Nike profit up but shares tumble on US concerns
By Alexandria Sage
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Nike Inc stressed on Wednesday that it was still a growth company even as U.S. weakness spooked investors, sending shares down 5 percent on a day when the world's largest athletic shoe and apparel maker posted strong international results.
Nike, which has been controlling its inventory in its home market amid an economic slump, said U.S. advanced orders for its goods through November were flat, which one analyst called a "a sign of the times."
"The U.S. market is the most mature so you would expect after a time it's hard to keep growing and growing," McAdams Wright Ragen analyst Sara Hasan said. "Add on top of that the consumer is pretty weak. They've been pretty immune to that."
Besides robust international growth, a 12 percent rise in fourth-quarter profit was helped by a $32 million gain in the quarter from its sale of Nike Bauer Hockey, while its tax rate fell compared with a year earlier due to more profit coming from outside the United States.
Those benefits, when excluded, may have made Nike's actual earnings seem lighter than expected, Thomas Weisel analyst Jim Duffy said.
"Everybody was expecting a solid if not strong quarter. There were probably some that thought earnings would come in even better than where they did," Duffy said. "The level of spending surprised people."
Nike has been spending on its U.S. retail expansion, marketing for the World Cup and Olympics, and in integrating its newly acquired Umbro soccer brand.
"Nike is a growth company," stressed Chief Executive Mark Parker, speaking to analysts on a conference call, while acknowledging that the current U.S. economic environment was "challenging."
"Strong companies who are able to navigate through those tough times can come out even stronger," Parker added.
Nike's net income in the fourth quarter rose to $490.5 million, or 98 cents per share, from $437.9 million, or 86 cents per share, a year earlier. Revenue rose 16 percent to $5.1 billion, above the low double-digit growth Nike had expected.
Analysts on average had expected earnings of 96 cents per share on revenue of $4.95 billion, according to Reuters Estimates.
Nike has been helped in international markets by a weak dollar, even as commodity costs rise. In the United States, where shoppers have curbed spending, the Portland, Oregon-based company says it is gaining market share as it diversifies to appeal to all price points amid tepid growth.
Sales in the quarter rose 4 percent in the United States, with footwear rising 6 percent and apparel only 2 percent.
Nike Brand President Charlie Denson said the U.S. business was dragged down by the sportswear apparel segment. "The rest of the business is in pretty good shape," he said.
The company will focus on more premium merchandise that is better distributed and differentiated, he said.
Long term, Denson said he was still had a "very bullish perspective" on the U.S. market, citing growth opportunities in action sports and sports culture, with clothes that speak to the sports lifestyle, but aren't designed for competing.
The company said profit margins in the United States weren't eroding. "We feel very good about the profitability of the U.S. business," Chief Financial Officer Don Blair said.
Overall, gross margins during the quarter improved to 45.8 percent of sales from 43.8 percent a year earlier, while costs rose to 33.1 percent of revenue from 29 percent.
Looking to fiscal 2009, Blair said the company expects modest improvement in gross margins, with revenue growth in the high single digits on a percentage basis.
European revenue rose 19 percent and Asia-Pacific sales rose 39 percent, where they were helped by changes in currency exchange rates that boosted growth 13 percentage points.
Global orders for delivery of shoes and apparel from now through November rose 11 percent, with flat orders in the United States and a gain of 10 percent and 31 percent, respectively, in Europe and Asia.
Nike shares trade at nearly 17 times projected fiscal 2009 earnings, at a premium to rival Adidas AG , at 11, and casual shoemaker Wolverine World Wide Inc , at nearly 13 times estimated forward-looking earnings.
Nike shares fell to $62.80 in extended trading after closing on the New York Stock Exchange at $65.97.

In addition to the new birds at Shifflett Farms, I have also begun my journey with honeybees. I have wanted bees for a long time and finally have the time (and the money) to get them. My adventure with honeybees got off to an interesting start. The bees were hauled from South Carolina to West Virginia in a horse trailer; during the trip a couple of boxes were damaged and the bees released.
When I went to pick up my two packages of bees, the outside of each box was covered with loose honeybees. A little apprehensive, I was assured that the hour and a half trip home would be fine; and so I made the trip home surrounded by honeybees exploring the interior of my car. After getting the bees home, I did a quick refresher on introducing them to the hive and got to work. I have to admit taking the "lid" off of 12,000 honeybees (a 3-pound package) is a rush that I will not soon forget.
1. Keep calm, and walk away if you have to.
2. Don't expect for ANYTHING to go like it does in the video.
3. Wear your protective clothing, or at least something tight fitting (I wore a T-shirt and managed to squish a bee that found its way into my sleeve, a sting I definitely deserved).
4. You can do it, just remember once you get started there is no turning back (this helped to get me through!).
Since installing the bees, I have worked with the hives many times, mostly out of curiosity; bees require little maintenance, without any stings or issues. I love checking on my bees and seeing what they have been up to. Though I am never quite positive that I know what I am doing, the bees have nature guiding them along and don't really need to much help from me anyway. I have found a local apiary association as well as the West Virginia Department of Agriculture apiary specialist to be very helpful in answering questions and providing reassurance. I can't wait to harvest my first honey!

