Regional Centre on Urban Water Management (RCUWM-Tehran) has been established under the auspices of UNESCO since 2002 in Tehran-Iran. It is associated with UNESCO through formal agreement approved by the UNESCO General Conference.
The agreement between the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) regarding RCUWM has been recently renewed, signed and exchanged for its third period of activities as for 2018-2023.
RCUWM contributes to water-related projects of UNESCO's strategic programme by capacity building, knowledge sharing and research at international and regional levels.
RCUWM is guided and overseen by its Governing Board (GB) as the most important decision making constituent at the highest level according to the agreement. The Centre's GB member states were Ministers from Iran (Chair), Afghanistan, Armenia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, Germany, India, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Syria, Tajikistan and Yemen as well as UNESCO Director General during the period of 2002-2017.
This centre was officially inaugurated in February 2002, by an agreement signed and exchanged between I.R. Iran and UNESCO.
UNESCO requires that Category 2 water-related Centres undergo periodic reviews. The main objectives of these reviews are to assess the Centres' performance with respect to their terms of reference and contributions to the UNESCO mandate (Feb. 07, 2016). The outcome of the review is a decision on whether the agreement between UNESCO and the host government should be renewed.
After the latest evaluation by a group of independent experts, the agreement between the government of Islamic Republic of Iran and UNESCO concerning the establishment and operation of Regional Centre on Urban Water Management, has been signed and extended in May 2018.
- To promote scientific research on the issues and problems related to UWM of the region.
- To create and reinforce networks for the exchange of scientific, technical and policy information on urban water issues among the institutions and individuals in the region and in other countries.
- To develop and coordinate cooperative research activities on urban water management issues, taking advantage particularly of the installed scientific and professional capacity of the region and of the relevant UNESCO-IHP networks and non-governmental organizations.
- To organize knowledge and information transfer activities on the subject, including international training courses, symposia or workshops, and to engage in appropriate awareness raising activities.
- To develop a strong program of information and communication technology to further the Centre's objectives.
- To provide technical consulting and advisory services in the region and beyond as required.
- To produce technical publications and other media items related to the activities of the Centre
- Providing support to joint research and technology transfer projects;
- Conducting training courses and capacity building events at various levels;
- Partnership and networking at the regional and international levels
In February 2002, the Regional Centre on Urban Water Management – Tehran was inaugurated formally at the ceremony by the attendance of about 200 people from different international organisations, ambassadors of the states in the region, members of parliament, senior managers and directors from national organisations and ministries, university professors, senior managers from private sector and NGOs. At this magnificent ceremony, the agreement between the Government of Islamic Republic of Iran and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation was signed by H.E. Mr. Bitaraf, Minister of Energy on behalf of Government of I.R. Iran and H.E. Mr. Matsuura, Director General of UNESCO.

Discussion in 'Pop & Justice' started by Lander, Aug 12, 2017.
They did along with Realiti chopped off the vinyl.
She's probably trying to make some blood-infused vinyl that opens up a portal to the netherworld when exposed to sunlight
Violence is ok, but Crystal Castles/Alice Glass did it 10 years ago.
I didn't realise sis was 31???? Whew. Violence is a banger too "<3"
The album is allegedly out there.
She's going to scrap it all now isn't she?
I can't do this.
Allegedly it's an unmastered version that leaked through Sony ATV. Let's hope we get a rush-release ASAP and she can put her bundles/vinyl/cd up for pre-order.
Yeah, it's clearly unmastered. Hopefully she drops it on streaming quickly.
The first thing I thought of when I read about the leak on here:
That's awkward. Did her Google Drive account got hacked or something? I haven't seen a non-finished album leak in a long time.
I feel kind of sorry for her. This is the messiest album-roll out ever.
Damn, the endless clownery and delays came back to bite her with this leak. Sigh.
Well maybe she should've released it sooner. I don't have much sympathy when artists sit on albums for months on end and are then surprised and annoyed when it inevitably leaks.
I mean.. I know she's a tool these days but I don't really see how that justifies having your work stolen and leaked unfinished/early. Especially when she was advised to hold it back just so they could get the CD's + Vinyl pressed and ready to go instead of just putting it out. If anything it could jeopardise what we end up getting.
I think circumstances (like her manager passing away, etc.) made that impossible.
Though I think constantly mentioning the albums for the last years didnt really help.
But as mentioned nothing justifies an album getting leaked.
The "delay" is perfectly understandable this time. Lana said she had to do the same thing for Norman Fucking Rockwell per the labels advice to have physicals ready to go as she/they knew her audience would buy them during release week. The album was turned in back in May.
I didn't say it justifies it being leaked, I just said I don't have that much sympathy.
Its just...not in her own control to decide when it actually gets released.
The drama with her label started years ago.
+ She hasn´t even reacted "surprised and annoyed" yet... (allthough it is more than understandable to react devasted when the album youve worked on over years gets released in unfinished form)
Edit: since the leak does not include "delete forever" this might not be the final incarnation of the album.
What if she leaked it herself.
Separate names with a comma.

Today is the 'International Chess Day'! It's a special day for India as Chess is one of the Valuable blessings of India to the world. Only two days prior, Indian chess got its 64th Grandmaster, a representative day as the chess block is made of 64 squares.
In the 1980s, a virtuoso named Vishwanathan Anand arrives on the chess scene and changed the scene of Indian chess until the end of time! Anand turned into a Grandmaster in 1987 and after 32 years Prithu Gupta from Delhi turned into the 64th Grandmaster!
'Chaturanga' in India:
The root of the present institutionalized chess is found in 'Chaturanga' – a technique game played in India in the medieval time. Despite the fact that the starting point of chaturanga has been a riddle for quite a long time, Chaturanga is first known from the Gupta Empire in India around the sixth century AD.
