THIS AGREEMENT HAS A PROVISION FOR ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES. This Registration Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of domain name registration and related services ("Services"). In this Agreement "you" and "your" refer to you and the registrant listed in the WHOIS contact information for the domain name. "We", "us" and "our" refer to the registrars listed at the bottom of this document, any one of which will be the registrar for your domain name and all of which share common ownership, common terms and conditions, and a shared Services infrastructure. To determine which registrar your domain name is registered with, perform a WHOIS lookup at http://www.uwhois.com. You obtain the Services through your primary service provider, with whom we have a wholesale relationship (your "Primary Service Provider"). Your relationship with your Primary Service Provider may be governed by additional terms, as you and your Primary Service Provider may agree. "We," "us" and "our" does not include your Primary Service Provider, except when specifically mentioned or unless your Primary Service Provider is one of us (i.e., if your Primary Service Provider is also one of the registrars listed at the bottom of this document)). 1. YOUR AGREEMENT: By using the Services, you agree to all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the UDRP (defined below) and any rules, policies, or agreements published in association with specific Services and/or which may be adopted or enforced by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), any registry, or governments. 2. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT: This Agreement may change over time, either through amendments by us, changes to ICANN policy or applicable law which may or may not be reflected in the text of this Agreement, or otherwise. Before any material changes to this Agreement become binding on you (other than changes resulting from a change in ICANN policy or applicable law), we will notify you of such changes by, for example, sending email to you at your email address of record. If, as a result of such a change, you no longer agree with the terms of this Agreement, your exclusive remedies are (a) to transfer your domain name registration services to another registrar, or (b) to cancel your domain name registration services with us. Your continued use of the Services following notification of a change in this Agreement indicates your consent to the changes. Unless otherwise specified by us, any such change binds you: (1) 30 days after we notify you of the change, or (2) immediately if such change is a result of a new or amended ICANN policy or applicable law. 3. YOUR ACCOUNT: You must create an account to use the Services ("Account"). Your Account is typically managed and/or provided by your Primary Service Provider. You are solely responsible for maintaining, securing, updating, and keeping strictly confidential all login IDs and passwords, and for all access to and use of your Account by you or any third party. 1. ACCOUNT CONTACT INFORMATION AND DOMAIN NAME WHOIS INFORMATION: 1. You must provide certain current, complete and accurate information about you with respect to your Account information and with respect to the WHOIS information for your domain name(s). You must maintain and update this information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate. You must submit the following with respect to you, the administrative, technical, and billing contacts for your domain name registration(s) and other Services: name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and where available, fax number. The type of information you are required to provide may change and you must provide such information and keep your Account information current. Not providing requested information may prevent you from obtaining all Services. 2. You may provide information regarding the name-servers assigned to your domain name(s) and, if we are providing name-server services to you, the DNS settings for the domain name. If you do not provide complete name-server information, or if you purchase "Name Only" Services, we may supply this information (and point your domain name to a website of our choosing) until such time as you elect to supply the name-server information or until such time as you elect to upgrade from "Name Only" Services. 2. OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THE ACCOUNT AND WHOIS CONTACT INFORMATION: 1. If, in obtaining Services, you provide information about or on behalf of a third party, you represent and warrant that you have (a) provided notice to that third party of the disclosure and use of that party's information as set forth in this Agreement, and (b) obtained the third party's express written consent to the disclosure and use of that party's information as set forth in this Agreement. 2. You represent and warrant that the statements in your application are true and that no Services are being procured for any unlawful purpose, including but not limited to the infringement of any intellectual property right, the unauthorized transfer to yourself or any other party of any domain name or Services, or the violation of any laws, rules, or regulations (the"Illegal Uses"). Providing inaccurate information, failing to immediately update information or engaging in any Illegal Uses will constitute an incurable material breach of this Agreement. Your failure to respond for over ten (10) calendar days to inquiries by us concerning the accuracy of Account and WHOIS contact information shall constitute an incurable material breach of this Agreement. 3. You are responsible for regularly monitoring email sent to the email address in your Account. You may lose your rights to the domain name(s) or your right to receive the Services if you do not respond appropriately and timely to an email sent in conjunction therewith. 3. ACCESSING YOUR ACCOUNT: 1. In order to change any of your Account or domain name WHOIS information, you must access your Account with your Primary Service Provider, or your Account with us. It is your duty to safeguard your Account login identifier and password from any unauthorized use. Any person in possession of your Account login identifier and password will have both the ability and your authorization to modify your Account and domain name information, initiate transfers of your domain name(s) to other registrars, initiate registrant changes to your domain names which may terminate your rights to use such domain name(s), update DNS changes to your domain name(s) which may result in changes to the content associated with your domain name(s) and take other actions which may affect or terminate your rights and access to your domain name(s) and/or the Services. 2. We will take reasonable precautions to protect the information we obtain from you from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction of that information and such reasonable precautions include procedures for releasing Account access information to parties who claim to have lost Account access information. If we take reasonable precautions in relation thereto, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE IF SUCH REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS DO NOT PREVENT THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MISUSE OF YOUR ACCOUNT IDENTIFIER OR PASSWORD AND, EVEN IF WE FAIL TO TAKE REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS, OUR LIABILITY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL BE LIMITED BY THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISION FOUND IN PARAGRAPH 13 BELOW IN THIS AGREEMENT. 3. If you contact us alleging that a third party has unauthorized access to your Account or domain names, we may charge you administrative fees, currently set at $50 (US dollars) per hour, for our time spent in relation to the matter, regardless of whether or not we return control over the Account and/or domain name(s) to you. You will indemnify us for any reasonable attorneys� fees and costs we may incur in relation to the matter, even if those fees and costs accrue as a result of defending an action, or responding to a threat of an action, initiated by You or a third party. 4. SHARING OF WHOIS INFORMATION: 1. We will make available the domain name registration information you provide or that we otherwise maintain to the following parties: ICANN, any ICANN-authorized escrow service, the registry administrator(s), and to other third parties as ICANN and applicable laws may require or permit (including through web-based and other on-line WHOIS lookup systems), whether during or after the term of your domain name registration services of the domain name. You irrevocably waive any and all claims and causes of action you may have arising from such disclosure or use of such information. We may make publicly available, or directly available to third parties, some, or all, of the information you provide, for purposes of inspection (such as through our WHOIS service) or for targeted marketing and other purposes as required or permitted by applicable laws, including by way of bulk WHOIS data access provided to third parties who enter into a bulk WHOIS data access agreement with us. Please click here if you would like your WHOIS information made available for bulk access. We reserve the right to discontinue providing bulk WHOIS data access to third parties. 2. ICANN may establish or modify the guidelines, limits and/or requirements that relate to the amount and type of information that we may or must make available to the public or to private entities, and the manner in which such information is made available. Information regarding ICANN's guidelines and requirements regarding WHOIS can be found at http://www.icann.org/registrars/wmrp.htm, http://www.icann.org/registrars/wdrp.htm, and elsewhere on the ICANN website at http://www.icann.org/. 