"A helicopter circled overhead. ",
"Riot police clad in protective gear and balaclavas lined the sidewalks. ",
"Columns of police wagons sped past. ",
"There was a sense of foreboding in the air in central Moscow on Saturday afternoon as the authorities prepared for the latest demonstration to demand that opposition candidates be allowed to run in the upcoming Moscow City Duma elections. ",
"That was especially the case when about a dozen policemen detained Lyubov Sobol, a barred candidate who has become one of the main leaders of the three weeks of protests, as soon as she left her building around 2 p.m. local time to head for what she said would be a walk through central Moscow along the tree-lined Boulevard Ring. “",
"Hello to all the brave Muscovites who came out today! ",
"Proud of you!” ",
"Sobol, who is on the 21st day of a hunger strike, wrote on Twitter several hours later from a police station after being driven around for several hours without access to her phone, she said.",
"\n\nAP / TASS\n\nThe protests have roiled Moscow since July 14, when Sobol and other prominent opposition candidates — including fellow allies of opposition leader Alexei Navalny Ivan Zhdanov and Ilya Yashin, as well as Dmitry Gudkov, a prominent critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin — were barred from running. ",
"To make it on to the ballot for the Sept. 8 vote, potential candidates had to each collect around 5,000 signatures, depending on the district, from city residents. ",
"But over the first days of July, opposition politicians had some of the names they collected invalidated by election officials. ",
"They argue that the authorities have barred them from running to stop them from challenging Kremlin-backed incumbents. ",
"Over the last 21 days, protesters have mobilized for regular street rallies demanding opposition candidates be allowed to run. ",
"At one point, the authorities offered the protesters an outlet to vent their anger by approving a July 20 demonstration on Prospekt Sakharova, a location outside the city center. ",
"But that protest drew 22,500 people — making it the largest opposition-led demonstration in recent years. ",
"Since then, the authorities have cracked down — hard.",
"\n\nhttps://twitter.com/Domozhiroff/status/1157657088941858817\n\nAfter the Investigative Committee opened a criminal investigation into unsanctioned protests, they began night raids on the opposition politicians who were calling on protesters to take part in unauthorized demonstrations. ",
"Opposition leader Navalny and ex-state Duma deputy Gudkov have since been handed 30-day prison sentences, while Zhdanov, the director of Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation, has been sentenced to 15 days and municipal deputy Yashin to 12. ",
"During last weekend’s protest, police also detained nearly 1,400 people, while the courts — which heard more than 1,000 cases this week — have come down strongly on them. ",
"Some 88 people are now facing prison time, while another 330 have been fined. ",
"One student faces up to eight years behind bars. ",
"This week, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin had warned the opposition that he would not allow the protest movement to plunge Russia’s capital into chaos. “",
"We don’t live in Zimbabwe,” the Putin ally said in an interview on state television, accusing the opposition of having “a desire to usurp power illegitimately.”",
"\n\nYet people have continued to come out. ",
"Each week, Facebook events advertising the protests have seen increasing interest, and some of Russia’s most prominent celebrities have spoken out in support of the movement. ",
"By the time protest kicked off at 2 p.m. local time Saturday, more than 20,000 people had said they were interested in going or would be attending. ",
"Another 1,000 gathered in St. Petersburg in support of the Moscow protests, according to local police there. ",
"Protesters and journalists, including a Moscow Times reporter, reported having difficulties connecting to the internet along the demonstration route. ",
"Last fall, the authorities ordered two mobile operators to cut access to mobile data services in the region of Ingushetia during protests there. ",
"Moscow city officials also on Wednesday announced a shish kebab-themed music festival for Saturday, with social media influencers urging people Saturday morning and afternoon to attend. ",
"Activists were not deterred — some even travelled to Moscow from other cities, including Volgorad some 1,000 kilometers to the southeast. “",
"I needed to see for myself what these protests were about because we don’t see the real thing on television,” said Dmitry Lungu, 22. “",
"What I see is a large number of people who believe it’s time for Putin to leave office.”",
"\n\nA helicopter circled the protest route in Moscow Saturday afternoon. ",
"Valery Sharifulin / Tass\n\nBecause riot police blocked off much of the planned protest route, forcing protesters to turn down side streets, it was difficult to estimate numbers of demonstrators Saturday. ",
"Moscow police estimated that 1,500 turned out. ",
"For their part, the protesters repeatedly broke out into cheers and claps, accompanied by cars that honked as they passed. ",
"At times they chanted familiar slogans like “Russia will be free” and “Sobyanin resign.” ",
"Many were detained — 1,001, according to the OVD Info police watchdog. “",
"It’s a political crisis for the authorities,” said political analyst Yekaterina Schulmann. “",
"So far they are using the methods and instruments they know — we haven’t seen anything new from them, just higher numbers.” “",
"But it would also be dumb to disregard the cooling effect that a violent crackdown can have on protests,” she added."