The Sanskrit word 'Chaturanga' actually signifies 'having four limbs or parts' and in epic verse frequently signifies 'armed force'. Students of history accept that the name originates from a fight development referenced in the Indian epic Mahabharata, alluding to four divisions of a military, specifically elephantry, chariotry, rangers, and infantry.
These structures are spoken to by the pieces that would develop into the cutting edge pawn, knight, religious administrator, and rook, separately. An antiquated fight development, akshauhini, resembles the arrangement of chaturanga. Chaturanga was played on an 8×8 uncheckered board, called ashtāpada.
In the seventh century, Chaturanga was received as Chatrang (shatranj) in Sassanid Persia, which thus was the type of chess brought to late-medieval Europe. Current chess itself is called Shatranj in Arabic, and the bishop is called the elephant.
As indicated by antiquarians, from India, the game spread to Persia. At the point when the Arabs vanquished Persia, chess was taken up by the Muslim world and in this manner spread to Southern Europe. In Europe, chess advanced into generally its present structure in the fifteenth century.
Chess in the Modern Era:
The first modern chess competition was held in London in 1851. The first World Chess Championship was held in 1886. The twentieth century saw incredible jumps forward in chess hypothesis and the foundation of the World Chess Federation (FIDE). Improvements in the 21st century incorporate the utilization of PCs for examination, which started during the 1970s with the first customized chess games available. Online gaming showed up in the mid-1990s.
A 2012 review found that chess players currently make up perhaps the biggest network in the world: 605 million grown-ups play chess routinely. Chess is played at any rate once every year by 12% of British individuals, 15% of Americans, 23% of Germans, 43% of Russians, and 70% of Indian individuals. Universal Chess Day is commended by the World Chess Federation (FIDE) since 1966 to remember the date of FIDE foundation on the twentieth July 1924 in Paris.
Importance of Chess:
Chess is one of the most regarded games crosswise over practically all cutting edge human societies. it's a round of unadulterated human mental capacity. It's an approach to quantify and look at psychological capacities crosswise over individuals and societies. Chess, however, doesn't require any physical aptitude, is a mind sharpener game. It shows us the outcomes of the activity. It shows us how to recuperate when any move turns out badly. Chess supports focus and basic leadership and creates critical thinking ability with 'keeping calm'.
It's a great game for improving key reasoning and persistence. Additionally, chess is a game that hasn't (to this date) been "illuminated." Games like Tic-Tac-Toe are effectively fathomed and somebody who realizes what they are doing can undoubtedly drive success or a draw. Chess isn't that way. In each and every chess game, there are outlandishly numerous conceivable outcomes of places that can emerge, making it one of the most interesting games in the world!

You do not need to be provided for a previous conviction in a criminal case. Your Washington State criminal conviction can be removed if you meet the criteria. And after your conviction will be removed, the Washington State law allows you to declare that you have not been convicted for employment.
Exemption – is often misunderstood term and process. In Washington state, squeezing a criminal record or criminal record shall be effected by the release of a criminal prosecution. Dates and Expungement Vacating largely interchangeable, the difference lies in the fact that the holidays with & # 39 is the legal term.
Removing a criminal record by removing a criminal record does not exclude and does not seal the case file. However, perhaps the destruction or removal of records of arrest if they met the requirements for participation. If the arrest record is deleted, photos and booking fingerprints are destroyed and removed from police records.
In Washington state, the process of liberation of the crime is different between criminal records and criminal convictions. The following 7 steps – this is an overview of what is due.
1. Required required period from the end of the proceedings.
The first requirement, which frees a criminal record in the state of Washington – is the transition period required. In case of violation of the offense, the time starts from the date of closing the case. Accused of committing a crime, the period starts from the date of submission to the court document, entitled "On the release." In both cases, the case is closed or is issued a certificate for release after all the conditions of the sentence as appropriate.
2. The conviction can be dissolved.
Some of the conviction and sentences of classification are not eligible for expulsion in the state of Washington. Typically, a Class A crime (most suras & # 39; serious), sex crimes and violent crimes can not be excluded in the state of Washington. Among the offenses province, Washington does not allow convict Dui.
3. You meet the requirements of pure conduct.
Two situations will make your confidence unfit for punishment. In case of infringement offenses, if you have been convicted of another crime at a later date, you could not rule out misconduct. For example, if you were convicted of a province in 1995 and another offense in 1997, the crime in 1995 would not be right to steal. In the case of a crime, if you are convicted of another crime after the date of submission of an exemption certificate, you can not release him from his crimes.
4. Specific rules for misconduct violation of the rules.
In Washington, there is an interesting rule that applies only to convictions for offenses. To release the offense of the crime, it would be impossible to judge others (released). What this means is that if a person has a criminal liability and criminal record for committing the rules, and people first liberated conviction from criminal responsibility, for it is a rule cease to be removed. However, when I first was traded for offense, and if a criminal record for the province was made to conviction, the offense can still be released.
5. Preparation.
Release or leave the sentence of the court requires the judge signing a court order. The trial begins with the filing of a petition for the release of the court. Prior to submission of the application you should get a copy of the document and the verdict and sentence in a court official. You should also get a report on the criminal history, called WATCH Report, Washington State website.
6. Your day in court.
Most of the Washington State courts requires a hearing for removal of criminal liability or release vacation. Most courts do not require you to be present, if you at the hearing with the & # 39; was a lawyer on your behalf. If training has been performed properly, the hearing should go very smoothly, and the judge sign a court order for the release of a criminal record.