4. OUR SERVICES: 1. DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION. 1. We are accredited registrars with ICANN for generic Top Level Domain Names ("gTLDs") (such as .com, .net, .org, etc.). ICANN oversees registrations and other aspects of the gTLDs. We also are registrars for a variety of country code Top Level Domains ("ccTLDs") (such as .co.uk, .de, etc.). For a partial list of registry administrators and for more information on gTLDs, see http://www.icann.org/tlds/. Domain name registrations are not effective until the registry administrator puts them into effect. Domain name registrations are only for limited terms which end on the expiration date. For domain names which are created as a new registration out of the pool of available domain names, the term begins on the date the domain name registration is acknowledged by the applicable registry. For domain name registrations which were not returned to the pool of available domain names, the term begins on the date the previous registrant's domain name registration was acknowledged by the applicable registry. 2. We and your Primary Service Provider are not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by the registry administrator arising out of or related to a request to register, renew, modify the settings for, or transfer of a domain name registration. You acknowledge that domain name registration is a service, domain name registrations do not exist independently from services provided pursuant to this or a similar registration agreement with a registrar, domain name registration services do not create a property interest and you have no such property interest in any domain name(s) which you may register with us. 2. AFTER MARKET DOMAIN NAMES: 1. We offer for sale domain names that are registered to third parties (also known as aftermarket domain names) in a variety of top level domain names ("TLDs") ("After Market Domain Name(s)"). All After Market Domain Name registrations are offered on a first come, first served basis. If you are the first to complete an After Market Domain Name registration application for a particular domain name, including payment of the purchase price we designate, we will initiate a transfer of the relevant After Market Domain Name to your Account. At the time of transfer of the After Market Domain Name into your Account, we will add one year to the existing registration period. Any subsequent renewals of the After Market Domain Name will be charged at the then-current renewal fee. Once you submit your order for an After Market Domain Name, you have entered into a valid, binding and enforceable contract to pay the designated purchase price for the After Market Domain Name. Because we are selling After Market Domain Names initially registered to third parties, we have no control and make no representations regarding the accuracy or legality of domain names advertised, the accuracy or legality of any domain name listing, or the right and the ability of the third party seller to transfer the After Market Domain Name or complete the transaction. We do not control whether or not third party sellers will complete a transaction. We reserve the right to reject or cancel your After Market Domain Name registration for any reason including, but not limited to, any pricing errors. In the event your After Market Domain Name registration is rejected or cancelled by us, for any reason, we will refund in full the amount of the purchase price for the After Market Domain Name as your sole remedy. 2. Once the After Market Domain Name is transferred into your Account, such After Market Domain Name may not be transferred away from us to another registrar during the first 60 days following the transfer, during which time the After Market Domain Name may be placed on transfer lock. All of your obligations under this Agreement which apply to the registration or renewal of domain name(s) created by you apply to any After Market Domain Name(s) acquired by you, including but not limited to prohibition against any Illegal Uses. 3. NOT INCLUDED IN THE SERVICES: 1. We are not responsible to determine whether the domain name(s) you select, or the use you or others make of the domain name(s), or other use of the Services, infringes legal rights of others. It is your responsibility to know whether or not the domain name(s) you select or use or allow others to use infringe legal rights of others. 2. We might be ordered by a court or arbitrator to cancel, modify, or transfer your domain name; it is your responsibility to list accurate contact information in association with your Account and to communicate with litigants, potential litigants, and governmental authorities. It is not our responsibility to forward court orders or other communications to you. Our policy is to comply with court orders from courts of competent jurisdiction as well as UDRP Panel decisions. If you contact us informing us that you are contesting a court order from a court of competent jurisdiction, we may, but are not obligated to, place a transfer lock on the domain name pending the outcome of the dispute. If you contact us informing us that you are contesting an adverse UDRP Panel decision, your time limits and procedures to do so are subject to the requirements set forth in the UDRP. We will not delay implementation of a UDRP Panel decision based solely on your informing us that you intend to contest the decision. 4. USE OF FREE SERVICES: 1. In consideration for providing additional optional Services for which we do not charge an additional fee, including, but not limited to, free trials, URL forwarding, email forwarding, free parking page, free website hosting, free email services, or other free services which we may introduce from time to time ("Free Services"), we may display advertising in conjunction therewith through the use of pop-up or pop-under browser windows, banner advertisements, audio or video streams, appendices to emails, or any other advertising means, and we may aggregate for our own use, related usage data by means of cookies and other similar means. We may discontinue any Free Services at any time with or without providing you prior notice. 2. From time to time we may provide you with free or low-cost domain name(s) registration services ("Promotional Name(s)"). If we do so, the services for the Promotional Name(s) will be placed in the same Account as your other domain name(s) and you will be listed as the registrant, though we may point the Promotional Name to IP address(es) of our choosing. If you want to assume control over the services provided to the Promotional Name, including the right to transfer or push the Promotional Name service to other registrars or other Accounts or the ability to control the DNS settings for the Promotional Name, you must pay the promotional registration fee or renewal fee, if any, and the terms of this Agreement will apply to such Promotional Name(s). If you do not want the Promotional Name services, you may request that you be removed as the registrant of such Promotional Names and we may be listed as the domain name registrant or we may delete such domain names or make them available to others. For any domain name services, including these Promotional Names, for which you are listed as registrant but for which you do not pay the registration or renewal fee, we may assign name-servers to the domain name and point the domain name to IP address(es) designated by us until the registration or renewal fee is paid. 5. SERVICES PROVIDED AT WILL; TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF SERVICES: 1. We and your Primary Service Provider may reject your domain name registration application or elect to discontinue providing Services to you for any reason within 30 days of a Service initiation or a Service renewal. Outside of this period, we and your Primary Service Provider may terminate or suspend the Services at any time for cause, which, without limitation, includes (i) registration of prohibited domain name(s), (ii) abuse of the Services, (iii) payment irregularities, (iv) allegations of illegal conduct, (v) failure to keep your Account or WHOIS information accurate and up to date, (vi) failure to respond to inquiries from us for over ten (10) calendar days, or (vii) if your use of the Services involves us in a violation of any third party�s rights or acceptable use policies, including but not limited to the transmission of unsolicited email or the violation of any copyright. 2. If we terminate or suspend the Services provided to you under this Agreement, we may then, at our option, make either ourselves or a third party the beneficiary of Services which are substantially similar to those which were previously provided to you. If we have grounds to terminate or suspend Services with respect to one domain name or in relation to other Services provided through your Account, we may terminate or suspend all Services provided through your Account. No fee refund will be made when there is a suspension or termination of Services for cause. 3. At any time and for any reason, we may terminate the Services thirty (30) days after we send notice of termination via mail or email, at our option, to the WHOIS contact information provided in association with your domain name registration. Following notice of termination other than for cause, you must transfer your domain name within such thirty (30) day notice period or risk that we may delete your domain name, transfer the registration services associated with your domain name to ourselves or a third party, or suspend or modify Services related to your domain name. If we terminate Services for a reason other than cause, we will provide a pro-rata refund of your fees. 4. Your registration of a domain name is subject to suspension, cancellation or transfer by any ICANN procedure now in affect or which may come into affect at a later date, by any registrar or registry administrator procedures approved by an ICANN-adopted policy or any policy adopted by any ccTLD registry or governing body, to correct mistakes by us, another registrar or the registry administrator in administering the domain name or for the resolution of disputes concerning the domain name or as a result of any government decree, rule, law or regulation. 