Tasting Britain got the invite down to the bonafide, JK Rowling verified and superfly Thai institution, Mango Tree - based in lovely Belgravia. We were there to try out their new regional menu - the âTraditional Taste of Thailandâ (Tasting Britain tasting Thailand?), and finally see what all the fuss is about. Iâm glad we came, it lived up to my hopes (Iâd rather have hopes than expectations, since expectations tend to get you in trouble). Anyway, Iâll tell you about the menu and then a little about the restaurant.
Launched on September 15th, this regional menu covers the four main regional cuisines of Thailand; north, north-eastern, central and south and runs only until mid-November. Thereâs eight dishes to choose from â four starters and four mains. The northern style focuses on rich and mild dishes, the east goes for spicy, the central region errs towards milder dishes influenced by the Chinese cooking style, and the south goes for really spicy!
We tried two mains: the Sea Bass Moke - a dish from the northeast that was both sweet and âbassyâ (and I say that in a very positive way). The second was Khao Soi, a Burmese-influenced chicken noodle dish with delicious coconut milk flavours. Mighty fine stuff. The picture you see of everything on a platter is basically all the starters at once, l3l.
As for the Mango Tree themselves, theyâre a Thai fine dining restaurant founded in 2001 by restaurateur Eddie Lim. Mango Tree also has a âsisterâ restaurant chain - Pan Chai is described as 'the first pan-Asian restaurant franchise in the UK'. Mango Chefâs exec chef Ian Pengelley looked after the launch of the legendary Gilgamesh in Camden Stables and has been on TV (Masterchef I believe) a bit himself!
There also used to be a Mango Tree in Doha, Qatar, though it closed at the end of March 2013, an alcohol ban being a big part of that I think. As of 2012, they also have a concession in the legendary Harrods food hall. Iâm not sure if itâs obvious if you look at the pictureâs of the restaurant interior, it was actually designed with Feng Shui in mind. I am told the original Mango Tree can be found back in Bangkok - presumably still going!
So This Is The Update Many Have Been Waiting For...
First, I want to re-cap the events of the last few weeks so that everyone is on the same page regarding the DMCA that was filed against ~*Fresh Baked Goods*~.
On August 19/2008, we received an email from the "Removals Department" at Linden Research, informing us that Linden Lab had received DMCA notification from a copyright owner, or its authorized agent, that we had allegedly infringed on one or more copyrighted works in the Second Life environment. The notification identified the following allegedly infringing work(s): ~*FBG*~ Bright Jelly Tots Necklace Sets, ~*FBG*~ Muted Jelly Tots Necklace Sets, ~*FBG*~ Greyscale Jelly Tots Necklace Sets.
Unable to verify the sender of this email, we contacted LL via a friend & concierge level member who asked if this was a department at LL, to which they answered in the affirmative. We were given just 2 days to respond to this DMCA Notification, by submitted a sworn Counter-Notification to LL via Fax, including our real contact information stating that under no circumstances did we infringe on any other individuals work, and that the claim was unfounded. While Dessert Furst, my co-owner was headed to the post-office to Fax the notice, we both received the most blatantly ridiculous communications from Linden Labs, stating that they needed to view our logs for "Account Testing", suggesting that we had seen something or reported a bug in the SL Environment, for which they had to momentarily disable access to our accounts. Within minutes we received notification that the "Account Testing" was completed. I knew that there were three IMs (sent to me as off lines) and one inventory offer that should have been awaiting me on login, the IMs were gone, and the inventory offer had been accepted by someone. Nothing was missing from our inventory at this time to my knowledge.
On August 22/08 we received notice from LL that they had received our Counter-Notification. They informed us that as required by the DMCA, Linden Lab had to disable the named "works", meaning the necklaces. Even though I had already disabled the in-world vendors and the SLX & OnRez Sales of these items, they were ceremoniously snatched from all of our stores, our inventory, and they even went to far as to remove the Ad Textures from our inventory for 2 of the 3 necklaces. Not only this, but a subsequent email notification from OnRez told me that my in-world drop box was no longer online. Upon investigation, we found that they removed both our SLX & OnRez boxes from our mainstore. We were told that pursuant to the DMCA, the claimant had 10 business days to notify LL of filing Court action. If LL did not receive notification of an action, the work(s) would be restored to our inventory.
During this time, we urgently appealed to anyone who could assist us in this crisis. There have been several individuals that provided us with amazing support and attention, I can truly say that it went a long way to restoring my faith in humanity at a time when we felt very much alone. We knew we had done nothing wrong, and we needed some advice. All attempts to contact LL via the Removals department seemed to be ignored, but for one brief email in response to a question about whether we would be entitled to see the original DMCA documents:
Thank you for contacting us. To answer your question:
Linden Lab will not provide the additional information you request without proper legal process. For more information, please refer to paragraph 6.1 of our Terms of Service at: secondlife.com/corporate/tos.php and our Privacy Policy at: secondlife.com/corporate/privacy.php.
For more information on our DMCA policy please see secondlife.com/corporate/dmca.php, and our recent blog posts blog.secondlife.com/2008/06/17/responding-to-questions-ab... and, blog.secondlife.com/2008/04/11/protecting-your-copyrighte....
Sincerely,
Linden Lab Removal Team
It seems that LL values the privacy of the individuals filing the DMCA, and not those who have been wrongly accused and abused by the process. We attempted to contact several other organizations both in-world and the VIPO, both of which ignored our requests for assistance. Yesterday marked 11 business days so we sent yet another email to the Removals Department requesting the return of our inventory.
Today we received this in reply:
Pursuant to your Counter Notification submitted under he Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512, the following items have been restored to the inventory of Sweetie Pye:
Description of Work(s):
FBG Bright Jelly Tots Necklace Sets
FBG Muted Jelly Tots Necklace Sets
FBG Greyscale Jelly Tots Necklace Sets
Sincerely, Linden Lab Copyright Agent
And this offline message:
CopyrightAgent Linden has offered you 'Sweetie Pye - DMCA Returns - Open Permissions' in Second Life. Log in to accept or decline the offer.
So great, we finally get our necklaces back, we can go back to business as usual. Right? Nope!
The Box we received from CopyrightAgent Linden (avatar name) contained three of our vendors, one for each of the three necklaces, yet upon investigation, though the necklaces were indeed full perms, the vendor boxes, notecards, posing stands, etc. within the boxes had next owner permissions applied. It took me the better part of two hours to recreate the vendor boxes in all 6 of our locations, as they are all different sizes and sit at different angles depending on the shop layouts, and I had to re-pack the boxes with new notecards, pose stands, and landmarks. We did not receive our OnRez or SLX drop-boxes back, all the items and textures within corresponded with specific listings, and now those will all have to be reset and re-written. This amounts to hours of work.
Did we receive any apologies or explanations from LL? NO
Did we receive any information about the items we are alleged to have infringed upon? NO
Do we have any idea who filed the DMCA against us? NO
Has LL answered any or all of the questions we have sent them in the last weeks regarding this case? NO
I am not posting this to paint a woe-is-me picture of what happened to us. I am not merely whining. I am absolutely appalled with the treatment we have suffered under this so called "DMCA Process" as carried out by LL, and I don't think anyone who has not been through this has any idea what it feels like to be accused of something so heinous as IP Theft and then treated as a lesser member of the Second Life Community by LL on a mere accusation. No case was filed, evidently, and now it is up to LL to pursue false filing claims, which we will absolutely urge them to do. We have no intention of playing shrinking violets and pretending we are merely satisfied to have our things back and our names cleared. We will be seeking legal counsel to determine how we can see the original DMCA as filed. If we can stop this from happening to one other small business person in SL, then we will have turned this awful series of events into something positive, and that is all we can hope for.
Again, I thank each and every one of you for your support, encouragement, and advice over the last three weeks. Every comment, every suggestion, and every purchase you have made has kept us afloat. I hope that we can open up a dialogue on this situation, perhaps in a better forum then this little blog, to address the issues that exist for both the Infringed Upon, and the Falsely Accused so that the right things happen for the right people.
Yours With Most Sincere Gratitude,
Sweetie Pye

