Iranian and Singaporean officials discussed launching a joint bank, in an attempt to ease investments and commercial relations, said head of Iran's Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mining and Agriculture, Mohsen Jalalpour, following his visit to Asian country this week.
"We also discussed 24 other fields of cooperation during the visit, including technology, tourism, shipping, renewable energy and new auditing practices," ILNA quoted him as saying on Friday.
The proposed bank would work according to Singapore's banking rules, he added.
Javad Ansari, Iran's ambassador to Singapore, announced the CEO of DBS Bank (Development Bank of Singapore), Peter Seah Lim Huat, will travel to Tehran to discuss banking ties. DBS Bank is the largest bank in South East Asia by assets and among the largest in Asia.
Tharman Shanmugaratnam, head of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, is planning to invite the central bank chief, Valiolah Seif, to the country in discuss expansion of relations, Ansari said.
The MAS reversed its prohibition on transactions with the Iranian government and financial Institutions in late January soon after the nuclear deal between Iran and the six world powers came into effect.
Before the US tightened the sanctions in 2012, Singapore's bilateral trade with Iran was in the region of $4.9 billion in 2011, data from the its ministry of trade and industry shows.
After the sanctions were imposed, Singapore's bilateral trade with Iran fell to $1.9 billion in 2012. Last year, trade with Iran amounted to a paltry $126.8 million.

I have permission to share some of the "high speed chase" story with you. There are so many "twists and turns" with this story so I will try to keep it short. I may not have all the details correct and some of it might not all make sense just yet.
Before you read any further, I want to tell you that I posted this on the Eastern U.P. message board yesterday and my last sentence upset someone. I said "They should stick to a race track". It wasn't my intention to offend any one who use to race or does race, but I still believe in free speech and being allowed to express my opinion. As I stated on the board (after a comment made by a reader) I will probably be the most PC person you will ever meet and I don't go out of my way to offend anyone. I look at my comment in this light; my daughter use to have a harness racing license. I use to own a quarter horse that was raced. If I saw a horse and rider or a horse and driver in a sulky going lickety split down the highway, I would say that THEY should stick to a race track too! I wouldn't be offended by it. So with that said, here's the beginning of the story…hopefully we'll have the ending of it some time soon!
So far I know that the sled they were pursuing was clocked at 120 mph….going right down M-123. The roads were icy so the patrol cars couldn't safely travel much over 70 mph. The patrol sleds were "bringing up the rear". At several times it appeared as if they had the driver of the sled "boxed in", but he managed to squeeze through. At one point, one of the Law Enforcement personnel had to jump out of the way to avoid being run over.
This all started out as what was going to be a simple stop to tell this man to NOT ride on M-123 but to get back on the snowmobile trail. It wasn't even a matter of issuing a ticket…not till this all happened. Many people could have been seriously injured or killed that night. This is still all under investigation. Hopefully there will be an update for us with a "happy" ending. Someone like this shouldn't be allowed on a trail. They should stick to a race track.

More than 100 classic trials machines will compete in a stage of the Northern British Bike Pre-65 Trials Championship (NBBC) at the Llangollen International Motorcycle Festival on Sunday, 2 August.
All of the bikes are at least 50 years old and will be ridden on the show site from 11am to 2pm as part of a championship round hosted by Llangollen and District Motorcycle Club. It will include more than 20 miles of off-road sections and minor roads in the area.
Organised by the Poachers Pre-65 Trials Club, the seven-round trial series is a tough test of rider skill and machine reliability, with classes for expert and clubman riders.
The Sunday trials event will follow the Saturday opening of the festival by seven-times TT winner Mick Grant (pictured riding in a pre-65 trial) and Carl "Foggy" Fogarty MBE, the most successful World Superbike (WSB) racer of all time.
LlanBikeFest 15 organiser Harry Edwards said: "The championship is one of the highlights of the trials year, so there will be some fantastic bikes taking part, with riders from all over the country. The weekend will really offer something for everyone who is into bikes."
On-site attractions will include displays, stunts, demonstrations, trade and club stands, plus beer, bands and evening entertainment. There will also be ride-outs from the site to explore some of the area's most beautiful roads and scenery.

We went through the museum under the arch a couple weeks ago. Kids liked it okay but they're a bit young to truly enjoy it. I could have stayed much longer.

Testing Burger King's crispy taco: How it stacks up against Jack in the Box and Taco Bell
Last week foodies were all aflutter over news that Arby's was testing a preposterous-looking "meat vegetable" carrot (dubbed the marrot) made from sous-vide turkey breast. It was meant to poke fun at plant-based burgers: Instead of meat made from veggies, Arby's was making headway into veggies made from meat.
The fast-food realm is no stranger to crazy concoctions, but this one took the (carrot) cake. Meatless alternatives at the fast-food level are a welcome thing. Meat carrots are not.
Burger King, meanwhile, has rolled out something we can all get behind: tacos. Available nationwide, BK's Crispy Taco seems aimed directly at fans of the infamous, but wildly popular Jack in the Box taco. (Recall the 2017 Wall Street Journal story with the headline "Americans Eat 554 Million Jack in the Box Tacos a Year, and No One Knows Why.")
Based on a recent tasting, Jack in the Box needn't lose even a moment of sleep over BK's problematic venture into Tacolandia. In fact, JITB is poised to reassert its drive-through taco supremacy by test-marketing mini versions of its tacos. Currently available in Austin, Dallas and Fresco, Calif., the teeny tacos are offered as five for $1, or 25 in a $5 taco box that comes with three dipping sauces. Bring it.
RECIPE: How to make a casserole with Jack in the Box tacos, on HoustonChronicle.com
We compared the new BK tacos to Jack's tacos and to the classic crunchers from Taco Bell, another fast-food taco staple. Read it and weep.
Construction: A mound of seasoned beef deep-fried in a white corn tortilla shell with shredded lettuce and cheese and "savory taco sauce."
Taste: The beef was oddly seasoned and left an oily, off-putting taste in the mouth. The flavorless pale corn tortilla was super greasy and the lettuce haphazardly chopped. The company's photos of the taco look absolutely nothing like what we were served. Hugely disappointing.
Great with: BK's onion rings
Bonus points: None. Demerits for not having packets of hot sauce to augment what the kitchen puts in the taco.
Price/calories: $1/170
Grade: F
Construction: Spicy meat filling inside deep-fried corn tortilla filled with spicy sauce, triangle of American cheese and shredded lettuce.
Taste: Fans of these tacos have a manic devotion to the (mostly) crispy fried packets that are a road food staple and a favorite post-bar pigging-out option. The tortilla/meat/cheese/lettuce merger is one of perfect balance and comforting textures.
Great with: Seasoned curly fries
Bonus points: If you order inside the restaurant, the tacos come out hot and fresh on a tray instead of suffocating in the paper envelope of drive-though. It's a revelation.
Price/calories: $1.19/344 (two tacos)
Grade: A+ (dine-in), B+ (take away)
Construction: Savory, seasoned taco beef in crisp corn tortilla shell with shredded cheese and lettuce.
Taste: The bedrock of this high temple of econo-Mex that isn't really Mexican at all. But these are the crunchy tacos we grew up with and will always have a place in our fast-food heart. Cannot be improved. Not even Crunchy Taco Supreme.
Great with: New Nacho Fries
Bonus points: Unlimited packets of taco sauces in Mild, Hot and Fire. Do not bother with the unappetizing Diablo.
Price/calories: $1.29/170
Grade: A

