Frequently Asked Questions
All information provided is for Educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice
Why choose A|Squared Legal Group over an online formation service (e.g. LegalZoom)?
Starting your business with A|SquaredLegal Group not only ensures that you start on solid ground, but also makes sure that you have a relationship with an attorney that you can return to if you encounter legal issues down the road. Once your business needs are thoroughly understood, A|Squared can determine the best entity type for your business. Not only will all of the necessary paperwork be filed for you, but we will advise you on the best governance structure for your business and any further steps you may need to complete in the future.
Can I have face-to-face consultations, too?
Yes. A|Squared Legal Group is available to meet with you in person or via video conferencing, whichever is conducive for your busy schedule. Contact us to make an appointment.
Why A|Squared Legal Group when I can provide my own legal services?
A|Squared Legal Group was founded to provide you with the full-service general counsel needed to create and sustain a profitable business. Acting as your own attorney hinders you from focusing on your business. Although you may save money initially, your business will likely be legally vulnerable which can result in considerable legal fees and headaches in the future.
Hourly Fee
The traditional model. You will place an advance deposit in our trust account. We track our time, and send an invoice monthly or upon conclusion of the retained matter.
Value Billing Promise - Hourly
We think it's important that clients understand the work we do, the time it takes, and how that work advances your matter. That's why we offer a Value Billing Promise for hourly work: If you review your bill and don't find value in our services, tell us why. Then just pay the balance of your bill — you will owe us nothing for the work you do not value. This is not a guarantee of any result — there are times when even excellent counsel will not get the results you seek. Our expectation is that you will find value in everything we do. But ultimately, that's your decision, not ours.
Flat Fee
If the scope of work is predictable, we can propose a flat fee that locks in the rate for us to handle the entire matter. You'll pay up front, and won't receive any surprise invoices.
For a set monthly fee, our firm will deliver a defined set of legal services. This means we'll work with you on a recurring basis to ensure that the business is always in tip-top shape. You'll know up front how much to budget each month, and what exactly is included. Pricing starts at $500 / month.

Alternative Fees
These include fees based on a contingency, hybrid hourly-contingency, budgets, volume-based discounts, and even equity investments. Generally, these fees take a bit longer to negotiate.
What is a contract?
A contract is a legally binding agreement between parties that creates an obligation to do something, or, in some cases, not do something
Why should I use a written contract?
Most businesses don't realize the importance of a good, solid contract, not only as protection but also to use as a roadmap for the working relationship between the parties. A good contract decreases misunderstandings, provides methods for resolving problems, and defines the exact relationship between the parties.
What does "breach" mean?
A party breaches a contract when that party breaks its end of the deal or fails to fulfill its obligations under the contract.
What happens if someone breaches a contract?
Most contracts are enforced in court. If the other party breaches the contract, you can go to court to try to collect damages or obtain "specific performance." However, some contracts have an arbitration clause which requires any disputes to be arbitrated by a neutral party.
This contract template I found online should be sufficient, right?
Probably not.Attempting to customize a contract template will often fail to protect you and your business. Often times these "contracts" omit very important terms, contain irrelevant provisions, and/or use confusing language. Unless you are staying current on the relevant statutes and case law in Michigan, contact A|Squared Legal Group to draft your custom contracts.
I was given this contract and it looks okay – I think. Should I sign it?
No. Do not sign a contract until you completely understand the terms and conditions of the contract. A|Squared Legal Group can provide you with a detailed, plain English interpretation of the proposed contract. Our interpretation will make you aware of any provisions that should be of concern and/or any provisions to be added for the protection of your business.
What is a "trademark" or "servicemark"?
A trademark is a word, name, symbol, or device used in trade to indicate the source of goods and to distinguish them from the goods of others. A servicemark is the same, except it indicates and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a good. The terms "trademark" and "mark" are commonly used to refer to both trademarks and servicemarks.
What is the difference between the use of TM, SM and ®?
Any time you claim rights in a mark, you may use the "TM" (trademark) or "SM" (service mark) designation to alert the public to your claim, regardless of whether you have filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). However, you may use the federal registration symbol "®" only after the USPTO actually registers a mark, and not while an application is pending.
Should marks be registered?
Registration is not required, as the right or ownership of a mark is established by the legitimate use of the mark. However, securing a registered trademark is highly recommended because it provides exclusive rights to prevent unauthorized use of the mark. One of the main benefits of registering a trademark is that it is an important step toward building your business and protecting its image and goodwill
Do I need a trademark attorney to register the mark?
No, you can file the application yourself. However, the services of a trademark attorney who is familiar with conducting searches, the detailed application filing procedure and maintenance requirements will help you to save time, ensure proper protection in the appropriate trademark classes and avoid unwarranted rejection.Contact ASquared to get started on your application.
Can I apply for a registration of the mark without actually using it?
Yes. You can file an application on a bonafide "intent to use" basis. Therefore, ifyou have not yet used the mark but plan to do so in the future, you may file an application based on a good faith or bona fide intent to use the mark in commerce. A bona fide intent to use the mark is more than an idea and less than market ready. For example, having a business plan, creating sample products, or performing other initial business activities may reflect a bona fide intent to use the mark.
How long does a trademark last?
Rights in a federally-registered mark can last indefinitely if the owner continues to use the mark on or in connection with the goods/services in the registration and files all necessary documentation in the USPTO at the appropriate times.
How long will it take to register the trademark with the USPTO?
Registration with the USPTO is not instantaneous and requires patience. The applicant should receive a response to the application from the USPTO within six (6) months from filing the application. However, the total time for an application to be processed may be more than a year, depending on the basis for filing, and the legal issues which may arise in the examination of the application.
What if there is a trademark infringement?
If there has been an infringement of your trademark, you can file a claim under the federal and state laws. As the owner, the responsibility will be on you to prove that the use of a similar mark by the infringer has created a likelihood of confusion. If you are successful in establishing that there has been an infringement: (i) the court will grant an injunction against further infringement, (ii) your attorney's fees will be refunded, if the mark is federally registered and (iii) you may be awarded monetary damages.
What is a "copyright"?
A copyright is a legal right granted to authors of "original works of authorship" that are fixed in a tangible form of expression, whether published or unpublished. Copyright protection is available for the following types of works: literary, musical, dramatic, choreographic, architectural, pictorial, graphic, sculptural, sound recordings, motion pictures and other audiovisual works.
What are the benefits of timely copyright registration?
Although copyright protection exists once a work is reduced to writing (or any other tangible medium), a copyright must be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office before a party may sue in federal court for its infringement. A bonus is granted to those that register their copyrights immediately, or within three (3) months of publication, in the form of statutory damages and attorney's fees for any future infringement. Contact us to get started on your registration.

