriving textile town. The industry specialised in fine wool tapestries which were sold to decorate palaces and castles all over Europe.
There are a couple of memorials nearby worth a visit:
- The Vimy Memorial - memorial commemorating a major World War I battle, the Battle of Vimy Ridge won by Canadian army, the only victory the Allies would enjoy during their 1917 spring offensive. The Battle of Vimy Ridge was part of the broader Allied offensive in April known as the Battle of Arras.
- The Basilica of Notre Dame de Lorette, overlooking the nearby village of Ablain-Saint-Nazaire, likewise stands before one of France's largest World War I necropolises.
- CWGC Cemetery and Memorials - memorial to the Flying Services including the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force (RNFS, RFC and RAF) from the World War I.
Dates and info of the markets shown on this website are subject to change, so please check before making arrangements or travelling.

Getting there
Suggested Travel Routes
Choosing to travel by train to France is a simple option. It's fast and cost effective and also allows you to enjoy the beautiful French countryside. With a great rail network in place, it has never been easier to get to France by train. Book Eurostar and TGV tickets.
As a foot passenger from the UK to Arras:
By Train: To get to Arras by train from the UK you can take the Eurostar to Lille and then change platforms for the 30-minute journey to Arras by TGV. From as little as £55 return, you can take Eurostar direct from St Pancras International in London to Lille, in under 2 ½ hours. Trains run regularly departing London from 7am and the last return journey 9.13pm from Lille, Monday to Sunday. Connections can also be picked up from Ashford or Ebbsfleet. Book Eurostar and TGV tickets.
By Plane: Arras has no direct flights from Britain so to get to Arras by air you will need to fly via Brussels and take the train or go to Beauvais-Tillé airport, about 75km southwest of Arras. It is worth checking online to find out which airlines are offering the best deals at the time. Book cheap flights to France.
Taking your car from the UK to Arras:
By Train: take your car on Eurotunnel from Folkstone, Kent direct to Calais in France. Journey time is about 35 minutes and the cost varies but is around £55 day trip return for a car and 5 passengers.
By Boat: It is usually cheaper to take a car over to France by boat, because the journey takes longer. Operators such as Seafrance and P&O offer regular ferry trips across the channel, with prices ranging from around £30 for a return day trip. Book a ferry to France.
If travelling by car the A26 motorway will get you to Arras from the coast. The drive from Calais to Lille is just over the hour. Then about 45 min drive to Arras itself.

Hermanus is the pretty southern coast town on Walker Bay in the Western Cape, known internationally for its whale watching history and tourism. The whaling exhibitions at the Old Harbour Museum will give visitors the background to whale activities in Hermanus, while whale watching can be done from the shore between June and December. Cage diving with great white sharks is also popular in the area, as well as water sports like yachting and kayaking.
Hermanus is approximately an hour's drive from Cape Town, yet is far more tranquil, peaceful and personal than the Mother City. It's worth your while to take advantage of Hermanus apartments for your holiday stay, but there is one particular apartment in Hermanus that stands out: 113 Bayview.
113 Bayview is a beautiful Eastcliff apartment situated just above Walker Bay, giving residents a wide panoramic vista of the bay and the stunning blue ocean. This is a prime whale watching spot – simply open the frameless windows to really bring the picturesque ocean view into the living room. The apartment is truly private with no access from the bay. Residents can take a relaxing stroll to the shopping centre, which has a small but variable selection of shops and restaurants, or a short drive to the Hermanus CBD for more variety, or to the golf course for some time on the fairway.
This three-bedroom luxury apartment allows for a maximum of six guests over a minimum stay of five nights; the preferred accommodation period is two to four weeks. There are three seasonal packages, ranging from R1 500 per night for up to two weeks, or R4 700 per week for two to four weeks or more during the Shoulder Season and Whale Season. During summer, expect to pay more for this luxury Hermanus apartment in peak season.

if i have recently taken out a loan, can i still file bankruptcy
Question Details: in the process of trying to settle a debt i took out a small personal loan with my car as colat. the car is paid for. i was unable to settle the debt. can i still file for bankruptcy even though the loan is new
M.D., Member, California And New York Bar / FreeAdvice Contributing Attorney Answered 5 years ago| Contributor
If a debtor purchases any single item for more than $500 within 90 days of filing, the presumption that the debt was incurred fraudulently and therefore non-dischargeable. Additionally, this is a secured debt so you will still be liable for the loan; if you don't pay, then your car can be repossessed.