6. FEES: You agree to pay, prior to the effectiveness of the desired Services, the applicable Service fees set forth on the Pricing Page or otherwise communicated to you. In the event any of the fees for Services change, we will use reasonable efforts to give you thirty (30) days prior notice of such changes on the Pricing Page or by other reasonable means. Please check the Pricing Page often for any changes to our Services fees. All fees are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even if your domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your then current registration term, unless this Agreement specifically provides for a refund. At our option, we may require that you pay fees through a particular payment means (such as by credit card or by wire transfer) or that you change from one payment provider to another. 7. PAYMENT ISSUES: In the event of a charge back by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider allowed by us) in connection with your payment of fees for any Services, we and/or your Primary Service Provider may suspend access to any and all Accounts you have with us and/or your Primary Service Provider and all interests in and use of any domain name registration services, website hosting, and/or email services, including all data hosted on our systems and/or on the systems of your Primary Service Provider may be assumed by us or your Primary Service Provider, as the case may be, or may be terminated. We may reinstate your rights to and control over these Services solely at our discretion, and subject to our receipt of the unpaid fees and our then-current reinstatement fee set forth on the Pricing Page or otherwise communicated to you. Reinstatement of Services by your Primary Service Provider may be according to the terms between you and your Primary Service Provider relating to reinstatement. If you have an issue with credit card or other payment charges, you should contact your Primary Service Provider, first, and us, second, regarding the issue before you contact your credit card or other payment process company to request a charge back or reversal of the charges. 8. EXPIRATION AND RENEWAL OF SERVICES: It is your responsibility to keep your own records and to maintain your own reminders regarding when your domain name registration or other Services are set to expire and to maintain current and accurate credit card information should any Services be placed on"auto-renew." As a convenience to you, and not as a binding commitment, we and/or your Primary Service Provider may notify you via an email message or via your Account when renewal fees are due. Should these fees go unpaid, your Services will expire or be cancelled. Payment must be made by credit card or such other method as we may allow or require from time to time. If you select automatic renewal of the Services, we may attempt to renew the Services a reasonable time before expiration, provided your credit card or other billing information is available and up to date. It is your responsibility to keep your billing information up to date and we are not required to, but may, contact you to update this information in the event that an attempted transaction is not processed successfully. Please note: for certain TLDs, the automatic renewal option is not available. 9. EXPIRATION OF A DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION: Immediately after the expiration of the term of domain name registration services and before deletion of the domain name in the applicable registry's database, we may direct the domain name to name-servers and IP address(es) designated by us, including, without limitation, to no IP address or to IP address(es) which host a parking page or a commercial search engine that may display advertisements, and we may either leave your WHOIS information intact or we may change the contact information in the WHOIS output for the expired domain name so that you are no longer the listed registrant of the expired domain name. 1. Reactivation Period Process. For a period of approximately 30 days after expiration of the term of domain name registration services, we may provide a procedure by which expired domain name registration services may be renewed. We may, but are not obligated to, offer this process, called the "reactivation period." You assume all risks and all consequences if you wait until close to or after the expiration of the original term of domain name registration services to attempt to renew the domain name registration services. We may, in our sole discretion, choose not to offer a reactivation period and we shall not be liable therefore. The reactivation period renewal process, if any, may involve additional fees which we and your Primary Service Provider may determine. We may make expired domain name services(s) available to third parties, we may auction off the rights to expired domain name services (the auction beginning close to the end or after the end of the reactivation period), and/or expired domain name registration services may be re-registered to any party at any time. 2. After the reactivation period, we may: 1. Discontinue the domain name registration services at any time thereafter without notice. In which case, certain registry administrators may provide procedures by which discontinued domain name registration services may nonetheless be renewed. We may, but are not obligated to, participate in this process, typically called the "Redemption Grace Period" ("RGP"). We may, in our sole discretion, choose not to participate in the RGP process with respect to any or all of your domain name registration services and we shall not be liable therefore. If available, RGP typically ends between 30 and 42 days after the end of the reactivation period of the domain name services. The current RGP fee is set forth on the Pricing Page and does not include any registration fees that may also be due. We are not obliged to contact you to alert you that the domain name registration services are being discontinued; or 2. Pay the registry's registration fee or otherwise provide for the registration services to be continued. In which case, we may then set the name-servers and the DNS settings for the domain name services, we may set the DNS to point to no IP address or to IP address(es) which host parking page(s) or a commercial search engine that may display paid advertisements, and we may change the contact information in the WHOIS output for the expired domain name so that you are no longer the listed registrant of the expired domain name. We do not have to pay you any of the proceeds we may earn as a result. We are not obliged to contact you to alert you that the domain name registration services are being continued. The domain name will be designated as being in the extended redemption grace period ("ERGP"), and you will be allowed to assume, during the first 120 days of the then extant registration term, complete management of the domain name services, including the right to control the DNS settings, provided that you pay the fee set forth on the Pricing Page plus any registration fees. After the end of the 120-day period, if you do not exercise your rights under this provision, you have abandoned the domain name services, and relinquish all interests and use of the domain name services; or 3. If we auctioned the domain name services to a third party, we may transfer the domain name registration services to such third party. In which case, the third party who won the auction for the domain name services will control the domain name services, including control over the WHOIS information and the DNS settings. You may recover the domain name registration services for a period of up to 42 days after the end of the reactivation period, as such reactivation period applied to you. We are not obliged to contact you to alert you that the domain name registration services are or were auctioned. We do not have to pay you any of the proceeds we may earn as a result of such an auction. To exercise your rights to recover auctioned domain name services, you must contact us and provide us with a certified letter addressed to "Expiration Recovery" and include documents setting forth your identity and address, which identity and address must be the same as the registrant as it was listed in the WHOIS information for the domain name services immediately prior to expiration, a copy of a commonly accepted (in the United States) picture ID (such as a drivers license or passport) which supports your identity and address claim, a front and back photocopy of the credit card you used to pay for Services and you must provide a statement authorizing payment of the reinstatement fee to such credit card, which amount is set forth on the Pricing Page, plus any registration fees. In doing so, you must provide us with sufficient time, in our sole discretion, to allow us to receive and evaluate your documents and to contact the auction winner prior to the end of 30 days after the end of the reactivation period of the domain name services. 