7. Your criminal record is deleted.
The judicial officer handles the order and sends a certified copy of the state of Washington, which removes the criminal record of a public database. FBI record is updated based on the Washington State records. And if the order was prepared correctly, the copy will also be sent to the police department, which dealt with the case, and your post will also be cleaned in their submissions. Now you are doomed (released), and your criminal record removed.
As you can see, you do not have to be provided for a criminal record for criminal proceedings. Make conviction in Washington state is not difficult, if you meet the simple criteria. In most cases, these 7 steps it takes only a few weeks.

From handlebars to seat adjustment, our article covers the basics of making sure your bike fits you for a comfortable cycling experience.
A long-distance rider is seeking not speed, but endurance, and srems adjustable bicycle stems tend to avoid extreme effort, so as not to waste physical resources. Thus, the touring cyclist is likely to seek a more upright posture. Maxxis forekaster 29 cyclists age, their position preferences also are likely to change.
Similarly, a casual recreational cyclist or beginner cyclist is not likely to be comfortable with a low handlebar position. On the other hand, a cyclist who is looking for more efficiency in pedaling, and is becoming more physically fit, often will find that the specialized bikes stock position on a typical "comfort" bike or adjustable bicycle stems bike adjustable bicycle stems too high.
Aside from the aerodynamic issue, the gluteus muscles are fully contracted when the back is upright, and cannot contribute power. And if the handlebars are too close, steering may be difficult with one hand on the handlebar.
Hand position may also be adjusted through choice of handlebars, which is covered in another article on this adjustable bicycle stems. Most "road" bikes use threaded forks, and adjstable a stem that adjuztable inside of the fork's steering column. The stem will have a long bolt running down through the vertical part, connecting to a wedge at the bottom.
Tightening the bolt pulls up the wedge, and adjustable bicycle stems wedge jams against the inside of the steerer, securing the stem to the steering column.
Loosening up the bolt, usually with a 6 mm Allen wrench, may free up the wedge and allow you to move the stem in the steerer. Adjustable bicycle stems, loosening the bolt won't loosen the wedge, so you road shoe covers need to unscrew the bolt a bicylce turns and then give it a tap on top with a block of wood or a soft mallet.
Older stems used a conical "expander" nut, with a split quill shaft that would expand against the inside of the steerer, but the principle is the same. Once the stem is loose in the steerer, you can raise or lower it, and rotate it from side to side.
If you decide to raise it, it is important that you don't overdo it. If you raise the stem too high, so that there's not sufficient length remaining inside the steerer, you might find the whole handlebar assembly disconnecting from the bike--your life will pass before your adjustable bicycle stems and down fat bike street tires go!
Most stems have a "minimum insertion" mark that shows how high they may safely be set. adjustable bicycle stems
If you can see this mark, the stem is too adjustable bicycle stems. The quill of the stem and the bolt threads should be greased, to help prevent them from corroding together.
Removing and relubricating a stem yearly is a adjustable bicycle stems idea, especially if adjustabpe bicycle is ridden in wet weather. See Jobst Brandt's advice on stuck stems headlight for bike case you can't loosen the stem. Be careful not to overtighten a quill stem. Overtightening can bulge out the steerer, potentially leading to its breaking, or adjustable bicycle stems holding the stem securely.
Except in technical off-road riding, the hands apply only light torque to the handlebars.
If a bicycle has an older quill stem with a conical expander, it is normal to be yeti cyclocross bike to turn the handlebars with moderately strong hand force, when standing in front of the bicycle and holding the front wheel between the legs.
Turning adjustable bicycle stems handlebars will be more difficult if the stem has a wedge. The handlebars should be held securely with adjustable bicycle stems clamp-on stem, as the clamp also has to adjustaable them against dtems.
If in doubt, use a torque wrench and tighten to manufacturer's adjustable bicycle stems. If your bike currently has the stem lower buying a moutain bike you'd like, don't get your hopes up too high that you can just raise it--most bikes already have adjustable bicycle stems stem set to the max when they leave the shop.
If your bars adjustable bicycle stems too low, chances are you'll need to buy a new stem. There may be some spacer washers above or below the clamp-on "threadless" stem that could be re-arranged, but, generally, again, the stem is probably already as high up as it will go, with the spacers underneath it. Clamp-on stems are available in different lengths. In the course of trying to find a great deal on a kid's bike I came across a beautiful bike for her, a Marin Lucas Valley.
The price was right and I knew it would be good for her in the long run as she grew into it. The only problem was that it was just a bit too "long" for her. So what to do?
The answer was to install an adjustable stem, which would solve the only aspect of this bike that wasn't ideal for her. Your stem is the part adjustable bicycle stems the bike that attaches the handlebars to the fork.
It's a key part bicyclf your steering, and what channels your action on the handlebars into the front wheel being pointed in the direction you want to go. The size of a adjustable bicycle stems varies between bikes of course but in 700x23 vs 700x25 tires, adjustable bicycle stems usually about as long as the width of your hand.
There are vertical hash marks in a ring adjusstable the handlebar stem that indicate the maximum you can safely raise the stem.
adjustable bicycle stems If you have to raise the handlebars a lot, there may not be enough slack in your brake and shifter cables to raise the stem as much as you want, and you may, therefore, need to install new brake and shifter cables or have a bike shop do it for you. Remember earlier when we said our illustrated guy should raise his seat?
Making sure your baby bikes at target fits is of utmost importance in giving you power and comfort while riding. A woman who is rheumatic adjustable bicycle stems the hands and pelvis comes to my shop for a new bicycle.
She also told me she only rides up to 80 miles a year. I have a bike with 24 gears and hydraulic rim brakes, front- and saddlepost suspension bicyxle I think would adjustable bicycle stems good for her.
