Q: Slow Network Printing over OpenVPN / Windows Server 2008 Our setup is as follows:
Two offices (A and B) connected with OpenVPN Access Server.
One Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

*

*Housed in remote datacenter.

*Terminals at both offices connect through RDP in order to use a particular piece of software concurrently.

*Network Connected printers (Deployed with GPO) that are connected to separate terminals at each office (and shared) are used with this software to print things throughout the day.

We are experiencing extremely slow printing times.  Opening printer properties can take 30-60 seconds and printing times range from 30-180 seconds with no apparent reason.  File sizes remain < 1mb.
This happens with each of our printers.  All different models.
The server massively underutilized with a 6-core AMD, 16GB ram, 4x 120GB SSDs, and a 100 megabit port.  Our VPN does not seem to be a bottleneck either.
I've been attempting to find ways to increase print speed.  So far no success.  What can you advise?

A: I don't have any advice to offer on root cause. Nothing jumps out.
If I were troubleshooting this I'd sniff the traffic. Nothing beats seeing the packets on the wire.
I would capture network traffic between the Terminal Server computer and one of the computers hosting the shared printers while the problem is occurring. Since you're seeing "slowness" just opening the Properties sheet for the printer I think capturing the traffic generated when you try to do that should at least generate a lead.
Minimally, you'd do a capture at a time when traffic between the Terminal Server and the PC hosting the shared printer would be at a minimum, so that you can use a simple capture filter like host <ip of print server PC> (assuming pcap filter syntax). It would be even better if you could find a time when you're the only use on the Terminal Server such that you can capture (and feel confident that your actions are generating) all non-RDP traffic to/from the Terminal Server just to make sure you're not missing attempted DNS resolutions, IPv6 connection attempts, etc.
If you're uncomfortable putting third-party sniffer software on the server grab Microsoft Network Monitor. (I'd like to recommend the new Microsoft Message Analyzer but I just haven't had enough time to get comfortable with it yet.)

A: It's been a long time.  However, I would like to encourage anyone who is having such an issue to ensure their VPN is a site-to-site setup.  After switching to UBNT EdgeRouter with Site-to-Site OpenVPN, printing time is practically instantaneous.

WSNA Statement Regarding Executive Order on Immigration
SEATTLE—On Jan. 27, President Trump announced Executive Order 13769, "Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States." The following statement is attributable to Washington State Nurses Association Executive Director Judy Huntington, MN, RN:
President Trump's executive order to ban travel and immigration to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries, including refugees fleeing violence, is antithetical to the purpose of the Washington State Nurses Association and threatens nursing's ability to meet the health care needs of our patients.
WSNA's Statements of Purpose include: "These purposes shall be unrestricted by considerations of age, color, creed, disability, gender, health status, lifestyle, nationality, race, religion or sexual orientation." In other words, there is no place for discrimination based on one's religion or nationality as we work to improve health standards, extend the availability of health services to all people, foster high standards of nursing, and promote the professional development and economic and general welfare of nurses.
Trump's order also represents a very real threat to our ability to provide health care. In the United States, more than 2 million health care workers - including more than 200,000 nurses - are foreign-born.
WSNA's membership represents nurses from many countries and of many faiths. Adherence to the principles of inclusion and respect is fundamental to who we are as an organization and our commitment to our patients. We oppose any executive or Congressional action that broadly targets people of a particular religion or nationality as President Trump's executive order does.
WSNA is the leading voice and advocate for more than 68,000 Registered Nurses in Washington state, providing support, resources and education that allow nurses to reach their full professional potential and focus on caring for patients and our communities. As a union, WSNA represents more than 17,000 registered nurses who provide care in hospitals, clinics, schools and community and public health settings across the state.