10. TRANSFERS: 1. Transfer of your domain name(s) services shall be governed by ICANN's transfer policy, available at http://www.icann.org/transfers/, including the Registrar Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy, available at http://www.icann.org/en/transfers/dispute-policy-12jul04.htm as well as the UDRP as described in Section 16 of this Agreement, as these policies may be modified from time to time. To transfer your domain name(s) you should first login to your Account to lock or unlock your domain name(s) and/or to obtain the EPP "AuthCode" which is required to transfer domain services in an EPP registry (such as .org). Alternatively, you should contact your Primary Service Provider to have your domain name(s) services locked or unlocked or to obtain the EPP "AuthCode." If your Primary Service Provider is unresponsive, you may contact us to have your domain name(s) locked or unlocked or to obtain the EPP "AuthCode" though we may first contact your Primary Service Provider to request that the Primary Service Provider address the request. Only the registrant and the administrative contacts listed in the WHOIS information may approve or deny a transfer request. Without limitation, domain name services may not be transferred within 60 days of initial registration, within 60 days of a transfer, if there is a dispute regarding the identity of the domain name registrant, if you are bankrupt, or if you fail to pay fees when due. We will follow the procedures for both gaining and loosing registrars as outlined in ICANN's transfer policies. Transfer requests typically take five business days to be processed. A transfer will not be processed if, during this time, the domain name registration services expire, in which event you may need to reinstate the transfer request following a redemption of the domain name, if any. You may be required to resubmit a transfer request if there is a communication failure or other problem at either our end or at the registry. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR FAILURE OF A TRANSFER WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSFER PROCESS IS INITIATED CLOSE TO THE END OF A REGISTRATION TERM. 2. We may place a "Registrar Lock" on your domain name services and this will prevent your domain name services from being transferred without your authorization, though we are not required to do so. By allowing your domain name services to remain locked, you provide express objection to any and all transfer requests until the lock is removed. 11. OWNERSHIP OF INFORMATION AND DATA: We own all database, compilation, collective and similar rights, title and interests worldwide in our domain name database, and all information and derivative works generated from the domain name database. We own the following information for those registrations for which we are the registrar: (a) the original creation date of the registration, (b) the expiration date of the registration, (c) the name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and where available fax number of the registrant and all contacts for the domain name registration, (d) any remarks concerning the registered domain name that appear or should appear in the WHOIS or similar database, and (e) any other information we generate or obtain in connection with the provision of Services, other than the domain name being registered, the IP addresses of the primary nameserver and any secondary nameservers for the domain name, and the corresponding names of those nameservers. We do not have any ownership interest in your specific personal registration information outside of our rights in our domain name database. 12. AGENTS AND LICENSES: If you are registering a domain name for or on behalf of someone else, you represent that you have the authority to bind that person as a principal to all terms and conditions provided herein. If you license the use of a domain name you register to us or a to third party, you remain the domain name holder of record, and remain responsible for all obligations at law and under this Agreement, including but not limited to payment obligations, and providing (and updating, as necessary) both your own full contact information, and accurate technical, administrative, billing and zone contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain name and domain name registration and for ensuring non-infringement of any third party intellectual property rights. 13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY (a) SUSPENSION OR LOSS OF THE SERVICES, (b) USE OF THE SERVICES, (c) INTERRUPTION OF SERVICES OR INTERRUPTION OF YOUR BUSINESS, (d) ACCESS DELAYS OR ACCESS INTERRUPTIONS TO OUR WEB SITE(S) OR SERVICES OR DELAYS OR ACCESS INTERRUPTIONS YOU EXPERIENCE IN RELATION TO A DOMAIN NAME REGISTERED WITH US; (e) LOSS OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM ACTS OF OR EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL (f) DATA NON-DELIVERY, MIS-DELIVERY, CORRUPTION, DESTRUCTION OR OTHER MODIFICATION; (g) THE PROCESSING OF AN APPLICATION FOR A DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION; (h) LOSS OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MISUSE OF YOUR ACCOUNT IDENTIFIER OR PASSWORD; OR (i) APPLICATION OF ANY DISPUTE POLICY. NEITHER WE NOR YOUR PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE OR YOUR PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR OR YOUR PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER'S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR SERVICES, BUT IN NO EVENT GREATER THAN $400.00 (US Dollars). BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES, OUR AND YOUR PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER'S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. 14. INDEMNITY: You hereby release, indemnify, and hold us, ICANN, the registry operators, and your Primary Service Provider, as well as the contractors, agents, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, and affiliates of such parties harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys� fees and court costs, for third party claims relating to or arising under this Agreement, including any breach of any of your representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Services provided hereunder, or your use of the Services, including, without limitation, infringement by you, or by anyone else using the Services, of any intellectual property or other proprietary right of any person or entity, or from the violation of any of our or ICANN�s operating rules or policies relating to the Services provided. We may seek written assurances from you in which you promise to indemnify and hold us harmless from the costs and liabilities described in this paragraph. Such written assurances may include, in our sole discretion, the posting of a performance bond(s) or other guarantees reasonably calculated to guarantee payment.

Valentine's Day by the Numbers
A Spending Breakdown for Valentine's Day
1. Happy Valentine's Day
Continue Reading Below
Love is in the air and retailers are seeing dollar signs. Here's a breakdown on how Americans will be spending an estimated $18.6 billion this year on chocolates, pets and of course, on Facebook.
2. $1.6B on Candy, $1.9B on Flowers
More than half of consumers (51 %) will buy candy for their significant other this year, spending $1.6 billion in total, according to the National Retail Federation. In addition, one-third (36.6%) will give flowers to a loved one, with spending topping $1.9 billion. The average consumer will spend $130.97 this year, the NRF reports.
3. $4.4B on Jewelry
Nearly one-fifth of consumers will be giving jewelry to a significant other, with more than $4.4 billion expected to be spend on diamonds, gold and silver, according to the NRF.
4. $1.5B on Gift Cards
Less-traditional gifts are in style this year with 15.6% of consumers a total of $1.6 billion on clothing for their loved one, says the NRF. The organization also reports 15% will be buying gift cards, spending a total of $1.5 billion.
5. $175.61 will Leave Men's Wallets
Men will be spending significantly more than women this holiday, according to the NRF, spending an average of $175.61 on jewelry, flowers and a romantic night out.
6. $88.78 Will Leave Women's Wallets
Women will be spending far less than men on their partner, the NRF reports, with the average bill coming it at $88.78.
7. 40% of Shoppers Will Support Small Businesses
More than 40% of consumers plan to dine at their local restaurants this year. According to American Express OPEN's Shop Small Valentine's Day Monitor, 91% of consumers believe it's important to support local businesses, and on average they plan to spend around $151 on the holiday this year.
8. 20% of People Will Show Pets Some Love
Twenty percent of Americans plan to buy gifts for their pets this year, spending an estimated $815 million on pets, up from $630 million in 2012. The National Retail Federation said on average, pet owners will spend $28.55 this years on their pets. However, men plan to spend more than double on pets, at $72.88, compared to women spending $33.46, the NRF says.
9. 200% Facebook Relationship Surge
Facebook gets hit with the highest number of added relationships on V-Day with an increase of 200%. The survey also said Valentine's Day is the third most popular day to share engagement news on the site, after Christmas, and Christmas Eve.
10. No.1 'Sexiest' Language: French
An international survey of more than 5,000 men and women found that if you speak a different language, 79% find you more attractive and 77% rate you as more intelligent. Rocket Languages found French is the No.1 sexiest language (41%), followed by Italian (16%) and Spanish (15%).

As the US forces burst out of the south of the Cotentin Peninsula, led by George S. Patton, the British forces were still edging forward, hard up against the Panzer forces that still contained the east of the Normandy battlefield.
Battery Sergeant Major Ernest Powdrill describes the situation as the the British forces pushed forward into the German lines. He was the senior NCO of a battery of Sexton self propelled guns. Twice on the 3rd August he abandoned the relative security of the the gun positions and went forward on foot to investigate the position in front. It was for these actions that he was awarded the Military Cross. His account gives a sense of how confusing the battlefield could be:
This position was to be one of the most (if not the most) precarious of positions we had occupied since Operations Epsom and Goodwood. We stayed the night there in some trepidation, deep in enemy territory, literally surrounded by roaming German tanks and infantry.