The Christopher Raeburn Remade in England Bivouac Bag and Mesh Bomber Jacket for spring/summer '13, seen here in olive.
Continuing his exploration of military fabrics, the innovative English designer has created this unique bomber jacket from deconstructed waterproof military bivouac bags. Crafted in Christopher's East London studio and produced in very limited numbers, this piece from the designer's Remade in England collection is 1 of only 50 produced.
Offering a take on the classic bomber jacket shape, this individual garment features a waterproof chest section offset by mesh sleeves, a mesh back, and is finished with grey ribbed cuffs, collar and hem. The jacket is a mixture of classic bomber jacket features - the map pocket on the arm and sturdy Riri zips - and new innovations, such as the interesting construction on the rear, including another zipped pocket.
As an exploration of deconstructed and reconstructed, the star of the show is the hardwearing and technical material that the jacket is constructed from. A patch inside the jacket gives details about the fabric's derivation. According to Christopher, bivouac bags are used by the British military to replace the need for traditional tents. As a result, the fabric is lightweight, breathable and waterproof.
Made in England from 100% nylon please machine wash cool.

Major earthquake shakes Fiji
Interested in syndicating BNO News articles? Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
From the BNO Newsroom.
SUVA, FIJI (BNO NEWS) -- A major but deep earthquake shook the Fiji Islands on Monday evening, according to seismologists.
The epicenter of the tremor was located about 67 miles from Fiji's capital, Suva. No strong damage is expected as the earthquake struck about 357 miles deep, making it an extremely deep earthquake. Shallow earthquakes often tend to cause more serious damage, and increase the risk of a destructive tsunami.
A spokeswoman for the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake measured about 7.2 on the Richter scale, making it a major earthquake. The spokeswoman said damage from the earthquake is expected to be minimal.
No tsunami warnings were issued following the earthquake, which struck at 10.45 p.m. local time. "A destructive tsunami was not generated based on depth of earthquake," a bulletin from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center read.

Eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of canned ones. The average U.S. household of four buys about 450 pounds of canned fruits and vegetables per year (although some of this weight is the can itself and liquid the food is swimming in). If instead you purchased an equivalent amount of fresh seasonal fruits and veggies, you could save $225 per year or more. The growing, processing, packaging, and transport of canned goods consumes many times more energy than the production of fresh varieties. Additionally fresh produce tends to have better flavor and is more versatile when it comes to preparing meals. Try to buy canned products only for long-term or emergency storage.
Shift It Tip: If you can't find fresh varieties of the produce you're looking for, check out the freezer section. Frozen fruits and vegetables have more flavor and nutrition than canned ones.

And, although YouTube is frequently used by businesses as their online vehicle, in the words of DMB, "there's a price to be paid" for that choice -- in other words, "free" is not really free (as I have also written before).
First, there is the fundamental issue of quality -- quality should be "job 1" for all businesses using online video as video quality is a direct reflection of your business; and, let's face it, YouTube ain't got it (compare videos on YouTube to videos encoded and published on our 360 video platform as an example).
Second, in the words of DMB, "every video seeded onto YouTube has the site's ubiquitous watermark stamped across the image." Moreover, "Until the YouTube juggernaut shifts course, companies needing control over their brands [which should be every company], the look and feel of their video players [again, everyone] ... must look to video hosting and distribution services outside the free video-sharing networks."
Quite simply, YouTube and other so-called "free" sites really are too costly to your business ...

Judge Sweeny stated that there is a fund of money available that the board is deciding to appropriate. If you agree that funds should be used to establish a mental health court in Solano County, please let the supervisors know.
Presently, the Claybank Jail facility is being expanded to accommodate Solano County citizens found guilty of crimes; many who are mentally ill are being tried with the general population. There is no shortage of citizens and unions to support the criminal justice system and corrections.
Many of the people in our jails are mentally ill and keeping them in a cell all day does not address their problems and is not cost-efficient, as the mental health disease is advanced by lack of human contact and proper counseling. A mental health court would implement systems to support the needs of the mentally ill. This would be more cost-effective in the long run for the taxpayers.