There is a 1% rule of thumb in social media. According to Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba who coined the phrase "1% rule," out of every one hundred users on let's say Facebook, 1 person will create all the content and posts and the other 99 will read it, react to it, but not become involved in any significant way. That is a completely staggering statistic, but one that provides a huge opportunity for that one person out of 100.
And so it is the same in business. Out of every 100 people, only 1 is proactive in reaching out in some way every day, while the other 99, react, wait for an opportunity to present itself out of coincidence or luck, or both. However, it also presents a huge opportunity for that one out of 100 that is proactive.
There is another adage in business involving one percent: "Improve your business by one percent everyday." Now there is no possible way to determine what one percent of your business ACTUALLY is, but the theory is compelling and can improve your capacity to create business dramatically.
If you are a singer, I assume you practice everyday you are not working. A lighting technician, will hopefully be spending time everyday in pursuit of researching new lighting techniques and equipment. A dancer goes to class. But, what are you doing everyday to bring in more business?
Just as you hone your craft everyday (at least by 1%,) you need to hone your business chops everyday… by 1%. This generally means: Do at least one thing, one call, one email, spend time working on goals (I'll cover that in depth in a latter post,) even just developing a general plan of attacking new work. The object though is undertaking AT LEAST one thing.
Personally, I carve two hours out of my day, to work on new business and business opportunities that are diversifications of my core craft which is running an agency. I conquered the 1% rule some time ago and now split my time 70% core business, 30% new business. I've found that most of the 30% I execute off business hours, but the beauty of technology is that now more than ever it is possible to do. It extends the day and can be used whenever the inspiration strikes.
Consider this: If you were to commit to improving your business by only 1% per day, after one year you would have improved your business 365%!! Even if you take holidays, some weekends and a vacation off, you are somewhere in the range of a 300% improvement!!
Where to start? Today, sit down and write a list of everyone you can think of that you know in the business. Put their emails next to their names if you have them. Go WAY past the people you know well. Aquaintances are fine, writing their names down will help you think of other people you do know well and some you've forgotten about. Plus, there will be situations that come up down the road that may shed them in a new light. Create this master list and you will find a myriad of uses for it. Build it and update it monthly. If you do this on your computer, make sure you have a written copy also, as it quickly becomes an irreplaceable document.
Once you've built this phone book, I challenge you to contact someone from it everyday. Phone, email, Facebook. Whatever. Take one step at a time and you will find soon enough, that you will contact more than one each day. It becomes a habit and it gives you great confidence in yourself and your ability to reach out.
Try it. No, do it!! As Yoda said, "There is no try, there is only do or do not!"

Yes, that is a House Of Pain lyric in the title but I have been out of the Cannonball Read for over a year, and if it makes sense to reference House of Pain in any review, it might be Kushiel's Dart with its protagonist.
Just when I had decided that a full back tattoo really wouldn't make sense for me given my fashion choices and my preference to be able to cover up tattoos, I read Kushiel's Dart, and am now back to thinking, "but it would look so cool." While I spent a good part of last year working my way through romance series, using Malin's Top 100 List as a starting point, I didn't even realize this was a favorite of hers until after I had started reading it based on a comment over on The Toast.
After a diet of light reading, Kushiel's Dart is a bit of a slow starter, as Carey uses her initial pages for world building. As a result, while I was interested in the story, it didn't truly hit the point of "I can't wait to see what happens next" until a bit before the halfway point, though all the build up does pay off. Phedre, the narrator, is a courtesan that was initially raised in the Night Court but due to a flaw, a red mark in her eye commonly known as Kushiel's Dart in her world, she doesn't enter service in the court, and is sold to a private patron (in our terms, she is an indentured servant rather than slave). Her patron, Delauney expands her education to include politics, history and languages, or all the skills that might come in handy as her his eyes and ears, or spy. Since Phedre writes of these events after they have occurred, the foreshadowing does get a bit heavy handed sometimes. Like Phedre, I wonder at the decisions of her patron Delauney as he kept information from her and his other pupil though it seemed like half the realm knew anyway, and could have possibly made them even more effective in recognizing certain plots (basically, his secret doesn't seem like that big of a deal once it is finally revealed, and feels rather obvious) . Especially in the first third, I would occasionally get annoyed with Phedre but I think it was in the same way that I get annoyed with teen characters in other novels when their focus seems skewed – so in other words, I got irritated with Phedre for acting like a normal teenager but appreciate that Carey avoided having a perfect main character, and kept her flawed – at least for the first part of the novel.
The story involves quite a bit of world building, and uses our own history as a starting point, diverging when Jesus is on the cross, and an angel, Elua, is born of his blood. Instead of Christianity becoming a powerful force, Elua gains other angels as followers, and they mingle with humans, leaving behind a lineage of people descended from immortals in the country where Kushiel's Dart takes place. Kushiel was one of Elua's angel followers, and Phedre's red dots in her eyes mark her as a true anguisette, or masochist, someone who finds true pleasure in receiving pain. While the Night Court has its own house for those types of desires, Phedre is the first of her kind in generations and unique in how true her desire for this mix of pleasure and pain are. As a result, she quickly becomes famed, and has access to corners Delauney could only dream of entering.
The actual political intrigue is familiar from history and other sweeping fantasy novels – a throne with an aging monarch, a beloved but early deceased heir, and an untested heir that may or may not be able to unite the nation, leading to lots of scheming, plots and potential mutinies as well as treaties and threats involving the surrounding countries and territories. While Phedre's sexuality plays a large role, it also isn't any more graphic than many other fantasy series, and focuses more on the sensuality involved rather than the physical acts.
While the novel is the first of a trilogy, I also appreciated that it mostly told its own self-contained story, and didn't just feel like set up for further novels (though I do expect the next novel could have a quicker beginning, given that it won't have to set up the background as much). In the same way that history doesn't stop after major events, the novel's ending points towards future developments, but Kushiel's Dart doesn't have to be seen as yet another huge commitment to a trilogy, especially given this novel's length on its own. I certainly intend to read the sequel, but if I hadn't wanted to, this ending certainly would have been satisfying for a stand alone novel, and wouldn't have made me feel like I was leaving things unfinished if I had decided not to continue on. (I think The Maze Runner was one of the worst culprits of this – I had already decided I didn't like the novel, wasn't interested in the series, and then the last page just made me want to know more – fortunately we have the internet now for plot summaries!)