IMPORTANT ADVICE
Establishing good provenance increases the desirability and price of a work of art as well as giving the peoples of the world vital information and insight into its history.
However if you are thinking about buying part of High Road Tottenham in order to own this important artwork, before parting company with your cash to the bloke driving a lorry load of masonry, do consult an independent expert or appraiser.

[Platypalpus Macquart 1828: 634 (IT: 72) spp]
Platypalpus is a megadiverse cosmopolitan genus, best represented in the northern temperate and montane regions; it has been extensively studied mainly in the palæarctic region, where ∼370 spp are currently known, of which 263 spp have been recorded from Europe including the Mediterranean & some adjacent territories, Caucasus & Turkey. ♂♂ in some common spp are unknown or very rare. Geographically non-uniform parthenogenesis has been found in P. candicans and P. cursitans; the very common P. major is most probably parthenogenetic throughout its entire range. Adults are found running amongst ground vegetation over the surfaces of leaves on bushes and trees but rarely on tree trunks, where they search for small insects, especially Diptera; very predaceous even in captivity — can only be compared with Chersodromia — attacking other insects and also quite frequently each other, they usually carry their prey held in the thickened mid legs. Predaceous larvæ are found in soil & under moss. Such ecologically opportunistic predatory behavior enables many spp to occupy even drastically disturbed habitats, e.g. agricultural fields & home gardens where they often represent the commonest Empidoidea with supposed impact on natural pest control. Considering cosmopolitan distribution, the presence of many diverse forms and the very wide differences between extreme sp groups with no analogy in other rather homogeneous Tachydromiinæ gg, this genus is undoubtedly very ancient phylogenetically; the large number of very similar & closely related spp in the northern temperate regions indicates a recent spp explosion for which the only parallel is Elaphropeza in tropical and subtropical regions.

Training Safeguards Inspectors: Hot Cell and Glovebox Training in Georgia
The IAEA verifies that nuclear material remains in peaceful use. To do this, nuclear safeguards inspectors regularly carry out on-site inspections at nuclear facilities around the world. Safeguards inspectors undertake regular training to ensure that they have the knowledge and experience to carry out inspections. Around half an hour drive from Tblisi, Georgia, sits the Andronikashvili Institute of Physics. The IAEA regularly holds week-long training courses for inspectors at the institute on how to apply nuclear safeguards to hot cells and glove boxes.

Juba, 29 June 2022: Today, UNMISS and the Joint Verification Monitoring Mechanism (JVMM) held workshop in Juba, which intended to develop a mutual understanding of the challenges faced by both entities and identify measures to enhance cooperation. The workshop's aim was to deliberate on the jointly approved Guidelines for Operational level Coordination of Movement for UNMISS, including ensuring freedom of movement at the local level and to identify further areas for co-operation.
This workshop is a continuation of the first UNMISS-JVMM forum conducted in July last year. The previous workshop helped to establish a positive environment and provided a platform for significant interaction between UNMISS and JVMM to develop a mutual understanding of the challenges faced by both sides and identify measures to enhance cooperation towards achieving peace and stability.
