Italian Popular Tales
by Thomas Crane
Italian Popular Tales List of Stories
SurLaLune Fairy Tales Main Page
THERE was once a king who had three
sons. His eyes were diseased, and he called in a physician who said that
to cure them he needed a feather of the griffin. Then the kind said to
his sons, "He who finds this feather for me shall have my crown."
The youngest met an old man, who asked him what he was doing. He replied, "Papa is ill. To cure him a feather of the griffin in necessary. And papa has said that whoever finds the feather shall have his crown."
The old man said, "Well, here is some corn. When you reach a certain place, put it in your hat. The griffin will come and eat it. Seize him, pull out a feather, and carry it to papa."
The youth did so, and for fear that someone should steal it from him, he put it into his shoe, and started all joyful to carry it to his father. On his way he met his brothers, who asked him if he had found the feather. He said, "No," but his brothers did not believe him, and wanted to search him. They looked everywhere, but did not find it. Finally they looked in his shoe and got it. Then they killed the youngest brother and buried him, and took the feather to their father, saying that they had found it. The king healed his eyes with it.
A shepherd one day, while feeding his sheep, saw that his dog was always digging in the same place, and went to see what it was, and found a bone. He put it into his mouth, and saw that it sounded and said, "Shepherd, keep me in your mouth, hold me tight, and do not let me go! For a feather of the griffin, my brother has played the traitor, my brother has played the traitor."
One day the shepherd, with his whistle in his mouth, was passing by the king's palace, and the king heard him, and called him to see what it was. the shepherd told him the story, and how he had found it. The king put it to his mouth, and the whistle said, "Papa! Papa! Keep me in your mouth, hold me tight, and do not let me go. For a feather of the griffin, my brother has played the traitor, my brother has played the traitor."
Then the king put it in the mouth of the brother who had killed the youngest, and the whistle said, "Brother! Brother! Keep me in you mouth, hold me fast, and do not let me go. For a feather of the griffin, you have played the traitor, you have played the traitor."
Then the king understood the story and had his two sons put to death. And thus they killed their brother and afterwards were killed themselves.

The behavior theory of learning has seen the teacher as the center of the learning process, and student as a passive receiver for knowledge. It has valued the need for an external stimulus to have a reaction. The goal was to transfer knowledge from the teacher to the student. The role of the student was to memorize; while the role of the teacher was to cover content (Peters, 2000; Torre, Daley, Sebastian, & Elnicki, 2006).
This theory was followed by the cognitive theory, which gave more attention to the higher cognitive levels of Blooms Taxonomy. The cognitive theory recognized the student as an active component in the learning process, and the role of the teacher has been changed to be a facilitator. The main role of the teacher is to teach the student how to learn rather than being a pure information provider. In contrast to behaviorism, the locus of learning in the cognitivist model is on the individual learner rather than on the external environment. This theory highlighted the need for knowledge to be applied, and processed in order to facilitate its storage, and retrieval from the long-term memory (Torre, Daley, Sebastian, & Elnicki, 2006; Patel, Yoskowitz, Arocha, & Shortliffe, 2009).
The constructive theory has emerged as a modification for the cognitive theory. It highlighted the need for experience to modify and add to previous understanding therefore the learners have the chance to reflect on their assumptions. The teacher role in this theory is a facilitator, who provides opportunities to expose inconsistencies between learners' current understandings and new experiences therefore providing the opportunity to develop new schemes. Therefore, learning is an active process that requires time for reflection on new experiences (Torre, Daley, Sebastian, & Elnicki, 2006; Kaufman, 2003).