Animal blood donors saving lives of other pets
By Brittany Schmidt |
Posted: Mon 11:29 AM, Jan 14, 2019 |
Updated: Mon 10:49 PM, Jan 14, 2019
APPLETON, Wis. (WBAY) - It's a scary thought, but sometimes our pets have to go under the knife. Like humans, animals need blood in cases of emergency surgery.
But where do animal blood supplies come from?
Emergency veterinarian Robert Forbes works at Fox Valley Animal Referral Center in Appleton.
"I was one of those classic, you know, middle school kids who wanted to be a veterinarian and then never grew out of it."
Thirteen years later he is saving animal lives. He's put his five-year-old rescue Great Dane Fiona into a blood donor program.
Fiona can be called at any moment to donate blood for an animal in need. Other employees at the Fox Valley Animal Referral Center have also enrolled their pets in the program.
"The last time she donated, it was a real small patient she needed to give to so we only took about 50 mm, or just a few ounces of blood," Forbes says. "Otherwise, she can donate much more than that. She can donate up to probably a couple hundred mils pretty easily, because she's 100 pounds."
Critical care specialist and medical director Lisa Peters says they always have blood products in house.
"There are regional blood banks across the nation," Peters says."And so there are a couple that we get our blood from. And we always have a supply on hand."
The blood needs to be kept at a cool temperature. The red blood cells are kept in a refrigerator in the lab and the plasma is kept in the freezer.
"Red blood cells usually only last about 30 days," Peters says. "If we're looking at plasma that can be frozen, and that can last a lot longer."
During summer months, pet trauma cases are high.
"We see a lot of dog fights, dog bites and we see a lot of vehicle accidents," Peters says.
That puts the center at risk of running low on supply--or running out.
"We give transfusions here every week," Peters says.
That's when they rely on donors like Fiona. However, she can only donate every few months.
"We're actually thinking about starting a donor program, and probably going to the community and looking at using dogs and cats in the community and starting our own donor program someday," Peters says.
They're still working out the details, including donor compensation and requirements.
Dogs and cats would have to be 2-8 years old to be donors.
Cats have to be more than five pounds. Dogs have to be 40-50 pounds.
Peters says cats have three different blood types. Dogs have 13 blood types.
Animals must be healthy to donate. Healthy pets can be called at a moment's notice to save a life.
"I mean, it's critical. Sometimes you know, we need to start that process as soon as the patient gets here," Forbes says. "And so to have that readily available, or to be able to call somebody in and know that they're going to be here in 15 minutes or so, it can be really important. And it has saved animal lives in this building every year."

At first thought, an unsecured business loan may seem impossible to get. It can really look difficult when you study some of the logistic issues that lenders consider.
Now you will need financing to get machines and equipment, production materials and facility … etc. Knowing how to get the best unsecured business loans will help you resolve a lot of finance related issues either for business upgrade or first time start up.
A very important factor with this type of loan is that they do not need collateral. You will not be mandated to submit a valuable possession before you can qualify for the loan. Note here that you will need to do a little more than giving just your word of repayment. The lender or bank will study carefully some other details about you and your business ideas or plan.
Getting the best unsecured line of credit is also a great step. This will make the entrepreneur have access to financing when it is needed. A very big plus to this is the repayment interest rate. This will be the exact amount for the money borrowed at that time. Controlling the money you take or borrow simply means controlling your interest rate. The less the amount, the less the interest … it is that simple. Using unsecured line of credit is actually a fast cash solution to your business financing.
You can opt for start up loans. This will help if your business is less than two years of age. A business that is less than two years will have doubtful prospects and this is certainly a big challenge. However, if you have a good repayment history, great credit score and the business has been doing fine within the years of review, your unsecured start up loan is as good as guaranteed.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Atlantic City's mayor said Monday he cannot agree to massive tax reductions sought by the owners of the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, throwing into serious doubt an already long-shot plan by billionaire Carl Icahn to buy and save the casino and its 2,800 jobs.
Mayor Don Guardian told The Associated Press he cannot agree to the massive tax rollbacks, which are a key component of what Trump Entertainment resorts and Icahn are demanding in return for pumping $100 million into it and keeping it open.
"Given the difficult economic situation in Atlantic City, we are not in a position to accept these requests," Guardian told the AP. "We cannot afford those demands."
The proposal calls for the city reducing the tax assessments of Trump Plaza, which closed on Sept. 16, from $248 million to $40 million and for the Taj Mahal from $1 billion to $300 million.
Atlantic City is dealing with a massive budget deficit brought on largely by the crumbling of its casino market. Plagued by years of successful appeals by the casinos challenging their tax assessments as too high in light of the plunging gambling market here, the city plans to cut $40 million from its budget over the next four years, lay off workers, and raise taxes on businesses and homes to make up for the lost revenue.
The finances have been further impacted by the closing of four of the city's 12 casinos so far this year. The Taj Mahal would become the fifth if Trump Entertainment makes good on its threat to shut it down on or before Nov. 13.
Trump Entertainment Resorts, the Taj Mahal's parent company, declined to comment on the mayor's decision.
Icahn is considering spending $100 million to save the casino.
An aide said Icahn was not available for comment Monday.
But the offer came with considerable strings attached: Icahn is willing to consider the bailout "if and only if" he gets big givebacks from the casino workers' union, steep tax breaks from Atlantic City and county, and $25 million in funds from a New Jersey agency.
In a Friday filing to a bankruptcy court, Trump Entertainment Resorts presented a letter from Icahn's attorney saying the billionaire would consider bailing out the casino if the debt he owns in it were converted to equity that would give him ownership.
"Notwithstanding the fact that putting more money into the Taj is a questionable business decision, we share the company's desire to see the Taj Mahal remain open and preserve the jobs of the company's employees," Icahn attorney Allan Brilliant wrote in a Sept. 23 letter to Trump Entertainment Resorts in response to the company's offer to hand ownership to Icahn. Failing to get the concessions "would make it impossible to operate a viable company at this time."
The court filing paints a dismal portrait of the Taj Mahal's finances, and holds out no hope of its survival beyond November without Icahn's money and the related concessions. Trump Entertainment has threatened to close the casino and lay off its 2,041 full-time and 825 part-time employees.
Union president Bob McDevitt said the proposal would cut total compensation to workers — many of whom earn $12 an hour — by 35 percent. He said Icahn is "seeking to take advantage of the Atlantic City crisis to do away with the health care thousands of south Jersey casino workers and their families have fought for and relied upon for over 30 years."
It also calls for the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to provide $25 million in tax credits or other investments. John Palmieri, executive director of the agency, said he has not received the request yet, but added the agency is not allowed by law to give financial assistance to the casinos that is gambling-related.