If the length of adjustable bicycle stems quill stem and the maximum insertion point does not allow you to get the handlebar high enough to your satisfaction, you bichcle replace the stem. You can find a quill stem with a longer neck or one that has an adjustable angle, or both.
The dry lube bike to choosing bicycel new stem is selecting one that is the correct size for your bike. The two measurements that are important are the steerer tube size and the handlebar clamp size.
The steerer tube is measured on the outside diameterbut where it can get adjustable bicycle stems is that the stem is sized to fit the inside of the steerer tube.
Handlebar clamp sizes bicycke either be Most mountain and hybrid bikes use adjustable bicycle stems Some modern mountain and bicycl bikes use a Instead of a new stem, you can also purchase a quill stem extender. This is basically a tube of metal that inserts into your steerer tube, and then your original stem inserts into the top of the extender.
Threadless stems are adjustable bicycle stems on most modern mountain and road bikes, and some mid-level and higher-end hybrid bikes. Like the trekking handlebar, adjustable bicycle stems syems need to get low to avoid a head wind, you stretch out to the number 3 position to lower your posture without having a drop bar.
Since the majority of touring is done mongoose bike tubes an upright position, the handlebar has about two or maybe 3 possible upright posture hand locations. Mustache bars will have a It makes a good touring handlebar if a drop style hand position is not needed.
You have plenty of hand positions for upright body posture, especially the hands near road shoes sale brake levers.
This adjustable bicycle stems is great for road riding on pavement and adjustable bicycle stems riding on good dirt and gravel roads where drop handlebars are useless. One modification that you can make to this handlebar is to add bar ends. This is shown in the photo on the right. The bar ends allow a more stretched out posture, similar biicycle the trekking handlebar.
My wrists are shot. Do adjustable bicycle stems konw where someone can find this type of handles or bar? Or find yourself a Dealer who sells bikes from the Netherlands, such as Gazelle. It is possible to rest your forearms on the straight part of the bar nearest the rider, and grip the forward, tilted up portions of the bar with your hands. It gives you a position that is very reminiscent of the early aero bars for roadbikes.
Best used adjustable bicycle stems on a straight stretch with adjustable bicycle stems, but on a long ride, all alternate grips are welcome. John, I have a 12 yr old boy who has one arm shorter than bike 28 inch other due to a birth defect.
His right arm is terminated at the elbow. I have searched high and low for any type of extension adjustable bicycle stems his handlebars but had never considered some of those listed above.
Can you suggest anything or any direction to explore. Thanks Scott.
A friend who had a cycling accident and now has a shortened arm, uses two different bars. He tells me that he had to get a new stem for one of them. Adjustable bicycle stems this is of help Scott.
News:Not only does the stem length affect the fit of the bike, but it plays a big role in how the you are looking for is most important when choosing the correct stem.

Here I offer the slides from today's PCT Update. Slide 8 talks about the July 1, 2019 rules change which I covered in this blog article.
I am providing some training material free of charge to the USPTO. The training material, which relates to PCT Declaration Number 4 under PCT Rule 4.17, is prompted by a mistake that a nameless person at the USPTO made in one of our cases today. Continue reading →

It has just now been announced that in just about 24 hours, Matthias Reischle-Park of WIPO will deliver a free-of-charge webinar entitled:
I have learned informally what some of the topics will be:
I gather it will last about an hour. My guess is that if you are a PCT enthusiast or power user, you should attend. I plan to attend.

Here are some things that might possibly get your subscription to our listservs (email discussion groups) working again.
This follows up on my earlier postings here and here and here.
(Update: See a followup message here about a step that you might take to try to get the listservs working for you again.)
For those who are following my travails trying to get ISPs to accept our listserv email messages now that we are on our dedicated server (original post and update) … this posting about "munging" may be of interest. Others are invited to skip this posting as being even more geeky than usual. Continue reading →
I am told that not very many applicants make use of the two Collaborative Search Pilot (CSP) programs at the USPTO. Each of the programs offers a fast-track way to get a strong patent. The more I think about CSP, the more I wonder why the programs get such little use. In this blog article I will describe the programs and I will offer my thoughts as to how an applicant might go about deciding whether or not to make use of the programs. Finally I will mention the actual numbers of times the two CSP programs have gotten used by applicants. Continue reading →
Every month or so, in recent years, we receive from the USPTO a Notice to File Corrected Application Papers (NTFCAP) in a recently filed patent application that says our drawings are not good enough. What we find to be frustrating and annoying about this is that invariably the application is a continuation or a divisional of an application in which the drawings were good enough. Today I filed a request to have such a Notice withdrawn. Here is what I wrote: Continue reading →
2020 is a leap year. What got me thinking about this is a sentence that I just wrote in an email message to instructing counsel in Turkey for a US case that our firm is handling:
We now have an Office Action and it is attached. To avoid abandonment a response must be made by February 29, 2020.
Which prompts a discourse on the inadequacy of integers. All but the most diehard blog readers are invited to skip the following. Continue reading →

(See also I turned on munging.)
(Updated to describe shipment of digital multimeters.)
Readers may recall my recent blog article about woes with outbound emails from our listserv server.
Alert listserv member Diane L. Gardner of Mastermind IP Law P.C. posted this comment to that blog article:
From my IT provider:
They do not have a spf record.
And her IT provider was absolutely right. I had not attended to setting up an SPF record on our new dedicated server. I ought to have done that sooner. Prompted by her posting, we added the SPF record. Here is the record:
v=spf1 +mx +a +ip4:18.104.22.168 ~all
We have sent two of our digital multimeters to Diane — one for her and one for her IT provider. Thanks to both of you!
