Defeating the threat of online dating scammers
Monday 15th December 2014 9:58pm
Thai Dating security advice for Thai women
The internet has emerged as a uplifting resource for most Thai women. Studies in Thailand show women leading the online race for dating, education and social interaction ahead of Thai men. But for some, the story is not quite so positive.
Sunkanya has been dating online for over five years now. Since she started dating online she has been visited by two different men from foreign countries at her home in Thailand's Roi Et province in the north eastern Thailand or Isaan, the region where over 65% of Thai women who marry foreign men originate.
Sukanya's two visitors were elderly. An Austrian and a Belgian man. In both instances her visitor didn't stay more than a few days before moving on to the latest town or back to Bangkok. Sukanya is pretty but she is not as attractive as many of the other Thai women online and she is a little older. However she is persistent and determined to meet a foreign husband.
Thai woman buys into the scam dream
Two years ago Sunkanya thought she had met the man of her dreams online. He was working for an international company based in the middle east, a little overweight but quite handsome. He seemed very warm. 'My heart was happy and I felt joy, I did tell all my family and friends,' she recalls. She was to be disappointed but at the same time very lucky. The dream man online transpired to be a scammer like those who operate from Africa working with gang members in Thailand and Malaysia. However at the time, for Sukanya, a simple Thai woman, the dream seem to go from better to better. Her dream lover from England (working in Saudi Arabia) explained to her that he had sent her a new laptop and a diamond ring. 'I was was so happy and felt the excitement but also I am not a foolish woman so I asked my friends. The told me about the scam story and when the message came about paying money, I know already,' she explains to us. Because Sukanya was warned by her friends she was not taken in by the scam despite initially buying in to the dream. the same involves sending a valuable package and duping customs fees of unsuspecting Thai women.
Online scammers story now familiar in Thailand
It is a story that can be heard all over Thailand where more and more Thai women are taking to the internet to meet foreign partners or perhaps find a foreign husband. Sukanya was lucky that she had a group of people who were aware of her online activities. This is a key piece of advice given by Thailand's No. 1 dating site ThaiLoveLines. 'It is very important that Thai women particularly those who are more vulnerable but really all women should have a test group when dating online. We recommend at least one partner, this could often by a sister, aunt or even mother. Someone the woman can confide in,' say Bill Mc Mahon, Security Manager with ThaiLoveLines.
Online scammers target all international dating sites
This warning comes as the scammers who target international dating sites have switched their tactics in Thailand. More and more, they targeting the Thai women while previously it was the foreign men. 'It's appalling to think that these women who are often from very poor backgrounds are being targeted by these people,' says Bill Mc Mahon. 'It's when people online are opening their hearts to a potential partner that they become vulnerable and this makes this activity sickening and utterly contemptible. The key solution to the threat is awareness among Thai women dating online.'
This is happening. There are now many online groups involving networks of Thai women who are working together online to combat these operators. 'We received at least one tip off a week from Thai women who sometimes are on the lookout for these operators, ' says Mc Mahon.
Hidden danger of online scammers is relationship insecurity
The threats to Thai women are very real from this activity. Thai Police recently arrested a Thai woman assisting scammers based in Malaysia heading for the Malaysian border with nearly 1.8 millions baht ($60,000) which had just been swindled from innocent Thai women online.
But there is a second danger as Bill Mc Mahon explains: 'Many men on ThaiLoveLines and Thai women became very suspicious understandably and often they lose confidence in the process entirely after coming in contact with these entities, I tell all our users, who I speak with, that this activity targets all international dating sites and that at anytime perhaps under 1% of online users may be suspect but unfortunately, it is this 1% that is more active. However the important thing for users to know is that once they are aware and heed our advice, they are perfectly safe and have nothing to lose.'
The irony is that Thai women dating online who become insecure about the online dating process lose the opportunity it presents for a life changing relationship and the exploration of new horizons. This was not the case for Sukunya in Roi Et province.
Thai woman uses judgment when faced with security fear
Two years after her online scam scare, in July 2014 Sukunya was talking online with an older German man from Dusseldorf when he asked her if she would like to take their relationship further. She said yes and he told her that he would visit her in Thailand. Two weeks before his arrival he asked her if she could meet in Bangkok at Suvarnabhumi airport. She was worried. She had heard about another well publicised scam being highlighted by the Royal Thai Police. This is where a foreign scammer will pretend that he has been detained at the airport and call upon his Thai female victim to gain his release from the airport by paying a fee in a hurry.
'My family were suspicious. They did not want me to travel to Bangkok in the first place and many of my cousins told me about the scam. But I did not think it was a problem. I know Henrik was a sincere man so I was there and to welcome him,' she recalls.
Sukanya was right in her judgment. Henrik paid her for her expenses in coming to Bangkok and took her shopping before they returned to her village in Roi Et. One week later they were engaged and Henrik bought her gold and a diamond ring. He is due back for Christmas and they will be married in 2015. 'I think every person must be responsible and decide for themselves but I was not always sure also you know,' she admits.
'When you think about the background of many Thai women like Sukanya from Isaan and also now women in Bangkok. For any Thai woman when she goes online to seek a love partner it is a big decision, very personal. In Thailand it takes some courage to decide to do this. These people who prey on the Thai women and the foreign men also are very bad human beings. I think many people in Thailand welcome the activities of the Royal Thai Police in recent times and they are happy to see them catching these despicable men' says Carla Boonkong in Bangkok. Carla is a journalist who writes regularly about Thai women and their use of the internet to find love around the world. She welcomes Thai women who have formed networks online and on Facebook to combat the menace
Police in Thailand detain Thai woman helping online scammers
The extent and sophistication of online efforts to scam Thai women can be seen from a 2014 news story in Thailand. The Royal Thai Police arrested a Thai woman making a run for the Malaysian border with Thailand with 1.8 million baht in Cash ($60,000) after ripping off other Thai women in conjunction with a gang of Nigerian men based in Kuala Lumpur.
The Thai woman Kessanee Mahayothee, 34, was arrested in the Thai province of Songkhla near the border. A Thai detective police officer involved in the investigation revealed that the Thai woman had 47 different bank accounts set up with which to orchestrate and organise the illegal money obtained from online scams.
The woman confessed to Thai police that the Nigerian men, she worked with, obtained the money from Thai women by posing as western men on Thai dating sites and then scamming them out of cash with false stories.
Western man promised to buy Thai woman a condominium
The arrest of the Thai woman came following prompt police action when a Thai woman, targeted by the scam and who had lost money, very quickly reported the incident to the Thai police. The unfortunate Thai woman had been dating a western man who called himself Jim Thompson. He claimed to be wealthy English man and promised to buy her a luxury condominium in Bangkok. With this in mind he said that he had sent her 5 million baht in cash.
It later seem to emerge that the Thai woman would be required to pay 39,000 baht in cash to Thai customs in order to clear the payment package through customs. The Thai woman received a call from Kessanee Mahayothee posing as a Thai customs official and went ahead with the payment. Then all communications with Mr. Thompson ceased but the Thai woman victim had the presence of mind to quickly contact police.
That same week another Thai woman paid out over 1 million baht to a Nigerian man based in Thailand prompting a senior Thai police officer to warn Thai women about the use of online social media stating bluntly that large numbers of Thai women had fallen victim.
Lessons from story of Thai women falling victims to online scams
As the above story demonstrates, one of the key things to do is to contact the Thai authorities in the event of a problem or even a suspicion of a problem. Police in Thailand have issued many statements about the dangers of online dating and given good guidance to Thai women. It should also be underlined that there should never be financial transactions between online friends. Both parties may go on to relationship of trust but it never acceptable to request money, for any reason or under any circumstances, from an online acquaintance. Under the terms and conditions of dating sites like TLL, such requests alone represent a breach of the site's terms and can result in the suspension of an account. Thirdly, the story highlights the sophisticated nature of the exploits of online criminal gangs.
Thai Dating sites are safe if informed
In spite of all this, TLL's Security Manager, Bill Mc Mahon says Thai women can feel safe about online dating in Thailand even looking for international partners. 'We have seen this sort of activity and act against it all the time. We often deal with queries from Thai women communicating with our users online and we are able to give sensitive guidance bearing in mind our privacy obligations. We will always take whatever steps necessary to protect men or women on our dating site. We have experienced these individuals at various stages. Often they pose as false characters on telephone conversations after we have banned their accounts or profiles and things like that. We have even taken steps to ban online membership payments from Malaysia which seems to be part of the problem as well as the Philippines, Hong Kong and of course Africa.'
Key pointers for Thai women to keep safe online
Thailand's dating website says the key requirement is for Thai women to be aware of the extent of this threat gives the following pointers:
Thai women should learn about foreign countries online. Check cities and towns. Always test the location and position of the person online. This is a tactic often adopted by western men using Thai and international dating sites to combat online scam artists from countries such as Ghana and Nigeria purporting to be women in Thailand.
Better safe than sorry:If any Thai women has a doubt or is placed in a position where she is required to send money to a third party, she should make a call to the nearest authorities or to the dating site. The Royal Thai Police and government organisations in Thailand have put in place information networks in order to respond to Thai women in doubt.
Thai women should always contact the official department telephone number or contact point and not a personal reference given by what may be a scammer's accomplice.
Very simply, always be on the lookout for a potential scam without being rude or impolite. A key statistic from ThaiLoveLines security is that these actors are under 1% of any online sweep of a dating site. So it is important not to become paranoid while maintaining a healthy attitude towards online security.
Always have a contact or chaperone when dating online. Even if you are a Thai woman who lives alone, find a friend or even multiple friends to share stories about your online activities with.
If you are online and have doubts about an account or profile on a Thai dating site, make contact with site security and ask for verification of the account or guidance. Never request money or send money to any other users online. This sort of activity is prohibited under the rules of most leading Thai dating or international sites.
Report any suspicious profile in the interests of other users.
Remember that once you are resolved never to send money to another online user and are aware of the potential danger, you are perfectly safe. The goal of any online relationship and dating activity should be a personal face to face meeting. Genuine relationships and friendships can perhaps be formed online but for a relationship to be truly personal and intimate, the two parties must have met physically and spent time together.
Key characteristics of recent scams against Thai women
Over the last seven years the ThaiLoveLines security team have picked up details and general characteristics of false or negative profiles that Thai women online should be on the look out for including:
A man who is an engineer who is widowed or with an international job who is widowed or divorced. Now there are quite a few genuine men who fit this description but it is a favourite profile employed by the online gangsters.
The scammers often feature a photograph with an adorable young son or daughter. In past exploits, these child has been at the centre of some plight requiring the transfer of funds where the child gets sick in a foreign country and while in transit to meet the Thai women.
These scammers can be very patient and build relationships up over period of weeks or even months.
All scams involved transport or carriage of the individual concerned or goods/presents which meet an obstacle or hurdle which requires financial assistance and imposes an emotional burden on the victim to comply. There is always the promise of either financial or emotional gain.
Thai women and the scourge of online scammers
'Thai women are becoming aware of this issue and it is unfortunate that it will frighten off some from meeting new friends and partners online,' says Carla Boonkong the magazine writer and online contributor on Thai women and international dating.
The problem is so widespread that Thai police around Thailand have issued warnings and set up network responses for Thai women who chose to turn to the authorities for help. For instance, Thai women may be informed by genuine authorities that customs in Thailand have no requirements for cash payments from third parties in certain situations.
'The sad thing about this is that these despicable people are preying on the innocence and goodness of vulnerable Thai women looking for love, it's truly appalling' says M/s Boonkong. 'I would recommend that Thai women tell each other about this menace.'
This support and network activity is already in place with several Facebook pages set up by Thai women adamant on making potentially vulnerable Thai women aware of the issue. One Thai woman who is a founder of such a page is Ranyaporn Wichienchotewat. Her Anti Scam Facebook page identifies Thai women who have lost as much 6 million baht ($200,000).
'A loss like this must emotionally devastating to the victim,' says Carla Boonkong. 'We know for years that scammers target western men but now in Thailand they are also targeting Thai women.'
Boom continues in international Thai dating
Meanwhile the growth of online dating among Thai women continues. 'We stress that our users are safe online provided they are aware of this threat and follow our rules and guidance,' says Pranom Inthakheen, PR Manager for Thailand's leading dating site ThaiLovelines.com.
'Yes, the boom continues and this was fueled in 2013 by a massive growth in tablet usage among Thai women which continued into 2014,' says Bill Mc Mahon, security officer with ThaiLovelInes.com. It is estimated that tablet and mobile users on Thai Dating and Social Networking sites will exceed 50% in 2014 for the first time.
'I think that some social networking sites have already exceeded this figure and it is certainly the way things are looking for the future. With this of course come expanded security concerns as many of the Thai women using dating and social networking sites will be alone.'
Warning regarding Facebook from The womens network
ThaiLovelines maintains an online security team and advanced systems designed to detect and fight against online scammers according to Pranom Inthakhenee. 'But really it is Thai women themselves that can make the situation better by being aware of the threat and reporting this abuse both to the website concerned and also to the Thai authorities who can respond,' she says.
Meanwhile Thai women's networks in Thailand continue to warn Thai women to be careful about their security online. They particularly highlight dangers posed on social network Facebook where it is comparatively easy to create a fake account.
One leading Thai woman involved with a woman's group in northern Thailand complained of a woman being lured into sexual relations with a Nigerian man who she had met online. Charoensri Chaikhat, chairwoman of the Phayao Women's Network said that that the man stole valuables from the unsuspecting Thai woman. 'I've also experienced a similar thing. A man who said he was French wanted to add me as a friend on Facebook, but I rejected him because I don't know him,' Mrs Chaikhat said. Mrs Chaikhat issued a severe warning to Thai women particularly teenagers to exercise caution and discretion on material posted on social network and dating sites.She warned about sensitive information such as contact details, telephone numbers,bank and employment details as well as other sensitive information.
'Actually it's easy to create false profiles on any site but the key security on a dedicated love network and dating site like ThaiLoveLines is that we have a security dedicated to this threat or problem,' says Pranom Inthakhenee, PR Manager with ThaiLoveLines.com. 'On our site Thai women are safer but only as far as they are willing to exercise personal responsibility,' she claims.
Thai women should read dating site security guides
ThaiLoveLines is the largest Thai dating site based in Bangkok. TLL's security officer recommends that Thai women study the site's security guidance and pages carefully if they are interested in meeting foreign partners but want to protect security online.
Online dating and social network is a fantastic resource opening up new lives and new horizons to women all over Thailand. With it comes risks and the dangers posed by despicable and unscrupulous online scammers. But Thai women have awoken to the challenge and can protect themselves by reaching out to friends, networking and reporting abuses to the authorities.
Thai dating site security officers says international dating sites are perfectly safe once users are aware of the threat and heed site security guidance. Reports of scammers targeting Thai women online.


