The Rise of a Secondary Market for Domain Names (Part 4/4): Facilitating the Secondary Market
By Gerald M. Levine Intellectual Property, Arbitrator/Mediator at Levine Samuel LLP
The defining of rights in the UDRP process is precisely what WIPO and ICANN contemplated, but it is unlikely they foresaw the destination of the jurisprudence. Since its inception, UDRP Panels have adjudicated over 75,000 disputes, some involving multiple domain names. (These numbers, incidentally, are a tiny fraction of the number of registered domain names in legacy and new top-level domains, which exceeded 320 million in the first quarter 2017). However, roughly ninety percent of UDRP decisions can be discounted because respondents have no defensible claim to accused domain names and do not even bother to appear or argue that they do. I do not regard this class of registrants as entrepreneurs (which I reserve for the investor class) but rather as bottom feeders, although there are some who fancy themselves to be acting in good faith when the evidence is clearly against them.
The development of domain name jurisprudence insofar as drawing the boundaries of rights is therefore based on some ten percent of the adjudicated disputes. Panels began parsing rights in the first year of the UDRP, and they have not stopped. In the first denial (the fifth filed complaint), the respondent acquired the domain names before the complainant rebranded its business with the knowledge that the corresponding domain names were unavailable. [1] The respondent-investor had priority, and it prevailed.
This was quickly followed by another dispute in which the mark owner had priority, but the domain name was composed of a dictionary word, "allocation." The panel explained that the difficulty lay in the fact that
the domain name allocation.com, although descriptive or generic in relation to certain services or goods, may be a valid trademark for others. This difficulty is [com]pounded by the fact that, while "Allocation" may be considered a common word in English speaking countries, this may not be the case in other countries, such as Germany. [2]
The panel found that the registration and offering for sale of allocation.com constituted a legitimate interest of the respondent in the domain name, although it would be "different if it were shown that allocation.com has been chosen with the intent to profit from or otherwise abuse Complainant's trademark rights." The complainant offered no evidence of "intent to profit," and its complaint was, accordingly, denied.
Chief among the principles of domain name jurisprudence for investors are rights or legitimate interests founded on (1) a "first-come, first-served" basis (not necessarily limited to registrations postdating marks' first use in commerce); (2) registration of generic strings used (or potentially usable) in non-infringing ways for their semantic or ordinary meanings; and (3) making bona fide offerings of goods or services (which by consensus includes pay-per-click websites and reselling domain names on the secondary market).
Thus, as a general matter, it is not unlawful to have registered successbank.com following its abandonment by a bank known before its merger with another financial institution as "Success National Bank." [3] The complainant's rebranding to SUCCESS BANK notwithstanding, it had no right to a lawfully registered domain name even though the second level domain is identical to its mark. Nor, is it unlawful to register a geographic indicator—a cambridge.com for example—where the resolving website is devoted to providing information about Cambridge. [4] Cambridge University may have a seven-hundred-year history of marketing its services, but the domain name does not violate its statutory rights.
There was a momentary setback in a dispute over the word "crew" [5] in 2000. The panel majority found that the respondent was "a speculator who registers domain names in the hopes that others will seek to buy or license the domain names from it" and awarded the domain name to the clothier that owned the mark. A vigorous dissent took the position that has become the consensus opinion of panelists that "speculating" in domain names is not abusive per se. This is demonstrated in later cases such as shoeland.com (2009) in which the panel held that "registering such a generic domain name is a business practice that confers upon the practitioner rights or legitimate interests in that domain name." [6]
This delineation of parties' respective rights has been continually reinforced, and it is now well established that mark owners have no right to corresponding domain names unless they can prove cybersquatting, which is increasingly difficult to establish with weak marks. This is reflected in a number of recent UDRP decisions. For example, in J.D.M. Software B.V. v. Robert Mauro, WDINCO (decided in the respondent's favor over a strong dissent) the complainant alleged that "JDM" infringed its Benelux Trademark, which, the respondent countered, was a simply desirable string of letters for businesses in many different lines of trade. [7] The complainant argued that
the use of the disputed domain name to resolve to a website with PPC links and an offer to sell the disputed domain name at what the Complainant characterizes as a "clearly disproportionate price" cannot be considered a good faith offering of goods or services under the Policy.
However, neither pay-per-click links nor the "clearly disproportionate price" are factors in determining bad faith where the registration is lawful. The Panel held that "the evidence shows [JDM as having] a very wide range of potential associations and is in fact in use by numerous businesses other than the Complainant."
The consensus view is set forth in the newly released (May 2017) WIPO Overview 3.0 which the J.D.M. Panel noted "fairly summarizes the weight of UDRP panel decisions" on this issue:
the use of a domain name to host a parked page comprising PPC links does not represent a bona fide offering where such links compete with or capitalize on the reputation and goodwill of the complainant's mark or otherwise mislead Internet users. [8]
However, where the links do not "compete with or capitalize on the reputation and goodwill of the complainant's mark," the registration is not unlawful. Trademark owners have adjusted to this. While the number of registered domain names has increased exponentially, the number of UDRP complaints has remained steady over the last decade at around 5,000 per year. Where the disputed domain name consists of dictionary words, generic terms, descriptive phrases, or random letters, and the complainant contacts the respondent to negotiate purchasing the domain name, the respondent has every right to capitalize on the inherent value of the lexical string regardless of whether the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to the complainant's mark.
The final point to be made is that the value of domain assets is market driven. Since dictionary words (alone or with qualifying words), descriptive phrases, and many combinations of random letters useful as acronyms are already unavailable for the dot-com space, new businesses are compelled to buy domain names from investors and bid through auction websites. As noted, claims of outlandish, exorbitant, and unreasonably high prices are not a factor in proving bad faith, as several other recent cases make abundantly clear.
For example, for countryhome.com the panel held that the price "show[s] a reasonable business response to an inquiry about purchasing a business asset." [9] For babyboom.com the panel held that "[i]n the absence of any evidence from the Complainant that the Respondent had registered the disputed domain name with reference to the Complainant, the Respondent was fully entitled to respond to the unsolicited approach from the Complainant by asking whatever price it wanted for the disputed domain name." [10] And for coldfront.com, the panel held that "[i]f the Respondent has legitimate interests in the domain name, it has the right to sell that domain name for whatever price it deems appropriate regardless of the value that appraisers may ascribe to the domain name." [11]
When competitors vie for the same commodity, it becomes increasingly scarce. [12] Counter-intuitive though it may sound, and for the reasons I have explained, the cultural resources from which names were once mined has become exhausted. Where there is opportunity to create demand (by buying up addresses and controlling supply), there is bound to develop a business niche, which for the Internet is filled by investors of different ranks.
The hard lesson for businesses is that investors have competing rights. When it comes to advising clients, the best counsel can do is urge them not to register marks before acquiring corresponding domain names. For businesses with newly minted marks with no corresponding domain names, there is no legal remedy except to pay the pipers who had the prescience to register desirable names and are holding them for resale at (sometimes) "exorbitant," "excessive," and "unreasonable" prices.

