FIT TO BE TIED:
New York Times Employees Fit to Be Tied Over Little Pinch's Pension
Changes
There is the most hilarious six-minute video. We're not gonna play the
whole thing for you, but a bunch of employees of the New York Times are
just fit to be tied that that Little Pinch wants to change their pension plan
on 'em. The New York Times right now has a "defined benefit plan" which

companies used to have until they found out they couldn't afford it. What
happened was that in negotiating union contracts, they allowed early
retirement in some of these places 'cause the jobs were so mundane and

Across the board, the economists find that industries that adopted IT at

The challenge, says Piccard, is to keep going until the next sunrise before
the batteries are empty: “We have very little margin of error from night
into day. Each dawn will be a moment of incredible suspense.”
O desafio, diz Piccard, é continuar até o próximo nascer do sol antes que
as baterias estejam vazias: "Nós temos muito pouca margem de erro da

incrível."
For the 2011 flight, he and Boschberg will do alternating stints of five days
and five nights between landings. A day on the ground spent charging in
the sunlight should be enough to get the plane back into the air the next
morning for another stage in its globe-girdling journey. It’s a delicate
enterprise, complicated by meteorological challenges and the ungainliness
of a plane this big and light.

prior informed consent (PIC) from competent authorities in the provider

Among other things, the report opines that there is a “danger of assessing
traditional knowledge only from a mercantile point of view,” and notes “that
the existing IPR framework does not fit such a heterogeneous group as
traditional knowledge holders.”
For this reason, the report states that there is a “need to define a sui generis
international IPR regime that preserves the diversity of interest of local
communities and reflects customary law.”
The report expresses the view that when the EU implements the Nagoya
Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing, it “should grant traditional
knowledge at least the same level of protection as genetic resources.”

The broad application of the term “industrial” is clearly set out in the
Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (Article 1 (3)):
“Industrial property shall be understood in the broadest sense and shall
apply not only to industry and commerce proper, but likewise to agricultural

What counts here is that the object of industrial property typically consists
of signs transmitting information, in particular to consumers, as regards
products and services offered on the market. Protection is directed against
unauthorized use of such signs likely to mislead consumers, and against
misleading practices in general.