Social networking sites are becoming more popular and more important in terms of branding, positioning, traffic and conversions. So it's important to monitor your social media performance and the influence it has on your company. In this article, I will tell you about the tools which help to measure the influence of social media on your goals.
1. Google Analytics: It's a well known tool which will help you to monitor the performance and the contribution of each social networking site individually and gives you the results in terms of total traffic to your website.
2. Facebook insights: Facebook insights is categorized into two parts: Users and Interaction. The "Users" section gives information about active users, data of your fans demographically and number of new likes of your page. The "Interaction" section will provide more in-depth information about your page. This data will tell you which content on your page is more effective and which attracts more audience. In this way, you can give your audience exactly what they are looking for.
3. Topsy: This Twitter search tool will allow you to search by only filtering the location or the keywords. Topsy provides information about the following: number of retweets, filtering by day, hour, week or month and preview of links in tweets etc. This is really an amazing tool!
4. Tweetstats: It's a free tool to measure your Twitter profile stats. You'll just have to enter your username and will get a chart on the quantity of tweets you send and the number of replies you receive.
5. Goo.gl: It will allow you to shorten your links and will also tell you about the number of people who clicked on your link.
6. Klout: It's a tool used to measure the level of online influence. It's very easy to use – you just have to sign in with any social media account and you'll immediately receive the score for your influence. This rating considers factors like number of followers, number of interactions with your information and content.
As an avid Toggl user I spotted a link to this post in the in app ad box… the above tools are great for SMBs with no or very small budgets.
I've launched the SCRM cloud for SMBs to use enterprise-class technology but for a very reasonable price. Ping me a tweet on @JoakimNilsson if you want to learn more!