Following its dismissal, the value of the domain name escalated into the stratosphere as graphically described in a post on DomainGang: "Since the decision, Mike Mann has jacked up the price tenfold, seeking now no less than $94,888 dollars!"

The perceived value of a domain name Phil Howard – Feb 8, 2018 4:52 AM
Although, I once did so, I no longer even consider the domain name to be of any particular significance when I visit a page. Consistency helps, but that is only relative ... is it the same domain? I just don't bother looking at the domain name unless I am diagnosing some DNS issue. The domain name could be "yivb8u66nizhbrdjan2dhc3x.net" for all I care.

Great interview! Nice to learn more about the man behind the machine. However, the video is even more entertaining when you pretend you're being interviewed by a very awkward plaid duck wearing sunglasses.

Q: Best storage file for existing images which is writeable in Android I have a database which contains Image paths. I have access to the existing Images by these database paths.
I also need a folder containing Images which are writeable to modify the images.
Besides "assets" files are only readable, so I can't change them. Therefore the "assets" folder doesn't work for me.
What is the best file storage in this case?
My solution was to save images in assets and then copy the folder in an internal storage, but it takes a large amount of memory.

A: The best way is to save the files in internal or external android device.

After his previous instalment on Audiotalaia, [at033] Al Borde del Silencio, Fonseca has been working quietly but thoroughly on this work he is presenting to us: Re Menor (D Minor in english). Re Menor is a work presenting a subjacent issue in artists like Fonseca. This issue - also confronted in the Sara Galán debut [at048] Incidencias - its about the burden that some of this artists carry. This is the burden of classical training as musicians and the eternal struggle to free themselves of conventions, rules, metrics and a predefined language. If Galán explored ways to introduce error and malfunction to the music performance, Fonseca takes a step beyond and just points out his background which is masked under the main structure of the album. As footnotes, Fonseca presents us the guitar as his major companion until the digital silence filed his expectations, for now.

Mining for iron in the brain: a deep learning approach
Student: Lindsay Munroe
1st supervisor: Po-Wah So, King's College London
2nd supervisor: Maria Deprez, King's College London
Brain iron accumulate with ageing, with advancing age being the major risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD; Walker et al., 2016; Ashraf et al., 2018). While iron chelation therapy has been shown to be effective in attenuating symptoms in experimental models and some studies in man for AD, Parkinson's Disease (PD) and multiple sclerosis (MS), it is only recently that iron chelation has been considered a therapy for these and other neurodegenerative diseases. Iron chelation trials are ongoing in PD and one in AD has recently started. From informal discussions, iron chelation therapy appears promising in the PD trials.
The challenge in using therapeutic iron chelation for maintaining healthy brain ageing or neurodegenerative diseases is the difficulty in in vivo measuring and monitoring iron in human brain. MRI methods including T1, T2 and T2* relaxometry and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), are sensitive to iron content to differing extents and specificities. We and others have used T2 and T2* relaxometry to non-invasively assess iron in vivo, and we have shown their differential associations with synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SRXRF)-measured iron content (Walker et al., 2016). However, the influence of the cellular and molecular environment, e.g., myelin, on the relationship between various QMRI measurements and iron remain to be studied. Studying post-mortem human brain tissues from control and AD patients, PWS et al., (unpublished data), have observed the relationship between QMRI and iron is better in grey than white matter, and the association is also better in grey matter in AD than in controls, suggesting the modulation of the relationship between QMRI and iron by myelin. Additionally, iron and other transition metals, including copper and zinc are known to associate with amyloid plaques (AP) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). How the associations between QMRI and iron are affected by AP and NFT has not been investigated.
The purpose of this project is to develop an interpretable deep learning approach to estimate iron content in human brain from multi-modal QMRI data (see Illustration at the end). We will apply QMRI techniques sensitive to iron, tissue microstructure and composition to post-mortem brain tissue, prior to histology and SRXRF iron mapping pf the same tissue (see adjacent Figure). While histology and SRXRF iron mapping can provide 'ground truth', they can only be used post-mortem. By relating these measurements to QMRI, we will obtain a non-invasive tool with the potential for measuring iron content in-vivo.
This project will benefit from a bespoke state-of-the art MRI hardware that includes recently customized high signal-to-noise (SNR) MRI radiofrequency (RF) coils compatible with existing pre-clinical 9.4T MRI scanners and innovative robust tissue handling system for MRI-histology that enables us to perform MRI at/near microscopic scales and minimise the complexity of overlaying QMRI and histology by performing both on the same slice of tissue.
We will develop an integrated deep learning framework that will align multimodal QMRI, histology and iron maps, bridge the differences in the resolutions and ultimately construct a model of neuron, astrocyte, microglia and oligodendrocyte composition, iron content and tissue microstructure from QMRI. We will generate an integrated MRI-view of brain iron distribution in the presence and absence of AD pathology, including neuroinflammation, AP and NFT.


Sorry you won't make it Jagmanx - maybe next year.
Looking forward to seeing you again wingedone!
Will be in touch with those of you who have signed up, before the end of the week - we are off, next weekend - although Caroline etc. will of course be here!
I am about to try to drum up a bit more interest on a couple of other sites - but it's not looking good I will be in touch with you all by pm or email in the next couple of days.


