Biography Details
Painter, Photographer and installation artist. Obtained his BFA from New World School of the Arts at University of Florida in 1997 and a MFA also from the University of Florida in 2000. He is the recipient of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award Grant, the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Award Grant, New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) Artist Fellowship: Painting, and a fellow of the smARTpower program – a community-based art initiative of the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the Department of State of the United States. His work is featured in the permanent collections of The Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC; The Brooklyn Museum in New York; El Museo del Barrio in New York; the Newark Museum in New Jersey, United States and at Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico in San Juan, Puerto Rico. His work has been shown in both solo and group exhibits in Puerto Rico, the United States, Brazil, France, Slovenia, Rusia and Mexico, among others. His work addresses both playful and painful exchanges between the United States and Puerto Rico, questioning a colonial relationship that exists to present day, and problematizing the space between the two cultures.
I feel it's my responsibility to make work about things that I'm passionate about. I'm passionate about our history and culture, and also about human rights and social justice. But it doesn't mean that I want to make didactic political work. History is full of contradictions and complexities. This is what makes it interesting. I'm particularly interested in how our visual history has informed (and misinformed) our consciousness about the Puerto Rican / Latino imaginary. My work often intervenes in that history, organizing images from past and present into new layers that challenge old, persistent narratives.

Körners Vormittag ist der Titel der einzigen Komödie von Friedrich Schiller, die er zum 31. Geburtstag seines Freundes Christian Gottfried Körner verfasste. Das Werk entstand vermutlich zwischen dem 5. Juni und dem 2. Juli 1787.
Zu Lebzeiten Schillers wurde der zunächst noch titellose Text nicht publiziert und erst 1862 von Carl Künzel unter dem Titel Ich habe mich rasieren lassen veröffentlicht.

Die für den Hausgebrauch bestimmte possenhafte Gelegenheitsdichtung parodiert den Dresdner Kreis um Körner und dessen Neigung, begonnene Arbeiten nicht oder nur sehr mühsam zu beenden.
Sie zeigt eine gesellige Phase aus Schillers Leben und dokumentiert zugleich ein Stück Alltagsgeschichte des späten 18. Jahrhunderts.

Inhalt

Das kurze Stück präsentiert einen Ausschnitt aus dem Leben des notorisch überlasteten Oberkonsistorialrats Körner, der anfangs in seinem Studierzimmer in Schlafrock und Pantoffeln zu sehen ist und an einem Manuskript arbeiten will.
Erleichtert, den Vormittag für sich zu haben, ruft er seinen Diener Gottlieb herbei, der ihn rasieren soll. Doch unentwegt klopft es an der Tür, Lieferanten, Schuster, Schneider, Stadtrichter und andere treten auf, bedrängen ihn mit Fragen und Angeboten, verwickeln ihn in hektische Gespräche und lenken ihn ab.

Gleich zu Beginn erscheint Schiller, fragt nach dem Manuskript Raphael (Raphaels Schreiben an Julius) für seine philosophischen Briefe, findet auf dem Schreibtisch aber nur einen unvollständigen Satz. Auf seine Frage "Wo geht's denn fort?" antwortet der entnervte Körner: "Das ist alles."

Im ständigen Wechsel der Figuren verfliegt die Zeit. Körner versucht vergeblich, sich verleugnen zu lassen, seine resolute Frau Minna verteilt Ohrfeigen, mahnt zur Eile und erinnert ihn an eine Sitzung. Gegen Mittag endlich wähnt er sich kurz allein und will seine Hose anziehen, um ins Konsistorium zu eilen, wird dabei aber von Dorchen beobachtet, die schockiert ist und schreiend aus dem Raum läuft. Schließlich ist es ein Uhr, Körner hat die Sitzung versäumt. Minna, Schiller, Dorchen und Huber rufen im Chor, was er denn in Gottes Namen den ganzen Vormittag getan habe. Körner setzt sich in Pose und antwortet: "Ich habe mich rasieren lassen."

Entstehung und Veröffentlichung

Da die Flucht der Gräfin de La Motte am 5. Juni 1787 nach England an einer Stelle des Stückes als Neuigkeit erzählt wird ("Daß die La Motte echappiert ist, weißt du."), muss Schiller die betreffende Aussage danach (Terminus post quem) geschrieben und das Werk bis zum 31. Geburtstag Körners fertiggestellt haben.

Der Autor hatte ihm auch in den Jahren zuvor literarische Geburtstagsgeschenke gemacht. 1785, kurz nachdem sie sich kennengelernt hatten, verfasste Schiller das konventionelle Gelegenheitsgedicht Unserm theuren Körner.
Ein Jahr später entwarf er 13 Federskizzen, die sich auf Alltagssituationen bezogen, von Kommentaren Ludwig Ferdinand Hubers ergänzt wurden und als Avanturen des neuen Telemachs oder Exsertionen Körners in Form einer gebundenen Festzeitung überreicht wurden.
Das Stück wurde vermutlich am 2. Juli 1787 im Hause Körners aufgeführt, Schiller war nicht nur Darsteller seiner eigenen Person, sondern auch des Seifenbekannten, während Dora Stock (Dorchen), Minna, Huber und Körner sich selbst darstellten.

Nach dem Tode ihres Mannes verwahrte Maria Körner die Handschrift zunächst, veräußerte sie dann aber 1837 dem Autographenhändler Carl Künzel unter der Bedingung, er möge entweder das ganze Heft oder die Passagen "vernichten, die irgendeine Nuance von Schatten auf Koerner's oder Schiller's Charakter werfen." Künzel sagte zu, indem er dies und einen persönlichen Schwur auf der letzten Seite niederschrieb: "Dieß schwöre ich zu thun, so mir Gott beistehe. Amen."

Etwa dreißig Jahre später kam es zu einer Debatte in der Allgemeinen Zeitung, in deren Verlauf man Künzel beschuldigte, der Welt den Komödiendichter Schiller vorzuenthalten. Wegen der zunehmenden Belastungen entschloss er sich endlich, das Werk zu veröffentlichen und wählte dafür den Titel Ich habe mich rasieren lassen. Als Karl Goedeke die Posse in den vierten Band seiner Gesamtausgabe aufnahm, wählte er den heute noch gängigen Titel.