Wasatch prep is done. I didn't end up having time to scout the entire route but the 20 miles that I didn't see will just give me something new to help pass the time on race day.
I did my last run that I will do until race day today. A mellow 9 miles on very flat terrain. Just planning to rest up the next couple days.
I feel really good about the condition I've been able to get myself into considering that it was less than two months ago that I felt so wasted from my GDR attempt that I was wondering if I would be able to compete again this entire year. Now though I have not only recovered from that, but I'm pretty sure that I've gotten myself into as good of shape as I've ever been in.
The weather looks great for Saturday. High temps should be in the 70's with nothing but bright sunshine all day and clear, star filled skies at night. A couple days ago a cold front came through with heavy rains and snow above 7,000 feet. That moisture should go a long ways in helping with the dust and sand on the trails.
I have no way of knowing just how my body's going to feel on Saturday but it's certainly a nice feeling to have no doubts about my process of preparing for this race. Perhaps once the race is done I will notice some things that I should have done differently but right now I feel very good about my chances of having a good day on Saturday.
For now I just need to focus on eating, resting, and sleeping well the next couple days. I know I won't get much sleep on Friday night so I really need to sleep a lot these next two nights.
The race starts at 5:00am Saturday. I wish that all these races didn't always start so early. The shuttle bus from Salt Lake City leaves at 4am. That means I need to get up around 3:30! The first 2 hours of the race will be run in the dark. Why do we need to run in the dark in the morning when everyone, no matter how fast, is going to run in the dark that night as well? I don't mean this as a specific criticism of Wasatch, but rather Ultra races in general. It makes sense to start a marathon or other shorter races early to beat the heat of the day, but when a race is going to go beyond 20 hours you aren't going to beat the heat of the day by starting early, you're just going to run a different stretch of the route in the heat of the day. OK, enough about that rant, it's not really important.
For those interested in following the race you can check out the race website. I'm not sure if they will be posting progress as the race is happening, but hopefully they do. At the very least there should be results up once we finish.
Running under "star filled skies" sounds excellent. Have a great run.
Good luck Geoff,I wish you well and will be checking in on your progress. Maybe another Alaska will burst upon the national scene soon!
GOOD LUCK GEOFF! Don't forget you need to be able to stand by next Saturday, so you can drink enough to fall back down. HA HA. Have you been following the METS... we should go to Wednesday nights game.
wednesday night's game sounds like a great idea. i haven't been to shea in at least 3 or 4 years. it'd be nice to go one last time. do you have to work thursday?
GO GEOFF!!... Hope you join the Royal Order of the Crimson Cheetah!!!

