Servitization has recently sparked a renewed interest in commercial aviation and defense. OEMs and tier 1 suppliers have recognized that in order to maintain a competitive edge and develop sustainable revenue streams, they must move towards a more performance-based business model by providing the right combination of products and services.
According to the Aston Business School's servitization impact study, servitization promises:
- Sustained annual business growth of 5-10%
- Reduced costs of up to 25-30% for operators

Christmas Fair Shopping
Okay, so maybe it is a little bit early to consider Christmas shopping, even though the Christmas decorations in retail stores went up as the Halloween decorations came down, with the speed of a Los Vegas blackjack dealer flipping through a deck of cards. It's time to consider Christmas, early or not. For myself, I developed the habit of doing so while stationed overseas, when the heavy parcels home had to be mailed by October in order to arrive by Christmas, which pushed my personal Christmas shopping back into the months of August and September . . . anyway, now I have a couple of shelves in the master bedroom closet that are dedicated to gift storage. That is, the things that we pick up throughout the year, thinking "Oh, that will be a splendid present for so-and-so!" Come December, all we need do is pull everything out and get busy with the tissue paper and ribbons.
For those who are not inclined to this kind of Christmas shopping, there are alternatives to the Big Box Store sameness; venues to purchase gifts that are unique – and made in America. The very nicest of them are a range of craft shows and markets, taking place locally over coming weekends, many of which also benefit local institutions.
One of the biggest of these upcoming fairs takes place over next weekend, November 17-20th (2011) at the New Braunfels Convention Center – the Weihnachtsmarkt, which benefits the Sophienburg Museum and archives. More than fifty local vendors and crafters will be featured over four days of the fair, as well as a dozen local authors, including me!
The first weekend in December provides a treasure-box of community-oriented Christmas fairs and craft shows: continuing the decided Germanic flavor, Fredericksburg sets up their St. Nikolausmarkt on the Marktplatz (Market Square) on Friday and Saturday, December 2nd and 3rd – the Friday evening of this event to be enhanced with a lighted Christmas parade on Main Street.
Goliad also has a Christmas craft fair, parade and community events. Christmas on the Square happens on the same Friday and Saturday. Their Saturday parade has a more traditional Texan flavor, as it usually features Santa arriving mounted on a long-horn, and attended by a mounted posse of cowboys. Goliad also features local authors – me, yet again. I love Goliad, by the way – especially at Christmas.
Closer to San Antonio, Boerne goes English and Dickens for Christmas, with all sorts of period Victoriana, Main Street lit by lamplight and many enterprises remaining open for extended hours. Castroville, better known as Little Alsace – more of a French influence there – also has a two-day event, with parade, tree-lighting, and many local vendors. Really, one is almost spoiled for choice, the first weekend of December. But there is no excuse not to get the Christmas shopping done then.

WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center
Melania Trump v. Parody Sites
Case No. D2005-0856
1. The Parties
The Complainant is Melania Trump, New York, NY, United States of America, represented by Proskauer Rose, LLP, United States of America.
The Respondent is Parody Sites,1 Glen Rock, NJ, United States of America.
2. The Domain Name and Registrar
The disputed domain name <melaniatrump.com>is registered with eNom.
3. Procedural History
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on August 10, 2005. On August 11, 2005, the Center transmitted by email to eNom a request for registrar verification in connection with the domain name at issue. On August 12, 2005, eNom transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details for the administrative, billing, and technical contact. The Center verified that the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy"), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Supplemental Rules").
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on August 16, 2005. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was September 11, 2005. The Respondent submitted a response on September 9, 2005.
The Center appointed William R. Towns as the Sole Panelist in this matter on September 22, 2005. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
After receipt and initial review of the administrative case file, the Panel issued an administrative panel order on October 5, 2005, requesting that the Complainant submit supplemental information to support her claim of common law trademark rights in her personal name. The Respondent was afforded an opportunity to submit a supplemental response. The Complainant and the Respondent made supplemental submissions on October 12 and 19, 2005, respectively, and the administrative record is now closed.
4. Factual Background
The Complainant is a widely recognized fashion model and the wife of Donald J. Trump, a prominent real estate developer, entrepreneur and celebrity in his own right. Known professionally as Melania Trump since her marriage to Mr. Trump in January 2005,2 the Complainant's modeling career includes features in Sports Illustrated, Allure, Vogue, Self, Glamour, Vanity Fair, Elle, and FHM. She has also appeared on the covers of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, CQ, Sunday Telegraph Magazine, Ocean Drive, Avenue, In Style, and New York Magazine.
In addition to modeling in fashion shows and magazines, the Complainant has commercially exploited her name and celebrity status to promote the products and services of a number of companies. She recently appeared in a national commercial for Aflac, and is under contract to make further personal appearances. She is also under contract as a spokes model for Levi and has made personal appearances to promote that company's apparel. In addition, the Complainant served as a celebrity judge for the Miss USA 2003 beauty pageant, and she has appeared on her husband's popular reality television show The Apprentice.
The Respondent3 is the owner of E-agle Web Consulting, Inc., a web development company. On April 21, 2004, the Respondent4 registered the disputed domain name <melaniatrump.com>. The registration of the disputed domain name predates by some eight months the Complainant's marriage to Mr. Trump. The Complainant's relationship with Mr. Trump had been the subject of significant media attention beginning in 1999, and the couple's engagement was announced a short time after the Respondent registered the disputed domain name.
The Respondent is using the disputed domain name in connection with a website containing photographs of the Complainant and Mr. Trump and what appear to be excerpts from various news stories about them. The website also contains an extensive list of links which direct Internet users to secondary pages of the <donaldtrump.star-profiles4u.com> website. The web pages to which the Respondent's website is linked all contain advertising and promotional offerings.
The Complainant initially contacted the Respondent regarding the disputed domain name by means of a cease and desist letter dated June 24, 2005. 5 At that time, the following was prominently displayed at the top of the website:
"MelaniaTrump.com For Sale @ the bargain price of 1 Million Dollars!
Cmon Donald Trump of Apprentice, you can afford it!
