Each individual small business is familiar with products design and style may be the key into a prosperous product or service. Attractive packaging is equally critical as being the good quality from the products. Stores around the globe invest thousands and thousands on screening enjoyable and vibrant packaging for their products. Whether or not its cosmetics, grocery, or health-related, consumers make split decisions based on the looks of products and solutions. With crowded marketplaces and expanding opposition, retailers have to have a specific edge. Partaking product or service packaging provides your organization an actual advantage. But shelling out time creating and screening quite a few layout variations could be pricey and time-consuming, especially from the opposition of greater name manufacturers or franchise firms.
This is why it truly is a wise choice for increasing corporations. It saves companies' time and cash by allowing yet another enterprise design and style, regulate, and distribute their solutions underneath the primary company's brand. Organization Dictionary defines a private label is often a "brand owned not by a maker or producer but by a retailer or provider who receives its merchandise made by a agreement manufacturer below its have label. Also known as personal brand name." Not only does this preserve resources, it may possibly attract and keep a lot more customers.
The primary company's brand Organization Dictionary defines
- General Targeting ,.
- A number of the causes for this increasing acceptance.
- Based on Offer Design and style Magazine, "Annual sales of private-label merchandise have risen.
- Just about every small business is familiar.
Based on Deal Design Journal, "Annual product sales of private-label products and solutions have risen by 40% in supermarkets and by 96% in drug chains, reaching far more than $100 billion in 2010." This kind of packaging has yet another advantage: consumers are quickly studying non-public labels would be the very same quality as more substantial nationwide makes. Unlike identify models, these items you should not should pour in massive pounds for advertising. The solution is usually marketed at a extra appealing cost point devoid of sacrificing excellent.
Advantage consumers are quickly
Key stores like Trader Joe's and Full Food items are delivering additional non-public label solutions. A astonishing growth is that buyers have gotten faithful brand name followers. The Private Label Manufactures Affiliation, PLMA, is a non-profit group that organizes the industry's most significant annual personal label trade demonstrates in Chicago, Amsterdam, and Shanghai. A 2011 analyze for PLMA uncovered that 8 out of 10 people now level private label as either "equal to" or "better than" countrywide models.
A lot of the reasons for this rising acceptance are definitely the Good Economic downturn along with the subsequent restoration. Millions of consumers turned far more cost acutely aware. For a few, this was the very first time they at any time ordered a private label brand. Immediately after decades of normal use, customers have incorporated these manufacturers into their grocery or beauty buying plan. There are various companies furnishing companies for just a choice of industries. Cosmetics organizations certainly are a excellent applicant for this sort of packaging.
Very first time they at
A non-public label cosmetics manufacturer can create your line in smaller or large portions depending on your corporations demands. You have the liberty to decide on the shades and customize the packaging. That is a smart option for little magnificence salons and boutiques. The foodstuff industry is another major lover. In keeping with a Nielsen report, "Private label foodstuff makes really are a $90 billion business enterprise accounting for 17.four per cent of retail foodstuff gross sales from the U.S." These foods companies never really need to shoulder the massive costs of advertising and marketing, so that they can value their product or service at a reduced price even though nonetheless retaining an improved financial gain margin.