Trademark licensing in Canada: control is key
Bereskin & Parr LLP - Canada
Bereskin & Parr LLP
By Mina Chana and Liz Afolabi
The upcoming amendments to the Trademarks Act may bring short-term uncertainty over ownership and licensing issues. One thing that is unlikely to change is the established principle of proving a licensor's control over a mark.
The amendments to the Trademarks Act, implemented by Bill C-31 in June 2014, are expected to come into force in 2019 and will set out major changes to Canadian trademark law – the most significant being the removal of use as a requirement for registration.
As trademark owners and practitioners have been anticipating these amendments for some time, many have questioned their implications and – now that the coming into force date is in sight – have advised on early filing and renewal strategies. However, few have discussed the effect that the amendments could have on trademark licensing.
The removal of the use requirement in particular may bring short-term uncertainty with regard to trademark ownership and licensing. Licensing can affect a variety of situations, including opposition and cancellation proceedings, as well as the assertion of rights in a trademark dispute.
Section 50 of the Trademarks Act
Care must be taken when a trademark is licensed to ensure that it remains distinctive, in order for it to be valid and enforceable. Under the proposed changes, the definition of 'distinctiveness' remains essentially same (ie, a trademark must distinguish, or be adapted so as to distinguish, the goods or services of one trader from those of another).
Section 50 of the Trademarks Act protects the distinctiveness of a licensed trademark, provided that the licensor and licensee comply with the provisions set out therein. Section 50 provides that if the licensor maintains "direct or indirect control" over the character or quality of the licensed goods or services, then use of the mark by the licensee is deemed to be use by the licensor – thereby maintaining the mark's distinctiveness. Further, if public notice is given of both a trademark's licensed use and the identity of its owner, then it is presumed that the use is licensed by the owner and that the character or quality of the goods or services is controlled by the owner.
However, Section 50 does not elaborate on how control should be effected, nor does it specify the form that the licence must take (eg, whether it must be written). Accordingly, the case law must be considered for guidance on these issues.
Licensing case law
Best practice would be to set out the licensing terms in writing. However, the case law indicates that a licence may be written or oral, expressed or implied. The absence of a written licence agreement often results in the difficult task of defining the parties' intentions, in order to determine whether the requisite control by the licensor has been satisfied. A related difficulty is proving which parties entered into the oral agreement and when. Two recent cases illustrate how much evidence of control is required to maintain the validity of a licensed mark.
ASIA MILES versus AIR MILES
The Federal Court reassessed the issue of an unwritten licence agreement between related parties in Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd v Air Miles International Trading BV (2016 FC 1125). In an earlier decision (2014 FC 549), the court held that use of the trademark ASIA MILES by a corporate subsidiary could benefit the parent company in the absence of a written licence agreement, as the licensee's sole purpose was to operate the loyalty programme for which the mark was used. Further evidence of control included an agreement detailing the reporting relationship between the parent and the subsidiary, and marketing materials developed by the corporate parent for the subsidiary's use. On this evidence, the Federal Court was satisfied that indirect or direct control existed.
While the 2014 decision was subsequently vacated by the Federal Court of Appeal and returned to the Federal Court for redetermination (2015 FCA 253), due to the standard of review, in 2016 the Federal Court arrived at essentially the same conclusion. Again, it adopted the broad view that an unwritten licence arrangement can satisfy the requirements of Section 50, finding that use by the licensee can benefit the licensor "so long as the licensor exerts sufficient control directly or indirectly over the character or quality of goods and services". However, it departed from the earlier decision and rejected the ASIA MILES applications on the grounds that the licensee's use of the marks did not constitute trademark use per se with respect to goods. With respect to services, the court concluded that ASIA MILES would be confusingly similar to the AIR MILES mark.
The Air Miles cases illustrate that the courts are willing to find the existence of a valid licensing arrangement in the absence of a written licence agreement, but that even in the case of related companies there must be proper trademark use per se and the requisite level of direct or indirect control by the licensor.
In contrast, 1400446 Alberta Ltd v Fogler Rubinoff LLP (2018 FC 79) demonstrates the substantial weight that may be attributed to a written licence agreement. Here, the Federal Court set aside the registrar of trademarks' decision to expunge a registration for non-use under Section 45 of the Trademarks Act and found, in the face of new evidence, that a valid licence arrangement existed between the parties and that the licensee's use of the mark benefited the licensor. On appeal, the trademark owner filed a copy of the written licence agreement and the court noted that:
while there is no evidence of steps taken by the [licensor] to inspect the wares or services, or otherwise exercise the rights granted to it under the license agreement, the affiant states that 'Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Owner maintains control over the nature and the quality of the goods and services that may be provided by the Licensee in association with the Trademark' (emphasis added).
The affiant's statement was sufficient to establish requisite control and evidence of the steps taken by the licensor was not necessary.
The case illustrates that in the context of Section 45 cancellation proceedings, which aim to be summary in nature, the courts may be willing to find the existence of a valid licensing arrangement in the absence of evidence that actual steps have been taken to ensure the requisite level of control, provided that a written licence agreement has been concluded.
Licensing under the amendments
While Bill C-31 introduces no substantive changes to Section 50, due to the removal of use to secure a registration, entering into a licence agreement post-amendments may present challenges. At present, an unused trademark that is neither registered nor applied for cannot be licensed, as the licensor would have no licensable rights in the mark. However, once the amendments are in force, trademark owners will be able to license unused registered marks. The imminent removal of use has already led to 'troll' activities, as some applicants have filed new applications for all 45 classes of goods and services. This could also fuel troll licensing activities, as the removal of use could enable a party to pressure another to enter into a licence arrangement in Canada for a registered but unused trademark. If the pressured party did not want to enter into an agreement, but was interested in commencing use of the mark, it would not be able to expunge the registration for non-use until three years from the date of registration. While the validity of the registration could be challenged through court proceedings, this could be cost-prohibitive.
As distinctiveness is a requirement of Canadian trademark law, it is essential that licensors take the appropriate steps to exercise control over their trademarks, even if the parties are related. In Canada, the use of a trademark by a subsidiary or related company does not necessarily benefit the parent company simply because of the relationship between the two parties – more is required to validate a licence. While the case law indicates that the courts are willing to provide some leeway, the following practical tips should be considered.
Execute a written licence agreement
While neither Section 50 nor the relevant case law stipulates that a written licence is an absolute requirement, if a written agreement is in place, it becomes easier for the licensor to establish the existence and terms of the licence, and to prove that the mark has not lost distinctiveness through uncontrolled use.
Specify standards and inspection rights
To demonstrate that the licensor maintains direct or indirect control over the character or quality of the goods or services, the licence should set out the standards under which the trademark must be used. Further, it should provide the licensor with the right to inspect the licensee's licensing activities periodically. For example, the licensor could:
provide manuals or training materials to the licensee;
periodically inspect the licensee's premises; or
independently obtain samples of the products or marketing materials for quality review purposes.
Exercise control
Licensors should exercise their control over the character or quality of the goods or services, in addition to having such provisions in the licence. This can be done directly or indirectly through an agent (eg, an affiliated company).
Use proper trademark notices
Licensors should require licensees to adopt a public notice indicating that its use of the trademark is licensed and, if possible, setting out the name of the trademark owner.
By granting a licence, the trademark owner permits third-party use of its mark, which must be done carefully in order to maintain distinctiveness – otherwise, the mark could be successfully challenged. Proving a licensor's control over a mark is key to valid trademark licensing in Canada and is likely to remain so after the amendments to the Trademarks Act come into force.