We also corrected a PTR (reverse DNS lookup) record. The PTR record is "126.96.36.199.in-addr.arpa." pointing to "server1.oppedahl-lists.com.".
There's a chance these two changes might help a little.
We already had and still have a DKIM record. The DKIM record is "server1.oppedahl-lists.com." pointing to "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=[public key]".
Thanks again to the nice commenter.
(Update: See a followup message here about a step that you might take to try to get the listservs working for you again.)
(Here is an update.)
(See also "I turned on munging".)
Oppedahl Patent Law Firm LLC sponsors a dozen listservs (email discussion communities) free of charge for the intellectual property community. If you are a subscriber to one or more of the listservs, and if you have stopped receiving the postings, read on.
You can see many of the listservs here. The email discussion communities sponsored free of charge by OPLF include:
On about November 17, we migrated the listservs from "shared hosting" at our hosting provider to "dedicated hosting". In the old system, our outbound listserv traffic was commingled with that of the many other customers of our hosting provider who were also being hosted on the particular server that was our "shared server". (In case it is of interest to you, our traffic came out from IP address 18.104.22.168.) But starting on about November 17, our outbound listserv traffic came out all by itself, not commingled with anybody else's traffic, from our dedicated server. (In case it is of interest, our traffic now comes out from IP address 22.214.171.124.)
The volume of our outbound email traffic is no greater than before, and the nature and type of our traffic is unchanged from what it was before. But instead of being commingled with outbound email traffic from other entities unrelated to OPLF, it now comes out from an IP address that is not the source of email from anybody other than OPLF.
And starting on about November 18, several email service providers, among them Google, have been randomly blocking lots of our email traffic.
As best I can see, the service providers use some poorly designed AI algorithm. The algorithm notices that email traffic is arriving from a new IP address, and the algorithm notices that multiple email messages from this new IP address have identical content, and then the algorithm in a very mindless way decides to block random messages that arrives from that IP address.
If the decision whether or not to block randomly selected emails were made by an actual human being, things would be different. The human being would see the multiple identical email messages being a very dry discussion of some obscure aspect of the Patent Cooperation Treaty or the Madrid Protocol or the Hague Agreement and would realize that this is not a sales pitch for a cream for dissolving skin moles or a proposal of a way to spirit ten million dollars out of a bank in Nigeria. The human being would notice that each of the listserv messages has an "unsubscribe" link and is emitted from a "Mailman" software system that ensures that email postings only get sent to people who have actually subscribed to the listserv.
But it is clear that these decisions, at Google and at other email service providers, are being made by poorly designed algorithms that do not exercise any such judgment.
I have attempted to contact several of the poorly behaved email service providers, including Google, but I have not been able to reach an actual human being at any of them. And I have not gotten any of them to pay any attention to this problem.
As far as I can see, the only chance of straightening this out is for you, the paying customer of the email service provider, to instruct your email service provider to be smarter. As I describe here, this might be a matter of whitelisting emails that are "From:" particular email addresses in our listserv system. Or it might be a matter of whitelisting emails where the "envelope sender" is "server1.oppedahl-lists.com". Or it might be a matter of whitelisting emails where the sender is IP address 188.8.131.52. It might be as simple as instructing them to read this blog article.
Your email service provider probably won't do this because I ask. Probably if they do the right thing it will only be because you ask it to do so.
If you do contact your email service provider and give them instructions, please post a comment below for the benefit of other readers and listserv members. Indeed the accumulated comments might help a decisionmaker at a company like Google to better appreciate what is the right thing to do about this.

Dr. Ruth Bingham Dilts
Please tell us a little about yourself. (e.g., Background, education, hobbies, interests, etc.)
Born in New York and raised in California, I went to college at U.C. Davis to earn a BS (Animal Science) in 1984, an MS (Animal Science with reproduction and genetics emphasis) in 1988, and a DVM in 1989. I worked my way through school with no financial aid. For a year, I was a small animal vet and was a horse vet for 5 years. I then worked for San Francisco Animal Care and Control (SFACC) for over 18 years, doing thousands of necropsies, testifying in court dozens of times, and working on almost every type of animal cruelty case (except livestock) there is.
I performed the necropsies in both the Diane Whipple and the Nicolas Fabish fatal dog mauling cases. I was also involved in the Cosco Busan oil spill case. I've performed necropsies for other counties like San Mateo and Santa Cruz.
Now, I am semi-retired and working for the East County Animal Services in Dublin, CA and for a rescue organization in Morgan Hill. I am single, have one cat ("Oliver also known as "Little Shit"") and a tank of fish. I love to garden—I figure that God made Safeway for food and the garden for flowers. I attend Western States Veterinary Conference every year (best bang for the buck) and am active in my church.
Why did you choose the online Veterinary Forensic Sciences Program?
I have always been interested in Pathology, but almost all Veterinary Pathologists only work in reference labs looking at slides. I love the necropsies and one of my many paying jobs in college was working in the Pathology Department at U.C. Davis Vet School. I spent 3 years opening up every type of animal (llamas smell the worst) for the residents in Pathology.
I became interested in forensics while working at SFACC and got to know several police officers who gave me some education in ballistics. When I heard that there was going to be a conference in Veterinary Forensics in 2008, I went and was excited that the field was becoming recognized. I subsequently became a member of the IVFSA when it first organized and went to several conferences after that. When I heard that there was finally going to be some University-grade education offered in Veterinary Forensics, I jumped at the chance and signed up for the first class in Spring of 2012 which was Cruelty to Animals and Interpersonal Violence. I finished the Graduate Certificate and went on to do the Masters which I just finished in May 2016. If they ever offer a PhD in it, I will definitely sign up.