A Guide To Home ExchangePosted on: 30 June 2009 by Gareth Hargreaves
Home exchanging is on the increase, thanks to the credit crunch. Swapper Mike Davies offers his tips on the new travel essential.
You've been tracking them for some time. You know where they live, how old they are, what they do. You know when their home will be empty and for how long they'll be away. And then, soon after they've left, you make your move.
You turn the key, switch off the alarm and have a long look around. You check out the CDs, the bookshelves, the artwork. You eat off their plates, sleep in their linen. Within a day or two, you're even adopting their lifestyle: going to their favourite restaurants, using their bikes, driving their car. You might even annexe their friends.
It sounds like a sequel to Single White Female, but there's a crucial difference: your "victim" has been offered the chance to do precisely the same thing in your home. And there's not just trust, but enormous goodwill, on both sides of the bargain.
House-swapping was once considered something of an oddity, along with cycling to work and composting vegetable waste. Suddenly, it is fashionable. Gumtree.com, a listings website, reported last week that more than 13,000 families have registered to exchange their homes — up 61% on a year ago.
Whether because of the credit crunch or just because of the realisation that there are cheaper — and better — ways to get to know a place than staying in a hotel, more and more people are at it. And more and more organisations are being set up to cater for their needs.
But what is it actually like? Over the past five years, we have exchanged our three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in unglamorous Harlesden, northwest London, for a palatial maison de maître in Brittany, a modernist villa in achingly fashionable Antwerp and a cosy cottage in Somerset.
We've spent high summer on the Adriatic and deep midwinter in snowbound Vienna. Most recently, we stayed in a four-bedroom apartment near the Eiffel Tower that came with scooters for the children, Sonia Rykiel sheets (divine, since you ask) and an oven so state-of-the-art, it had three settings for brioche.
Based on a hotel stay costing £100 a night for a family of four, our 10 exchanges have saved us £10,000. But it's not just about money. By swapping homes, we've gained an insight into the lives of others — and also come to look at our home in a new light.
The first stage in any swap is preparing photos for uploading to the internet. You're effectively acting as your own agent, putting yourself in a global shop window, which makes you look afresh at all those little flaws that you have grown used to, but would be ashamed to show a visitor.
As my wife, Clare, would no doubt agree, I've always had an, er, easy-going approach to home maintenance. Call me a DDIYer — as in "don't". Exchanging has brought out my (well) hidden house pride.
It began with our first swap, in a village near Ghent, Belgium, in 2004. For months after we'd moved to Harlesden, cardboard removal boxes crammed full of toys had lurked balefully, unused, in the children's room. Suddenly they were gone, replaced by brightly coloured plastic tubs, labelled with almost obsessive precision.
Chipped mugs and unmatched cutlery were banished; Egyptian cotton sheets arrived in the bedroom; shelving units sprouted in the kitchen and front room. Ikea morphed into Habitat; CDs and records were neatly filed away.
I progressed from flatpack assembly to fixing the lock on the front door and rehanging the doors on a corner kitchen unit to replace the hinges that didn't match. (It's amazing the difference a looming Eurostar departure time can make to your chiselling skills.)
Thanks to exchanging, our house is neater, and tidier, too. After one early-morning rush too many, we've learnt to allow a good week for the deep cleaning, and to keep things pristine for as long as possible afterwards.
The process can be laborious, but it brings its own reward: swappers generally leave things as they find them, so when you arrive back after your holiday, you'll find your home in pristine, dust-free condition.
In some cases, says Lois Sealey, who runs Home Base Holidays, you'll find it looks better: "Partners will fix things like leaky taps." The prospect of an exchange can also spur homeowners to carry out big renovation projects they have long been putting off, she says.
In our case, this meant levelling our mouldy old shed, replacing it with a lean-to at the front of the house and a playhouse in the garden. Ideal for Rosa, 9, and Ella, 7, but also a draw for any family with young children; and with the cost the equivalent of a fortnight's home exchange, not difficult to justify.
The children's bikes are no longer in the hall, and the lean-to is perfect for storing sacks full of clutter that need to be hidden just before an exchange. (Well, nobody's perfect...)
A desire to maximise our home's exchange potential even influenced our decision to convert the loft this summer: extra bed space means a wider range of families with whom to swap.
So, with no accommodation costs, an insider's view of your holiday destination and a happier home, the question is, why doesn't everyone exchange? For starters, there's the issue of trust: if you invite a stranger to live in your own home, how do you know they won't trash the TV and steal the family silver?
But would you abuse someone else's hospitality? And if not, why assume anyone else would? Admittedly, there is no built-in legal protection in home exchanging, but there is a strong sense of mutual responsibility, fostered by providing information about the house, as well as tips on what to see, where to eat and local shopping. Exchangers are encouraged to leave a first meal and a welcoming bottle of wine; the French seem particularly keen to show off the local produce.
The main home-exchange organisations say theft is rarely an issue; Sealey hasn't had one complaint in the 24 years Home Base Holidays has been running. Caroline Connolly, business manager of HomeLink UK, Britain's biggest swapping organisation (of which we are members) agrees.
"There's a lot of communication, so you get a feel for who you're swapping with," she says. "If I thought you were going to walk off with the telly, I'd simply look elsewhere." Insurers usually prefer a home to be occupied than to lie empty for a week or more.
What about breakages? Wilful damage is almost unheard of. At worst, says Brian Hayes, Great Britain organiser for Intervac, there's the occasional instance of "teenagers making a mess" — but accidents do happen. At least, they do to me.
On that first Belgian exchange, I smashed a windowpane when parking a bike after sampling one too many of the country's famous beers. That's nothing compared to the people who left a rear window ajar while staying in Antwerp, thereby contributing to the death by strangulation of the family cat (at least, that's the version I read in the guestbook).
The best policy is to own up and offer to pay for a replacement (slightly trickier with the cat). If you're worried, agree in advance which rooms/drawers are off limits.
There's one other common concern for would-be exchangers: is your house special enough to attract visitors from the kind of places you'd like to holiday in? Well, buffed and sheened as our Harlesden home might be, it's hardly Belgravia; but we have good transport links nearby, and a small but pleasant garden. We've received roughly an offer a week since 2004 and had positive responses to several of our own approaches.
In general, people seem to like the local vibe: as a Danish family put it, "even the drunks at the top of your street were charming".
Even if you're not near a tourist hot spot, your home might be ideal for expats, distant relatives or Americans on the ancestral trail.
So what about the pitfalls? As the feline fatality in Antwerp suggests, pet care can be a problem: we've looked after cats, rabbits and chickens, all to the children's delight, but have been asked in advance whether we minded. Not so one Canadian exchanger, who arrived in Ireland to find a dog in the partner's home. He suffered from an allergy, so had to move out to a hotel.
And what if their place is posher than yours? Website listings give a good idea of what to expect, but there can be problems when an exchange property turns out to be a holiday home.
"Some people say they'd never exchange their main home for a holiday one, as it won't be as well equipped or personal," Sealey says. Hayes agrees: "We expect people to say upfront that it's a holiday home, and get pretty cross if they don't."
We were caught out in Ravenna, the ancient Roman port on the Adriatic Sea: beautiful Byzantine mosaics, big beach, but a basic kitchen and no internet.
In the end, though, these are minor problems, and needn't ruin your stay.
You can pick holes in any place if you try — while that cooker in Paris had endless patisserie permutations, I never found any oven gloves — but you'll be having too much fun to bother. And when you return to the domestic idyll you've so carefully created for your guests, you'll realise that there really is no place like your own home.
Fair Exchange
- Start by registering with a home- exchange organisation. Then post details of your home, with photos, dates and ideal destinations, and wait for the offers to roll in — or approach fellow members to offer a swap.
- Try these organisations: HomeLink UK: 01962 886882, www.homelink.org.uk; annual fee £115. Intervac: 0845 260 5776, www.intervac.co.uk; £50.Ukholidayswapshop: 01766 780740, www.ukholidayswapshop.co.uk; £15 until June 30, then £25. Home Base Holidays: 020 8886 8752, www.homebase-hols.com; £29. Exchange Holiday Homes: 01579 321402, www.exchangeholidayhomes.com; free to join, £67 per swap. For second-homers only.
- Be honest about your area, and the distance to the city centre or attractions. A map is a great help. How do we tempt people to the erstwhile murder capital of north London? We call it a "vibrant multicultural area", and point out the excellent transport links.
- Tempted to tell porkies? Google Street View might expose them. And beware the wisdom of the London cabbie: one of our partners was told, "Harlesden? Don't let your daughters out at night!"
- Include photos of local attractions, as well as your home. Consider setting up a website to showcase your home. And don't be afraid to ask for more pictures from a potential partner.
- Make sure you have enough beds. If you're swapping with a family, don't assume that the children share rooms.
- Inform home insurers of your plans the first time you swap. They're usually only too pleased to have a property occupied. This goes double for car swaps.
- Never smoke in the house without prior permission.
- Agree on phone and internet usage. WiFi is a big draw.
- Leave spare keys with a neighbour or friend.
- Leave posh cleaning products at the front of your kitchen cupboard as an extra incentive.

Before I posted this topic I ran a search and cannot find an answer on how to fix this.
I made 40 cupcakes for a friend's sons birthday party which will take place in about 4 hours. The cupcakes came out delicious (used my regular white cupcake recipe)....and dry.
I technically can ignore my kids for the next hour or so while I make a new batch, or I can attempt to fix these. Any ideas? I was thinking of putting in a filling, but what filling is going to make the rest of the cupcake moist - not just what is in the immediate vicinity of the filling? All and any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
You could try a medium thick slurry of sugar and water and inject that. It's not the best solution but will do in a pinch
You can inject filling onto the cupcake in three places. That's how I fill all my cupcakes. Instead of just in the center. I use tip 8. Filling in every bite!
a simple syrup will moisten the surface - heat equal parts water and sugar til it disolves, brush over (can add flavourings if you want). to much syrup will just turn them soggy though.
hopefully the kids wont notice or care, and will just stuff them down! and even most adults probably wont notice unless they are really dry.
although with 4 hours, id say thats enough time to rebake. which really might eb the best option (although if the adults arent eating them, simple syrup and extra icing - young kids wont care!)
Thanks all,
I ended up with just a plain cream filling and had people coming over to me at the party telling me that they were the best cupcakes they've ever had. I guess that I do tend to be a bit more picky than other people (I did find it dry even with the filling) and I tend to be my worst critic.
Thanks again!

text: London (ANI): The Spice Girls comeback tour seems to be a big success, with them making 10 million pounds each from their 17-night run at Londons O2 Arena. A source at the O2 centre has revealed that the five girls, Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham, have made 50 million pounds between them, a feat that has eclipsed any other stars performance at the venue. Barbra Streisand had high ticket prices but only did three nights while Prince did 21 nights but sold tickets for next to nothing, Daily Snack quoted a source as telling the Evening Standard. Not many groups can sell out 17 gigs at 75 pounds a ticket, its quite an achievement, the source added. The band, which is moving on to Manchester, concluded their final gig at the former Millennium Dome on Tuesday Jan 22 night. Even though the group is making a lot of money, Halliwell, aka Ginger Spice, claimed that the comeback tour had nothing to do with money. The truth of the matter is, to put on this tour has cost 18.6 million pounds, she said. We have done this purely to celebrate our fans, the music and ourselves. This is not a moneymaking expedition. It really isnt. Hopefully we will break even but it has never been about that, she added.