"Call Of Cthulhu - Depths of Madness Trailer\n\nCyanide Studioのナラティブデザイナー,マクシミリアン・ルッツ氏\n\nFocus Home Interactiveは,2016年に制作が発表されたホラーRPGのデモプレイを,同社が本拠地を置くパリで開催したイベントで初公開した。開発はフランスのCyanide Studioが担当し,2017年第4四半期の発売も新たに発表された。対応機種は PC および PlayStatioin 4 Xbox One が予定されている。H.P.ラヴクラフトの古典怪奇小説と,それをベースにしたテーブルトップRPGをライセンスした本作は,北米ニューイングランド地方にある架空の孤島を舞台にした物語が描かれる。時は1920年代,女性芸術家のが自分の邸宅で謎の死を遂げ,その調査を依頼された私立探偵がボストンからやってくる。そして,家族や島を覆うミステリーを解き明かしていくことになる。ゲーム画面は主人公の一人称視点で描かれ,プレイヤーは探索やパズル,そしてNPC達との会話などを通してストーリーを進めていくのだ。今回のデモでは,ピアースが島に降り立ったばかりの冒頭のシーンが紹介されており,事故現場となったホーキンス邸に鍵がかけられているために,内部に潜入する方法を考え出さなければならないという設定だった。鍵はという庭師の男が持っているらしいが,主人公を不審に感じたのか,会話をしてもなかなか信用してくれない。会話は,そしてなどから適切だと思うものをダイヤルで選択するシステムだ。波止場から邸宅にやってくる道すがら,サラの墓に花が供えられているのを見たので,これはおそらくウィンチェスターが供えたものと判断。ウィンチェスターはサラに好意を寄せていたらしいことから,「説得」を繰り返して鍵をもらうというステップを踏み,なんとか邸宅内に入った。もっとも,どのような手法で潜入するのかはプレイヤー次第であり,スキルを活かして脅迫してみるといった会話の選択や,庭師の家から鍵を盗む,あるいは裏口を見つけるといったこともできるという。本作は,1981年にリリースされたChaosiumのテーブルトップRPG「Call of Cthulhu」のルールセットを参考にしており,中でも特徴的なのが,と呼ばれるパラメータだ。これは,プレイヤーが恐怖を感じた体験や場所から,特定の恐怖症を引き起こすというもの。暗所,閉所,高所といったいくつかのフォビアが存在し,Sanityゲージが増えていくと,ストーリーの重要なシーンで恐怖症が発生してゲームを進めにくくなる。薬を飲むなど,恐怖感を鎮めるための対処法も存在するが,数あるホラーものの中でもユニークなシステムになりそうだ。今回のデモでも,ホーキンス邸の美術館のような場所で,絵から異様なクリーチャーが抜け出てくるというシーンが紹介されていたが,見つからないよう隠れたピアースの心拍数が上がり,どんどんと恐怖心が増していくのが感じられた。ピアーズはタンスの中にいるのだが,このデモでは閉所恐怖症という設定だったのか,一定の時間以上同じ場所にいると錯乱して声が出るというリスクがある。そのため,時間に追われつつ,クリーチャーがいないスキをうかがって別の場所に移動しなくてはならない。本作の脚本を担当するCyanide Studioのナラティブデザイナー,によれば,主人公は配下の探偵達を使ってを編成し,それぞれの能力に合わせて彼らにミッションを委任するといったシステムも導入される予定だという。失敗するとどうなるのか,すべてのミッションをプレイヤーが直接プレイできるのか,といった不明点も少なくないが,ルッツ氏は,プレイヤーが背景となる物語をより深く知ることができる,さまざまな仕掛けを用意しているとも述べていた。最近はゲーム実況のネタとして人気を博しているホラージャンルだが,「Call of Cthulhu: The Official Video Game」は,独自性の強いさまざまなシステムの導入により,他人がプレイする様子を鑑賞するだけではなく,自分で遊んでみたいと思わせる作品に仕上がりそうだ。新情報の公開に期待したい。"