Physician Tells of Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano
Edoardo Linoli Verified Authenticity of the Phenomenon
ROME, 5 MAY 2005 (ZENIT)
Dr. Edoardo Linoli says he held real cardiac tissue in his hands, when some years ago he analyzed the relics of the Eucharistic miracle of Lanciano, Italy.
The phenomenon dates back to the eighth century. A Basilian monk, who had doubts about the real presence of Christ in the sacred species, was offering Mass, in a church dedicated to St. Legontian in the town of Lanciano.
When he pronounced the words of the consecration, the host was miraculously changed into physical flesh and the wine into physical blood.
Later the blood coagulated and the flesh remained the same. These relics were kept in the cathedral.
Linoli, a professor of anatomy and pathological histology, and of chemistry and clinical microscopy, and former head of the Laboratory of Pathological Anatomy at the Hospital of Arezzo, is the only doctor who has analyzed the relics of the miracle of Lanciano. His findings have stirred interest in the scientific world.
At the initiative of Archbishop Pacifico Perantoni of Lanciano, and of the provincial minister of the Franciscan Conventuals of Abruzzo, and with authorization from Rome, in November 1970 the Franciscans of Lanciano decided to have the relics examined scientifically.
Linoli was entrusted with the study. He was assisted by Dr. Ruggero Bertelli, retired professor of human anatomy at the University of Siena.
Linoli extracted parts of the relics with great care and then analyzed the remains of "miraculous flesh and blood." He presented his findings on March 4, 1971.
His study confirmed that the flesh and blood were of human origin. The flesh was unequivocally cardiac tissue, and the blood was of type AB.
Consulted by ZENIT, Linoli explained that "as regards the flesh, I had in my hand the endocardium. Therefore, there is no doubt at all that it is cardiac tissue."
In regard to the blood, the scientist emphasized that "the blood group is the same as that of the man of the holy Shroud of Turin, and it is particular because it has the characteristics of a man who was born and lived in the Middle East regions."
"The AB blood group of the inhabitants of the area in fact has a percentage that extends from 0.5% to 1%, while in Palestine and the regions of the Middle East it is 14-15%," Linoli said.
Linoli's analysis revealed no traces of preservatives in the elements, meaning that the blood could not have been extracted from a corpse, because it would have been rapidly altered.
Linoli's report was published in "Quaderni Sclavo di Diagnostica Clinica e di Laboratori" in 1971.
In 1973, the Higher Council of the World Health Organization (WHO) appointed a scientific commission to verify the Italian doctor's conclusions. The work was carried out over 15 months with a total of 500 examinations. The conclusions of all the researches confirmed what had been stated and published in Italy.
The extract of the scientific research of WHO's medical commission was published in New York and Geneva in 1976, confirming science's inability to explain the phenomenon.
Today, Linoli participated in a congress on Eucharistic miracles organized by the Science and Faith master's program of Rome's Regina Apostolorum Pontifical University, in cooperation with the St. Clement I Pope and Martyr Institute, on the occasion of the Year of the Eucharist under way.
"Eucharistic miracles are extraordinary phenomena of a different type," Legionary Father Rafael Pascual, director of the congress, told Vatican Radio. "For example, there is the transformation of the species of bread and wine into flesh and blood, the miraculous preservation of consecrated Hosts, and some Hosts that shed blood."
"In Italy, these miracles have occurred in several places," he said, "but we also find them in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain " and some in North America. ZE05050502