Georgia Anne Muldrow grew up surrounded by music, but it wasn't until she discovered drum machines and MIDI keyboards that she figured out how to make music that sounded like what she was hearing in her head. During a talk on campus this fall, a part of the Gathering event series sponsored by the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, the genre-defying producer and singer described her journey from undisciplined piano student to studio pioneer.
The daughter of two L.A. music scene veterans (jazz guitarist Ronald Muldrow and vocalist Rickie Byars-Beckwith), Muldrow recalled the parental expectation that she would learn to play an instrument. "Both of my parents were like, 'oh, you need to be in a piano class or you need to go to drum class,'" she said. "The first day, they put me in the intermediate class, and the next day I was gone…I was like, 'Nah, I don't got time for this.'" She remembers not being interested in the music on the page, but instead watching her piano teacher's hands as she played: "I was looking at her hands because the part that appealed to me most was her feel…you can't learn that—you have that."
"Tell you what: get a MIDI controller and you feel like you can play anything."
It took a little while for her parents to accept that Muldrow's approach to music was different, but no less passionate, than their own. But once she found her way into electronic production, they supported her: "When I got in touch with something that could record an idea I had, I was like, 'Oh snap, I'm gonna make a song!' First it was the drum machine…and then the keyboard, and I was like, 'Mom, can I have one?' and to quote the great E-40, my mom 'had my back like a masseuse.'"
From there, Muldrow said she discovered MIDI, and fell in love with the possibilities that computer production opens for creating and shaping any sound she could want to hear. "Tell you what: get a MIDI controller and you feel like you can play anything," she said. "It's a beautiful thing—the computer: it listens—to be listened to, and not to feel invisible anymore."

Into the Studio
The day following her talk at the Gathering, Muldrow was joined in the Shames Family Recording Stage by a band of Jazz and Gender Justice students for a studio demo, during which Berklee music production and engineering students had the chance to observe Muldrow's production process, from raw idea to fresh beat.
The session began with a lengthy live jam that flowed seamlessly out of the band's rehearsal, with Muldrow directing the dub-style groove, playing conga, and singing. Behind the board that day was visiting engineer and Berklee alumna Jaime Sickora B.M. '98, whose discography includes recordings by artists from INXS and Coldplay to Faith Hill and Herbie Hancock. While Sickora worked with student engineers to capture the performance, she noted how Muldrow's enthusiastic positivity affected the whole session's energy: "Georgia puts me in a good mood!"
Once the initial jam was tracked, Muldrow came into the control room and got to work with Sickora and student engineers, shaping the raw tracks into an arrangement by a process of subtraction. She would direct the engineers to mute whole swaths of tracks and pull out specific passages, highlighting particular moments in the performance and refining the sound one instrument at a time. She compared her process to sculpting—you start with a mass of material, and then, "you've just got to start hitting the rock, hacking away big pieces to see what's there."
By the end of the session, Muldrow had brought her computer and sampler—her hammer and chisel—into the control room, and she was adding layers of electronic augmentation and vocal tracks to a ten-second loop she had pulled out of the twenty-minute recording. And what had begun that morning as a loose series of improvisations was now a sharply sculpted and polished musical moment.

home / Auckland Holiday Package
Auckland Holiday Package
Auckland is a city of volcanoes, with the ridges of lava-flow, forming the main thoroughfares and its many cones providing islands of green within the sea of suburbs. As well as being the largest, it is the multicultural city of New Zealand, also called 'Tamaki Makarau' by its native Maoris, ranking high with its quality of life and a sizable Asian community that rubs shoulders with the biggest Polynesian population of any city in the world. Auckland is popularly known as the "City of Sails" because the harbour is often dotted with hundreds of yachts, whereas the green swathe of the Auckland domain contains sports fields, interesting sculptures, formal gardens, wild corners and the Wintergarden, with its fernery, tropical house, cool house, cute cat statue and the neighbouring cafe. Get on board the Auckland Holiday Package!
The tourists would be enchanted with the attractions of The Auckland Art Gallery, housing an important and extensive collection of New Zealand contemporary art, and The Quarried Auckland Civic Theatre, a famous heritage atmospheric theatre in downtown. The Harbour Bridge is an iconic symbol of Auckland, the Auckland Town Hall with its concert hall has some of the finest acoustics in the world hosting both council and entertainment functions, and the Auckland War Memorial Museum, a large multi-exhibition museum in the Auckland Domain, known for its impressive neo-classicist style dominating this magnificient museum, an imposing Greek temple with a modern dome and a comprehensive display of Pacific Island and Maori artefacts on the ground floor, all these contributing to a `must-see' list.

The Howick Historical Village is a `living' museum and its gardens are a faithful reconstruction of the Victoria fashion, including ponds with ducks and geese, and a cafe with home made goodies. One Tree Hill (Maungakiekie), a volcanic cone was the isthmus' key `pa' and the great fortress in the country, and the tourists could explore the craters and surrounding Cornwall Park, with its impressive mature trees and historic cottage. The Auckland Zoo is an excellent modern zoo with spacious, natural compounds and a large selection of native birds and tuataras, with the infrared lighting of the nocturnal house offering a rare chance to see kiwis fossicking about. The Auckland Botanical Gardens would thrill you with themed gardens, threatened plants and plenty of greenery around! Just can't complain on the Auckland Holiday Package!
There are plenty of shopping malls and galleries selling a trove of precious items, designed and crafted by the local people, such as Fingers, a gallery-cum-shop, consisting of individual pieces of jewellery with reference to nature, icons and identity of the city, made of precious metals, shells, fabrics,stone and found objects. Tourists may find some beautiful Maori designs and pounamu or greenstone jewellery at the Royal Jewellery Studio.

Toyota to continue with its existing Fortuner and Innova until 2016
Yusuf Dabhiya June 21, 2013 Toyota No Comments
Toyota has undoubtedly been the leader in the SUV segment in Asian market including India. One of the main reasons behind this success is the continuous development in their line of products specially the Innova and Fortuner. Introduced in 2003, the Innova replaced the Toyota Qualis. The Innova received an upgrade in 2009 and after that in 2011 and these were not just cosmetic changes but also new features adding to the luxury of the SUV were introduced.
The Fortuner was launched in 2005 and was introduced to the Indian market in 2009 and it was an instant hit. The Fortuner also went through a major facelift in 2011. The constant upgrades did give the SUV's a fresh look and it helped in attracting more buyers, but from Toyota's stand point the real reason for the success of its SUV's is the IMV Platform (Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle), which the company had introduced about 10 years back. At present the SUV's based on the IMV platform are sold worldwide and not just that but these products have topped the sales charts for a long time.
Looking at the success and the performance of their products on the IMV platform Toyota has decided to continue with the same platform for the next-three years. It seems that Toyota has finally come to a point where they do not want to bring any change to an almost perfect combination of performance and styling. Although we can expect some cosmetic upgrades and addition of new features to keep up with the pace of market and meet the ever increasing demand of the buyers.

La commune est située à  au sud de Chaumont (préfecture de la Haute-Marne), à  au nord-ouest de Langres et à  de la sortie de l'A5 (sortie  Chaumont-Semoutiers). Le village est une station verte de vacances, il possède le label « village fleuri » avec trois fleurs attribuées par le Conseil national des villes et villages fleuris de France au concours des villes et villages fleuris.