Hintergrund

Mit seinem kurzen Stück parodierte Schiller den Dresdner Kreis um Körner. Kunst und Philosophie treffen unvermittelt auf allerlei Widrigkeiten des Alltags. So will Huber aus seinem Aufsatz über die Verschwörung des Volkstribuns Cola di Rienzo vortragen, wird allerdings vom dazwischenredenden Schuster unterbrochen, der Körner fragt, ob er hohe oder niedrige Absätze wünsche. Hochfahrenden philosophischen Plänen steht das Durcheinander des täglichen Lebens gegenüber, das im Kommen und Gehen zahlreicher Menschen im Chaos zu versinken droht und in der unordentlichen Wohnung mit der herumliegenden Wäsche und den unbezahlten Rechnungen keine Ruhe findet.

Mit seiner Posse bezog Schiller sich auf den von Körner erwarteten Beitrag zu den Philosophischen Briefen, die Ende April 1786 im dritten Heft der Thalia erschienen waren und fortgesetzt werden sollten. Ein Bruchstück des zugesagten Briefes konnte schließlich Anfang Mai 1789 veröffentlicht werden, war aber vermutlich größtenteils von Schiller selbst verfasst worden.
Deutlich erkennbar spielte Schiller auf Körners Schwäche an, Zusagen rechtzeitig zu erfüllen. Seine Passivität und Trägheit, seine "Trödeley", wie Körner es selbst nannte und beklagte, war auch von anderen Zeitgenossen bespöttelt worden.

Der Aufbau des Stücks ist an die Proverbes dramatiques angelehnt, Einakter mit pointiert-witzigem Stil, die in Frankreich während der Regentschaft des Sonnenkönigs aufkamen und eine These oder bestimmte Lebenshaltung im Verlauf eines Intrigenspiels präsentierten. Sie wurden zunächst lediglich in aristokratischen Salons, später hingegen auch in öffentlichen Theatern am Boulevard aufgeführt.
Die Stücke schöpften ihre Themen bevorzugt aus der Moralistik, aber auch dem aktuellen politischen Tagesgeschehen, aus Pressemeldungen und selbst Klatschgeschichten und stellten ein Genre dar, das der junge Hugo von Hofmannsthal in seinen lyrischen Dramen Gestern sowie Der Tor und der Tod erneut aufgriff.

Mag Schiller auch keine weiteren eigenen Komödien mehr verfasst haben, blieb dieses Stück nicht seine einzige Erfahrung mit komischen Stoffen. Auf Wunsch des Herzogs Karl August bearbeitete und übersetzte er später zwei Komödien von Louis-Benoît Picard: Encore des Ménechmes (zunächst Die neuen Ménächmen, dann Der Neffe als Onkel) und Médiocre et rampant (zunächst Mittelmaß und Kriecherei oder wie man nach oben kommt, dann Der Parasit oder Die Kunst, sein Glück zu machen). An wenigen Stellen verstärkte er die komischen Effekte, verbesserte unwesentliche Flüchtigkeitsfehler und übertrug das in  Alexandrinern verfasste Original in den bürgerlichen Konversationston. Die relative Bearbeitungstreue ist allerdings weniger philologischer Akribie als schlichtem Zeitmangel zu verdanken. So schrieb er an Körner, Picards Ausführung sei zu trocken, eine weitergehende Bearbeitung hätte ihn aber über Gebühr und für eine im Grunde zweifelhafte Arbeit belastet.

Besonderheiten und Rezeption
In dem Text finden sich eine Reihe von Interjektionen wie etwa "Schicke!", "Allzeit!" und "Natur!", die lexikalisch nicht verzeichnet sind und auf eine Privatsprache innerhalb des Kreises hindeuten. Schillers Freund Johann Wolfgang von Goethe charakterisierte eine solche Privatsprache als "eine Art Gauneridiom, welches, indem es die Eingeweihten höchst glücklich macht, den Fremden unbemerkt bleibt, oder bemerkt, verdrießlich wird."

Im Gegensatz zu den älteren Typenkomödien sind die geschilderten "Laster" eher der Regelfall und nicht mehr die Ausnahme und dienen als Strategien, den Malaisen des Alltags zu entkommen. Vor allem das Geld spielt eine zentrale Rolle in Körners Vormittag, geht es doch unentwegt um bestimmte Rechtsgeschäfte wie Kaufen und Verkaufen, Leihen und Erben. Dass die materiellen Verhältnisse nicht nur den bürgerlichen Alltag, sondern auch die hohe Kunst beeinflussen, wusste auch Schiller, der in Körner einen großzügigen Mäzen gefunden hatte.

Noch vor dem Druck der Komödie entspann sich in der Fachwelt eine kontroverse Diskussion über ihre Bedeutung.
Alfred von Wolzogen sprach vom "einzigen Original-Lustspiel" Schillers, das einen geschlossenen Blick auf seine "heiter(e) Laune" biete, mit dem sich das Bild des Dichters vervollständigen lasse. Kuno Fischer hingegen, der nach zentralen Elementen des Komischen im Werk Schiller suchte, warnte vor einer übertriebenen Einschätzung. Die Posse sei "nichts weiter als ein artiger häuslicher Scherz", den der gut gelaunte Schiller "mit fröhlicher Hand entworfen" habe.

Während Maria Körner befürchtete, das harmlose Stück könne Schillers Ansehen schädigen und ihn desavouieren, hielt David Friedrich Strauß derartige Befürchtungen angesichts seiner Größe und Bedeutung für abwegig. Seit seiner "Verklärung" bleibe "Schiller auch im Schlafrock immer Schiller". An seiner "hehren Gestalt" schaue die Welt "gläubig und verehrend" empor. Auch das Kleine sei wertvoll, zumal es schön sei, den Dichter als einen Menschen zu sehen, der sich "im engen Kreis unter Angehörigen und Freunden ...gemühtlich" bewege und auch an "kleinen Scherzen und Neckereien seine Freude" habe.

Carl Künzel reagierte auf die öffentlichen Auseinandersetzungen um das Stück, indem er den Erstdruck mit Ein dramatischer Scherz untertitelte und in der Ausgabe der Neckar-Zeitung vom 16. Januar 1863 schrieb, das Stück sei künstlerisch bedeutungslos und hätte "selbst als Gelegenheitswerk nicht den mindesten Wert", wenn es nicht aus Schillers Feder stammen und sich nicht auf Körner beziehen würde.
Diese Einschätzung prägte die Rezeption, bis es in jüngster Zeit zu Versuchen kam, das Werk als literarisch eigenständig zu würdigen und im literaturgeschichtlichen Kontext zu interpretieren.