Healthy Beef and Bean Enchiladas
Recipe by Petite Mommy
Excellent enchiladas with only 3 grams of saturated fat. (This recipe was received from www.deliciousdecisions.org)
Top Review by siegeliz
These enchiladas were quite good! Until this recipe, I never thought of mixing the beef with the beans. So much easier to distribute both throughout that way! The one change I did make, however, was to use flour tortillas. This way, the tortillas stayed intact, and since I didn't have to soak them, I had more sauce to go over the top. Great recipe!
See Discussion:2 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup no-salt-added tomato sauce
- 1⁄2 cup salsa
- 8 corn tortillas (6inch)
- 1⁄2 lb lean ground beef
- 1 cup canned fat-free refried beans
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
Directions See How It's Made
- In a small bowl, stir together tomato sauce and salsa. Using about half the tomato sauce mixture, brush both sides of each tortilla. Stack tortillas on a plate and set aside. (This allows tortillas to soften.).
- In a large skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat until brown, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place in a colander and rinse under hot water. Drain well. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Return beef to skillet. Stir in refried beans, chili powder, cumin and pepper. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until heated through.
- Preheat broiler.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas and place, seam side down, in a 10x6x2-inch or 9x9x2-inch.
- glass baking dish. Top with remaining tomato sauce mixture.
- Broil 4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes, or until browned.
- Sprinkle with cheese. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
- Cook's Tip: Not all baking dishes can take the intense heat of the broiler. Make sure the one you choose has tempered glass to withstand high heat. Look on the bottom of the dish for an indication or read the manufacturer's directions that came with the baking dishes.

For Online Computer Support, Ask a Computer Technician
Hi my name is ***** ***** I will be the expert working with you today.
I do not see any photo attached in the chat session. Let me know what cable you are looking for i will help you acquire that online.
what is the brand name of the device you are looking for the cable for.
Thanks. now let me know which cable you are looking for is it the hdmi cable or vga
you want to connect your camera directly to the tv is that correct?
Please refrain using foul language we are professionals answering your question as you have requested for. We are not here to listen to your abusive language.
Can you attach a picture of the cable your are requesting to your reply (using the paperclip icon above this text box) so that I can try to locate the cable for you?
Ok, so the picture you sent is of a cable that you do not need, correct? Maybe you could take a picture of where the cable that you do need would plug into on the TV?
ok ... which camera does it connect to?
Is this a TS01 or a TS02 model?
Ok. Well, there are 427 pieces for that TV. It's going to take me awhile to try to go through this listing: http://www.sparepartsmarket.com.au/LG/ua85s9amxxy-version-ts02-c-14_3401_8871_18517_18519.html
So you are looking for an extension cable that will connect to BN96-27958A. Is that correct? Or, is this the piece you are looking for?
I'm sorry but I am not able to find just the extension for that cable. I can only find the full assembly at this link: http://www.tvserviceparts.com/BN96-27958A.html
Actually, I take that back. I checked the specs on that part number and this would work well for you: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BNC-female-bulkhead-Oring-to-DIN-1-0-2-3-male-Straight-RG179-Pigtail-cable-75ohm-/141473079358?hash=item20f073e03e:g:-ccAAOSw1-RUZ9uI
Let me know if that looks right.
Ok. What about it doesn't look right?
I'm sorry, but I just don't understand what piece you are looking for. There is no "extension" available for the piece that you are showing in that photo that I can find. I am going to have to opt out and let someone else have a try.
it looks to be a ribbon cable
I think that you would want something like this
Are you looking for a cable that you know to exist (in other words, replacing a broken BN96-27958A cable)? Or are you trying to extend an existing cable (BN96-27958A) for some reason? If you are trying to extend a BN96-27958A, then the link that Robert M gave you could work (I haven't checked the specs so I can't say for sure). If you are trying to replace a broken BN96-27958A then you can find one here: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/samsung-television-parts/BN96-27958A/0057/528/model-UN85S9AFXZATS01/1482/0333600.html
Ok, in that case then the answer Robert M gave you should be correct. As long as it is a straight through wire-for-wire with the correct dimensions as the BN96-27958A, then that would work. You would connect the male end to the controller board then connect your existing BN96-27958A to the female end of the extension that Robert M mentioned.
But as far as I can tell there is no existing cable designed specifically for what you are attempting.
I do not understand what you are asking.
it is a ribbon cable extender
its the closest i can find to what your picture looks to be
but unless we get a much better idea of what you are trying to do and what exactly the cable goes to and why you need it longer its going to be tough to give you a certain answer.
Why do you need the cable extended? Are you replacing a piece that got broken or just trying to modify the length for some other reason?
send us a picture of where both ends of the cable go. Because what you are asking for is NOT an extender cable. An extender cable just extends the cable that you already have and it would make no difference what it attaches to.
Have you ever had the device or cable that you are looking for? Or is this a repair that you're doing and that piece is missing?
Ok. That makes more sense. Either Robert or I will try to find what you need now that we have a better idea of what to look for.
i would still need to know what each end connects to. what part isnt working ? I am really kind of lost on what this cable is and what it does.

Probably a silly question but when you use this do you split in half and fill with filling or do you just serve with little icing and lotsa cake? Thanks
I sometimes cut it horizontally and fill but mostly not.
Thanks for the quick response. One mre question, how many cups of batter do you normally use? Thanks for your time.
I use about 6 cups of batter, maybe a little more. If you use an undoctored mix you will need to make more.
You are better off overfilling something like this and baking on a cookie sheet to catch spills than underfilling.
Hmmm.I don't know about cups but I nearly use 2 box mixes..so probably about 6-7 cups.One mix isn't enough and 2 is a little too much.
Thanks a bunch
i have seen people torte and fill these. but i usally send extra icing with them.. that makes them happy.. just a cheap plasic bowl ... that i don,t want back....

Rumor has it, Camilla Belle cheats on her current boyfriend Joe Jonas with Robert Pattinson, whom she was romantically linked with last year.
Young actress Camilla Belle resurfaces on the media headlines as she is rumored to have cheated on current boyfriend Joe Jonas with movie hunk Robert Pattinson. National Enquirer which exclusively runs the story cites a close friend of Camilla as stating, "I've known Camilla for most of her life, and I've never seen her so crazy in love."
Though a representative for Camilla has denied she is hooking up with Robert, the friend insists, "She and Rob have been meeting up with each other for months, and she talks about him all the time!" The friend adds, "Obviously, Camilla has some competition," judging from the fact that the "Twilight" hunk has been romantically linked to a number of women, naming some are Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed, both of whom are his co-stars in the vampire drama movie.
No words have been issued by National Enquirer whether or not Joe Jonas notices Camilla's alleged romance with Robert. As for Robert, he hasn't commented on the matter just yet.
Camilla Belle and Robert Pattinson were romantically linked for the very first time in November last year after they were spotted together at an after party for the Los Angeles premiere of "Twilight". The following month, they were seen enjoying a lunch date at Three Square Bakery on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, Calif.