Site will go to the highest bidder. E-mail email@example.com"
After receiving the Complainant's June 24, 2005 demand, the Respondent contacted the Complainant's counsel by telephone on June 28, 2005. In the ensuing conversation, the Respondent indicated that the disputed domain name was being used in connection with a "parody" site and was never intended to be offered for sale. Subsequently, the Respondent removed the offer for sale from the website and replaced it with the following:6
"This is a parody Website of The funny couple Melania Knauss and Donald Trump, this site is not related to them at all, should you wish to go to their site go to http://melaniaknauss.com or http://trump.com"
5. Parties' Contentions
A. Complainant
The Complainant contends that she has developed strong trademark and service mark rights in her name as a result of her high-profile media image, pointing to her numerous fashion show, magazine and television appearances, including her recent Aflac commercial and related promotional appearances, and her role as a spokes model for Levi jeans. She asserts that the disputed domain name is identical to her well-known name and mark, and that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the domain name, notwithstanding the Respondent's claim to be using the domain name in connection with a parody and/or fan website regarding the Complainant and her husband, Donald Trump.
The Complainant further contends that the Respondent registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith, attempting intentionally to attract internet users to the Respondent's website for commercial gain by trading on the goodwill and reputation of the Complainant's name and mark. The Complainant alleges that the Respondent's claim to be using the domain name in connection with a parody or fan website is pretextual, and that the Respondent's real motivation is commercial in nature. The Complainant notes that the Respondent made no claim to be operating a parody or fan site until after receiving the Complainant's cease and desist letter, and that prior to that time the Respondent had conspicuously offered the domain name for sale. As further evidence of bad faith, the Complainant asserts that the Respondent used false and misleading contact information when initially registering the domain name.
In view of the foregoing, the Complainant is seeking the transfer of the disputed domain name.
B. Respondent
The Response identifies the Respondent as Eitan "Ed" Dvir. The Respondent is the owner of E-agle Web Consulting, and states that he is a long time, avid fan of Donald Trump. The Respondent notes that at one time he even sought to be selected as a player on Mr. Trump's reality television show The Apprentice. According to the Respondent, it was his interest in the Complainant's husband that led him to create a fan site chronicling the couple's relationship. The Respondent states that his sole intention in registering the disputed domain name was to create a fan site to draw attention to the high profile relationship between the Complainant, then known as Melania Knauss, and Donald Trump.
The Respondent asserts that the website is simply an after-hours hobby and that it is not related to his web consulting business. The Respondent disputes that he has ever offered to sell the disputed domain name, and claims that the published offer on the website to sell the domain name to Mr. Trump was a joke and a "mock offer". The Response states that Mr. Dvir does not offer products or services for sale on the website, that Mr. Dvir is not affiliated with any advertisers or with the linked web pages displayed on his website, and that Mr. Dvir does not profit directly or indirectly from the website.
The Respondent asserts that the Complainant has not established common law trademark or service mark rights in her personal name. The Respondent argues that at best, the Complainant merely has a famous name. Further, the Respondent argues that the Complainant could not have had trademark of service mark rights in the name "Melania Trump" at the time the Respondent registered the disputed domain name, since she had not yet married Mr. Trump and was personally and professionally known by her former name, Melania Knauss.
In any event, the Respondent argues that his registration of the disputed domain name at least eight months before the earliest date that the Complainant could have adopted MELANIA TRUMP as a trademark or service mark (i.e., the date of her marriage to Donald Trump) precludes any finding of bad faith registration under the Policy. Further, the Respondent asserts that he has registered hundreds of domain names in connection with his web consulting business, but at no prior time has he ever registered a celebrity domain name or one that reflected a recognized trademark.
6. Discussion and Findings
A. Scope of the Policy
The Policy is addressed to resolving disputes concerning allegations of abusive domain name registration and use. Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation v. Bay Verte Machinery, Inc. d/b/a The Power Tool Store, WIPO Case No. D2002-0774. Accordingly, the jurisdiction of this Panel is limited to providing a remedy in cases of "the abusive registration of domain names", also known as "cybersquatting". Weber-Stephen Products Co. v. Armitage Hardware, WIPO Case No. D2000-0187. See Report of the WIPO Internet Domain Name Process, paragraphs 169 & 170. Paragraph 15(a) of the Rules provides that the Panel shall decide a complaint on the basis of statements and documents submitted and in accordance with the Policy, the Rules and any other rules or principles of law that the Panel deems applicable.
Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy requires that the Complainant prove each of the following three elements to obtain a decision that a domain name should be either cancelled or transferred:
(i) The domain name registered by the Respondent is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights; and
(ii) The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests with respect to the domain name; and
(iii) The domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
Cancellation or transfer of the domain name are the sole remedies provided to the Complainant under the Policy, as set forth in paragraph 4(i).
Paragraph 4(b) sets forth four situations under which the registration and use of a domain name is deemed to be in bad faith, but does not limit a finding of bad faith to only these situations.
Paragraph 4(c) in turn identifies three means through which a respondent may establish rights or legitimate interests in the domain name. Although the complainant bears the ultimate burden of establishing all three elements of paragraph 4(a), a number of panels have concluded that paragraph 4(c) shifts the burden to the Respondent to come forward with evidence of a right or legitimate interest in the domain name, once the complainant has made a prima facie showing. See, e.g., Document Technologies, Inc. v. International Electronic Communications Inc., WIPO Case No. D2000-0270.
B. Identical or Confusingly Similar
The Panel initially addresses the question of whether the Complainant has established common law trademark or service mark rights in her name, Melania Trump.7 An impressive number of panelists have recognized that celebrities who use their given names for commercial purposes may establish common law rights in their names sufficient to invoke the Policy. As noted by the Panel in Israel Harold Asper v. Communication X Inc., WIPO Case No. D2001-0540, in cases involving entertainers, authors, professional athletes and the occasional business person, complainants have been found to have common law marks in their names in circumstances where the name has been used as a marketable commodity, for a fee to promote another's goods or services, or for direct commercial purposes in the marketing of the complainant's own goods or services. See, e.g., Freddy Adu v. Frank Fushille, WIPO Case No. D2004-0682; David Gilmour, David Gilmour Music Limited and David Gilmour Music Overseas Limited v. Ermanno Cenicolla, WIPO Case No. D2000-1459; Julia Fiona Roberts v. Russell Boyd, WIPO Case No. D2000-0210; Jeanette Winterson v. Mark Hogarth, WIPO Case No. D2000-0235; Monty and Pat Roberts, Inc. v. Bill Keith, WIPO Case No. D2000-0299; Steven Rattner v. BuyThisDomainName (John Pepin), WIPO Case No. D2000-0402; Daniel C. Marino, Jr. v. Video Images Productions, et al., WIPO Case No. D2000-0598; Isabelle Adjani v. Second Orbit Communications, Inc., WIPO Case No. D2000-0867; Madonna Ciccone, p/k/a Madonna v. Dan Parisi and "Madonna.com", WIPO Case No. D2000-0847; Nik Carter v. The Afternoon Fiasco, WIPO Case No. D2000-0658.
