Barnes & Noble sued Amazon on May 12, 1997, alleging that Amazon's claim to be "the world's largest bookstore" was false because it "...isn't a bookstore at all. It's a book broker." The suit was later settled out of court and Amazon continued to make the same claim.[36] Walmart sued Amazon on October 16, 1998, alleging that Amazon had stolen Walmart's trade secrets by hiring former Walmart executives. Although this suit was also settled out of court, it caused Amazon to implement internal restrictions and the reassignment of the former Walmart executives.[36]

Premium TV Deals - Amazon was the winner when it came to the cheapest possible TV deals, but Best Buy offered higher quality TV deals. Last year, it sold a Sharp 50-inch 4K TV for $179.99 (review deal) and a 55-inch Toshiba 4K UHD TV for $279.99 (review deal). Factoring in price and quality, those were arguably the top two TV deals of the year. Unfortunately, both TVs were available in-store only, but it was well worth the trip if getting the best deal was your goal.

Use Amazon Smile to give back to charity when you shop. You can choose an organization dear (or local) to you and shop as normal. However, it's important to note that only about 0.5% of every purchase makes its way to charity, and you might do more good by giving more tangibly elsewhere. However, if you don't let shopping through Amazon Smile negate all the good you would have done otherwise, it's a great way to maximize your shopping.

As I sit on a plane with my husband, sipping coffee, resting our eyes, conversing over random topics like future family vacations, I think to myself, "This feels good. I hope everyone takes adult vacations."
I actually found it surprising that when I told people we were heading to Boston the first question seemed to be, "Is Jensen going with you?" I get it, but it also caught me off guard. In no way would I have booked this trip with just us and our 2.5 year old son. Paying to tote our child across the country only to parent just as we would at home does not sound ideal. I'd rather just keep it local, sleep in our own beds, avoid the travel hassle and avoid the added costs for family memory making that – at this point – he won't really remember anyway. Let me tell you, there isn't a thing in Boston that would bring any more joy than the zoo or ball pits of Austin, Texas.
I'm 100% comfortable with leaving my kid for a few days, though. And I'm lucky to have family resources to be able to do that.
At two and a half weeks old, my mom watched my son while I was at a rehearsal dinner and then a wedding the next night. At one month old, our son had his first local overnight stay while we attended a Christmas party. At two months, he stayed his first weekend with grandparents who live 2.5 hours away. At three months, I packed up and headed to Vegas for a weekend bachelorette trip.
I now realize that this approach may not be the norm, that my ability to trust and detach is pretty much on the opposite end of those who cannot detach, and that there is more of a middle lane that people tend to stay in. But I need a healthy dose of separation. I need to regularly reset, refresh and recharge to be my best self. I need to maintain my sense of self-identity and independence. I am 100% pro-adult vacation, and that means sans kids.
Other added benefits to adult vacationing?
- My husband and I get actual uninterrupted quality time.
- We get to soak up all of the potential a vacation destination has to offer.
- The people on the plane are spared of our wild, very emotional, sometimes cooperative child.
- Grandparents and family get to spend one-on-one, Mom-is-not-here-to-judge time with our son.
- Our schedule can be as flexible as we want it to be.
- We can stay up late and then SLEEP IN!
- Returning home is even more worth it.
Don't get me wrong, I am also pro-family trip, but I prefer those to be via car, with more control of our travel situation, with other friends or family in long-distance situations, or just closer to home without. And maybe when we have older children, we can upgrade to flying on a plane.
So my call to parents: if you can dig deep down and also have the resources to do it, plan yourself an adult vacation – with your husband, with your friends, whoever that may be. It may be tough, especially if you have a hard time letting go, but I can only imagine you will appreciate the time. You will come back refreshed, and the pure excitement of seeing your kiddo(s) again after a little time away is priceless. I PROMISE on this one.
If you need to take small steps, try a staycation or get a hotel room for the night.

If you mean a command line option in Python, then all I can say is "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" To me such a thing would just push Python closer to C/C++, where working with compiler switches almost constitutes learning a second language in and of itself. The ability to type in simply "python myprog.py" for just about every program and have it run is something that should not be sacrificed for any price, I think. I have concerns about the existence of options like -U and even -O which have the potential to jeopardize this simplicity. So I think adding an option for case-sensitivity would surely destroy the "ease of execution" for good. If such an option were added it wouldn't take long for thousands of lines of case-insensitive code to be distributed. Soon any time anybody wanted to post code on here they'd have to specify whether or not it has to be compiled with case-sensitivity turned on. Case-insensitivity isn't necessarily a bad idea but I think if it's going to be done a more concrete solution needs to be found. A command line option just sounds like a quick-fix idea to me. Hmmmmmm...how about: from __alternativestyles__ import caseinsensitivity Anybody who has the patience to type that in at the start of every program is automatically qualified to use case-insensitivity in my book, because I'd be the first to flunk this test. :-) -- ====================================================================== Paul Sidorsky Calgary, Canada paulsid at home.com http://members.home.net/paulsid/