Simultaneous determination of diosmin and diosmetin in human plasma by ion trap liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry: Application to a clinical pharmacokinetic study
Campanero MA, Escolar M, Perez G, Garcia-Quetglas E, Sadaba B, Azanza JR.
Clinical Pharmacology, University of Navarra Clinic, 31080 Pamplona, Spain.
Revista: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis
Fecha: 01-dic-2009Farmacología Clínica
Diosmetin (3',5,7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone) is the aglycone of the flavonoid glycoside diosmin (3',5,7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone-7-ramnoglucoside). Diosmin is hydrolyzed by enzymes of intestinal micro flora before absorption of its aglycone diosmetin. A specific, sensitive, precise, accurate and robust HPLC assay for the simultaneous determination of diosmin and diosmetin in human plasma was developed and validated. Plasma samples were incubated with beta-glucuronidase/sulphatase.
The analytes were isolated by liquid-liquid extraction with tert-butyl methyl ether at pH 2, and separated on a C(18) reversed-phase column using a mixture of methanol/1% formic acid (58:42, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.5ml/min. APCI in the positive ion mode and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) method was employed. The selected transitions for diosmin, diosmetin and the internal standard (7-ethoxycoumarin) at m/z were: 609.0-->463.0, 301.2-->286.1 and 191, respectively.
A good linearity was found in the range of 0.25-500ng/ml (R(2)>0.992) for both compounds. The intra-batch assay precision (CV) for diosmin and diosmetin ranged from 1.5% to 11.2% and from 2.8% to 12.5%, respectively, and the inter-batch precision were from 5.2% to 11.5% and 8.5% to 9.8%, respectively. The accuracy was well within the acceptable range the accuracies (from -2.7% to 4.2% and -1.6% to 3.5% for diosmin and diosmetin, respectively). The mean recoveries of diosmin, diosmetin and the internal standard were 87.5%, 89.2% and 67.2%. Stability studies showed that diosmin and diosmetin were stable in different conditions.
Finally, the method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of diosmin in healthy volunteers following a single oral administration (Daflon).

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
LITIGATION Release No. 16842 / December 27, 2000
Securities and Exchange Commission v. John Westergaard, et al., U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Civil Action No. 00 Civ.9776)
The Commission today sued John Westergaard, Westergaard.com, Inc., and Westergaard Broadcasting Network.com, Inc. (collectively WCI or defendants) for broadly disseminating on the Internet and through press releases purportedly "independent" analysis of publicly-traded securities when in fact defendants had been paid to publish that analysis. The complaint alleges that the defendants charged small-cap publicly traded companies up to $48,000 to publish positive reports about them that were disseminated through three media: press releases, an Internet radio show, and an Internet website. The complaint also alleges that Westergaard misled prospective investors by falsely claiming the analysis was "independent," and that all the defendants failed to comply with mandatory requirements to disclose compensation received in connection with the publication of securities analysis, in violation of Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933. As alleged in the complaint:
Simultaneously with the filing of the Complaint, Westergaard.com, Inc. and Westergaard Broadcasting Network, Inc. settled the charges against them by consenting, without admitting or denying the Commission's allegations, to the entry of an order permanently enjoining them from violating Section 17(b) of the Securities Act.
As to John Westergaard, the Complaint seeks a permanent injunction against violations of Section 17(b) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and civil penalties.