Géographie

Localisation

Le village d'Arc-en-Barrois est localisé dans la vallée de l'Aujon sur le plateau de Langres et le finage limitrophe de la Côte-d'Or. L'Aujon traverse Rochetaillée, Saint-Loup-sur-Aujon, Courcelles-sur-Aujon, Giey-sur-Aujon, Arc-en-Barrois et va en direction de Cour-l'Évêque pour se jeter dans l'Aube. Le long de l'Aujon, sur la rive gauche au bas d'Arc-en-Barrois, s'étend une contrée de terres labourables appelée les Éleux.

La forêt domaniale d'Arc-en-Barrois, partagée avec Chateauvillain, Richebourg et Aubepierre notamment, est une des plus étendues de France (environ ).

La forêt d'Arc-en-Barrois est considérée comme l'une des plus belles chasses au grand gibier de France (sangliers, cerfs et chevreuils).

Toponymie

Histoire

Préhistoire et Antiquité

Une importante levée gauloise puis voie romaine (de Langres à Sens et Orléans) passait à l'emplacement actuel d'Arc-en-Barrois. Une forteresse romaine, ou arx, située sur la hauteur de Lamotte au-dessus d'Arc-en-Barrois servait à protéger la voie en défendant le passage de la rivière franchie grâce à un pont à une arche (arcus en latin). À l'abri de cette forteresse, quelques fermiers groupèrent leurs habitations pour être protégés par la garnison et l'on bâtit à proximité un hospitium (refuge ou abri pour les voyageurs). Au , lors des invasions barbares, le fortin de la « Motte » est détruit.

La région est une marche, entre les royaumes : Francs, Lorrains (ou Alamans) et Bourguignons. Arc-en-Barrois fera partie tout au long de son histoire du duché de Bourgogne.

Le partage de l'empire de Charlemagne par le traité de Verdun (843) fait que le duché de Bourgogne est attribué à Charles le Chauve tandis que le comté de Bourgogne est attribué à Lothaire. Durant le , Arc est fortifié à nouveau (tour dodécagonale et enceinte entourée de douves). La seigneurie de Chateauvillain/Arc dépend de la famille de Bar liée à une famille plus puissante, celle de Broyes. Arc reste une cité bourguignonne alors que Chateauvillain est champenoise. Une première église qui dépend de l'abbaye de Cluny est édifiée en 1080. Le site demeurera fortifié jusqu'au , puis abandonné lors de la construction d'un château au bord de l'Aujon.

Moyen Âge
La seigneurie d'Arc était associée au Moyen Âge à celle de Châteauvillain (issue de la Maison de Broyes ; cf. Simon  de Châteauvillain et Jean  de Châteauvillain, mort en 1313 ; Barrois indique qu'à l'origine Châteauvillain et Arc dépendaient du Pagus Barrensis ou Pays/comté de Bar-sur-Aube, dans le Barrois champenois). En 1326, Jean III de Châteauvillain octroie une charte d'affranchissement aux habitants d'Arc.

Temps modernes
Au , les deux fiefs furent dissociés : Arc-en-Barrois passa alors aux de Vienne, puis échut aux Bauffremont-Scey-Sombernon par le mariage en 1527 de Jeanne de Vienne-Listenois (ou Listenais ; 1500-1541) avec Claude de Bauffremont (1506-1536). Leur fils Antoine de Vienne (1531-vers 1605) devint le premier marquis d'Arc et de Listenois (en 1578 ?). En 1622, les Bauffremont cédèrent le marquisat d'Arc au maréchal Nicolas de L'Hospital de Vitry (ci-dessous).

Le château, occupé par les Bourguignons au  pendant la guerre de Cent Ans, a été remanié au . Il fut finalement détruit à la Révolution.

En 1629, le village connu un début d'épidémie de peste déclenché, dit-on, à l'occasion du passage de voyageurs qui logèrent dans une hôtellerie du village. Au , le village d'Arc-en-Barrois était fortifié et entouré de fossés alimentés par l'Aujon. Les fossés furent comblés sous le comte de Toulouse (ci-dessous) et les murs abattus au commencement de la Révolution.

Le domaine (marquisat) d'Arc-en-Barrois appartenait depuis 1622 au maréchal Nicolas de L'Hospital (1581-1644), duc de Vitry (duché sis à Châteauvillain et Arc-en-Barrois, et reprenant le nom du fief familial de Vitry-en-Brie = Vitry-Coubert à Guignes), aussi comte de Châteauvillain par acquisition en 1620. Les domaines de Châteauvillain et Arc-en-Barrois sont donc réunis. Il fut acheté en 1679 à son fils François-Marie de L'Hospital († 1679) par le comte Jean-André de Morstein, ambassadeur de Pologne en Suède puis en France, père de Michel-Adalbert de Morstein, comte de Châteauvillain († 1695, époux en 1693 de Marie-Thérèse d'Albert de Luynes fille du duc Charles-Honoré). Les Morstein le cédèrent en 1693/1699 à Louis Alexandre de Bourbon (1678-1737), comte de Toulouse et amiral de France, fils naturel de Louis XIV. Son fils Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon (1725-1793), duc de Penthièvre, hérita du domaine. Le village fut alors un marquisat du duché de Châteauvillain (1703) dont les Bourbon-Toulouse-Penthièvre étaient titulaires, comme il l'avait été dans le duché de Vitry des L'Hospital.

Révolution et Empire
Passé les affres de la Révolution, le domaine fut restitué en 1814 à la fille du duc de Penthièvre, Louise Marie Adélaïde de Bourbon, qui avait épousé en 1769 Louis Philippe, duc d'Orléans. La fille de ces derniers, Adélaïde d'Orléans (sœur de Louis-Philippe ), en hérita et reconstruisit le château actuel à l'emplacement de l'ancien. Elle le légua par testament à son filleul le prince de Joinville qui le transmit par héritage à son fils, le duc de Penthièvre.

Depuis 1815
Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, le duc de Penthièvre met le château à la disposition des blessés du front de Verdun.

En 1972, Arc-en-Barrois fusionne avec la commune d'Aubepierre ; la séparation a lieu dix ans plus tard en 1982.