Warning signs are to be erected near a junction on the N20 where two US tourists were killed and where two more escaped with their lives in almost identical crashes.
The section of road through the Waterloo junction near Blarney, north of Cork City, is also due to be resurfaced within weeks, providing an opportunity to review road markings.
However, longer-term safety measures are being considered as part of a review of Garda analysis of accidents at the junction.
The news emerged a day after the Irish Examiner highlighted safety pleas from two US women — one whose father died in a crash at the junction and the other who escaped with minor injuries from a crash at the same location which has left her partner in hospital.
Diana Baker, whose father, Jim, 62, from Ohio, was one of two US tourists killed last September as they followed satnav directions to turn right at the Waterloo junction for Blarney, described the news as "fantastic".
Judy Dinehart, from Minnesota, who escaped with minor injuries from a crash there just two weeks ago in which her partner, Daniel Pilarski, was seriously injured, as they too followed satnav directions, said it was a wonderful first step. However, she said that, in the long-term, the right turn off the N20 at this junction should be blocked.
Damian Boylan, a Fine Gael representative in Blarney, who spearheaded a petition for safety upgrades, released correspondence from Cork County Council engineers last night which shows that the council is liasing with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) engineers
Mr Boylan said it was a great start.
"The ultimate aim should be delivering the M20 but, in the medium term, I want that right turn eliminated," he said. "It will add five or 10 minutes on to some journeys but it will save lives."

Women Impact Strategy – Year End Performance
The Women Impact Strategy finished 2016 strong, outperforming the Russell 3000 Index by 1.88% net of fees since the strategy's inception on April 7, 2016. As we look forward to our 1-year anniversary in the strategy, we are quite excited by this early performance.
The portfolio is comprised of fifty stocks, purchased at equal weight, and mirrors the sector weighting of the Russell 3000 Index. These companies have a minimum of 20% female board members and at least one woman in the executive suite. The portfolio average is 30.4% female board members and 26.0% female executives. Four of the companies are run by female CEOs and seven have a female Chairman of the Board.
In addition to screening for gender diversity, we look to buy companies we believe can outperform the market. We evaluate companies based on their size, value, and profitability. The Women Impact Strategy offers a potential first-movers advantage and is intended to provide the benefit of social impact with competitive returns.
View the 4th Quarter Fact Sheet for the Women Impact Strategy:
Impact of Women in Corporate Leadership
Despite a plethora of academic research on the benefits of gender diversity in groups, corporations are painfully slow in adding women to their boards. The main question for investors, however, is whether the presence of women on boards improves stock performance. In order to answer this question, we evaluated the companies in the S&P500 Index in 2006 and tracked their performance for 10 years.
We looked at the gender makeup of the boards of companies in the S&P500 Index and tracked their stock performance over a ten-year period. We then divided the stocks into portfolios with zero women, one or more women, and more than 25% women on their boards. The results are fascinating, although not necessarily surprising given the breadth academic research on the benefits of cognitive diversity in teams.
These results do not imply that one gender is superior to the other, but that the combination of both genders has the potential to unlock value in publicly traded stocks.