Trusting in God When Everything Seems Wrong
I'm letting Jenifer take the helm today and share an update on behalf of our family. The following is from her Facebook wall last night...
An Important Johnson (Extended Family) Update….
Exactly one day after returning home from speaking at an awesome ladies retreat in Lafayette, Louisiana, my phone rang. My parents called with news that my dad had been diagnosed with cancer. The pathologist in Houston had sent the biopsy to the Mayo Clinic because he couldn't figure out what it was. Anyone who has had cancer or has walked intimately through it with a loved one knows that our week of waiting to hear back from Mayo was agonizing!!!
In preparation for the retreat, Christ had very intimately walked me through the reality that we are not in control of our lives. (I have always wanted to control every part of my life. He has made it clear to me that it all boils down to my struggle with fear.) During that week of waiting to hear from Mayo – and doing a lot of crying out to God - I feel like He said to me, "I know you thought that amazing retreat was for all those ladies you shared with. But I had you share on control and fear to prepare you for what was coming in your own life."
I have officially entered a season where I am going to have to practice what I preach.
In the last several years, I have walked through a great deal of loss and suffering. While I used to shake my fist at God and question His will and His love, in recent years my perspective has significantly changed.
The words of Paul in Philippians 1:21 perfectly capture the reality of my dad's situation. Paul's profession of faith was this: "To live is Christ and to die is gain." My dad (and the rest of us) can walk with confidence, praying that God will heal him and give him many more years to serve Jesus with passion. That's exactly what we are hoping for. No man I have ever known is more fully committed to building God's Kingdom here on earth than my father. For him to live another 25 years would truly be a victory.
However, Paul went on to say, "I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far." He knew that to die was the ultimate victory…the ultimate healing. I have come to peace with this in recent years, knowing that my Christian friends who have died from cancer have not "lost their battle" with that horrible disease. No. They got healed and they are now in the presence of a loving God, basking in His glory and forever hearing Him declare how much He loves them. "To die is gain."
This world is so temporary. It has nothing to offer us. Of course, we will make the most of the precious relationships we have here and savor every beautiful thing in God's creation, but this earth is certainly not our home. So I will not fear. I know that at the end of each of my fears and my "what ifs…" I will find my Jesus waiting for me. And that gives me incredible hope and comfort.
So back to the update…
Dad's cancer is a rare form of melanoma that grows inside the sinus cavity. He has a full schedule of tests this week at M.D. Anderson in Houston and we hope to get a treatment plan mapped out next week. We have been very impressed with the care there and we absolutely love his doctor. He is an Egyptian-born physician who is very gifted, but he also attends First Baptist Houston where my dad's Oilfield Christian Fellowship ministry meets every month.
Please be in prayer for my dad and mom…and for me. While we are fully trusting in God, this journey will not be any fun. I plan to use Facebook to post occasional updates, because verbally sharing the details over and over again really wears me out emotionally. On a related note, our family certainly welcomes words of encouragement and hope, but I don't think hearing everyone's cancer story is very helpful right now. Thanks for understanding!
We can't wait to see how God will be glorified in my dad's life as we walk through this journey of faith. God is so very near to each of us!

Debt, Denial, and Disgust

Ben Bernanke's iphone
By Brittany Yurkovitch on 7/25/2012 Honest money supporters achieved a great victory today with the passing of Ron Paul's Audit the Fed Bill. Although I am not convinced auditing the Fed will actually bring us closer to monetary sanity, I am happy to see the people educating themselves on how this institution actually functions.

Goldwin Smith Professor of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology
Molecular Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine/Chemistry and Chemical Biology, College of Arts and Sciences
Biochemical, structural, genetic, and small-molecule chemistry
Current Research Interest
Biological signaling pathways involved in cell growth and differentiation, with particular emphasis on cancer progression and neurogenesis
The research efforts of my laboratory have focused on understanding how cellular signaling pathways influence cell growth and differentiation, as well as how aberrant signaling activities lead to disease states such as cancer and other disorders. The laboratory is multi-disciplinary using various cell systems and mouse models to identify novel signaling events that influence fundamentally important biological processes, and chemistry and structural approaches to define the molecular basis for these events. Three major areas of interest are currently being pursued.
The first involves the development and application of structural methods to gain a more complete picture of how G proteins become activated and transmit signals within the context of the cell membrane. The second involves the use of small molecule chemistry to identify novel pathways necessary to satisfy the bioenergetics and metabolic requirement of cancer cells to proliferate at high rates and become invasive, with the ultimate goal of defining new strategies for therapeutic intervention. The third focuses on the recent identification of a new class of membrane vesicles that are shed by cancer cells and stem cells, with the goal being to understand how these vesicles play critical roles in the development of the malignant state and in stem cell biology.