IPL Treatments
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What can be treated with intense pulsed light systems – IPL?
Our trained therapists offer a range of cost effective and professional treatments including:
- Permanent hair reduction
- The elimination of sun spots, freckles and other skin discoloration
- Removal of vascular lesions
- Skin rejuvenation
- Acne reduction
Q: Who is suitable for intense pulsed light treatments – IPL?
- Most people can have IPL treatment
- Your trained therapist should be able to determine your suitability
- People who have been tanning or have dark skin may be at higher risk
Q: Does IPL treatment hurt?
- No skin desensitization is required
- You may feel a slight level of discomfort with each application
- This will reduce as the area being treated responds to the therapy
Q: Are there any side effects?
- Short term effects are possible
- Redness can occur in the area being treated
- This will disappear soon after the treatment
Q: What about down time after the treatment?
- Generally you can return to normal activities straight after
- A minimum of 2 weeks is required before exposure to sunlight
Q: Number of treatments and treatment frequency for each application:
- Permanent hair reduction: 8 – 12 treatments, spaced 2 – 8 weeks apart
- Sun spot reduction: 4 – 8 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart
- Vascular lesions: 4 – 8 treatments, spaced 2 weeks apart
- Skin rejuvenation: 4 – 8 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart
- Acne treatments: may be ongoing weekly or fortnightly
How long do IPL treatments take?
Your Intense Pulsed Light treatment takes around the same amount of time as a wax treatment for the same area.
Is a test patch required?
A test patch is a legal requirement, which enables the therapist to obtain the correct setting for more efficient treatment. The test patch also identifies any adverse reactions, which are then contained to a small area.
Why do I have to have many IPL treatments for hair reduction?
IPL targets the hair compound called melanin, this give hair the colour (pigmentation). Melanin is most prevalent in hair during the early-anagen phase of hair growth, and hairs in this stage of growth are the ones most responsive to Intense Pulsed Light. Ongoing treatments are needed to catch each hair as it passes through this early-anagen stage of development, that may result due to hormonal fluctuations though out your life-time.
Will I have to come back for repeat skin rejuvenation treatments?
In relation to pigmentation – If you have skin that is easily sun-damaged (freckled) and pre-caution is not taken to protect your skin, by using sunscreen daily, in addition to a Vitamin c Serum to inhibit melanin from developing, it is likely you will need "top-up" treatments.
In relation to vascular lesions – It will depend what the trigger was. In some cases, you may only require a few treatments and no follow up, on the other hand, skin conditions such as Rosacea, will need on-going maintenance and home care for the best possible results.
What areas of the body can be treated?
Generally any part of the body can be treated. Exceptions include areas in close proximity to the eyes, the inner ear and nose.
The most popular areas for hair removal are the underarms, bikini, upper lip, chin, face, legs, back & chest.
The most popular areas for skin treatments are the face, arms, hands, décolletage and legs.

The Doklam standoff between India and China has reached a point where speculation has already begun of armed conflict. However, according to a policy expert, India is already winning this one, even though not a single bullet has been fired from either side!
Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, senior fellow at the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies in New Delhi, as said in a column written for the Economic Times that it is actually China that is "caught in a bind" over the entire matter, despite the high-pitched rhetoric its officials and news outlets have been spewing.
The author calls it one of the "best managed crises by India's Ministry of External Affairs," because India has taken no step to escalate the situation, despite persistent claims to the contrary. Let's take a look at where things stand, then.
China's repeated 'warnings'
China has heaped its allegations on what India has done:
* A "senior colonel" in the Chinese army has implied that India has invaded Chinese territory, and that China will not tolerate any compromise on the issue. It also refused any negotiation on the issue.
* Wu Qian, a spokesperson of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), referenced the India-China war of 1962, and said India should take lessons from the conflict. The implied statement here was that India should back down before it is defeated in conflict again.
* That was hardly the first time the war and India's defeat was discussed in the context of the Doklam conflict, with Chinese news outlets getting heavily into the act. They also called for China to teach India a "bitter lesson."
* Chinese experts have warned time and again of "imminent" war if India does not withdraw its troops from Doklam. The words "military action" and "all out confrontation" have also been thrown around. The Chinese armed forced have also urged India not to "harbour illusions."
* With no signs of India backing down, China resorted to warning of action in Jammu and Kashmir on behalf of Pakistan. Not once, but twice!
* Meanwhile, Chinese news organisations warned of dire action if India tried to counter this threat by bringing in the topic of the Dalai Lama. This was the same Dalai Lama who would go on to call for peace between the two countries.
* Then, when certain sections of Indian polity called for boycotting Chinese goods, Chinese media said it would harm India more than China.
* About a week ago, Chinese armed forces even warned of military action against India within two weeks. They then claimed that India had tresspassed into Chinese territory, even as Bhutan kept on claiming that Doklam belonged to it.
* On Wednesday, China's most-circulated daily newspaper warned that the "countdown to a clash" between India and China had begun.
India's handling of the matter
India, despite the many instigations from China, has continued to try and diffuse tensions between both sides. It has not only asked for dialogues, but also not given in to Chinese provocations for high-pitched rhetoric.
It is this approach that seems to have China rattled. As Iyer-Mitra writes, "[The] Chinese feel that they, rather than India, are caught in a bind," because they are "unable to resort to the use of force for fear of destroying the myth of nuclear deterrence."
He adds that China will be in for some great losses if it now resorts to strategically or diplomatically escalate the situation. Therefore, "short of an extremely serious miscalculation by the Chinese leadership, the situation has plateaued, he says, explaining: "The only spikes will be verbal, and that too from the Chinese side."
Iyer-Mitra thus draws the conclusion: "Escalation is not an option for China. But de-escalation also seems impossible, till public attention is shifted elsewhere."
This is where India's win lies, because it has successfully halted China's "salami tactics" — defined as "a divide-and-conquer process of threats and alliances used to overcome opposition."