In an unprecedented move to clamp down on financial flows with the country's unruly neighbor, China's biggest banks have banned North Koreans from opening new accounts.
They had imposed a freeze on new accounts for North Korean people and companies, reported the Financial Times quoting multiple bank branches, including those of the country's top four lenders. Saying they are "cleaning out" — existing accounts held by North Koreans by forbidding new deposits, some are going even further.
The theory that policy hawks in Beijing have gained the upper hand in an internal debate over whether to toughen sanctions against the Kim Jong Un regime since Pyongyang's sixth and most powerful nuclear test this month is given weight by the moves.
And even compared to what has been agreed internationally, the measures go further. a blanket ban on North Korean bank accounts is not included in the UN sanctions, which were tightened once again last month.
"The move [against North Korean accounts] benefits China as a country," said Zhang Liangui, professor of North Korean studies at the Central Party School of the Communist Party of China. "China takes sanctions very seriously."
Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Bank of Communications are among the banks implementing a ban on new accounts – the country's big five.
They had been instructed to stop opening new bank accounts for North Korean individuals or companies said branches of each of these banks in China's north-eastern border towns, where trade with North Korea is concentrated.
While some bank branches said they had been told as early as January, others said they had received notice of the freeze on North Korean accounts last month.
"Branches didn't implement the rule all at the same time but it started recently," said one branch of ABC in Dandong, the border city through which roughly 70 per cent of China's trade with North Korea flows.
"Current bank accounts held by North Koreans should be cleared out," said a representative of a branch of ICBC in Yanji, the trading hub closest to the nuclear blast site at Punggye-ri. "We implemented the restrictions long before last month's sanctions."
However, to continue doing legal business with North Korea, there were ways to get around the account ban, traders pointed out.
"We always use Chinese citizens living in North Korea as intermediaries when doing business," said one groceries trader in Dandong who wished to remain anonymous because of the political sensitivity around North Korean trade.
"There'd be no reason to freeze Chinese nationals' accounts, unless they're sanctioning individuals," he added.
Avoiding the need to have dealings between North Korean and Chinese banks, all their transactions, such as payments to North Korean staff, were made in cash in Chinese renminbi, said two Chinese businesspeople who run companies in North Korea — one of whom is based in the Chinese border town of Hunchun and one in Pyongyang, reported the Financial Times.
Concern over the use of bulk cash to evade its financial sanctions have previously been expressed by the UN Security Council.

Parents can now use Kentucky's 529 plan for K-12 tuition
FRANKFORT, Ky.—A new law going into effect July 14 will allow parents to use funds saved in a Kentucky Education Savings Plan Trust (KESPT) account to pay for K-12 tuition. KESPT is a tax-advantaged 529 savings plan designed to help families invest money for qualified education expenses.
Kentucky lawmakers amended legislation during the 2018 session to conform with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which allows for expanded use of 529 account funds. Kentucky House Bill 434 gives parents the option to withdraw up to $10,000 per year from a KESPT account to pay tuition at an elementary or secondary public, private or religious school. Tuition is defined as the quarterly or semester charges imposed to attend an educational institution and required as a condition of enrollment.
"We encourage families to start saving for educational cost while their children are young, and timing is certainly a factor if a family is saving for K-12 tuition," said David Lawhorn, KESPT program manager. "KESPT offers many advantages for Kentucky residents, and this new law gives families an opportunity to leverage those benefits for many years."
Kentucky's 529 plan provides a variety of professionally managed investment options. Not only can earnings grow tax free in a KESPT account, but withdrawals are also tax-free when used to pay for qualified education expenses. An account can be opened online at kysaves.com with $25, or $15 dollars per pay period if using automatic payroll deduction.
Parents also have the option of using KESPT's eGifting feature to invite grandparents, family and friends to make gifts to a KESPT account for maximum growth potential. Funds may be transferred to another eligible family member if the beneficiary receives a scholarship or doesn't need to withdraw the full amount saved.
Additionally, KESPT savings are not included in determining Kentucky need-based financial aid for beneficiaries of Kentucky residents who plan to attend college. (Federal and institutional aid programs may take the 529 plan account balance into consideration when determining eligibility, so account owners should check with their preferred institution and refer to the KESPT Plan Disclosure Booklet.)
For more information about KESPT, visit kysaves.com or call toll-free 1-877-598-7878. The plan is managed by TIAA-CREF Tuition Financing, Inc., a leader in 529 program management.