As the Respondent observes, however, merely having a famous name is not sufficient to establish common law trademark or service mark rights in the name. The Policy makes a clear distinction between the protection afforded trademark rights and rights arising under the law of publicity. See Israel Harold Asper v. Communication X Inc., WIPO Case No. D2001-0540. Under the law of publicity, as recognized in virtually all American jurisdictions, well known individuals have the right to control commercial exploitation of their names and likenesses. See Bi-Rite Enterprises, Inc., Et Al. V. Bruce Miner Company, Inc., Et Al., 757 F.2d 440 (1st Cir. 1985). To be entitled to protection under the Policy, however, a personal name must function as a trademark, and for common law trademark rights to exist, the Complainant's personal name must have come to be recognized by the public as a symbol which identifies the goods or services with a single source.8
The Panel is persuaded from the evidence of record regarding the nature and extent of the commercial exploitation of the Complainant's personal name that she has established common law trademark or service mark rights in her name.9 That the Complainant did not begin using her current name for commercial and professional purposes until her recent marriage to Donald Trump in January 2005 is a complicating factor, but there seems little doubt that the public has come to know the Complainant by the name "Melania Trump", and the Panel finds that the Complainant's use of that name in commerce for the direct marketing of her services and to promote the goods or services of others is sufficient to convey trademark or service mark rights in the name.
The Panel further finds that the disputed domain name <melaniatrump.com> is identical or confusingly similar to the Complainant's mark. See Lockheed Martin Corporation. v. Dan Parisi, WIPO Case No. D2000-1015; The Salvation Army v. Info-Bahn, Inc., WIPO Case No. D2001-0463. The critical inquiry under the first element of paragraph 4(a) is simply whether the mark and domain name, when directly compared, have confusing similarity. See Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Richard MacLeod d/b/a For Sale, WIPO Case No. D2000-0662 (domain name incorporating mark in its entirety is confusingly similar). The Panel finds that to be the case here. Accordingly, the Panel finds that the Complainant has met her burden under paragraph 4(a)(i).10
C. Rights or Legitimate Interests
The Complainant clearly has not authorized or consented to the Respondent's use of her name and mark, and nothing in the record reflects that the Respondent has ever been commonly known by the disputed domain name. The record instead reflects that the Respondent is using the domain name, which is identical to the Complainant's name and mark, to divert Internet traffic to the Respondent's website. Although the Respondent's website currently states that it is a parody site and disclaims any affiliation with the Complainant, the Respondent previously had posted an offer on the website to sell the domain name to the highest bidder. Further, the website both now and in the past contains a very large number of links to other web pages prominently featuring advertisements and promotional offerings.
In view of prior panel decisions such as Auto-C, LLC v. MustNeed.com, WIPO Case No. D2004-0025, the Panel in this case is persuaded that a prima facie showing has been made for purposes of paragraph 4(a)(ii) that the Respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. See also Compagnie de Saint Gobain v. Com-Union Corp., WIPO Case No. D2000-0020. Once a complainant makes a prima facie showing that a respondent lacks rights to the domain name at issue, the respondent must come forward with proof that it has some legitimate interest in the domain name to rebut this presumption. Document Technologies, Inc. v. International Electronic Communications Inc., WIPO Case No. D2000-0270.
Pursuant to paragraph 4(c) of the Policy, the Respondent may establish rights to or legitimate interests in the disputed domain names by demonstrating any of the following:
(i) before any notice to it of the dispute, the Respondent's use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or
(ii) the Respondent has been commonly known by the domain name, even if it has acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or
(iii) the Respondent is making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain, to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue.
There is nothing in the record remotely suggesting that the Respondent has been commonly known by the disputed domain name. Nor does the Respondent so contend. Further, the Respondent strenuously denies that he is using the disputed domain name in connection with an offering of goods or services. Instead, he maintains that he is making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name in connection with a fan site and/or a parody website.
The Panel concludes for the reasons set forth below that the Respondent has failed to demonstrate that he is making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name under Paragraph 4(c)(iii) of the Policy sufficient to rebut the Complainant's prima facie showing. First, the Respondent's initially registered the disputed domain name under the fictitious name "Web Domains for Sale". The Respondent also provided fictitious contact information to the registrar. The Respondent claims "Web Domains for Sale" is a default registration that he uses in his web consulting business on behalf of clients. But the Respondent provides no evidence of such other registrations. Moreover, the Respondent maintains that his registration of the disputed domain name was for his personal use and was not business related, and that he always intended to use the domain name in connection with a fan site. If that is true, then there would be no reason for Respondent to have listed the registrant as "Web Domains for Sale".
The Respondent's conduct in identifying the registrant as "Web Domains for Sale" and providing fictitious contact information is inconsistent with the Respondent's claim that he registered the domain name for fair use purposes. See Bandon Dunes L.P. v. DefaultData.com, WIPO Case No. D2000-0431 (initial registrant listed as "NameIsForSale.com"). Further, the record indisputably reflects that the Respondent posted on the website an offer to sell the domain name to the highest bidder.11 The Respondent did not remove the offer to sell the domain name from the website, or change the domain name registrant from "Web Domains for Sale" to "Parody Sites", or revise the website to claim that it was a parody site, until after the Respondent received the demand letter from the Complainant's counsel.