So far, there are no plans to postpone the enrolment deadline. However, it is quite generous compared to other universities. The general deadline for the winter semester 2020/21 is 15.11.2020. However, please note the (acceptance) deadlines that are stated in the notices of admission in subjects with restricted admission. It has not yet been decided whether there will be another extension of the enrolment deadline for the winter semester. We will have to wait and see how things develop.

Quality bantams Review by Gerardo
I order 5 silver duck wing bantams and i am happy to say they all are alive and well. 3 turned out to be males and all three have beautiful plumage and colors. They also seem to get along well with no aggression issues. Definitely recommend these birds along with any other breed. (Posted on 11/1/2019)

Silver duckwing bantams Review by Ash ♡
We had a silver duckwing old english bantam that was the sweetest and friendliest of all our chickens. She disappeared one day and we had to get another. I ordered 5 and they were healthy chicks now grown and as friendly and sweet as our little Ash. (Posted on 10/31/2019)
Sad loss of our favorite chicken Review by Banty
We lost our little "Banty" to a hawk yesterday. Our family was and is devastated, as he was by far our favorite. Smallest defender of his 13 large hens, and always letting us pick him up (with an occasional peck to remind us of his manhood). We will definitely be getting another of these and hope to have just as good a result but for a longer life this time. RIP Banty. (Posted on 7/10/2017)

We can't wait to watch her grow into a beautiful hen! Thank you for all of our happy and healthy bantam chicks! (Posted on 4/5/2017)
Thank You Review by Joseph January 2016
I want to thank you for my bantam old english chickens. I have never had chicks that love me so much. I treat them as though they are my children. They like to be held and kissed. I really love them. Thanks again. If I need more I will order from you folks again. (Posted on 1/7/2016)
Cackle Hatchery Review by John New York July 2010
I recently received my order of Old English Game Bantams. The order consisted of four varieties totaling 36 chicks. They all arrived in excellent condition, perfectly strong and healthy. In a short time they were busy eating, drinking and scampering around. I am really pleased with them! A very satisfied customer. (Posted on 11/18/2015)

Run the World?
Not quite yet, but these women are rocking their corner of it
Pictured above (left to right)
TOP: Beverly Kim, Nina Compton, Christine Cikowski
BOTTOM: Rita Bernhardt, Rohini Dey
Being a chef is hard. Being a female chef is even harder, which makes the success of women restaurateurs in food meccas like Chicago and New Orleans particularly thrilling. These rising stars share challenges, triumphs and why now may be the best time for women to follow their culinary passion.
Imagine if "acting like a girl" was not pejorative, but the preferred way to build a superior kitchen culture, and women-owned restaurants and award-winning female chefs were mainstream? Signs of progress are evidenced by Chicago's Beverly Kim (Parachute), Rohini Dey (Vermilion) and Christine Cikowski (Honey Butter Fried Chicken) as well as New Orleans' Nina Compton (Compere Lapin) and Rita Bernhardt (Domenica). All represent the slow, yet steady rise of female hospitality leadership.
As a woman who ground it out for years on her own, Kim reveals that going back to work six weeks after her son was born was "one of the hardest things I've ever done." Long, grueling hours on the job and an ever-changing lineup of babysitters at home made an indelible impression, and when she ultimately opened her own, now Michelin-starred, restaurant, she was determined to make a difference. Six months in, she offered a generous health insurance stipend to employees, and has established a four-day work week.
Bernhardt recalls when women had to make a choice. "If you were a chef, that was your whole life, but now a work-life balance is possible."
The first chef hired by BRG's CEO Shannon White after she took over for John Besh, Bernhardt realized she was under scrutiny, but wanted to put her imprint on Domenica. She stayed true to her own values by commanding respect without being a "typical yelling chef."
"That isn't who I am," Bernhardt stresses, "and I prefer discussing improvements needed privately with an employee."
Cutting back to 10-hour days whenever possible has made an impact: "People are much happier and more productive, and looking out for each other," she adds.
At Honey Butter Chicken, the defining ethos is "professionalizing" the restaurant industry.
"We don't want our employees coming into work sick because otherwise they can't pay the electric bill," says Cikowski. That happens frequently enough to make sick pay essential, along with health insurance, parental leave and personal time off.
"We offer this because it's the right thing to do, but it's actually made us financially successful," she reveals. "There's a huge return on investment, especially for women, and especially right now."
Women represent 19 percent of chefs, and seven percent of head chefs

Paying the price
Professionalism may also mean eliminating tipping, an unpopular industry notion, but one Dey contends is vital. "The price we pay is unacceptable, with women exploited by customers, managers and other employees in order to get the best tips," she says.
Primed for change
There's a palpable sense of excitement, and no one's contributed more than Nina Compton, the first black woman to win the James Beard award for Best Chef. At her two flawlessly executed concepts in New Orleans, Compton focuses on creating "a positive, safe environment, where team members are treated with love and respect."
Her compelling promise: "Women are really breaking through the surface. Things will shift very soon and hopefully be an equal playing field. We all have to support each other; that's where it all begins."