Willow By Julia Hoban
Title: Willow
Author: Julia Hoban
Publisher: Speak
Seven months ago on a rainy March night, Willow's parents drank too much wine at dinner and asked her to drive them home. But they never made it–Willow lost control of the car, and both of her parents were killed.
Now seventeen, Willow is living with her older brother, who can barely speak to her. She has left behind her old home, friends, and school. But Willow has found a way to survive, to numb the new reality of her life: She is secretly cutting herself.
And then she meets Guy, a boy as sensitive and complicated as she is. When Guy discovers Willow's secret, he pulls her out of the solitary world she's created for herself, and into a difficult, intense, and potentially life-changing relationship. (From Goodreads, 12th May 2014).
'Willow' was one of those novels that helped get me out of a reading slump, however, 'Willow' is not the greatest book I have read focusing on self-injury. On the other hand, for a novel aimed at teenagers this deals well with a topic many individuals do not understand whilst also dealing with love, death, loss, stress, friendships and much more 'life stuff'.
Willow is a girl who blames herself for the death of her parents, whilst also feeling like a burden to her older brother and his wife and baby cousin. Both Willow and her brother have not yet come to terms with the sudden death of their parents or the sudden changes in their living arrangements. Willow cuts herself to help escape the true pain she is feeling inside, it is the only way she manages to cope with life. However, soon her life begins to spiral out of her control when Guy, a boy from school who quickly enters her life, finds out that Willow cuts herself. We soon follow this relationship, through ups-and-downs and watch how life begins to change for both individuals who each carry the knowledge of Willows cutting.
As I said above, I have read other novels regarding the topic of self-injury that I preferred, but this may be due to two things. Firstly, I read a lot of books on this topic when I was in my teenage years, and therefore know the formula. Second, I have also read many books about self-injury aimed at adult audiences, and also researched a lot about self-injury, which includes case examples and memoirs. Therefore, having such a knowledge, and having exhausted (at the time) many of the books focusing on self-injury aimed at teenagers during my teenage years I may be slightly harsh compared to other readers. For that I appologise.
I did enjoy 'Willow' as it was fast paced and Julia Hoban successfully incorporated Willows life into the novel with self-injury not being the main focus, which is nice. It reminds you that individuals who self-injure have a life with stresses and why these stresses result in self-injury. We have a teenager who is going through many 'normal' teenage stresses, such as a new school, exams, making friends, whilst also dealing with more extreme difficulties, such as her parents death.
'Willow' is a novel that tactfully addresses many hard hitting issues and some more run of the mill teenage issues without belittling them or over exaggerating them. It is because of this that makes 'Willow' a believable and human novel. It also means I feel able to recommend 'Willow' to individuals who self-injure, friends and family of individuals who self-injure, and also those who are interested in mental health related fiction. This is a novel that as a teenager I would have loved to have found in the school or local library, just simply because it reminds you that you are not alone. Novels that deal with difficult issues specifically aimed at teenagers are so important and valuable, no matter what the topic, just to give someone even a small amount of strength to find the help and advice so many of us need.
However, for me this novel is only a 3.5 out of 5 stars, but I would imagine if I read this novel when I was in my teenage years (and mot my mid twenties) I would have given it 4 to 4.5 stars.

Saving Max By Antoinette van Heugton
Title: Saving Max
Author: Antoinette Van Heugten
First Published: 28th September 2010
Max Parkman – —autistic and whip-smart, emotionally fragile and aggressive— – is perfect in his mother's eyes. Until he's accused of murder.
Attorney Danielle Parkman knows her teenage son Max's behavior has been getting worse—using drugs and lashing out. But she can't accept the diagnosis she receives at a top-notch adolescent psychiatric facility that her son is deeply disturbed. Dangerous.
Until she finds Max, unconscious and bloodied, beside a patient who has been brutally stabbed to death.
Trapped in a world of doubt and fear, barred from contacting Max, Danielle clings to the belief that her son is innocent. But has she, too, lost touch with reality? Is her son really a killer?
With the justice system bearing down on them, Danielle steels herself to discover the truth, no matter what it is. She'll do whatever it takes to find the killer and to save her son from being destroyed by a system that's all too eager to convict him.
I really enjoyed 'Saving Max' much more than I thought I would. This was a book I came about by accident really, hadn't heard anything about, had not read any reviews, and had not seen anyone talking about it. I had never heard of the author, or any of her other books, books that I will now be checking out!
The primary aspect which attracted me to 'Saving Max' was that it was a book about a boy with Autism. I find Autism a fascinating disorder, and mixed with murder, well that is not something you come across so often. If you are worried that this is a book that reflects negatively on people with Autism and associates their behaviour with violence please don't. The author has dealt with this issue in a sensitive yet realistic way. People with Autism can be violent, but more often can be violent to themselves, rather than others and this is captured well.
Max is a teenager who is struggling with life and when his mother finds out he is planning to commit suicide their psychiatrist sends them to a specialist hospital. Here Max's behaviour begins to dramatically change and the son Danielle once knew is gone. When Max is found next to another patient, both covered in blood and Max the only one still alive, we witness the frantic love of a mother attempting to save her son and prove his innocence. But has her son changed so far beyond the boy she once knew?
Once we get to the murder trial we are thrown about in all directions, and completely gripped. The novel becomes so bizarrely dramatic that it is just hard to believe but so fascinating! I absolutely loved it. It just had so many twists and turns and moments where you really don't know what has happened.
If you are wanting a light read, do not read this. If you are wanting a gripping, hard hitting, drama filled, crime novel with a mental health aspect this is perfect!
Antoinette van Heugten is a skilled writer and story teller. An author everyone must add to their collection!

Your Voice in my Head By Emma Forrest
Title: Your Voice in my Head
Author: Emma Forrest
First Published: 1st January 2011
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Emma Forrest, an English journalist, was twenty-two and living in America when she realised that her quirks had gone beyond eccentricity. Lonely, in a dangerous cycle of self-harm and damaging relationships, she found herself in the chair of a slim, balding and effortlessly optimistic psychiatrist – a man whose wisdom and humanity would wrench her from the vibrant and dangerous tide of herself, and who would help her to recover when she tried to end her life. Emma's loving and supportive family circled around her in panic. She was on the brink of drowning. But she was also still working, still exploring, still writing, and she had also fallen deeply in love. One day, when Emma called to make an appointment with her psychiatrist, she found no one there. He had died, shockingly, at the age of fifty-three, leaving behind a young family. Processing the premature death of a man who'd become her anchor after she'd turned up on his doorstep, she was adrift. And when her significant and all-consuming relationship also fell apart, she was forced to cling to the page for survival. A modern-day fairy tale of New York, Your Voice in My Head is a dazzling and devastating memoir, clear-eyed and shot through with wit. In a voice unlike any other, Emma Forrest explores breakdown and mania, but also the beauty of love – and the heartbreak of loss. (From Goodreads, 24th November 2013)
When Emma discovers that her Psychiatrist has passed away she begins to reminisce about the man who had helped her to begin stabilizing her rather turbulent life. We learn about both Emma and her Psychiatrist through Emma's words.
'Your Voice in my Head' is a novel written with a rawness that epitomizes the deep depressions Emma has encountered, along with the risky behavior of her highs.
This is a novel about grief and loss, as well as about finding strength, and using the lessons of those who are dead to help you in your future. It shows us the selflessness of some people, and the selfishness of others. This is a novel about people. The good and the bad. However, unlike many novels about mental illness, in this novel Emma manages to work, and continue with life even when this seems impossible. This was 'nice' because many books out there about mental health, memoirs and fiction, deal with people who do not function, cannot work and often are institutionalized. In this case it was a breath of fresh air to see someone dealing with severe mental illness but still holding life together, however precariously. Considering the majority of people with mental health problems are treated in the community and manage to work, it is a group highly under represented in the book world.
At the time of reading 'Your Voice in my Head' I had just suffered a bereavement and initially gave this book 3 out of 5 stars on my Goodreads account. However, I feel after writing this review that I did not appreciate this books as much as I think I would have if I were to have read it at a different time. I now believe this is a novel I will have to re-read in order to give an accurate rating, but due to the points I raised above I will give 'Your Voice in my Head' a 4 out of 5.