This year's supplement features the Eleventh Circuit's decision in Duty Free Americas, Inc. v. Estee Lauder Cos. (DFA)[1], another in a growing body of cases to extend contributory liability doctrine beyond the traditional trademark infringement context. In the years since the Supreme Court decided Inwood Labs.[2], courts have generally been predisposed to consider, if not formally recognize, contributory claims across the spectrum of Lanham Act violations.[3] Their basic reasoning has been that all trademark-based claims lend themselves to contributory causes of action because they derive from common-law torts of unfair competition.[4] In DFA, the court expanded on that reasoning when it recognized a claim for contributory false advertising,[5] concluding that the rationale supporting contributory liability in the trademark infringement context applies with even more force to false advertising.[6]
The statutory relationship between trademark infringement and its Lanham Act §43(a) companion prohibition, false advertising, informed the court's decision in DFA.[7] The fact that "both causes of action were motivated by a unitary purpose" [8] — to prohibit unfair competition — lent further support for allowing a cause of action for contributory false advertising. They "should be interpreted to have the same scope,"[9] the court reasoned. By extension, the same principles that led the Supreme Court to recognize contributory liability for trademark infringement in Inwood Labs. supported a cause of action for contributory false advertising.[10]
What is more, the prohibition against false advertising has been deemed by the Supreme Court to afford broader protection than the trademark infringement provisions.[11] Consequently, the court concluded:
It would be odd indeed for us to narrow the scope of the false advertising provision — a cause of action plainly intended to encompass a broader spectrum of protection — and hold that it could be enforced only against a smaller class of defendants. Absent congressional direction, we are reluctant to limit the statute's scope in this way.[12]
The Eleventh Circuit thus makes clear that the traditional rationale for extending contributory liability doctrine to other "trademark-based claims" indeed applies – a fortiori – to false advertising.
[1] 797 F.3d 1248 (11th Cir. 2015).
[2] 456 U.S. 844, 214 USPQ2d 1 (1982). In Inwood Labs., the Supreme Court set the standard for contributory trademark infringement. It held that
if a manufacturer or distributor [1] intentionally induces another to infringe a trademark, or if it [2] continues to supply its product to one whom it knows or has reason to know is engaging in trademark infringement, the manufacturer or distributor is contributorially responsible for any harm done as a result of the deceit.

Consider the following scenario: Company A is a well-known film producer that licenses its intellectual property rights in famous cartoon characters to Company B, a jewelry manufacturer. Company B in turn features those characters in bracelets that infringe Company C's marks. Company C sues both Company B and Company A, alleging direct and contributory trademark infringement, respectively.
In this situation, how should the court apply contributory liability doctrine to Company A, the licensor defendant? As explained in the website overview, that doctrine prescribes a different standard depending on whether the defendant has supplied a product or a service to the direct infringer. How then should the court view Company A? Has it supplied the direct infringer with an intangible "product" – its intellectual property? Or has it provided it with a "service" – the licensing arrangement? Neither option seems to capture the essence of the licensor-licensee relationship. And yet the difference is not merely a matter of form: In the latter case, Lockheed Martin's version of the Inwood Labs. test would apply, with its additional requirement that the plaintiff show "direct control and monitoring" of the instrumentality of infringement.[1]
While the courts generally agree that contributory liability doctrine applies in the licensing context,[2] they have wrestled with how, precisely, to characterize the relationship between the licensors and licensees. In the three cases discussed below, the courts considered licensing relationships in the context of contributory liability. In two of the cases, the courts assumed that Lockheed Martin would apply,[3] while the third court reserved judgment pending further developments in the case.[4] Each court had a different view of how to characterize the licensor's relationship with its licensee.
For example, in Nomination Di Antonio E Paolo Gensini S.N.C. v. H.E.R. Accessories Ltd., [5] (Nomination), the court treated the licensing of intellectual property as "an ancillary service or benefit"[6] to the alleged direct infringer. The plaintiff in that case, a manufacturer of luxury jewelry, alleged that the defendants licensed their intellectual property rights in famous cartoon characters to others who used them to manufacture and distribute counterfeits of the plaintiff's products.[7] Taking the view that the licensor defendants had provided a service to the alleged direct infringers that "increased the desirability of the underlying product,"[8] the court applied Lockheed Martin's direct control and monitoring test, which the complaint ultimately satisfied,[9] though it was dismissed on other grounds.[10]
In Camowraps LLC v. Quantum Digital Ventures LLC,[11] (Camowraps), by contrast, the court was more circumspect: It reserved judgment on whether Lockheed Martin's test applied, concluding that the licensor-licensee relationship between the defendants fell into a "gray area."[12] The plaintiff in Camowraps alleged trademark infringement against both a competing manufacturer and a company that licensed its marks and domain name to that manufacturer. The licensing agreement between the parties gave the licensor an ongoing right to approve the alleged direct infringer's use of its marks. That arrangement thus raised genuine issues of material fact as to monitoring and control under Lockheed Martin sufficient to sustain the plaintiff's contributory infringement claims — regardless of whether the product or service version of the Inwood Labs. test applied.[13]
In still another case, Oban US, LLC v. Nautilus, Inc.[14] (Oban), the court refrained altogether from pressing the licensor-licensee relationship into either the "product-" or "service-" provider molds.[15] There the court simply noted that the complaint had not distinguished among claims of "contributory infringement involving a physical product and those in which an alleged contributory infringer provides a service, or as here a license."[16] In dismissing the claim, the Oban court assumed that Lockheed's "direct control and monitoring" test would apply to the licensor defendant, just as the Nomination[17] court had done.
The courts' struggle to press the licensor-licensee relationship into the traditional "product-" or "service-" provider molds––neither of which, after all, really fits––suggests there might be a better answer. When presented with novel issues such as this one, courts often look back to basic common law principles for guidance.[18] In fact, there is such common law precedent regarding licensors of real property. We might therefore ask whether the courts should regard licensors of intellectual property in the same way as they regard licensors of real property.
Indeed, well before the Supreme Court decided Inwood Labs., it had always been the case that landlords and licensors of real property were responsible for the torts of those they permitted on their premises where they were aware of the tortious activity.[19] By way of analogy, in a contributory infringement case involving a licensor of intellectual property, the court could reason that just as a landlord (or licensor of real property) withdraws from exercising its exclusive rights over its real property by renting it out to another party, so too does the IP licensor withdraw from exercising its exclusive rights to use its mark by allowing another party to use them. It is worth noting that in other contexts as well,[20] the landlord-tenant model has long provided courts with a useful frame of reference for analyzing contributory liability outside the traditional "product" paradigm addressed in Inwood Labs.
If the courts view licensors of intellectual property as they do landlords (or licensors of real property) in contributory infringement cases, then the product/service distinction is immaterial. As discussed in detail in Chapter 7 of Secondary Trademark Infringement, landlords that knowingly rent or lease their premises to tenants that in turn use them to infringe others' trademarks have long been subject to contributory liability. And in such cases the courts have made clear that the plaintiff must demonstrate the landlord defendant's control over the infringing sales.[21] Thus, according to this view, Lockheed Martin's "direct control and monitoring" test should apply––as the courts in both Nomination and Oban suggest––regardless of whether licensors are properly characterized as "product" or "service" providers.