If you ask the average person on the street what he or she thinks of when he or she hears the word "property," chances are that person will list a number of items that he or she owns, ranging from jewelry to real estate. Ask what he or she thinks when you mention "intellectual property," and the odds are pretty good that you will be met with a blank stare. After all, our common perception of "property" is something that we can physically possess.
The law, however, has an entirely different concept of property. To the law, property is commonly considered a "bundle of rights." This "bundle" is made up of such rights as the right to use something, the right to possess that thing, the right to dispose of that thing, and the right to prevent other people from interfering with your rights respecting that thing.
For example, the owner of a house has the right to use the house, the right to possess the house, the right to dispose of the house (that is to sell it, not burn it—that's a felony known as arson, and possibly insurance fraud), and the right to exclude others from interfering with his or her use, possession, or disposition of the house. The same holds true for our other common notions of property, such as cars, jewelry, boats, and tennis rackets.
In addition to these tangible forms of property, there are "intangibles"—those things that we cannot touch, taste, smell, hear or otherwise sense—that carry with them the exact same bundle of rights. Although we cannot physically perceive intangibles, we can still exercise dominion over them. We can still possess it, use it, dispose of it, and exclude others from interfering with it—even though the "it" cannot be felt, tasted, smelled, heard or otherwise physically perceived.
Some intangibles such as stocks, bonds, and notes are evidenced by documents. So, while your Google stock certificate may be nice to show your friends and relatives when you want to impress them, if it were to be mistakenly used to light your barbecue, you would still own shares in Google. You could still use those shares--as security for a loan, for example. You could still sell the shares. You just wouldn't be able to impress your friends and relatives as easily.
Stocks, bonds, and notes, although forms of intangible property, are not "intellectual" property (especially not that GM and Enron stock you bought a few years ago). Rather, intellectual property is a type of intangible property that is the product of the mind, talents, and intellect of creative people. Intellectual property is divided into four classifications: a) Trademark, b) Copyright, c) Patent, and d) Trade Secret.
You would be hard pressed to find any commercial enterprise that does not possess some form of intellectual property. For many companies, their intellectual property is among their most valuable and most important assets. Network marketing companies are no exception.
Trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets are the most common types of intellectual property possessed by network marketing companies. Although some network marketing companies have proprietary products that are the subject of patents, they are in the distinct minority. In this rest of this article, the four types of intellectual property will be briefly described. In future articles at this site, the protection of each type of intellectual will be discussed in more detail.
Generally speaking, a "trademark" is any unique word, name, symbol or device or any combination thereof used by a manufacturer or merchant to identify and distinguish its goods from those manufactured or marketed by another. A trademark, if registered, is usually accompanied by the "®" symbol while those that are not registered are designated by the "™" symbol. You may have also heard the term "service mark". A service mark is the same thing as a trademark, except that a service mark is used to identify and distinguish a service. (MCDONALDS® is a well-known service mark for a particular restaurant service.)
The principle functions of a trademark are to identify and distinguish the source of goods or services and to serve as a merchandising short-cut that induces a purchaser to select what he or she wants. Trademarks do not protect the proprietary nature of products or services, and do not protect inventions, discoveries, ideas, creations or processes. Instead, trademarks protect how products and services are marketed, promoted, sold and regarded by the public.
Although a trademark is typically a word or a short phrase, symbols (Nike's so-called "swoosh"), numbers (7-ELEVEN®), slogans (General Electric's WE BRING GOOD THINGS TO LIFE®), the appearance of a product container or the product itself (the classic shape of a Coca-Cola® bottle), and even fragrances can serve as trademarks.
Perhaps the most commonly confused types of intellectual property are trademarks and copyright. While a trademark is a word, name, symbol, or device that is used to indicate the source of goods and services and to distinguish them from the goods and services of others, copyright is a form of protection provided to the authors of original works of authorship. Such works of authorship include literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. Copyright protects these works, whether they are published or not.
As the word suggests, copyright generally gives the owner of the work the exclusive right to reproduce it (the right to copy it), to prepare derivative works, to distribute copies or recordings of the work, and to perform or display the work publicly. The copyright protects the form of expression but not the subject matter of the expression. For example, a written description of a widget could be copyrighted, but this would only prevent others from copying the description of the widget. The copyright would not prevent others from writing a description of their own or from making and using the widget.
While a trademark designates the source of product, and copyright protects the written description of that product, a patent protects the rights of the inventor of the product. A patent for an invention is the grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the patent office in the country in which protection is sought (in the U.S., the United States Patent and Trademark Office). The right conferred by the issuance of a patent to the inventor is the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention or importing the invention. Thus, a patent does not grant to the inventor the right to make, use, offer for sale, sell or import, but the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing the invention.
While registration is not necessary for the protection of a trademark, a copyright, or a trade secret (trade secrets by their very nature cannot be registered), registration is absolutely necessary for there to be patent protection. The term of a patent registration is for a fixed period of time and, upon the expiration of that time, others are free to make, use, offer for sale or import the invention. In the U.S., the term is usually 20 years from the date of the application for registration.
A trade secret is defined as a "formula, process, device, or item of information used by a business that has economic value because it is not generally known or easily discoverable by observation or examination and for which reasonable efforts to maintain secrecy have been made." As a result, the proprietor of a useful trade secret has an advantage over his or her competition.
Some trade secrets may be suitable candidates for patent protection. It is common, however, for the proprietors of such information to choose not to seek patent protection because doing so would result in disclosure of the formula, process, device or information, and the proprietor of that information would lose the exclusive right to it upon expiration of the patent.
Now that we have covered the covered the basics of intellectual property, check this site for future articles discussing each type of intellectual property in a little more detail. Also, these future articles will discuss how the owner of an item of intellectual property can protect these important and invaluable assets.