on 27.
I turn 28 tomorrow.. I remember when I was 19 thinking that if someone was 28 they like REALLYYYYY had their s*** together. Um. Ok.
Each year around my birthday, I reflect on what I learned in this one year.
Birthdays are a weird thing my friend. I LOVE my birthday. I have no shame in admitting this. I typically have to remind Matt the night before his birthday that its the night before his birthday. Opposite ends of the spectrum. But I really am one woo woo for self-reflection. Maybe its the all-girls Catholic high school student in me but a good 'retreat' to 'reflect' is something I yearn.
And so, without further ado..... my list.
10 Things I learned in my 27th year.
Tractors are really freaking amazing machines. - Every single day I say to Matt "What would we do without this tractor!?!?" We saved a LOT of pennies for our tractor. It is worth every single one. We would not be 1/100th of the way through our list for the farm if we didn't have this machine.
Internet friends are not weird. As many of you know, our Instagram account has been a fun project for us this year. A lot of people have their opinions about social media, especially Instagram. But it has introduced me to some of really awesome people. By finding blogs/feeds i love and following them, I've become friends with some amazing florists, creatives, farmhers... you name it. And its allll about interaction my friends. Reach out to someone who you seem to connect with, chances are they will reach back. Because its a magical community of female creatives out there who all want you to succeed, I promise.
The support will surprise you. For months Matt and I worked on the plan to sell our house in Cadillac, buy the farm and start this entire adventure. We were really really quiet about it. But once we had unloaded the moving truck it was time to share the news. I cried the night before I sent that blog post. I was scared people would be mad, or upset. And people were. And thats fine. Because the people who really love us were incredibly supportive. And still are. The people who push you away? Don't take it personally (its hard not to) projection my friend. Support will surprise you.
Prune your trees, please. When your farm has been neglected for 3 full years its quite 'overgrown.' Imagine if you didn't get a haircut for lets say, 8 years.... what would you look like? Remember your trees. We have spent entire days pruning, taking down & cutting up trees that essentially suffocated themselves to death. Don't forget your other plants! Shrubs! Bushes! Hedges! Prune prune prune. I'm lucky to have a tree expert who loves me & who gives me tons of advice. Call a tree service. Have them come out and tell you what needs to happen. The trees will thank you.
Date your spouse. Just do it. Put your phone down. Hold hands. Surprise one another. Write notes. Its easy to get really lost in the craziness and go on auto pilot. Trust me. Make an effort to date the person you committed to.
Hydrate. Whenever I'm about to bite someone's head off, or lose my cool, or need just a few minutes to figure stuff out, I have a glass of water. Take your body weight in lbs, divide by two. That is the number of OUNCES you should aim to have per day of amazing aqua. Your skin, sleep, mood, joints, overall health, ability to stay on task & wine headache when you overindulge will thank you.
Living on a budget is life changing. Before I lived on a written budget each month, I thought that budgeting was for.... people with major financial issues, people who have spending addictions, people who don't like fun & people who are boring. Boy was I wrong. Matt and I have been making a monthly budget for 15 months now. It has absolutely changed the way we live. And guess what!? We still have fun. We still go out to dinner. Buy wine. I still buy face loofahs on Amazon. Budgeting just helps us lay everything out in its place and have much more control of where our money goes. We use the app, Everydollar and I cannot recommend it enough. If you want to hear our ENTIRE story of budgeting shoot me an email. But its really awesome.
When in doubt... Pizza - I estimate that I've hosted 14 dinner parties this year. I've glazed, roasted, sauteed, shopped for special ingredients, worked around dietary preferences... you name it. And you know what is the best crowd pleaser time after time? PIZZA. Homemade freaking pizza. Give everyone their crust (get good dough, its all the difference), make a huge buffet of toppings & open the wine. Pizza is untouchable. There is a reason that its one of the greatest foods on the planet. I've taken my 'when in doubt pizza' mantra to other parts of my life as well. When we are still digging flower beds at 9 pm..... 'We have dough in the fridge, lets make a veggie pizza.' When we are visiting friends downstate and want to 'go out' 'lets go to the best pizza place.' Remember, keep it simple.
Nothing beats a Cafe Au Lait dahila. Nothing. I instagram often about my favorite flowers. Dahlias take the cake. But tulips.... a close second. I also love a good peony. Last year, with serious success, I tossed some dahlia tubers in some pots and sorta forgot about them. Then, like a gift from the heavens... I got Cafe Au Lait dahlias.... do yourself a favor a go google image these things. We've got a lot to grow this summer and I'm so excited I cannot stand it.
Whatever is really scaring you, you should go do. Terrified of public speaking? Sign up for a class. Scared to travel alone? Book a flight. In our hearts we all have a desire to do something we don't tell many people about. Get your pilot's license. Start your business. Write a blog. I've read a LOT about fear and the grit we require to push past it. If you have an idea you can't stop thinking of. The one that keeps you up at night. The one that you scribble about on Delta Airlines napkins 28,000 feet above the ground. The one that when you've had 4 glasses of wine you whisper about to a friend. That one thing. Do it. I don't care how long you have to save, or how stupid 'it may look,' or how 'crazy people will think you are.' Living in the fear, everyday.... its oddly relaxing. It's almost as if fear were a hurricane, this big scary idea looming and swirling in front of you, but in the eye of the storm? Everything is clearer. Stop living someone elses plan for your life. You do you boo!
Cheers to 28.

Last June, Scott Renfroe, a Colorado state senator running in a crowded GOP congressional primary, was hit with a slashing attack ad that accused him of supporting "taxpayer-funded bailouts" for a failed local bank.
"Not conservative," declared the ad run by a Denver-based nonprofit group called Citizens for a Sound Government. The spot hit two weeks before the primary, which Renfroe lost by 20 points.

He was addressing a meeting of the steering committee constituted for the execution of Cholistan development package.
The CS while speaking at the meeting stressed that more work should be done in less time while materialising the Punjab CM's vision and it should be assessed as which facility was needed the most in Cholistan.
He said that Rs2.5 billion package announced by the CM should be utilized with transparency to ensure social and economic revolution in Cholistan.
He directed to take on board elected local representatives in the completion and monitoring of the development projects.
It was decided in the meeting that project regarding de-silting of 1,100 tobas should be started the next week and all out arrangements should be ensured in this regard. It was also decided that grass and plants should be planted alongside these tobas.
On the demands of local representatives, the CS directed to give preference locals in hiring labourers for the projects. He also directed that the process of agricultural land allotments in Cholistan should be made transparent and marking of boundaries of Chaks in Cholistan should be completed within the next two and half months.

Aiming to make it harder for outsiders to gain access to accounts, Twitter has now introduced a new, optional two-step log-in process, similar to that used by some UK online banking sites.
The move comes a month after news agency Associated Press was hacked and a tweet sent stock markets plunging, and in the same week as a small number of The Telegraph's twitter feeds were also hacked.
Users will now have the option of using a code sent via text message to a mobile phone in order to confirm their log in details, Jim O'Leary, a member of Twitter's product security team, said in a blog post yesterday.
To activate the service users need to:
1. Register their mobile phone with Twitter. To do this, log in to Twitter.com and go to the cog wheel icon in the top right hand corner of your Twitter page, click on it and then 'settings'.
2. Scroll down to Account Security, where there's an option to 'Require a verification code when I sign in'. If you haven't registered a phone number, Twitter will offer you a link to do so, and the verfication code option will be greyed-out until your phone is activated. Click the link to register your phone.
3. When prompted, text 'Go' to 86444 if you're in the UK.
4. Twitter will confirm that your mobile is activated.
5. Now click 'Require a verification code when I sign in', which should no longer be greyed out. If it is, you may need to refresh the web page page.
6. Twitter will now send you another message confirming it can send verification codes to your device.
7. When you next log in to Twitter, a text message will be sent to your device, and you'll need to enter it to confirm your identity and complete the log-in process.
Note that you can currently only register one mobile per account.