Trademark : An Introduction
by admin | Nov 11, 2019 | Category, Trademark | 2 comments
What is trademark?
Trademark is a unique sign, symbol, word, design or expression which is used to distinguish goods and services of one person from those of the other. In other words, a trademark is the identity of a brand. Further, from several judicial pronouncements shape of goods, colour combinations, sounds and smells are also recognized as trademark.
In India, trademarks are governed by The Trademarks Act, 1999 (As modified and amended) & The Trademarks Rules, 2017.
Whether it is necessary to register the trademark?
To enforce trademark right, it is not necessary to register the trademark. An unregistered trademark can also be protected under common law; however, registration of trademark imposes several benefits on the owner of the trademark as follows:
It helps the owner of the trademark to establish his/her prima facie case before court in case of infringement suit.
It entitles the owner of a trademark for the benefits under The Trademarks Act, 1999.
It prevents third parties to register similar/deceptive similar marks before trademark office.
It may be helpful in various IP transactions e.g. assignment, licensing etc.
It provides benefits in case an individual is willing to register his/her trademark outside India.
Law regulating trademark in India
Earlier trademark was governed by Trademark Act, 1940. Further, the trademark was governed by Trademark and Merchandise Act, 1950. After several amendments, presently the trademarks in India is governed by the Trademark Act, 1999 and Trademarks Rule, 2017. The Trademark Act and Rules describe the method of filing, examination, opposition, registration, renewal, rectification and removal of trademark.
A trademark to be registered shall be able to distinguish goods and services of one person from that of the other person. This means for registrability of trademark an essential condition is that it shall be distinctive in nature. The distinctiveness can be "inherent" or "acquired". It is not necessary that a trademark shall be inherently distinctive it shall be capable of being distinguished from those used by the others.
Further, the mark to be registered shall not be descriptive in nature which means that it should not reflect the quality or quantity of the mark. For e.g. "Cold and Creamy" for ice cream.
Nice classification
Nice classification is established by Nice Agreement 1957, which classifies goods and services for the purpose of registering trademarks. After every 5 years the Nice classification is updated. Currently there is 11th edition of Nice classification which comprises of 45 classes (Class 1-34 include goods and Class 35-45 include services).
Role of Trademark Agents / IP Attorney in trademark registration
Trademark Agents and IP Attorney help the client in getting the trademark registered in best and efficient manner. Several benefits for hiring a Trademark Agent and Attorney are as follows:
Trademark Agents assist in Trademark research and let the client know that whether it can be registered or not and suggest the potential conflicts with other trademarks.
Trademark Agents facilitate the complex trademark registration process and gives techno legal suggestion during several stages of registration of trademark.
Trademark Agents help the client in meeting the requirement as provided in the Trademark Act and Rules.
There are several mistakes which can be made by an individual while filling trademark registration form. An agent helps to avoid these registration mistakes.
A trademark Attorney represents the client in the Court of Law in respect of registration of Trademark.
A trademark attorney helps in enforcing the trademark. It also assists the client if he/she gets the cease and desist letter. These letters are notice given to the client so as to stop using the trademark in the event of trademark infringement as claimed by other trademark owners.

The greatest threat we face as a nation: National security expert says the US is in an online WAR with Russia as its cyber criminals join forces with the country's government to spy on America
John Carlin, the Assistant Attorney General for National Security during the Obama administration, said that the US is in a war that's occurring online
Carlin said Russia is the biggest threat to US over China, North Korea and Iran
He claims it's because the Russian government 'protects the crooks' and 'uses them for state purposes'
Carlin was referring to hackers like Evginey Bogachev, who is on FBI's most wanted list for cyber criminals
By Dailymail.com Reporter
National security experts are calling the growing partnership between Russian government spies and Russian cyber criminals one of the greatest threats to America.
In a new episode of CBS' 60 Minutes, John Carlin, the Assistant Attorney General for National Security during the Obama administration, said that the US is in a war that's occurring online.
'We're in a new world,' Carlin said on 60 Minutes. 'And just like the Cold War, it may not be a theater of combat. But day in, day out, we're under attack.'
Carlin, details the revelation in his new book Dawn of the Code War. He said Russia is the biggest threat over China, North Korea and Iran, claiming that Chinese hackers work without our current world order and Russian hackers do not.
'It's not just the state. It's not just the organized criminal problem coming out of Russia. It's the fact that the two work together. The state protects the crooks. The state tasks the crooks and uses them for state purposes,' Carlin said on 60 Minutes.

Carlin was referring to hackers like Evginey Mikhailovich Bogachev, who is on the FBI's most wanted list for cyber criminals.
In 2016, former president Barack Obama announced a new round of sanctions against Russia for the country's alleged meddling in the US election.
At the time, Bogachev and Aleksey Alekseyevich Belan were said to have made millions by selling financial information they obtained in hacks.