At 1025 hrs I was informed that enemy tanks were very close and my right section of 'E' and 'F' gun subsections were withdrawn from an indirect firing role to take up anti—tank positions, shortly to be joined in that role by both 'Charlie' and 'Don' Troops, such was the imminent danger. We also formed ourselves into some loose infantry sections, although what we were supposed to achieve is questionable since we had no infantry or anti-tank weapons.
Moreover, a Sexton self-propelled gun is not an ideal anti—tank weapon because of its limited traverse. Half of the gun teams crouched low below the sides of the Sextons, whilst the other half dismounted to take up observation positions on the ground, their role to give early warning of approaching tanks or marauding infantrymen.
It was reported that enemy tanks were as near as 200 to 300 yards away, but the close country was such that we couldn't see them. The guns were loaded with armour-piercing shot, which was a solid lump of metal about the size of a large family loaf, but we were apprehensive. A Sexton was not built for a tank-to—tank battle and the odds would certainly be against us if we actually had to engage in such an affair.
The weather was hot and sunny, with a clear blue sky, and our gun position was in a part of Normandy that would have been idyllic in more peaceful times. The countryside undulated with both high and low crests. The whole was made up of small fields and copses, bounded by narrow lanes, on top of which were thick hedges, so emphasizing a tunnel-like effect, especially in cloudy weather. The quiet country roads were mostly no more than lanes in between fields.
During the first few hours the situation around us was critical, as we expected at any moment to be attacked by tanks, or infantry, or both, but it did not prevent us from engaging in some quick, but intense, shoots.
At 1315 hrs, the Battery was ordered out of its anti—tank role, with the exception of the two right—hand guns that were facing up the lane towards Point 218. Minutes later, at 1325 hrs, the Battery Captain, Captain Peploe, located three Panzer Mk VI (Tiger) tanks nearby and engaged them with our guns firing high—explosive shells. Unfortunately, there was one casualty in this affray (Gunner Beardesley) who was wounded.
Around this time, the regimental despatch rider, came chugging down the lane towards us on his motorcycle. Heaven knows where he had been since his approach was directly from the enemy—held positions. He came to report that the lane seemed to be clear of the enemy (information that proved to be incorrect), but that he had spotted a burning Sexton belonging to some other unit beyond the crest in front of us, and he thought there were some wounded men lying out there.
We decided that the Sexton belonged to the Leicester Yeomanry of the Guards Armoured Division, who were known to be somewhere out on our left flank. For reasons that have always escaped both of us, Lieutenant John Alford and myself either volunteered, or were ordered, to investigate this situation, with a view to rendering some assistance to the wounded.
We were three abreast, shoulder to shoulder — I was in the middle, John on my left and the despatch rider on my right. Then I heard the crackle of a machine gun and the hissing and whistling of bullets. The despatch rider, close to my right shoulder, was hit in the head, killing him instantly. John and I instinctively jumped to our left towards the thick hedge (later reported to be impenetrable) that separated the field from the lane, and forced our way through it, landing in a heap at the foot of the earth bank. Breathlessly we took stock, relieved to discover that we had not been hit.

The Dublin Historical Society was formed in October 1974. Its purpose is to discover, collect and preserve documents and materials relevant to the history of Dublin and the surrounding area. It also encourages preservation of historic sites and a study of local history.
The Society displays many of these materials at the Fletcher Coffman Homestead, adjacent to Coffman Park, serving as Dublin's museum. Further, the Society plays a role to identify, mark and encourage preservation of historic sites and buildings in and around Dublin. Additionally, the Society encourages study of and an appreciation for Dublin history.
We encourage everyone to walk through the Historic District to begin to gain an appreciation for what life might have been like in a simpler time when only 100 or so families called Dublin "home". Shops and homes were side-by-side, wide streets accommodated horses and wagons. Nearby quarries along the river supplied stone for buildings and fences and gravel for roads. "Everyone knew one another and everyone knew everyone else's dog," as one lifelong resident put it.
Even today, a visitor can walk to the Dublin Spring alongside the Scioto River where Benjamin and Peter Sells would have drawn drinking water for their campsite on the high ground just above as they decided this would be the place to bring their father, brothers and the rest of the family for a settlement. And you can see this spring even today as you retrace those steps in Dublin's history.

When developing an RTOS based application it is important to be able to validate whether the different threads are active when they should. In order to do so, AVIX offers Thread Activation Tracing. Thread Activation Tracing is a mechanism allowing to show the activation of threads on a Logic Analyzer. Doing so provides a graphical overview of the scheduling. This graphical overview provides such a level of insight in the scheduling process that it is not only usable for validation but also proves to be very valuable for training people to work with an RTOS. Thread Activation Tracing provides unprecedented insight in the activities going on in the core of the scheduler, turning the black box of RTOS based development white. Thread Activation Tracing is built into the core of AVIX, whenever a thread is activated or deactivated, this is shown on the trace output. This is much more accurate than application level tracing where trace statements are added to the application code. Also the AVIX mechanism comes without the performance penalty introduced by application level tracing.
Thread Activation Tracing shows a graph on a logic analyzer consisting of multiple lines. Each line corresponds with a thread. When the line is high, the corresponding thread is active, when low it is not. For development environments having port level tracing available in the simulator, this mechanism can be used in the simulator also. On silicon, use can be made of a Logic Analyzer. For both scenarios a sample is shown in the figures below.
The picture to the left shows a screen dump of a LogicPort USB Logic Analyzer connected to an Explorer16 development board running an AVIX based application. Using Thread Activation Tracing with a hardware based system and a real Logic Analyzer offers unprecedented possibilities for testing. With the Logic Analyzer trigger facilities numerous timing aspects of your AVIX based system can be tested and triggered upon when the predetermined situation occurs.
AVIX for PIC32MX and AVIX for PIC24-dsPIC use the MPLAB development environment. The MPLAB screen dump to the right shows a sample of an application running in the MPLAB simulator consisting of four threads.
RR_Thread1, 2 and 3 are threads running at the same priority and thus scheduled in a round robin fashion. Thread HP_Thread has a higher priority and wakes up periodically preempting whatever thread is running at that moment since it has the highest priority.
With the AVIX tracing you can exactly see what is going on and whether or not the threads behave as intended.
Thread Activation Tracing works by assigning a digital I/O port to a thread. Any available I/O port can be assigned to any desirable thread, even to the idle thread. The code below shows a sample. The selected I/O ports are connected to a Logic Analyzer. After this, all you have to do is run your program and watch the activation diagram show up on the logic analyzer.
tavixThreadId threadId; threadId = avixThread_Create(NULL, threadFunc, NULL, 1, 100, AVIX_THREAD_READY); avixThread_SetTracePort(threadId, AVIX_TRACE_PORT_D, 1);
Thread Activation Tracing is build right into the very core of AVIX and is always available. You do not need a special version of AVIX or create a specific build. When you use AVIX you can use Thread Activation Tracing. It can be used during development for testing or in the end product for fault searching. Although Thread Activation Tracing is and stays present in AVIX, you can decide to create a build of your software disabling the function calls assigning a Trace Port to a thread. You can decide to do so for instance when program size should be as small as possible.