Für Grit Dommes deuten sich in jenen Passagen, die Körners Entscheidungsschwächen und andere persönliche Probleme ausmalen, bereits die Neurosen des modernen Individuums an. Die Widersprüche zwischen ihm und den gesellschaftlichen Forderungen seien äußerst kompliziert und könnten sich deswegen nicht durch einfache moralische Prinzipien überwinden lassen. Das Carpe diem des Anfangs, die Zeit des Vormittags sinnvoll zu nutzen, erweist sich als so trügerisch, dass Körner ihm am Schluss nur mit "pervertiertem Selbstbewusstsein" begegnen kann und in bedeutender Pose das Unbedeutende vorbringt: Mit seinem grotesken Hinweis auf die Rasur bestätigt er den Vorwurf der Zeitverschwendung, anstatt ihn zu entkräften.

British parliament votes in favour of bombing ISIS in Syria
Reuters , Thursday 3 Dec 2015
Britain's parliament voted on Wednesday to launch bombing raids against Islamic State in Syria, supporting Prime Minister David Cameron's case that the country needs to help destroy militants who are "plotting to kill us".
After more than 10 hours of tense debate, lawmakers voted in favour of air strikes, by 397 to 223. British Tornado GR4 bombers could leave an air base in Cyprus within hours to launch the country's latest military action in the Middle East.
Given Britain's diminished role on the world stage, the victory hands Cameron the chance to restore Britain's standing in global affairs. He had urged lawmakers not to turn their back on allies such as France in their time of need.
"Britain is safer tonight because of the decision that the House of Commons has taken," Foreign Minister Philip Hammond told Sky News.
Many British voters are wary of being dragged into another war in the Middle East. Some view Western intervention in Iraq and Libya as a failure that sowed chaos across the region and the news of the vote was met by howls of disgust by dozens of anti-war protesters demonstrating outside parliament.
But the Nov. 13 attacks on Paris that killed 130 people and were claimed by Islamic State have stiffened the resolve of some lawmakers and divided the opposition Labour Party, which convinced Cameron he could win the support of parliament for extending air strikes beyond Iraq.
Cameron said the more than four-year Syrian civil war could not be resolved by military action alone, but that the strikes would "degrade" Islamic State militants - which he said should be called Daesh.
Daesh is the pejorative word used by opponents or people who do not support Islamic State to refer to the militant group.
"These terrorists are plotting to kill us and to radicalise our children right now. They attack us because of who we are, not because of what we do," Cameron told a packed House of Commons, where many lawmakers sat on steps or stayed standing.
"The question is this: do we work with our allies to degrade and destroy this threat, and do we go after these terrorists in their heartlands, from where they are plotting to kill British people, or do we sit back and wait for them to attack us?"
Germany's parliament is also expected to vote on Friday in favour of joining the campaign against Islamic State, although only to provide military support for air strikes, not actually to take part in them.
British air strikes are unlikely to change the military balance, given the United States is already involved, but the vote handed Cameron the chance to show Britain's willingness to add to a Western consensus for taking the battle to militants in Syria.
Cameron said high-precision, laser-guided Brimstone missiles would help to make a real difference by hitting the de facto Islamic State capital of Raqqa and its oil-trading business.
France and the United States are already bombing Islamist militants in Syria, while Russia has bombed mainly other rebels, according to conflict monitors and Western officials, in an intervention launched on Sept. 30 to bolster its ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The West says Assad must go.
The vote also boosts Cameron after he suffered a humiliating 2013 parliamentary defeat over plans to bomb Assad's forces.
But it is a blow to the leader of Britain's main opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, who was against launching the air strikes.
Corbyn, a veteran anti-war campaigner who argued the bombing would be ineffective and kill civilians, was forced to allow his lawmakers to vote according to their conscience in order to quell a rebellion in his party over the military action.
Corbyn had hoped media reports that Cameron told Conservative lawmakers at a meeting late on Tuesday not to vote with the Labour leader "and a bunch of terrorist sympathisers" would harden opposition to the action.
But many of his party voted with the prime minister, a move which may bring into question Corbyn's leadership.
The British public is divided over launching the strikes, with a YouGov opinion poll showing voter support for action in Syria had fallen to the lowest level since September 2014, with 48 percent of respondents supporting strikes and 31 percent against.
Those opposed to air strikes recalled the events of 2003 when Britain helped the United States to invade Iraq after asserting - wrongly, as it later turned out - that dictator Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.
Julian Lewis, Conservative chairman of the Commons Defence Committee and a critic of extending air strikes to Syria, said the government was in denial about the effectiveness of bombing without deploying viable ground troops.
Lewis compared Cameron's assertion that there are as many as 70,000 moderate opposition fighters in Syria with the "dodgy dossier" on Iraq's military capabilities.
"Instead of dodgy dossiers, we now have bogus battalions of moderate fighters," he said.

Statement by United States Conference of Mayors President and Columbia (SC) Mayor Steve Benjamin in Support of El Paso Mayor Dee Margo
U.S. Conference of Mayors
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Below is a statement by United States Conference of Mayors President and Columbia (SC) Mayor Steve Benjamin in support of El Paso (TX) Mayor Dee Margo:
"Last night during his rally in El Paso, President Trump claimed that El Paso Mayor Dee Margo was 'full of crap' because he and other local officials have said that a border fence has not made a difference in reducing crime in the city.
"This is simply untrue. Credible statistics validated by the FBI and other local law enforcement officials show that El Paso has never been one of the nation's most dangerous cities and was a safe city long before any wall was built along the border. In fact, just last month Mayor Margo briefed the nation's mayors during the Conference's 87th Winter Meeting about the great progress the city has made with Mexico as one of the largest binational workforces in the Western Hemisphere—ushering in an era of exponential economic growth with over $82 billion in import/export trade.
"Public safety is the top priority for Mayors across this country. As the elected officials closest to the ground, we know firsthand what the security situation is in our cities. We make our decisions based on the facts and what we know to be true.
"Moreover, this kind of criticism only contributes to the further loss of civility in public discourse and prevents us from moving forward together to make our cities and our country stronger and more secure.
"Through the United States Conference of Mayors, we stand together in support of Mayor Margo. We appeal for a return to a respectful and far more productive discussion of the difficult issues confronting our cities and our nation at this time."
About The United States Conference of Mayors -- The U.S. Conference of Mayors is the official nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. There are nearly 1,400 such cities in the country today, and each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor.

Q: Meteor.js - node server security? So, today I have researched the security of node.js servers. As many of you may know they can give you a headache when it comes to security. So I have two questions:

*

*The only dependency a build meteor-server/package has is node. Does it have the same issues? I know node has it's own security features but are they enogh here?

*How can I make a server more secure? Is it the same as with node.js servers? And does somebody of you have a good resource on making node "safer"?
Thanks in advance!