Rubber gloves should be worn during exposure to mold.
A bleach and water solution can be an important part of getting rid of mold.
One of the biggest problems associated with water damage is the formation of mold. It is a health hazard for many people, which can intensify asthma symptoms and cause other breathing disorder problems. There are a variety of techniques and tools to remove water damage mold from homes and other buildings. To completely remove water damage mold, all moisture must be eliminated from the water damaged area, all major surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned, and all wood and fabric furniture must be treated with a mold-preventing solution.
There are a number of necessary tools and supplies are necessary for water damage mold removal. A dehumidifier is essential to help remove all traces of water and residual moisture from the previously flooded space, as any overlooked moisture can result in a continuing black mold problem. Cleaning supplies consisting of bleach solution, clean water, and a high quality disinfectant will kill existing mold spores. A ventilation mask and gloves are vital for protecting anyone working to dry out a house from the caustic chemicals in the cleaning products and from the mold itself.
The first step in water damage mold removal is to dry out the space affected by water damage. Depending on the severity of the water damage, mops and buckets may be required to remove large amounts of water. A dehumidifier will also assist in drying up any remaining water and moisture. Good ventilation, such as open windows and box fans, will help the air flow during the drying process.
After the moisture from the flooding has been properly disposed of, effective cleaning is essential in eliminating the risk of black mold. Most experts recommend using bleach solution and warm water to clean the walls and floors of the affected area. Once the walls and floors have completely dried, they should be treated with a water and disinfectant solution. If the affected area is carpeted, the carpet will need to removed and replaced or completely dried out in the sun to destroy lingering mold spores. Wearing a ventilation masks rubber gloves during this process is suggested to ensure safety.
Another aspect of water damage mold control includes caring for any furniture that may have been damaged. Wood furniture can be treated with denatured alcohol. It generally will not cause any damage to the finish of the furniture, and will successfully eliminate any remaining mold spores. Any removable fabric sections from furniture must be washed in the hottest water possible. Upholstered pieces of furniture should be taken outside and left for a day in the sun, brushed with a soft bristled brush to dislodge mold spores, and then sprayed with a disinfectant solution.