Thread Activation tracing consumes ~6 CPU cycles when a context switch is made from one thread to another. These cycles are part of the regular scheduling which, including Thread Activation Tracing, consumes below 100 CPU cycles. Most competing products (not offering Thread Activation Tracing) already consume >>100 CPU cycles for a context switch so whether you look at it as an absolute figure or a relative figure, it is valid to state Thread Activation Tracing does not influence performance. The mentioned cycles are always consumed, whether you create a build with or without Thread Activation Tracing. In a build without Thread Activation Tracing, the mechanism executes a dummy operation consuming the same amount of cycles. Doing so, the timing behavior of your system is exactly the same, with or without Thread Activation Tracing meaning the validation results you obtained using the mechanism are 100% valid when in a later stage of your development you decide to not longer use the tracing.

We won't have Jesse Ventura to kick around any longer.
That's what the politically nonconforming Minnesota governor let the news media know last month when he announced that he wasn't going to seek another term of office.
Ventura, the iconoclastic Reform Party candidate who turned Minnesota's prosaic politics upside down in 1998, said he was tired of the news media scrutinizing his family.
"It's fine when they stick to the issues, but when they start getting personal, going after your kids, it's very unfair," Ventura said.
Criticism of "media jackals" is a familiar refrain for the former U.S. Navy SEAL and professional wrestler. He's repeatedly blasted the news media for everything from misquoting him to biased reporting and fishing without a license.
It's unfortunate that the news media is being blamed for Ventura's withdrawal from politics, because it was that very same media that helped put him in the governor's mansion in the first place.
Sure, Jesse shook a lot of hands and kissed a lot of babies (or was that shook a lot of babies and kissed a lot of hands? Whatever …), but it was those packs of ravening media jackals that brought that unconventional political candidate into the hearts and minds of Minnesotans four years ago.
Jesse Ventura didn't have either of the big two political parties behind him, nor did he have fistfuls of cash, platoons of public relations personnel or an established good old boy network to put out the word about his suitability for office.
He did, however, have the media jackals and, like them or not, they're pretty good at letting people know about political candidates. That doesn't mean the news media promotes political candidates. They just inform potential voters about them.
And anytime you've got an outspoken ex-Navy SEAL who just doesn't give a damn about the established political order, you've got a story that practically writes itself – particularly when the voters are as fed up with politics as the candidate.
Unfortunately, media jackals don't simply slink off into the shadows after each election. They hang around and report on what successful candidates are doing – or not doing – for their constituents, and that's apparently what led Gov. Ventura to throw in the towel.
Don't despair, though. I think Jesse's got some life in him yet and, although he's kissing Minnesota politics good-bye, there are lots and lots of other places he may fit in.
California, for example.
Sure, this year's race for governor will end with a sigh of ennui from California voters a few months from now. No matter which graduate of the Daisy Hill Weasel Farm voters choose, they're going to be disappointed after about three days.
That gives Jesse Ventura plenty of time to establish residency in some place like Oxnard, shake a few babies and let the media jackals know that he's in town. He'll be tan and fit and on the ballot for 2006.
Are you ready for Gov. Ventura? I know I am. I just hope he issues some cool "Media Jackal" press credentials when he takes office in Sacramento four years from now …

3 - 6 December 2019, St. Petersburg, Russia
ICCX Russia 2019: a sign of growth
Infrastructure, residential construction and "smart cities" – these are three areas that the Russian government intends to systematically expand in the coming years. The concrete and precast concrete industry can also benefit from planned government and private investments worth billions. If you want to know what is happening in the industry in Russia and the CIS countries, the ICCX Russia in St. Petersburg is the right place for you. The trade conference and trade fair is the most important event for the industry in the region and a fixed date in the calendar of manufacturers and suppliers. With a well-founded lecture programme, an exhibition with more than one hundred international suppliers and a supporting programme with exclusive factory visits, the ICCX Russia offers concentrated specialist information and an intensive exchange of opinions, exclusively among concrete experts.
There are signs that more state and private investment will flow into the Russian construction industry again in the coming years and that the construction sector will grow accordingly: The Russian government is planning comprehensive programmes to expand infrastructure, residential construction and so-called "smart cities", i.e. technically advanced, efficient and ecologically sustainable cities.
Save the dates – 3rd–6th December 2019 – in your diary now!
For example, according to the "Plan for the Modernisation and Expansion of Infrastructure" adopted at the end of 2018, 6.3 bill. roubles will be invested in transport and energy infrastructure by 2024 (at the exchange rate at the beginning of August 2019 this corresponds to around 96.5 billion US dollars or 87 billion euros). The plan includes numerous modernisation projects, including port, airport, road, water and rail modernisation.
In addition, the Russian Ministry of Construction is currently working out a strategy for the development of the construction industry up to the year 2030. The aim is to strengthen competitiveness and technological development.
All of this also opens up new opportunities for international suppliers and the local concrete and precast concrete industry.
Video Review ICCX Russia 2019
ICCX Academy
The ICCX Academy will kick off the four-day ICCX Russia 2019 on the first day of the event. In the seminar, Michael Khrapko, New Zealand, will discuss the importance of concrete quality for the finished concrete or precast concrete structure. He shows that environmental conditions also play an important role and must be taken into account if the desired concrete properties are to be achieved.
Know-how from all over the world
The developments and perspectives of the construction industry and the concrete and precast concrete industry in particular will also be a topic at the ICCX Russia 2019. In any case, the programme of the leading industry event creates the right context for this - starting with the lecture programme, which picks up on current developments:
Prof. Vyacheslav Falikman from the Scientific A. A. Gvosdev Research and Planning Institute for Concrete and Reinforced Concrete (NIIZhB) in Moscow talks among other things about so-called "Smart Concretes", i.e. intelligent concretes that meet the demands of our time, be it increasing the durability or strengthening the ecological sustainability of structural elements and buildings. Ricardo Remus, Managing Director of the German company Sonocrete GmbH, presents the method of concrete hardening by means of ultrasound which he co-developed.
In a double lecture Mark Gilliland and Mark Magill from the Irish precast concrete company Creagh Concrete will discuss the advantages of precast concrete construction and in particular of precast concrete façades.
In turn, Efe Ikponmwosa points out investment opportunities for the Russian construction industry in a foreign market, namely Nigeria. The professor at the Nigerian University of Lagos will give his lecture under the motto "Challenges and opportunities for precast concrete construction in Nigeria and how Russia can contribute".
First aerated concrete session
An innovation in the ICCX Russia programme is the aerated concrete session, which will take place for the first time this year. The organiser is thus responding to the demand for know-how in aerated concrete production.
On the third day of the event, 5 December, speakers from science, industry and associations will speak about developments and trends on the Russian and international aerated concrete markets. Gleb Greenfeld, Managing Director of the "Russian Association of Aerated Concrete Manufacturers", will take a close look at the situation on the Russian market for aerated concrete products and present development perspectives. Prof. Margarita Kaftayeva then talks about possible damage to aerated concrete products and how to prevent it.
Four factory visits, …
The ICCX Russia is rounded off by the supporting programme. This year the participants are spoilt for choice between four factory visits: "Lider Prom" in Yanino, the precast concrete plant of the leading Northern Russian construction group "Lider Group", has already supplied all the precast elements required for numerous residential, commercial and infrastructure projects in the St. Petersburg region, from the sandwich wall to the hollow-core ceiling to the girder and column.