The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same
As I am sure you have heard by now, Bob Dylan was recently awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature and that the award has stirred much debate. In fact, to add to the controversy, the Swedish Academy that awards the prize, after many failed attempts, gave up trying to reach Dylan to notify him of the prestigious honor. No doubt, Dylan's lyrics, which were poetic and never shied away from controversy, will long be remembered for the impact they had on our world. Perhaps, at least for me, his most meaningful verse was in the song, "The Times They Are A-Changin'." "If your time to you / Is worth savin' / Then you better start swimmin' / Or you'll sink like a stone / For the times they are a-changin'."
This lyric stands out to me because of the simple fact that we do live in an ever-changing world. Our ability to adapt to change is the key to not sinking like a stone. As an investment advisor assisting retirement plan sponsors and participants, I look for ways to help clients deal with the imminent changes on the horizon. Currently, the retirement plan industry faces significant change driven by the Department of Labor (DOL). In April of 2017, the DOL will begin to phase in new rules requiring investment advice to be held to a best-interests standard. I will write more on this in blogs to come. Today, I want to stress that while the times will continue to change, those changes often impact how we do things. But changes do not necessarily impact what we are attempting to do and why we are doing them.
The purpose of a retirement plan is simply to help participants save for retirement. There are many reasons for the complex rules that govern the administration of a plan, but when you boil it all down, the end goal is to help participants build wealth that can be used in retirement. With that goal in mind, my logical next question, as an advisor, is how can I help clients best reach that goal? What can be done to help drive the best possible outcome for plan participants? Two things immediately jump to mind. Read more
It's Only Your Retirement,…
These days, we can hardly pick up a newspaper and not find an article about retirement. Of course, the endless articles addressing the current election often camouflage these articles. Elections, especially Presidential elections, always make for meaty reporting, but I don't have to tell you that this one seems to be over the top. However, hidden amongst the election news are important articles about how to prepare for retirement. I'd like to add a piece to that stack.
Retirement seems daunting to many because of the multitude of worries regarding money, healthcare and simply what will you do in retirement. There are too many unknowns; market returns, interest rates, future taxes, and inflation are all uncertain. All of these worries can cloud the fairly simple concept of how to save for retirement. At the risk of sounding like a cliché, I recommend that clients apply the KISS approach – Keep it Simple Stupid. You can achieve success in retirement savings by focusing on three basic factors.
1. Save as much as possible (and a little more). The amount to save will depend upon your retirement goals, but an easy back of the envelope approach is to save 12-15% of salary over a career. The single most important factor in saving for retirement is how much you save. Take full advantage of the company match (if offered) to help you reach that 12-15% goal. Compounding returns also help, which means that the earlier you start to save for retirement, the better.
2. Diversify your investments and take an appropriate amount of risk. Younger savers can afford to take higher risk in their portfolios because they have more time to weather market downturns. Riskier portfolios achieve higher expected returns over time. Investors should reduce risk as they move closer to retirement. Regardless of risk level, prudent investors should broadly diversify their portfolios globally and across asset classes.
3. Seek advice from a professional when making decisions about how much to save and how to invest your money. Retirement is the largest investment most people will make. These are extremely important decisions that have the potential to significantly impact your life. Getting them right could make the difference when it comes time to retire.
So, going back to the KISS concept, saving for retirement can be simplified into three key principles. Save as much as possible, invest smartly by taking the appropriate amount of risk and diversifying broadly and seek advice when you need it. It does not have to be more complicated unless you want it to be.
It's Smart to Use Common Sense
Just as you wonder when the bad news cycle or political campaign season will ever end, something is announced which encourages you to think positively about the future.
Recent business news included the release of Commonsense Principles of Corporate Governance, www.governanceprinciples.org . Before you quickly conclude that I need a real vacation (yes, it's scheduled), let me explain why the contents of this release are important to all of us as investors.
Everyone invested in the stock market, through individual stock holdings, mutual funds or ETFs, relies on the quality and competency of the leadership of the corporations in which they invest. This leadership comes from both boards and management, but the focus of these principles is with board leadership.
The Commonsense Principles of Corporate Governance were offered by a group of corporate leaders and institutional investors, including Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway, Jeff Immelt of GE, Larry Fink of Blackrock and Bill McNabb of Vanguard to name a few. The hope of the authors is that "our effort will be the beginning of a continuing dialogue that will benefit millions of Americans by promoting trust in our nation's public companies. "
When something goes terribly wrong at a publicly held company, how often do you hear the question "Where was the board?" Too often there is concern (sometimes justified, oftentimes not) that boards are just cronies of top management, unwilling to ask the challenging questions or overlooking their responsibilities as fiduciaries of shareholders. This sort of thinking erodes trust in the very corporations that provide economic growth and employment in our country.
The letter from the authors of the principles states "truly independent corporate boards are vital to effective governance". The principles cover best practices in a wide variety of areas from board composition to responsibilities to the public. It's a virtual handbook of good governance, and much of it is applicable to private, governmental and non-profit entities as well as public companies. It even addresses diversity on boards, stating that "diverse boards make better decisions, so every board should have members with complementary and diverse skills, backgrounds and experiences".
As an investor, I find the work of this group encouraging and applaud the leaders who participated. With the adoption of these guiding principles, we should all feel more confident of the actions of our corporate boards. How commonsense is that!
Things Can Amount To A Hill Of Beans
Have you ever bought a can of beans at the grocery store? It is pretty easy to do, right? You might be looking for baked beans or red beans, but all you have to do is look for the type you want, check the price and grab the can off the shelf. Wouldn't it be nice if all purchases were that simple? Sorry, that just isn't the case. Whether you are buying a car or opening a checking account, transactions these days can be complicated. Pricing schemes and paperwork are only a couple of the difficulties one might face.
Pricing a 401(k) retirement plan can be downright daunting, especially if you don't do so on a regular basis, which very few people do. As an advisor to 401(k) plan sponsors, I use excel spreadsheets to analyze pricing structures in order to develop apples to apples comparisons for clients. I can tell you flat out that it is nothing like buying a can of beans at the grocery. However, if you make the effort, you can get an accurate comparison and potentially reduce the fees of your plan, which effectively means more money in participants and sponsors pockets. We do this for our clients at ThirtyNorth Investments.
Many plan sponsors attempt to analyze plan fees, get about half way into it and throw up their hands in frustration. Then they return to the many other pressing matters of their organizations. At ThirtyNorth Investments, we help our clients determine exactly what and to whom they are paying fees for their plans. We do this regularly, so we know where to look.
When we begin to decide about our can of beans, we look at the three main components of plan fees:
1. Administrative costs – You might prefer Trappey's or Bush's Beans. These costs are akin to the brand of the plan and include plan record keeping, administrative (including filing of Form 5500), accounting, legal and trustee functions. Often a Record Keeper handles this entire area and charges your plan on a percentage of assets or flat fee basis. We strongly believe plan sponsors should pay a reasonable flat fee or a low asset based fee for these services. The amount of dollars in an account should not change the required administrative work.