The Supreme Court issued its order today denying Petroliam's petition for writ of certiorari.
Posted on September 3, 2014
We've had a lot to say — and with good reason — about Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) v. GoDaddy.com, Inc. (GoDaddy),[1] the Ninth Circuit decision that held there is no cause of action for contributory cybersquatting[2] under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA),[3] which was passed as an amendment to the Lanham Act in 1999. This ruling was no mere "development"; it was a great upheaval in the law. The court's analysis is at odds with the plain meaning of the statute, its legislative history, and the contributory liability case law construing it. We first reported the decision as a blog post here. A lengthier analysis appeared in the Winter 2014 issue of Bloomberg BNA's Books Monitor. And the case gets the million-dollar treatment in the upcoming 2014 Supplement to Secondary Trademark Infringement. Each time we looked at the opinion, it became harder to understand it.
In addition to the issues we've already addressed is the less obvious but equally problematic dependence by the court on Central Bank of Denver, N.A. v. First Interstate Bank of Denver, N.A (Central Bank) [4], which involved aiding and abetting liability under the SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").The GoDaddy court relied on that Supreme Court case[5] to help answer an old question that had already been answered, albeit not in the cybersquatting context[5a]: Should courts apply common law principles of secondary liability to the Lanham Act?
Both the Supreme Court and subsequent circuit courts have done so for decades. The Supreme Court resolved the validity of such common law principles under the Lanham Act in 1982 when it set the modern standard for contributory liability in Inwood Labs., Inc. v. Ives Labs., Inc.[6] Inwood Labs.'s two-part test for contributory trademark infringement[7] has been consistently followed by subsequent courts, including the Ninth Circuit.[8] Years later, the question of whether common law principles of agency should apply to the Lanham Act came before the Third Circuit in the landmark case of American Tel. & Tel. Co. Winback & Conserve Program, Inc. (AT &T).[9]There the court acknowledged the validity of vicarious liability (through the paradigm of agency) under the Lanham Act. [10] That case, though not controlling in the 9th Circuit, is nonetheless instructive because the AT &T court considered at length whether the Supreme Court's ruling in Central Bank should apply to the Lanham Act.
In Central Bank, the Supreme Court had rejected the application of aiding and abetting liability to the Exchange Act. Adhering to the plain meaning of the statute, the Court reasoned that an action cannot be maintained for aiding and abetting securities fraud under the Exchange Act because its text did not provide for one.[11] In AT &T, however, the court declined to extend Central Bank to trademark infringement because it did "not believe that the [Central Bank] Court's restrictive reading of the Exchange Act impact[ed] on the determination of the scope of liability under the Lanham Act." [12]
Central Bank had no bearing on the inquiry in AT &T, the Third Circuit reasoned, because the Supreme Court in that case "primarily was concerned with broadening the range of unlawful conduct beyond that specifically proscribed by the [Exchange] Act."[13] Aiding and abetting, the Supreme Court explained, constituted a separate cause of action beyond the scope of the Act.[14] This is not so however, regarding agency liability, the AT&T court reasoned, for "courts imposing liability on agency theories are not expanding the category of affirmative conduct proscribed by the relevant statute; rather, they are deciding on whose shoulders to place responsibility for conduct indisputably proscribed by the relevant statute."[15]
But the AT&T court did not stop there. In distinguishing Central Bank, it held:
[B]eyond this, it is quite clear under Central Bank 's reasoning, the Supreme Court was concerned with the Exchange Act itself under which the private right of action already had been judicially implied. Accordingly, we think that the Court did not intend to overrule settled constructions of other statutes that relied on common law doctrines to determine the scope of liability. …Thus, in contrast to the Court's restrictive reading of the Exchange Act, the Court has endorsed and applied a theory of secondary liability for trademark infringement that comes very close to aiding and abetting. The Court first enunciated the rule over 70 years ago, prior to the enactment of the Lanham Act, when the Court was concerned with constructing and enforcing a common law of unfair competition. … The theory of "contributory infringement", as it came to be called, survived into the statutory era.[16]
Thus, Central Bank did not affect the scope of liability under the Lanham Act, for two reasons: One was that agency can be distinguished from and aiding and abetting. More fundamentally, though, the Supreme Court itself had already allowed for vicarious liability under the Lanham Act. It did so in Inwood Labs., where it validated another common law theory – contributory liability – that closely approximated aiding and abetting.[17]
How, then, in light of the settled law, could the GoDaddy court have concluded that there is no cause of action for contributory cybersquatting under the Lanham Act? The answer, in large part, is that the court insisted on viewing cybersquatting as "a new cause of action that is distinct from traditional trademark remedies[sic],"[18] thereby casting the ACPA outside the purview of the Lanham Act. This dubious conceit has no basis in the statute or its legislative history.[19] It then chose the wrong vehicle, Central Bank, in which to drive its analysis. But even if Central Bank did apply, the legislative history[20] shows that Congress regarded cybersquatting as a new means to an old end, one "indisputably proscribed" by the Lanham Act: trademark infringement.

[2] As discussed in the Main Volume, Chapter 4, cybersquatting is a form of trademark infringement involving the bad-faith registration of another's trademark-protected domain name with the intent to profit.

[5a] As discussed in Chapter 4 of the Main Volume and this earlier post, several district courts have recognized a cause of action for contributory cybersquatting.
[6] 456 U.S. 844, 854 (1982)(Inwood Labs.). See also the discussion of Inwood Labs. in the Main Volume, Chapter 2, Section III.
[7] The Court held:
if a manufacturer or distributor [1] intentionally induces another to infringe a trademark, or if it [2] continues to supply its product to one whom it knows or has reason to know is engaging in trademark infringement, the manufacturer or distributor is contributorially responsible for any harm done as a result of the deceit.

Note that in the service-provider context, a modified form of the test applies. In those cases, "[d]irect control and monitoring of the instrumentality used by a third party to infringe the plaintiff's mark permits the expansion of Inwood Lab.'s "supplies a product" requirement for contributory infringement."