No public funding is used for KESPT marketing, promotions or contest awards. Funding is provided by TIAA-CREF program manager for KESPT.
Consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing in the Kentucky Education Savings Plan Trust. Please visit kysaves.com for a Plan Disclosure Booklet containing this and other information. Read it carefully. Investments in the plan are neither insured nor guaranteed and there is the risk of investment loss.

Another year of "The War on Christmas" is over...Thankfully!
But now America seems to be involved another war. This is a war that has been raging for decades with major battles being played out every November and December. On one side is the traditionalist who, in a world gone mad, desperately want to keep the CHRIST in Christmas! And on the other side are all the others who want to diversify things a bit and who, lets be honest, probably have a little to much time on their hands.
Yes, it is the yearly fights involving the "War on Christmas."
Although for the most part I find the "War"... comical, I must admit chafing a little when I would hear some major store chain banning their employees from saying, Merry Christmas. I can at least understand the argument about having a nativity scene displayed on a public ground (even if I don't agree with it.) But banning someone's speech involving a holiday greeting...mmmm, that just gets under my skin!
From 2005 till 2008 I worked at Barnes & Noble and fortunately they had no policy on the matter so typically I would wish customers a Merry Christmas. It was there that I realized that this "War" is indeed played out mostly by people with too much time on their hands as I literally wished thousands of customers "Merry Christmas" over my 3 Christmas tenure there and I had, maybe, two minor incidents where people said they didn't appreciate that. Now understand this wasn't at a Barnes & Noble tucked away all snug in the Bible Belt, no, this was Boulder, Colorado. Yes, the Boulder Colorado that didn't vote for Al Gore in 2000 because he was to conservative and where Buddhism is the religion de jour. If they weren't offended, well, it made me wonder how much "War" there really was.
I did always wonder though why there weren't more nativity scenes in major department stores?? I mean, if you are an executive for Target or Wal-Mart, you must be thanking God every fiscal sales year that a little Jewish boy was born in a Middle Eastern farm stable 2000 years ago. Come to think of it, instead of a War on Christmas in the retail sector, there should probably be big "Thank You Jesus" signs at every chain department store across America .
That reminds me again of my Barnes & Noble days. I would often have a customer look at the December bedlam in the store and comment, "Wow, it's really busy in here."
"Yeah," I would reply, "well, you know...its Kwanzaa...happens every year."
The customer would smile awkwardly as they processed that little nugget...and then move on.
But I live in Hong Kong again! I am safe from the battles! There is no "War on Christmas" over here...just Christmas. The city is decked out with Christmas trees & lights. Some buildings say "Merry Christmas" and others say, "Season's Greetings" with no venom or ill intention found in either one. The malls are filled with school choirs singing both Santa Claus is coming to Town AND Away in the Manger!
It's much more peaceful and probably a little more what Jesus had in mind!

Matinee Show: 2:30pm
Evening Show: 7:30pm
Co-Produced by Navrasa Duende and Royal Russian Ballet
Swan Lake is the most beloved and quintessential classical ballet. It is a timeless story of good versus evil. From the first yearning bars of Tchaikovsky's score, it beckons you to another world, with its bewitched swan queen, doomed prince, glittering villainess and drifts of white tutus. Beautifully crafted and sensually romantic, it is simply stunning. Adored by audiences for over a hundred years, Swan Lake is the most famous ballet in the world. The sublime transcendence of choreography that has been passed down generations after generations is unmatched, and the music of Tchaikovsky is never more attuned to the struggles of the heart than in this poignant work. The twinned role of the radiant white swan and the scheming, duplicitous black swan tests the full range of a ballerina's powers. A truly international troupe of dancers will create mesmerizingly elegant swans.
Original Choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov
Renewed by: Konstantine Sergeev in 1950.
Music Score: Mariinsky Theater
Conducted by: Valeri Gergiev
Ballet Director: Anatoliy Kazatskiy
Choreographer: Vladimir Troschenko