"\nTHIS CAUSE is before the court upon defendant FSC Securities Corporation's motion to dismiss (DE # 16-1, 16-2). ",
"Plaintiffs Charles D. Medalie and Janet Medalie were solicited from late 1984 until February 1985 by George Bliss, a representative of FSC, to purchase investments in limited partnerships. ",
"Bliss visited George Medalie in school, where he worked, and later both plaintiffs at their home. ",
"Plaintiffs allege that Bliss represented the investments would be safe, low risk, have a higher rate of return than money markets or certificates of deposit, and that the investments would be suitable for teachers such as the Medalies. ",
"Based on Bliss's representations, the Medalies made five limited partnership purchases on February 5, 1985 and two purchases on February 12, 1987. ",
"Plaintiffs' total investment amounted to $157,575.00. ",
"Plaintiffs allege that after the purchases, neither Bliss nor FSC reported to them the true value or performance of their investments and represented to them that the investments were \"fine\" and \"doing great.\" ",
"Plaintiffs continued to hold these investments \"to their financial detriment.\"",
"\nPlaintiffs filed a four count complaint against the defendant alleging violation of § 517.301 of the Florida Securities and Investor Protection Act (Count I), breach of fiduciary duty (Count II), fraud in the inducement (Count III), and breach of contract (Count IV). ",
"Plaintiffs' complaint was originally filed in the Circuit Court for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida. ",
"The case was timely removed to this court based on the court's diversity jurisdiction. ",
"Plaintiffs are citizens and residents of New York and defendant is a Georgia corporation, with its principal place of business in Georgia. ",
"The solicitations in this case took place in Waverly, New York. ",
"FSC contractually consented to venue, personal jurisdiction, and subject matter jurisdiction in Dade County, Florida. ",
"By arguing their motions based on Florida law, the parties have stipulated that Florida law applies in this case.[1] Neither party raised a choice-of-law or conflicts of law problem. ",
"Defendant now moves to dismiss all counts, and if count IV for breach of contract, is not *1298 dismissed, defendant moves for a more definite statement on count IV.",
"\n\nI. Standard of Review for a Motion to Dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6)\nTo warrant dismissal of a complaint under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil procedure, it must be \"clear that no relief could be granted under any set of facts that could be proved consistent with the allegations.\" ",

"The statute of limitations applicable to Chapter 517 is set forth in § 95.11(4)(e), Florida Statutes, which provides:\nActions other than for recovery of real property shall be commenced as follows:\n...\n4) Within two years. ",
"\n...\ne) An action founded upon a violation of any provision of chapter 517, with the period running from the time the facts giving rise to the cause of action were discovered or should have been discovered with the exercise of due diligence, but not more than 5 years from the date such violation occurred....\nThis statute has been held to bar any action for violation of Chapter 517, Florida Statutes, commenced after the expiration of five years from the date of the violation regardless of whether the facts giving rise to the cause of action were known by the plaintiff.

"In Wilder v. Meyer, 779 F.Supp. ",
"164, 167-68 (S.D.Fla.1991), the court held that fraudulent concealment would not serve to extend the five-year bar provided by the statute of limitations in § 95.11(4)(e) in a § 517.301 action. ",
"The Wilder court relied on the Eleventh Circuit's holding in Cook v. Deltona Corp., 753 F.2d 1552, 1562 (11th Cir.1985):\nwhere the statute clearly provides for a tolling period for a fraudulent concealment, and then includes a secondary date which \"in no event\" can be surmounted, there is good basis for belief that the latter date was intended as an absolute barrier to the filing of suit.",
"\nIn Cook, the court was interpreting language in the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act (\"the Act\"), 15 U.S.C. § 1701, et seq. ",
"The pre-1979 § 1711 of the Act, providing the limitations period, contains a similar bifurcated limitations scheme as is found in § 95.11(4)(e). ",
"The Cook court read the statute as manifesting a legislative intent to avoid equitable tolling *1299 for the secondary limitations period, while retaining the possibility of equitable tolling for the shorter primary limitations period. ",
"See id. at 1562.",