Both have been wanted by the FBI for years, but have not been brought to justice because they both live in Russia, which doesn't have a extradition agreement with the US and is usually ambivalent to aiding American law enforcement.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $3million for information leading to Bogachev's arrest.
During an FBI investigation, the agency enlisted the help of, Michael Sandee, an analyst with the Dutch cyber security firm Fox-IT.
Carlin said the problem is that Russia is protecting the crooks and using them for state purposes. He was referring to hackers like Evginey Mikhailovich Bogachev (left and right), who is on the FBI's most wanted list for cyber criminals
According to 60 Minutes, Sandee examined Bogachev's computer server and found evidence that he might be more than just a cyber thief.
It appeared that he was also a Russian intelligence asset.
Sandee told the network that Bogachev's motivation had always been financial, but eventually, he began using search commands that seemed politically motivated.
Bogachev is said to be the hacker behind the malware called GameOver Zeus, which infected more than a million computers and caused the financial loss of more than $100million.
Computer users were tricked into downloading the malware which then stole financial information off the device like bank account numbers, passwords, PIN numbers and other information to steal money from victims.
Bogachev is also believed to be behind a different program called 'ransomware' that would freeze a victim's computer files and threaten to delete them unless a ransom was paid.
US financial institutions, Fortune 500 firms, universities and government agencies are among the victims of Bogachev's schemes, the White House said.
For these attacks, Bogachev faces several charges in federal court including conspiracy, wire, bank and computer fraud and money laundering.

The first block was printed using the seven colors above.
I began to add new colors in my second block and continued to re-use and re-mix the colors used in the first block. My goal with using this color palette was to experiment with the use of warm and cool colors.

The game I circle: David Penna
Wed 4 Dec 2013, 06:00 AM
If there's one club that has every reason to be looking forward to a rematch with one other club in particular in 2014, surely that club would be defeated grand finalists the Sea Eagles out for revenge against 2013 premiers the Roosters.
It wasn't just the big one where the Chooks got the points over their northern beaches rivals either – Sydney pipped Manly in Round 9 and Round 16 in the regular season before winning that tough and low scoring qualifying final 4-nil, and then obviously earning a controversial win in the 2013 decider.
To lose to a single club four times in one season, especially for a club that has been as successful as Manly, is not just a rarity but will also sting for some time to come. It's not a record Manly are likely to forget about in a hurry either.
"Yeah I know, thanks for reminding me!" Manly assistant coach David Penna laughed when NRL.com pointed out the 2013 ledger. "In two of the games it was just the bounce of the ball that won the game so it is just a matter of staying in there," he added, in what may have been a diplomatic reference to some controversial refereeing decisions that went against Manly last season.
"Obviously over the last six or seven years we've built up a fair rivalry against the Melbourne Storm but I guess in the last 12 months, particularly with Roosters and Souths we had some great clashes and I can't see what that would change come 2014."
Despite suggestions from some quarters that Manly fans don't like to travel, Penna said the fans were great in 2013 and hoped to see them out in force, particularly to help the side over the line against the Roosters, in 2014.
"It was great this year, people say our fans don't travel, I guess our fans don't like people telling them what they do and what they don't do. They were great when we played the Roosters at Allianz and hopefully if it's there our fans will turn up in numbers again and the same if we play at Brookvale."
With both grand final sides boasting largely similar rosters in 2014 to the ones that got them that far in 2013, Penna said there's no reason to think both squads won't be successful again next year.
"We're one of the lucky clubs and so are the Roosters that the 1-13 hasn't changed too much from 2013. We're just that little bit older but as we proved to people last year, it doesn't matter how old you are if you're prepared to turn up."
When asked what a win over the Roosters would mean to the side, Penna said it would be far sweeter to get a win later in the year.
"I'd just like to think we can get there and get the one away at the end of the year –that's the one that counts!"


#179: Why to Gather Experiences Over Gathering Stuff [WOYG Podcast] | Dre Baldwin - Creator & Author of "Work On Your Game"
Stuff gets accumulated, used (or not), thrown out and replaced. All of it.
How many smartphones have you owned? How many cars have you driven? Are you wearing the same clothes from 10 years ago?
Stuff has value in the moment, but it will all come and go. And anything that is so easily replaceable isn't so valuable.
Experiences stay with you always. Memories don't collect dust and you don't need to rent a storage unit for them. And no insurance!
Today, learn why experiences – even the bad ones – are worth a lot more than any object you can hold in your hands.
What's an experience you've had that was worth more than any object you own, and why?