Much of modern contributory liability doctrine is founded on the flea market cases, where the courts first extended Inwood's test for contributory trademark infringement outside the "supplies a product" context to flea market owners and operators whose vendors sold counterfeits of the plaintiff's products. These cases historically distinguish two types of flea market landlords: those who own the flea market itself, leasing booth space to individual vendors, and those who merely own the property on which the flea market is located. Courts have declined to extend liability to the latter category of defendants because they do not exercise direct control over the infringing sales. Flea market owners who are also "operators," by contrast, are subject to contributory claims because they can terminate their relationship with their vendors upon notice of infringing activity.
In Coach v. Sapatis, (D.N.H. Jan. 31, 2014), however, the defendant property owner was also the former owner of the flea market he had sold to his daughter and, under the allegations, remained actively involved in its ongoing operation after the sale. There the court denied his motion for summary judgment on the contributory trademark infringement claim because his activities went beyond mere ownership of the land on which the flea market was located. As the court made clear, "the defendant's degree of control over the infringer—rather than his or her nominative status as owner, lessor, or lessee—is the determinative factor."
The court in Coach v. Sapatis thus clarifies that the rule mentioned above—that mere ownership of the land on which the flea market is located will not trigger contributory liability—is not absolute. This is an important reminder not only in the flea market context, but in other areas, such as corporate ownership liability, where similar principles apply.

Petroliam Nasional Berhad v. GoDaddy.com (9th Cir. Dec. 4, 2013)
As our book speeds its way to the printer, the Ninth Circuit has made sure we will have a lot to discuss on this blog and in the upcoming supplement to Secondary Trademark Infringement. Last week it held there is no cause of action for contributory cybersquatting under the ACPA, exercising the nuclear option on a body of case law that says such claims are valid when they involve fact patterns this sweeping decision ignores.
It was an unexpected development in an unlikely case that involved a tenuous claim of cybersquatting, much less secondary liability for it: Petroliam Nasional Berhad v. GoDaddy.com, where the plaintiff brought a contributory cybersquatting claim against the registrar GoDaddy for registering domain names containing its mark to others who used them to divert traffic to a pornographic Web site. The district court correctly dismissed the claim on a motion for summary judgment because the defendant had acted only in its capacity as a mere registrar whose domain name forwarding service would not subject it to contributory liability under the ACPA. More to the point, the plaintiff failed to establish direct cybersquatting by the third-party registrants. As with traditional trademark infringement, there can be no contributory cybersquatting without direct cybersquatting, so the district court disposed of the claim without reaching the question of whether the Act allowed for it.
Courts in other cases had already recognized a cause of action for contributory cybersquatting. But the defendants in those cases, as one court put it, did not "simply register a domain name and then go about [their] business." They were complicit actors in complex cybersquatting schemes – not mere registrars like GoDaddy. Acting as both registrars and registrants, the defendants in Verizon Cal. v. Above.com and Transamerica v. Moniker Online implicated themselves in the business of the direct cybersquatters, similar to corporate officer defendants who have been held contributorially liable by virtue of their familiarity with and participation in their companies' infringing activities.
In fact, not all contributory cybersquatting defendants have even been registrars. In Microsoft v. Shah, the court allowed a contributory cybersquatting claim against a group of individuals and companies who sold their customers a cybersquatting "method" for profiting from the plaintiff's marks. There the contributory claim was based on a theory of inducement.
Viewed against this backdrop of jurisprudence distinguishing mere registrars from complicit actors, the Ninth Circuit's decision is hard to understand. The court simply declined to address the issues raised in cases like Verizon Cal. when it affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of GoDaddy. Instead it said this:
Extending liability to registrars or other third parties who are not cybersquatters, but whose actions may have the effect of aiding such cybersquatting, would expand the range of conduct prohibited by the statute from a bad faith intent to cybersquat on a trademark to the mere maintenance of a domain name by a registrar, with or without a bad faith intent to profit.
2013 WL 6246460 at *3 (emphasis added).
None of the foregoing cases has even remotely suggested that secondary liability would extend to such "rote" activity as the "mere maintenance of a domain name." In the much more relevant contexts where contributory liability presumably would lie, the courts have made clear that a cause of action for contributory cybersquatting would reach precisely the defendants whose conduct the Act was meant to prohibit — those who are complicit actors in cybersquatting schemes.
For in-depth discussion of the topics in this post, including contributory cybersquatting, see Chapters 1, 3, 4, and 9 in Secondary Trademark Infringement, by Coleman and Price, to be published by Bloomberg BNA this month.

During the final week of June in the Palmetto State, the health of a large majority of state residents was likely greatly impacted.
For sure there was sleep deprivation, not to mention some rising stress levels and skipping heartbeats.
S.C. Sen. John Courson (R-Richland County), who noted he takes blood pressure medication, said another night might likely had done him in. He added quite likely the next day would have brought a vacant senate seat in the state legislature.
School districts across South Carolina spent more than $87,000 last April to send board members to a three-day conference in San Francisco.
Board members from at least 12 different districts used public money to attend the three-day long National School Boards Association (NSBA) Annual Conference in California.
Several brought spouses with them. Expenses included airline tickets, lodging, conference registration, meals, ground transportation and, in some cases, unitemized daily per-diem checks for the three-day event.
As a certified public accountant (CPA) for a major international public accounting firm in the 1980s, I wrote a proposal to audit the state's books for the first time ever.
The proposal was accepted, and I assembled a team of CPAs to accomplish this colossal task.
Needless to say, this experience gave me unique insights into state finances.
One of those insights is that there are far too few professional accountants working in the accounting departments of government agencies.
We really don't need the temperature, heat index and ozone forecast to tell us it's hot. All we have to do is step outside and get slapped with heat and humidity.
Weather forecasters could just hit rewind each morning for the next couple of months. But that is to be expected because it is summer – the time of the year that allows us to do so much of what we love to do outdoors – play ball, swim, camp, cook out and much, much more.
Do you feel the massive earthquake that is shaking up the Middle East? According to the Washington Post, the U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia is at an all-time low.
There is an increasing friction with the Obama administration and the Saudi government feels that America has proven to be an incompetent ally, incapable of conducting a coherent foreign policy.
Did Obama make a mistake in driving Mubarak out of Egypt? Now Egypt is headed down a path to an Islamic fundamentalist takeover.
The United States of America will celebrate its 235th birthday on the Fourth of July. And since Independence Day falls on a Monday this year, most of us will have a long weekend to enjoy the federal holiday.
The midsummer holiday commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring America's independence from Great Britain.
It is a day of celebration, from the backyard to the pool, river or beach. Popular forms of celebration and observance include picnics, parades, cookouts, concerts, baseball games and family reunions.
You would figure, as sure as Lancaster County sports a new courthouse with its recent grand opening, I could provide stories aplenty of the old courthouse next door.
I say that being a lifelong county resident, and even more since my father, the late Jim Howey Sr., was a Lancaster defense attorney who had more than his share of cases in the old building. Toss in the fact that he served some 16 years as the county's probate judge, and I would probably have enough to write a book.
As a woman, I know only too well how few tributes are made to women in our mostly male-oriented business arena.
I learned recently that a local, female, public servant, whom I personally respect for her many years of service in our communities, was offered an opportunity that most women can only dream of.
A group of professional women from Myrtle Beach, aptly named Phenomenal Women, requested this phenomenal woman, out of many candidates, to honor them by speaking at a seminar that extols the business acumen of women in a male-dominated arena.

