A jury on Monday quickly and completely rejected a mans claim that Disneys Moana was stolen from his story of a young surfer in Hawaii.The Los Angeles federal jury deliberated for only about 2 hours before deciding that the creators of Moana never had access to writer and animator Buck Woodalls outlines and script for Bucky the Surfer Boy.With that question settled, the jury of six women and two men didnt even have to consider the similarities between Bucky and Disneys 2016 hit animated film about a questing Polynesian princess.Woodall had shared his work with a distant relative, who worked for a different company on the Disney lot, but the woman testified during the two-week trial that she never showed it to anyone at Disney.Obviously were disappointed, Woodalls attorney Gustavo Lage said outside court. Were going to review our options and think about the best path forward.In closing arguments earlier Monday, Woodalls attorney said that a long chain of circumstantial evidence showed the two works were inseparable.There was no Moana without Bucky, Lage said.Defense lawyer Moez Kaba said that the evidence showed overwhelmingly that Moana was clearly the creation and crowning achievement of the 40-year career of John Musker and Ron Clements, the writers and directors behind 1989s The Little Mermaid, 1992s Aladdin, 1997s Hercules, and 2009s The Princess and the Frog.They had no idea about Bucky, Kaba said in his closing. They had never seen it, never heard of it.Moana earned nearly $700 million at the global box office.A judge previously ruled that Woodalls 2020 lawsuit came too late for him to claim a piece of those receipts, and that a lawsuit he filed earlier this year over Moana 2which earned more than $1 billionmust be decided separately. That suit remains active, though the jurys decision does not bode well for it. Judge Consuelo B. Marshall, who is also overseeing the sequel lawsuit, said after the verdict that she agreed with the jurors decision about access.We are incredibly proud of the collective work that went into the making of Moana and are pleased that the jury found it had nothing to do with Plaintiffs works, Disney said in a statement.Musker and Disneys attorneys declined to comment outside the courtroom.The relatively young jury of six women and two men watched Moana in its entirety in the courtroom. They considered a story outline that Woodall created for Bucky in 2003, along with a 2008 update and a 2011 script.In the latter versions of the story, the title character, vacationing in Hawaii with his parents, befriends a group of Native Hawaiian youth and goes on a quest that includes time travel to the ancient islands and interactions with demigods to save a sacred site from a developer.Around 2004, Woodall gave the Bucky outline to the stepsister of his brothers wife. That woman, Jenny Marchick, worked for Mandeville Films, a company that had a contract with Disney and was located on the Disney lot. He sent her follow-up materials through the years. He testified that he was stunned when he saw Moana in 2016 and saw so many of his ideas.Along with her testimony saying she didnt show Bucky to anyone, messages shared by the defense showed she eventually ignored Woodalls queries to her and had told him there was nothing she could do for him.Disney attorney Kaba argued there was no evidence Marchick ever worked on Moana or received any credit or compensation for it.Kaba pointed out that Marchick, now head of features development at DreamWorks Animation, worked for key Disney competitors Sony and Fox during much of the time she was allegedly making use of Woodalls work for Disney.Woodall also submitted the script directly to Disney and had a meeting with an assistant at the Disney Channel, which Marchick arranged for him, to talk about working as an animator. But jurors agreed that this didnt give them reason to believe that Bucky made its way to Musker, Clements or their collaborators.Lage, Woodalls attorney, outlined some of the similarities of the two works in his closing.Both include teens on oceanic quests.Both have Polynesian demigods as central figures and shape-shifting characters who turn into, among other things, insects, and sharks.In both, the main characters interact with animals who act as spirit helpers.Kaba said many of these elements, including Polynesian lore and basic staples of literature, are not copyrightable.Shape-shifting among supernatural characters, he said, appears throughout films including The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Hercules, which made Musker and Clements essential to the Disney renaissance of the 1990s and made Disney a global powerhouse.Animal guides go back to movies as early as 1940s Pinocchio and appear in all of Musker and Clements previous films, he said.Kaba said Musker and Clements developed Moana the same way they did the other films, through their own inspiration, research, travel and creativity.The lawyer said thousands of pages of development documents showed every step of Musker and Clements creation, whose spark came from the paintings of Paul Gaugin and the writings of Herman MelvilleYou can see every single fingerprint, Kaba said. You can see the entire genetic makeup of Moana.Andrew Dalton, AP Entertainment Writer