Legislative Reference Bureau workers: 20 contractors; only 4- career service
Samoa News staff
reporters@samoanews.com
Of the four divisions of the Fono - Senate, House of Representatives, Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB), and the Legislative Finance Office (LFO) - the LRB has the least number of employees with 24, getting paid a total of $829,500.
This is according to a copy of the Fono's 2018 final budget — prepared in June 2017 — and obtained by Samoa News.
The budget shows that 20 of the LRB staff are contract workers, and the remaining four are career service employees.
The career service positions include the chief personnel officer, with a current salary of $42,317; a "chief LG process" getting paid $43,227; and two "senior administrative assistants" earning $32,380 and $21,387.
Salaries for the quartet amount to $139,311 but with noted "step increments" of $3,510 total, fringe benefits (16.7%) of $23,265. Another $586 in step increments as part of the fringe benefits, brings the total payout for the four career service employees to $166,672
For contract workers, the highest paid position is the director of the LRB, who is also a Legal Counsel making $80,000.
There are two other legal counsels on staff, earning $75,000 and $58,000.
(Samoa News was unable to identify the third legal counsel, who earns $58K, while the other two are known as they are called upon during legislative sessions to clarify legal issues for the senators and House representatives, as reported by the media.)
A chief translator is getting paid $35,000 while a translator/ probation officer and a computer technician are earning $30,000 each.
There are two other computer technicians and another translator/ probation officer — each getting paid $25,000.
There is an assistant/ translator earning $15,000.
Salaries for the legislative assistant, legislative researcher, and research analyst are listed at $28,000 each; and there is a legislative investigator making $22,000, and another research analyst getting paid $25,000.
According to the budget document, the LRB has a legislative library assistant getting paid $19,623, a computer operator II making $18,000; an assistant protocol officer making $16,000, and a clerk typist getting paid $12,000.
(Samoa News should point out that while an assistant protocol officer is listed, a 'protocol officer' is not, so who the assistant is 'assisting' exactly is not known.)
Seven of the contract workers are getting fringe benefits (16.7%) that total $10,494.
Altogether, the total salaries — funded locally — for the LRB is $752,444 but tack on the fringe benefits of $76,888 (including step increments), and personnel costs add up to a grand total of $829,332 although the budget rounds the totals to the nearest $500 and therefore notes the LRB budget as being $829,500
The fiscal year 2018 budget — $394.76 million — was signed by Governor Lolo Matalasi Moliga on Sept. 30th. After he line-item vetoed amendments made by the Fono, Lolo returned the legislature's budget to the original proposed FY 2018 budget of $6,916,500.