Audi AG v. Mohamed Maan
The Complainant is Audi AG of Ingolstadt, Germany, represented by HK2 Rechtsanwälte, Germany.
The Respondent is Mohamed Maan of Enschede, The Netherlands, self-represented.
The disputed domain name <audi.press> is registered with Tucows Inc. (the "Registrar").
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on April 27, 2015. On April 27, 2015, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrar a request for registrar verification in connection with the disputed domain name. On April 27, 2015, the Registrar transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details.
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 May 4, 2015. On May 5, 2015, the Center received an unsolicited "amendment to the Complaint" from the Complainant by email and on the same day, the Center received the Respondent's filing in reply of the Complainant's unsolicited "amendment to the Complaint".
In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was May 24, 2015. The Response was filed with the Center on May 24, 2015.
The Center appointed Assen Alexiev as the sole panelist in this matter on June 9, 2015. 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.
Complainant is one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world and produces its cars globally, including in Germany, India and China. In 2014, it made worldwide deliveries of approximately 1,741,127 Audi cars.
The Complainant is the holder of a number of international trademark registrations for AUDI, including the following (the "AUDI trademark"):
- The word trademark AUDI with registration No. 000018812, registered as a Community trademark on May 26, 1998 for goods and services in International Classes 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 25, 27, 28 and 37;
- The word trademark AUDI with registration No.009930751, registered as a Community trademark on February 18, 2012 for goods and services in International Classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45; and
- The combined trademark AUDI and device, with registration No. 657259, registered as an International trademark on February 10, 1996 for goods and services in International Classes 2, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 37.
In 2014, Interbrand top global brands ranked the AUDI trademark as 45th among the hundred top global brands and estimated its value at about USD 9,831 million.
The disputed domain name was registered on March 12, 2015.
The Complainant points out that its history as a world famous manufacturer of cars reaches back for decades, and its trademarks belong to the globally best known trademarks, as most Internet users worldwide walk by the cars of the Complainant in their everyday life. The Complainant submits that it promotes its trademarks worldwide with innovative websites, TV spots or as a sponsor of sport clubs and events. The Complainant, its affiliated companies and authorized dealers run various websites under domain names that incorporate the AUDI trademark, such as <audi.de>, <audi.com>, <audi.us>, <audi.cn>, <myaudi.de>, <audi.ch>, <audi.it>, <audi-shop.de> or <audi.nl>.
The Complainant submits that the disputed domain name is identical to the AUDI trademark. Even if the ".press" generic Top Level Domain ("gTLD") is taken into account when determining similarity, the disputed domain name would still be confusingly similar to a high degree as "press" is merely descriptive and Internet users will expect a website related to Complainant, in particular as the second level domain is identical to the AUDI trademark.
According to the Complainant, the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name. There is no indication of the Respondent's use of, or demonstrable preparations to use the disputed domain name or a name corresponding to it in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services. The website under the disputed domain name displays a parking page provided by the hosting services provider, and the Respondent is not making any active use of the disputed domain name. According to the Complainant, the Respondent is not commonly known by the name "Audi", and no permission to use this name was granted by the Complainant to the Respondent.
The Complainant further contends that, having noticed that the Respondent had registered the disputed domain name, the Complainant's domain name portfolio manager approached the Respondent by email on March 12, 2015 with a request for the transfer of the disputed domain name to the Complainant. In its reply, the Respondent confirmed that it was owner of the disputed domain name and alleged that it was working on a "web showcase project" for an entity called "Arabische Urbane Democratisierende Instelling" (or "AUDI" in short). The Respondent stated that he was "happy to cooperate" and requested an offer of the Complainant. The Respondent again contacted the Complainant's service provider on March 18, 2015, asking if there was still interest in the disputed domain name. The Complainant then offered the Respondent to reimburse it with EUR 300 for its expenses in connection with the registration and transfer of the disputed domain name. The Respondent refused this offer, stating that it was only willing to give up the disputed domain name if the price would enable it to buy the domain name <araburban.org>, whose owners allegedly demanded a "considerably higher price". The Respondent concluded that he was "not willing to pay any penny extra to satisfy the wishes of a multi-billion dollar company." The Complainant then ceased the negotiations and did not contact the Respondent thereafter. Despite this, on March 23, 2015 the Respondent again approached the Complainant's service provider by email and offered to sell the disputed domain name in return for a 2 year lease of an Audi A7 car. The Complainant did not reply to this email. On March 24, 2015, the Respondent sent another unsolicited email, reducing its demand to an Audi A3 automobile.
The Complainant submits that searches made in major search engines for "Arabische Urbane Democratisierende Instelling" did not provide any results for any such organization, which made it likely that it did not exist and that this allegation of the Respondent was a mere pretext for the registration of the disputed domain name. The use of the acronym "AUDI" by such organization would infringe the Complainant's trademark and trade name rights.
The Complainant contends that the Respondent has registered and used the disputed domain name in bad faith. The Respondent must have had actual knowledge about the Complainant's trademarks when acquiring the disputed domain name. The email messages sent by the Respondent indicated that it had acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling the domain name registration to the Complainant for valuable consideration in excess of its documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the disputed domain name. According to the Complainant, there is no conceivable legitimate interest for the use of the disputed domain name by the Respondent, and any commercial use would necessarily infringe the AUDI trademark, being registered for all classes in many countries around the world and benefitting from a wide protection due to its strong reputation.
In its supplementary submission, the Complainant contends that after receiving the Complaint, the Respondent again contacted the Complainant on April 27, 2015, and demanded USD 1,500 for the transfer of the disputed domain name, stating that:
"[…] The organization l work for are not looking for the commotion that comes with such legal case, and l know for sure that AUDI AG does not want to appear in a negative way in the press (which you will if you proceed). A WIPO case by a single Panelist would cost you 1500 USD, we are willing to settle for that amount and spare you the troubles and negative press releases that will follow if AUDI AG bashes an Arabic organization that stands for minorities. […]"
The Complainant further submits that on May 4, 2015, the Respondent again contacted the Complainant and announced that it would request a three member panel to decide the dispute if the Complainant did not accept his proposal. According to the Complainant, these messages by the Respondent further documented the Respondent's bad faith. Threatening the Complainant with negative press in connection with demands exceeding the Respondent's out-of-pocket-costs evidenced the Respondent's repeated efforts to monetize the disputed domain name by all means, especially after a legitimate proceeding had been commenced against it.
The Respondent admits that the disputed domain name may cause some confusion in Internet users, but the Respondent was not going to advertise or market the website associated to the disputed domain name to the international community, and so it would not be noticed by anyone except the people who were actually looking to visit the Respondent's website, and all Internet users that visit this website would not expect anything other but the Respondent's website.
According to the Respondent, it is making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the disputed domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the AUDI trademark. The Respondent's website is offline, but this is a planned action and is necessary as the organization Arabische Urbane Democratisierende Instelling is "currently being set-up and working on final steps with its finances". The disputed domain name is going to be used as a press website for a local organization. The Respondent has looked at many other options for a domain name so that there would be no interference at all with the Complainant's AUDI trademarks, but all short phrased options were already taken.
The Respondent disputes the statements of the Complainant and submits that the latter was making an attempt at reverse domain name hijacking. The Respondent submits that it had no intention of using the disputed domain name in any commercial way and that it will not sell any goods on the associated website or market anything that involves cars. The Respondent alleges that for this reason it would not violate any trademarks, including the AUDI trademark. The Respondent also declares that it would not sell the disputed domain name in the future to any third party "regardless the size of the amount being offered".
The Respondent admits that it is not known by the name "Audi AG" or associated with the Complainant, but this did not mean that it could not register a domain name that involved the letter combination "AUDI", because the acronym of the organization "Arabische Urbane Democratisierende Instelling" was A.U.D.I.; many of the future visitors of the associated website were going to be old people with bad vision and movement problems, so typing and memorizing a long domain name such as <ArabischeUrbaneDemocratisierende-Instelling.com> would be difficult for them; the Complainant was indeed well known so all visitors looking for the Complainant's actual press website would not look for any other press website of the Complainant and would not encounter the Respondent's future website at the disputed domain name; and lastly, if the Complainant was really interested in the disputed domain name, it could have registered it in the sunrise period.
According to the Respondent, the main reason why there was no website at the disputed domain name because the website was still in development. Developing this website was a hard task as it was aimed at elder people speaking mostly Arabic, which complicated the development because there were translators working on the project who needed time to do their job, and because the architecture of the website was being optimized for elder people. The Respondent submits that it was not trying to set up a nonprofit organization website after the Complaint because the plan to launch such website was made long before the Complaint.