This season the team has worked together to develop a comprehensive strategy for this year's game, FIRST STEAMWORKS. A large amount of time has been devoted to developing our sub-teams and goals, so that everyone plays a part in our team's success. "D6 - The STEAMONATOR" is our robot for the season and our 2017 goal is to advance to the Regional District Championships again, and for the first time ever, to also compete at the FIRST National Championship in St. Louis. Last year, we spent $15,000 for registration fees and supplies - all of it raised from corporate sponsorship, educational associations, and local businesses and individuals. The team has already spent $5,000 for registration fees for the 2017 season and estimates that we will need another $7,000 to cover remaining costs for the regular season and another $10,000 to attend the Regional and National Championships if our team is selected to participate. Anticipated costs include registration fees, parts for building prototypes, parts for building the robot, tools, construction of a playing field to test prototypes, team shirts, and travel expenses.
MARCH 10-12th WESTTOWN MAR DISTRICT COMPETITION - Finished in 1st place after qualification matches, 11 Wins - 1 Loss. As 1st Place Alliance Team Captains we moved onto the Elimination Rounds, winning our Semifinal Matches and our Quarter Final Matches. In the finals, we won the first match, then narrowly lost the last two to finish in 2nd place for the competition. (A first for the team.)
Awarded the "Industrial Design Award" sponsored by General Motors "Celebrates form and function in an efficiently designed machine that effectively addresses the game challenge." (A first for the team.)
MARCH 17-19th SPRINGSIDE-CHESTNUT HILL MAR DISTRICT COMPETITION - Finished in 3rd place after qualification matches, 9 Wins - 3 Losses. As 3rd Place Alliance Team Captains we moved onto the Elimination Rounds, winning all of our Semifinal Matches and our Quarter Final Matches. In the finals, we closely lost the first match, then we won the last two making us WINNERS of the event! (A first for the team.)
APRIL 12-15th MID-ATLANTIC REGIONAL DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS HELD AT LEHIGH UNIVERSITY - We are entering the event ranked 4th out of 120 teams in the Mid-Atlantic region, the highest our team has been seeded in our 6-year history! At the end of the competition, we were awarded qualification to attend the FRC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS in St. LOUIS!!!
April 26-29th FIRST'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, ST. LOUIS - We hope to be there this year! - AND WE WERE!!! With 10 days to plan and arrive in St. Louis, the team scrambled to get things organized while the school, community, and our families rallied to make sure we could travel to Missouri. Our robot "D6" was shipped to St. Louis and the team followed in caravan form - pick-up truck, trailer, and 3 minivans carrying 13 students, 6 mentors, and 4 additional parents. We were joined in St.Louis by 2 more mentors and 2 more parents. WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE FOR ALL! Competition was fierce and we competed at the same level we did all season. Although we did not make it to the finals, the team enjoyed watching matches as much as they did competing in them. We met people from all over the world from different FRC teams, we attended workshops and listened to inspiring speakers. Students were able to visit with many representatives from Universities that offer scholarships to FIRST students and speak with representatives from businesses from around the globe that are looking to hire FIRST alumni. There was a Robo-Prom for students to attend one evening since students missed their school's Prom. During the opening and closing ceremonies there were incredible professional entertainers that put on a show that had everyone on their feet. This will be a trip, a competition, an event they will never forget... AND now that we have experienced it, WE WANT TO GO BACK!