This is a continuation of the previous blog post.
During the day Saturday, the sun was peeking in and out of the clouds. It was remarkable what a temperature difference there was when the sun was out vs. not out. Perhaps due to the elevation? It'd be in the mid-50s when it was cloudy, and suddenly when the sun came out, it'd peak up in the mid-to-upper-60s! We were putting on, then taking off our jackets all day. But there was no rain, and we were thankful for that.
But Saturday night it got quite rainy. From dinnertime until bedtime, we were mainly dealing with very light showers…we'd sit under our 10′ x 10′ shelter and were fine. At bedtime, right when we said "Goodnight" to our boys and zipped them into their own tent, it really started coming down. It was a cold, raw rain. It probably rained for about 30-45 minutes, not super hard. More than anything, raindrops falling on a tent are LOUD. Between that and the creek that was rushing past our tent site, there was plenty of "white noise" to put us all to sleep pretty quickly.
Unfortunately, Dave was pretty cold all night. That damp cool air can really chill you to the bones!
On Sunday we spent the day in Custer State Park. If you ever plan a trip to Mount Rushmore or the Badlands, don't forget to visit this beautiful park! It sits right on the boundary between the Black Hills and the prarielands that are most of South Dakota. We drove the "Wildlife Loop" road around the park, along with some off-roading that took us past some magnificent wildlife views.
There are several lodges on the park itself, and they all had restaurants. We found one that specialized in buffalo fare and it was great!
After lunch we drove over to the far northwest part of the park, near the Needles rock formations, and did some hiking around Sylvan Lake and Harney Peak. We hiked for nearly 3 hours, the boys were great, and you'd have never known that Howie is now 10 years old…he was running up and down those boulders like a puppy!
After the Sylvan Lake loop, we headed up on the Harney Peak trail, which had much more terrain.
Dave and I brought our ancient trekking poles from home, but each of the boys found walking sticks among the felled ponderosa pine. We even brought the sticks home. The boys want to sand them down and decorate them.
On Monday, it was time for an early start — we had broken camp and were packed up by 7am! We hit the road at about 7:20am. Our plan was to drive through Badlands National Park on a road called the "Badlands Loop Road" and hop right back onto I-90 and continue home. Sort of a "drive by" tour of the park.
You don't know how much we wish we could have spent more time here. We made several stops on the route to admire the scenery, and lamented that we couldn't stop on several of the hiking trails to climb further up on some of the peaks. The geology is fascinating and the colors of the rocks on such a sunny day were breathtaking! As it was, what we planned to be a 45 minute diversion turned into almost 2 hours! We got some beautiful pictures, at least…and Jacob (our science weenie!) had so many questions for us about how the rocks were formed.
I love this picture! We saw several prairie dog towns in Custer State Park the previous day, but none were this close to our truck!
Yes! He's playing dead…or at least trying to get low to the ground in hopes that his potential predator can't find him. I thought that was the coolest thing in the world!
And finally, we saw a lot of construction on the Badlands Loop road, and a lot of it was to deal with the wind erosion that was taking out some of the roads. It's predicted that the Badlands themselves are only about 500,000 years old, and might only last another 500,000 years more due to the vicious wind erosion. In geologic timescales, that's a pretty short time.
About 300 miles past the Badlands, we got home. Our plan was to stop at the Chick Fil A at this mall in Sioux City, Iowa for dinner. All 4 of us were SO EXCITED about stopping there, our first Chick Fil A in nearly a year! We get to the mall at about 5:20pm.
The mall was CLOSED. Wait a second, it wasn't Sunday. We made sure of that before we even considered Chick Fil A for dinner on this trip. So why was it closed? Because the mall closed at 5pm for Memorial Day. There were no signs indicating such. I had checked on line and figured that at worst, the mall would have Sunday hours for the holiday, which meant it would have closed at 6pm.
We were all SO MAD. Man…so we had Jimmy John's subs instead. Another fast-food choice we all like.
We got home from our trip at about 7:30pm, which made our return trip just over 11 hours…and that included the Badlands Loop Road.
This was a great trip for us! Dave and I used to take similar overnight road trips routinely before the kids' schedules got too busy. Whether it was to Houston, New Orleans, Cedar Point (Ohio), Ann Arbor, Sorak National Park, or the mountains of North Carolina. Sometimes with friends, sometimes with just the family. We love seeing what our great country has to offer!
I have a pretty big "before I leave Nebraska" to-do list. I know a lot of it won't get done, oh well…such as a trip to Yellowstone National Park, or Winnipeg, Manitoba. But I'm looking forward to trips to Colorado and the Nebraska Sandhills later this summer. Perhaps a weekend Amtrak trip to Chicago this fall?

Mizzou Football Players Boycott For President's Resignation
Students are protesting in support of the #ConcernedStudent1950 movement, which calls for the resignation of University President Tim Wolfe.
Dozens of University of Missouri football players announced a boycott on practices and games Saturday until the school's president resigns or is removed.
Protesters are claiming President Tim Wolfe has been unresponsive to instances of racism on campus.
Wolfe said in a statement the day before the football players' boycott that, "Racism does exist at our university and it is unacceptable," but has made no signs that he will resign.
Protests regarding racism have been growing in numbers and frequency at the University of Missouri over the course of the semester.
In September, the student body president said men in a pickup truck shouted racial slurs at him as he walked on campus.
Students were reportedly outraged when it took the school's chancellor, R. Bowen Loftin, a week to respond to the student president's claim. However, they have not called for his resignation.
In October, a man, believed to have been intoxicated, allegedly harassed African-American students during the Legion of Black Collegians' Homecoming Royalty Court rehearsal.
The person was later identified and removed from the university, with a conduct hearing pending.
Then, protesters blocked President Wolfe's car during the university's official homecoming parade. That protest came days after Chancellor Loftin announced mandatory diversity and inclusion training for all incoming students, but one protester told the Columbia Missourian, "We disrupted the parade specifically in front of Tim Wolfe because we need him to get our message."
Earlier this month, graduate student Jonathan Butler started a hunger strike in response to several events, included a swastika being drawn with human feces in a campus dorm.
Wolfe met with Butler and issued an apology for acting as if he "did not care" at the homecoming parade. However, the hunger strike will reportedly end only with Wolfe's removal.
Coaches are reportedly supporting the boycotting players.
And the athletic department is publicly standing behind the students as well, although some are calling for their scholarships to be revoked.
The football team's record currently sits at 4-5. No announcement has been made regarding the team's upcoming game against BYU on Saturday.

Q: How to fix syntax error in OCaml - could be to do with 'in' keyword? I am relatively new to ocaml and was trying to figure out where the syntax error is in my code but cannot find it, could it be that I am using the 'in' keyword incorrectly?
let dayFromDate year month day =
        if ( (month = 1) || (month = 2) )
        then let m = month + 12 in
        else let m = month

        let k = year mod 100 in
        let j = year / 100 in
        let q = day in

        let h = ( q + ( ( 13 * (m + 1) ) / 5) + k + (k / 4) + 5 - j )

        h;;

A: You definitely have some issues around let ... in ...
I think what you meant was:
let dayFromDate year month day =
  let m = if month = 1 || month = 2 then month + 12 else month in
  let k = year mod 100 in
  let j = year / 100 in
  let q = day in
  let h = q + ((13 * (m + 1)) / 5) + k + (k / 4) + 5 - j in
  h;;

Remember also that if/else is an expression that returns a value.