In response to the supplemental submission of the Complainant, the Respondent confirmed that it had sent the communications referred to by the Complainant, and stated that it was "not threatening anybody with negative press releases" but was "just simply pointing out something that is most-likely going to happen". The Respondent "merely gave the Complainant a heads-up of what may come, and as a nice gesture for them to prepare for the costs that this may bring with it". The Respondent also submits that it was the Complainant's service provider who first contacted the Respondent on March 19, 2015 and offered money for the transfer of the disputed domain name, which showed that it was the Complainant that was acting in bad faith. The Respondent declined the offer because the money that was offered was not enough to cover the expenses for the acquisition of another short domain name.
Pursuant to Policy, paragraph 4(a), the Complainant must prove each of the following to justify the transfer of the disputed domain name:
(i) the disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights;
(ii) the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name; and
(iii) the Respondent has registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith.
In this case, the Center has employed the required measures to achieve actual notice of the Complaint to the Respondent, in compliance with Rules, paragraph 2(a), and the Respondent was given a fair opportunity to present its case.
By Rules, paragraph 5(b)(i), it is expected of a respondent to: "[r]espond specifically to the statements and allegations contained in the complaint and include any and all bases for the Respondent (domain name holder) to retain registration and use of the disputed domain name…"
The Complainant has provided evidence and has thus established its rights in the AUDI trademark. This trademark has been used by the Complainant in many countries for a very long period of time and has become famous.
The Panel notes that a common practice has emerged under the Policy before the advent of the new gTLDs, namely to disregard in appropriate circumstances the gTLD section of domain names for the purposes of the comparison under the Policy, paragraph 4(a)(i). The Panel sees no reason not to follow the same approach here, so it will disregard the ".press" part of the disputed domain name. Therefore, the relevant part of the disputed domain name that has to be analyzed is its "audi" section, which is identical to the AUDI trademark.
The Respondent has alleged that Internet users would not be confused, as the Respondent would not advertise the disputed domain name, and it would not be noticed by anyone except the people who were actually looking to visit the Respondent's website. In this respect, the Panel notes that, as summarized in paragraph 1.2 of the WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions, Second Edition ("WIPO Overview 2.0"), "The threshold test for confusing similarity under the UDRP involves a comparison between the trademark and the domain name itself to determine likelihood of Internet user confusion. In order to satisfy this test, the relevant trademark would generally need to be recognizable as such within the domain name, […]. Application of the confusing similarity test under the UDRP would typically involve a straightforward visual or aural comparison of the trademark with the alphanumeric string in the domain name. […] The content of a website (whether it is similar to or different from the business of a trademark holder) would usually be disregarded in the threshold assessment of risk of confusing similarity under the first element of the UDRP". In view of this, the Panel is not convinced by the Respondent's comments and does not regard them as relevant in relation to the test of identity or confusing similarity. Moreover, as discussed below, the Respondent has provided no details or evidence about the nature and content of the website allegedly planned to be associated with the disputed domain name.
Therefore, the Panel finds that the disputed domain name is identical to the AUDI trademark in which the Complainant has rights.
The Complainant is required to make at least a prima facie showing that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. Once the Complainant makes such a showing, the Respondent may provide evidence to demonstrate that it has rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. The burden of proof, however, always remains on the Complainant to establish that the Respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. See paragraph 2.1 of the WIPO Overview 2.0.
The Complainant has contended that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name, stating that the Respondent is not affiliated to the Complainant and has never been authorized to use the name "AUDI", including as a domain name, that the Respondent is not commonly known by the disputed domain name, is not making a noncommercial or a fair use of it and is not using it in relation to the provision of a bona fide offering of goods or services. Thus, the Complainant has established a prima facie case that the Respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name.
The Respondent has alleged that it plans to use the disputed domain name for a legitimate noncommercial purpose – a press website of the organization called "Arabische Urbane Democratisierende Instelling" whose acronym was "A.U.D.I.", directed at elderly Arabic speakers. According to the Respondent, the website is still in development. The Respondent has not provided any evidence for the establishment and the existence of such organization or for its goals and plans for their achievement through the alleged website, and no explanation or evidence about the content and the design of the alleged website in development has been adduced. At the same time, there is a contradiction in the allegations of the Respondent, as it states that the planned website was intended to be a "press website" and at the same time alleges that it was intended to be used by elderly people speaking the Arabic language. In this situation, the Panel is not convinced by the explanations of the Respondent. Due to the lack of any evidence about the alleged nonprofit organization and about the alleged website, it appears more likely to the Panel that they do not exist. As contended by the Complainant, the references to such organization and its planned website are likely to have been used by the Respondent simply as a pretext to explain its actions, which more likely were made with other motives that have not been disclosed by the Respondent and may possibly be illegitimate, and may well include an attempt to extract benefit from the popularity of the AUDI trademark incorporated in the disputed domain name.
It is true that during the Sunrise Period trademark owners had an opportunity to register their marks in the ".press" space before domain names in that space became generally available on a first come, first served basis. This does not mean, however, that upon the expiration of the Sunrise Period non-trademark owners necessarily became entitled to register any available <trademark.press> domain names without regard for the UDRP.
Therefore, the Panel finds that the Respondent's allegations are not convincing and do not establish any rights or legitimate interests of the Respondent in the disputed domain name. As the Respondent has not put forward any other reasons why it should be regarded as having rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name, the Complainant's prima facie case has remained unrebutted.
Taking into account all the above, the Panel finds that the Respondent does not have rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name.
Paragraph 4(b) of the Policy lists four illustrative alternative circumstances that shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith by a respondent, namely:
(iv) by using the domain name, you have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to your web site 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 your website or location or of a product or service on your website or location."
The provisions of paragraph 4(b) of the Policy are without limitation, and bad faith registration and use may be found on grounds otherwise satisfactory to the Panel.
The AUDI trademark is well-known globally, and the Respondent has not disputed that it knew of the Complainant when it registered the disputed domain name. The disputed domain name is identical to the AUDI trademark, and the Respondent has not provided a credible explanation for its choice of domain name and for the need to register it. There is no evidence in the case file about the existence of the alleged organization "Arabische Urbane Democratisierende Instelling" or even for any attempts for its establishment. The contention of the Complainant that the Respondent has requested in exchange of the disputed domain name a two year lease of a Audi A7 car or even an Audi A3 car has not been disputed by the Respondent.
As discussed in the section on rights or legitimate interests, in the Panel's view in such circumstances it is more likely than not that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name not for the purposes of this purported organization, but for other purposes, including an attempt to extract benefit from the popularity of the AUDI trademark incorporated in the disputed domain name. Such a probability is further increased by the conduct of the Respondent following the attempt by the Complainant to obtain the disputed domain name from the Respondent, where the Respondent requested against the transfer of the disputed domain name a valuable consideration that exceeded many times the expenses of the Respondent related to the registration of the disputed domain name.
The actions of the Respondent following the submission of the Complaint, where it has threatened the Complainant with bad publicity if the Complainant did not accept the Respondent's offer to sell the disputed domain name for USD 1,500 do not speak in the Respondent's favor either, but further increase the probability discussed above. The Respondent has attempted to downplay its statements, but they are clear to the Panel. Saying that "l know for sure that AUDI AG does not want to appear in a negative way in the press (which you will if you proceed)" is nothing short of a threatening statement and an attempt to extract financial gain from the Complainant through this threatening statement.
The Respondent has not used the disputed domain name, as there is no active website associated to it. However, in view of the fact that the AUDI trademark is registered as a Community trademark for all classes of goods and services and in light of the circumstances of this case, the Panel cannot conceive of a good faith use of the disputed domain name by the Respondent (based in the Netherlands) that would not infringe the trademark rights of the Complainant in this trademark.
In these circumstances, the Panel is satisfied that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the Complainant for valuable consideration in excess of the Respondent's documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the disputed domain name, which supports a finding of registration and use of the disputed domain name in bad faith.
For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the disputed domain name <audi.press> be transferred to the Complainant.