Viewing Party
Social app for HoloLens | Solo project by Yinghua, 2018 | Built with Unity, C#, Blender, Photoshop, and Premiere
People have social needs when watching matches or shows. Two traditional ways to meet such needs: 1) hosting a viewing party; 2) messaging with friends. Neither solution is ideal. Hosting a party is exhausting, while constant looking down to text friends distracts people from TV viewing. Although virtual reality allows people to watch sports immersively, the average review of such VR apps is bad because of their poor quality of video streaming. In addition, using a VR headset causes isolation to the people sitting around you.
VIEWING PARTY is a social app for AR headsets that augments your TV-viewing experience by: 1) letting you interact with the show through fan gears; 2) gamifying your experience via trivia questions; 3) bringing your remote friends to present without cutting the connection with people who are already physically sitting with you. Future features can also include checking out relevant metadata.
What I Don't Do
This app is not to make people feel watching sports at a stadium, which is many VR apps are trying to achieve. Based on my research and interviews, there are tons of benefits for watching sports at home: comfortable home environment, options to multi-tasking, high resolution TVs, well-designed close-up shots, excellent sports commentary, hanging out with family and local friends, etc.
How did I come up with the idea
I had three rounds of ideation.
Round 1: I first researched and thought through several high-level questions, such as: Why it is a problem that the current digital life is confined to small screens? Why do I want to use MR technology to push all of the digital content into the space around me? When do I want my physical world to be extended with secondary screens? etc.
I then brainstormed various high-level categories to help look for use cases. Categories I listed include: home vs. work vs. special location, B2B vs. B2B2C vs. B2C, inelastic demand vs. artificial demand vs. elastic demand, from the physical world to screen world vs. from screen world to the physical world, environment related vs. environment independent, informational vs. interactive, etc..
Round 2: I re-organized the various categories by nesting some of them into others and turning the rest into labels. For example, home vs. work vs. special location are great parent categories. Their secondary categories can be: from the physical world to screen world vs. from screen world to the physical world. In the meanwhile, "B2B v.s B2B2C v.s B2C" and "inelastic demand vs. artificial demand vs. elastic demand" can be labels.
I also listed several objectives that match what I learned from Round 1's high-level thinking. Goals I listed are:
Meet daily/frequent demands
Wide audience
B2B over B2B2C over B2C
Needs to be meaningful: a) good for personal or community wellbeing; b) good for an entity, such as business; c) good for the environment
Little effort for users to adopt
Solve something that either does not have a traditional solution or can be better solved by AR/MR technology
Try to change the supply and demand, instead of just changing the distribution
Used in situations that users are not hand-free or cannot look down. And the situation will last for a while
Wearing glasses does not look weird in that situation
With those objectives in mind, I brainstormed and labeled roughly 20 use cases for each category. The use cases will not be published here due to legal reasons.
Round 3: After the previous two rounds, I gained a clearer idea on what I would like to build. It needs to be used for an indoor activity that either require your eyes to be occupied or your hands. Although I am very interested in doing something B2B, I chose B2B2C instead, since I do not have enough B2B resource/support. I narrowed down to eleven use cases from the previous round and filled them with details.
Among the eleven app ideas, I eventually settled on the social app idea for TV-viewing experience. The app is designed for any types of TV show, not just sports. The business model will be B2B2C: used by regular consumers but paid by TV networks or TV manufacturers.
**Research & Development**
I cannot make this part public due to legal reasons. Please contact me if you'd like to learn how I did the user research, designed each feature, quickly prototyped the ideas using papers, tested among users, 3D modeled the flag assets, coded the app for HoloLens, etc.

Now watch the website intro with my soundtrack!
light upon dark
From the producer Faraz Hass, with credits on such Hollywood Blockbusters as Interstellar, The Dark Knight Rises, X-Men: First Class, 007 Quantum of Solace, District 9 and many more, I introduce you Light Upon Dark (Trailer).
A man troubled by the existence of a storm starts to believe that it maybe more then just a simple discomfort. Could it be real or a product of his imagination?
bloody mary
Be prepared to laugh at the quirky and silly short film called Bloody Mary! The funny, yet slightly scary vibe, took me musically to a Danny Elfman on "Beetle Juice" kind of approach. Entertaining and easy going, this short film by David London (London Square) has travelled the world and films festivals for around a year. For that reason, I have only been allowed to share it with you now. For the first time in my career I was also able to use one of my Hip-Hop Instrumentals as sourced music for a dancing scene. But I still think that the Jewel in the Crown is definitely the Credits Soundtrack. Enjoy.
film score contest
I have recently entered a Film Scoring Contest for Cine.org. They have provided us with a brilliant award winning animation to score. The film was completely muted and although there was no music, there wasn't also any foley. This was the first time where I really pushed my skills to the limit and tried to come up with something truly unique and completely different to what I had previously made. Being out of the comfort zone so much, made me develop my skills even more as well as an opportunity to re-invent my own style which will be certainly useful on future compositions.
This project was a fantastic collaboration between a team of 3 people and myself. What started as a final year project for these 3D animation students ended up launching their careers (and subsequently mine) with the countless awards they have received including a nomination for the BFI (British Film Institute) award.
This soundtrack (Adrift) has a very strong combination between Fantasy and Love accompanied by powerful motif. It is present in my show reel playlist as well as my album.
This film combines a 2D and 3D experience very interestingly. Such approach allowed me to create and use a mixture of various orchestral textures and instruments providing a very "fairy taily" end product.
Being not only the composer but also the sound designer for this project, I would like to grab your attention to take note on both.
This piece (Trionfi) is also present in my show reel playlist as well as my album.
As the brief was quite vague and opened, I have decided to compose a classical piece for this advert. However when they heard it, they asked for a band-ish version with a peaceful and ambience guitar.
Taking into consideration that I haven't touched the guitar for a few years it was very interesting to compose and do a live recording in one of my tunes for the very first time.
Other Work
Making a Film Score (Soundtrack)
Over the years I have been making music, although I often come across people asking me how music is made, the majority of the questions are related to orchestral music. Some thought that film music was composed by many people at the same time (a bit like a band) and some even believed that orchestral music wasn't made anymore in this day and age.
As I found those questions and doubts so interesting, I have decided to make a video showing how a Film Score is made nowadays. I hope you enjoy!
ITV advert project
The reason why I have uploaded this old university project here is because I had never previously shown any of my sound design work and
I believe that this project represents it very well.
after effects
Although brief, I though it would be interesting to share some of a recent hobby of mine - Adobe After Effects.
As I was quite proud of the final product (audio and visuals) I have decided to upload it here.