Welsh Guard Shot in The Back is Saved by His Body Armour
Lance Sergeant Daniel Collins, from 1st Battalion, Welsh Guards, has survived a bullet in the back during a recent operation in Afghanistan, thanks to the body armour he was wearing.
LSgt Collins, who is serving on operations in southern Helmand, was on a Company level operation to clear insurgents from a village when he was hit by the enemy bullet
The 26-year-old, Fire Support Group (FSG) Section Commander, from Cardigan, West Wales, described the lead up to the incident: "We were coming under sporadic fire from insurgents to our rear, as our Section moved back to the Company RV, at the end of the day's clearance operation.
"I knelt down in an irrigation ditch in partial cover, as the rest of the FSG re-grouped along it, when I was hit in the back by a single shot. It must have been from about 2-300 metres away.
"The round knocked me down in an instant, it felt like being hit by a sledge-hammer at full swing. I slammed into the dirt face down.
"I shouted to the FSG Platoon Sergeant, Grant Lewis, 'I've been shot in the back.' He replied somewhat in disbelief 'yer what?' So I said again, 'seriously Grant, I've been shot in the back.'
Severe pain
"At this point everybody was on their belt buckles in the ditch, the shot had initiated very accurate machine gun, and small arms fire onto our position. We were pinned down."
The insurgent fire was eventually suppressed by B Company mortar fire, and LSgt Collins, who was in severe pain from the impact of the shot, was extracted by his team.
He recalls: "I was in agony, I certainly couldn't walk on my own. But they had to get me out of the ditch. I was pulled out by some of the others lads, and stumbled between two of them to the HLS (helicopter landing site) about 500m away."
High calibre bullet
The Lance Sergeant, who is serving a six month tour of duty in Afghanistan, was air-lifted to Camp Bastion hospital.
He described where the bullet struck: "The bullet hit the very bottom right-hand side of my ceramic body armour back plate, literally right at the edge. Any lower and the doctor said that it would have gone straight through me, hitting my kidneys.
"I think it was a 7.62mm round. That's a high calibre bullet to be hit by, but it shows you that the body armour works. I wouldn't be sitting here now telling you this story, if I wasn't wearing one.
"Thank you to whoever designed the body armour. If I ever meet them, I'd like to buy them a pint.
"I hope to be back with my Section and the lads at the Patrol Base by the end of the month."

diving articles and information at our site.
Handy starter site to research just about eveything, if you are thinking trip to Japan, except diving.
My first link to You Yube video.
You will find comments interesting, even if you already know basic story about the monuments in the article.
Have never related "Hayama" or "Zushi" with diving; the sound makes me think of "marina" and yachting. I guess I missed something.
No, it's not about diving. But you maybe enjoy just the photos like I did:Traditional Japan in Autumn. Travel article around Japan. It's autumn, kind of, here in Florida too.
Includes photos of various schools of fishes, just like the ones I saw there long time ago.
Report by a surfer to trip to Hachijo Island. Practical tips to get, stay and get around the island, along with wave and beach conditions.
Izu Ocean Park is one of most popular diving spots close to Tokyo area.
With maps and a lot of topside photos. If you like to experience "islands" in a short vacation around Tokyo, this is the place to go. Some islands are too crowded, but others are not. Not a dive trip, but a good travel report to some of diving destinations.
Probably because it was re-aired yesterday on the History Channel, I noticed there are many people searching for the information. So added a direct link above.
For last a week or so, added several big and small maps. My maps are made from an old map program and meant to give you a quick reference where the places are located approximately, as well as to myself, as especially relative location of islands are confusing to me after all these years.
Hope to add both maps of Ryukyu Islands and Ogasawara Islands chains soon.
A rock thrusting 325 feet above water from sea floor over 3280 feet deep in the middle of nowhere in Pacific Ocean, between Ogasawara Islands and Hachijo Island. It's hard to reach spot for diving with abundance of fishes and a spot Japanese divers long for.
Scheduled for beginning June, no report if they could make it.
Only one I could find.
To keep Okinawa information page proportionate, created a separate page for Yonaguni monument. Visitors who are interested in can go directly to the page.
Links are in Japanese, but thought it's worth mentioning as many visitors here use key words related to Yonaguni.
When were underwater ruins off Yonaguni created?
They say it was created about 6000 years ago by process of erosion by waves and other natural process. You can see several graphics to show process of erosion by wave.
Thread starting March-11-2003. Comprehensive analysis by " hammerhead". He criticizes claims made by Prof. Masaaki Mimura point by point. Well prepared even though he says he is not a scholar of any kind. Interest points; Graphics of the No. 1 monument widely circulated are scaled horizontal to vertical ratio 2 to 1, which distorts the shape greatly. The entire monument has 10 degree inclination.
Sorry, but the thread is beyond my English for me to translate, but it is very interesting, as I noticed almost no other academic scholars publish study on the monument.
"Most historians and archaeologists maintain that civilization as we know it began about 5,000 years ago with the emergence of the earliest Egyptian dynasty. But, a small yet persuasive number of scientists believes that a highly advanced civilization, nearly twice as old, flourished during the last Ice Age. Solid evidence of this 19, 000-year-old civilization is difficult to produce, but some feel a recent discover off the coast of a tiny Japanese island, Yonaguni, may be the proof they seek."
I see DVD is available too for $24.95 .
A lot of good underwater and scenery photos, well organized, from clickable map of Japan: Most comprehensive for Ryukyu Islands (I counted 11 islands). If you scroll down, you can browse all points of all spots available on the site.
Found This photo Kikai interesting and found some articles and dive service.
It's summer in Florida. It's cool to watch photo gallery, flash movies of ice diving, snow covered sceneries and more.