Romy and me: Discovering Ireland's dog-friendly hotels
Can't bear to leave your beloved pet at home while you holiday? Ireland has some great dog-friendly hotels, as Bairbre Power (and her little Yorkie) discovered.

The sign inside the front door of The Twelve Hotel in Barna, Co. Galway, said it all – I only wish more Irish hotels would adopt such a pet-friendly policy.
https://www.independent.ie/life/travel/ireland/romy-and-me-discovering-irelands-dogfriendly-hotels-30454877.html
https://www.independent.ie/incoming/article30464186.ece/5c2bb/AUTOCROP/h342/Trisha1.jpg
"Dogs are welcome in this hotel...
"We never had a dog that smoked in bed and set fire to the blankets. We never had a dog that stole our towels and played the TV too loud, or had a noisy fight with his travelling companion.
"We never had a dog that got drunk and broke the furniture or abused our team members... So if your dog can vouch for you, you're welcome too."
The number of Irish hotels with pet-friendly policies is relatively small, but thankfully, it is growing.
In France, le petit chien is welcomed with open arms, from posh restaurants to top star hotels, even chic department stores, but in Ireland, the dog at your heel usually gets a dismissive 'mutt' look.
Lots of families wouldn't dream of celebrating big occasions without their adored family pet and it can be heartbreaking – and hugely expensive – to kennel them for summer holidays.
In our house, holidays in Ireland are planned around our VBF, Romy. Fun, faithful and always well behaved, our four year-old Yorkie loves the car and when she sees those weekend bags coming out, she emphatically books her place by leaping enthusiastically into the bag before there is even a toothbrush packed.
While this fast terrier loves her walkies around Dublin city centre, the best strolls we've enjoyed together have been on holidays, especially adventurous forest walks on a long lead.
Romy's latest rite of passage came last weekend when we explored sandy beaches together in Connemara. She raced along the water's edge, checked out the seaweed, surveyed the scenery and then revelled in our post-walk ritual of a 99 ice cream – rewarded with the tip of the cone.
Although Romy has a pet passport, after all that trouble, and expense, we still haven't found the ideal route to bring her to mainland Europe. So, for the moment, our terrier is staying on terra firma in Ireland and here are just some of the places we've discovered together.
Castlemartyr Resort, Co Cork
Why: It's like home away from home. The suites available for guests with dogs have their own private garden so you can watch TV or read indoors while doggie sunbathes in the sunken garden. There is a door from your garden leading out onto the estate so you don't have to keep going through the hotel.
Bow-wow factor: This five-star hotel welcomes any dog, regardless of size, weight or breed, as long as they are cute, adorable and well behaved. They won't be lonely and will be met, on arrival, by the hotel's resident Irish Setters, Earl and Countess. There are great walking trails and you can pop down to the local village or head for the local beach.
How: B&B rates per person are available from €180 per night plus €50 (per stay) for your dog. You need to contact the hotel directly to ensure availability of this room type.