Canadian Cancer Society celebrates final adoption today of crucial public health legislation that will ban flavoured tobacco including menthol

Canadian Cancer Society celebrates final adoption today of crucial public health legislation that will ban flavoured tobacco including menthol
The Canadian Cancer Society celebrates the final adoption today by the Nova Scotia Legislative Assembly of provincial legislation to ban flavoured tobacco, including menthol. The legislation received third reading with all-party support and will come into force on May 31, 2015.
"Once again, Nova Scotia has demonstrated tremendous national leadership in tobacco control," said Barbara Stead-Coyle, Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Cancer Society - Nova Scotia Division. "This builds on past leadership by the province. Nova Scotia was the first province in Canada to ban the sale of tobacco in vending machines and to require smoke-free patios."
"We look forward to marking the landmark date of May 31st, when flavoured tobacco will be removed from the shelves," said Stead-Coyle. "We praise Minister of Health and Wellness Leo Glavine for his leadership, and we thank all parties for their support of this crucial public health legislation."
"Make no mistake about it. Menthol is a kiddie flavour," said Stead-Coyle. The 2012-2013 Flavours Report, based on the Youth Smoking Survey, confirms that 34% of high school student smokers in Nova Scotia smoke menthol. This equates to 1,800 students.
"Menthol is harmful because it masks the harshness of tobacco smoke, enables deeper inhalation and increases nicotine absorption," said Stead-Coyle. "Research shows that youth menthol smokers smoke more cigarettes per day, when compared to traditional cigarette smokers, and have lower intention to quit."
While Nova Scotia will become the first province to ban flavoured tobacco, including menthol, other provinces are also taking action. In Ontario, legislation to ban flavoured tobacco products, including menthol, is at an advanced stage before the provincial Legislature. In Quebec, the provincial government has said that it will introduce legislation on flavoured tobacco this spring.

The Best Reason To Post Nude Images On FB Today
Wondering why there are naked pictures on your Facebook newsfeed this morning? Apparently, it's Nudity on Facebook Day. The page for the virtual event explains their mission, encouraging users to "post an image of a naked body on Facebook to protest its continuing censorship of artists, curators and critics who have been censored for posting art and images that depict the nude human body." It's a stand not only against the censorship of nudity on Facebook, but on all social media platforms — and, perhaps more importantly, it's a stand against society's assumption that nudity is a bad thing. Bodies are awesome, so why can't we celebrate them?
On the subject of censorship, Facebook discusses nudity specifically in their Community Standards, stating, "We restrict the display of nudity because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content — particularly because of their cultural background or age." As a general sentiment, this standard seems reasonable to me; however, there's definitely a murky gray area, especially when it comes to female nudity. Social media sites have a habit of enforcing the rules for some people, but not for others, which is problematic (if you're going to have the rule, have it apply to everyone, regardless as to whether they happen to fit within society's set of arbitrary beauty standards); furthermore, these rules suggest that bodies and body parts are inherently sexual. (They're not.) And even aside from beauty standards and sex, there's a large controversy surrounding the censorship of nudity in art, period.
Nipples in particular remain a thorny topic. While Facebook does allow pictures depicting women breastfeeding, for example, they do not allow pictures of female nipples. On the topic of breastfeeding, Facebook says: "We agree that breastfeeding is natural and beautiful and we're glad to know that it's important for mothers to share their experiences with others on Facebook" — which is great, considering that breastfeeding is a natural and normal part of many parents' lives. However, Facebook does restrict pictures of the female breast if it includes the nipple. There are no such restrictions in place for male nipples.
Now, the female body is sexualized pretty constantly through depictions of women in the media, the pervasive nature of rape culture, and the over-sexualization of women in advertising, to name a few. With movements like #FreeTheNipple aiming to normalize the female body, through both social media presence and topless walks to normalize nipples, decisions to block or remove images containing female nipples feel like a step in the wrong direction.
Let me repeat that for emphasis: Most social media sites' community standards do not censor the male nipple. This reeks of a double standard which, in the end, only contributes to the normality of women as sexualized beings.
Of course, it isn't only Facebook who has come under fire for censoring women's bodies; Instagram has a history of censorship when it comes to women's bodies, as well. Though they have taken steps to rectify their previous policies and even apologizing to women, we do tend to see the same issues of censorship popping up there over and over again, which remains somewhat troubling.
In terms of Nudity on Facebook Day, the aim is to share nudity of both men and women, and there is not an exclusive focus on the female nipple. In my opinion, this is actually a good thing, as the hyper-sexualization of bodies in general can have long-term effects on people of either sex. Studies also show that posing nude can be empowering!

Tiger Woods will take a three-shot lead over Rory McIlroy and world No 1 Justin Rose into the final round of the Tour Championship in Atlanta as he seeks to end his five-year victory drought.
Latest leaderboard
Woods, a two-time winner of the tournament, carded six birdies in his opening seven holes during his third round, opening up a five-shot lead at one stage.
He eventually cooled off for a five-under 65 and a three-shot lead over McIlroy, who fired a four-under 66, and Justin Rose, who carded a 68, at the East Lake Golf Course.
Woods, the 14-time major winner, has the 54-hole lead for the first time since his last victory in 2013 at the Bridgestone Invitational.

Joshua vs Povetkin: Anthony Joshua knocks out Alexander Povetkin to defend world titles
He has never lost an official tournament when leading by more than two shots. And has won 54 of the 57 PGA Tour events in which he has held the 54-hole lead.
Woods had started the day tied for lead with Rose on seven under par. But made a blistering start. He set the tone by holing from more than 20 feet on the first hole. And only a par on the second interrupted his stunning early birdie sequence.
He holed another lengthy putt on the fourth. While his birdies on the sixth and seventh came after impressive shots out of bunkers.
There was a setback with a bogey on the ninth. But that was cancelled out by another birdie at the par-four 12th.
At one stage he led by five from Rose. But he dropped another shot after failing to chip up a slope to the 16th green. He got his second attempt at the shot close to the hole and took a bogey before finishing his round with successive pars.