When I got together with Nick & Brenna a few months before their wedding, they told me that they were getting married outside and that there wasn't really a backup plan if the weather didn't cooperate. So, I crossed my fingers and watched the weather forecast eagerly for 2 weeks leading up to their wedding...and we literally couldn't have gotten a more perfectly sunny-and-60's fall day! Whew!!!
Some of my favorite memories from this day were:
1) Nick constantly rubbing Brenna's arms because he was so worried she was cold (so sweet),
2) the CHEESE cake (not "cheesecake...but cheese cake...you'll see the picture! ;), and
3) the DANCING!!! (the DJ killed it, seriously...it was all I could do not to party with everyone!).
Thanks, Nick & Brenna for inviting me to be a part of this amazing day!

Earlier it was found that lonely people are at higher risks of mortality than those who are not.
Now researchers discovered that social isolations have a serious impact on our genes activity. The changes in immune cell genes expression make a person feel lonely.
Steve Cole, an associate professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine, and a specialist of the UCLA Cousins Center for Psychoneuroimmunology suggests that these gene expression changes were not somehow linked to age, health state or weight of the person. There was also no connection to such social factors as size of person's social environment.
Professor Cole and his colleagues studied the activity of human genes in leukocytes, playing an important role in immune system activation and inflammation, in 14 volunteers who took the test UCLA Loneliness Scale. In two groups of people there were found as much as 209 genes that were expressed differently for each of them. Those people who felt chronically socially isolated had their white blood cells (leukocytes)genes altered. The in-depth analysis showed that such some other gene sets were underexpressed. Lonely people had an reduced antiviral response and antibody production which is most probably a cause undermined health for lonely people.
The researchers say that a number of people a person is acquainted is not so important as how many people a person feels close to. This is what matters for gene expression alterations that causes bad effect on lonely people's health.

We welcomed Professor Sara Seager of MIT to the program to discuss exoplanets and the science behind finding them along with the search for life and Earth-like planets. For more information, visit her website, http://seagerexoplanets.mit.edu. In addition, Professor Seager has a free ebook available for download on her website, "Is There Life Out There." You can download this ebook at http://seagerexoplanets.mit.edu/ProfSeagerEbook.pdf. During the first segment of our 1 hour 27 minute discussion, Professor Seager started with a working definition for exoplanets and the techniques used to find exoplanets. We also talked about planet habitability, the habitable zone, Kepler planets, ground based telescopes, direct imaging, the Gemini Planet Imager, and the potential involvement of amateurs & their telescopes in the search for exoplanets. Many listener questions came in by email. One focused on SETI which led to an interesting discussion with our guest. Professor Seager provided us with comparison statistics for various planets and their size and characteristics, and we talked more about the best exoplanet finding methods. Our guest told us about "ExoplanetSat," a 3U CubeSat capable of high precision pointing with a goal of detecting small transiting exoplanets orbiting bright, sun-like stars. We then discussed CubeSat photography & cameras and more about the need for precision pointing. Professor Seager received several questions about budget and NASA issues, then Doug called in with excellent questions about exoplanets that you do not want to miss.
In the second segment, we talked about Professor Seager's ebook on her website, "Is There Life Out There," plus our guest responded to an email question from Nathan about the "Rare Earth" hypothesis. We then talked about the KST problems and the new mission for the space telescope referred to as K2. John form Ft. Worth called to ask about conceptual and technological advancement & breakthroughs in the field. I asked our guest what she thought the field might look like in ten years plus I asked her why rocky planets were important for finding exoplanets. Charles Pooley called to ask about photometry, LEO, & related issues. As our program was ending, I asked Professor Seager to share with us some of her media experience and thoughts about the quality of science reporting.
Please post comments/questions on TSS blog. I will be happy to pass on your emails to her if you send them to me.

I have been lusting after Have you met Miss Jones's incredible range of modern-to-boot bone china goodies for, like, ever, so when I saw their Angel Wings in a certain issue of Real Living magazine, I had to, had to, HAD TO have them! We'll be moving house in a mere 3 weeks (the mere thought of which has given me a full blown cold!?), and Mini Tonic #1's room is coming along nicely in my head. The timber daybed I bought 6 months back will emerge from storage, and I'm thinking these should look just dandy on the wall (which will have been painted the soon-to-be-found perfect shade of white). PS Mr Tonic's response? "I think devil horns would have been more appropriate". Amen to that.
And if you haven't had a good scout around Have you met Miss Jones's website? YOU MUST! It's positively bursting at the seams with things you never even knew you needed, but do... need. Oh, and PPS She has a fabbo blog too!

