Not Famous Enough To Overcome Monkey Business
You are here: Home » UDRP & URS » Not Famous Enough To Overcome Monkey Business
As those familiar with the new gTLD rollout know, the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) system was created as a less expensive and faster road to trademark enforcement than the longstanding Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). However, in a recent UDRP decision we were reminded that the UDRP itself was designed to be a less expensive and faster alternative to full-blown court litigation.
In this dispute the owner of the trademark RIMMEL for toiletries, cosmetics, soap, and perfumes claimed that the domain <rimmel.com> was an infringement of its rights to the brand. The domain was created in 1997 and was used briefly in 2005 for pay-per-click links to beauty-related products but, for most of its life, it resolved to a blank page or a Google search bar. The Panelist first addressed the passage of 16 years without any enforcement action by the brand owner but eventually dismissed the Respondent's claim of laches (delay) following the majority view that under the express terms of the UDRP, the passage of time, without more, does not make out a defense under this doctrine. However, this doesn't mean the passage of time is completely irrelevant when considering the three elements that must be proven in any UDRP case.
When the Panelist got to the third of those elements – the question of the Respondent's bad faith in registering the domain – he decided the trademark just wasn't sufficiently famous that he could conclude that anyone registering the <rimmel.com> domain name in 1997 did so with knowledge of the Complainant's brand. Besides, he concluded, if the Respondent had intended to monetize whatever goodwill exists in the mark it likely would have done so already. Failure to spring the trap after a 16 year hibernation suggests that it might not have been a trap in the first place.
Finally, despite mentioning Complainant's suspicions that the Respondent was hiding behind a false name and was really a well-known cybersquatter, and after characterizing some of the Respondent's own conduct and evidence in the case as "monkey business," the Panelist pointed out that UDRP is not appropriate for all domain name disputes. He commended the Complainant on having done a thorough job in researching and submitting its evidence but said, that with no witness cross-examination or document discovery permitted by the UDRP, the Policy requires the Panel to act on the evidence presented – not on mere suspicion or suggestion.
In a dispute with cloudy facts and evidence like this one, the courts would provide a better venue since they would enable the Complainant to probe further into the true facts surrounding the disputed domain and its owner. It will be interesting to follow this story and see if the brand owner will take this step and put the facts of this case to the test. However, after taking 16 years to pursue the domain name, we may be waiting quite a while before the Complainant pursues this monkey again.

Recycle, Reuse, Reprofit: Startups Try to Make Money Selling Your Stuff
By Katy Steinmetz
July 24, 2014 6:15 AM EDT
In a bustling San Francisco warehouse, a buyer for a startup called Twice is inspecting a pair of used jeans. She checks the buttonholes and zipper for snags, the legs and cuffs for wear. If the pants pass inspection, the old owner gets paid and the pants are cataloged, steamed and photographed before being listed on Twice's website–at a fraction of their original cost (perhaps $19 for Levi's). When someone else buys them, they become a pound or two of the 400 tons of clothing that Twice will resell this year. "It's environmental," says co-founder Noah Ready-Campbell of Twice's mission. "It's about reusing clothing and avoiding manufacturing more."
Twice is one of many startups attempting to make the environmentally sound choice preferable and easy for consumers while making a profit in the process. The statistics driving these efforts are shocking: In the U.S., 90% of mobile devices are thrown away rather than recycled. Up to 40% of the food produced gets trashed. Americans junk some 12 million tons of textiles each year. "There's no way we can continue to produce waste at the level that we are and survive on this planet," says Adam Werbach, a co-founder of Yerdle, a site where people trade things they might otherwise throw out. "It really is much easier to click a button than it is to knock on your neighbor's door." And that is the convenience gap these enviro-preneurs hope to close.
Consider the steps involved in listing a used iPhone on eBay: take a picture, set a fair price, outline the specs, connect your bank, pay fees, wait a week for bids to come in and then hope it actually sells. These are inefficiencies that Silicon Valley types seek out like bloodhounds. "People actually feel guilt that they're holding onto these items," says Ryan Mickle, founder of the electronics auction site FOBO, where bidding lasts only 97 minutes and the company suggests starting prices for you. But in surveys with potential users, he found that ignoring old stuff still causes less angst than confronting what can be the messy process of getting it to someone else.
Many items cluttering closets and garages are less desirable than gadgets: DVDs, picture frames, bird books, an old wine carafe. These are items companies like Listia and Yerdle want on their sites, where by giving things away, people earn credits that they can spend on other users' property. The sites aim to replace the rush that accompanies buying something new with the fun of bartering and the satisfaction that comes from giving away something you don't need. "People are seeking out human connection in our day-to-day economic transactions," says Arun Sundararajan, a business professor at New York University who studies these budding economies. "There is a noneconomic value that comes from giving your stuff to other people."
Sundararajan says that if a company like Yerdle achieves its aim of displacing 25% of new sales, that's good for the economy because it decreases waste. On the flip side, there is a possibility of job losses among people who make those new items. But he believes that other jobs in newer sectors would replace them, as happened when technological innovation put farmers out of work. "Efficiency is the name of the game in all of consumption," says Ready-Campbell of Twice, "and in the whole economy, really."

Q: Excel source in SSIS Package has a password So an SSIS job has been failing because the source file, an excel file, has a password on it.
Would we be the best way to ensure that the password is being used in the SSIS package? Thanks!

A: Unfortunately you can't open directly a password protected Excel file with SSIS with the standard connection.
A solution would be writing a custom Script Task (with C# or VB), opening the file with an Excel library like NPOI, EPPlus or Interop (or many other probably) and generating the output of the flow manually.
Another solution would be using 3rd parties SSIS connection adapters.
Worth mentioning that a workaround would be removing the password first with any utility (like powershell) and using the password-free resulting excel in your Excel connection manager on SSIS.