Tiger Woods and Rickie Fowler share Tour Championship lead ahead of Justin Rose
Rose, who can win the overall FedExCup title with victory here, birdied the 16th. And McIlroy gained two shots late in his round to cut the deficit. But Woods remained in charge heading into the final round.
The American told Sky Sports: "There are some good guys behind me chasing. Guys who have been playing well, and I've got my work cut out tomorrow."
Victory for Woods would cap a fine return to the top level this year following spinal fusion surgery in April 2017.
"This whole season has been pretty remarkable considering where I have come from," said Woods.
Rose kept himself in contention after recovering from bogeys at the first two holes to post a two-under-par round of 68. McIlroy shot five birdies in a 66 to move level with his Ryder Cup colleague on nine under.
The American Kyle Stanley and Spain's Jon Rahm were tied for fourth on six under with Paul Casey, Billy Horschel and Tony Finau a shot further back.
Sunday will be the first ever time Woods and McIlroy play in the final group on the PGA Tour.
Watch coverage of the final round of the Tour Championship on Sunday from 5pm on Sky Sports Golf and 7pm on Sky Sports Main Event.

This class is exclusive to the patients who are a part of the Medical Weight Loss program. Various topics related to fitness, nutrition, and behavior will be covered.
Please note our support group is only available to patients of Dr. Dachuri. There is no need to sign up for this group. This group is not suitable for children or adolescents. If you do not have childcare, please plan to attend a later group.
You may think of heart disease as a problem for adults, not for your young children. But, the CDC says obesity affects 1 out of every 5 U.S. children. Diet and exercise habits started in childhood can start a lifetime of heart health . . . or a lifetime of heart damage.
Some of the causes of adult heart disease that start in childhood and can be prevented are:
Buildup of plaque (or fat deposits) in the arteries
Unhealthy changes in cholesterol levels
High blood pressure
Exposure to cigarette smoke
Lack of physical exercise (sedentary lifestyle)
Unhealthy diet
Although it's true that heart disease risk can run in families, a healthy diet can help every child reduce heart disease risk. If heart disease does run in your family, talk with your child's healthcare provider about whether to have his or her cholesterol and blood pressure measured regularly, in addition to watching weight.
A balanced diet is important for children and teens, not just to prevent heart disease, but also to encourage healthy growth and development. A diet that prevents heart disease contains two important parts. The first is keeping daily calories at the right level. Eating too many calories can cause weight gain. This is hard on the heart. The second is limiting fat. The USDA recommends that children limit the amount of fats — especially saturated fats — that they eat. Saturated fat is solid at room temperature.
Here are guidelines for creating a heart-healthy childhood diet:
Breastfeed infants as long as possible. Aim for a full year, even as you introduce solid foods.
Feed your child mostly fruits and vegetables, with whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy.
Watch portion sizes. The recommended daily amounts of healthy foods for children are:
2 ounces of lean protein (fish, chicken) every day for children between 2 years and 3 years old, 3 ounces to 4 ounces for children 4 years to 8 years old, and 5 ounces to 6 ounces for children 9 years to 18 years old
2 cups of low-fat dairy for children under 8, and 3 cups for children 9 years to 18 years
1.5 cups of fruit
2.5 cups of vegetables
6 ounces of whole grains
Don't eat fast food too often. If you do eat out, make healthy choices (like a grilled chicken sandwich instead of a bacon cheeseburger) and keep portion sizes reasonable.
Don't give your children sugary drinks. Instead, serve water and low-fat milk.
The American Academy of Pediatrics advises children younger than 1 year of age should not be given any fruit juice. This is because it does not have any nutritional benefit for babies They also recommend no more than 4 ounces of 100% juice for children ages 1 to 3 years, no more than 4 to 6 ounces for children ages 4 to 6, and, no more than 8 ounces of juice per day for children age 7 and older.
Total fat should be no more than 30% to 35% of total daily calories for children 2 years to 3 years old and 25% to 35% of calories for those up to 18 years old. Choose healthier fats: the mono- and polyunsaturated fats.
Choose whole grains like brown rice over refined grains like white rice for added nutrients and fiber.
Don't require children to finish everything on their plate. Allow children to tell you when they feel full and are done.
Many daily choices that children and teens make affect their heart disease risk. Here are some choices you can encourage your children and teens to make that will help protect their hearts:
Get about 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity most days of the week in childhood. This can be broken up throughout the day into 2 or more periods of activity.
Since many kids trade being active for sitting in front of the television or a computer, keep screen time to less than 2 hours per day.
Don't expose your kids to cigarette smoke. Ban smoking in your house and car. Don't take your kids to places where people smoke cigarettes. If you smoke, quitting smoking can help you and your kids.
Remember that you are the most important role model for your kids. Your children and teens will learn their best heart healthy choices by watching you.

Panther Baseball Drops Pair of Games at Trinity
April 29, 2015
The Middlebury baseball team won twice and lost twice last week , defeating St. Michael's and St. Joseph 7-2 and 4-2 respectively before falling to Trinity in a doubleheader 4-2 and 8-0 on Saturday, April 25. The 2-2 record on the week brings the Panthers to 3-19 on the season.
In the first home game of the week on Tuesday, April 21, Middlebury fell behind to St. Michael's 1-0 in the first inning, but erupted for a seven run second inning on five hits and three Purple Knight errors that would prove to be more than enough to earn the win.
After falling behind 1-0 in the first, Joe MacDonald '16 led off the second with a double to centerfield. A St. Mike's error put runners on first and third, and Raj Palekar '18 did his job to tie the game with a sacrifice fly. Brendan Donohue '18 drove in another run on a single to center, and two more defensive miscues gave the Panthers a three run lead. Dylan Sinnickson '15 kept the inning going by continuing to do what he has done all year by driving in two more on a double into the left center gap. MacDonald made it a 7-1 game in his second at bat of the inning with an RBI single down the left field line.
With a six run cushion, Truss seemed to settle into a groove, shutting down St. Mike's over his final five innings to amass an impressive stat line of six innings, six hits, one run, no walks, and four strikeouts. Cooper Byrne '15 took over in the seventh and enjoyed similar success. Byrne shut the door to preserve the 7-2 win and record his first save of the year.
Dylan Takamori '17 took the hill at home against St. Joseph on Thursday, April 23. Takamori answered his coach's call with his most complete pitching effort of the season to earn his first win of the season.
Once again, the Panthers fell behind 1-0, but they were not easily discouraged and came right back in the bottom of the second with three runs of their own. Sticking with trends, MacDonald sparked the rally for the second straight game with a leadoff single. Jason Lock '17 and Palekar followed up with singles of their own to tie the game at one, and Johnny Read '17 knocked in another on a groundout to the shortstop. Donohue added on with a single of his own to make it a 3-1 in favor of Middlebury after two.
The Fighting Saints cut the lead to one in the fourth with a double in the right center gap followed by a single to center. Takamori exited after surrendering two runs on five hits while striking out four. Smith smartly employed his bullpen over the last four innings.
"I love coming in and giving everything I have for 1-3 innings," Byrne said, "it has made me a much more aggressive and confident pitcher."
Tucker Meredith '17, Eddie DeArias '15 and Byrne shut the Saints out over the last four innings. Byrne earned his second save in as many games after Sinnickson provided him some insurance with an RBI double in the eighth as Middlebury won its second in a row, 4-2.
The Panthers were not able to replicate their success as they reentered NESCAC play at NESCAC East foe Trinity as their bats failed them in both games on Saturday, April 25.
In the first game, Middlebury reverse roles, striking immediately with two runs in the top of the first. Sinnickson and Max Araya '16 led off with back-to-back walks and John Luke '16 plated them with a double. The Middlebury boat started to flood in the fourth when Adam Moossmann smacked a home run to give Trinity a 3-2 lead. The Bantams tacked on an insurance run in the sixth, and Middlebury couldn't muster any more runs after the first to suffer a 4-2 defeat.
It was much of the same in the second game of the day as Trinity outmatched the Panthers in every facet of the game on the way to an 8-0 win. The Bantams tallied four in the bottom of the second, three more in the fourth and one in the fifth. Defensive miscues continued to cost Smith's squad as four of Trinity's runs were unearned.
With their final six games coming in a six-day span this week, the Panthers hope to end their season on a good note as three wins will mark an improvement upon last year's record of 5-24.