I wonder how many of you have lost someone to cancer.
I used to hear the word and think abstractly of the tragedy of it, but real feelings and emotions never surfaced from the deep.
That changed with the loss of my Aunt Kathy, who was one of my best friends.
Now, when I hear the word, my heart is pained in a way it never was before. It aches for the families who have a vacancy at the dinner table; a birthday to honor but no more candles to light; or a Christmas stocking, hanging empty from the mantle.
My heart breaks for the friend who can never again pick up the phone and hear the voice of that one person who can lift her spirits, or just allow her to vent until they laugh or cry or both. Emails float unanswered into cyberspace, and Facebook turns into a memorial wall. Deep conversations become soliloquies and long walks solo events.
Behind every pink (or blue or teal or white…) ribbon is a wounded heart. Every 5k or race for awareness is filled not with participants, but with battle-scarred people, doing what they can to bring about a cure.
The worst adjectives in the English language cannot begin to describe cancer. And words cannot do justice to my hatred for it, nor can they scratch the surface of my sorrow over it.
Even in this world, where absolutes are frowned upon, I think I can safely say that cancer is an evil thing.
And until war is waged upon that most virulent, most capricious killer, there will continue to be too many empty places at our tables and in our hearts.
**For Francie…
and Kathy…
and Richard Wellman…

EASY Spicy Sweet Chili
I love fall foods! I have thrown a few pots of chili together this fall and thought I'd better write down my ingredients and measurements before I completely forget. This is how I made the last pot and it was our favorite. Chili also freezes well, so I like to use half now and freeze the other half for another day.
EASY Spicy Sweet Chili
1 lb lean ground beef
1 large (or 1-2 medium) onion, chopped
1 can Italian stewed tomatoes
1 can diced stewed tomatoes
1 can pinto beans
1 can red kidney beans
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
1 can chopped green chilies
Salt and pepper to taste
½ T granulated garlic
2 T chili powder
Brown ground beef in a large pot, adding chopped onions about half way through. Drain fat. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. Drain and rinse beans and add to the pot. Add all other ingredients to the pot and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This can be modified in any way you want—more or less chilies and spice if you like. This can also be made with more ground beef and only 1 can of beans and served over macaroni (a variation compliments of my mom).
Crock Pot Variation:
Brown meat in a frying pan, adding chopped onions half way through. Drain fat. Drain and rinse beans. Add all ingredients to Crock Pot (I recommend always using Reynolds' Crock Pot Liners). Stir to combine. Cook on low all day or on high 3-4 hours.
Now, you could complicate things by starting with dried beans and such, but that would totally defeat my own purposes. Also, I eyeball pretty much everything and modify things to our tastes (i.e. I love onion and garlic so I'm a little generous there).

Twice Baked New Red Potatoes
This is the recipe that I made for Little Ro's b-day party last weekend. It was kind of an experiment, but they were a huge hit! This is a variation on a Rachel Ray recipe. Incidentally, I love her magazine, Everyday with Rachel Ray. It's chock full of recipes, unlike other cooking magazines. I made changes to the recipe to fit our tastes and to accommodate our low-lactose needs.
Here's what you'll need:
4 lbs new red potatoes (about 1.5 bags)
2 t salt
Pepper to taste
1 t Paprika
1/2 t Garlic Powder
1 1/4 c Sour Cream Substitute (IMO or regular sour cream)
1 1/4 c Grated Swiss Cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash potatoes and pierce each once with a fork. Wearing latex-free gloves (if you like), coat each potato with a thin layer of Crisco. Bake on a jelly roll pan for 40-45 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool at room temp approx. 45 minutes. Cut each in half. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop the insides of the potatoes unto a mixing bowl. Replace all but 10 of the halves back onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle the skins on the baking sheet with 1/2 t salt.
Add remaining salt, pepper, garlic, and 1/2 t paprika to the potatoes in the mixing bowl. Add cheese and sour cream and mash potatoes with a mixer until desired consistency (I like them a little chunky). Scoop potato mixture into a gallon Ziplock bag, cut out one corner, and squeeze potato mixture into the skins on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops of the potatoes with remaining paprika, return to oven. Bake 20 minutes and serve!
This makes a huge batch that will serve a crowd. Perfect football food.

Registering for Courses Outside of ITP
ITP Students are encouraged to explore NYU's wide-array of course offerings, and to register for courses outside of the department. Typically students will register for up to 8.0 units of courses outside of the department over the two years of study, but students are allowed to exceed this recommended guideline - given they have received adviser approval confirming the academic relatedness of the courses to the student's program of study at ITP.
Requesting a Pass/Fail Grade for a Non-ITP Course
Effective in Fall 2017, ITP students should fill out a Pass/Fail Request Form (click here, or link below) at the start of the term in which the student is taking the non-ITP course. The signed form must be submitted to Dante via email (email@example.com) within the first five weeks of the term during fall and spring terms, and within the first two weeks during the summer term.
How the Pass/Fail Option Works
If a student receives a grade of A, B, C, or D in the non-ITP course, that grade will be converted to a P - Pass grade. If a student receives an F, the grade will remain as an F - Fail grade. The course instructor does not need to be notified that a pass/fail option form was submitted, nor do they need to do anything with the form. The form is completed jointly by the student and Dante and submitted to Tisch Student Affairs for processing.