A point has no size but simply marks position, says the definition in my head and as used in lessons. Yet if a point is something sharp, such as the blade on Death's scythe is sharp, it should be better described as an asymptotic limit, in which case the points defining the edge would be themselves undefined.
I wonder how sharpness is measured: one imagines that a blade or point has a measurable dimension. I don't mean image sharpness; Google tells me that the measure of a point's sharpness is the radius of the end; the test machine I found has only two dozen units extant [www.catra.org] and the test standard is ISO 8442-5:2005. Generally sharpness is governed by the angle of the two opposing faces – and then the radius of curvature of the edge matters (and is worth measuring). Needles are measured in gauge (G), an inverted unit, meaning the number gets bigger as the size diminishes. The tube part of a lancet (regular medical) point has the edges at 15º and there is an 'A' grade at 12º . A 'French' equals 0.01312 inches diameter and is used mostly with catheters. Fine needles are around 31G, 1/100th of an inch. The finest I have found is a 33G at 0.0080 inches, 0.203mm outside diameter and 0.0035inches [0.089mm] inside. Sadly, this is an inch-based unit.
The point, as in "Why are we here?" is an unknown. Apparently many feel the point is to leave your mark, but whether that is on the planet, in history or by some physical damage is not made clear. For some, it is the extension of ones genes: however, given that those with genes worth spreading have small families and are far outweighed by the masses whose genes are sub-median (about half, then) and who have unfettered families, the mathematical law that says things will tend to the norm applies¹. In general, two high IQ parents produce lesser offspring and two low IQ parents produce higher-rated children – tending to the mean (and IQ is a poor measure, but the one available).
"Where's the point?" could be the question of a depressive, and it deserves an answer: If the question refers to the point in life then biologists say that the point is to further the gene pool. That covers a brief period in the life of a human and, if the supposition were the whole truth, renders most of each life an utter waste – therefore the issue (both question and progeny) must be rejected as not being the whole. Equally there is little point in a non-productive life and that then begs the question what constitutes one of those. The British government, especially in the Blair years, was desperate to raise the education levels of everyone, not least to lower or disguise the unemployment figures, but also to encourage people to move between careers by cross-training and by having education at all ages. In China it is taken as gospel that one of the primary duties is to educate oneself to the highest possible level; the US is not far different. Education achieves what, though? How do we use it? What education proves useful in advancing the individual, the nation or the race? Do we all study like mad so as to increase the chance that rare individuals develop something grandly new? [Just how many software programmers does the world need? How many genuine mathematicians?] What is it that we are chasing?
Some people chase fame, fortune and happiness, a trio I reckon not to overlap by much. Having tried them all, I recommend the third, though a modicum of the other two can assist. Self-knowledge seems to be a powerful tool in chasing any of these, and those that achieve all three are often pursuing some excellence that appeals internally first, finding a market for their preference that brings the other attributes. Of course, one remains unaware just how many people strive to no similar effect. It would be interesting to measure what constitutes success: I read a book today that said an interesting life is not necessarily a satisfying one²; I would claim though that it makes more opportunity for satisfaction than an uninteresting life. A colleague last year proposed the dictum that one should live life to the full, flat out, squeezing as much as possible into every day – for you know not which is your last. As he put it at the time, if you're not going to do things, why be here? So for him at least, the point of life was to live it.
An economist might argue similarly. The greatest (really? easiest?) benefit each consumer can give is the circulation of wealth; therefore one may argue that we are each beholden to spend and earn as much as we can – to be good little consumers.
1 Usually labelled the Central Limit Theorem, which says that if you take many samples from a population and inspect the means of the samples, then the population of the means is normally distributed (whatever the reasonable distribution of the original, sampled, population. Good students will (should) disagree with my representation. I suspect we have been vague and missed an opportunity to distinguish between central tendency and the central limit theorem. Central tendency is an expression reflecting the generally normal bell-shaped distribution, which will have (has) more of the population near the mode (the average that is applicable). Thus for example with human population begetting children, if 'you' (you & the spouse) are off to an end of the distribution, then generally you'd expect your children to be nearer the middle. Small samples make this a pretty rubbish statement, but in general, there will be a tendency towards the mean.
2 No, I have no idea at all which book. I googled the phrase "an interesting life is not necessarily a satisfying one" – and got this essay as the single response.
At the end of their school year, Chinese students have a school ceremony not dissimilar from the US equivalent, but far far from any British one. This commentary is based on the occasion viewed in Nanjing this year.
The A2 students have completed their exams and indeed have been on study leave since mid-May. This ceremony marks the end of their schooling but, more significantly, includes them being given their 'graduation' or completion certificate. This, inevitably, comes in a hard cover so it looks like a little red book (oops), around A6 size, A7 when folded. Inside is a single sheet of official paper (official because it has inked stamps on it) that says the named student has completed their education at the named school in some satisfactory manner. It indicates no grading, only completion. Completion in itself means some minimum standards are reached. I am unaware of anyone being denied completion, so this may well be yet another case where the paper is important but the circumstance is not and the paper itself is of value but somehow the thing the paper stands for is not. Actually, the lack of the paper gives problems, as one is required to have finished (sorry, be able to prove that you have finished) your education. The reasoning is cultural, foreign and I do not claim to understand this at all completely.