What surprised you most about the program?
How much I already knew from experience. I finally found the correct names for the processes I was seeing in a dead body (I just always called it decomposition)—Tardieu spots, Hemoglobin imbibition, Bile imbibition, Pseudomelanosis. Also, I was fascinated by how much I didn't know—species of flies and beetles, the extent of the "Link", the Federal Rules of Evidence, and more. I learned a great deal, and would recommend it to anyone interested in the field.
What was your favorite part of the online learning experience?
Getting connected to other vets who also share the interest in Veterinary Forensics. I didn't know any other vets who had an interest in the subject; I knew several shelter vets but most of them didn't like Pathology or had an interest in Forensics. Now, I have contacts all over the U.S. and in other countries as well!
What has been the most useful takeaway that you have applied to your day-to-day responsibilities?
Everything–from Entomology to Law to Radiology to Osteology… Since I still work for a municipal shelter, I am still doing forensic necropsies and participating in criminal cases. Now, I can bring even more expertise to the table as well as two college degrees in Veterinary Forensics when the defense lawyers voir dire me.Back to Student Testimonials

Jordin Brianna Sparks (born December 22, 1989)[1] is an American R&B and pop singer from Glendale, Arizona who rose to fame as the winner of the sixth season of American Idol. Sparks won when she was 17 years old, making her the youngest winner. She followed her American Idol victory with the release of her self-titled debut album in 2007, which has gone platinum and has sold over 2 million copies worldwide. Sparks' second single "No Air", which features Chris Brown, is the song with the most paid downloads by any American Idol contestant, selling about 4 million digital copies worldwide.[2] Due to the success of her debut album and its four top 20 singles, she has won an American Music Award in 2008 and received her first Grammy nomination in 2009.
Sparks' sophomore album Battlefield was released in July 2009 worldwide and debuted at #7 in the US, three spots higher than her first album. The album's lead single, also titled "Battlefield", peaked in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has sold more than a million copies thus far. Sparks has sold about 9 million singles worldwide to date. Sparks' first five singles all peaked in the top 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100, three of them peaking in the top 10. Battlefield's second single, "S.O.S. (Let the Music Play)", was her first song to top the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play making it her first U.S. number one single.[3]
Sparks was born in Phoenix, Arizona to Jodi Weidmann-Sparks and former NFL defensive back Phillippi Sparks. Her mother is Caucasian and her father is African-American. She has a younger brother, Phillippi "PJ" Sparks, Jr., who plays football. She grew up in the suburb of Roseland, New Jersey while her father played for the New York Giants. She attended Noecker Elementary in Roseland for three years. After living in New Jersey, Sparks attended Northwest Community Christian School in Phoenix through the eighth grade. Sparks attended Sandra Day O'Connor High School until 2006, when she was homeschooled to better concentrate on her singing.[4]
Sparks is an evangelical Christian and attends Calvary Community Church in Phoenix. On her American Idol biography, she thanks her parents and God for her win.[5] She wears a purity ring that symbolizes her desire to remain a virgin until marriage. She won an award for best young artist of the year in Arizona for three years.
Before appearing on American Idol, Sparks participated in and won such talent competitions as the Gospel Music Association Academy, NBC/PAX America's Most Talented Kids, Colgate Country Showdown, Coca-Cola's Rising Star, and the 2006 Drug Free AZ Superstar Search.
In 2006, Sparks was one of six winners who won the Phoenix Torrid search for the "Next Plus Size Model". She was flown to California, where she was used in a number of Torrid ads and promotional pieces.[6] A full-page ad for Torrid featuring Sparks ran in the December 2006 issue of Seventeen magazine.
In the summer of 2006, Sparks auditioned twice for American Idol: once in Los Angeles, California (only auditioned for producers) and again in Seattle, Washington after winning KSAZ Fox 10's Arizona Idol. The Seattle audition is the one seen in the January 17, 2007 broadcast of American Idol, in which she earned a "gold ticket" and the right to appear in the Hollywood Round. American Idol judge Randy Jackson made the offhand prediction that, "Curly hair will win this year."[7] While on the show, Sparks gained a loyal fan base known as "Sparkplugs". On May 23, 2007, Sparks was crowned the winner of the sixth season of American Idol. She remains the youngest winner in American Idol history. Sparks was the fourth winner never to have been voted in the bottom three (after Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Hicks).[8] Cowell said "Jordin was the most improved over the whole season – didn't start the best, but midway through this was the girl who suddenly got momentum." He included that "Young girl, likeable, and the singer won over the entertainer [Lewis]."[9]
Sparks twice performed on the seventh season of American Idol, once on the Idol Gives Back results show singing "No Air", her duet with Chris Brown, and again with "One Step at a Time" on May 21, 2008 for the finale. She performed "Battlefield" on the May 13, 2009 episode of American Idol.

Jordin Sparks
Sparks' songs from American Idol have been on sale at the iTunes Store and the American Idol official website as Jordin Sparks (EP) shortly after the finale of Idol, along with other songs that did not make the EP's cut that were being sold as individual singles. According to SoundScan figures posted in USA Today, Blake Lewis sold more digital singles than Sparks, but her mini album sold more than Lewis'.[10]
After the finale of Idol, Sparks made several appearances on television shows. She performed the finale song, "This Is My Now", on Live with Regis and Kelly, The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, The Today Show, The Early Show, and The View. Sparks also made appearances on The Tonight Show, The Ellen Show, Larry King Live, Total Request Live, and 106 & Park. On July 4, 2007, Sparks performed "God Bless America" and "America the Beautiful" on Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular with Lewis and Melinda Doolittle.[11][12]
Along with television and radio appearances, Sparks has been on the cover of Entertainment Weekly and featured in VIBE, TV Guide, Glamour, and other publications.