I won't be attending the up-coming AGW (anthropogenic global warming), protest march in my area. (I also refuse to accept the Orwellian substitution of the phrase, "climate change" for AGW.) It's not because I don't care about the environment, or because I'm fiscally conservative (LOL), or because I'm convinced that Jesus is coming back any day now to make the whole thing a non-issue. Although I'm of the opinion that the AGW scare is a total fraud, that's not entirely why either. Nevertheless, I will share my reasons for not believing in AGW, before moving on to my additional motivations for refusing to support the AGW cause.
1. As outlined above, I don't reject the the theory of AGW because of any ideological conflict of interest. I have never, and will never, accept funding or any other benefit from the fossil fuel industry or any of its advocates. My personal "carbon footprint " is miniscule; I've never even owned a car. I can think of no vested interest on my part, that would be threatened by my acceptance of AGW's reality. On the contrary, AGW would only strengthen the case for a change to gift economy. I could even feel smug about my current life-style, if I wanted to. I am willing to be convinced. I've spent many hours looking for convincing evidence in support of the theory, and I remain open to receiving such evidence. I am unconvinced. Correlation does not prove causation. Yes, carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere appears to be linked to surface temperature. It is not clear that one causes the other. If one does cause the other, there is, presently, dispute as to which is the cause, and which the effect. It may be that both are effects of another cause; the Sun, for instance. AGW theory assumes that rising atmospheric CO2 causes surface warming. This is not proven, and is disputed by some dissenting scientists. It further assumes that human activities are the primary cause of an observed rise in atmospheric CO2. Also unproven, and disputed by dissenting scientists. If AGW theory holds water, then is it not reasonable to expect the models, based on that theory, to have some predictive value? I think so, and given the fact that, almost two decades later, the model-based predictions were wildly wrong, is it not rational to conclude that those models (at the very least) failed to account for important influences? Yes, it is. In addition to the above-mentioned, I have to wonder why, if the evidence is so strong, the AGW lobby finds it necessary to engage in data tampering, misrepresentation, bullying/professional blackmail, overt and thinly disguised threats,and other assorted dirty tricks, to advance their cause.
2. I am justifiably suspicious of AGW theory, due to the fact that it is far too convenient and profitable for powerful vested interests. AGW believers frequently claim that fossil fuel purveyors would be harmed by legislation allegedly aimed at curbing global warming. They further claim that AGW "denial" is primarily funded, and otherwise encouraged, by the fossil fuel industry. Like the AGW models, this theory fails to take important factors into account. Namely:
a) The fossil fuel industry would not actually see a loss of profits because any costs incurred would be passed on to their customers.
b) Those industries have a captive customer base. Transportation, for example, will be dependent on fossil fuels for the foreseeable future. People will continue to need light and heat, and in most cases, their options for energy supply are limited and beyond their control. (More on this later.)
c) The major share-holders in the fossil fuel industry also have investments in other areas. They are, in fact, so mind-bogglingly rich and powerful that there's just no possibility that governments or popular opinion could oppose their actual wishes in any effective way. If the mainstream media are pushing the AGW narrative, (and they are), we can safely assume that it is with their consent and blessing. Any funding of AGW "deniers", on their part, is therefore, purely for show and intended to discredit legitimate objections. In any case, such funding is utterly dwarfed by the amounts at the disposal of the AGW lobby.
d) Powerful fossil fuel industry players, are officially and financially supportive of AGW theory and currently proposed initiatives.
3. The "solutions" being proposed to fight AGW are either ineffective (see 2.b) above), or supportive of some other, more plausible, agenda, such as global government, increased taxation, conditioning people to feel ashamed of wanting to exist at all, etc.
4. Actions speak louder than words. The same groups and individuals who are pushing hardest for action on AGW are not acting as though they actually believe in it.
Since I'm all for erring on the side of caution, if warranted, I was curious about what the "worst case scenario" predicted by the AGW proponents, would look like. Turns out, nobody, NOBODY, not one of the models, is predicting a runaway greenhouse effect. In other words, there is no "point of no return". If a clean, efficient and renewable energy technology is discovered any time in the next 50 years or so, the problem of AGW (assuming it's real) would be solved. Conversely, if such an energy technology is not found, all the taxes and laws in the world aren't going to make a significant difference in the long term. This is another reason I'm deeply suspicious of the motivations and truthfulness of the AGW alarmists. If they were truly concerned about the alleged threat, they would be demanding massive funding for scientific research to focus itself urgently on finding that new energy technology. That would get easily as much public support as putting a man on the Moon did. Top researchers in those fields would be worshiped like pop stars in the media. Public charities would be set up; benefit concerts and telethons would be arranged. That's what would happen if they really believed what they're warning us about. But they don't talk about that. No, they discuss carbon-credit trading schemes, and sweeping new taxes, not to fund research into new energy tech, but to drive down demand. Did you think all that money was ear-marked for fighting AGW? It's not. It's going straight into the general revenue streams of the taxing authorities. A tiny fraction of that gets invested in smart meters, and windmills, and solar panel arrays.Worthless, expensive shit. (You don't hear much about geothermal; probably because it's not stupid.) They fly to "climate change" conferences in private jets. They talk about depopulation. Global government, with total control. (Haven't they been saying they wanted those things for a hundred years at least?) The entities who claim to believe in AGW can't possibly know that a new energy technology can't be found. So why are they behaving as though it can't? It is at least possible; likely, even. It should, therefore, be pursued as a top priority, because anything short of that (assuming a continuation of the market-based economy) can only push the alleged problem further down the road. Depopulation/austerity will "have" to be resorted to. And a new energy tech will still need to be found.
If AGW is real, the "solutions", favoured so far, are futile in the long term and make no sense.
If AGW is a fabrication, intended to advance other agendas, I would expect the situation to look exactly as it does.
It's not as though the powers-that-be have never manufactured a "problem", steered the public reaction, and then reaped the result (intended from the beginning), which is always more power/money/control. It's been done loads of times. Why not? It works really well. The following are red flags, indicating that this maneuver is being used:
1. Multiple, obvious, ulterior motives on the part of powerful interests.
2. Heavy media saturation on the issue.
(Media ownership is very concentrated today and always promotes the wishes of the power elite. Many crucially important subjects are given little or no exposure, because having people thinking about those topics is not in the interest of the power elite.)
3. Within the mainstream "debate", if any, one "side" will either be censored out-right, or made to appear ridiculous or evil.
4. The "solution" never solves the problem. It will be officially aimed at managing it. It often makes the problem even worse. True solutions, when available, are not seriously considered. This is intentional, because as long as the problem persists, additional power/money/control can be extracted to fight/manage it.
When all of the above red flags are in evidence, I assume this is what's happening. All of the above red flags are in evidence with AGW.
Now that I've got all that out of the way, I can explain why, even if AGW were real, the present hysteria over it would remain an unwarranted and dangerous distraction.
As previously mentioned, the worst case scenario (which even the most alarmist sources consider unlikely) is a 4.5 degree average temperature increase over the next 50 years. That would be disruptive, but it could not result in the extinction of humanity or destruction of Earth. Keep in mind that, so far, even the most conservative predictions have proven to be too high. Other concerns, that are being largely ignored in favour of AGW, will, if not addressed, make a few degrees rise in temperature, the least of our worries. Carbon dioxide is not a toxic pollutant; it's what plants need to grow. But nuclear radiation is, and so is spilled crude oil + chemical dispersant, pesticides, industrial waste, chemical spills, depleted uranium, etc. If recent, preventable disasters like Deep Water Horizon and Fukushima continue to occur, and there's no reason to think they won't, will enough of us still be around to fret about AGW? If market forces continue to generate mountains of toxic waste, due to technological or planned obsolescence and other perversities, will a slightly warmer climate still be our most pressing concern a few decades from now? If the unintended (or maybe not so unintended) consequences of GMOs result in a mass die-off of humans and/or bees, will you still lose sleep over global warming? How about WWIII? Obsessing over AGW, at this time, is like sweeping the kitchen floor while the house burns down around you.
And there's one more thing I'd like to point out to believers and non-believers alike. If the market-based society were abandoned in favour of a voluntary gift economy, the alleged threat of AGW would very quickly cease to be an issue. What's more, all the other serious problems I've listed would also be eliminated. I would march in support of that. Yet, I strongly suspect that most of the people freaking out over AGW would never back that solution. Why? Because too many of them are pampered, upper middle class, university indoctrinated, hypocrites. They can easily afford to assuage their guilty consciences with "green taxes" that will crush the less privileged (without solving the problem), but their concern for the planet is, ultimately, no match for their self-interested support for the economic status quo.