The Energy Research Partnership has released a new report on the Role of Hydrogen in the UK Energy System. This report concludes that the biggest challenges for widespread use are where large volumes of hydrogen will come from and how it could be decarbonised. Concerns are raised around the associated costs and deliverability of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) infrastructure that will be essential to handle the large volumes of CO2 from the steam methane reforming plant. Upstream emissions from the extraction of natural gas are significant and new technologies will be needed to produce zero-carbon hydrogen, if it is to play a significant role in the long-term. Widespread use of hydrogen requires deliberate intervention, which includes a strategic, long-term plan to make hydrogen zero-carbon and to address challenges, including its impact on energy security.
Hydrogen is already entering the energy system and appears to be a convincing pathway to decarbonise heat and transport. Its widespread use requires deliberate intervention, which includes a strategic, long-term plan to make hydrogen zero-carbon and to address challenges, including its impact on energy security. The biggest challenges are where large volumes of hydrogen will come from and how to decarbonise it. The report highlights concerns around the associated costs and deliverability of the necessary steam methane reforming plant and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) infrastructure needed to handle the large volumes of CO2.
Natural gas will be used to produce a majority of the hydrogen, as it is cheaper than from electricity, but residual emissions from CCS and hydrocarbon extraction are significant and will need to be addressed. Surplus electricity from wind will produce only a small fraction of the hydrogen needed for heat: meeting this demand with electricity alone would require about 70 GW of additional nuclear capacity – seven times current capacity. Replacing natural gas with hydrogen for heating will increase gas consumption and produce more CO2. Some of the increase could be offset by measures to reduce energy demand for heat. Blending into the gas supply provides little carbon reduction, even at high blends, and would be expensive, so switching has to be done by area and straight to 100% hydrogen. Imports of natural gas mean most of the upstream emissions from extraction are likely to be outside the UK. This may be an issue for meeting global climate targets set out in the Paris Agreement. Zero-carbon hydrogen could be imported from sunny regions, such as North Africa, using very-high temperature solar thermal. But these are unlikely to be available to meet early bulk demand.
Hydrogen is already playing a valuable, diffuse role in the energy system and helping to manage the electricity grid, fuel vehicle fleets and industry. These niche applications can develop without hydrogen from natural gas, but will benefit from removing regulatory and market barriers to help them become viable. This report feeds into ERP's new project on the Transition to Low-carbon Heat, along with a new report on Heating Buildings. The Low-carbon Heat project is looking at options for low-carbon heat, with the aim of providing insight into the governance and timeframe aspects of the trajectory to 2050 for decarbonising domestic and commercial heat. Building on techno-economic analysis of specific heating technologies it will investigate how top-down and bottom-up aspects join up.

Race morning I felt good, got up early to eat my normal eggs and toast before hand and drove off to Boulder to get in a warmup.
After about 4 miles of jogging around it was time to line up where I ran into JV and followed him to the front of the corral to the A wave. Yes I did steal some of the photos below, it is just retarded that they want $20 a photo. If they had any common sense they would sell them for $1-2 bucks a piece for a download. They would make so much more $, hell I would have bought all of them they had of me (about 12 of them). Take that times 40,000 plus people and that is some serious coin.
Still enjoying the morning.
Photo stolen
I did not wear my HR monitor, my plan was just to run as evenly as possible at a hard effort with the goal of breaking 40 mins which meant trying to keep my pace under 6:28 per mile. I honestly did not think I would be able to do this. I was looking at my watch to keep up my pace throughout the race.
In the pain cave now!
Photo stolen
Photo stolen
As I hit the final hill into the stadium I looked down at my watch to be totally shocked at the total time! Up to this point I was only watching my pace and had not looked at my total time yet. I had over 3:00 to cover the last 0.2 or so miles to be under 40 mins! YES!!! Final time 38:42:62, a new PR in the 10K for me! Here are how the splits broke down, pretty damn even effort if I must say so myself. You can see the hill from mile 3 to 4 in the mile 4 pace though. My Strava data is over here which measured the course long, that is most likely due to me going around people and not cutting the corners correctly.
This effort earned me one of these babies which I will wear proudly.
So a few days later yes I am still sore from this effort, especially in the hamstrings. The rest of the week will just be jogging around on smooth surfaces at an easy pace to let the soreness work itself out and let the ankle heal a little more. Next up is Dirty Thirty 12 miler 5 days after the Bolder Boulder on June 1st. I did drop down from the 50k due to my ankle not being very stable on rocky trails yet but do plan on racing the 12 miler. I did not want to risk my whole summer by doing the 50K and setting back the ankle. Should be an interesting month with quite a few races.

How do you get paid?
We pay COD with wire transfer or check as soon as we receive and test the material.
What type of scrap do we purchase?
We purchase all kinds of industrial plastic scrap. Examples include broken crates, pallets, pipe, buckets, scrap parts, bottle preforms, bins, bailed film, sheet cut-offs, trim scrap and many other types of plastics.
What plastic has the highest value?
Typically engineering-grade materials like Polycarbonate, ABS, or Nylon have more value than commodity-grade plastics such as Polyethylene and Polypropylene. Color also can affect the value of the plastics. It is recommended for light colors and dark colors to be separated.
How much scrap plastic do you need to accumulate before you are able to sell it?
We prefer to purchase by truckload quantities which could be a single item or mixed segregated items to make a full truckload. Depending on the type of scrap plastic, a truckload may range from 10,000 lbs. to 40,000 lbs.
Can the Ken United Group arrange to pick up at your facility?
Absolutely! We have great relationships with shipping companies that allow us to get deep discounted rates. We will shop for the best freight rate and determine your quote based on scrap plastic price without the freight cost.