Sparks took part in the American Idols LIVE! Tour 2007 from July 6 to September 23, 2007 along with other contestants in the top ten.
On August 17, 2007, it was announced Sparks had signed to 19 Recordings/Jive Records/Zomba Label Group, becoming the first Idol winner to join the label group. David Archuleta (Season 7, runner up), Kris Allen (Season 8, winner), and Allison Iraheta (Season 8, 4th place) also joined the label group, making them the only four Idol contestants who signed a contract with them. Sparks has stated that she has recorded some songs for the album but the bulk of the recording would be done in Los Angeles after the tour is over.[13] She said the album would be "Top 40, radio-friendly, uplifting stuff" hopefully mixing "the pop rock sound of Kelly Clarkson with the R&B edge of Beyonce".[14][15] Her debut album came out on November 20 and November 27, 2007.
Some critics thought the album's ubiquitous and age-appropriate American Idol material has helped Sparks to find a secure future.[16]
Along with the label announcement, the first single was revealed to be "Tattoo", which was released to U.S. radio on August 27, 2007.[17] The song became the album's first top ten single. Later, on March 11, 2008, "Tattoo" was released on 'Now That's What I Call Music Vol. 27' as the sixth track on the album, along with 19 other chart-topping hits of early 2008.
After the release of "Tattoo", Sparks' official website ran a poll asking fans to vote for what her next single should be, the choices being "No Air", "Freeze", "One Step at a Time", or "Shy Boy". On February 3, 2008, it was announced that "No Air" had won the vote and was being added to radio stations. The song became a hit before it was officially released as a single and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 where it remained for four consecutive weeks. On June 3, 2008, "No Air" was released on 'Now That's What I Call Music Vol. 28' as the ninth track on the album, along with 19 other hits from 2008. She performed "No Air" with Chris Brown on the April 10, 2008 results show as part of Idol Gives Back. Sparks is the only Idol from outside Australia to top the ARIA Singles Chart with "No Air". The song toped the 3 million mark in paid downloads on the week of October 11, 2009. It's the first song by an American Idol alum to do so. It's also Brown's first song to hit the 3 million mark.[18]
In February 2008, Sparks sang the National Anthem at Super Bowl XLII[19] (the song was then made available on iTunes the next day). She had also previously performed at Game 1 of the 2007 NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers.[20] In February 2008, Jordin performed at the NBA Rookie game during NBA All-Star Weekend. Jordin also went to Ghana in February to help with Malaria No More. She performed in a tribute to Aretha at the NAACP Awards in February, as well. She had previously performed in a tribute to Diana Ross in December of 2007.
In March 2008 she appeared on The Tyra Banks Show. Banks told Sparks that she wanted her for the main role in a scripted television project she was working on. Later in 2008 on the radio show Johnjay & Rich, Sparks mentioned that she received an email from Tyra, which she expected to be news about the show, but was just a hello. She added that Tyra said she would contact her when the show came up. Sparks states that she would love to break into acting.[21]
Sparks was the opening act for Alicia Keys on the U.S. leg of her As I Am tour. Before going on tour, she was to appear on the GMA Dove Awards as part of a tribute to Michael W. Smith as well as it was announced Sparks would team up with cosmetics company, Avon, to become a spokesperson for the teen-focused line Mark. Before the tour even started, a potentially career-threatening throat injury forced Sparks to cancel a few weeks of shows. Officials said that she was suffering an acute vocal cord hemorrhage, and was ordered strict vocal rest until the condition improved. If it had not improved, it may have required laser microsurgery. Her first concert originally was scheduled as an opener for Alicia Keys on Saturday, April 19, 2008.[22][23][24] She was back on the road with Alicia Keys by April 30. She remained on the tour until the last show on June 18.
"One Step at a Time" was the third single from the album and was officially released in the U.S. on June 10, 2008.[25] Sparks performed "One Step at a Time" at Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular for the second year in a row. The song peaked in the Top 20 on the Hot 100 and the Top 5 on the Pop 100 chart. She has been on Regis and Kelly, So You Think You Can Dance, Good Morning America, and Canadian Idol promoting "One Step at a Time". With the success of "One Step at a Time", Sparks became the first and only American Idol contestant ever to have their first four singles all crack the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100.
In August 2008 Jordin co-headlined a tour with Jesse McCartney.
Sparks was appointed on August 12, 2008 by President George W. Bush to be a member of the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation for a two year term along with other celebrities such as Corinne Bailey Rae and Michael W. Smith, with whom she has previously worked.
Sparks appeared at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards on September 7, 2008 where she was nominated for 2 VMAs for Best Female Video and Best New Artist. She is the second American Idol winner to have 2 or more nominations after the release of one album. The first being Kelly Clarkson with 3 nominations. Britney Spears for "Piece Of Me"[26] actually took home the award that night for Best Female Video, while Tokio Hotel beat out Sparks for the Best New Artist award with "Ready, Set, Go!".[26] While at the same VMAs, Sparks caused controversy by responding to a joke made by host Russell Brand during his opening monologue, when he held up a silver ring, claiming to have relieved one of the Jonas Brothers of his virginity,[27] saying he would "take them more seriously if they wore it (the ring) around their genitals."[28] Sparks took umbrage, responding at the start of her introduction of rapper T.I.: "I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It's not bad to wear a promise ring because not everybody — guy or girl — wants to be a slut."[28] In response to controversy over her "slut" remark, she told Entertainment Weekly that she doesn't regret the remark, commenting that "I wish I would've worded it differently – that somebody who doesn't wear a promise ring isn't necessarily a slut – but I can't take it back now".[29] While presenting an award at the American Music Awards, she started by stating "I'm gonna stick to the script this time" in reference to the VMA incident.