Everywhere you looked, people were busy wrapping.  Boxes and boxes of balls, games and coats were wrapped and placed outside in a small mountain of bags to be distributed to needy families and children.
For more than two decades, the Sussex County Association of Realtors (SCAOR)Â has gathered and wrapped Christmas gifts for those in need. In addition to the dolls, bicycles and toys, everyone who asks for it receives a winter coat. Each family also receives a gift card for food.
"It's not about just toys, it's about needs," said Sussex County Association of Realtors Community Service Foundation Wrapping Chairman Susan Mills.
Realtors, friends and family members  from all over Sussex County gathered at the Rusty Rudder on Thursday, Dec. 9 to wrap gifts. Approximately 60 people wrapped gifts, some of it almost assembly line style. About 90 people gathered to do the shopping for this year's gift giving.
The Rudder is normally closed now, but it opened its' doors so they would have a place to wrap presents.
"We can't do it without the support of the community," Mills said.
This year, 165 families are being helped.
A total of 424 children are also being helped.
It's considered a true community effort because the Rudder opens it doors, Grotto Pizza buys lunch, Kmart opens early and offers discounts so the realtors can stretch their gift dollars and Food Lion gives discounts on gift cards.
School nurses, the Children's Beach House, First State Community Action and other service agencies recommend children and families in need. They also give information about what each family needs.
The money comes from an annual auction in October as well as from donations from members. While they raise a considerable sum of money, it still has to be stretched to buy all of those gifts. So, the children won't find computers or iPads under the tree. But they will find dolls, games and the occasional bicycle.
The realtors also bought 310 winter coats to ward off the winter chill and some families receive car seats for their young children. Donations are tax deductible and all the money raised stays in Sussex County to help friends and neighbors who are having a tough time.
"It's giving back to the community in which we live and work," said Dave Lambert, the president of the Sussex County Association of Realtors Community Service Foundation. "I think that every year we find there is a need."
Mills notes that with the sluggish economy, the group has noticed an increase in the number of homeless people this holiday season.
"You have to give back," she said.
"The realtors are like the elves," she said with a laugh.
"It's a chance to help people who are less fortunate than myself," Lambert said.
"We're (realtors from different businesses) friendly competitors," Mills said. "But it's an opportunity for everybody to come together and do something for the good of the community."
To make a donation or help with next year's gift drive, Mills and Lambert suggest you contact your local realtor or real estate office for more information.Tweet

The dental practice which I am visiting for years and is fantastic.
Wonderful staff. Friendly and informative. I love the dentist. He is handsome and professional, as well very gentle. I could never imagine to have an injection in my mouth and not feel it, but he gave me an injection and didn't feel anything. 100% recommend him to anyone, but unfortunately he works some times in another dental surgery and he works mostly private, but they have other dentists too.