didactic \dy-DAK-tik; duh-\, adjective;
1.Fitted or intended to teach; conveying instruction; instructive; teaching some moral lesson; as, "didactic essays."
2.Inclined to teach or moralize excessively; moralistic.
Anthony (never Tony) had one didactic dad. William (never Bill) could kill any fun with a lecture. "Lookit my bubble, Daddy!" Anthony would exclaim, and William would say, "You know Anthony, bubbles are shaped by an equilibrium between their outward air pressure and the inward surface tension of the soap film." Anthony would say, "Please push me on the swing, Daddy," and William would, all the while yammering, "At an earlier time, swinging was understood as a parametric oscillator, but when scrutinized more closely, the action required to pump a swing is really a driven oscillator, most notable when the swinger is at the lowest point of the arc of the swing. Action occurs at the lowest point in paramatric oscillation, but as I'm watching you I see you glide through the lowest point of the arc, a trademark of driven oscillation."
Anthony was a smart kid. He knew all his letters and numbers and how to spell his name before he was three years old. Anthony was also socially inept. None of the other kids would play with him. At naptime he thrashed around for the first hour and a half and slept fitfully for the last half hour. And I'll tell you this: at the end of the school year, when Anthony moved on and we were deep-cleaning the nap room, we found the baseboard where he thrashed and slept smeared with boogers for a full 8 inches.

26 Epic Pictures of Parachuting

Looking at parachuting and skydiving pictures can be either exciting or terrifying. They can inspire you to go parachuting yourself, or just make you glad that you're safely on the ground, looking up instead of down. Regardless of which reaction you tend towards, photos of people jumping out of airplanes and falling or floating in the sky are epic.

In July 2018, Public Health England and Food Standards Agency announced that an outbreak of listeriosis had been traced back to frozen sweetcorn.
Listeriosis is a rare but potentially serious infection. It is usually caught by eating food containing listeria bacteria.
There are 43 affected products which have now been recalled from UK supermarkets including Sainsbury's, Lidl, Tesco and Iceland. A full list is available on the Food Standards Agency website.
Public Health England are reminding people that most frozen vegetables need to be cooked before eating. This is important even if adding them to salads or smoothies.
Whilst this outbreak has been found in frozen food, the bacteria which cause Listeriosis can be introduced into food before, during and after preparation. There are a few simple steps that you can take to reduce your risk of becoming unwell. For example:
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water
- Wash fruit and vegetables before eating them
- Store ready-to-eat foods according to the guidance on the packaging
- Make sure that all food is steaming hot all the way through before eating
- Do not eat food after its use by date – even it looks and smells normal
- Stayed informed on the difference between best before and use by
In most cases listeriosis is mild and will usually pass within three days without the need for treatment. If you experience symptoms then you may be able to look after yourself at home until you are feeling better.
If you're pregnant or have a weak immune system listeriosis can cause serious complications; you should seek expert advice by contacting your GP or the relevant out of hours' service as soon as possible.
You should be given a same-day appointment if you think you have Listeriosis and:
- you are pregnant
- you have a condition that weakens your immune system (like diabetes)
- you're having treatment that weakens your immune system (like chemotherapy)
- you think your baby might have Listeriosis
For further information and advice please visit:

I haven't been out on my bike for just under 2 months now, for a couple of reasons.
Firstly I have a problem with my knee. It came on a few months ago when I completed my last long ride – the triathlon bike course. I couldn't put any pressure on it, although I can walk OK, I just can't put any power through the knee so can't peddle. I've tried a couple of times since but it's still there and I can't seem to shake it. Maybe time to go and see the doctor and get a diagnosis me thinks.
Secondly my wife isn't well and has had to spend some time in hospital leaving me to look after the kids alone. Not a problem and it's part of being a parent. It just means I haven't been able to get out of the house, to either run or cycle.
We completed the Sport Relief mile a few weeks ago, as a family and I felt good physically, the knee held up so I was kind of happy that I could still make it to the start line for the Triathlon in June. The only problem I have now is that I haven't been able to do any training, can't get out of the house for long so can't ride, run or swim so I think it's over.
My dream of competing in a Triathlon this year has kind of ended before it has started. I just need to decide if this is the end of my dream or whether I should try again for the Last of the Summer Tri in September which takes in part of the Tour de France Grand Depart route in Holmefirth. I'd love to do it but need to make sure that my knee can take it and that I can get some training in before hand.
So is this the end? I hope not.