According to The Financial Times, senior Citigroup (C) executives are very concerned that activist hedge funds may force a break up of the world's largest financial services company. Citi surged today on the news, before giving up most of the gains as the day went on. Will hedge funds really break up Citigroup?
Tim Strazzini says it's very unlikely because Ciitigroup wasn't put together to be broken apart - it was put together to take advantage of cross selling. It's a $250 billion dollar company that Tim thinks will turn around.

The heroine in action. Photo by eye-witness Wang Ronggui via Shanghai Daily.
An anonymous American woman in her 30s has won praise from Hangzhou residents for jumping into the West Lake on a rainy Thursday afternoon to save a Chinese woman attempting suicide:
Liu said he was preparing to go to the woman's aid, but before he had taken off his uniform, the foreign tourist had already dived into the water.
"When she jumped into the lake, the drowning woman was about 20 meters away from the pavilion and was sinking. I could only see her hair," Liu said. "But the foreign lady swam quickly to her, held up her chin with one hand and used the other to swim back."
"She was so professional and agile. It took her less than two minutes to swim back to the bank," he said. Liu and another foreigner, a friend of the rescuer, pulled them from the water. The rescued woman was coughing a lot, but otherwise seemed in good condition, said witnesses.
"The foreign lady dried herself with some tissues, put on her clothes and, after seeing the rescued woman was alright, left along with her friend," Liu recalled.
The Chinese woman, from Fuyang, near Hangzhou, was later picked up from the police station by her relatives.

"The global slaughtering equipment market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.56%."
The global slaughtering equipment market is estimated at USD 6.62 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 8.28 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.56% during the forecast period. One of the primary factors that drive the market is the growth of fast food and restaurant chains. The growth in demand for processed food in bulk quantities resulted in slaughtering equipment manufacturers increasing their production capacity and reducing delivery time, thereby driving the growth of the slaughtering equipment market. One of the major restraining factors for the slaughtering equipment market is market consolidation, which has been an issue in the last two decades. Globally, leading slaughterhouses process a large number of livestock owing to their high production capacity slaughtering equipment; this results in low cost of production per unit when compared to the small and local slaughterhouses. Consequently, due to high price competitiveness, the number of small and local slaughterhouses are decreasing whereas leading players have been expanding their presence and production capacity to meet the increasing demand for meat.
"The fully-automated line segment, by automation, is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period."
The fully-automated line segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The fully automated line of operation allows slaughterhouses to produce mass high-quality meat with high speed. A majority of the new slaughterhouses are installing fully automated slaughtering lines with advanced equipment to meet the consumer demand globally.
"The line slaughter segment, by process type, is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period."
Line slaughter is ideal for abattoir operations at an early stage in the slaughtering process, which is the bleeding stage. The different types of equipment used for line slaughter for small ruminants include bleeding rail and dressing rail, whereas for bovine, the equipment used is simplified line or semi-line slaughter and continuous-line or full-line. The main advantage of line slaughter is that it is most advanced machinery used by slaughterhouses and it helps to automate the complete slaughtering process, which results in better productivity.
"North America is estimated to account for the largest market share in 2017, whereas Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period."
The North America market is projected to account for the largest share through 2023. Manufacturing industries are opting for different types of stunning, killing, cut-up, deboning & skinning, and evisceration equipment due to an increase in the consumption of processed meat such as swine, bovine, and poultry.
The Asia Pacific market is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR from 2018 to 2023. The region accounts for a substantial portion of the global demand for slaughtering equipment due to the rise in meat consumption, rise in population, and increase in awareness about quality and hygienic meat products in the region.
Break-up of Primaries:
- By Company Type: Tier 1: 35%, Tier 2: 45%, and Tier 3: 20%