Published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux/MacMillan Pub.
Alice McDermott is an insightful and brilliant observer of the passing parade, and her prose is simply a delight to encounter. Books like Charming Billy, After This, Someone, or her most recent novel, The Ninth Hour have afforded me some of the most enjoyable, enlightening and wonderful experiences of my reading life.
Alice McDermott has long been revered as a teacher of writing as well, serving for many years on the faculties of theJohns Hopkins Writing Seminars and the Sewanee Writers' Conference. Her latest book is a work of non-fiction, in which she proffers what might be dubbed a Bill of Rights for readers, and a How-To Guide for writers. It is a celebration of great writing, and an investigation into what makes great writing, great.
It's called What About the Baby?: Some Thoughts on the Art of Fiction. Alice McDermott joined us on our digital line from her home in Bethesda, Maryland.

But during the wettest summer on record in the State College area, regular rainfall has not helped with the flooding. And it doesn't look like it will let up soon. AccuWeather and the National Weather Service are calling for on and off thunderstorms from Thursday evening through Saturday.
State College broke a weather record. How much rain made it the wettest summer ever?
The DEP said in an email to the Centre Daily Times that staff members were most recently at Rock Springs on Wednesday, and have been on site at least twice a week since the advisory was issued due to unspecified ongoing issues with the water system.
No estimated time frame was given for when the advisory might be lifted. The DEP said they have talked to Rock Springs about several possible solutions that might help alleviate the problem, but all would require longer-term investment. There is no immediate fix.
Rock Springs, a publicly traded company with about 600 connections, did not respond to a requests for comment.
Customers with questions about the boil water advisory can call Rock Springs at 231-2911, or the DEP's North-central Regional Office at 570-327-3636, and ask for the Safe Drinking Water Program.

Q: onsite and offsite backup question We have an sql database of 165GB (includes filestreaming) and we do an onsite full backup every evening using veritas. We would like to also have an online backup in place just so that we don't need to take backup tapes home. We would like to be able to restore back up to 28 days. It seems that all of the online backup companies will only do sql full backup or differential backups not incremental.
My problem is, if differential backups will look at the last full backup date and only send over changes since then, our on site backup will mess this up.E.g If i do a full online backup on Sunday.  Then we do an onsite backup at 6pm every day, at 9pm on Thursday when we do the online backup, it will only find changes from 6pm on Thu -9pm Thu. I want it to find changes from the last full online backup i.e. sunday up to 9pm on Thursday.
Does anyone have any solutions or recommendations, this must be a common issue.

A: Assuming you are doing native backups to disk, and then Veritas backs up to tape:

*

*Do your onsite backups to disk. Setup blob storage on Azure (or S3 with Amazon) and then script copying that file to that storage. You would then have Veritas backup that file as well from the local disk to tape.

*If you happen to be on SQL Server 2012 or higher you can backup directly to Azure storage. The Azure storage, you can select geo-redundant service and this will allow your backup to be duplicated between Microsoft data centers. You could consider actually dropping doing backups to Veritas with this option, but an extra copy doesn't hurt to have locally.

Response to your comment

We do backup to external disk. We no longer use tapes. I want to do a
  full onsite backup each day so if something went wrong then i could
  restore the full database back quickly. I just also want an offsite
  copy. Is this possible? We are using sql server 2008 R2. Does azure
  support incremental/differential backups with sql 2014 or will it only
  keep one copy which is the latest?