This study explored Reed's theory of self-transcendence as a potential developmental resource and correlate of well-being within the long term care population. Self-transcendence is a healthy maturation process of expanding one's conceptual boundaries inwardly through increased self-understanding; outwardly through investing in relationships with others and the environment; and/or temporally by integrating perceptions of one's past and future in a way that enhances the present. A descriptive correlational research design examined the level of self-transcendence and the relationship of self-transcendence to depression among nursing home residents. The sample of 51 oldest-old adults ranged from 80 to 103 years old.
Participants were interviewed using five survey instruments. Inferential statistics and correlational analysis demonstrated high self-transcendence and an inverse relationship between self-transcendence and depression. Concurrent high levels of depression may indicate the need for nursing homes to actively facilitate expansion of self boundaries in residents in order for them to experience well-being.

With the growth of non-Native settlements in Southeast Alaska in the early 1900's, and the decline of a barter economy, Natives moved to communities where work was available. The villages and totem poles they left behind were soon overgrown by forests and eroded by weather. In 1938 the U.S. Forest Services began a program aimed at salvaging and reconstructing these large cedar monuments. By using Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) funds to hire skilled carvers from among the older Natives, two things took place: young artisans learned the art of carving totem poles, and totems which had been left to rot in the woods were either repaired or duplicated.
Alaskan architect Linn Forrest supervised construction of the model Native village for this site, then called Mud Bight. The fragments of old poles were laid beside freshly cut cedar logs, and every attempt was made to copy them traditionally. Tools for carving were hand-made, modeled on the older tools used before coming of Europeans. Samples of Native paints were created from natural substances such as clam shells, lichen, graphite, copper pebbles, and salmon eggs; natural colors were then duplicated with modern paints.
By the time World War II slowed down the CCC project, the community house and 15 poles were in place. The name of the site was then changed to Totem Bight. At statehood, in 1959, title to the land passed from the federal government to the State of Alaska, and the site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. At that time it came under the management of the State's Department of Natural Resources for continuing historic preservation treatment by the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation.
A community house or clanhouse of this size could have housed 30 to 50 people. Although it is doubtful a clanhouse existed on this site (originally a fish camp), this design is representative of the type in many Indian villages built in the early 19th century.
Inside is one large room with a central fireplace surrounded by a planked platform. The walls and floors were hand-adzed to smooth the surface and remove splinters. The dwelling served as living quarters for several families of a particular lineage. Each was allotted its own space but shared a common fire. Housewares, treasured items, and blankets were stored under the removable floor boards, and food items were hung from the beams and rafters. The members belonging to the house would be headed by a house chief of the same lineage.
The carved house posts supporting the beams inside symbolize the exploits of Duk-toothl. He is a man of Raven phratry wearing a weasel skin hat who showed his strength by tearing a sea lion in two. The painting on the house front was designed by Charles Brown. It is a stylized Raven with each eye elaborated into a face. Designs on the house fronts were rare, and occurred only in cases of great wealth.
On the front corner posts sits a man in a spruce root hat with the crest design on his face and cane in hand. He is ready for a dance or potlatch.
In Alaska, one is surrounded with natural bounty. Eagles and ravens soar above, perch in treetops, and swoop to the waters below. Whales, otters and sea lions inhabit the bays and inlets. Bears, deer and wolves live in forests of tall cedar, spruce and hemlock. Berries and edible greens cover the forest floor, while salmon and halibut swim in the waters.
Totems, skillfully carved by artists in Southeast Alaska, reflect these resources with symbolic characters carved on totem poles and on the community house at Totem Bight. This guide will introduce some of the characters carved on the poles. Despite early misunderstanding by European missionaries, totem poles were not worshipped; they were silent storytellers. There was no written language.
Eagle, identified by his curved beak, signifies peace and friendship.
Bear and Wolf may appear similar, but the wolf has sharp teeth and a more slender snout.
Raven, distinguished by his long straight beak, plays the hero's (or trickster's) role in many of the Tlingit and Haida stories. Capable of changing his form at will, he is considered a symbol of the Creator.
Beaver, can be recognized by his two large front teeth and his flat tail.
Killer Whale, distinguished from whale by the prominent, straight dorsal fin and sharp teeth, is a symbol of strength.
A Tlingit myth tells that the people were inspired to carve totem poles after finding a carved log washed up on the beach. You may wish to look more carefully at the large logs lining the shores today. The Haida tell of a master carver who created a house front and several poles overnight and then taught the villagers how to carve.
The brief narratives in these pages describe the individual poles as well as records allow. Stories and events associated with the totem poles were sometimes interpreted differently by different clans and communities. To understand totem poles, a deeper, more through knowledge of Native people and their history is necessary.
The Tlingit and Haida Indians are each divided into two matrilineal groups called moieties or phratries. These divisions are represented by the Raven and Eagle (wolves) in totem art. Within these moieties are smaller clans, whose members are more closely related. These clans are further subdivided into lineages or house groups, which is the fundamental social unit, tracing the matrilineal descent to a common ancestor.
Early Tlingit and Haida poles are often distinguishable by their layout. Haida figures interconnect and overlap more than Tlingit figures, which are isolated from each other and present a more rounded and sculptured appearance.
While Totem Bight is generally considered Tlingit country, you will find both Tlingit and Haida myths and legends enshrined here.
The rich resources of this area enabled the people who lived here to have the leisure time necessary to develop their art. The unique art of the Northwest people made use of various forms and techniques to produce the images around you. The art style is usually based on the form line which establishes the principal shapes and design units within a piece of art. The appearance of a third dimension is made where the two dimensional form line design is wrapped around a half cylinder. The form line proportions run from thick to thin in a curvilinear pattern and connect and outline the basic shapes used throughout this style of art.
The ovoid or rounded rectangle is the most characteristic shape used and may delineate a variety of things including the head of a human or creature, eye sockets, or major joints. They may help form the shape of a wing, tail, fluke, or fin. Small ovoids may contain faces or indicate eyes, ears, noses, the blow hole for a whale, or simply fill empty spaces and corners. S-forms and U-forms are used for connecting, filling and contouring.
Color is one of the great unifying characteristics of the art. Colors were limited to a few natural pigments made from salmon eggs, hematite, and other minerals, and European trade did little to change the choice of colors. Black remains the primary color; red is for secondary elements; and blue-green is for tertiary highlighting.