By Le Saker Francophone for The Saker blog
The balance of power between the Gilets Jaunes (Gj) and the government/media couple is becoming tenser, while remaining, for the moment, in a kind of status quo where neither side wants to give in. The last three weeks have therefore been punctuated by Saturday demonstrations, government repression and media attacks, without anything really moving on. Here are the main news of those last 3 weeks:
The Weekly Acts of the Gj:
Demonstrations are still taking place throughout France and police repression is still very strong, well documented in social media but totally denied by the government and the main stream media. On their side they try to denounce the Gj violence but they have few videos to show it then they have to manipulate the facts to make the population believe that the Gj are violent or that their number is declining.
Act 15 ((February 23rd). According to a new report by the Ministry of the Interior "at 7pm, 46,600 yellow vests demonstrated in France on Saturday, while the union Policiers en colère spoke of 200,000 at 3.30pm".
Act 16 (March 2). The war of the figures keep on. In total, the Ministry of the Interior counted 39,300 demonstrators in France, including 4,000 in Paris. The Facebook page "Le Nombre jaune", which counts the number of demonstrators, announces 92,053 people at 6 pm throughout France. But for the Minister of the Interior: "I call for responsibility. Every week 40,000, 50,000 people demonstrate. That's about as much as the spectators of an "Olympique de Marseille" football match, which means not so much people."
Act 17 (March 9). According to information provided by the Ministry of the Interior, the mobilization reached a historic low, with 28,600 demonstrators in France, including 3,000 in Paris. These figures are, as usual, subject to controversy and the "France Police-Police officers in anger" union assures that 160,000 demonstrators were mobilized at 15:45. With still the same level of police violence.
Act 18 (March 16). While the Ministry of the Interior counted 32,300 participants during act 18 of the Yellow Vests, the "France Police-Police in Anger" union talks of 290,000 demonstrators throughout France at 7:30 pm. In Paris, the police arrested 230 people, writes Reuters, referring to the report of the police prefecture, announced at 19:30. According to the agency, 106 people were taken into police custody.
Police violence
Few to add about it apart that it doesn't calm down. Here are some video proofs gleaned from social networks:
When a policeman is filmed targeting a group and stops when he sees that he is being filmed.
A woman is insulted by a policeman in a hood.
Police violence scene. A failed interpellation
Disabled Yellow vests demonstrate, but even them are subjected to police violence.
Police officers still attacking journalists
More police violence, this time against elderly people
As a result, some GJs respond to the violence by using so-called Cacatov (from the word Molotov) shit bombs.
Even an opposition member of the Parliament was bludgeoned. Main stream journalists will reproach him for having been in the middle of the demonstrations without realizing that a part of the job of deputy, a representative of the people, is to be among his electors, especially when they need him as a witness.
Act 18 has been plagued by still more violence. Looting this time. A bank burned down. A luxury restaurant too, but it seems that it was the grenades thrown by the CRS that started the fire. Major damage on the Champs Elysées.
But wouldn't this renewed violence be wanted by the government because, according to a CRS union, "We had 12 CRS companies that have been confined and compartmentalized to sanctuarize the Elysée palace (Macron's office and residence) and we have let the damage to occur in the Champs Elysées. ». The Gj wonder too. As a result, the Prime Minister's Office is obliged to recognize "some malfunctions".
Because mixing up the hooligans and the Gj is a recurrent tactic used by both the media and the government to discredit the movement in the eyes of the population who prefer to stay at home while supporting the movement. For example, according to the government spokesman, the Gj's sole objective is "to break, loot, steal, burn, attack, not to say kill, public order officials". That is a complete lie.
And a mix up well maintained by the police themselves as shown in this photo:
The level of police violence has reached such a high level that the UN is beginning to condemn it and urges France to calm things down. Another independent body is also on the same tone. Even the Financial Times, which was full of praise for Macron when he was elected. Of course, this enrage mainstream French journalists. As for Macron, he will answer with a lapidary: "I will not leave the police without any means of ensuring public order or defending themselves against people who come with weapons and with the worst intentions." Lies, once again, because no Gj has yet been caught with a weapon on him, let alone using it against the police. Another kind of lie is when he brazenly denies police violence.
Amnesty France considers the "anti-hooligans law" to be a danger to French democracy. That said, this law, applicable for act 18, did not prevent the hooligans from looting, on the contrary they ransack even more. As a reminder, this law sentences of one year's imprisonment, a fine of 15,000 euros, a ban on demonstrations and, finally, registration in the national register of persons banned from demonstrating. This penalty may apply to any demonstrator who is simply suspected of hooliganism during a demonstration.
This violence they are subjecting the Gjs to turns against the police since this is the 19th police officer committing suicide since January 1, 2019. Suicides partly due to fatigue, the 1300 years of accumulated and unpaid overtime. Even with the police, the government is not keeping its promises: "Castaner promised 33 million to the police and gendarmes. We are waiting. That's enough with the announcement effects," says Aurélie Laroussie". The government even forces them to do illegal acts.
Les Gilets Jaunes
A group called "Yellow vests special operations" launched its first action by inviting itself into a Starbuck, asking for an appointment with the director to ask him to pay his taxes in France, because the company does not pay any taxes there while the local cafés pay a lot. It is therefore unfair competition for the benefit of a foreign company, with the blessing of the state. After a broken promise of negotiations, they plan to invade more Starbucks, in all the major cities of France, to keep on the pressure.
That will be done during act 18: "Special Operation Starbucks: the return! More than 200 Yellow Vests have invaded the Avenue de l'Opéra lounge so that the multinational can explain its tax optimization (0€ of taxes). We therefore asked to be received by Pascal Laborde, Regional Director, who had promised to raise our "grievances" during the occupation of the Starbucks on the Champs-Elysées. The answer was clear: they refuse to sell us (we wanted to have coffee), they kicked us out, they closed the shop and they categorically refused to receive a delegation of Yellow Vests. The war between Starbucks and the Yellow Vests is declared! Let's prepare for a Major National Operation with planned occupations all over the country…. »
Other more symbolic initiatives are taking place, such as the one that consists of taking down the photo of the president hung on the walls of all the town halls in France. Even symbolic, "since February 21, 13 walls of the town hall have been left empty, the militants having faced "intimidation, 3 police custody, 5 searches". Or when athletes start jogging on Sundays in yellow vests
More politically, a Flash mob was held in Roissy to protest against the ongoing privatization of the major Paris airport.
Another group began to calculate exactly the amount of tax evaporation, with evidence to support it. A first estimate is around 480 billion euros per year. The equivalent of the government's budget. While the government is closing school and hospitals because it claims it has no money left.
Etienne Chouard keeps on promoting the Citizens' Initiative Referendum throughout France.
The young lawyer Francois Boulo, keeps on defending, with talent, the Gj's cause to the media who are willing to let him speak.
Another young lawyer, Juan Branco, also defends the movement after writing a book denouncing the oligarchic system that imposed Macron on France.
It seems that a still informal network of Gj is taking a whole bunch of political initiatives, at the local level to start, and try to take over the political reins in their hands. It will certainly take time, until the new generation arrives, to see the effects at the country level. But the seeds, and the hope that goes with it, are sown thanks to the Gj movement.
The latest initiative launched to change the situation, some Gjs are requesting a meeting with Macron. Will it be granted? Not likely because it is clear that he prefers to repress rather than to hear.
The reactions of the Government/media couple