"The original state court action was filed on December 9, 1998, over two years after \"mid-1996.\" ",
"See Defendant's Notice of Removal at 1 and attached State Court Complaint. ",
"The question is therefore whether the complaint was filed less than \"five years from the date such violation occurred.\" ",
"The answer to that question depends on when the violation is deemed to have occurred. ",
"If the violation is deemed to have occurred when the securities were actually purchased, then the complaint was filed beyond the five year limitations period and the claim is barred by § 95.11(4)(e). ",
"The Amended Complaint indicates that the securities purchases occurred on February 5, 1985 and on February 12, 1987. ",
"These purchases occurred more than 11 years before the complaint in this case was filed. ",
"See Amend. ",
"Complaint at ¶ 20. ",
"On the other hand, plaintiffs argue that the violation should be deemed to be a continuous tort that was fraudulently concealed by the defendant. ",
"In this case, plaintiffs argue, the defendant's ongoing fraudulent misrepresentations and violations of fiduciary duties would extend the limitations period beyond the date of the original purchase and place it within the five year limitations period of § 95.11(4)(e). ",
"The court is unpersuaded by plaintiffs' argument because ample case law suggests that the five year limit is an absolute bar which cannot be extended though equitable tolling, continuous torts, ongoing misrepresentations, or violations of fiduciary duties.[2]See Wilder and Cook, supra.",
"\nMoreover, the cases show that the cause of action accrues for purposes of the five year limitations period at the time the securities were purchased. ",
"See Byrne v. Gulfstream First Bank & Trust Co. of Boca Raton, 528 F.Supp. ",
"692, 695 (S.D.Fla.1981) (determining for purposes of a Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 action applying the limitations period in Fla.Stat. § ",
"95.11(4)(e) that the cause of action arose when the transaction transferring the securities at issue to the defendant was completed, and the action was therefore barred, even though the fraud was allegedly discovered within 2 years of the filing of the complaint, because 10 years had passed since the transaction was completed); see also Armbrister v. Roland Int'l Corp., 667 F.Supp. ",
"802, 823 (M.D.Fla.1987) (\"The right of action provided arises when a sale is made in violation of the Chapter's [517] provisions. ",
"The `violation,' then, that triggers the limitations period [of § 95.11(4)(e)] occurs when the purchaser contracts to buy the security.\"); ",
"Wilder, supra. ",
"Accordingly, because the allegedly fraudulent conduct was discovered more than two years after the complaint was filed and because the securities were purchased more than 11 years before the complaint was filed, Count I is barred by the statute of limitations in § 95.11(4)(e) and is therefore dismissed.[3]\n\nIII.

"Hayes, 920 F.2d at 777. ",
"Significantly, the Hayes case, just as this case, involved an investor suing a securities broker for fraud. ",
"The 1991 Hayes decision would therefore appear to be dispositive of the issue, however, on July 1, 1999, the Florida Supreme Court issued a new pronouncement on the application of the economic loss rule in Moransais v. Heathman, 744 So.2d 973 (Fla.1999). ",
"In Moransais, the court held that \"the economic loss rule does not bar a cause of action against a professional for his or her negligence even though the damages are purely economic in nature and the aggrieved party has entered into a contract with the professional's employer.\" ",
"744 So.2d at 983-84. ",
"The court further held that \"Florida recognizes a common law cause of action against professionals based on their acts of negligence despite the lack of a direct contract between the professional and the aggrieved party.\" ",
"Id.\nIn reaching its decision, the Florida Supreme Court engaged in a fundamental reassessment of how the economic loss rule has evolved in Florida and whether it has strayed from its original purpose. ",
"See id. at 980 (\"Unfortunately, however, our subsequent holdings have appeared to expand the application of the rule beyond its principled origins and have contributed to application of the rule by trial and appellate courts to situations well beyond our original intent.\") ",
"and id. at 980 (\"We must acknowledge that our pronouncements on the rule have not always been clear and, accordingly, have been the subject of legitimate criticism and commentary.\"). ",
"The court concluded that the economic loss rule was being applied too broadly and was effectively extinguishing traditional tort causes of action.[4] Therefore, the scope of *1301 the economic loss rule should be narrowed to product liability actions and other similar contexts:\nToday, we again emphasize that by recognizing that the economic loss rule may have some genuine, but limited, value in our damages law, we never intended to bar well-established common law causes of action, such as those for neglect in providing professional services. ",
"Rather, the rule was primarily intended to limit actions in the product liability context, and its application should generally be limited to those contexts or situations where the policy considerations are substantially identical to those underlying the product liability-type analysis.",
"\nId. at 983.",
"\nWhile the holding of this case was limited to professional malpractice, the court implied that other torts would also not be covered by the newly clarified economic loss rule. ",
"See id. (\"The rule, in any case, should not be invoked to bar well-established causes of actions in tort, such as professional malpractice.\"). ",
"Shortly after the Moransais decision, the Third District Court of Appeal held that \"the Moransais opinion makes it clear that the economic loss rule has not abolished the cause of action for breach of fiduciary duty, even if there is an underlying oral or written judgment on this issue.\" ",