The Black Bar Endler's Livebearer (Poecilia wingei) is an extremely colorful, peaceful fish whose small size makes it absolutely perfect for the nano or planted aquarium. This fish is very similar to the larger common guppy (Poecilia reticulata). It is very hardy, especially for such a small fish.
While not a picky eater, the Black Bar Endler's Livebearer will thrive and remain very colorful on a varied diet of meaty foods supplemented with spirulina or other nutritious vegetable matter. High-quality and flake food, pellets, and frozen or freeze-dried tubifex and bloodworms will all be readily accepted.

Peak Hour Factor Data Update
In December I wrote about Peak Hour Factors (PHFs) and included a spreadsheet with about 3,500 peak hour counts we've done at Traffic Data Inc. Kordel rightly commented about cross-referencing the data against the total entering volume at the intersection (as the Highway Capacity Manual does).
It's taken a little while, but we entered that data and here's the updated spreadsheet - Download Peak Hour Factor MN Analysis. I'm hoping ITE's SimCap committee will take on the role of being a hub for this type of data (without putting it behind ITE's firewall) – I've talked with Dave and Orla about this type of thing.
Here are the average Peak Hour Factors from our Minnesota dataset:
Total entering volume greater than or equal to 1,000 vehicles per hour: 0.93
Total entering volume less than 1,000 vehicles per hour: 0.88
This is slightly different than the 0.92 and 0.90, respectively, recommended in the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual. It would be great if other folks would slice and dice the data in the spreadsheet to look at the PHFs from different angles and put there thoughts in the comments section. Does anyone know where the HCM's 0.92 and 0.90 recommendations came from?
Thank you for sharing this information, it will help a lot of drivers all over Minnesota.

This can be different from the rest of the world we speak of.


It's official, folks. Microsoft has finally confirmed that the highly anticipated Surface Phone will never become a reality, as the company now prefers focusing on entirely new form factors.
This has been revealed by Panos Panay himself, in an interview with Wired.
Long story short, Redmond will try to continue the trend that it started with the original Surface and use its resources to pioneer new product categories. Creating new, innovative form factors has now become a priority for Microsoft.
"Well, I wouldn't say that includes a Surface Phone. You have to think about where is that unmet need when you're thinking about your product roadmap, when you're thinking about your lineup. Of course we're always inventing, of course we're thinking about new form factors.
An answer that we already knew!
The next big project on the company's roadmap that aligns with this strategy is codenamed Andromeda, a device that is supposed to make use of a dual-screen design and supports multiple form factors.
Recent rumors indicate that Microsoft has pushed back the project from a previously speculated late 2018 release to somewhere in the fall of 2019, allegedly with the intention of improving the software that powers this machine.
As for Surface Phone, well, it's now a dream that will never come true.
It was a good dream!

The Real Truth About Mobile Living Explored In Documentary Called Without Bound [VIDEO]
DoItYourselfRV
Videographer Michael Tubbs traveled more than 4,500 miles, used over 150 gallons of gas, and spent 14 days filming a movie about the mobile living lifestyle.
The movie is called Without Bound and you can watch it for free on Youtube.
How the Documentary Without Bound Was Made
Michael got the idea for the project after his friend Aaron mentioned his desire to build a DIY teardrop camper.
Michael started researching teardrop trailers online, and came across CheapRVLiving, a site run by long-time van dweller and blogger, Bob Wells.
Wells is the author of the popular book, How to Live In a Car, Van, or RV: And Get Out of Debt, Travel, and Find True Freedom.
Excited by Bob's ideas on how to break free from the rat race, Michael read more about Bob and learned a lot about the mobile lifestyle through the CheapRVLiving Forums.
At first Michael thought,
Why would anyone choose to live, full-time, in a vehicle?
He couldn't understand why someone wanted to be without a home or dedicated address – permanently. Soon his perception changed, and Michael talked with his friend again (who at one time lived out of a van) about the idea of creating a film about the mobile living lifestyle.
A Trip to the Sierra National Forest
After coordinating schedules with Bob and fellow van dwellers, Michael and Aaron headed to the Sierra National Forest near Shaver Lake, California to meet up with the group and shoot the documentary.
Michael filming Bob Wells in the Sierra National Forest.
Michael Tubbs
Michael decided to skip the nuts and bolts 'how to' of van dwelling, and focus on the "personal philosophies of the individuals."
Michael says he named the film Without Bound because,
In mathematics, without bound is used to describe something that either increases or decreases infinitely. I encourage you to think about how that applies to your life. What is increasing? What is decreasing? Is the balance of the trade-off tilted in your favor? Are you happy? Is there a better way?

Appartenente alla famiglia Getty e primo dei quattro figli di John Paul Getty Jr., è stato il padre dell'attore Balthazar Getty, fratello del presidente della Getty Images Mark, nonché nipote del petroliere miliardario Jean Paul Getty, fondatore della compagnia statunitense Getty Oil.

Biografia
John Paul Getty III trascorre buona parte dell'infanzia a Roma quando suo padre John Paul Getty Jr. guida la filiale italiana della compagnia petrolifera di famiglia Getty Oil. I genitori hanno divorziato nel 1964, quando aveva otto anni, e suo padre si è risposato nel 1966 con la modella e attrice Talitha Pol. La famiglia adotta uno stile di vita hippy trascorrendo durante gli anni '60 molto tempo in Gran Bretagna e Marocco. L'11 luglio 1971 la matrigna muore a Roma per un'overdose di eroina. All'età di quindici anni è già stato espulso da sette scuole, ha posato nudo per una rivista erotica e assume regolarmente sostanze stupefacenti.

Getty, rimasto a Roma, vive con la madre Gail Harris nel quartiere Parioli e frequenta la St. George's British International School. All'inizio del 1972 è espulso dalla scuola dopo aver dipinto nell'atrio dell'edificio una scritta offensiva alta quasi due metri indirizzata al preside. Mentre suo padre è nel Regno Unito, Paul conduce in Italia uno stile di vita libertino, frequentando night club e prendendo parte a manifestazioni di sinistra. Dotato di notevole talento artistico, secondo alcune testimonianze, si guadagna da vivere realizzando gioielli, vendendo dipinti e facendo la comparsa in alcuni film. La rivista erotica Playmen paga Getty 1000 dollari per apparire nudo e in copertina su un numero che sarà pubblicato nell'agosto del 1973, un mese dopo il suo rapimento.