Who made the American Flag?
According to prominent tales, the first American flag was sewed by Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress that was an acquaintance of George Washington. In May 1776, so the story goes, General Washington as well as two representatives from the Continental Congress visited Ross at her upholstery store and also showed her a sketch design of the flag. Although Washington at first favored making use of a star with six points, Ross promoted for a five-pointed star, which could be reduced with just one fast snip of the scissors, and the gentlemen were won over. Unfortunately, chroniclers have never been able to verify this variation of occasions.
In those days, the flag was not the very same as we understand it today. The act stated, "Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternating red and also white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a brand-new constellation."
What does the American Flag stand for?
The flag first rose over thirteen states along the Atlantic seaboard, with a populace of some 3 million individuals. Today it flies over fifty states, extending throughout the continent, and also over great islands of the 2 oceans; as well as millions owe it obligation.
The flag includes 13 alternating red and white straight stripes representing the initial thirteen British communities that stated freedom from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and ended up being the very first states in the US. A blue rectangle in the canton bears 50 small, white stars standing for each state. The stars are organized in 9 horizontal rows offset of each other. This blue area of the flag is called the Union.
The importance of the Flag, as quoted from Washington: "We take the stars from Heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white red stripes, hence revealing that we have separated from her, and also the white stripes will go down to posterity standing for Liberty."
It incarnates for all mankind the spirit of liberty and also the glorious belief of human liberty; not the liberty of unrestraint or the liberty of license, yet an one-of-a-kind ideal of equal opportunity for life, freedom and also the pursuit of happiness, secured by the demanding and also lofty principles of duty, of decency and of justice, and also achievable by obedience to self-imposed regulations.
It personifies the essence of nationalism. Its spirit is the spirit of the American country. Its background is the background of the American individuals. Emblazoned on its folds in letters of living light are the names and also popularity of our brave dead, the Fathers of the Republic who devoted upon its altars their lives, their fortunes as well as their sacred honor. Twice told tales of nationwide honor as well as magnificence cluster heavily about it. Ever before victorious, it has actually emerged triumphant from eight great nationwide disputes. It flew at Saratog, at Yorktown, at Palo Alto, at Gettysburg, at Manila bay, at Chateau-Thierry, at Iwo Jima. It attests to the tremendous growth of our national limits, the development of our natural resources, and the splendid framework of our civilization. It forecasts the accomplishment of popular government, of civic and religious freedom and of national decency throughout the globe.
Why is the American Flag essential to American community?
The American flag is very vital due to the fact that it represents the independent federal government as defined under the United States Constitution. The flag additionally symbolizes the various accomplishments of the country as well as the satisfaction of its people.
This nationwide symbol reminds individuals, not just in the state of New Mexico, but throughout the entire USA about the different important elements of the Declaration of Independence. It is not just a simple symbol, which represents the liberty and also rights of Americans. Floating from the soaring pinnacle of American idealism, it is a beacon of sustaining hope.
It is the indicator made visible of the solid spirit that has brought freedom as well as prosperity to the people of America. It is the flag of all us alike. Let us accord it honor as well as loyalty.
Where can I find American Flags?
You probably currently observed this, yet there are a lot of areas where you can obtain American flags. It is crucial to note that the flag you're about to acquire should be "Made in USA. There are numerous vendors whose flags are identified as made in China, and also flying a China-made American flag just doesn't make any sense, does it?
Based on stats, Americans invest over 5.3 million US dollars on imported flags yearly – most of which are made in China. Probably much more disconcerting is that throughout 2001, in the wave of patriotism that spread over America after 9/11, Americans purchased $52 million US dollars in imported flags. The flag ought to signify the blood, sweat, and tears of American men and women that brought this nation right into existence, not our debt to China and also the fatality of the American production field.
The flag signifies national self-reliance and popular sovereignty. It is not the flag of a reigning household or imperial house, however of the millions free individuals welded right into a country, one and also inseparable, unified not just by community of interest, however by important unity of view and objective; a nation differentiated for the clear specific conception of its people alike of their responsibilities as well as their benefits, their responsibilities and their civil liberties.

Mr. Speaker, for generations, the Korean war has continued with no feasible end in sight. Today, North and South Korea supposedly reached a peace agreement, which includes a denuclearized peninsula, but the definition of denuclearization is not defined in the agreement.
To the North, denuclearization only means the U.S. nuclear umbrella to protect South Korea will end. To the South and to the U.S., this means North Korea will denuclearize.
This is not the first time little Kim has made agreements only to break them. And Kim's delusional idea of a unified Korea is a unified communist Korean Peninsula with him in charge, standing against the West. For over 6 decades, the Kim regime has actively pursued nuclear and ballistic weapons, terrorizing anyone who opposes the rogue regime.
President Trump's hardball tactics have had their intended insurmountable effect. We must proceed with caution and stand with our allies to ensure that this agreement is not merely a ploy to serve North Korea's nefarious, totalitarian, aggressive interests.
And that is just the way it is.

One of the many finishing-off jobs is putting on a rain skirt at the base of the building. This has two functions: to protect the base plate and throw any rain that runs down the building away from the foundations and also to protect the car tyres from direct sunlight, which can cause them to degrade.
Before rendering I had screwed a 2×2 timber through the woodfibre and into the timber of the base plate. This acted initially as a render stop, although the sticky nature of the Limecote mean this wasn't really necessary. What I have now done is screw a piece of standard black stained weatherboad at an angle into this timber and nailed onto this a piece of 90 degree angled plastic beading. This beading can act as a new render stop for a a strip of render that overlaps the top of the weatherboard (see pictures).
I am pleased with the result. It finishes-off the base of the wall and gives the the whole house a slighty suspended feel.
Elsewhere, I have been finishing off the flooring and been back on the tyres and gravel again, but this time for the less critical job of providing a foundation for decking. I will use the scaffold boards so that the same material that is the interior flooring also then runs-out as 'exterior flooring' albeit with a small gap between the planks to allow rain to run-off as well as having set the decking on joists that are on a 1% angle to further encourage run-off.