"The facts of First Equity are essentially the same as in this case: a securities broker introduced Watkins to an investment opportunity and entered into oral and written contracts. ",
"The investment ultimately failed and Watkins brought suit contending that First Equity had misrepresented material facts regarding the investment. ",
"See id. at * 1. ",
"Noting that breach of fiduciary duty is a \"just such a well-established cause of action in tort\" the Moransais court contemplated, First Equity held the cause of action was not barred by the economic loss rule.",
"\nThe First Equity holding therefore appears to be in direct conflict with the Eleventh Circuit's holding in Hayes. ",
"The First Equity court recognized the conflict stating:\nWe recognize that the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has held that the Florida economic loss rule bars a breach of fiduciary claim. ",
"See Interstate Securities Corp. v. Hayes Corp., 920 F.2d 769, 776-77 (11th Cir.1991). ",

"Moransais, 744 So.2d at 983-84 (emphasis added). ",

"1997) and Garden v. Frier, 602 So.2d 1273, 1275 (Fla.1992)). ",
"Because a securities broker is not required to obtain a four year degree for licensing in Florida, defendant argues that the Moransais holding does not apply in this case.",
"\n*1303 The plaintiffs in Moransais sued a professional engineering corporation for breach of contract for failing to discover defects in the home the corporation inspected. ",
"The plaintiffs also sued the two engineers that performed the inspection for professional negligence. ",
"The Medalies, however, are not suing the defendant for professional negligence, so the holding of Moransais is not directly applicable to their case. ",
"However, the Moransais court did make two significant statements in dicta to guide the lower courts in future cases involving the economic loss rule. ",
"First, the court directly stated that professional negligence is not the only cause of action that can be maintained despite the economic loss rule other well-established causes of action in tort also survive. ",
"See id. at 983 (\"Today, we again emphasize that by recognizing that the economic loss rule may have some genuine, but limited, value in our damages law, we never intended to bar well-established common law causes of action, such as those for neglect in providing professional services.... The rule, in any case, should not be invoked to bar well-established causes of action in tort, such as professional malpractice.\"). ",
"The court also significantly narrowed the application of the economic loss rule to product liability-type cases. ",
"See id. (\"[T]he rule was primarily intended to limit actions in the product liability context, and its application should generally be limited to those contexts or situations where the policy considerations are substantially identical to those underlying the product liability-type analysis.\").",
"\nThe real problem, which none of the parties address, is the fact that the Supreme Court of Florida did not overturn its decision in AFM. ",
"After briefly discussing the factual background and holding of the AFM case, the Florida Supreme Court stated, \"While we continue to believe the outcome of that case [AFM] is sound, we may have been unnecessarily over-expansive in our reliance on the economic loss rule as opposed to fundamental contractual principles.",

"The court answered the question in the negative, consistent with its decision in Florida Power & Light Co. v. Westinghouse Electric Corp., 510 So.2d 899 (Fla.1987). ",
"See id. The problem therefore is that in holding that a claim for breach of fiduciary duty is barred by Florida's economic loss rule, the Eleventh Circuit relied on AFM, holding that \"If Florida courts dismiss fraud claims between parties to a contract under AFM, it is probable that the Florida courts would also dismiss fiduciary duty claims.\" ",
"Hayes, 920 F.2d at 776. ",
"The court reasoned that because a fraud claim, which in no way depends on the existence of a contract, is more likely to constitute a separate and independent tort under Florida law than a fiduciary duty claim, which does require existence of a contract, if the fraud claim is barred than the fiduciary duty claim is certainly barred. ",
"See id. at 777.",
"\nTherefore, because the Florida Supreme Court did not overrule AFM and the holding of Hayes was specifically based on the Florida Supreme Court's answer in AFM, then it is not clear whether Hayes has truly been overruled. ",
"First Equity does clearly state that Hayes is no longer good law and that in light of Moransais, claims for breaches of fiduciary duty between security *1304 brokers and clients are not barred by the economic loss rule. ",
"As a per curiam opinion, however, First Equity contains no analysis other than a brief citation and quote from Moransais. ",
"Additionally, First Equity is in conflict with another post-Moransais case which advocated a narrower approach to the decision. ",