Life timeline of Faisal Tannous Kawar
Faisal Tannous Kawar was born on 15 Dec 1931
Faisal Tannous Kawar was 14 years old when World War II: Hiroshima, Japan is devastated when the atomic bomb "Little Boy" is dropped by the United States B-29 Enola Gay. Around 70,000 people are killed instantly, and some tens of thousands die in subsequent years from burns and radiation poisoning. World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although conflicts reflecting the ideological clash between what would become the Allied and Axis blocs began earlier. The vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—eventually formed two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most global war in history; it directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of total war, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history, marked by 50 to 85 million fatalities, most of whom were civilians in the Soviet Union and China. It included massacres, the genocide of the Holocaust, strategic bombing, premeditated death from starvation and disease and the only use of nuclear weapons in war.
Faisal Tannous Kawar was 21 years old when Jonas Salk announced the successful test of his polio vaccine on a small group of adults and children (vaccination pictured). Jonas Edward Salk was an American medical researcher and virologist. He discovered and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines. Born in New York City, he attended New York University School of Medicine, later choosing to do medical research instead of becoming a practicing physician. In 1939, after earning his medical degree, Salk began an internship as a physician scientist at Mount Sinai Hospital. Two years later he was granted a fellowship at the University of Michigan, where he would study flu viruses with his mentor Thomas Francis, Jr.
Faisal Tannous Kawar was 32 years old when The Beatles make their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, performing before a "record-busting" audience of 73 million viewers across the USA. The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. With members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential music band in history. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several musical styles, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. In 1963, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania"; as the group's music grew in sophistication, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the band were integral to pop music's evolution into an art form and to the development of the counterculture of the 1960s.
Faisal Tannous Kawar was 41 years old when Munich massacre: Nine Israeli athletes die (along with a German policeman) at the hands of the Palestinian "Black September" terrorist group after being taken hostage at the Munich Olympic Games. Two other Israeli athletes were slain in the initial attack the previous day. The Munich massacre was an attack during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, in which the Palestinian terrorist group Black September took eleven Israeli Olympic team members hostage and killed them along with a West German police officer.
Faisal Tannous Kawar was 48 years old when Mount St. Helens erupts in Washington, United States, killing 57 people and causing $3 billion in damage. Mount St. Helens or Louwala-Clough is an active stratovolcano located in Skamania County, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Portland, Oregon and 96 miles (154 km) south of Seattle, Washington. Mount St. Helens takes its English name from the British diplomat Lord St Helens, a friend of explorer George Vancouver who made a survey of the area in the late 18th century. The volcano is located in the Cascade Range and is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a segment of the Pacific Ring of Fire that includes over 160 active volcanoes. This volcano is well known for its ash explosions and pyroclastic flows.
Faisal Tannous Kawar was 62 years old when The Rwandan genocide begins when the aircraft carrying Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana and Burundian president Cyprien Ntaryamira is shot down. The Rwandan genocide, also known as the genocide against the Tutsi, was a genocidal mass slaughter of Tutsi in Rwanda by members of the Hutu majority government. An estimated 500,000 to 1,000,000 Rwandans were killed during the 100-day period from 7 April to mid-July 1994, constituting as many as 70% of the Tutsi population. Additionally, 30% of the Pygmy Batwa were killed. The genocide and widespread slaughter of Rwandans ended when the Tutsi-backed and heavily armed Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) led by Paul Kagame took control of the country. An estimated 2,000,000 Rwandans, mostly Hutus, were displaced and became refugees.
Faisal Tannous Kawar died on 9 Sep 2005 at the age of 73

First Time Home Buyer Featured ReMax Houses call Glen to View.
The typical Canadian spends more time thinking about buying a car than buying a house. Even though the house they buy might wind up costing several times as much as the car.
Why is that? While buying a home has long been part of the Canadian Dream, it's a daunting task – especially for first-time homebuyers. Many would-be buyers, overwhelmed by the process and the current state of the market, give up and decide to rent instead of Looking at ReMax Houses.
Banks will tell you that you can spend up to 32 percent of your gross monthly income (GMI) on your mortgage, taxes and homeowners' insurance premium, and up to 42 percent on your total debt.
The problem is 42 percent of your GMI will feel like nearly 60 percent of your take home pay, or more if you are contributing to a RRSP at work. Remember this: Just because someone will lend you more money doesn't mean you should borrow it.
Tip #5: Understand the true costs of homeownership. Many first-time home buyers get so caught up in the idea of owning a home that they forget about life after closing. The real costs begin after you move into the house. In addition to mortgage payments, you'll owe taxes, insurance and homeowner's association (HOA) fees, and be responsible for any maintenance issues that come up while you own the home.
Tip #6: You may love the home, but get to know the neighborhood before you make an offer. Talk to the neighbors to get the inside scoop on what it's like to live there. Bad neighbors can affect your property's value, but good neighbors can be an invaluable resource to first-time homebuyers.


To protect you and your family membars !
80 percent of deaths happen at home, and about 50 percent of those deaths occur due to the delay in detecting fires. Installation of the fire alarms has been required in all residences in Tokyo since April 1,2010. We are promoting Residential Fire Alarms with this campaign song.
It's my family's smoke alarm.
It's always ready to keep us safe from harm.
It can warm us in case there is ever fire.
We can hear the alarm and we can escape.
If there's ever fire, we hear it beep,beep,beep.
Then we know our smoke alarm will wake us from our sleep.
It protects us all the time.
Our UFO is our smoke alarm.
If it feels heat or somke it raises an alarm.
We pull it's tail so we can check the battery.
It watches us night and day while we sleep or play.
If there's fire, we hear it beep,beep,beep.

The Still Tide takes the stage at the 2015 Westword Music Showcase.
The Still Tide graced the stage of the Open Media Foundation with an ethereal performance at the Open Music Session for August 2015. Since their move to Denver from New York state in the beginning of 2015, the newly-local band is exerting a pull on audiences that's almost, well, tidal. Alums of the Underground Music Showcase and Westword Music Showcase alums, the Still Tide completed a two-month European tour this summer.
Many of the songs in Still Tide's session are as melancholy and beautiful as they are self-assured and badass. "Cake" is a serene, emotional ballad, and the first track of the session, "Summer" (26:03), is one of those that makes you stop and listen again. The self-proclaimed "indie salt rock" band features Natalie Tate on keys and vocals, Kim Baxter on drums, Jacob Miller on lead guitar and Anna Morsett on lead vocals and guitar.
You can check out their full Open Music Session and even download the stems to remix.
"I didn't mean to open the set on such a downer note, but that song is called 'Summer,'" explains Morsett. "That song, even though it's called 'Summer,' is actually about loss and negative space, and this idea that when you're going through a hard time and things are really hard and sad and it feels like maybe pieces of you are suddenly missing." She continues, "It's this idea of...those holes being able to expand your happiness, like there's more space for happiness to fill because you have those holes...Losing a friend, which is what happened when that song was written, trying to kinda spin the positive and seeing that you learn to embrace life a little bit more."
"We're going to feel really connected by the end," Morsett promised, and the Still Tide's set rode a wave of emotion, cresting with "Field of Bells." The audience at Open Media seemed delighted that the Tide has decided to come in and settle in the landlocked Mile High City. Get to know The Still Tide, follow them on Facebook to keep up with new show announcements.

Diversity and Inclusion Councils
Race in the Workplace
Recruiting Diverse Talent
We recognized that our D&I efforts were fragmented and were challenged with bringing our healthcare system together with one consistent and inclusive voice and strategy for our delivery networks.
D&I councils are network committees made up of employee volunteers who assist our health system on executing 3 objectives: D&I Education, Increasing diverse talent and community outreach. In order to have a consistent D&I message these volunteers are trained by the office of D&I to learn the skills needed to execute their objectives. Once they have learned these skills to perform they become Inclusion Champions for the health system.
Our Inclusion Champions are made up of our employees who lead, organize, advocate for, inform and directly support the Diversity and Inclusion System Strategy. They support the efforts of the system to build inclusive cultures, providing them with the big picture, practical tools, and a forum for sharing experiences with their peers. They also help provide focus on D&I initiatives throughout the organization.
Open to all. We believe that our councils directly support the efforts of diversity and inclusion.
YNHHS currently has 230 active inclusion champions throughout the health system in 6 fully developed councils.
Lisette Martinez: [email protected]
While it is important for an organization to express a commitment to diversity and inclusion, making that commitment part of an organization's DNA is hard work. Thanks to an engaged system-wide leadership team that understands and embraces the importance of living our values each and every day, we are well on our way toward making diversity and inclusion an intrinsic part of our culture. This is a journey that needs periodic times of reflection, renewal and advocacy but it requires that we always remember that diversity and inclusion are critical to realizing our vision of being a caring organization recognized for excellence in all that we do.
Marna Borgstrom, CEO

According to new data, 70 percent of publishers and affiliates are likely to leave a network because of a payment issue. So, what can ad networks do to improve publisher satisfaction? Rob Israch, CMO of Tipalti, shares his thoughts.
According to new data, 70 percent of publishers and affiliates are likely to leave a network because of a payment issue. So what can ad networks do to improve publisher satisfaction?
70 percent. That's the likelihood of a publisher leaving a network because of a payment issue.
Not even industry giants, Google, Facebook, and Amazon, are maintaining publisher loyalty and retention when it comes to their biggest priority: Getting paid.
With stats like these, what can you do to improve publisher satisfaction? And how can ad networks gain a major advantage?
Google, Facebook, and Amazon are synonymous with big brands, big gains, and big competition—especially when it comes to advertiser offerings. It's no secret that battling these "Big Three" AdTech giants is no easy feat, so how do you succeed in this increasingly demanding market? By keeping your publishers satisfied with service and differentiation.
While payment operations might not be as top-of-mind as audience targets, ad rates, and commission amounts, how a network handles this process is imperative to publisher happiness. And happy publishers equal happy advertisers.
Networks need to be prepared to deliver a richer payment experience that goes beyond ACH, wire transfers, and PayPal. With the Big Three, publishers have an established baseline of expectations when it comes to how they pay, and smaller networks need to find a solution that makes their offerings more desirable.
94.6 % of publishers indicated that being paid on time is important for ensuring loyalty. And networks can use this data to their advantage by offering a better onboarding experience.
In many cases, these headaches were created because of inadequate payee onboarding. Smaller networks might be at risk of onboarding publishers using unprotected email exchanges and simple web forms that do not validate the right payment details. We estimate that there are over 26,000 global remittance rules to check for when onboarding payees. From ACH routing numbers to checking for fraud attempts, maintaining information on processing payments can be challenging without an intelligent payee portal.
Even Google, one of the AdTech heavy-hitters, experienced onboarding complications with their AdSense program. In some countries, it was found that issues with AdSense added extra complexity to basic wire transfers—a problem that might have been avoided by streamlining their onboarding processes.
In 2019 and beyond, networks will need to offer greater choices when it comes to payments. Not only in currency, method, threshold, and adjust transaction fees, but in communication and features such as early payments.
81.5% of publishers indicated that offering multiple payment methods was important for ensuring loyalty.
When networks start out, they may only offer a single electronic payment method, like PayPal. But as the network grows, publishers will begin to request other options. You might find U.S. payees asking for ACH or international payees who want their funds sent via eCheck to avoid converting currency fees.
Additional offerings will add complexity to a network's operations, but even the Big Three have admitted to needing more than one payment method. No single method is suitable for every situation, and any growing network should want to offer more choices.
Never underestimate the power of communication—especially with payment processing. The simple courtesy of proactively updating payees on payment status is critical for maintaining network loyalty.
Given how lean many networks run, doesn't it make sense to automate communications? By adopting a solution that provides email notifications and a designated payee portal, you might gain back valuable time and reduce your operational overhead.
The payment lag between advertisers, DSPs, and agencies is a widespread problem that continues to plague AdTech.
You have advertisers that are pressuring channels, networks, and others to accept net-60 terms. While networks are expected to pay publishers in much shorter increments.
It's not surprising that 79% of publishers said they would like to get paid earlier. What was surprising was that 36.2 percent indicated they'd be willing to accept a 1 to 3-percent discount in order to receive that earlier payment.
It might be difficult for a network to implement an early payment program to its entire publisher base, but there are precedents for success. And the revenues earned from these programs might help offset other back-office investments.
Out of all of the rich data we uncovered, one thing is clear—publishers and affiliates have a growing number of choices when it comes to the networks they're working with, even beyond the Big Three. Which means networks need to pay attention to payees' interests around payment operations.
After all, in the digital frontier, payments are the only true measure of loyalty and performance.

Guila Clara Tribute
Prem Krishna Gongaju
In Memoriam: Elie Wiesel
Former student of Elie Wisel
Student Life Advisor/Humanities
Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts
Elie Wiesel was my teacher, my mentor during my 3-year study at Boston University School of Theology. I sat at his feet in his Literature of Memory classes, learning to take baby steps upon the embers and ashes of Auschwitz stoked by the searing memory of this man, the Lazarus of human history; I sat at his soot-stained feet overwhelmed by the stench of human depravity, and I was overjoyed by the bouquet of extraordinary hope exuding from his Hasidic soul.
He was gentle, he was kind, he was caring. And a sage. His sublime words nudged the slumbering students to a slow awakening to the past, what's happening at present, and what is to come in this world of human/inhuman affairs.
His voice was soothing and reassuring. His delivery of message was achieved effortlessly, without a strain in his voice and constraint of his conscience. His was a small, still voice, a suspiration from among the reeds stirred by the flaming flurry of recollection by the riverbed of memory. He taught us to keep the river of memory from turning into the Lethe by man's apathy and indifference. He taught us:
"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."
His face. The whole world is familiar with his face: a face furrowed by the claws of man's cruelty to man, a face smeared with sadness and sorrow, and yet a face capable of beaming hopes against hope upon the upturned faces of his students. And to the world.
But I never saw him laugh in the classroom.
Professor Wiesel occasionally called on me in our Literature of Memory class, which was conducted in a somewhat seminar-like fashion, especially when his deep-set eyes noticed me in a quandary due to some conflicting nature of the topic in question, putting me in an enviable position among my fellow classmates, for to be called upon by Professor Wiesel was considered a mark of honor.
On one such occasion, I had to make a statement counter to the accepted political norm of the State of Israel, on the delicate issue of Palestinian homeland. Thus I coached my question in the form of an answer to the lesson of the day, as logically and succinctly as I could at the time: How couldn't there be a Palestine for the Palestinians? I am a Nepali because there is Nepal, my homeland.
Suddenly, a hush fell over the entire class, and I experienced what perhaps might have been one of the disquieting moments of my life during those milliseconds of silence.
Then Professor Wiesel put me and the entire class at ease by not taking me to task for what might have sounded to my younger classmates as an impudent remark. He was sagacious and kind enough to address the issue in question by delineating the principle of separating the Jewish and Palestinian humanity from the school of prevailing political thoughts as well as the Israeli Government's stance. To my mind, he thus bore witness to the suffering of the Palestinians sans Palestine.
One occasion in particular stands out from the rest of my teacher-student relatedness with Professor Wiesel.
I had given a satchel full of his books, fourteen to be exact, to be made holy by his autograph to his then devoted assistant, Ms. Martha. After a few days she had me make an appointment with Professor Wiesel for retrieving the said books from his office, and also for a brief tete-a-tete, which he occasioned in order to get to know his students, individually.
Our visit went swimmingly well at first. Handing me back my satchel, he offered to gift me any and all of his books in the future, with a gentle wave of his hand toward the two towering bookcases bulging with his tomes. My joy knew no bounds at his generous offer, for I loved books more than bread.
Then I remembered something.
During the course of his sharing an anecdote, both poignant and humorous, with the students, he touched on his lean days as a roving reporter. This event occurred in one of the airports in India. He and this Indian gentleman happened to strike up a conversation while waiting for their respective flights. At the end of a long confabulation, the Indian gentleman handed him a card with a personal note. As luck would have it, the gentleman turned out to be none other than a big executive officer of a certain airline corporation. Because of the telling instruction on the note, Professor Wiesel, with his characteristic head tilt to the right, noted with a rare but muted chuckle, he could fly in and out of India on that airline anytime--free of charge. However, in his very next breath he added, "But I flew only when I was hungry."
And I was happy to find out later that he got to visit Kathmandu, the cradle of my birth, on one of his famished flights.
Then he went on to touch on something in the class, a salient point of which had stuck in my craw ever since, but which would remain unsaid in public for the rest of my life..
After I revealed what was on my mind, Professor Wiesel got up and so did I. We both slowly fell into each other's embrace. And we sobbed.
Elie Wiesel's name is etched upon the linings of my lungs. I will remember my teacher as long as I live. And I will never forget his teaching:
"To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time."