Title: Impulse
Author: Ellen Hopkins
Publisher: Simon Pulse
First Published: 23rd January 2007
Sometimes you don't wake up. But if you happen to, you know things will never be the same.
Three lives, three different paths to the same destination: Aspen Springs, a psychiatric hospital for those who have attempted the ultimate act — suicide.
Vanessa is beautiful and smart, but her secrets keep her answering the call of the blade.
Tony, after suffering a painful childhood, can only find peace through pills.
And Conner, outwardly, has the perfect life. But dig a little deeper and find a boy who is in constant battle with his parents, his life, himself.
In one instant each of these young people decided enough was enough. They grabbed the blade, the bottle, the gun — and tried to end it all. Now they have a second chance, and just maybe, with each other's help, they can find their way to a better life — but only if they're strong and can fight the demons that brought them here in the first place.
I read this book a couple of years ago but I think it is a book worth highlighting and promoting on my blog as it encompasses one of my key interests – mental illness – and is also a book written in verse, only the second book I have ever read that is written in verse.
Ellen Hopkins is a fantastic author and has written many books now in the same style. She tackles the 'hard issues' and does not sugar coat them. I think I was initially put off by the fact the book is written in verse, but don't let this put you off! It is different, though I think you will either 'love it or hate it'. And I loved it, once I started I couldn't put the book down. The short verses meant you quickly moved on and wanted to find out what happens next so you just keep reading and reading.
As you follow the stories of three teenagers you begin to learn why they are in a psychiatric facility and what has happened in their lives to lead them to attempting suicide. The stories are real and some may know people who have been through similar situations and problems. There is no sugar coating, and there is no magic cures.
I had heard a lot about Ellen Hopkins before I read this book and I guess I did enjoy it but maybe not as much as if I hadn't heard so many 'rave reviews'. I enjoyed her style as it was different but because the novel is written in verse sometimes I missed the increased depth and sometimes had to go back and re-read pages to make sure I understood what had happened. The book though looking big was an extremely quick read – one or two sittings if I remember correctly.
I loved the style, I loved the rawness, I loved the characters, but for some reason I feel I can only give it a 3.5 out of 5.
I would recommend the book to many people. But something is holding me back about it. I think finishing it so quickly left me a bit empty or let down, maybe wanting more? I don't know. Maybe because it was a while ago I read this book. I really don't know. I own 'Crank' By Ellen Hopkins and need to read that at some point, maybe in doing so I will see where my issue lies. But I still highly recommend due to the gritty nature of the topic and the way it is handled.

Rage By Jackie Morse Kessler
Title: Rage
Author: Jackie Morse Kessler
Publisher: Harcourt Graphia
UK Publication Date: 4th April 2011
Missy didn't mean to cut so deep. But after the party where she was humiliated in front of practically everyone in school, who could blame her for wanting some comfort? Sure, most people don't find comfort in the touch of a razor blade, but Missy always was . . . different. That's why she was chosen to become one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War. Now Missy wields a new kind of blade—a big, brutal sword that can cut down anyone and anything in her path. But it's with this weapon in her hand that Missy learns something that could help her triumph over her own pain: control. (From Goodreads, 5th February 2013)
As with Hunger we see a teenager who is struggling with her life, to deal with the bullying and segregation she receives at school causing her to self harm. After going to a party and being horrifically humiliated she cuts too deep, but death comes and gives her a choice. Now wielding the sword of War Missy beings to release the anger she has been feeling. We are taken on a journey where Missy learns about herself and learns about destruction and war. This is a lesson in control. The one thing Missy has lost. Can she work through her pain without cutting? Can she learn to control her feeling and control the powers she now wields?
Another excellent novel from Jackie Morse Kessler. I read it almost back to back with Hunger (first novel in the series) and they both have similar themes, but both dealt with in a novel way. This series links the Horsemen of the Apocalypse with mental health issues and some of the pains many teenagers face today. It brings together myth and fantasy with today's issues which I have never seen done before. It is a fresh breath into the world of mental health novels and a twist on some of the often similar novels focused on death and the horsemen of the apocalypse.
A series I recommend to all young adults and those interested in mental health.

Betty Buckley and Rachel York Tend 'Grey Gardens' at the Ahmanson
The award-winning musical Grey Gardens plays the CTG/Ahmanson Theatre July 6-August 14. Directed by Michael Wilson, the production will officially open July 13.
Tony Award winner Betty Buckley, who drew raves for her work last summer in the Bay Street Theater production of Grey Gardens, again steps into the role of Big Edie with Tony nominee and Drama Desk Award winner Rachel York as Little Edie Bouvier Beale.
The actresses are joined by Bryan Batt, Peyton Ella, Sarah Hunt, Simon Jones, Katie Silverman, Davon Williams and Josh Young with Olivia Curry, Rogelio Douglas Jr., Steven Good, Melina Kalomas, Michelle London and Rebecca Spencer.
The musical features music by Scott Frankel, lyrics by Michael Korie and a book by Doug Wright.
Based on the 1975 documentary by Albert and David Maysles, the musical, according to press notes, "tells the story of Big Edie and Little Edie Bouvier Beale, the eccentric aunt and cousin of Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis. Set in 1941 and 1973 at the Bouvier mansion in East Hampton, this bold musical follows a mother and daughter on their hilarious and heartbreaking journey from glamorous aristocrats to notorious recluses in a crumbling house filled with memory and cats."
The scenic design is by Jeff Cowie, costumes are by Ilona Somogyi, lighting is by Howell Binkley, sound is by Jon Weston, projections are by Jason H. Thompson, wig design is by Paul Huntley and casting is by Beth Lipari. Hope Clarke is the choreographer, Kevin Stites is the music director, and the production stage manager is Robert Bennett.
Grey Gardens premiered Off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons in 2006 and subsequently transferred to Broadway, where it ran for 307 performances at the Walter Kerr Theatre. Grey Gardens earned a Tony nomination for Best Musical and garnered Tony Awards for leads Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson, as well as for costume designer William Ivey Long.
Betty Buckley offered acclaimed performances in Broadway's Sunset Boulevard, Carrie, Song & Dance, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, 1776, Triumph of Love and Promises, Promises. She won a Tony Award for her performance as Grizabella in the Broadway production of Cats, and she starred on the London stage in Promises, Promises, Dear World and Sunset Boulevard, earning an Olivier Award nomination for her work in the latter. Her screen credits are numerous.