Sarasota County School Board, 746 So.2d 530, 538 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999) (\"We do not believe, however, that Moransais should be read to allow recovery for purely intangible economic losses through negligence in a wider array of cases that do not present the same conflicting issues found in construction law.\").",
"\nIn light of this conflict, the court cannot hold that a claim for breach of fiduciary duty is not barred by the economic loss rule in light of Moransais. ",
"The continued vitality of AFM calls into doubt exactly how expansive a ruling Moransais intended to be. ",
"This question appears to be becoming an issue among the Courts of Appeal in Florida as evidenced by the broader Third District Court of Appeal decision in First Equity and the narrower Second District Court of Appeal in Monroe. ",
"Because the Moransais decision is still too new, not specifically on point, and apparently subject to conflicting interpretations in the lower courts in the state, the court declines to depart from the established Eleventh Circuit precedent in Hayes and holds that the economic loss rule bars plaintiffs' breach of fiduciary duty claims.[6]\nIt this court were permitted, it would certify the question of whether the economic loss rule continues to operate as a bar to breach of fiduciary duty claims after Moransais to the Supreme Court of Florida; however, the Florida Constitution does not permit certification from a district court.

"In HTP, Ltd. v. Lineas Aereas Costarricenses, S.A., 685 So.2d 1238, 1240 (Fla.1996), the Supreme Court of Florida recognized that fraud in the inducement can be an independent tort not barred by the economic loss rule. ",
"The court noted that\n[f]raud in the inducement presents a special situation where parties to a contract appear to negotiate freely which normally would constitute grounds for invoking the economic loss doctrine but where in fact the ability of one party to negotiate fair terms and make an informed decision is undermined by the other party's fraudulent behavior....\nThe distinction between fraud in the inducement and other kinds of fraud is the same as the distinction drawn by a New Jersey federal district court between fraud extraneous to the contract and fraud interwoven with the breach of contract. ",
"With respect to the latter kind of fraud, the misrepresentations relate to the breaching party's performance of the contract and do not give rise to an independent cause of action in tort.",

RHI Hotels, Inc., 694 So.2d 74, 77 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997) added that one cannot avoid the economic loss rule by merely labeling a claim as fraud in the inducement, the fraud must be separate and distinct from the breaching party's performance of the contract.",
"\nIn this case, plaintiff's fraud in the inducement claims are sufficient to survive the economic loss rule. ",
"Plaintiff alleges that prior to the purchase of the securities in question, defendant made material representations on which the plaintiffs relied to induce them to purchase the securities. ",
"See Amend. ",
"Complaint at ¶¶ 37-39. ",
"Included among the misrepresentations was the amount of risk and return involved with the securities. ",
"See id. at ¶ 19. ",
"These are the types of allegations that fall under the justification for the fraudulent inducement exception to the economic loss rule described in Hotels. ",
"The ability of the plaintiffs to negotiate fair terms and make an informed decision has been undermined by the defendant's fraudulent behavior. ",
"For example, had the plaintiffs been told the true risks involved in the investments, they could have protected themselves by investing less money or by contracting for a guaranteed return from the defendant.",
"\nDefendant is correct in arguing that some of the material misrepresentations that form the basis of plaintiffs' fraud in the inducement claim are the same allegations that form the basis of the breach of contract claim. ",
"It appears, however, that the allegation at ¶ 19(e) which states in part that \"the limited partnerships were long term investments and would generate dividends and thereafter would be sold, with the principal intact and at a profit, such that the rate of return would be substantially above that of Certificates of Deposit and money market funds,\" was not a part of their contract. ",
"Count IV makes no allegation that the defendant breached a contractual obligation to provide a rate of return higher than money market funds or CD's. ",
"Because plaintiffs' fraudulent inducement claim survives the economic loss rule based on ¶ 19(e), it is not necessary for the court to decide exactly which of plaintiff's allegations for fraud in the inducement mirror allegations that form the basis of the contract. ",
"To the extent that defendant induced plaintiff into signing a contract based on the promise of dividends and a high rate of return, plaintiffs' fraud in the inducement claim can be maintained. ",
"This allegation meets the Hotels test because it appears that even if defendant had met all the contractual obligations alleged by the plaintiffs including, adequate investigation, *1306 due diligence, meeting reporting requirements, complying with all rules and regulations, and correctly assessing risk tolerance, the plaintiffs would still appear to have a fraud in the inducement claim if their rate of return was not as promised.