The Panel also finds unpersuasive the Respondent's attempt to characterize as noncommercial the presence on his website of a large number of links to web pages at the <donaldtrump.star-profiles4u.com> website. The Respondent's claim that these links have been listed for purposes of "search engine optimization", rather than negating any commercial motive, suggests to the Panel that exactly the opposite is true. The Respondent's website strongly resembles a "link farm" site. Search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN routinely search the web for content and attempt to relate content to keywords. "Link farm" sites are specifically set up for the purpose of allowing other sites to "buy" large numbers of inbound links in the hope of achieving "search engine optimization". The Respondent, who is in the web consulting business, certainly would be aware of this.
Paragraph 4(c)(iii) of the Policy recognizes that a respondent may have a right or legitimate interest in making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of a domain name. Panel decisions are divided as to whether a respondent legitimately can operate a fan site or parody site utilizing a domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to the complainant's mark.12 But it is clear that a respondent must demonstrate that the domain name is being used without intent for commercial gain in order to successfully invoke this paragraph. See Helen Fielding v. Anthony Corbert aka Anthony Corbett, WIPO Case No. D2000-1000.
The circumstances of the Respondent's registration and use of the domain name in this case do not negate such intent for commercial gain. Accordingly, the Respondent has failed to rebut the Complainant's prima facie showing under Paragraph 4(a)(ii).
D. Registered and Used in Bad Faith
Paragraph 4(b) of the Policy states that any of the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, shall be considered evidence of the registration or use of a domain name in bad faith:
(i) circumstances indicating that the Respondent registered or acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the Complainant (the owner of the trademark or service mark) or to a competitor of that Complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or
(ii) circumstances indicating that the Respondent registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that the Respondent has engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or
(iii) circumstances indicating that the Respondent registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or
(iv) circumstances indicating that the Respondent intentionally is using the domain name in an attempt to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to its website or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of the Respondent's website or location or of a product or service on its website or location.
The overriding objective of the Policy is to prevent abusive domain name registration and use for the benefit of legitimate trademark owners, and the Panel notes that the examples of bad faith registration and use set forth in paragraph 4(b) are not meant to be exhaustive of all circumstances from which such bad faith may be found. See Telstra Corporation Limited v. Nuclear Marshmallows, WIPO Case No. D2000-0003.
The Respondent argues that no bad faith registration is possible under the circumstances of this case, since he registered the disputed domain name some eight months before the Complainant's first use of MELANIA TRUMP as a mark. As a general rule, when a domain name is registered before any trademark rights are established, the registration of the domain name is not in bad faith since the registrant could not have contemplated the complainant's non-existent right. In certain situations, however, when the respondent is aware of the complainant and the circumstances indicate that the aim of the registration was to take advantage of potential complainant rights, bad faith can be found. See, e.g., General Growth Properties, Inc., Provo Mall L.L.C. v. Steven Rasmussen/Provo Towne Centre Online, WIPO Case No. D2003-0845.
In this case, the Respondent, who describes himself as long time avid fan of Donald Trump, was well aware of the highly publicized relationship between the Complainant and Donald Trump at the time he registered the disputed domain name. The public announcement of the couple's engagement was made within a brief time following the Respondent's registration of the domain name. The Respondent's own website reflects the Complainant's celebrity status and the Complainant's commercial use of her name, both before and after her marriage to Mr. Trump. The Respondent acknowledges in his Response that he registered the domain name <melaniatrump.com> and constructed his website in a manner intended to maximize the diversion of Internet users searching for the Complainant to his website. Thus, the Respondent clearly hoped to benefit from the initial interest confusion and diversion of web traffic. Under the circumstances of this case, the fact that the Complainant had not established common law trademark rights in MELANIA TRUMP at the time of the registration of the disputed domain name does not preclude a finding of bad faith registration.
In the final analysis, the Panel finds from the totality of the circumstances that the Respondent both has registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith within the meaning of paragraph 4(a)(iii). The indicia of bad faith include the Respondent's registration of a domain name identical to the Complainant's mark in order to create confusion and divert web traffic to his website, the Respondent's use of fictitious registrant names, the Respondent's provision of false contact information, the Respondent's use of his website to offer the domain name for sale to the highest bidder (which the Respondent retracted only after receipt of the Complainant's cease and desist letter), and the inclusion of a very large number of links on the Respondent's website consistent with the operation of a "link farm" site, all of which this Panel finds to be inconsistent with the Respondent's claim to have registered the domain name for purely noncommercial use in connection with a fan site and/or parody site.
Accordingly, the Panel finds that the Complainant has met her burden under Paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy.
7. Decision
For all the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the domain name <melaniatrump.com> be transferred to the Complainant.
William R. Towns
Sole Panelist
Dated: November 1, 2005
2 Prior to her marriage to Mr. Trump, the Complainant was professionally known as Melania Knauss.
3 The Response submitted to the Panel states that Eitan "Ed" Dvir, the owner of E-agle Web Consulting, is the registered domain name holder and identifies him as the Respondent. Nevertheless, Mr. Dvir's name appears nowhere in the contact information respecting the registration of the domain name. Initially, the registrant was listed as "Web Domains for Sale". The registration was amended sometime after June 24, 2005 to identify "Parody Sites" as the registrant. The mailing address given for "Parody Sites" is the same address which Mr. Dvir provides for himself in the Response. However, the email contact for "Parody Sites" and the email contact provided for Mr. Dvir in the Response are not the same.
4 The term "Respondent" as used hereinafter refers collectively to Mr. Dvir and what apparently are the fictitious names he used to register the disputed domain name.
5 The Complainant's counsel conducted a Whois search of the domain on June 24, 2005. At that time, the registrant was identified as "Web Domains for Sale". The street address given for the registrant – 233 Main Street, Glen Rock, NJ 07452 – was not correct. The Respondent's correct address is 233 Rock Road, Glen Rock, NJ 07452.
6 The Respondent also changed the name of the registrant from "Web Domains for Sale" to "Parody Site" after receiving the Complainant's demand letter.