Bow-wow factor: It's all about people and doggies unwinding together. You are greeted to the kingdom of Kerry with a welcome pack full of yummy goodies, including a pet toy, pet treat and clean-up bags.

See: tankardstown.ie Tel: 041 9824621
Killyhevlin Hotel, Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh

Bow-wow factor: Four-star comfort for doggie, who is allowed to stay in the room, but the welcome pack is for humans only.
How: There is a £45 fee for your dog to stay, which covers a deep-clean after your departure.

It was a phenomenal night of family entertainment in Battle Memorial Hall on Saturday night as the students from the Hastings based Extreme World Wrestling Academy put on a show that had the capacity audience on the edge of their seats – and even out of them!
The packed bill mixed students of the EWW academy, that trains at a gym on Hastings' Castleham Estate twice a week, with some of the more established names on the UK Wrestling scene. And the students certainly brought their 'A' game and took stepping up to the big time in their stride, showing courage, passion and determination to be the very best.
From spectacular leaps from the top rope of the ring, to bone crunching clashes and agonising moves designed to wear their opponent down the night had everything any wrestling fan could wish for including a dramatic final bout that had a unique twist in the tail.
The 'thunder from down under' returned after a defeat from Skarlett to make an example out of one of her students, but it was no easy ride. Although Lupo is one of the smallest of competitors, he proved exactly why he is one of N-EWW's hottest prospects and gave everything he had and almost got the biggest win in his young career.
The Australian veteran's power was too much for the young lad especially after Axl went to work on his lower back, Axl gained the winning pin fall after an exciting back and fourth encounter. Winner: Joey Axl.
Layton Cole, the head coach of SLAM Wrestling returned to the very venue where he was inches away from becoming the first N-EWW champion and looked to even the odds by going up against one of the hardest hitters to have ever come out of the Extreme Academy, Deano Lock.
Lock is known specifically for his MMA/Kickboxing background and Layton Cole is known for his ground work and technical ability so a good mix-up was in store where Lock certainly held his own, but all it took was for Deadly Nightshade to get involved in the match-up and Cole got the victory after a superplex from the top rope.Winner: Layton Cole.
For the first time in almost two years the 'British Beast' returned to singles competition under the EWW banner. Briggs proved he can talk the talk but only just managed to walk the walk. After two exciting contests that displayed speed and technicality it was time for the big guns to knock lumps out of each other until one or other stayed down. Briggs proved he can hang in there with the biggest dog in the yard but after a brutal spear it was all over!Winner: Dominator.
This is where it gets ugly. Cyrus certainly wasn't coming alone as he was accompanied by Infinity, a new young hooded companion filming the violence off his phone and of course, Trevor Bekooy. The flying Grayson may have gone into this match-up full of confidence, but… After Cyrus got the win, it wasn't over. The Unknown unleashed a brutal beating involving a kendo stick more than once to Grayson and it was nothing more than a mugging!
Having seen enough, Skarlett ran down to ringside but was stopped dead in her tracks by Mr Bekooy who then addressed the matter of how they've bided their time when it came to the world champion.Winner: Cyrus Shade.
When you talk about monsters, don't forget to mention the freaks as we were in for a very 'different' kind of encounter for the St George's title as two of EWW's most bizarre characters squared off for the very first time. Deano Lock interfered to gain some revenge after Nightshade's actions earlier in the evening but when it was all said and done, the 7ft demon prevailed and retained the St Georges Championship! Winner: Voodoo.
Although suffering a defeat earlier in the evening, Lupo Lee entered the rumble at number one to which was followed one of the biggest surprises of the evening and that was the returning 'Prince of Punk' Drake who entered the rumble at number two!
Deadly Nightshade and Deano Lock got in on the action, but the ring couldn't hold either of them as they both toppled over the top rope at the same time and brawled to the back. Jeff Leopard, Ron Jovi, Pandemonium, Vicki B, Lou Steel and Taylor Essex all got in on the rumble to earn their right, but the final two happened to be the first two!
Both kicked and scrapped and clawed their way through overcoming the odds and after some back and fourth action, Lupo Lee eliminated Drake to receive a thunderous ovation from the Battle crowd and go on to meet the N-EWW champion the next time EWW returns to the Memorial Hall.
To sweeten the deal, Drake showed the ultimate sign of respect by handing over his punk jacket to Lee before leaving, allowing Lupo to celebrate with the fans.Winner: Lupo Lee.
Now we had a brand-new number one contender it was time to find out who Lupo Lee would be facing for the N-EWW Title down the line.
AWOL is a former St Georges Champion and one of the earlier graduates of the Extreme Academy while Lenny is just getting started after almost two years in the business and this was his very first title defence.
This was without doubt both men's best match to date and although I was expecting a mutual respect and sportsman like conduct between these two after some great technical wrestling and speed, the bout went into the crowd as AWOL showed more of an aggressive side. Lenny got the victory ten minutes into the match but after both gentlemen shook hands, Lenny quickly dropped AWOL to the canvas and turned on the Battle crowd. This should set up an interesting matchup between him and Lupo Lee at a future date!Winner: Lenny.
Lacey James suffered a loss to current British Women's Champion Erin Angel at Unknown Uprising, so she was quick to get a match for the Spy Who Shoved Me and get back into the Women's Championship rankings. Maddi Almighty proved yet again that she has a lot of heart and fire and is certainly a future star in the making but the more experienced Lacey knows every trick in the book and managed to pin Maddi's shoulders to the mat, BUT her feet were on the ropes to her advantage and the referee didn't see a thing! A questionable victory but the referee's decision is final.Winner: Lacey James.
Main event time and the Unknown returned to ringside to try and grasp the championship!
This was a very different Infinity to who we saw four years ago, a man who was loved by the crowd and grew popular after each event. Still a man with no limits but all he was interested in was dominance, violence and most importantly the World Heavyweight Title.
At least three times during the bout, The Unknown tempted Skarlett to strike with a weapon in hand be it a kendo stick, a steel chair or even a barbed wire bat! But the 'bombshell from hell' would stick to her guns and focus on her opponent.
But this is when things took a turn for the worse, it's one thing threatening someone with weapons but when you want to take one of Skarlett's most precious possession well that's another thing! After toying with the championship belt right the champion's face, Skarlett had been pushed and pushed to a point where she struck Infinity with the belt out of anger and there was a stunned silence from all around.
As she came to her senses Skarlett quickly realised what she had done and dropped to her knees in shock! The Unknown got what they wanted…not the championship belt but to unleash the monster buried deep inside the champion that she has tried hard not to let out!
The Unknown have an advantage over Skarlett after this event but how will she refocus and retaliate as we head towards October 27th for the EWW 20 Year Anniversary event at the Sussex Coast College? Has the Unknown awoken a monster that they cannot control…?