Guillermo Rigondeaux's Long Journey To The American Dream…
April 11, 2013 by Peter Silkov 3 Comments
When Guillermo Rigondeaux comes face to face with Nonito Donaire in the ring this Saturday, it will be the culmination of a long journey for Rigondeaux that goes far beyond his mere eleven professional fights. The two men will be disputing who is the best Super-Bantamweight in the World, in what is an eagerly awaited encounter at the Radio City Music Hall New York.
But there will be far more at stake in this world title unification fight than each man's respective 122 pound title belts. This is the moment Rigondeaux has sought since before the beginning of his professional career, the chance to prove himself truly one of the elite boxers in the whole world, and in front of a huge world wide audience.
After what has become an almost mythical amateur career, with a rumoured 400 fights, with just 12 losses, Rigondeaux won Olympic Gold at Bantamweight, in the 2000 and 2004 Olympic games, and recognition as one of the greatest amateur boxers ever.
But having conquered the amateur world, Rigondeaux wanted more than what the Cuban system would allow him to have, to test himself against the best boxers at his weight in the professional world. The fighter found himself like many before him, torn between his loyalties to country and family, and his desire to pursue his dreams. It is hard to know how much of Rigondeaux's ambitions were rooted in his desire to fulfill his athletic potential as a professional boxer, or to pursue a better material life by way of the professional ring. The chances are that it was a mixture of both, just as it is for most fighters that have been brought up in the West. The mixture of glory and wealth is after all the answer to most peoples' dreams. But these kind of dreams are forbidden in Cuba, and the Cubans who risk chasing them find they have to pay a very high price.
Cuban boxers have long fascinated us, both for their pugilistic brilliance, and the mere fact that they originate from a place which is a world away from our own existences. Life in Cuba is a surreal experience, as if it is a land where time has stood still, while all around it, the world has moved on. Yet for all its material deprivations, Cuba holds a strange attraction. Like that of a forbidden city. The West loathes it politically, yet at the same time perhaps secretly envies it too. In the same way that Cuban boxers have been both feared and admired for so many years. Cuba's boxers have become the country's symbols of its independence and rejection of the West, and its values. With every defeat of a Western boxer at the fists of a Cuban, so Cuba has symbolically defeated the West yet again, especially its arch enemy, America.
Over the years the West has found that its most potent response to the Cuban boxers dominance, is to tempt the fighters to jump ship and defect, with the hope of fame and wealth as a professional the bait.
Many Cuban boxers have succumbed to the lure to test themselves in the professional ranks, and make their fortunes in the process. Of those that have made the move, some have found that the world of capitalism has its own pitfalls. The land of the free is perhaps not so free as first imagined.
There have been others who have resisted the lure of leaving Cuba for professional glory and wealth. Legendary Olympic Heavyweight champions, Teofilo Stevenson and Felix Savon, being the most famous to stay in Cuba, despite receiving huge offers to enter the professional world. Both refused the lure of the American dollar in exchange for the love of the Cuban people.
Guillermo made his first attempt at defecting to America in 2007, on the eve of the Pan American Games in Brazil. However Rigondeaux's attempt at freedom was denied when he was apprehended by Brazilian Police and returned to Cuba. Although Rigondeaux begged forgiveness for his attempted defection, the damage had been done. On his return, he found himself a pariah. Denounced publicly by Castro and forbidden to box for Cuba again, Rigondeaux found it difficult even to find a gym in which he could train just to keep in shape. He had become like a dead man walking.
Little surprise then, that when the chance arose again in 2009, for Guillermo to pursue a new life, he took it, fleeing into America via Mexico. Yet his escape from Cuba, and the prison it had become for him came at great cost to Guillermo, as he had to leave his wife and two sons behind.
Since his defection 'The Jackal' has embraced life in America and built up a 11-0 professional record, winning the WBA World Super-Bantamweight title in just his 9th contest. Despite his success, Rigondeaux has the sad face of a man with a complicated and traumatic past. Regarded by many of his fellow Cubans, (including his own father) as a traitor now, he dreams of one day being reunited with his wife and sons in America.
Now in facing 'The Filipino Flash', Rigondeaux has the chance to make all the sacrifices and heartaches worthwhile, and to prove himself not just the premier Super-Bantamweight in the world but also one of the best boxers in the world pound for pound. An accolade which Donaire has already gained for himself.
In many ways this clash is the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight which never was, and perhaps never will be, unfortunately. On one side stands a superb defensive technician, Rigondeaux, who knows every defensive trick in the book, but can also punch to fight-ending effect. On the other side there is Donaire, known more for his offensive abilities, including one of the best left hooks in the sport at the moment, who can also box skilfully and strategically when needed. This is one of those contests which comes around alas all too seldom. Two highly-gifted boxers, both in their primes and each unbeaten for a long stretch of time, in a fight where the winner is hard to pick with any certainty.
'The Filipino Flash' goes into this match-up as the favourite, mainly based upon his longer and more extensive professional career. But while it is true that Donaire is the most accomplished and dangerous opponent that 'the Jackal' has faced since turning professional, the same could be said for Rigondeaux being the toughest ever challenge for Donaire. 'The Filipino Flash' has never faced such a brilliant and dangerous counter-puncher, like 'the Jackal'.
This is a match which could conceivably be either an outright thriller, or a strategic chess match. Nonito, likes to pressure his opponents and will seek to make a high pace in this fight, as a slow pace would seem to favour the counter punching 'Jackal'. There have also been questions about the durability of Rigondeaux's chin, after he was seemingly shaken in his last fight against Robert Marroquin, and suffered a flash knockdown in a previous fight against Ricardo Cordoba. Some believe that once 'The Filipino Flash' connects with his patent left-hook, it will be all over.
However if Nonito believes too strongly in his ability to knockout 'The Jackal' it could play right into Rigondeaux's hands, (or rather fists) and leave Nonito open to one of 'the Jackals' deadly counters. While Nonito is known to have a good chin, he has never been hit to the body by a deadly body puncher such as Rigondeaux. No one really knows what will happen when 'The Jackal' connects with one of his shots to Nonitos rather soft looking midsection.
If Nonito stays on the outside and attempts to outbox 'The Jackal' he could find himself out-countered by Rigondeaux's precise and lighting fast counters. Also will the southpaw Rigondeaux be able to nullify 'The Filipino Flash's most potent weapon, his left hook?
Looking again at Rigondeaux, how will he handle the high pace which Nonito is likely to set, and how will he take Nonito's undoubted punching power, if and when the Filipino connects?
Both boxers will face searching questions in this fight, and have to face things they have never dealt with before inside the ring. This could be one of those special fights where each man forces the other to perform at a level they had never previously achieved.
My personal feeling is that Rigondeaux will rise further to this occasion, seeing it as the moment he has been striving for throughout his whole life, both in and out of the ring, and emerge victorious via points or a late stoppage.
But then I could be wrong!. That is the beauty of this sport, and of this particular contest. What is almost certain is that this is a good fight for boxing and should be one of those nights that shows the game at its best, unless we end up saddled with a controversial decision. Lets hope not.

Q: Parse file into u32strings using pugixml I am trying to store the parsed information in std::u32strings.
I see from the documentation that unicode is supported, but they only talk about wchars and wstrings.
Is there a way to use u32strings instead without explicitly having to convert it after parsing?


I have a Bosch dishwasher, Model# SHE3ARF2UC/SS and for some reason we can't get the dishwasher soap to rinse all the way. With this recent load I've ran the dishwasher (on a regular run or the short run) maybe 10 times now without soap. I left the soap dispenser empty and open, and the rinse aid door open as well and if you open the door part way through the run, there are suds at the bottom of the dishwasher even though we haven't added soap in quite a while. When the run is over, we have a small amount of suds in the bottom. The suds do look like normal dish soap, so I am wondering if the problem is with the plumbing? But the sink doesn't seem to be backing up. One thing I do remember, is my son maybe 2 or 3 months ago added Cascade gel to the rinse aid. I ran the dishwasher many times since then and I thought everything rinsed out, but maybe there is still a small amount in that compartment. Is there a way to rinse out the rinse aid dispenser (maybe take it apart and soak it)?
Any ideas what's going on? I have read a lot of complaints since maybe 2014 or so about dishwashers in general not rinsing out well (due to the phosphates being removed from detergents).