Think of Azure storage as an external disk, it just sits in Microsoft Data Centers. Copying your backups to Azure provides you the ability if your building gets wiped away, bring up another server with Internet access and retrieve the last backup you copied up.
Azure storage (blog storage) allows any file type, the only limit is one single file cannot exceed 1TB in size. If in the future your backups grow to that size, you will just need to split the backup into multiple files to keep it under that limit.
SQL Server 2012 and higher allow backing directly to Azure via BackupToURL. You can utilize Microsoft® SQL Server® Backup to Microsoft Azure®Tool to do similar action across any version of SQL Server. There is a write up done for using this tool here.

Lillard, Blazers on fire; GS next
WEDNESDAY 4CAST: NBA, Pac-12 men, Hawks Reunion, Timbers/Thorns
Another 30+ performance by Damian Lillard, and fabulous team defense carried the Portland Trail Blazers to their eighth-straight win Tuesday night, 111-87, over the New York Knicks at the Moda Center.
Lillard went off for 37 points, a night after scoring 39 in a comeback win over the Lakers, and had Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek talking about post-season honors.
"The guy is playing fantastic," Hornacek told reporters. "He might be one of those guys you've got to start talking about that MVP too with the way he's playing."
Lillard is averaging a career-best 26.8 points per game this season.
"I said after I won Rookie of the Year, I said I think I can be MVP in this league," Lillard said. "Being in the discussion, it's an honor to be mentioned, but I don't look at that and think `Oh they mentioned me in the MVP discussion.' I feel that's the level of player I can be."
Portland improved to 39-26 with a home game against Golden State on tap for Friday.

HPV, cervical cancer link earns scientists Alpert Prize
Immune Disease Institute Wins Annenberg Grant to Support International TB and AIDS Care and Research
Two scientists who discovered that specific types of human papillomavirus, or HPV, cause cancer of the cervix received the 20th annual Warren Alpert Foundation Scientific Prize on Sept. 15. As part of the day's celebration, the prize winners Harald zur Hausen and Lutz Gissmann — both professors at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg — delivered talks at a symposium in Harvard Medical School's New Research Building (NRB).
The foundation recognized the two researchers for work in cloning and characterizing the most prevalent virus types in cervical cancer, HPV 16 and HPV 18. In 1983, Zur Hausen, Gissmann, and their colleagues identified HPV 16 in precursor lesions of genital cancer and, in 1985, revealed the genetic organization of HPV DNA in cervical cancer cells and the active transcription of HPV in these cells. The foundation will divide the $150,000 award between the winners.
"The discoveries of Harald zur Hausen, Lutz Gissmann, and their colleagues in the 1980s provided the first concrete evidence that specific HPV types were linked to cancer of the cervix in women. Their generosity in providing the molecular clones of these newly identified HPVs to others studying the papillomaviruses allowed research in this field to move forward rapidly, leading to an understanding of how HPV causes cancer, to the recognition of the large group of different HPV types associated with cancer, and to the development of the now FDA-approved HPV vaccine," said Peter Howley, chair of the Harvard Medical School (HMS) Department of Pathology and an expert on the molecular biology of HPV infection and subsequent cancer development.
The scientists' work on HPV began in 1972 after Zur Hausen and colleagues failed to find genetic sequences for herpes simplex virus 2 in human cervical cancer and started to analyze the possible role in the disease of genital tract HPV. The research was later bolstered by studies from cytologists providing evidence that an HPV was present in cervical dysplasia, a precursor lesion to cervical cancer and the basis of the Pap smear.
Two years later, in 1974, Lutz Gissmann joined the Zur Hausen group as a Ph.D. student. Together, the scientists helped establish the heterogeneity of the papillomavirus family. Based on the subsequent isolation of papillomavirus types in genital warts and laryngeal papillomatosis, two of Zur Hausen's later students were able to clone and partially characterize HPV 16 and HPV 18. In these two seminal studies, Gissmann played a critical role in directing the molecular biological techniques that were central to the investigations. In 1983, the scientists identified HPV 16 in precursor lesions of genital cancer, and in 1985, they revealed the genetic organization and activity of HPV DNA in cervical cancer cells.
HPV16 and HPV18 are responsible for 70 percent of cervical cancer worldwide. From a global perspective, the disease ranks second in cancer incidence among women, responsible for approximately 270,000 deaths each year around the world. In many parts of Africa, Asia, and South America, it is the most frequent cancer among females. Zur Hausen and Gissmann's findings paved the way for many subsequent groundbreaking studies, notably, the development of Gardasil, which in 2006 became the first preventive vaccine for cervical cancer to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Each year the Warren Alpert Foundation receives 30 to 50 nominations for the Alpert Prize from scientific leaders around the world. Prize recipients are selected by the foundation's scientific advisory board, made up of internationally recognized biomedical scientists and now chaired by Jeffrey Flier, dean of HMS.
Chelsea, Mass., native Warren Alpert first established the prize in 1987 after reading that Kenneth Murray of the University of Edinburgh had developed a successful vaccine for hepatitis B. Alpert decided immediately that he would like to reward such far-reaching breakthroughs, so he called Murray to tell him he had won a prize, and then set about creating the foundation.
To choose subsequent recipients of the prize, Alpert asked Caroline Shields Walker Distinguished Professor of Cell Biology Daniel Tosteson, then dean of HMS, to convene a panel of experts to select and honor renowned scientists from around the world whose research has had a direct impact on the treatment of disease.