The French intelligence agency is overwhelmed by the yellow vests phenomenon. Previous governments had made them focus on terrorism, so they lost links with the traditional French social fabric. They are blind with the Yellow vest phenomena.
They also contradict Macron. "The French President had mentioned "the contribution of a foreign power", in particular Russia, which, "through Russia Today or Sputnik, emerges in his speech". According to the Mediapart newspaper, these "very surprising remarks" contradict the information provided by the French intelligence services during the same period. It may therefore be an attempt to "mask the fact that there is a problem in the country". Mediapart points out that the DGSI [the FBI equivalent, NdT] concluded that the "ultra-right scene" was "almost non-existent in the demonstrations". The intelligence services also indicated that the "ultra-left" was also "involved to a limited extent in a movement perceived as populist and reactionary". Regarding Mr Macron's accusations against Moscow, the media claims to have recently gathered evidence that "DGSI and DGSE have still not found any trace of Russian interference". Mediapart even evokes the "astonishment" of a high-ranking French intelligence official when he discovered Emmanuel Macron's words. What statistics did the President rely on when he referred to these thousands of "ultras militants" and this alleged Russian interference? Solicited on March 7 by Mediapart, the Elysée palace did not respond…"
Growls in the justice system because of the pressure from the executive side. The judges' union denounces a violation of "the fundamental principles of an investigation". The instructions given in January by the Paris Public Prosecutor, Rémy Heitz, appointed by Macron, to the members of the public prosecutor's office concerning the Yellow Vests, were to favor the lifting of police custody on Saturday evening or Sunday morning only, even if the case is closed without further action, and to register the persons held in police custody in the criminal records processing (TAJ) file. "It is an infringement of personal freedom to keep people in custody even if they will not be prosecuted, and to keep them deprived of their liberty for several hours, or even the following night, for pure law enforcement purposes. We're on a hijacking of the object of custody. Similarly, when you ask for a record on people who you know are not guilty of a serious offence," Vincent Charmoillaux, national secretary of the Syndicat de la magistrature, told France info.
All the tricks being good, even the most crude, the government claims to have defended the Gj against…a terrorist attack. Looks like another lie.
Once again, the government's spokesperson is making a fool of himself. When asked about a book written by Francois Ruffin, one of the few MPs who dares to publicly affirm his support for the Gj, he replied: "This book exudes hatred all over the pages" and then ends the interview with "I don't intend to buy this book and even less read it". We remember that he had already said the same kind of crap about the Senate committee's report on the Benalla affair.
As for the Minister of the Interior, he is no more up to the task since he is being interviewed behind the wheel of a car, driving without a belt, whereas French laws require the wearing of a belt and prohibit the use of a microphone for mobile phone while driving. If he wanted to remind the French, who know it only too well, that the government feels above the law, he has done well.
As for the media, the rare times they invite Yellow vests or personalities to defend them, it is to break them publicly. One example among others where the presenter says to the Gj guest who complains that he is constantly being cut off: "No, you are not the only one, you have as much speaking time as the others and if, frankly, that does not suit you, the door is here". So the Gj just came out.
Anyway, the Gj may lose the battle of the plutocratic media but they are winning the battle of the social media.
And here we are, on March 19, 2019, the day after Act 18, the Prime Minister announced: "We will ban the demonstrations of the Yellow Vests in the most affected districts, the Champs-Élysées in Paris, Place Pey-Berland in Bordeaux and Place du Capitole in Toulouse", announced the Prime Minister, promising to proceed "to the immediate dispersion of all the gatherings". This shows that the government is determined not to make any concessions, not to listen and even less to dialogue with the Gj. The Prefect of Police has been replaced, the forces in Paris will be placed under unified command, new methods will be used, including drones, weapons and videos, according to the Prime Minister. In short, total war has been declared. So, will the Gjs surrender or will it only strengthen their resolve? I'll bet on the later.
Well, we have the answer on March 20 when, in response to the Prime Minister's threats saying" I wish not only that there would be criminal proceedings, but they would also have to pay for the damage", one of the leaders of the movement replied" It is also clear that citizens would have no reason to take to the streets if your policy were designed for people, not for finance. All this breakage and outburst of anger could have been largely avoided" and the other leader "I wish for everyone that this government would be quickly stopped and that the destruction of our country by elites sold to capital and shareholders would stop as soon as possible. I won't give up anything."
The political situation in France
7 deputies of the party that supports Macron, LREM, left the party because, according to one of them, "The majority of my colleagues have a relationship with Emmanuel Macron as a guru. They are bewitched and have lost all critical thinking about what the president says and does". Another complains that "Within LREM, it was difficult to decipher and criticize a law, it was necessarily good because it came from the government […] We observe a lack of consideration of deputies and the legislative power, and therefore a failure to respect our institutions". Another, excluded from the group for voting against a law proposed by Macron, states that "It was always the heads of the group who told us what to vote for."
On the eve of the elections of the European Parliament, a truncated parliament whose role is more consultative than legislative, a survey shows us that 72% of French people are not satisfied with the functioning of the European Union.
One of the reasons for this dissatisfaction is shown by this news: "While Coca-Cola has been appointed to sponsor the EU Presidency by Bucharest from 1 January, the consumer NGO Foodwatch considers that "in doing so, the soda giant places itself at the heart of the power, the European institutions". She has launched a petition to end this partnership." The fight against junk food is likely to get more complicated for Europeans.
Another reason for this dissatisfaction is clearly shown in this piece of the newspaper Le Figaro, which shows that the demands of the Gj are impossible to put in place as long as France remains in Europe. "For Coralie Delaume, if the claims of the Yellow Vests are legitimate, their application cannot be made without calling into question the functioning of the European Union. As the treaties stand, Member States can no longer pursue sovereign economic and trade policies," she explains.
So, to make all these grievances forgotten, and on the eve of European elections where his party is in a bad position, Macron proposes his project for Europe. A hollow project that has been welcomed with disdain by Germany and other European countries. It is not only French that has lost their respect for Macron, the other Europeans too.
Then, to satisfy the wealthy who made him president, Macron continued to strip the country's heritage. The privatization of Paris Airport has been secretly voted "on the night of March 15-16" by the 45 MPs present, on 577 MPs. "During the debates, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan and Adrien Quatennens had, between the lines, suspected the government of favoritism against a "investment banker who joined En marche !". [Bernard Mourad, support of Emmanuel Macron in 2017]" notes the daily." A group of Gj met a group of deputies opposed to this privatization. Or they demonstrated in front of the national assembly against this privatization made to the nose and beard of the French people, in the midst of a popular revolt.
And then, on March 15, it was the end and closing of the great debate. For the moment nothing has come out of it because the "great debate" has turned out to just be a "great monologue". Moreover, since the Gj do not believe in Macron's "great debate", they organized their own and here is the result. No less than 128 proposed political decision-making proposals, concerning the renewal of democratic institutions, the economy and purchasing power, ecology, transport, education, immigration… The result of this work clearly shows that the Gj do a much better and more effective political job than the government.