Il sequestro
Alle tre del mattino del 10 luglio 1973 è rapito, all'età di sedici anni, in piazza Farnese a Roma per opera della 'ndrangheta, l'organizzazione mafiosa calabrese collegata alle cosche ('ndrine) dei Mammoliti, Piromalli e Femia; è quindi bendato, trasportato e imprigionato in una cantina sotterranea nei pressi della stazione di Sicignano degli Alburni (SA). L'organizzazione malavitosa avanza una richiesta iniziale di riscatto di 17 milioni di dollari in cambio della sua restituzione, ma le forze dell'ordine sono scettiche anche dopo la consegna di una lettera disperata del rapito alla madre e la telefonata a quest'ultima da parte di un uomo che, presentandosi come uno dei sequestratori, si offre di consegnarle un orecchio mozzato a riprova del fatto che il figlio sia ancora in vita.

Gli investigatori esitano poiché temono che si tratti di una truffa escogitata dal rampollo per estorcere denaro al facoltoso nonno. Lo stesso Jean Paul Getty è restio al pagamento e teme che il riscatto inciterebbe ulteriori tentativi di rapimento ai danni degli altri quattordici nipoti. Anche il padre del ragazzo dichiara la sua impossibilità di affrontare un simile pagamento.

Tre mesi dopo l'orecchio destro e una ciocca di capelli di John Paul sono fatti pervenire dai rapitori alla redazione romana del quotidiano Il Messaggero, allo scopo di indurre l'inflessibile e avaro nonno a pagare il riscatto. Alcune fotografie lasciate in un barattolo sul tratto autostradale Roma-Napoli ed una lettera del ragazzo nella quale supplica la famiglia di pagare i rapitori sono pubblicate successivamente dal giornale Il Tempo. Nel frattempo la salute di Paul comincia a peggiorare poiché, avendo già contratto la polmonite, la ferita sull'orecchio s'infetta rapidamente. I rapitori allarmati da questa situazione improvvisa trattano il malato con alte dosi di penicillina che lo conducono ad un'allergia agli antibiotici e più tardi ad un indebolimento generale e permanente del suo stato di salute. Il biografo di Getty, John Pearson, attribuirà il successivo alcolismo alle grandi quantità di brandy assunte forzatamente affinché sentisse più calore e intorpidisse nello stesso tempo i dolori avvertiti.

La famiglia decide di scendere a patti coi rapitori che riducono le loro richieste all'equivalente di circa 3 milioni di dollari: il nonno sborsa personalmente la cifra massima deducibile dalle tasse pari a 2,2 milioni ed il resto del riscatto è pagato dal padre del ragazzo John Paul Getty Jr.; quest'ultimo però s'impegnerà a restituire ad un interesse del 4% annuo la somma prestatagli dal padre. Le banconote vengono così consegnate ad un emissario e, dietro specifiche indicazioni dei sequestratori, messe all'interno di tre sacchi posti in una zona rurale vicino Rivello. È quindi liberato il 15 dicembre 1973 sull'autostrada Salerno-Reggio Calabria, ove è ritrovato da un camionista all'altezza di Lauria (PZ), dopo cinque mesi di segregazione e il pagamento di un miliardo e settecento milioni di lire. Quello stesso giorno il capostipite della famiglia, che per sua intercessione ha consentito al nipote di ritrovare la libertà, compie ottantuno anni.

Il processo di primo grado per il rapimento di Paul Getty III si conclude a Lagonegro nel luglio del 1976 e scagiona dalla fattispecie di reato i due principali indiziati: i capibastone Girolamo Piromalli e Saverio Mammoliti; vengono invece condannati altri due imputati in qualità di esecutori materiali del sequestro. Il denaro del riscatto, tranne poche banconote, non verrà mai rintracciato.

La vita familiare
Nel 1974 John Paul Getty III sposa all'età di diciott'anni la giovane tedesca Gisela Zacher, incinta di cinque mesi, venendo contemporaneamente diseredato. Nel 1975 nasce l'unico figlio: Paul Balthazar Getty. La coppia divorzia nel 1993.

Il cinema
Nel 1980 partecipa alle riprese del film Lo stato delle cose di Wim Wenders. Il regista apprezzava le sue potenzialità recitative e avrebbe voluto impiegarlo in altri film, se l'ictus dell'anno successivo non lo avesse lasciato totalmente inabile.

La malattia e la morte
Nel 1981, a seguito di un ictus provocato dall'assunzione di una miscela a base di metadone, alcol e valium, diviene quasi cieco, disartrico e paralizzato. Muore nel 2011 all'età di cinquantaquattro anni nella sua tenuta di Wormsley Park, a Wormsley, nella contea di Buckinghamshire in Inghilterra.

Il sequestro nel cinema e in TV

 Il romanziere inglese A. J. Quinnell fu il primo a sfruttare la vicenda del rapimento di Getty come fonte d'ispirazione per un libro, poi intitolato Man on Fire.
 Nel 1995 fu pubblicato un altro libro scritto da John Pearson intitolato Painfully Rich: The Outrageous Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Heirs of J. Paul Getty che include contenuti significativi sul rapimento.
 Il libro è stato poi rielaborato per l'adattamento cinematografico Tutti i soldi del mondo, diretto da Ridley Scott e uscito nelle sale nel 2017. Nel film il miliardario capostipite Jean Paul Getty è impersonato da Christopher Plummer, mentre John Paul Getty III è interpretato da Charlie Plummer all'età del rapimento e Charlie Shotwell per le scene ambientate durante l'infanzia.
 L'anno seguente la storia del rapimento è stata riadattata nella serie televisiva Trust, prodotta da Simon Beaufoy e Danny Boyle, con Harris Dickinson nei panni di John Paul Getty III.

After winning the two previous tournaments our Tag Rugby team went to Horspath Sports ground to compete in The Chairman's County Cup tournament.
During the group stage we won 9-4 against St Marys school, Henley and 9-6 against Benson school. We then lost 6-5 to Rush Common in a tense affair and drew 5-5 versus Launton.
Finishing 2nd in our group we progressed through to the semi final and in a repeat of last year's final we came up against Windmill school. They took full advantage of having the start and in a try for try game The Batt narrowly lost 7-6. However we avenged our earlier defeat by beating Rush Common 6-4 in the play off to come a creditable 3rd overall in the tournament.
A massive well done to all involved.


The Ministry of Culture announced on its website on Thursday that it had once again recognised the historical, brutalist shopping centre Kotva in Prague, as part of the country's protected cultural heritage.
The building, which was built in the 1970s and designed by the husband and wife architect duo of Vladimir and Vera Machonin, represents a high-point in the city's brutalist architectural history.
It was first recognised as a protected cultural monument in the Fall of 2018. However, after the ownership of the building changed hands, the Ministry revoked the decision, till the new owner re-applied for the status.

Coulthard laments mistake trying to win 'for the dads'
By Simon Chapman
Sunday 16th August, 2020 - 3:36pm
Fabian Coulthard
Fabian Coulthard apportioned over-exuberance for a mistake while fighting for his first win of the Supercars season in Race 14 at Hidden Valley Raceway.
Having qualified second for the penultimate race of the BetEasy Darwin Triple Crown, Coulthard started from the clean side of the road.
The Shell V-Power Racing Team driver got a better launch than that of team-mate Scott McLaughlin and duly took the holeshot into the first turn.
Coulthard pitted on Lap 5, handing the lead to McLaughlin who in turn pitted a lap later.
Despite coming into the lane a lap earlier, McLaughlin was able to return to the track in the effective lead of the race.
As he sought to reel McLaughlin in at Turn 1, Coulthard locked up his inside front left wheel and went off the road and lost second place to Whincup.
"In all honesty, I probably got a little excited," said Coulthard of the Turn 1 misdemeanour.
"I was trying to get one up for the boys, one for the Dads out there.
"I just locked a little bit of a left front brake and you're on the absolute threshold anyway of braking as late as you can and the last thing you need is a slight lock-up.
"There wasn't too much smoke so it probably looks a little bit worse but that's the way it is."
Coulthard lamented the mistake, which ultimately meant he couldn't compete with McLaughlin who streaked away for the win.
Instead, the Kiwi was left to fight with Red Bull Holden Racing Team driver Jamie Whincup, who held on to second place.
"Unfortunately it got me today," Coulthard said of his cold tyres as he returned to the track.
"There is a braking imbalance from cold tyres on the right opposed to the left so, look, you live and you learn.
"To salvage a podium out of today is probably not too bad but I would love to have got the win.
"We were pushing very hard and we got a fantastic start but, for whatever reason, it wasn't to be."
With finishes of sixth and third in the two races, Coulthard remains firmly in the fight for the Darwin Triple Crown trophy.
The round points standings are led by Anton De Pasquale while Coulthard lies second. James Courtney sits third with McLaughlin fourth.
"That'd be fantastic but let's not forget how Scott won the Triple Crown this time last year," said Coulthard.
"That was an amazing achievement being able to win quali and then win all the races. It'd be nice to win that trophy but I think it's a little easier way to win it.
"That would be the icing on the cake to get that trophy but we'll just take the race as it comes. We'll and do the best we can and if it's good enough to take it home then so be it."
Coulthard will start Race 15, the final race of the BetEasy Darwin Triple Crown, from sixth on the grid. Team-mate McLaughlin will start from pole position.

I had a great day in the Auckland city yesterday. I was invited back to Diocesan School for Girls by the Leadership Team to speak and facilitate a workshop for the Year 6 students. The students are writing a book this week and I was happy to share my experience of writing my book, 'Finding Happiness' with them.
When I was planning what to say and how to best help them get started, I was reminded of the many conversations I had with students over the years. I would say "I believe if you feel strongly about something and are somehow personally connected to your idea it is easier to find an artistic voice". Many students would say "I have nothing to say". The more we talked the more they realised they did have something to say. The magic was me asking them questions and helping them link their answers. Never wanting to be the bearer of all knowledge I decided to show them my thinking aloud. I was inspired to quiz them about Art, life, their favourite colour, fashions, books, trends, etc. It was a wonderful process that allowed them to find their own unique voice.
The random personal quiz was what I shared with the year 6 students. It is a way of figuring out what you want and how you will get it. By asking yourself a series of questions, some of them useful, others random by design, you can spark your imagination. You can then decide what you like most and brainstorm out further. Finally you find the links between words and ideas to create an outcome. Amazingly this process seems to be fun, accessible, creative and successful. What is most exciting is that it takes away the pressure of being right or having to come up with that one perfect original idea.
The students seemed to enjoy the workshop and I am looking forward to seeing their final books, as I am sure they will be fantastic!


The fact remains that in an overwhelming majority of clients, filing for bankruptcy will not further damage your credit. Most people thinking about filing for bankruptcy already have a low credit score because they either have a tremendous amount of debt or because they have only been paying the minimum payments and/or have been late with their payments or not paying at all. In these cases, most people would be surprised to find out that filing for bankruptcy may actually improve their score much quicker.


For nearly as long as there's been a Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall there's been a Sunday car sale in the parking lot. It's as much a tradition in Tsawwassen as the service club who operate it, the Tsawwassen-Boundary Bay Lions.
"I moved here in 1979 and it was already started at that time," says Lions past-president Gary Keller, a member of the club for close to 25 years. "It might even have been a year old. The Lions were given this spot by the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall and Century Group about 16 or 17 years ago and it's been one of our most successful campaigns we've had for earning money in the community so we can give back to the community."
The Sunday car sale is as simple as showing up and registering with the Lions on site. A volunteer will check the paperwork to ensure the vehicle is properly insured and then it's just $15 to have the car parked there all day long. If it doesn't sell, the owner can come back on a consecutive Sunday and just pay $10. The sale is for private sellers only, and each registrant receives a "For Sale" sign.
Gary says most sellers are local or from the Greater Vancouver Area, but there are people who take the ferry over from Victoria or drive in from the Interior.
"So the reputation of the sale is well ingrained," he adds.
The Sunday car sale is one of the biggest income earners for the Lions, and the service club puts all the money back into the local community. It was proceeds from the car sale, in fact, that allowed the club to purchase a 26-foot mobile kitchen unit in 2012, which now caters up to eight events each summer. Proceeds from the mobile kitchen, along with their other community events like Christmas tree chipping, goes right back into South Delta charitable organizations.
For instance, last October the club donated $50,000 to the Reach Child and Youth Development Society to help build the $5 million, 20,000-square-foot "Building for Children Together" project in Ladner, which will service developmentally disabled children in South Delta.
Not only that, the club managed to secure $50,000 USD from Lions International headquarters in Chicago to chip in to the project as well.
"So that's quite a feather in our cap."
Typically, the Lions will have four or five volunteers run the car sale each Sunday. The first shift begins at 7:30 a.m. to set up and begin vehicle registrations, and then more volunteers are needed throughout the day as the cars are on the lot until 7 p.m.
Why not come by next Sunday? You never know what kind of deal you might find.
"There's many people who have bought and sold two or three cars here. Some buy them for their kids when they're going back to school. Small cars seem to go very quickly. Once again, we're indebted to the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall and Century Group for providing this community service."

Q: How do I change the "sleep" function to work in Internet Explorer? So I have a website where you can click a button which then redirects you to a different page. The redirection should not happpen instantly but after like 3 seconds. For this I found here on Stackoverflow a code snippet which works perfectly in Chrome and Firefox, but it doesn't in Internet Explorer.
Tested it in Chrome and Firefox where it works perfectly fine.
Doesn't in Internet Explorer though..
function sleep(ms) {
      return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
    }

    async function redirect(user) {
        await sleep(500);
        document.getElementById("redirect" + user).innerHTML = "Redirecting.";
        await sleep(700);
        document.getElementById("redirect" + user).innerHTML = "Redirecting..";
        await sleep(700);
        document.getElementById("redirect" + user).innerHTML = "Redirecting...";
        await sleep(700);
        window.open("url", "_newtab");
        await sleep(1000);
        document.getElementById("redirect" + user).innerHTML = "";
    }

Should redirect me to a site after some time.
Doens't work in Internet Explorer.
Error Message: "Syntaxerror"
Where?: => in return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

A: Your code uses several features IE11 doesn't have:

*

*Promises

*Arrow functions

*async/await
Either don't use those, or transpile to ES5 and include a promise polyfill. Babel is one tool you can use for that.
In that code, "not using those" would probably be to simply nest the setTimeout callbacks:
setTimeout(function() {
    document.getElementById("redirect" + user).innerHTML = "Redirecting.";
    setTimeout(function() {
        document.getElementById("redirect" + user).innerHTML = "Redirecting..";
        setTimeout(function() {
            document.getElementById("redirect" + user).innerHTML = "Redirecting...";
            setTimeout(function() {
                window.open("url", "_newtab");
                setTimeout(function() {
                    document.getElementById("redirect" + user).innerHTML = "";
                }, 1000);
            }, 700);
        }, 700);
    }, 700);
}, 500);

Although you could do it with a loop as well.
You can see why the newer features are desirable.

A: IE11 (released in 2013) does not support async functions (specified in ES2017), or arrow functions, or Promises. Use setTimeout instead:
function makeTimeout(time, user, msg) {
  setTimeout(time, function() {
    document.getElementById("redirect" + user).innerHTML = msg;
  }, time);
}
function redirect(user) {
  makeTimeout(500, user, "Redirecting.");
  makeTimeout(500 + 700, user, "Redirecting..");
  makeTimeout(500 + 700 + 700, user, "Redirecting...");
  setTimeout(function() {
    window.open("url", "_newtab");
  }, 500 + 700 + 700 + 700);
  makeTimeout(500 + 700 + 700 + 700 + 1000, user, '');
}

A: You can use setTimeout directly without a Promise to do this.

function redirect(user) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        document.getElementById("redirect" + user).innerHTML = "Redirecting.";
    }, 500);
    setTimeout(function() {
        document.getElementById("redirect" + user).innerHTML = "Redirecting..";
    }, 1200);
    setTimeout(function() {
        document.getElementById("redirect" + user).innerHTML = "Redirecting...";
    }, 1900);
    setTimeout(function() {
        window.open("url", "_newtab");
    }, 2600);
}

The ribonucleic acid component of the ribosome
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a nucleic acid, which similar to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is made up of linear chains of monomeric nucleotides. Each nucleotide component, in turn, is made up of phosphoric acid, sugar, and nitrogenous base. RNA differs from DNA in generally being single-stranded and with a ribose sugar component as opposed to DNA's deoxyribose sugar. Another marked difference is the uracil of RNA in place of thymine in DNA. Thus, adenine complementary base pairs with uracil in RNAs. One of the main functions of RNA is for protein synthesis. There are three major types of RNA involved in this process: (1) messenger RNA (mRNA), (2) transfer RNA (tRNA), and (3) ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Ribosomal RNA is the RNA constituent of the ribosome.
Ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) is a ribonucleic acid that, together with the ribosomal proteins, makes up the ribosome. Ribosomal RNA does not carry the code in making proteins. Rather, it forms the two subunits (i.e. large subunit and small subunit) of a ribosome. The large subunit serves as a ribozyme; it catalyzes the peptide bond formation between two amino acids. The ribosome, in turn, serves as the site of protein synthesis. It has three binding sites: A, P, and E sites. The A site binds to tRNA with an amino acid (called aminoacyl-tRNA). The P site is the site in a ribosome occupied by tRNA carrying the growing peptide chain (i.e. peptidyl tRNA). The E site is the site for decylated tRNA on transit out from the ribosome.1 Using messenger RNA as a template, the ribosome traverses each codon and pair it with a specific amino acid attached to a transfer RNA.
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes are made up of two ribosomal subunits. The subunits of the ribosomes are identified by their sedimentation rate represented by Svedberg unit (S). The prokaryotic ribosome (70S) is made up of 50S (large subunit) and 30S (small subunit). The eukaryotic ribosome (80S) consists of 60S (large subunit) and 40S (small subunit). N.B. the S units do not add up since they represent measures of sedimentation rate, not mass. In prokaryotes, the 30S ribosomal subunit contains the 16S rRNA whereas the 50S ribosomal subunit contains 5S rRNA and 23S rRNA. In mammals, the 40S ribosomal subunit contains the 18S rRNA whereas the 60S ribosomal subunit contains rRNAs: 5S, 5.8S, and 28S.

Eukaryote: R. norvegicus2
Prokaryotic rRNAs are located in the cytoplasm whereas eukaryotic rRNAs are located in cytoplasm (in ribosomes), nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplast. In mammalian cells, there are four cytoplasmic rRNAs (i.e. 28S, 5.8S, 18S, and 5S) and two mitochondrial rRNAs (i.e. 12S and 16S).
In eukaryotes, rRNAs are synthesized chiefly in the nucleolus. In mammals, 18S, 28S, and 5.8S rRNA genes in the nucleolus organizer region are transcribed into a pre-rRNA (referred to specifically as 45S pre-RNA) by RNA polymerase I. The result is a large pre-rRNA made up of 18S, 28S, and 5.8S. After processing, they are released individually. As for the 5S rRNA, the genes encoding for it are transcribed into pre-5S rRNA by the RNA polymerase III outside the nucleolus. To form the large subunit (i.e. 60S) of the ribosomal complex, 5S rRNA combines with 28S and 5.8S rRNA. 18S, in turn, forms the small subunit (i.e. 40S) by combining with the ribosomal proteins.
Ribosome biogenesis is the process of ribosome synthesis that occurs in the cytosol. In mammals, including humans, ribosome forms by the assembly of 60S and 40S rRNAs. However, 60S and 40S constituents form inside the nucleus, chiefly in the nucleolus. The ribosomal proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm but are transported into the nucleus to combine with rRNA subunits. They, then, move from the nucleus into the cytoplasm for ribosomal complex assembly in the cytosol.
rRNAs are essential as constituents of ribosomes, the site of protein synthesis. Apart from that, rRNAs are important in evolutionary and taxonomic researches. They may also be used as target in medicine. Some of the antibiotics such as erythromycin, streptomycin, and ricin are designed to disrupt rRNAs of pathogenic microbes.
rRNAs pertain to the nucleic acids in the ribosomes. rDNAs should not be construed as another type of nucleic acid present in the ribosome. The term rDNA is used to refer to the gene clusters that encode for the rRNAs. rRNAs are used as basis in taxonomy and evolution. rDNAs, which are the genes coding for ribosomal RNAs, are sequenced in order to identify the taxonomic group of an organism as well as estimate the rate of species divergence.

Characters in The Hobbit
Third Age characters


When a paragraph in an evening newspaper reveals a decades-old tragedy, most readers barely give it a glance.
But for three strangers it's impossible to ignore.
I had heard great things about The Widow but never read it so when i managed to get a copy of this from a book exchange i was very excited, as you can from the synopsis not alot is given away, just how one small story is going to change alot of peoples lives.
Kate is a journalist and has had her big break a long time ago and nothing much since, in a place where more and more people are loosing their jobs daily she is constantly seeking something big, something to keep her safe. When a small story appears in the paper, about a babies body being found buried on what is now a building site. Kate wants answers, who is the baby? why was it buried? She takes it upon herself to get those answers!
Meanwhile, others are noticing the story and some panicking, some remembering and some grieving we start to follow Kates investigation as she discovers secrets you cannot even think of.
The Child was a wonderful read, i guessed some of it pretty early on, then decided i had it wrong - then nope, its correct - but not what it seems and thats what i love, it seemed so obvious but then it wasn't. I love something that keeps you guessing, that keeps you looking for answers and reasons and Fiona has done a wonderful job.
I love a thriller that is realistic and you know that in real life it could happen - its not too far fetched, and it was well paced that it kept me interested without my brain hurting!
My career has taken some surprising twists and turns over the years. I have been a journalist - senior writer at the Daily Mail, news editor at the Daily Telegraph, and chief reporter at The Mail on Sunday, where I won Reporter of the Year at the National Press Awards, gave up my job to volunteer in Sri Lanka and since 2008, have trained and worked with exiled and threatened journalists all over the world. But through it all, a story was cooking in my head. The worm of this book infected me long ago when, as a national newspaper journalist covering notorious crimes and trials, I found myself wondering what the wives of those accused really knew – or allowed themselves to know. It took the liberation of my career change to turn that fascination into a tale of a missing child, narrated by the wife of the man suspected of the crime, the detective leading the hunt, the journalist covering the case and the mother of the victim. Much to my astonishment and delight, The Widow is available now in the UK, and around the world in the coming months. However, the sudden silence of my characters feels like a reproach and I am currently working on a second book. My husband and I are living the good life in south-west France, where I am writing in bed, early in the morning when the only distraction is our cockerel, Sparky, crowing.
Thanks for sharing this snippet about the book, I want to and grab it and spend and afternoon reading it.

"Our Schools of Technology offer our students a dynamic, first-class education that will provide them with the foundation for a successful future."
The school district provides computer equipment, computer services, and Internet access to its pupils and staff for educational purposes only. The purpose of providing technology resources is to improve learning and teaching through research, teacher training, collaboration, dissemination and the use of global communication resources. The "system administrators" referred to herein as employees of the school district who administer the school district computer network(s)/computers and the system administrators reserve the right to monitor all activity on network(s)/computer facilities/computers.
Because of the complex association between so many government agencies and computer network(s)/computers, teaching staff members must adhere to strict regulations. Regulations are provided here so that teaching staff members are aware of their responsibilities. The school district may modify these regulations at any time by publishing modified regulations on the network(s) and elsewhere.
Teaching staff members are responsible for good behavior on computer network(s)/computers. Communications on the computer network(s)/computers are often public in nature. Policies and Regulations governing teaching staff members behavior and communications apply.