Funding of Agricultural and Health R&D Public Goods
This research considers how public good characteristics of different types of research and development (R&D) and the motivations of different providers of R&D funding affect the relative advantages of alternative funding sources. We summarize the public good characteristics of R&D for agriculture in general and for commodity and subsistence crops in particular, as well as R&D for health in general and for neglected diseases in particular, with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Finally, we present rationales for which funders are predicted to fund which R&D types based on these funder and R&D characteristics. We then compile available statistics on funding for agricultural and health R&D from private, public and philanthropic sources, and compare trends in funding from these sources against expectations. We find private agricultural R&D spending focuses on commodity crops (as expected). However contrary to expectations we find public and philanthropic spending also goes largely towards these same crops rather than staples not targeted by private funds. For health R&D private funders similarly concentrate on diseases with higher potential financial returns. However unlike in agricultural R&D, in health R&D we observe some specialization across funders – especially for neglected diseases R&D - consistent with funders' expected relative advantages.

Review of Digital Financial Services Consumer Protection Regulations in Developing Countries
In Sub-Saharan Africa, 12% of adults now report having a mobile money account, representing over a quarter of the share of those who have any kind of financial account at all. As mobile money expands, there is interest in how regulatory frameworks develop to support digital financial services (DFS) and also support broader financial inclusion. In theory, protecting consumers from risk, and ensuring that they have the information and understanding required to make informed decisions, may increase their confidence and trust in mobile money systems, leading to higher adoption and usage rates. However, consumer protection regulations may also carry certain trade-offs in terms of cost, usage, and innovation. The challenge, according to proponents of consumer protection, is to develop regulations that promote access and innovation, yet still offer an acceptable level of consumer protection. We review the literature on consumer protection institutions and regulatory documents for DFS (particularly mobile money) in 22 developing countries, and identify examples of specific consumer protection regulations relevant to mobile money in each country.

Review of Global Public Goods
This brief reviews the various definitions of global public goods (GPGs) and regional public goods (RPGs) found in the literature and provides examples of each in six frequently discussed sectors: environment, health, knowledge, security, governance, and infrastructure. We identify multiple alternative definitions that have gained some traction in the literature, but GPGs are generally agreed to exhibit publicness in consumption, distribution of benefits, and decision-making. Because policy choices determine what is and what is not a GPG, there cannot be a fixed list of such goods; some always have the property of global publicness, while others have over time changed from being local or national to being global in terms of benefits and costs. GPGs are thus redefined as goods that are in the global public domain. GPG and RPG financing mechanisms include payments by users and beneficiaries, taxes, fees, and levies, private funding by non-profit corporations, profit-making firms, and philanthropic individuals and organizations, national and international public resources, and partnerships between several sources of financing. We conclude with an analysis of trends in GPG and RPG financing through Official Development Assistance (ODA) using time series data from the OECD's Creditor Reporting System and other sources. We find that 14% of ODA in 2014 was allocated to sub-sectors labelled by Reiner et al. as GPGs, while 15% of ODA was allocated to RPGs, and that GPG and RPG spending has steadily increased from 2002-2014.
Measuring Aid
This brief provides a summary of background research for future aid-related EPAR projects. We first review prominent measures of aid, examining the definition and scope of Official Development Assistance (ODA) as well as common criticisms and alternatives to this measurement. We also provide a summary of current research on bilateral and multilateral aid allocation trends. The aid allocation literature broadly concludes that donor countries target aid based on both the needs of recipients and on strategic interests, but that aid allocation criteria differ by donor and by type of aid. Finally, we summarize current aid effectiveness literature and key challenges in exploring the impact of aid. A number of challenges in determining the effectiveness of aid were common in the literature, including the micro-macro paradox, difficulties in identifying causal mechanisms and direction of causality, and data limitations.