7 The term "trademark or service mark" as used in Paragraph 4(a)(i) encompasses both registered marks and common law marks. See e.g., The British Broadcasting Corporation v. Jaime Renteria, WIPO Case No. D2000-0050; United Artists Theatre Circuit, Inc. v. Domains for Sale Inc. WIPO Case No. D2002-0005, The Professional Golfers' Association of America v. Golf Fitness Inc., a/k/a Golf Fitness Association, WIPO Case No. D2001-0218. Common law rights in a trademark or service mark may be established by extensive or continuous use sufficient to identify particular goods or services as those of the trademark owner. See United Drug Co. v. Theodore Rectanus Co., 248 U.S. 90 (1918).
8 The Panel notes that under United States trademark law a mark that is primarily a surname cannot be registered on the principal register of the USPTO unless it has acquired secondary meaning. 15 U.S.C. § 1052(e)(4). A designation that is likely to be perceived by prospective purchasers of goods or services as a personal name generally is not considered to be inherently distinctive. Rather, such a designation is distinctive only if it has acquired secondary meaning. See Restatement (Third) Unfair Competition § 14.
9 The Complainant's evidence has been summarized above in the Panel's discussion of the "Factual Background" of the case.
10 The Panel finds no evidence that the Complainant had established common law rights in the MELANIA TRUMP mark at the time the Respondent initially registered the disputed domain name. Nevertheless, it is not necessary under paragraph 4(a)(i) for the Complainant to demonstrate that her rights in the mark arose prior to the Respondent's registration of the disputed domain name. See, e.g., Digital Vision, Ltd. v. Advanced Chemill Systems, WIPO Case No. D2001-0827; Kangwon Land, Inc. v. Bong Woo Chun (K.W.L. Inc), WIPO Case No. D2003-0320; AB Svenska Spel v. Andrey Zacharov, WIPO Case No. D2003-0527; Iogen Corporation v. IOGEN, WIPO Case No. D2003-0544; MADRID 2012, S.A. v. Scott Martin-MadridMan Websites, WIPO Case No. D2003-0598. See PC Mall, Inc. v. Pygmy Computer Systems, Inc., WIPO Case No. D2004-0437.
11 The Panel is not persuaded that the Respondent's offer to sell the domain name on the website was merely a joke. The Respondent apparently believes no one would take seriously his offer to sell to Donald Trump for one million dollars a domain name trading on the good will in Mr. Trump's wife's name and mark. Even were that true, the Respondent fails to explain why internet users diverted to his website would not take the Respondent's further statement that the "[S]ite will go to the highest bidder" seriously.

Commodity currencies got beat severely during the session on Tuesday and of course the Australian dollar was no different. However, we are still consolidating as far as I can see so therefore I don't have any interest in trading this market currently. I believe that a lot of back and forth trading is probably about to happen, so if you are a scalper this might be a nice opportunity, but beyond that I think it's best to be on the sidelines until this market can make some type of impulsive candle for you to follow.

Case Study: Ten MW Data Center Decommissioning
腾讯体育Nexus Properties, nationally known for their development of biotech research facilities, is a leader in real estate development across the United States. They offer diversified services within the real estate marketing—ranging from property management services to development and acquisition.
The Challenge
Due to the constantly evolving data center marketing and increased migration to colocation, Nexus was unable to lease a data center in Bothell, Washington that was previously vacated by a large wireless carrier.
The Solution
LEL Decom腾讯体育 walked alongside Nexus to help them realize the value in their relatively new, Tier-two rate infrastructure equipment. Nexus received a substantial sum of money even after the cost of decommissioning and restoration was deducted.
- 650,000 lbs of recycled material removal
- 10 Megawatts of generators removed
- 2,200 tons of chillers removed
- 6,000 lbs of recycled freon
- 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel recycled
- 35 truckloads of equipment removed from site
The Results
腾讯体育LEL Decom transformed the data center into a building shell, allowing Nexus to re-lease the property with unlimited potential for buildout for future tenants, as well as recoup any losses while the property was vacant through the sale of existing infrastructure.
LEL Decom provided us with a great one-stop solution for decommissioning a major data center in one of our buildings. They were very professional and did a great job in communicating with us throughout the process. We would surely recommend LEL Decom to others looking to decommission a data center
—Brandon Crocker, Vice President & CFO, Nexus Properties

Washington -- Dick Gephardt is enjoying the good life of getting rich off big corporations. He is a lobbyist for Gephardt Group, which he started after he left Congress in 2005.
"I love being a lobbyists, because I can hangout with my old pals in Congress. I don't have to pretend to care about America, and big companies pay me lots of money to exploit American workers." Mr. Gephardt told a group of lobbyist at his dinner to raise money for clean coal technology.
"My latest gem is the clean coal idea I am trying to sell to Congress. Clean coal, what kind of idiot thought this up? But it is working." Mr. Gephardt added.
Lobbyist are getting a bad rap from President Obama, but his criticism only seems to be feeding the lobbyist beast. Lobbyist are spending more money and their numbers in Washington keep growing.
"When I started as a lobbyist I wanted to stay away from shady businesses, but that soon stopped after I realized that I wouldn't make a lot of money doing honest work. I guess I should have remembered that from my days in Congress." Mr. Gephardt told the lobbyist.
As a lobbyist, Mr. Gephardt worked for Goldman Sachs, Peabody Energy, and UnitedHealth Group. These groups are responsible for a lot of the woes that Americans are feeling right now.

Essential Equipment for Caring for Your Dog
As pet parents, we all want the very best for our four-legged friends. There's nothing we wouldn't do for them. But to give your pet the very best possible care, sometimes we need a little extra outside help.
If you're wondering how you can provide your furry friend with the best care in the world, the best place to start is with the right equipment. In no particular order, here is a list of the essential equipment to caring for your pet.
- Collar and Leash
These are some of the most important pieces of equipment every dog and dog-owner need, and they can be as fancy or simple as you like. The only things the collar really needs to have are your pet's dog license, identification tag and your name and phone number. This way, if your puppy ever gets lost, someone will be able to figure out where they belong. The leash, of course, is essential for taking your dog out for walks.
- Crate
These come in all sorts of sizes and can be made out of many different materials to suit your needs. Whatever type you choose, they're an essential tool for times when you need to keep your new best friend contained and housetrained. Make sure to pick a crate or containment area big enough for your pet to stand up, turn around, lie down and stretch in.