Access to computer network services/computers is given to teaching staff members who are expected to act in a considerate, responsible and professional manner. Access is a privilege, not a right. Access entails responsibility. Individual users of the district computer network(s)/computers are responsible for their behavior and communications over the computer network(s)/computers. It is presumed that users will comply with district standards. Beyond the clarification of such standards, the district is not responsible for the actions of individuals utilizing the computer network(s)/computers who violate the policies and regulations of the Board.
Computer network(s)/computer storage areas shall be treated in the same manner as other school storage facilities. Computer network(s)/computer administrators may review files and communications to maintain system integrity and ensure that users are using the system responsibly. Users should not expect that files stored on district servers will always be private. Users should expect all files stored on district servers will be available for review by the Supervisor of Technology and/or school administrators.

Peter Powning
A Retrospective / Une Rétrospective
edited by John Leroux
ceramics, monographs, sculpture & installation
A CBC New Brunswick Book List Selection
"I start with an original object, break it, and transform parts of the piece into other materials. These pieces gather meaning and explanation as I work with them."
Peter Powning is simultaneously referred to as a sculptor and a ceramist, but his art does not fit easy categorization, incorporating and combining elements from one medium into another. His work challenges the viewer to reconsider the object, its form, and its function. This inventiveness has resulted in numerous exhibitions, awards, and commissions for public art sculptures throughout Canada.
Featuring 175 full-colour images of Powning's work along with essays by curators and critics, Peter Powning celebrates the career of one of Canada's finest visual artists and accompanies a major retrospective exhibition organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.
John Leroux is an award-winning art historian, curator, and architect. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture from McGill University and a Master of Arts in Art History from Concordia University and is currently the Manager of Collections and Exhibitions at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. He is the author of thirteen books including Building New Brunswick and The Lost City.
"A pleasure to read, and the perfect coffee table book to showcase inventive New Brunswick art."
— [EDIT]
"The book is much more than a usual exhibition catalogue: its bilingual text and images of the work, most photographed by Powning himself, offer a rare, intimate glimpse into a life devoted to the pursuit of a multi-disciplined practice."
— Billie

Characters and Covers, aka "What the heck do those guys really look like?"
So, I was the guest author at a fabulous book club meeting on Friday. It was so much fun--the ladies were smart and entertaining (no, I'm not just saying that because they like my book...but it helps *grin*), and the hostess laid out a fantastic, Swedish-themed smorgasbord of goodies, from Swedish meatballs right through strawberry-rhubarb pie. There was even a bowl of my favorite Swedish fish gummy candy. Yum!
One of the things we talked about is who might play my characters if a TV show or movie were ever made. They wanted to know how Ciel and Billy and Mark look to me.
So, do you ever wonder how an author sees his/her own characters?
You could be surprised. It might not be anything at all like how you picture them while you're reading...and that's okay. I'm of the camp that thinks readers should have a little wiggle room in how they envision characters they choose to spend time with for the space of a book.
Now, if you've read In a Fix, you may notice that Ciel doesn't look much like she's depicted on the cover of the book. Though, of course, she could if she wanted to, being an aura adaptor and all. This may come as a surprise to you, but cover artists don't always go by the character descriptions given by authors. And the marketing department sometimes decides long, red hair on covers sells better than short, strawberry blond hair. Or something. Whatever. I still like the cover.
See what I mean? A type.

Do you picture characters vividly as you're reading?
For the writers among you, do you ever have a real person in mind (celebrity or otherwise) while you're writing a physical description?
If you've read In a Fix, is your vision of Ciel, Billy, and Mark close to mine?
Yes! There ARE flying camels!
The ice skating kind. Why was I thinking of that? Because.
Oh, come on. Does one really need a reason to think of ice skating? Isn't it enough that it's there? And, you know, has a vague connection to camels so it's fair game for one of my Hump Day posts?
Yes. Yes, that is enough.
*Please don't ever quote that line out of context.
Carol Kilgore has always had stories and characters in her head. She wrote short fiction for a few years and enjoyed a small success as a freelancer before giving it all up for her true love – novels.
As a Coast Guard wife, Carol has lived in locations across the U.S. She and her husband now live in a San Antonio suburb and share their home and patio with two active herding dogs whose mission is to keep them free from danger, real or imagined.
From chilling prologue to final paragraph, Carol Kilgore's SOLOMON'S COMPASS is an edge-of-your-seat mystery offering a pitch-perfect blend of suspense and romance, with enough twists to keep readers compulsively turning the page. Compelling characters, a vivid Texas Gulf Coast landscape, and a town full of intriguing suspects make this novel a standout.
Hi, and thanks for hosting me today, Linda.
You know how some days are so perfect they could have come straight out of a fairytale?
No? Me, neither. Except for rare exceptions. To balance the fairytale days, I get days ruled by the Queen of the Glitch Fairies. But most of my days, although good, aren't complete without a couple of glitches and a few oh-no moments along the way.
And then came Solomon's Compass. Almost everything concerning the writing and promoting of this novel has been filled with trials and mishaps.
In January, I blogged about some of the writing mishaps here. But I didn't expect the Curse of the Glitch Fairy Queen to continue. Silly me. I should have known better.
In February I started chatting about Solomon's Compass online. In March, I did a blog promotion with a double giveaway on my blog every week. A guest gave away a book at my blog while I gave away a book elsewhere. A few of those giveaways were a little glitchy technology wise. Or maybe it was The Queen at work. Or Mercury in retrograde.
The obstacles didn't stop with things. People were affected, too. During this blog tour set up and the giveaways in March, one blogger's computer crashed, one had to cancel because of emergency surgery, and another had to reschedule due to a deadline.
Could there be anything else? Sshhh! I'm afraid to ask.
I have one more day to go on this tour. But I've written all the posts ahead, so I'm not sure what else I'll add to this list by the time I'm actually here at Linda's.
Let's hope it's not much!
Have you ever had an entire project riddled with obstacles and complications from start to finish?
No? I want your secrets!


President George H.W. Bush welcomed the two adopted children of Curt Smith, Bush's former speechwriter, to the U.S. with personal letters.
Curt and Sarah Smith had been back at their Chili home a short time in 2001 — having returned from the Ukraine where they'd adopted two children — when the letter from Smith's former employer arrived.
The letters were addressed to the two children — 21-month-old Olivia and 9-month-old Travis.
"I want to be your friend," the letters read. "I used to be President of the United States. Now, though, I am a happy, private citizen."
Smith served as a speechwriter for Bush, who died Friday at the age of 94. The letters to Smith's children sum up the former president's character, Smith said.
"This is really the embodiment of what Bush is," Smith said Saturday in an interview at his Chili home. " ... The kindness, the extraordinary grace, the love. It's pure Bush."
Even as president, Bush was known to spend hours writing to citizens and others who had corresponded with him, said Smith, who is now a senior lecturer in English at the University of Rochester. Bush would often disappear for hours into an anteroom off the Oval Office, where he kept a computer and small TV, and type or hand-write letters and thank-you notes.
In 2001, of course, Olivia and Travis Smith were too young to understand the historical significance of the man who'd written them, hoping that they could be friends. Now they do, Smith said.
"I think it's fair to say there are very few presidents or leaders of any company ... who would do that kind of thing."
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered government flags to be flown at half-staff in honor of George H.W. Bush.
Cuomo, a Democrat, said in a statement Saturday that the Republican president was "a great unifier of Americans, always putting country before party." He said Bush showed "the compassion, decency and good humor that is often lacking in our politics today."
"Our city and our country mourn the passing of former President George H.W. Bush. President Bush's public service started as a decorated Navy Pilot in World War II and continued until his death. ... His demeanor in politics was of a 'kinder gentler' brand than we often see today in national politics and he was genuinely respected by other former Presidents from both political parties. In a fitting tribute his grandson George said: 'His courage was matched by his compassion; and his dedication to country was equaled only by his devotion to his family.' May he Rest In Peace and may we as a country once again find a 'kinder, gentler' tone for our politics."


YouTube may be losing money, but it's not losing nearly as much as some claim. Certainly not the $470 million that Credit Suisse projected in April, citing massive infrastructure costs. According to IT research outfit RampRate, a more realistic assessment of YouTube's operating loss for 2009 is $174 million, nearly $300 million less than Credit Suisse's estimate.
Why the discrepancy? RampRate says Credit Suisse vastly overestimated YouTube's bandwidth, storage, and data center costs. Worse, it failed to account for Google's peering agreements, which significantly reduce Internet transit costs by exchanging traffic locally with other large networks. RampRate figures Google (GOOG) pays for about 27 percent of YouTube's bandwidth. It trades for the remaining 73 percent through peering deals.
If that's the case, why didn't Google take issue with Credit Suisse's (CS) projections? Why does it allow this perception of YouTube as money pit to persist? Well, silence is golden, is it not? "Any appearance of profits leads to more draconian revenue share demands from partners and additional lawsuits from owners of unlicensed content," Ramprate explains. "An apparent loss deters this behavior, making it eminently advisable for Google to let rumors of YouTube's losses grow and compound….


At Daneshill, it is our aim to create a stimulating and enjoyable curriculum for each and every pupil. We hope that our pupils will find the curriculum both accessible and challenging, in order to produce each pupil's highest personal standards of attainment. We hope to instil a love of the subject, so that English becomes more than a subject but something that will grow with each pupil as they mature. It is important that English study at Daneshill embraces more than the written word, as drama, presentation work and debate are integral parts of the subject. Pupils will visit the theatre, as well as undertake specialist writing or drama-based workshops. Pupils will meet authors, poets and illustrators, in order to learn first hand how books are created.
Regardless of ability, English should be a subject enjoyed by all, as each pupil's strengths should be nurtured. Ideally, by the end of Year 8, pupils should be fluent readers, confident speakers and articulate writers. Pupils will work beyond the Key Stage 2 curriculum, in order to make the smooth transition between the preparatory phase and the senior school curriculum.
Resources are reviewed regularly, to ensure they are meeting the needs of our pupils. When planning and revising schemes of work, teachers will take into account the individual requirements of each pupil and tailor it accordingly. So many aspects of English are about life and the preparation for life. There is no such thing as an average child: each one is unique.


Almost no one would have done what Dave Bauer did. Before he became the owner of Asheville's Farm & Sparrow Bakery, Bauer taught himself his craft. After years of study, he earned a coveted post at Thomas Keller's Bouchon in Napa Valley, one of the country's most acclaimed restaurants.
But two weeks before he was supposed to start his new job, he heard about a small bakery in a mysterious town hundreds of miles away. "I had this choice: Go to California and work in this very high profile restaurant or move to a place in the mountains of North Carolina that I had never heard of," Bauer recalls. "One seemed more exciting than the other. I canceled the job in California."
Bauer never regretted the decision, and he hardly stopped making bread for long enough to recognize his success. Today, Bauer's bakery has grown and expanded, and he co-owns a popular River Arts District restaurant, All Souls Pizza. "People were really craving what we were making," he says. "We offer a unique experience of something we love to do, and we hope people enjoy that."
Bauer partners with farmers to grow heirloom wheat that thrives in the mountains and possesses a distinct flavor, almost like wine. Through the bread, pizza crust and polenta dishes at All Souls, diners taste Asheville and explore new flavors. "The restaurant is not that different from the farmers market," Bauer says. "For years, I sold bread there and talked to people about how I made it. At the restaurant, we offer pizza, polenta and pasta dishes, and in the conversations that happen around the food, people exchange ideas."