The "Murinskiy" construction company in Murino also has a powerful concrete, structural precast concrete elements and concrete products division. "Murinskiy" produces structural precast elements such as walls, ceilings and wall blocks as well as concrete products such as paving stones and kerbstones. The manufacturer's machinery and plants include equipment from leading European manufacturers, including Echo Precast Engineering, Galanos, Technocom and Simem, Sal-Product, Poyatos and Kübat.
"Zemsys" in Kolpino produces high-quality pavers in various colours, with a wide variety of surfaces and for many technical applications, as well as kerbstones and hollow blocks for garden construction, landscaping and building construction. The company produces fully automated with a line from Hess and, according to its own information, is one of the largest concrete product manufacturers in the northwest region of Russia.
Finally, there will also be an excursion for aerated concrete manufacturers. It guides the participants through the production halls of the aerated concrete plant in Kikerino near St. Petersburg, which until recently belonged to the H + H Group.
...a Paulaner evening
Despite all the lectures, expert discussions and excursions - it is also clear that many of the best talks take place in a relaxed, personal atmosphere, for example at the festive evening on the second day of the event in the Paulaner restaurant of the Park Inn Pulkovskaya conference hotel. Good food, beer from the hotel's own brewery and rousing dance music from the three front women of the proven "FM Show" band provide the right setting.

We are all aware that there are different types of strenght: strenght of character, strenght of spirit, physical strenght and many other manifestations of that sheer determination that drives us forward when a sane person would run and hide. There are so many heroines I've admired over the years, so many that have stayed with me long enough to teach me a valuable lesson. They've all been protagonists of their own stories and not just props or secondary characters who never get the recognition they deserve. It would be impossible for me to honor them all in this short post, but I'd like to mention at least the most important ones, including what they taught me.
7. Temple (The Reapers Are the Angels by Alden Bell) was left all alone in a zombie-infested world as no more than a little girl. She suffered unimaginable losses and pain, but she somehow fought through it all, hunger, death and constant danger, and built herself into a 15-year-old wise well beyond her years. She taught me that we can survive everything, live a good life against all odds and somehow mantain integrity and honor even when the world has very different priorities.
"Beyond the pursuit of meaning and beyond good and evil too, she says. See, it's a daily chore tryin to do the right thing. Not because the right thing is hard to do—it ain't. It's just cause the right thing—well, the right thing's got a way of eluding you. You give me a compass that tells good from bad, and boy I'll be a soldier of the righteous truth. But them two things are a slippery business, and tellin them apart might as well be a blind man's guess."
"...the heart is a muscle like any other. Tearing it down is the only way to make it stronger."
5. For Josie Moraine (Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys), being someone different from who she was born to be was always a matter of survival. All she ever wanted was to be normal, to be able to live and learn like everyone else, without her mother's constant malicious meddling. Josie's voice was clear as bell, and she spoke to me until her problems became my problems and her heartache my heartache as well. She taught me that you can overcome your upbringing and that there's nothing wrong with being just like everybody else.
"What do you do with all this bank, Josie? Be a lot easier if you just lifted your skirt."
"The only reason I'd lift my skirt is to pull out my pistol and plug you in the head."
"My mother always said that I was born out of a bottle of vinegar instead of born from a womb and that she and my father bathed me in sugar for three days to wash it off. I try to behave, but I always go back to the vinegar." - Puck Connolly
There are, of course, many more heroines worth mentioning, like Sirantha Jax, Katsa, Seraphina or Scarlett O'Hara, but these are the ladies I carry in my heart and mind always.
Which heroine do you admire the most? Is there a specific lesson you learned from her?

The Facts about Buying Patio Doors
A patio door offers simple access in and out of the backyard while allowing beautiful nuances of light to shine on the walls and floors of the home. Although, previously they allowed for heat to seep out of the house, water to leak in, and possible burglaries, advances in technology have successfully eliminated all of those negative elements. Materials utilized to create these doors now include energy efficient door frames and pane glass, and the structural components that involve multi point lock mechanisms for optimal security. The patio door can be quite complicated to buy due to the countless options available, but there are ways to narrow down this decision.
One way to narrow the decision of purchasing Patio Doors is by choosing the type of door to purchase. Sliding patio doors allow generous amounts of light to shine into the home and don't interfere with furniture placement or walking areas. They slide back and forth along the walls as opposed to swinging out. Swinging patio doors also offer plenty of light into the interior of the home, but they swing out on a hinge as opposed to sliding. Their appearance is akin to butterfly wings when they are opened. Folding patio doors utilize an accordion-style mechanism to operate, as each section methodically folds away. All of these doors are great options that are offered in various material types.
The different material options are: fibreglass, aluminum, steel, vinyl, wood, and clad wood. Fibreglass is designed to replicate natural wood in its appearance, it's designed with the bonus of being built to withstand the elements. Aluminum and steel are more fairly priced than wood, are resistant to corrosion and handle most weather conditions with ease. Vinyl is known for its resilience, superiority in energy efficiency and durability; it will never flake or rot. Wood perhaps has the most unique appearance and several varieties to choose from that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Clad wood offers the beauty of natural or treated wood with the added protection of metal to help withstand the elements.
Patio Doors can be purchased at hardware stores or from door installation companies that can help walk customers through the process. These stores and companies also provide special offers such as "Get your FREE estimate" promotions. Purchasing energy efficient doors is a cost efficient option that can actually pay for itself throughout the years.

Facebook talks about Open Compute's open source switch project
Facebook execs Frank Frankovsky and Najam Ahmad discuss why Open Compute is designing a switch that's open source.
Facebook has expanded the scope of its Open Compute Project to include networking. The plan to create a specification for a top-of-rack open source switch kicked off at the first-ever Open Compute Engineering Summit at MIT in mid-May.
Open Compute has provided design specs for open source servers, storage, racks and other data center peripherals for massive data centers like Facebook's. Now Facebook is trying to crack open the black box world of networking with an open source switch designed to allow data centers to run any switch operating system on any Open Compute switch. Facebook's Frank Frankovsky, vice president of hardware design and supply chain operations, and Najam Ahmad, director of technical operations, spoke with TechTarget about the Open Compute switch project. Ahmad is the technical lead for the project and led the first engineering summit for the switch project.
It dawned on us that we are building these massively scaled data centers in large part out of open source software and hardware, but the way we're connecting them to each other and to the Internet is still through a very closed and proprietary switched network.
Frank Frankovsky,
vice president of hardware design and supply chain operations, Facebook
Facebook's vision for an open source switch also has implications for the software-defined networking [SDN] industry. To learn how this project affects SDN, read part two of this Q&A.
First off, why is the Open Compute Project designing an open source switch?
Frank Frankovsky: We started to see a lot of cool technology contributions and derivative works that are coming out of applying open source principles to the hardware space. It dawned on us that we are building these massively scaled data centers in large part out of open source software and hardware, but the way we're connecting them to each other and to the Internet is still through a very closed and proprietary switched network. So, part of it was just in the hopes that we would see the same kind of rapid progress on switch technologies that we've seen just in our first few years of applying open source principles to the server and storage space.