- Dog Bed
It's crucial for your dog to be able to sleep comfortably at night so they'll be happier and healthier overall. Just like crates, beds come in a wide variety of sizes and styles depending on your pet's individual needs. You might choose a more durable bed if your pet has a tendency to chew on everything, or a kind that's easier to wash if they're still being housetrained.
- Food and Water Dishes
It goes without saying that food and water dishes play an important role in your pet's eating routines. They teach your pet where they can expect to find food and also help you keep their food contained to one single place. These can be as simple or as fancy as you like. As long as they get the job done, your dog won't care what they look like.
- Grooming Tools
Grooming is an important part of your pet's life. It's great training for them to learn how to behave during the process, and it's also a way to make sure they're always looking their best. A few of the grooming tools you should have on hand include:
- Bristle Brush
- Shampoo and Conditioner
- Towels
While washing a dog's fur might be the first thing that comes to mind when we think of grooming, it's also important to remember the little details like nail care. Nail care is an essential part of maintaining your pet's health and also maintaining the health of your home's floors. A sturdy pair of nail clippers is an indispensable tool to caring for your pet.
- Toys
Your new best friend is going to need plenty of exercise. But nobody ever said that exercise had to feel like work. Why not invest in a few fun toys for your puppy to play with? That way, the two of you can burn off some energy and get your exercise together. As an added bonus, toys are a perfect way to distract your pet from chewing on other things like clothes and furniture.
- GoPetie
Never heard of GoPetie? There's no time like the present to get started with it. It's a mobile app that lets pet owners and their pets connect with other pet owners and their pets. As a proud dog parent, you can do things like set up play dates for pets, post adorable photos of your puppy, and report missing pets and much more.
Don't Miss a Single Pet Essential
There are many more supplies and tools that are fantastic aids when it comes to caring for your pet. Did we miss any that you could never get along without? Let us know below.

Posted December 4, 2014
Quick quiz. Pignoletto is:
A. An opera by Giuseppe Verdi
B. A fairy-tale puppet that magically becomes a little boy
C. A sketch from The Muppet Show
D. An Italian grape variety
The correct answer is none of the above.
Until very recently, Pignoletto was the name of a white grape variety associated with Emilia Romagna in central Italy. Though it is not a household name, Pignoletto is well respected in its native region. Several years ago, DNA analysis showed Pignoletto to be genetically identical to Grechetto, a better known variety found mostly in Umbria. (To be more precise, Pignoletto is the same as Grechetto di Todi, aka Grechetto Gentile.)
Pignoletto's main claim to fame, since 2010, has been the Colli Bolognesi Classico Pignoletto DOCG, a denomination located just west of Bologna that annually produces about 5,000 cases of white wine containing a minimum of 95 percent Pignoletto. Besides that DOCG, five DOCs in Emilia Romagna (Colli Bolognesi, Colli d'Imola, Colli di Rimini, Modena, and Reno) and two IGPs (Emilia and Rubicone) have been making varietal Pignoletto wines.
That is all about to change, however.
Producers in Emilia Romagna have decided that "Pignoletto" works better as the name of a Grechetto-based wine from a historic area than as a synonym of Grechetto that just anyone can use. This is analogous (on a much smaller scale) to the situation producers of Prosecco dealt with a few years ago, when Prosecco was a grape name that anyone could use—and did, in other parts of the world. In the latter case, they changed the name of the Prosecco grape to Glera and created a new Prosecco DOC, thereby restricting the use of the word Prosecco to the boundaries of that denomination. In Emilia Romagna, the plan is to stop calling this grape Pignoletto, referring to it instead by the more recognizable name Grechetto.
At the same time, the use of the name Pignoletto will be limited to its historical home by establishing a new denomination, the Pignoletto DOC. (Pignoletto is apparently the name of a tiny frazione in the commune of Monteveglio in Bologna province, within the new zone, although it is too small to appear on Google Maps.) Approval has already been granted for this in Rome, and the Ministry of Agriculture has issued a decree of transitory protection. Thus, it is now illegal for anyone outside the boundaries of the denomination to use the name Pignoletto on a wine label.
According to producer Anselmo Chiarli of Chiarli 1860 and Cleto Chiarli (importer for Lambrusco: Dalla Terra) in Modena, this is simply a matter of bringing some rationality to the naming of the wine, which has suffered from a lack of identity among consumers. Consolidating all the Grechetto-based wines of the region into a single DOC with one set of rules, he says, brings more transparency and truthfulness to the wine. Chiarli sees a positive future for Pignoletto once the more logical labeling removes a lot of consumer confusion.
Beginning with the 2014 harvest, the only wines labeled as Pignoletto should be from either the renamed and enlarged Colli Bolognesi Pignoletto DOCG or the Pignoletto DOC. (The former Colli Bolognesi Classico Pignoletto DOCG has been resized to include all the area of the new DOC; the original boundaries will continue to define a Classico subzone.) The Pignoletto DOC will incorporate the varietal Grechetto wines of the other Emilia Romagna denominations—formerly labeled as either Pignoletto or sometimes Rébola. Pignoletto DOC wines can be still, sparkling, late harvest, or passito, all with a minimum of 85 percent Grechetto. There are three subzones, corresponding to three of the existing denominations: Colli d'Imola, Modena, and Reno. No particular minimum aging is required for any of the styles.
Chiarli estimates that there is about 600 hectares (1,500 acres) of Pignoletto vineyards currently in the denomination, with more being planted, and that the current production for the new DOC may be up to 90,000 hectoliters (1,000,000 cases).
Because it can be made into a variety of styles, Pignoletto's fingerprint is a bit blurry. As with many a grape variety, yield is everything; if kept low, the wines can show wonderful white floral aromas, ripe apple-y fruit, and crisp acidity. This acidity also makes it perfect for sparkling wines and, when left on the vine, impressive as a dessert wine.

Hockey: Impressive win for Wapping men
PUBLISHED: 12:00 07 November 2018
Wapping's men produced a five-star display to see off Saffron Walden in East league Premier A.
Full of confidence after winning their previous three matches, they survived an early spell of pressure from the home side.
And Wapping then began to dictate play with excellent passing and movement, breaking the deadlock when Ollie Bull latched on to a loose ball to fire home from close range.