About my writing
I write prose fiction, both short stories and novels.
I grew up in an old house in Northumberland where the bookshelves were still full of Edwardian children's books. I was an avid reader and devoured the Children's Encylcopedia, Grimms Tales, Struwelpeter, the Adventures of Robin Hood, Andrew Lang's Fairy Books – Blue, Green, Crimson and many more. The Convent I attended added a Catholic perspective with the Life of St Bernadette and many more miracle stories. When I was exiled to boarding school I turned story-teller myself and kept the dormitory awake far into the night.
Now, many lives later and back in Northumberland, I have started telling stories again. When I started to explore the history of Anglo-Saxon Northumbria and of its favourite saint and his community, I discovered a rich vein of fascinating and little-known traditions. I felt they had to be told.
A preoccupation in my writing is to do with the liminal – with thresholds between past and present, between the immanent world and the transcendent. I am interested in the way the distant past continues to be present to us today, and in the spiritual presence of place. In the lives of my characters, I seek to focus on dreams, insights and experiences that transcend the apparently mundane rhythms of life.

Bicycling at Night
For good reason, North Carolina state law (§ 20-129.e) requires bicycles operated at night to be equipped with a white headlamp in front and rear reflector plus red lamp or reflective garment in back. Never ride at night without a headlamp and a rear lamp. Although most bicycles are sold with small "toy" reflectors, these are terribly inadequate for safe night cycling. The car-bike collision rate is several times higher at night than during daylight, but the vast majority of these crashes involve cyclists operating without proper nighttime equipment and can be easily prevented.