You can never be too rich or too thin, or have too much memory in your computer. Last year a 40-megabyte hard drive and two megabytes on the motherboard may have been plenty, but, as with money, it now seems paltry. How do you get more?
You can take the computer back to the store, but computers are heavy and fragile and besides, computer shops will charge $50 or more for the job. At the going mail-order price, that could buy you 10 more megabytes of disk space.
With chips for the motherboard, the proportion of the cost represented by labor can be even larger.
And for many people, sending the computer back to meet its maker is not an option, because the machine came from a mail order house.

The Negotiations Web:
Complex Connections
Tasmin Rajotte
This chapter examines the increasingly complex linkages between the various international
negotiations in trade, environment, agriculture and intellectual property (IP) that govern the
ownership and control of genetic resources discussed in Chapters 2–6. The diversity of negotiat
ing constituencies and lack of policy coherence at all levels, in addition to the forum
management strategies used by some countries, has resulted in an array of agreements that can
have inconsistent or overlapping objectives. The various authors of the previous chapters identi
fied what they saw as important linkages; those comments are drawn together, along with other
linkages, in this chapter.
Chapters 2–6 described how the scope of IP has expanded, through different multilateral agreements, to include genetic resources and associated knowledge for agriculture and food. Forum proliferation and the increasing complexity of the various international treaties create and contribute to controversies, conflicts, grey areas and other problems.
This chapter discusses the strategies being pursued to deepen global IP expansion and harmonization, such as forum management and bilateral and regional free-trade agreements, enforcement mechanisms, World Trade Organization (WTO) accessions and the implications for genetic resources. Next, it discusses the linkages around the harmonization of IP and the access and benefit sharing (ABS) of genetic resources and the way this is shaping how international instruments such as those discussed in Chapters 2–6 relate to each other. It then moves on to some of the broad problems identified with the approach of balancing the exchange of genetic resources with IP protection within an increasingly patent-dominated system. Finally, it briefly examines other linkages, such as some of the development and emerging human rights issues.

Dear Prime Minister,
First of all, I have to thank you for the additional $2K that you are giving to me since I am born after 26 Aug 2012. However, I have to sadly tell you that I think the steps you made in raising the baby bonus, increasing paternity leave and housing support are not enough to help boost the fertility rate in Singapore to your long term goal of 2.1.
You might have forgotten something very important - that Daddy and Mummy decided to have me out of L-o-v-e, not incentives. That love for babies might be something running low in our land and needs to be cultivated. If there is no longing for a bigger family, then no amount of money is going to make all the aunties and uncles have babies like me. I can see that many of the newly weds postpone having kids and while they might quote financial reasons as the cause, the root of it lies in not having a strong enough desire for babies like me.

In the last decade we have seen a rise in the number of mobile devices: laptops, PDAs, smart phones, smart watches, toothbrushes and even electric cars that are becoming more and more popular. These devices are all powered by batteries, ones that we need to charge periodically and that stresses our power transmission systems.
They need a large amount of power and a number of wall-plugs, all of them have separate switched mode power converters plugged in and meters of charging cable that takes up a lot of space. Our rooms are entangled by wires, and our battery powered systems need to be recharged constantly, during that time we can't even use them properly, and if we want a longer battery life we have to use larger or more cells, creating dangerous waste, an environmental hazard.
The need for a wireless charging method is clear, and we might have a solution: Wireless power transfer (WPT). It could solve these practical problems and could provide new special applications of supply, like powering satellites, electrical airplanes, or charging electrical cars in motion.
My thesis attempts to
• collect the most important available methods to transfer energy wirelessly
• give an overview of the existing and useful applications that are already on the market, as well as theoretical plans for the future
• show the effect of these devices on modern power electronics and how it can change the transfer systems we use today
At the end of the thesis I will try to document the planning and building of a small demonstration circuit that is based on magnetic resonance coupling, and ideas, how to improve it into a commercial product.