The second goal was the pick of the bunch, as Jonny Madill finished off a well-worked two-touch move through middle with a shot on the turn from the top of the D.
Two more goals followed in quick succession before the break, as Tom Sibley fired home short corner and Joe Chedd showed quick reactions at close range to tap in.
A fifth goal arrived soon after the restart as Gaston Golstein tapped in at the far post, but as the half wore on, Walden sat deeper in defence to limit the damage while looking to counter.
Wapping will expect a sterner test when they welcome St Albans seconds for a top-of-the-table clash this weekend.
The seconds lost 5-3 to East London, with goals from Alain Trail, Bobby Watson and Toussaint Wattine, but the thirds beat Norwich City 2-0 as Martin Holden-White and Chris Holland struck.
Jon Broomfield (2), Tarim Chana and Will Taylor netted as the fourths beat Chelmsford seconds 4-3, while Harry Travers and Tom Hammond bagged braces in the fifth team's 5-1 win over Redbridge.
Mark Rigby was also on target in that win, while Tim Alexander, Fareed Anees and Dave Charlesworth goals saw the sixth team to a 3-2 success over Crostyx seconds.
The sevenths drew 2-2 with their Redbridge rivals, as Tom Griffiths and Jonny Ellis netted, and the eighths had a 1-1 draw with Southend seconds as Joe de Greco struck.
The ninths beat East London sevenths 2-1, thanks to Sam Uden and Alex Van Millingen goals, but the 10ths lost 4-0 to Saffron Walden fifths and the 11th team went down 3-1 at Thurrock seconds, where Saad Ghuri got their solitary goal.

The second half of the season is proving tough for Toro Rosso and Williams, who are doing their best to stop losing ground to its main rivals.
Williams' search for performance continues, as it battles over fourth place in the championship with the other Mercedes-powered team - Force India.
Having struggled to get additional performance from updates this season, the team soldiered on in Belgium using all the components we've seen so far.
However, one thing that was was missing on the FW38 was the winglet usually mounted astride the airbox. It's believed this winglet was used to clear up airflow that would otherwise be destructive to the rear wing.
With the new wing design not operating as expected since its introduction in Baku, it seems the team have highlighted the airbox winglet as a potential problem, especially in transient conditions.
Toro Rosso
Toro Rosso had a huge package of parts that amounted to a B-Spec at the last race in Germany. However, the team wasn't happy with the overall results, expecting a leap in performance in the same realm as Force India made at Barcelona.
At Spa the team wanted to re-balance the car, planning to run its low-downforce rear wing (above), which features shorter chord flaps, set at a much shallower angle, and only two of the displaced endplate louvres STR pioneered this season.
In order to balance things up, the new front wing's upper flap was cut down to take some load off the front end (upper arrow), whilst the tip was also revised in order to change how the Y250 vortex forms below (lower arrow).
As part of the update in Germany the team reduced the number of vortex generators on the sidepod's leading edge by one, owing to the use of the conjoined vertical airflow conditioner, which arches over to meet with the sidepod's shoulder.
However, for Belgium the team went one step further, removing the other vortex generator in the hopes of changing the sidepod's aerodynamic operating window.

Once upon a time, Ashton Kutcher was married to Demi Moore. They got married in 2005 and their divorce was finalized in November 2013. Now, Kutcher reveals that he went on an extreme fast after the breakup while on a "really spiritual" seven-day trip to Big Sky, Montana.
"Right after I got divorced, I went to the mountains for a week by myself," he said on Dax Shepherd's Armchair Expert podcast. "I did no food, no drink—just water and tea. I took all my computers away, my phone, my everything... I just had a notepad, and a pen, and water and tea—for a week."
Kutcher says he practiced tai chi during his retreat, which he admits he has no formal training in, and he credits that with helping him navigate the hallucinations he started to have early on. Still, Kutcher says his trip was "kind of awesome." But, if he did it again, he says he'd "find some way to get some nutrients" into his body.
Going without any food for an entire week is a dangerous choice for many people, and it's not the same as intermittent fasting, which involves short-term, non-consecutive fasts. "There is no benefit with doing something like this after a major life shift," metabolic specialist Fatima Cody Stanford, M.D., M.P.H., M.P.A., instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and obesity medicine physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, tells SELF.
Your body is in-tune with the stressors you go through and people may gain or lose weight (often without realizing it) in response to a major change like divorce, Dr. Stanford says. So you may notice your eating or sleeping habits and your weight naturally fluctuate during an intense time. For most people, those things go back to normal as you work through whatever's going on. But if you find that this stress is making it harder for you to live your daily life, it's worth checking in with a mental health professional.
But in situations like this, you shouldn't go out of your way to deprive yourself of food for a long period of time—especially not to the point where you're hallucinating. Not only can a starvation diet like this be triggering for someone with a history of disordered eating, it's also just straight up dangerous.
After you've been fasting for a while, it's pretty likely that you'll also start to feel weak, dizzy, and disoriented thanks to having low blood sugar, Gina Keatley, a certified dietitian nutritionist practicing in New York City, tells SELF. At this point, you really should get something to eat. "While the person likely feels poorly immediately, if they respond by properly feeding themselves at the sign of symptom onset, they will likely not have any long-term effects," Dr. Stanford says.
But if you don't eat something, you could have seizures and even lose consciousness. Everyone's threshold for when they would start to experience symptoms after going without food is different, Dr. Stanford says. Some people might feel them after 24 hours while others might take several days.
And what about those hallucinations? Well, they happen because your body needs energy in the form of glucose (i.e. sugar) to help fuel your brain and other organs, Dr. Stanford explains. "When people fast, especially for lengthy periods of time, the brain has to pull from other sources to fuel itself," she says. Those sources include fat and ketones (byproducts of your body breaking down fat for energy), and that can lead to hallucinations if you don't take in enough or any food, she says.
When you fast for a long time, your body can deplete its muscle stores in response to the lack of energy from food, Keatley says. In an effort to conserve energy, your body will also use fewer calories and, therefore, need fewer calories in return. So your resting metabolic rate, the calories you need to maintain yourself, decreases, she explains. As a result, if you eat the same way as you did before your fast, you may find that you gain weight more easily than you did in the past, Keatley says. Luckily, this effect is usually temporary.