"1. ",
"Field of the Invention\nThe present invention relates generally to containers for holding liquid or dry materials, and which are provided with an opening for removal of the material. ",
"More specifically, it relates to a bag, in particular a stand-up bag, provided with a frangible piercing point where an extraction device, such as a drinking straw, can be inserted into the container for effecting removal of the contents.",
"\n2. ",
"Description of the Prior Art\nIn addition to bottles and tin cans, certain types of flexible containers, especially stand-up bags which can be filled with liquid, pasty or dry goods, have recently gained acceptance. ",
"Such a stand-up bag is described, for example, in German Pat. ",
"No. ",
"1,281,140. ",
"As opposed to tearing such bags open, cutting off their upper seal or one corner thereof, some of them are designed so that an extraction device, for example a drinking straw, can be pushed through the side wall thereof, the extraction device then being used to remove the contents of the bag.",
"\nHowever, since these bags usually consist of laminates, especially laminates including metal foils, e.g., aluminum, the insertion of the straw often presents difficulties, because the straws are relatively thin and tend to break or fold, and thus can no longer be used. ",
"On the other hand, if a drinking straw is pushed into the bag too hard, it may happen that both walls of the bag will be pierced, and that the contents will then leak out.",
"\nBags of this type have been proposed that have an opening closed by a piece of an adhesive tape, or by a sealing strip on the outside wall of the bag. ",
"However, there are disadvantages associated with this manner of closing the opening, particularly if the bag is constructed of laminates. ",
"The contents of the bag in such an arrangement are in permanent contact with the different layers of the laminate, which may be foil, at the opening where the bag is to be pierced. ",
"Thus, the adhesive binding the layers of the laminate can be attacked by the contents, or, in the case of composite foils having metal layers, these are affected. ",
"This may lead to delamination and thus destruction of the bag. ",
"Furthermore, the contents may be contaminated by the attack upon the adhesive binding the laminates, or on the metal foil.",
"\nThere is thus need for a new bag construction, one that avoids the difficulties associated with known bags of the present type."

"June 22, 2010\n\nExpectations of Privacy, Revisited\n\nIn City of Ontario v. Quon, the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that, in the particular circumstances of the case, a government employer had a right “to read text messages sent and received on a pager the employer owned and issued to an employee.” ",
"Deciding the case in carefully narrow fashion, Justice Anthony Kennedy’s opinion for the Court assumed that the police officer, Jeff Quon, had a reasonable expectation of privacy in his text messages and concluded that the search of those messages was reasonable, because it was conducted for a legitimate, work-related purpose.",
"\n\nBefore reaching this conclusion, Kennedy spends some time toying with the question whether Quon had a reasonable expectation of privacy sufficient to trigger Fourth Amendment protections. ",
"The Court assumes, for the purposes of this case, that he did, rather than resolving the issue because, as Kennedy puts it, “[t]he Court must proceed with care when considering the whole concept of privacy expectations in communications owned by a government employer. ",
"The judiciary risks error by elaborating too fully on the Fourth Amendment implications of emerging technology before its role in society has become clear.”",
"\n\nWhen it decided Katz v. United States in 1967, the Court had no such reluctance. ",
"In that case, the Court determined that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a telephone booth. ",
"Kennedy suggests that “[i]t is not so clear that courts at present are on so sure a ground,” thus suggesting that, unlike text messaging, the technological issues in Katz could be viewed as within the realm of judicial competence to evaluate. ",
"Kennedy goes on to observe that what society regards as private is changing, and that “employer policies concerning communications will of course shape the reasonable expectations of their employees, especially to the extent that such policies are clearly communicated.”",
"\n\nThe problem here is that technology has obscured the central issue regarding the privacy the framers designed the Fourth Amendment to protect. ",
"One does not have to have an engineering degree to see why Katz had a reasonable expectation of privacy in a phone booth: because the whole point of entering a phone booth and shutting the door was to create a private space in which to have a conversation. ",
"Whether Katz’s side of that conversation was actually private was essentially irrelevant; obviously, someone could have read his lips through the glass or perhaps been standing close enough to hear his part of the conversation. ",
"Those possibilities did not matter because the conception of reasonable privacy embraced in Katz was normative—the Court assumed some retreat from the world should be sanctioned, even if it could not be perfected; otherwise, we could reach a point at which technology makes nearly every expectation of privacy unreasonable.",
"\n\nFor its part, the Quon Court is suggesting that privacy should be judged by such measures as societal standards and employer guidelines. ",
"This means that, even if no one save Quon and the person with whom he was texting could see the content of their communications, still there might be no privacy if an employer declared that employees, on employer-owned equipment, had no expectation of privacy. ",
"This understanding of privacy, unlike that adopted in Katz, is descriptive: it is defined by what content a person can actually keep from prying eyes, rather than by what a court should regard as necessarily private. ",
"Consider that, as in the cases involving information revealed to a bank or a doctor, a court could conclude that, simply because the provider of the text messaging service has access to the content of the user’s texts, there can be no reasonable expectation of privacy.",
"\n\nBecause perfect privacy is not possible, this kind of thinking will ultimately forestall arguments about expectations of privacy in respect to new modes of communication. ",
"So let’s read Quon in a more positive light. ",
"Perhaps the Court’s fussing about the various possibilities for a reasonable expectation of privacy in text messaging and like communications services signals that arguments for the normative conception of privacy articulated in Katz will have some weight in litigation about the privacy of communicative modes that would not exist without third-party intermediaries."