Old 401(k)s are a little like the old clothes in the back of your closet. You know you should do something about them, but there they sit, mostly out of sight and mind.And so it is with your old 401(k). If deciding what to do with an old (k) plan has been on your to-do list for a while, here are the key steps you should take to get it done.Step 1: Check your account value.If your balance in your former employers 401(k) plan is over $7,000, you can leave the money behind in the old plan or roll the assets into an IRA or your new employers 401(k).But if your balance falls below that $7,000 threshold, some of the decision-making may be out of your hands.Step 2: Determine whether to stay within the 401(k) confines.Assuming your balance is over $7,000, your next task is to decide whether to roll the money into an IRA or keep it inside a 401(k).I often recommend rolling over the assets from a former 401(k) into a no-fee IRA with a top-notch mutual fund company or discount broker. But some people value the extra creditor protections that can accompany 401(k) assets versus IRA assets, while others may prize 401(k)-specific investment options.Step 3: Assess the quality of your 401(k) options.If you think you will be better off leaving your money inside a 401(k) rather than rolling it over to an IRA, the next job is to conduct some research on your own 401(k) options.Even if you do decide to stay with a 401(k), you may need to decide whether youre better off staying put in your former employers plan or that of your new employer.Step 4: Find the right IRA provider.If a rollover to an IRA is the way to go, the next step is to identify the right brokerage firm or mutual fund company. Look for a firm that offers a breadth of high-quality investment options with no additional layers of fees for IRA investors. Target-date funds are an elegant, low-maintenance, and underutilized option.Step 5: Decide whether to convert your traditional 401(k) assets to Roth.If you decide to roll Roth 401(k) contributions to an IRA or your current employers 401(k), your new account will be Roth, too, meaning that you wont owe tax on qualified withdrawals.If you have traditional 401(k) assets, a rollover is also a good time to consider whether to convert those assets to a Roth account at the same time.Step 6: Execute.If youve decided to roll over your assets to an IRA, fill out the paperwork or online form to open the IRA. Youll then request a direct rollover from your 401(k) plan to the new IRA provider.The process may be a bit more cumbersome if youre rolling over to your current employers 401(k).In both cases, make sure your 401(k) provider makes the check payable to the provider and sends it directly to them, rather than to you. If the check is made out to you, 20% of the balance will be withheld for income tax. Youll then have 60 days to get that money deposited into an IRA or another 401(k); if that deadline comes and goes, the distribution will count as a withdrawal and youll owe ordinary income tax and a 10% early withdrawal penalty if youre not 55 or older.Step 7: Determine what to invest in.If youve decided to roll over your assets from an old 401(k) to another 401(k) or IRA, youll also have to determine how youll allocate those assets.If all of your retirement assets were in your old 401(k), a sturdy target-date fund is a one-stop, low-maintenance choice that you can hold into retirement. If your old 401(k) is just one of several accounts geared toward retirement, a rollover can be an ideal time to check up on how all the pieces fit togetherand where you have holes.This article was provided to The Associated Press by Morningstar.

This VIW Building, by Brazilian architects Ivan Ventura and Yuri Vital, has some rather unusual balconies. Sited on the coast of the Brazilian city of Ubatuba, the 27-unit building allows residents to take a dip without actually traveling to the beach. (Which seems a shame, as the beach is literally across the street, but that's humanity for you.) "The pools are not merely leisure elements," writes the design team, "they are reflections of the fusion between nature and contemporary architecture." They say the zigzag profile of the pools was inspired by "the majestic winding mountains that surround Ubatuba."

Back in the '90s, industrial designers had free reign to produce things that were fun and whimsical, bordering on silly. This Umbrella Chair, designed by Gaetano Pesce and manufactured by Italy's ZeroDisegno, is a good case in point: In 1995, the aluminum and polyurethane chair won an award from Interior Design magazine.One thing that was apparently not a criteria for the judges: The quality of the molds. Or perhaps the polyurethane hasn't stood the test of time.

Even the most frugal of people probably have more than two pairs of shoes. Most probably have half a dozen at least, and thats not counting those that have been hoarded and kept in storage indefinitely. Despite their small sizes or probably exactly because of it, shoes are notorious for being difficult to keep in a way thats both efficient and aesthetic. Racks can keep them in one place but they might as well just be piled on top of each other haphazardly. Hanging them keeps them off the floor but also looks awkward and unappealing.Storing footwear in multiple boxes is an age-old solution that works, at least until its time to wear them and you find yourself precariously balancing yourself on each foot. Potential designs try to be smart and end up being complicated and unsustainable, so who would have guessed that the best answer would be nothing more than a simple wooden box with a simple yet clever trick?Designer: Murmur IndustriesThey say that sometimes the best solutions are the simplest ones, and nothing can be simpler than a wooden box. The Quadrant Shoeboxs simplicity is rather deceptive, however, as it actually performs two functions in one. Three if you count the aesthetic value that it adds to your space with its beautiful wooden finish. Quadrant serves as a simple bench you can sit on while putting on your shoes and tying your laces, providing safety and convenience in a simple shape.Thats not to say that Quadrant has no tricks up its sleeves, or in this case, up its shelf. The front (or side, if you prefer) of the box swivels down, revealing a wedge-shaped compartment with space for six pairs of footwear, at least depending on their sizes. Whats impressive is how the box retains its structural stability even when the shoe rack is folded out, allowing you to sit securely on top while picking out which pair to wear for the day.There is also a bit of ingenuity to the design of the door handle, which looks like a simple pill-shaped hole. The whole is actually cut at an angle so that you can still lift up the cover even if its lying flat on the floor. With this mechanism, there is no need for any additional parts like protruding handles to grasp, keeping the design simple and minimalist.Made from Baltic birch wood, the Quadrant Shoebox and Bench does more than just provide functional storage for shoes and seating furniture. Even when standing alone, it brings a touch of natural warmth and beauty to any space. Plus, you can stack up two or three of these and still look elegant, though you might have difficulty reaching for your shoes the higher you stack them.The post This wooden box is a clever and beautiful way to store your shoes first appeared on Yanko Design.