"In healthy people, especially ones who are strong or have a lot of body fat, there most likely isn't permanent damage that would occur without food for one week if they are staying hydrated," Beth Warren, R.D.N., founder of Beth Warren Nutrition and author of Living A Real Life With Real Food, tells SELF. But that doesn't mean that it's something anyone should actually try.
If you're dealing with a big emotional moment in your life, it's definitely good to take time to care for yourself. But it's best to opt for an activity that's actually safe and helpful in order to work through it, possibly with the guidance of a therapist if that's an option available to you.

Research Interests
Theoretical Chemistry, Molecular Dynamics of Chemical Reactions in Liquids, Theory of Energy Transfer and Relaxation in the Condensed Phase, Computational Methods Development
The research activity in our group is focused on the theoretical study of the microscopic dynamics of chemical reactions in the condensed phase. This includes chemical reactions in bulk solution and at surfaces. The major goal is to understand the dynamic structural and energetic changes in the medium that help drive the chemical reaction, as well as the way in which the medium changes the intrinsic chemical forces from their bare gas-phase values. To do this we use a variety of computer simulation methods and powerful multiprocessing workstations. Molecular dynamics simulation is used to reveal time-dependent motion and energy flow in the solvent and the reagents for chemical reactions in solution, and Monte Carlo simulation is used to understand equilibrium properties of the system. An important aspect of the approach is a close tie with experimental results, in particular, time-resolved spectroscopy and kinetic measurements. During the last few years, the research efforts have been focused on the study of chemical dynamics at fluid interfaces, including liquid/vapor, liquid/liquid and liquid/solid interfaces. This research has been motivated by the fundamental and practical importance of these systems, by a wealth of experimental data generated using new techniques and by the fact that very little has been done in this area to facilitate a theoretical understanding at the molecular level.
An important part of our research effort is directed toward the development of new simulation techniques. In particular, there is a need for improved methods for studying electronic transitions in solution and in surface reactions, and more efficient techniques for the simulation of complex macromolecular systems. Other areas include the development of simple analytical models that are able to capture the essence and important physical properties of the system, in addition to providing a simple language to describe the complex data (and graphic images) that the computer can provide.

Baker Elementary School staff members, students and Cobb County School District employees joined by Superintendent Chris Ragsdale declared Baker's zSpace STEM Lab a reality with a ribbon-cutting ceremony December 7.
It is the first zSpace STEM lab launched in the district. Baker staff members first began exploring a way to incorporate virtual reality into a school setting last year. However, it was a district-wide Science, Technology, Engineering and Math event that sparked the school's pursuit of a virtual reality learning experience using zSpace, which was set up as a demo at the STEM conference.
A Cobb Tank grant valued at $9,000 partially funded Baker's zSpace STEM Lab. The Baker School family came together to raise the additional funds to complete the project. Baker Principal Alison Broughton largely credited the school's student council for their fundraising efforts as well as donations by community partners. Each zSpace unit costs $5,000.
Because it was a team effort by the school family to fund the STEM lab, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was streamed live so staff and students could watch.
With plans to add two more units, Baker now has 10 zSpace units set up to allow students to bring lessons off the pages of textbooks and examine them in a computer-generated space.
During the STEM Lab's grand opening, community members, school staff and even Superintendent Ragsdale slipped on black glasses to virtually step into the learning space.
"I think it is going to accelerate the STEM program and transform our STEM education," said Broughton.
The STEM Lab is already creating excitement among Baker students.
One Baker fourth grader, who spoke during the ceremony, described the new zSpace as the "ultimate learning experience." When introducing the Superintendent, a fifth grade student referred to the lab as "Baker's greatest achievement yet."
In addition to the daily use of the STEM lab during school hours, students in the After School Program (ASP) will also have the opportunity to don the virtual reality glasses.
Kimberly Hutcheson, an ASP director at Baker, gave an example using butterflies of why the virtual learning experience fascinates students.
When students study the lifecycle of butterflies, they don't have to wait until spring brings good weather to release the butterflies that they watched slowly mature in their classroom. In the virtual space, students can slow down the butterfly's lifecycle to discover information, which they may not have seen using a real butterfly.
"It is so powerful and so engaging for our students," said Broughton. "It is just an instructional tool, but we do think it is going to enhance the students' education."

Taylor Swift Faces Adversity from Triple J and Twitter Hackers
Shake Hacking Off
As far as the Triple J business goes, the station very openly and vehemently declared that Swift would be banned from the countdown less than an hour before it went live. "Even after all the tweets, the think-pieces, the hipster lulz, the corporate intervention and heavy gif usage, Shake it Off still didn't get nearly enough votes to be at the top of the Hottest 100," claimed Triple J. Allegedly, if the BuzzFeed-led campaign had even considered valid by Triple J, Shake It Off would have only reached the number 12 spot on the countdown.
Meanwhile, Swifts Twitter account was targeted by a hacker yesterday, who posted a series of tweets through her account, including one that encouraged users to follow an account under the name '@Lizzard'. Said user claimed to be the leader of Lizard Squad, as well as other hacking groups such as Anonymous and LulzSec. I'm no hacking expert, but I'd say the likelihood of all three of those groups being headed by one individual, and an individual who thinks that hacking into Taylor Swift's Twitter in order to claim to be her boyfriend is worthy use of his time is highly unlikely.
The Tweets were removed in a matter of minutes, but not before Lizard Squad nemesis Brian Krebs caught a screenshot of the shenanigans and posted it on his own account. This is the largest hacker infraction Twitter has weathered thus far, with Swift's page being the 4th largest on the site, behind Barack Obama, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry. In that order. Ascending order.
Swift's Instagram account was also targeted, leading Swift to use her Tumblr account to let her fans know what was going on. "Twitter is deleting the hacker tweets and locking my account until they can figure out how this happened and get me new passwords. Never a dull moment." She wrote, following it up with a hashtag reading "hackers gonna hack hack hack hack hack" in a reference to Shake It Off. Addressing the hacker claims that they had nude images to circulate, Swift said "Psssh you'd love that wouldn't you! Have fun photoshopping cause you got NOTHING."