This essential of the possession of this paper becomes the target and the target is the only lever used in threatening students for bad behaviour over the year. Worse, it appears that the requirements were probably filled a year ago, so only attendance and behaviour could have been at fault. Since no-one is excluded, the threat is patently an empty one. Clearly the threat would be worthwhile if there were transgressors to be held up as examples. The persistent absentees and the proven cheats still received their 'diplomas'. So what is the worth? I do not understand this thinking.
I do, of course, have a fundamental disagreement with the idea of 'graduation' from school. I begin to understand that there must be a paper marking the exit from school, but I disagree at so many levels with the idea of entitlement to wear a gown and hood and mortarboard. I might think differently if the qualification was graduated (literally, grades given) or was even selective, but the limit of selection lies in getting into the school. So you can imagine how I feel at the students wearing a gown of at least exhibitioner (commoner, exhibitioner, scholar, graduate) rank, being a long gown, the greater annoyance at the gaudy (apologies to Oxonians, there) hood: the mortarboard I can disregard as the result of a misunderstood American influence (instantly denied when I suggest this). I notice the footwear and realise that the great heat and humidity mean that these students are wearing surprisingly little – it is not uncommon for there to be shorts, T-shirt and sneakers with the gown. Very few are wearing 'proper' dress at all so I stop being narked and try to be amused instead.
The performance starts with a grand entry to the lecture hall. A number of rows in the middle section have been kept clear and the students parade in to fill alternate rows from opposite directions (neat, if they'd moved at closer intervals). The room is otherwise filled with parents and other students. On the stage are three staff: the Head, myself and a lady who has come only for the first part of the official content. But first, having survived the entry process, we have two compères explaining and introducing. They do this well. We sing the National Anthem, facing the flag on the wall at the back of the stage. The stage also has the UK flag and a huge version of the school crest (it must be close to 3 metres across). Then we have the official lady visitor, who takes the kids through the oath of adulthood (my descriptor) and then vanishes from the stage. Next up is a picture file of memories which is repeated on screens around the room but does not include one that the Head and I can see, so we look consistently stupid, especially when (if) there are pictures of ourselves. I now have a file that may be what was shown, in which many of the pictures are over a year old and so appropriate to this cohort. Speeches follow the laughter. The Head, myself, a representative parent, a student in Chinese and a student in English. Each is bracketed by a bow to the audience. I am informed later that mine was perhaps too difficult – (not the bow, the content) but I insist on saying something rather than contribute only froth.
Endured, not enjoyed. Throughout this phase there are people of all descriptions wandering around with cameras in a range of sizes as if showing what the market has to offer. For me the best picture is of the audience, itself largely behind a camera; my copy is of low quality.
Then we have the handing out of the diplomas. The kids are formed up in a queue to one side of the stage; they must take maybe ten steps, shake my hand, shake the Head's hand, collect the little red book from the Head and hold it against their chest while a photo is snatched of the three of us – and vanish fast before the next student arrives. As the Head said at the time, doing this for 70 is one thing, but he had to do it for 400 last week. The kids manage to screw this simple task up by lack of observation of the therbligs (look it up). They need to grab my right and pass in front of me to meet the Head from the right angle. They need to collect the diploma with their left; they need to face the camera. They don't want to fall over, drop anything, have any clothes fall off: their moment is recorded by the official photographer and by a host of amateurs standing on the apron of the stage – largely parents, but the number taking many photos is confusing. The lack of familiarity with the form of dress shows. I see how few can tie a tie, how many have a clip-on tie, how many can't even fasten their shirts. I marvel at the range of clothes being worn (or not) and I realise that some of these 'shirts' are only as complete as the little piece that is visible, maybe as much as an handkerchief.
After this, we move to more photos indoors. The school's official photographer shows me briefly some he snatched in an off moment – my, he is good. The parents and students grab any and all staff for paired photos with their preferred adult, often trading cameras in pairs. This continues outside—an official year-group photo will demonstrate who of the staff was missing—and the photos continue for a further hour. During this time I am invited to dinner with the departing kids – a singular honour. This proves to be great fun and demonstrates a side of the kids I had not expected. While too many drink too much too fast, they stop at a point well within the bounds of good behaviour and no-one misbehaves. Yes, they are loud and rowdy but much less so than the equivalent UK kids. There are several muted apologies to the restaurant staff (now there's a first) and quite a lot of rotation between tables as people manage to achieve a mingling that would not happen in the west without serious external effort. Conversation is wide-ranging and varies between the really intelligent and the uncouth banter, but with an unexpected distribution that would not be matched on other continents. I am impressed with the students. I definitely enjoyed the company.
Is this graduation? Of course it isn't, and we all need a better word to describe the event and to mark the passing and its rites. There was very little silliness and much decorum. While several went on to party the night away, this was also done with a forethought I had not anticipated but am very glad to have seen.
Don't the kids look ever so young? Cris Miller doesn't look the 70 he was at the time and C [inset, demonstrating a bar move, I think] is not usually anywhere near his size.

