== Global market for non ==

<html>RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- The global market for non-lethal weapons is growing and will top $1.1 billion by 2018, says a report on the commercial impact of non-conventional warfare.

The non-lethal weapons market is usually defined as being distinct from the industry that seeks to excel in the delivery of enemy destruction in the most efficient and economical way possible.

As expected,[http://www.suyiguo.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=502304 PIX11 remembers Steve Jacobson on 12th anniversary of 9-11]

[http://www.suyiguo.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=502304 <sup>PIX11 remembers Steve Jacobson on 12th anniversary of 9-11</sup>], both areas are mired in ambiguity and subject to endless discussion among industry stake holders. But recent regional conflicts that are neither full-scale wars nor long-drawn battles have driven the market for non-lethal weapons, said to be worth $880.5 million in 2013.

A steady increase in market growth is set to raise that level to $1.15 billion by 2018, the report, "Non-Lethal Weapons Market?(2013-2018)," said.

Civil unrest such as in Brazil and other Latin American countries is seen as a boon for the non-lethal weapons manufacturers. Governments' response to Arab Spring democracy movements in the Middle East and Africa have also generated new demand for non-lethal weaponry acquisitions by beleaguered rulers in those areas.

Urban violence, including student protests in Brazil and Chile and labor revolts in Argentina, have proven a boon to the non-lethal weapons manufacturing industry, which remains concentrated in the West. But the rise of new manufacturing capacity elsewhere, including Latin America and China and other countries in East Asia, is seen likely to buck that trend.

Besides leading manufacturer Brazil in Latin America, several new suppliers for non-lethal weaponry have cropped up, posing a challenge on both price and delivery. Manufacturers in the United States and elsewhere in the West are up against rivals who compete on price, payment terms and lack of parliamentary controls that often come in the way of lucrative arms exports.

"The change in the nature of warfare from conventional to insurgency and war in urban terrain has been a driving factor for the non-lethal weapons sector," said MarketsandMarkets, which published the report.

"The sector is highly competitive with a host of industry participants vying for contracts, and austerity in most Western countries is expected to increase competition," the report said.

The report looked at non-lethal "blunt impact" weapons, including batons and rubber bullets, dispersed weapons, such as tear gas and pepper sprays, electrical devices and directed-energy weapons such stun guns and anti-vehicle weapons that stop short of destroying the target.

"Non-lethal weapons are designed with the intent to minimize casualties and significant injuries, as well as undesired damage to property, in comparison with the use of lethal weapons in the same situations," the U.S. Defense Department's joint non-lethal weapons program says.

The United States is expected to procure non-lethal weapons worth more than $1 billion during the five-year period. 

There have been increased purchases by Russia and many of the emerging economies, including countries in the Middle East, that have had to deal with internal dissent and related domestic security issues.

Apart from the existing non-lethal weapons technology, a number of new capabilities are being developed, mainly by manufacturers in the United States, the report says.

These are likely to include sensor-fused non-lethal munitions,[http://metrorailindia.com/nba-jerseys.html <span style="font-weight: bold">cheap nba basketball jerseys</span>], distributed sound and light array, vehicle and vessel stopping devices, and multi-frequency radio-frequency vehicle stopper,[http://philipcareaids.org/Involve.html <span style="font-weight: bold">Denver Broncos Jerseys Wholesale</span>], the report says.

However, a recent European symposium on non-lethal weapons considered controversies surrounding the non-lethal weapons.

"Some twenty years have already passed since the earliest deployments of NLW, and these equipments represent an important tool for most of the military and law enforcement personnel," the Seventh European Symposium on Non-Lethal Weapons in Ettlingen, Germany, considered in an introduction.

"Yet, despite many significant success stories and results,<a name="http://metrorailindia.com/nba-jerseys.html"><u>nba jerseys</u></a>, there are great uncertainties and,[http://www.jxhy.net.cn/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=356127 ]

== Lady Gaga overtime lawsuit gets boost ==

<html>Lady Gaga took a hit Tuesday when a federal judge ruled that her personal assistant’s overtime lawsuit can proceed to trial, according to court papers.

Lady Gaga – whose legal name is Stefani Germanotta – was sued by her assistant Jennifer O’Neill, who claimed the 27-year-old “Bad Romance” singer worked her to the bone but never paid her overtime.

“I was by her side virtually 24 hours a day, seven days a week,[http://philipcareaids.org/Involve.html <strike>Denver Broncos Jerseys Wholesale</strike>],” O’Neill testified earlier.

O’Neill said she was paid a flat rate of $50,000 per year when she was first hired in early 2009 and $75,000 when she hired the second time in 2010.

Manhattan Federal Court Judge Paul Gardephe said the suit can move forward on two issues – whether O’Neill’s on-call time constituted work and how any potential overtime pay should be calculated,[http://duto.ca/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=439790 Tunnel to Towers Foundation takes mobile 9-11 exhibit from big cities to small t]

“While on tour, O’Neill often slept in the same bed as Germonatta, and in the event Germonatta needed something in the middle of the night, Plaintiff was expected to satisfy that demand,<strong>[http://metrorailindia.com/nba-jerseys.html nba jerseys]</strong>,” the Judge wrote.

The judge did throw out one portion of the suit – which seeks $390,000 plus damages – dismissing O’Neill’s claim that she should be compensated under New York State law for overtime she did outside the state.

The trial is scheduled to begin November 4.

Lawyers for the New York-raised Lady Gaga could not be reached. O’Neill lawyer Virginia Trunkes declined comment.</html>