Second, the ability to treat the switch hardware separately from switch software is a real critical component of this, so that customers can have flexibility and choice in how they deploy the hardware. In our view [the switch] should be just another server in the rack that shows up with no operating system on it. It should have the pre-boot environment and you can boot it to any operating system of your choice. And furthermore, you can modify the code that runs on it.
[Facebook Director of Technical Operations] Najam [Ahmad] and many others involved in this project are pretty passionate about being able get much more granular control and much more granular insight into what's happening at the physical switch layer. Today, because switches are distributed as a black box appliance, the end user is abstracted from what's actually happening at the physical layer. By applying these principles of open source and giving customers full control over the hardware and the software modules that run on it, we're going to be able to deliver that promise to the customer of being able to tightly control how they design, build, monitor and optimize their networks.
What sort of contribution are you looking for from the software community?
Najam Ahmad: We're still working through the specifics. We had a really great working session at the OCP Engineering Summit in Boston. We're working on our charter, and especially what this would look like. At minimum, we're looking for the low-level driver/boot loader-type software base that will be part of the package of the specification, the idea being that the switch itself boots up and it's essentially able to look for an operating system in different locations or discover a URL and things of that nature. We're not talking about putting an operating system on it, but talking about the switch being able to boot up in any operating system -- essentially disaggregating the hardware and the software.
To do that, you still need that software at the low level. If you compare that to [a] server or PC, there's the BIOS that does the hardware checking. Then it looks for a boot loader or OS to boot on. So, I think the initial consensus is towards that. Then you could run software from OpenDaylight or Cumulus or any of the traditional OEMs, or your open source, OpenStack-type environments.
Do you have specific original design manufacturers or OEMs in mind that you want to work with?
Frankovsky: The way we've typically seen these projects take shape, we have suppliers and customers that approach the foundation to become involved in the project. And many of the traditional suppliers -- Cisco, Broadcom -- are in the process of approaching us -- and they even attended first meeting Najam held last week.
Everyone starts to make proposals around how to shape the project. And then it's really up [to] the community to vote on what direction they want to take the project. I think we're going end up with a lot of great technology contributions, but at the end of the day, it's a consumer-led voting process, not a supplier-led voting process. That's why we're pretty bullish that we're going to have some pretty awesome results here. We've worked really hard within Open Compute to make sure it maintains a very customer-led focus. A lot of the vendor-led consortiums tend to stall because each of them have their own commercial interest in the project and they tend to vote things in the direction of their particular company, as opposed to voting things in favor of the consumer.
Ahmad: We already have several proposals [from vendors].
Are those proposals public?
Ahmad: They'll be on the website at some point.
I'm just curious if you're getting proposals from those OEMs that have had those black box systems, like Cisco.
Ahmad: I think the OEMs are still sort of figuring this out. And to be fair, we didn't have a specific charter. Vendors who took the initiative have said, 'Hey, what about this?' As we get the charter published, I'm sure we'll have more.
Do you envision Cisco allowing IOS or NX-OS to run on such an open source switch?
Ahmad: That's the choice [we want to offer]. What we're after, first, is disaggregation of hardware and software and, second, the ability to have choice in that. Once you have the choice, then you can run whatever you're comfortable with. And depending on a lot of other factors, you can run additional operating systems, additional protocol sets. You can run more SDN-oriented technology. You can make it an OpenFlow switch. Options are what we're after.
Other companies that operate at your scale -- Google and Amazon -- have built their own switches but kept their designs secret and proprietary. Why is Facebook opening this up? What are your intentions?
Frankovsky: History has proven in the software space that the pace of innovation moved forward a lot faster once open source principles and frameworks for these projects were put in place. And the types of features and control that customers can take over the software really accelerated the pace of innovation.
The reason that we choose to be open versus closed -- like some of our peers -- is we really believe that when you give one thing you get 10 things back. We don't know what those 10 things are going to be, but we've been pretty pleasantly surprised so far with some of the derivative works and the contributions that come back.

Then Facebook can take advantage [of the community innovation], because even though we do [a] great job recruiting some of the best engineers in the world, we don't have all the best engineers under one roof. Neither does Google, and neither does Amazon, Cisco, Intel or any one company.
Ahmad: On the network side, what we're after is the disaggregation that we're trying push the industry toward. If you look at how you buy switches, if you look any glossy [spec sheet] of a switch, it's hardware specs, ports, speeds and feeds, and then software features. You can't just buy a switch that meets your specific needs in hardware and software.
And it's almost as important to worry about what's on the switch as what is not on the switch. Today if you buy an OEM switch, they have to cater to a pretty broad market with lots of different verticals that have their own requirements and feature sets. For example, we don't run any Layer 2 in our environment, but the switches we get will have Layer 2 on them. Those are software resources you burn. It's about the chances of bugs you're taking, and things of that nature. So, we want to have a very specific integration that is tailored to our environment, and you can't do that in a very vertically integrated package that you buy off the shelf. It's giving the user base options to pick and choose what's relevant for them, and have the industry think about that as well, and build network devices in that manner.

Cosmetologists provide a wide range of services to their clients, including treating the skin, hair and nails. According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately half of the cosmetologists in the U.S. are employed in spas or beauty salons, while the other half are self-employed as of 2010. The method that cosmetologists must use to file their taxes depends solely on the type of payment. If you're paid a paycheck and your client withholds income taxes and controls your work environment, you are considered an employee; however, if your client does not withhold income taxes and you can control the work environment, you're a self-employed taxpayer.
Step 1
Gather your income records and tax forms. If you're an employee, you will receive Form W-2 from your employer at the end of the year. To file income taxes, you must use Form 1040-EZ, Form 1040A or Form 1040, depending on your financial situation. For more information on which form is appropriate for you, refer to the IRS Tax Topic 352.
Step 2
Gather your expense records. As an employee, you can deduct any unreimbursed expense that is necessary or helpful for conducting business in your trade if you decide to itemize your deductions. Examples of qualifying unreimbursed employee expenses for a cosmetologist include hair supplies, uniforms and manicure utensils.
Step 3
Prepare your income taxes using Form 1040-EZ, 1040A or 1040. Report all income listed on Form W-2 in the Income section of the form. If you opt to itemize your deductions, you must use Form 1040 and Schedule A.
Step 1
Gather your income records and tax forms. All clients that paid you more than $600 should send you Form 1099-MISC at the end of the year. For all other income, gather your bank statements or any financial records that provide information on income earned throughout the year. To file your income taxes as a self-employed taxpayer, you must use Form 1040.
Step 2
Gather your expense records. As a self-employed taxpayer, you can deduct any expense incurred while you earned self-employed income. Examples of expenses that you can claim include utilities, office equipment, rent, insurance, and license fees. If you operate a cosmetology business out of your home, you can also deduct some of your home expenses. For more information, refer to IRS Publication 587.
Step 3
Prepare your income taxes using Form 1040. Use Schedule C to report your self-employed income and expenses. Because a self-employed cosmetologist does not have an employee to withhold and pay Social Security and Medicare taxes, self-employed taxpayers must also prepare Schedule SE to determine the tax. The Social Security and Medicare tax for a self-employed taxpayer is called the Self-Employment tax.
- If you are an employee and self-employed, you must file Form 1040 as a self-employed taxpayer. Report the income on Form W-2 in the Income section of the form and all self-employed income on Schedule C.