google photos sign in 2021


The year of the rooster recently began, and brands around the world cashed in with chances to promote their products and services. The geographic reach of these promotions is growing, going from Asian countries that use the lunar calendar to nations with large diasporas and beyond. Companies that keep a close eye on international media may find they have a chance to work this holiday into their promotional calendars.
First, it pays to define the holiday's date and origin for professionals thinking of working it into PR materials next year, but whose regions don't celebrate it. University of Hong Kong professor Sun Kwok, writing for the South China Morning Post, noted that the dates on which years turn over are based on a calendar of Chinese origin that has been in use for centuries, and that while the day is also called the Lunar New Year, the year length is roughly the same as in solar calendars. Despite the historical association with China, nations such as Korea and Vietnam celebrate the day, too.
When it comes to PR and branding, on either an international or local level, there are opportunities to roll Chinese New Year festivities into the mix. Companies with strong Asian operations can use their local knowledge to incorporate age-old celebrations into publicity materials. Warc recently pointed to prominent Chinese payment provider Alipay running an augmented-reality event based on hongbao, a gifting ritual associated with the new year. The source explained that other brands such as Coca-Cola have signed on to work with Alipay's concept, building synergy and getting their products in front of Chinese consumers.
Of course, when companies cross national borders to promote their goods or services, they should be prepared to meet different media landscapes than the ones they know at home. This means taking advantage of Chinese New Year as a promotional tool could rely on deep knowledge about the targeted consumers, according to Asia Times. The news source pointed out that luxury product brands, for instance must consider online and mobile apps as information channels when they forge into the Chinese market, as this is where 80 percent of shoppers there get info about big-ticket items.
Sometimes, macroeconomic trends can make it worthwhile for brands to approach holidays they haven't leveraged before. Campaign explained this is happening in the U.K., where the pound's fall after the Brexit vote has boosted the amount of Chinese visitors and tourists coming to the country. The source noted that January flights from China to the U.K. rose 81 percent year-over-year in January. A demographic change could mean a whole new audience for PR and marketing activity alike.
Companies hoping to reach beyond their borders and add holidays to their promotional calendars need to be especially tuned in to news from around the world. Becoming more active in international promotions means running an increasing risk of stumbling into a PR crisis or faux pas unless agencies possess media intelligence tools capable of parsing news from around the world, moving at the pace of the digital age.

The U.S. Patent Office Supports the Battle Against COVID-19
By Justin Wagner on December 2, 2020 Posted in Patents
During the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) made multiple efforts to assist patent applicants that were affected by the pandemic (see our previous blog coverage here). Now, as the pandemic continues to wreak global havoc, the USPTO has assumed a more formal role in efforts to battle the deadly virus by implementing a pilot program that provides financial flexibility for applicants whose inventions are geared to help combat COVID-19. This pilot program began on September 17, 2020 and will run for 12 months, though it may be extended depending on a number of factors, including an ongoing evaluation of its effectiveness. The program is specific to provisional patent applications, which we encourage innovators to keep in mind during the continuing pandemic.
Asserting that "its mission to issue high-quality patents to inventors goes hand-in-hand with dissemination of important scientific information to the public to promote further innovation," the USPTO implemented this pilot program to expedite the dissemination of important information pertaining to inventions that have been and are currently being developed to fight COVID-19. Under the pilot program, the USPTO will not require applicants to pay the filing fee for a provisional patent application until a corresponding non-provisional patent application is filed, which must be done no later than one year from the filing date of the provisional patent application. The provisional application filing fee, which currently ranges between $70-280, is normally required at the time of filing of the provisional application.
In exchange for the deferred filing fee, the applicant agrees to allow the USPTO to make the full content of the provisional patent application publicly available in a searchable USPTO "collaboration database." To qualify for the program, the invention described in the provisional patent application must be "a product or process related to COVID-19." The invention must also be subject to approval for COVID-19-related use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). To participate in the program, a Certification and Request Form must be filed with the provisional application.
The USPTO will not require an applicant to pay the provisional application filing fee later if they do not file a corresponding non-provisional patent application. Indeed, the USPTO is welcoming patent applicants who may not even be interested in pursuing a patent but desire to make information about their invention publicly available to others who are participating in the ongoing battle against COVID-19.
Please contact the patent attorneys at Miller Nash Graham & Dunn if you are interested in taking advantage of this program or have any questions about it.