"‘Rise Of The Tomb Raider’ Sales Tank But Dev Team Is ‘Very Happy’\n\n'Rise of the Tomb Raider' faced tough competition when it launched as an Xbox exclusive on the same day as 'Fallout 4.' ",
"However, Microsoft and Square Enix as well as Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal are 'very happy,' according to director Brian Horton.",
"\n( Square Enix )\n\nAdvertisement\n\nWhen Rise of the Tomb Raider was launched, the title didn't meet the expected sales figure, which implied a disheartened publisher and development team. ",
"However, Brian Horton, game director at Crystal Dynamics, says otherwise, noting that both Microsoft and Square Enix are \"very happy\" along with the rest of the team at Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal.",
"\n\nThe latest Tomb Raider installment sold about 330,000 in its first week. ",
"Some say that the game's poor sales can be attributed to its Xbox exclusivity, whereas some blame its launch date, as the title went official at the same time as Fallout 4.",
"\n\nFar from being in low morale because of the numbers, Horton's reaction suggests that sales aren't the most important thing in making a successful game.",
"\n\n\"Microsoft and Square are very happy with Rise and the dev team, thanks for the concerns. ",
"Crystal and Eidos Montreal made a game we are proud of and we appreciate the overwheling [sic] number of positive reviews and fan feedback,\" Horton replies to concerned fans on an unofficial Tomb Raider forum.",
"\n\nHe then continues that the team is looking forward to the Game Awards 2015, where Rise of the Tomb Raider was nominated for Best Action/Adventure game. ",
"Actress Camilla Luddington also earned a nomination for Best Performance.",
"\n\nHorton adds that they don't assess the game's success based on sales count, saying that they are not responsible for that segment. ",
"Instead, the devs look at the reviews and release time to determine their performance, both of which Rise of the Tomb Raider accomplished swimmingly.",
"\n\nAccording to the game director's criteria, Rise of the Tomb Raider is a huge success, as it has been receiving plenty of positive reviews.",
"\n\nThe title initially launched on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One a few weeks ago, and it will arrive on the PlayStation 4 some time in the fourth quarter of 2016 and on the PC by early 2016."

"Short-term effects of TiO2, CeO2, and ZnO nanoparticles on metabolic activities and gene expression of Nitrosomonas europaea.",
"\nNanosized TiO2 (n-TiO2), CeO2 (n-CeO2), and ZnO (n-ZnO) and bulk ZnO were chosen for a 4-h exposure study on a model ammonia oxidizing bacterium, Nitrosomonas europaea. ",
"n-ZnO displayed the most serious cytotoxicity while n-TiO2 was the least toxic one. ",
"The change of cell morphologies, the retardance of specific oxygen uptake rates and ammonia oxidation rates, and the depression of amoA gene expressions under NP stresses were generally observed when the cell densities and membrane integrities were not significantly impaired yet. ",
"The TEM imaging and the synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy of the NPs impacted cells revealed the increase of the corresponding intracellular Ti, Ce or Zn contents and suggested the intracellular NP accumulation. ",
"The elevation of intracellular S contents accompanied with higher K contents implied the possible activation of thiol-containing glutathione and thioredoxin production for NP stress alleviation. ",
"The NP cytotoxicity was not always a function of NP concentration. ",
"The 200 mg L(-1) n-TiO2 or n-CeO2 impacted cells displayed the similar ammonia oxidation activities but higher amoA gene expression levels than the 20 mg L(-1) NPs impacted ones. ",
"Such phenomenon further indicated the possible establishment of an anti-toxicity mechanism in N. europaea at the genetic level to redeem the weakened AMO activities along with the NP aggregation effects."