She has won an American Music Award for Favorite Artist in the Adult Contemporary Category. This was her first nomination at the American Music Awards.[30] In November 2008 Sparks teamed up with Wet Seal to create her own clothing line. The collection, appropriately named 'Sparks', began with an assortment of holiday dresses delivering to stores just in time for the busy Thanksgiving weekend. The collection will later include casual apparel and accessories. Each piece will reflect Sparks' youthful and collected sense of style. The line launched on November 19, 2008 and comes in sizes XS to XL.
Sparks joined Alicia Keys for a second time on an Australian leg of her As I Am Tour, which began on December 6, 2008 in Auckland, New Zealand at the Vector Arena and ended December 20, 2008.
Timbaland said in an interview that Sparks will be one of the collaborations on his forthcoming album Shock Value 2.[31] However when the official press release was release, Sparks was not listed as one of the album's collaborators. In an update on her website, she stated that her fans can look forward to seeing more upbeat dance tunes on her second album.[32] She confirmed that fans could see her at a possible NFL playoff anthem in January, Charity Benefit in February, and VH1 Save the Music performing with John Mayer in March. In addition to this an official Sparks fan club would open called "SparksTown", which has since been launched with the release of "Battlefield".[33] Sparks returned to University of Phoenix Stadium to again sing the national anthem before the NFC Championship game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles on January 18, 2009.
Sparks joined several A-List singers performing at the Commander-in-Chief's Inaugural Ball which was hosted by President Barack Obama on January 20, 2009[34] where she performed a new song entitled 'Faith' written by herself. The song was seleted as the 11th track on Battlefield. Sparks sang the National Anthem at the NBA All Star Game on February 15, 2009 and at an MLB Spring Training game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox on March 1, 2009.[35] Sparks hired her own personal trainer, Joey London[36] and began working with choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson for her upcoming tour with the Jonas Brothers.
Sparks' second album has a higher profile and better production than her first due to the great success of the album itself and its four singles.[37] Sparks said she plans on working with Jesse McCartney and Ryan Tedder on her new album in an interview on the radio show "Johnjay & Rich" the morning after her appearance at the 2008 American Music Awards. She said the album will be more R&B and dance influenced, and will sound more "Beyoncé meets Rihanna." In an update on her MySpace, Sparks stated she was "in the studio and writing amazing songs!" She also told Hollyscoop TV that she had spoken to Leona Lewis and the pair were considering recording a duet along the theme of 'female empowerment'.[38]
In a radio interview on The MJ Morning Show in Tampa, Florida, Sparks revealed news about the highly anticipated album. She announced her label's goal for the release of her second album is in late spring/early summer. At the time of the interview, Sparks had recorded a total of 9 songs. Jordin recorded 30 songs for the album.[39] Sparks also revealed she was working with some of the same writers as the last album as well as new writers and producers such as Stargate, T-Pain, Dr. Luke, Max Martin,[40] Claude Kelly,[41] Lucas Secon, and Toby Gad.[42] Sparks visited the radio show "Johnjay & Rich" where she previewed four new songs ("Let It Rain", "Walking On Snow", "Faith", and "Paper Cut"), which are songs that made her sophomore album.
The album's first single, "Battlefield", was written and produced by Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter/producer Ryan Tedder. Jordin performed the song during the American Idol Top 3 results show on May 13, 2009; the song was sent for radio adds on May 25, 2009.[43][44][45] The song peaked in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. With this success, the song became Sparks' fifth consecutive top 20 hit and third nonconsecutive top 10 hit. Philip Andelman shot the music video in Los Angeles. Philip has shot videos for the likes of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Jay-Z.[46] Jordin shot the video on May 12, 2009 and then finished shooting on May 14, 2009.[47][48] On May 24, 2009 Jordin headed to Europe with her brother, PJ, to begin promotion for the single.[49][50]
On May 19, 2009 Jordin announced the title of her sophomore record would be Battlefield.[51] The album was released on July 21, 2009.[52] Jordin also became an endorser for the Got Milk? organization on May 20, 2009 when she went to take a photo shoot.[53]
It was announced that Jordin would serve as the opening act for the North American leg of the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009 on May 11, 2009.[54] The tour included a concert in Monterrey, Mexico. On August 14, 2009 it was announced that Sparks would replace Ciara on "The Circus Starring: Britney Spears" tour as a special guest on the second North American leg. Sparks performed on the second North American leg of the tour for most shows.[55]
After weeks of speculation, on August 25, 2009 it was announced that Sparks would be taking part in the 2009 VH1 Divas special on September 17, 2009.[56] She performed her second single from Battlefield: S.O.S. (Let the Music Play) and a duet with Martina McBride.
In mid October Sparks embarked on a short promotional tour in Europe. On October 23rd, Australian soul and R&B artist Guy Sebastian, released a new single entitled Art of Love which guest featured Sparks. Sebastian who wrote the song in mind for Sparks, traveled to New York to record the song with her.[57][58] Like Sparks, Guy Sebastian is a winner of the Idol reality television series in Australia (Season One). Sebastian and Sparks filmed the official music video in Los Angeles on November 3, 2009. [59]
Jordin recently made her acting debut on Disney's The Suite Life on Deck, guest starring as herself in the "Crossing Jordin" episode.[60][61] On January 21, 2010 Bones creator Hart Hanson revealed to TV Guide that Sparks would be make a guest appearance on the hit TV show. [62]
Sparks was one of the many artists who contributed to We Are the World 25 for Haiti, a charity single for the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake [63]