Samsung Galaxy K Specs And Price
Finally there is some exciting news for Korean Samsung Galaxy S Fans because a Galaxy S variant : Glalaxy K will soon be available on SKT. The device has some key differences from Galaxy S, despite being similar in many ways. If you are interested in buying one of the two but are confused on which one to go for, we have the detailed specs of Galaxy K right here for you, along with the key differences there are between this phone and Galaxy S. For details, continue reading after the jump.
The Samsung Galaxy K Specs Are:
- 1.2 GHz Samsung Cortex-A8 Processor on Hummingbird chipset
- PowerVR SGX540 GPU
- 3.7 Inch 480 x 800 pixels Super QAMOLED capacitive touch screen display with 16M colors
- Google Android 2.2 Froyo OS (2 times faster than Android 2.1 Eclair on Galaxy S)
- Bluetooth
- 8 GB internal storage
- 5.0 Mega Pixel Camera
- MicroSD/MicroSDHC Memory Card support
- Wi-Fi
- A-GPS enabled
- FM Radio
- TV-out
- Accelerometer
- Proximity sensor
- Digital compass
This device is almost same as Galaxy S with a slight physical change of casing and 3.7-inch display over 4-inch display. A key benefit is the faster 1.2 GHz processor compared to the 1 GHz on the Galaxy S. Also, the relatively smaller screen size compared to that of the Galaxy S, means a higher pixel density on Galaxy K, considering both devices have the same resolution.
In addition to having a faster processor, it is also the first Galaxy device to ship with Android 2.2 Froyo, which includes several improvements and performance enhancements over Android 2.1 Eclair, making Galaxy K even faster.
The Samsung Galaxy K is set to hit SKT this September and the price tag might be same as Samsung Galaxy S retail price.

Year 7 visited Nissan Sunderland Plant to experience 'engineering discovery'.
The aim of the event was to inspire young people to consider careers in the advanced manufacturing industry.
During the visit the children heard how engineers are adapting to an ever changing world. The changing from petrol to electric driven cars.
The first cars produced at the plant were the Nissan Bluebird. On the production line the children watched as Qashqai and Leaf cars were being constructed.
A workshop and presentation allowed the children to experience the birth of a car from a sheet of metal to a fully functional machine being driven from the factory.
The benefits of the electric car were examined and future developments in the car industry were discussed.

The Ducks have Francois Beauchemin. The Sharks have Torrey Mitchell.
Beauchemin missed a good part of the Ducks' season after tearing the ACL in his knee during a Nov. 16 game against the Kings.
Hard work and determination led to his return in time to help the Ducks be competitive in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Sharks unveiled their feel-good story prior to Tuesday night's game at Honda Center.
Torrey Mitchell broke his leg during training camp and had to go through a setback during his rehab. The result was sitting out the entire regular season. He made his season debut in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over the Ducks at Honda Center.
"Torrey, in our locker room, is a bit of a rallying point right now," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "Guys are cheering for him, they're hoping for him, they've missed him all year and he's a likeable guy."
And those are merely his off-ice attributes.
McLellan wants to take advantage of the additional speed that Mitchell brings to the Sharks' lineup. Though he played only 6 minutes, 34 seconds in his season debut, the Ducks should get used to seeing him on the ice more often as the series progresses.
McLellan said that Mitchell was probably ready to play at the beginning of the playoff series but strictly on a physical level.
"If Torrey Mitchell is ready to play, and with him it's not just the physical health but it's the mental health'" McLellan said. "We have to be able to put him in when he's confident enough to help the team. Physically he was probably ready to go in Game 1 but we needed him to be in the right mental state so that he wasn't going to hurt the team. I think waiting was the right thing to do.
"We got 6 1/2, seven minutes out of him. We almost forgot the assets that he had because he haven't seen him since training camp."

Author | exchange4media Chennai Bureau | Tuesday, Oct 18,2005 7:58 AM
Lakshmipathy Bhat, who headed the Colombo operations of Grey Worldwide, has moved to FCB Ulka as General Manager, in charge of Bangalore operations. He replaces Abhinav Sharma, who has moved to Bates, Malaysia. Bhat was based in Colombo from April 2003 to August 2005 as AVP and Country Manager in Grey Worldwide.
Speaking to exchange4media, Bhat said, "I moved back to India for a combination of reasons – personal and professional. I had to be based in Bangalore for personal reasons. Obviously, India is a lot more sophisticated and demanding when it comes to advertising. I did not want to lose touch with the developments here. The opportunity at FCB provided me the best of both worlds."
Bhat had started his advertising career with Trikaya Grey in Chennai and moved to Mumbai in 1990. He spent two years with HTA Direct in Mumbai and Chennai before returning to Grey in 1995. At Grey, he headed Bangladesh operations between 1999 and 2002 and also headed Mumbai operations briefly before moving to Colombo.
Elaborating on the task at hand, he said, "My task at FCB Ulka Bangalore is to manage and grow. We've had some good years in the past and my task is to increase the momentum of growth and take FCB Ulka to the next level in this market. Our track record in building brands is fantastic and I hope to be able to offer our skills to a larger portfolio of clients soon."
Bhat came on board in late September. The current client list of FCB Ulka Bangalore includes Wipro Consumer Care (Santoor, Wipro Baby Soft, Chandrika, etc), and several brands from ITC Foods, including the Sunfeast range, Minto-O, Minto-Fresh and Candyman.