Since I tried this blend, it is all I have been smoking. It is right now my favorite blend. I absolutely love this stuff. It is mild gives no tongue bite is a little of a pain to keep lit --- but in my opinion the flavor is outstanding. Think sweet caramel and you got it . not sickening sweet but a deliciousness you will be going back to again and again. This is pure smoking enjoyment. You will not get a nicotine rush from this but if you enjoy aromatics as I do for the most part, you should give this one a try.

In a nutshell, I'm addicted to this stuff! Tastes of chocolate and vanilla and smells as good as it tastes. Its very similar to MacBaren's 7 Seas Black, but slightly sweeter to my tastes.
Maybe I've just smoked English blends so much for so long that my tastes are changing or I'm just now discovering a few aromatics that I actually like. Regardless, Dansk Black will have a permanent place in my cellar.

Peter Stokkebye - Dansk Black (No.47)
As someone blessed/cursed with a sensitive nose, I've never been a big fan of aromatics in general, because they're usually unbalanced and overpowering. Restraint and subtlety seems sadly uncommon among such offerings, regardless of industry (tobacco, liquor, soaps, deodorants, room fresheners, candles, etc.)
Enough soapboxing. So, as someone who normally eschews aromatics, what is it that drew me to Dansk 47, you ask ? Answer: it has earned honest stars from many sources - not only good quality and value, but blendability, and (most importantly) balance and restraint in a category already crowded with highly aromatized excesses, sold in bulk, from a plethora of sources. Vanilla is, after all, THE single most ubiquitous aromatic there is in the tobacco universe, to the point where it's almost impossible to say the word "cavendish" without first mumbling "vanilla".
DB47 is more noteworthy for the common sins it avoids, rather than for any one thing it does particularly well. The moisture level for instance is just right - neither too gummy/sticky, nor too dryish. The black ribbons, although a tad longish (easily corrected with a chef knife), are springy and well behaved, pack nicely on their own, and play nicely with others in homemade blends. The tin aroma, while certainly clear, forward and unambiguous, manages to avoid being overpowering or reeking of artifice. The smoking qualities stay cool and supremely mild, while avoiding gloppiness (from excess moisture or humecants) and tongue bite (from excess alkalinity). DB47 clears these common pitfalls with ease, leaving behind most of its competitors, and it does so at a competitive price.
Could it be improved ? Oh most definitely ... but that would run contrary to its price point. In this range, there's simply no need for premium boutique vanillas, or rare burleys and virginias from distant exotic lands - they'd be too expensive, and leave the resulting blend too 'busy', and it would lose the simple inexpensive elegance that makes it what it is.
So, what's the bottom line ? This is an inexpensive, gentle, wonderfully cool and mellow black cav that gets little wrong, and a quite a few things right. It's simple, clean, balanced, reasonably restrained and uncomplicated. Its friendly to buy, friendly load, friendly to smoke, and friendly to blend. A win win.
As for the flavor particulars - there's the obvious top notes of decent quality generic vanilla, paired with a smooth and pleasant note of caramel/toffee/milkfudge. Further back in the finish I find a touch of chocolate (probably a natural character of the cavendish that may have been discreetly nudged), and perhaps the tiniest whisper of cherry and coffee.
There's a lot of bang for the buck here, and its earned a spot in my blending alcove. I give it 3 of 4 stars (very good), but it deserves a little more. I wish this site used a 5 star system so I could give it 4 (excellent). Add a FULL star if you're an aromatic fan on a budget.

My hunt for the perfect black cav blend is over. This is a perfect example of a harmonious smoke. Tastes great, like caramel, mild licorice, cocoa, and a really nice black Cavendish flavor that isn't hidden under the casing. It all melds perfectly. I am very impressed and will be keeping this in my rotation. Perhaps this isnt for everyone but I believe even people who dont normally smoke aros would appreciate this.

The real question here is, how do you like your BC's? Do like 'em with flavor or do you like them smooth? Or, perhaps, you like them with both flavor and smoothness. Well, if you like both, you're not getting them here. Dansk Black is smooth, really smooth, so smooth I couldn't taste anything. It's smooth, hot air, with a pleasant scent (but, who cares about scent? Not I. I smoke for myself, not others). So, the answer to my question is, I like Black Cavendish blends with a good amount of flavor, like Lane's BCA or Mac Baren's 7 Seas Black. Two stars here for me.