Scope of corporate governance: |
Corporate governance is "the system by which companies are directed and controlled". It involves regulatory and market mechanisms, and the roles and relationships between a company's management, its board, its shareholders and other stakeholders, and the goals for which the corporation is governed. In contemporary business corporations, the main external stakeholder groups are shareholders, debt holders, trade creditors, suppliers, customers and communities affected by the corporation's activities. Internal stakeholders are the board of directors, executives, and other employees.
Corporate Governance has a broad scope. It includes both social and ...view middle of the document...
It should provide effective redress for violation of rights.
It should encourage stakeholders to assume a role in the corporation that enhances the performance of the corporation and the market;
It should provide for disclosure of information relevant to the interests of stakeholders.
Transparency, disclosure of information and audit
A corporate governance framework should ensure the full, timely and detailed disclosure of information on all material matters, including the company's financial situation, performance, ownership structure and governance.
It should include the establishment of an (internal) audit committee.
Transparency/disclosure includes disclosure of information on:
- Financial/operating results
- Ownership structure
- Members of the board of directors and management
- Quantitative and qualitative matters concerning employees and other stakeholders in the corporation
- Governance structures and policies
- Corporate targets and prospects
- Execution of unusual and complex transactions, transactions including derivative products and their level of risk
In relation to financial transparency and information disclosure, the criteria examined are the type of public disclosure standards adopted; the timing of, and access to, public disclosure; and the independence and standing of the auditor.
The board of directors
A corporate governance framework should ensure the strategic leadership of the corporation, the efficient monitoring of management by the board of directors.
Accountability of board to its corporation and shareholders.
Meetings, for example one a month; process; Chair/CEO (separation of duties and responsibilities) etc.
Non-executive members of the board
These members should form independent judgments, especially with respect to the corporation's strategy, performance, asset management and management appointments;
Non-executive members should be independent from executive members of board (e.g. family members should not be admitted) and should not have a business relationship with the corporation or any other commercial involvement that may affect their independent judgment
Interlocking directorships should be avoided.
Executive management, compensation and performance
Management compensation should be tied to the corporation's general level of profitability and overall performance.
Total compensation should be disclosed in financial statements.
Procedures for determining compensation should be disclosed.
A remuneration committee (or review committee) should be established.
Selected issues in corporate governance: regional and country experiences

WP: Jenkins (4-1) LP: Herrmann (1-5)
RINDGE, N.H.-- Senior Kim Hart (Gorham, Maine) rapped out a pair of hits and drove in three runs to lead 15th-ranked Franklin Pierce to a 10-7 Northeast-10 Conference baseball victory over Stonehill Tuesday afternoon at Dr. Pappas Field.
A game that featured at least one run in every inning saw the host Ravens (35-6, 20-2 Northeast-10) spot the visiting Skyhawks (15-21-1, 7-15-1 Northeast-10) an early 2-0 lead, as an RBI double by senior Max Vigliotti (Stamford, Conn.) followed by a run-scoring single off the bat of sophomore Nate Weber (Hanson, Mass.) staked Stonehill to the early edge. Hart's two run single, followed by a steal of home by junior Kevin Renaud (Southbridge, Mass.), capped a three-run Franklin Pierce outburst in the bottom of the first, and the Ravens added two more in the second on an RBI triple by senior Cory Shepherd (Worcester, Mass.) and a Renaud sacrifice fly while tacking on a single tally in the third on an RBI double by freshman Kevin Rivers (Bristol, Conn.).
The Skyhawks closed back to within two at 6-4 in the fourth on an RBI single by senior Tom Aldrich (New Canaan, Conn.) and an RBI groundout by senior Adam Pardo (Hanover, Mass.), and the two teams traded runs in the fifth and sixth, with Franklin Pierce scoring in the bottom of the fifth on a Hart RBI single and Stonehill countering in the sixth on Pardo's RBI single. The Ravens extended their lead to 10-5 with three runs in the seventh on RBI singles by Shepherd and junior Tyler Bishop (Milford, N.H.) that followed an RBI triple off the bat of sophomore Cliff Hicks (Merrimack, N.H.), and the Skyhawks closed out the scoring with single runs in the eighth on Aldrich's RBI double and in the ninth on Weber's run-scoring groundout.
Hart, Rivers, Hicks, Bishop, Shepherd and senior Jake Christman (Newton, Mass.) each had two hits as part of a 15-hit attack in the win for Franklin Pierce, as senior Clay Jenkins (Easton, N.H.) picked up his fourth win in five decisions in relief for the Ravens. Aldrich went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI in the setback for Stonehill, which also received two hits from Pardo as part of a 10-hit attack. Senior Chris Herrmann (Chelmsford, Mass.) fanned six over 6 2/3 innings of work in taking the setback on the mound for the Skyhawks.
Stonehill and Franklin Pierce will close out their two-game Northeast-10 set on Thursday afternoon at Gorman Field beginning at 3:30 p.m., as the Ravens will first head to Springfield, Mass. on Wednesday afternoon for a Northeast-10 outing with American International that also begins at 3:30 p.m.