Slurps is the new naturally nutritious drink for dogs!
Every dog owner worries about their dog's food, but do they know how much their dog should be drinking?
Two out of three dogs don't drink the daily vet recommended 50ml/kg bodyweight. This runs the risk of serious dehydration and its related illnesses- Slurps has been developed specifically with this fact in mind.
- Promoting healthy skin and coat – Omega-3 fatty acids help to improve the overall shine of the coat, as well as aiding to reduce skin inflammation which can be caused by allergies, fleas or scratching.
- Supporting a healthy cardiovascular system – Omega-3 fatty acids aid in the reduction of cholesterol and triglycerides levels in the blood, promoting a healthy heart.
- Boosting the immune system – all dog's often benefit from a boost in their immune system, but none more so than senior pets. This is due to their immune system weakening over the years, leaving them more prone to infections and inflammation.
The fish oils in Slurps come from small fish such as anchovies and sardines – which are a lot more sustainable than larger fish which take longer to grow.
The concentrated formula is ideal to keep at home – simply add water and feed.
The Ready-to-Drink format is great for taking on walks or whilst travelling.
Slurps is also great for stimulating the appetites of dogs that are fussy, stressed or recovering from illnesses.
Please Note:Slurps may be given to dogs with pancreatitis (due to the low-fat content – 2.15%), but it is advised to get advice from your vet before feeding to your dog.
What are the benefits of using Slurps?
What is in Beef Slurps?
Nutritional Additives (Per 100ml):Omega-3 fatty acids 450mg, Omage-6 fatty acids 110mg, DHA 132mg, EPA 206mg, Energy 15Kcal.
How do I use Slurps?
Slurps has been used to pour over your dog's food when administering medicines – Simply pour Slurps over the dog's food (including the crushed up pills/liquids).
Please Note: This pack makes up one standard 100ml portion so there shouldn't be any leftovers, but if there are, refrigerate and use within 3 days.

Tadesse Kiros Law Office Co-hosts Seminar on the Ethiopian Power Sector
Roundtable Announcement
Copyright © 2020 Tadesse Kiros Law Office
Tadesse Kiros Law Office, Bole Road, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Website Design : Epion Computer Solutions


Today I held a short lunch seminar on the subject of the most prominent startups in the region. The seminar was held because I was asked to do it, and when I thought about it I realized would be interesting to do. So I did, even if it was with a limited amount of preparations (which I can be accused of, but my main philosophy is: better to do then to don't). So I did it.
It was held over lunch at CreativeLab, the creative event concept at the SHIP co-working space. Because we have a policy of livecasting whatever we do, you can watch the recording above (Our new Bambuser channel can be found here).
If you want to download the slides, I have made them available on slideshare but there are quite low resolution there, so can be found as pdf here as well.
I am probably describing some of the startups a little bit wrong (sorry for that), and I missed some things in the presentation (corrected in the downloadable versions). But I hope it creates some value for you as the viewer anyway.

Q: How to split one column with array merge value to array and join other table then merge back There's a table WaitCheckBil like :
| BIL\_NO | USRS | DATE |

and a table Users like :
| USR | NAME |
| --- | --- |
| STO02 | John |
| STO04 | Eva |
| STO06 | Lisa |
| STO07 | Boke |
| STO09 | Nii |
| STO10 | Alisa |

Expected result :
| BIL\_NO | USRS | DATE |
| --- | --- | --- |
| XC20090015 | ;Nii;John;Eva;Lisa;Alisa;Boke;Alisa; | 2020\-09\-15 00:00:00.000 |

| XC20090018 | ;Nii;John;Eva;Lisa;Alisa;Boke;Alisa; | 2020\-09\-16 00:00:00.000 |

What I've tried & think :
It's a old system's table , so I can't change the struct.
And the table logic is select * from WaitCheckBil where usrs like '%;' + @usr + ';%'; to get user's wait check bil_NO.
I think it could split ; usrs column value to array , then join with users table on user column, then merge back to users column.
But I have trouble on here , I have no idea how to implement the logic on sql-server 2008.
Online demo link : SQL Server 2017 | db<>fiddle

A: You should be able to use STRING_SPLIT and STRING_AGG functions together, something like this (I've added it to your fiddle):
WITH uSplit AS (
SELECT [BIL_NO], [DATE], [USR], [NAME] FROM WaitCheckBil as wcb
OUTER APPLY STRING_SPLIT(SUBSTRING(wcb.[USRS], 2, LEN(wcb.usrs) - 2), ';') AS S
LEFT JOIN Users AS U on U.[USR] = S.[value]
)
SELECT [BIL_NO], CONCAT(';', STRING_AGG([NAME], ';'), ';') AS [USRS], [DATE]
  FROM uSplit
 GROUP BY [BIL_NO], [DATE]

Oops, sorry. I saw your fiddle was SQL Server 2017 and assumed that was OK. Are you needing SQL Server 2008? I see that STRING_SPLIT and STRING_AGG didn't arrive until 2016/2017 versions. You may need to write a UDF to get the same result in SQL Server 2008.

A: OK so here's a UDF for SQL Server 2008:
CREATE FUNCTION ufnReplaceUIDs(@inUIDs varchar(100))
RETURNS varchar(100)
AS
--  Replace User Ids with User Names
BEGIN
    DECLARE @UID varchar(10);
    DECLARE @outUNames varchar(100);
    DECLARE @outUName varchar(10);
    DECLARE @String varchar(100);
    SET @String = SUBSTRING(@inUIDs, 2, LEN(@inUIDs) - 1)  -- Remove First/Last ;
    WHILE (CHARINDEX(';', @String) > 0)
        BEGIN
            SET @UID = LEFT(@String, CHARINDEX(';', @String) - 1);
            SELECT @OutUName = [NAME] FROM Users WHERE [USR] = @UID;
            SET @OutUNames = CONCAT(@OutUNames, ';', @OutUName);
            SET @String = SUBSTRING(@String, CHARINDEX(';', @String) + 1, 100);
        END;
    RETURN CONCAT(@outUNames, ';');
END;

Use it like so: SELECT [BIL_NO], dbo.ufnReplaceUIDs([USRS]) AS [USRS], [DATE] FROM WaitCheckBil and the result is:
