*1 BURNS PHILP FOOD, INC., BY MERGER AND CHANGE OF NAME FROM SPECIALTY
BRANDS, INC.
MODERN PRODUCTS, INC.
Hearing: April 23, 1992
Opposition No. 77,433 to application Serial No. 73/663,828, filed June 1, 1987
Robert E. Browne and Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz for Burns Philp Food, Inc.
Allan B. Wheeler for Modern Products, Inc.
Before Simms, Seeherman and Hohein
Opinion by Simms
Burns Philp Food, Inc. (opposer), by merger and change of name from Specialty Brands, Inc., has opposed the application of Modern Products, Inc. (applicant), a Wisconsin corporation, to register the mark shown below
for spices. [FN1] In the opposition, opposer asserts that applicant's mark so resembles the mark SPICE ISLANDS, previously used and registered by opposer for spices and seasonings, as to be likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake or to deceive. Among other things, opposer asserts that "consumers have come to associate SPICE [place] marks as associated with opposer." In its answer applicant has admitted that opposer owns the pleaded registrations and that opposer's right to use its registered marks has become incontestable, but has denied other allegations of the opposition.
The record of this case consists of testimony (and exhibits) made of record by both parties, a discovery deposition relied upon by opposer, and applicant's application file. As rebuttal, opposer filed a notice of reliance on five published court and Board cases involving opposer and its mark SPICE ISLANDS. [FN2] The parties have filed briefs and an oral hearing of argument was held.
Opposer took the testimony of Mr. Don Yuen, its product manager, who is responsible for the marketing plans of the SPICE ISLANDS herbs, spices, seasonings and wine vinegar. Opposer sells over 130 products under this mark. He testified that those goods are sold through food brokers and distributors to supermarkets, specialty and gourmet food stores, as well as to some department stores. Annual sales are near $30 million at wholesale (approximately $50 million at retail). Over the last three years, opposer has spent approximately $1 million in advertising and promoting its SPICE ISLANDS goods by such means as television, magazine and newspaper advertisements as well as by direct mail and coupons. Opposer also sells and distributes under the mark such goods as cookbooks, recipe leaflets, spice racks and seasoning charts.
According to the testimony of Mr. Anthony Palermo, applicant's chief executive officer and chairman of the board, applicant began using the mark SPICE GARDEN on March 12, 1987. Applicant primarily sells its goods, displayed in spice racks, in health food stores. Applicant has used print advertising and has displayed its goods at trade shows. According to Mr. Palermo, he is aware of no instances of confusion involving the respective marks of the parties. With respect to use of the term "SPICE" in marks of third parties, Mr. Palermo identified a SPICE KITCHENS brand of spice which he purchased, and he testified that he has seen SPICE MARKET spices for sale. Applicant has also made of record third-party registrations covering these marks as well as the marks THE SPICE HUNTER and design, SPICE CLUB, SPICE DELIGHT, SPICE GRAINS and SPICE RACK. [FN3]
*2 In view of opposer's registrations and testimony, there is no issue of priority. Also, the goods described in opposer's registrations are either identical or closely related to the goods set forth in applicant's application. While applicant's products are currently sold in health food stores, applicant's application does not restrict use of its mark to any specific trade channel. Moreover, applicant is apparently attempting to sell its goods in various channels of trade including supermarket chains.
The testimony and exhibits of record demonstrate to our satisfaction that opposer's mark is very well known for spices, having been extensively sold and advertised over approximately 50 years. However, for the reasons indicated below, we believe that applicant's mark is sufficiently different from opposer's, both considered in their entireties, that, even applied to identical goods, confusion is unlikely.
First, there are obvious differences in the marks in pronunciation and appearance. Applicant's mark appears in a semi-circle and is lined for the color green, which is claimed as a feature of its mark. We also believe that the marks are significantly different in connotation and commercial impression. Applicant's mark, in the application and as actually used on its goods (reproduced below), conveys the meaning of a garden where spices are grown.
This connotation is to be contrasted with that of opposer's mark. Mr. Yuen, opposer's witness, testified, at 94, as follows:
Q306 Over the years has the Spice Islands' mark been advertised to convey any particular type of image?
A Yes.
Q307 What is that?
A The image is an exotic, wordly image. That of going to distant corners of the earth to find the best spices and herbs and seasoning; you can call it a nautical motive [sic] or image that we try to convey.
Applicant has also pointed to a number of exhibits which tend to reinforce this image of South Seas islands. For example, in The Spice Islands Cook Book, p. 10, the following historical information may be found:
It was the Magellan round-the-world expedition of 1519-23 that finally charted a course to the Spice Islands. With a fleet of five small ships, he left Spain in the summer of 1519 and after two years of adventure and hardship dropped anchor in Philippine waters. Here Magellan was killed in an uprising of the natives, but the remnants of his expedition continued south and discovered the cluster of volcanic islands west of New Guinea where Cloves, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Pepper, and other spices grew in profusion. The Magellan expedition continued on its way and finally returned to Spain in 1523 with the news of this discovery so important to the spice trade. (Of the five ships and 265 sailors who started on this long voyage, only one vessel and 18 sailors returned to Spain!)
The islands that the expedition discovered where given by Spain to Portugal to administer under a papal treaty. The Portuguese carried on a profitable trade for two hundred years before the islands were seized by the Dutch, who administered them until the formation of the Indonesian Republic. Today the Spice Islands, known also as the Moluccas, continue to produce an abundance of aromatic, flavorful spices that work their wonders for us as they did for people hundreds of years ago.
*3 See also exhibits 27 and 28. We agree with applicant that the seafaring, South Seas image conveyed by opposer's mark is not suggested by applicant's mark, nor by any of the trade dress which applicant uses. Applicant's mark conveys no association with the Spice Islands or any similar exotic image. It appears to us, therefore, that opposer is reaching when it argues that the respective marks convey the same general idea and stimulate the same mental reaction because
[t]he words "islands" and "garden" have similar connotations in that both convey images of tranquility and foliage. (Opposer's brief, 24)
The green stylized letters in an arc sought to be registered and the leafy vines as used on applicant's labels (not part of the mark sought to be registered) suggest an entry way into a garden, reinforcing the image conveyed by applicant's word mark. This design is different from the ornamental filigree design surrounding opposer's mark. Therefore, while we recognize that the fame of a mark is entitled to substantial weight in our deliberation (see Kenner Parker Toys Inc. v. Rose Art Industries Inc., --- F.2d ----, 22 USPQ2d 1453 (Fed.Cir.1992)), the differences in connotation and in trade dress on the labels are significant countervailing factors.
While opposer has argued in its brief that the products of the parties are both displayed in racks in retail stores, opposer has conceded that there is nothing novel about either the way its goods are displayed in racks in grocery stores or opposer's bottle size. [FN4] We agree with applicant, therefore, that this case is distinguishable from those relied upon by opposer. This case does not present a situation where an applicant seeks registration of the word "SPICE" coupled with a topographical place (SPICE VALLEY or SPICE SEAS) and where trade dress provided evidence of confusingly similar commercial impressions. See Specialty Brands, Inc. v. Coffee Bean Distrubutors, Inc., 748 F.2d 669, 223 USPQ 1281 (Fed.Cir.1984) and Specialty Brands, Inc. v. Spiceseas, Inc., 220 USPQ 73 (TTAB 1983). Nor is it a case where the record includes evidence that the plaintiff has used its mark in association with a symbolic representation of a word in applicant's mark. See Spice Islands, Inc. v. Frank Tea and Spice Company, 505 F.2d 1293, 184 USPQ 35 (CCPA 1974) (SPICE ISLANDS sometimes used in association with a representative of a tree v. SPICE TREE and tree design). Nor is it a case where the word combinations themselves were "strikingly similar" in sound and meaning. See Spice Islands Company v. Spice Land Products, Inc., 262 F.2d 356, 120 USPQ 64 (2d Cir.1959) (SPICE ISLANDS v. SPICE LAND). Opposer's argument that both marks include the word "SPICE" together with a "location descriptor" seems to us to paint with too broad a brush any alleged similarity between the respective marks. [FN5]
*4 Accordingly, even though the parties' goods are relatively inexpensive and would presumably be purchased without much care, and even though opposer's mark is famous in the field of spices, it is our firm belief that applicant's mark, considered in its entirety, is sufficiently different from opposer's in sound, appearance and meaning that confusion is unlikely.
Decision: The opposition is dismissed.
G.D. Hohein
Members, Trademark Trail and Appeal Board
FN1. Application Serial No. 73/663,828, filed June 1, 1987, claiming use since March 12, 1987. The mark has been lined for the color green and the word "SPICE" has been disclaimed.
FN2. Opposer seeks to rely upon those decisions as evidence of its efforts to police its mark. Applicant has moved to exclude or strike the notice of reliance because it is not proper rebuttal and because any evidence concerning the policing (and therefore the strength of opposer's mark) should have been the subject of testimony during opposer's testimony-in-chief. Because applicant's record includes third-party registrations and testimony concerning use of various third-party marks containing the word SPICE, we believe that these cases may be relied upon to show opposer's efforts to police its mark. Of course, they may not be relied upon as proof of any facts established by those records.
FN3. Also of record is a registration of the mark SPICE GARDEN for dried spices. That registration, issued in 1977 to a third party, was cancelled under Section 8 of the Act.
While we agree with opposer that applicant's search report per se is not proper subject matter for a notice of reliance, the third-party registrations which accompany the search report are admissible as copies of official records. See Trademark Rule 2.122(e).
FN4. Applicant's attorney represents, brief, 7, that:
[T]his is the only way to get a store to carry the entire line of spices sold by the spice supplier and ... all spice manufacturers have such racks.
FN5. On this point, applicant argues, brief, 3:
There is no rule which permits a trademark owner to protect an abstract generalized construct, such as the "spice (place)" format. No objective evidence shows that all such marks result in a substantial likelihood of confusion. Such a doctrine would result in extreme anticompetitive and monopolistic practices in cases where no substantial likelihood of confusion exists.


SUGAR LAND--November 26, 2018--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Kiewit Corporation (Omaha, Nebraska) is starting to see many of its highest-valued projects near their finish lines. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm is involved in nearly $64 billion in active projects globally, according to Industrial Info's project database, more than $29 billion of which is under construction. Roughly $50 billion worth of the total is attributed to U.S.-based projects, led by the Oil & Gas Production Industry.
Within this article: Details on some of Kiewit's top-valued projects, including natural gas-fueled facilities and drilling projects in the Gulf of Mexico.

Ventura, Calif. (June, 8, 2015) – In the wake of a devastating oil spill near Santa Barbara on May 19, Patagonia is calling on its customers in California to support an urgent bill currently before the state legislature that would close a loophole in the California Coastal Sanctuary Act and prevent more offshore drilling.
Patagonia made the request in an email sent to approximately 238,500 California residents and in a blog post by Vice President for Environmental Affairs Rick Ridgeway calling for residents to contact their elected officials and made their voices heard.
SB 788 would eliminate this loophole by repealing PRC 6244 – ensuring that the Coastal Sanctuary Act and Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) are able to provide their intended protections for our coastal resources and prevent additional offshore oil extraction.
Patagonia also urged customers to consider supporting the local non-profit groups working day and night on the oil spill response by coordinating with government agencies on cleanup activities, holding Plains All-American accountable for this tragedy, and starting to plan restoration efforts for marine wildlife, critical habitat and coastal recreation areas.
For years, Patagonia has supported these local grassroots groups financially and through volunteer programs. More information about these groups and how people can get involved is available on Patagonia's blog.

Council waiting months to decide on full-time city manager
Toby Wells was already serving as both city engineer and Public Works director before he gained a new responsibility on March 14. He is now acting city manager and could be in that top administrative role for some time.
Wells said the City Council is not rushing out on a search to find a permanent full-time city manager. The plan is to review Wells' performance in June and talk about long-term plans.
The options in June could include asking Wells to serve another three months or embark on an executive search with a head-hunting agency.
"They had a long meeting on Friday (March 14) and didn't want to rush to a conclusion, they wanted a little more time to make sure that they make an educated and informed decision before they move to the next level," said Wells. "It's pretty clear they want to get to a point where they have a full-time city manager."
Mayor Chris Vierra said the council needs to find a way to fund a full-time city manager position.
"That's the captain of the ship, that's the leader of the organization and we can seemingly be willing to fund overtime but why would we be hesitant to fund the city manager position?" asked Vierra. He said the economic slowdown was such that a full-time manager was needed the past three and a half years but that things have changed.
"As the economy is starting to get better," said Vierra, "there's really going to be a lot more required of that position."
Wells' engineering and public works duties are being shared by others and the financial ship is being steered for the most part by Finance Director Sheila Cumberland. However, she has announced her plans to retire later this year.
The council decided to make a switch from the leadership of Police Chief/Director of Public Safety Art deWerk after his filling for three and half years of the city manager void after the departure of Brad Kilger. DeWerk had suggested earlier this month that he was open to being replaced if the council felt that it was time to make a change. DeWerk asked the council to revisit the city's situation to ask "if this is an arrangement that you wish to have continue? That's a fair question and if the council determines that it's time to move to a new arrangement ... then I'm in total support of that."
Wells said that deWerk did a "fantastic job in weathering the storm and helping us to survive."
DeWerk now has full time time to devote to running the Police Department. DeWerk called the loss of Deputy Chief Mike Borges a huge loss in his agency.

This painting is from a photo I took in the summer of 1964 when I was working aboard a Norwegian freighter, and is a work in progress. This is the top of 2 paintings that will be placed into the wood window as the frame. The wood window needs to be sanded more to take out some of the burn spots from when I removed the paint. The wood window frame came from my house as a result of replacing it with a new window. The painting is a view I had from my work station aboard the ship looking towards the back of the ship. The paint is acrylic. The "canvas" is MDO plywood, and measures 15"x18".
I like it. I remember the photo and recognized this right off. You do nice work. Wish I had the ability to do some sort of art work. My daughter has this ability and neither one of us does. All I can do is play the drums or take pictures like on my blog. Glad warmer weather is coming so I can get out and take the pictures, I am not an all weather guy anymore.
This promises to be an interesting piece, Fred. It's off to an excellent start.

Like all eight teams that faced the Mount Douglas football squad this season, the St. Thomas More Knights couldn't stop the Rams.
The Rams won the quarterfinal playoff match over the Knights 56-24 at Westhills Stadium on Friday. It puts Mount Doug into the semifinals against the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers at UBC on Saturday with a 5 p.m. kickoff.
The Knights' 24 points was the most scored on the Rams this season. Of course, giving up 24 points is a non-issue when you routinely crack 50 points.
Still, the Panthers will be a challenge, but are the underdog against the Rams, who are in a hunt for their third straight AAA B.C. championship, said Rams coach Mark Townsend.
In particular, the Rams will need to contain the Panthers star running back Jamel Lyles, who has 21 of the team's 27 rushing touchdowns.
"Lyles is a special player who has shown he can dominate the game. He runs the football with great speed and power, has excellent hands catching the ball too," Townsend said.
Perhaps Lyles does dominate the game, or perhaps it becomes a game of anything you can do, I can do better, when it comes to Rams star Marcus Davis. Against the Knights, Davis rushed for 217 yards and four touchdowns, one which was 65 yards, and caught a 65-yard TD pass. Seye Farinu rushed for 145 yards and two TD's of his own.
"The Panthers are an attacking type defence and we will continue to work on our (offence's) blitz pick-up this week," Townsend said.
The Panthers beat Van College 34-29 to get to the semis. The other semifinal features a heavyweight showdown between the Terry Fox Ravens and W.J. Mouat Hawks.
The junior varsity Rams face the Terry Fox Ravens on Thursday in the quarterfinal (third) round of the junior high school football playoffs.
After going 4-0 in the Island division regular season the Jr. Rams beat the W.J. Mouat Hawks 70-24 in the first round of the playoffs two weeks ago and shut out the Notre Dame Jugglers 28-0 last week.
Thursday's match, to be played in Richmond, is a match of two undefeated clubs. Terry Fox also ran the table going 5-0 in the Mainland's central division.
Kickoff is at 2 p.m. at Richmond's Hugh Boyd Secondary, a neutral location.


So I finally relented, and tried Starbucks Via today. Over the last 5 years my pallet has adapted to love only Espresso based coffee, but that was not an available option at an event I attended today.
Out of curiosity I tried Via instead of the brewed Coffee option, and was stunned to find it so drinkable. So much so that I was tempted enough to have a refill - an unexpected positive experience. Yet it wasn't really so unexpected, because they keep telling me it tastes better than brewed coffee...but that just was not believable until now.
For sceptics of Via like myself they could have done much more to get me to try it, to provoke me out of my apathy/rejection.
But how ? As I follow Starbucks on Twitter, they could have sent me a DM or @ message, and I wouldn't have minded that, because I'm enough of a fan to follow them. If they had incentivized me I probably would have driven to a store flashed my Iphone app and tried a free sample, but they didn't.
Ultimately they had my permission to change my mind because I had already reached out to them through my Twitter follow and my Iphone app, but in the end they got me by accident.
I struggle with the fact that by only delivering a 'good enough' (according to me) product they managed to change my perception and make me an advocate. I also struggle with how Starbucks is re-framing its coffee Equity. Do they stand for great tasting coffee or good enough coffee ? Do they stand for a great experience or more frequent good enough experiences ? I think you know which one to choose here ...right ?

Wedding shower is a pre-wedding event and most commonly practiced among the people of all over the world. People like to celebrate this event and give a relax time to the bride so that she can fully enjoy her wedding day celebrations.
As wedding is an event of happiness so people try to make it more charming and memorable. They make all possible arrangements to make this event splendid. They start their planning before a long time before the marriage date. It is a fact that flowers are significant for all types of functions especially for wedding events. Flowers leave an attractive impression on the minds of guests.
Flowers present a fresh look to the guests and family members as well. People may appoint florists for the wedding flower decoration and they have a number of great ideas of their own choice but people should have some ideas about flower arrangements to check the work of florists. Some people wish to arrange all the flower decoration of their wedding ceremony by themselves; these tips will help them to decorate their wedding floral.
Flower are arranged on the stage where wedding couple sits at the front of guests and guests go one by one to the couple and present them different gifts after congratulating them. The flower decoration of this stage is more important as people are looking on the stage in whole ceremony. Flower arrangement on stage can be set according to the theme of wedding and fresh colors enhance the beauty of stage. Flower can be set on the front table of the couple and back wall.
Entrance Flower arrangement means flower decoration at the place from where people get enters in the wedding hall. It is an important decoration as it is a first impression of wedding party on the guests. Here people can also use the silk flowers as well as fresh flowers. Ribbon of different colors along with flowers can also be used for the decoration of entrance.
Flower petals are also spread on the path from couple goes to the stage. It is very easy to arrange and look very attractive. Usually in this arrangement people simply spread the rose petals on the path it is a simple but charming style of flower arrangement.
To set the flowers in the different corners of wedding place give an impressive look. In corners flowers are arranged on the walls or can also be set in different types of flower pots. Silk flowers are also used for the corner decoration.
If there are some stairs in the place of wedding then people should be carful about the flower arrangement on the stairs as it gives a splendid look to the guests. People can decorate the walls of stairs with different colors of flowers as well as railings. If wedding ceremony is going to take place in any park or ground then people can make a boundary with flowers.
Roar of surf crashing into rocks, waves coming high and low, sea breeze blowing, view gigantic, the ball of fire about to be engulfed by the water beneath, perfect time and place to be wedded for sure, with spells of romance cast all around.
But one wants more and more, the above mentioned make a wedding dreamlike, but what will make it completely out of the world?
Are they messages in a bottle style invitation or beautiful sand castle table centerpieces, tabletop bamboo torches or miniature nautical lanterns? Yes some of them, to add the toppings in the already die-for idea of one's wedding. As little details are that, which fill in the colors, or drop a picture out of them.
Dressing is the foremost part of a theme wedding. Usually people opt dressing in white on beach dressing, make something different this time. Dress the bridegroom and bride in sea green attires with pink jewels added to bride. Dress the bridesmaids into mermaids, and rest of the people in white and pink: white for gents, pink for ladies.
Have sea castles as centre pieces; make reception out of sunflowers or bamboo leaves. A better idea could be fishing hooks and net. Statues of mermaids and under water species, standing on the reception will be an addition.
Theme-weddings on beach can be a good idea, because one can use sea for his advantage. Beach related fantasy stories can be used for good. For example, who can forget a chocolate-coffee wedding cake made out in a little castle form, with bride and bridegroom dressed in Cinderella and her prince? And to top it off you find in the background a framed castle, in which after fitting the sandal in, one can see bride and bridegroom walking into.
"I Dream of Jennie" beach wedding theme can outclass all, if used properly. Decorate with attractive, colorful bottles in the sand like the one she was found in; a bride dressed in Jennie, and bridegroom as Aladdin (a bit modernized for sure). And at the end of the day, bride and bridegroom can certainly disappear in a cloud of smoke!
A lot more can be done, with little variations of cake, background, dresses etc. Sea shells can be used in different creative ways too. Hope your wedding day turns out a free of tension one.

SANTA BARBARA — The UC Irvine men's volleyball team, ranked No. 1 in the nation, captured the UCSB Invitational with a 25-17, 25-17, 24-26, 22-25,15-13 victory over No. 6 UCLA at Robertson Gym Saturday.
It is the fourth time UCI has won the tournament (2003, 2007, 2012) as the Anteaters improve to 3-0 on the year. UCLA goes to 2-1.
Junior middle blocker Collin Mehring was named the tournament MVP, while junior outside hitter Connor Hughes was selected to the all-tournament team.
Sophomore opposite Zack La Cavera led UCI against the Bruins with a career-high 17 kills and four aces. Junior outside hitter Jeremy Dejno added 13 kills without committing an error (.481) and recorded two aces and seven digs. Hughes and middle blocker Scott Kevorken each recorded 10 kills with Kevorken totaling a match-best five block assists. Setter Chris Austin had 35 set assists and seven digs, while libero Michael Brinkley recorded a team-high 16 digs.
Robert Page paced UCLA with 17 kills followed by Scott Vegas with 15 kills. Evan Mottram totaled a match-high 20 digs for the Bruins, coached by former UCI head man John Speraw.
UCLA setter Connor Bannan, a Corona del Mar High product, had 53 assists.
In the first set UCI used a Bruin service error and a block by Scott Kevorken and Connor Hughes to take a 17-12 lead. Hughes would have the set winner 25-17.
In the second set UCI opened a 6-0 lead on three UCLA miscues and a kill by Kevorken that was followed by a kill and ace by Jeremy Dejno. UCI never looked back taking the set 25-17.
In a closely contested third set, the lead was never more than two and the teams were tied 18 times. At 24-24, UCLA had a kill and a UCI attack error to win the set 26-24.
The Bruins went on a 3-0 run to take an 11-8 advantage in the fourth set and that is all they needed as they never relinquished the lead and won 25-22.
UCLA held an 11-9 advantage in the fifth set before Dejno put away back-to-back kills to knot the game at 11-11. The teams traded points until 13-13 when a triple block by Hughes, Kevorken and Kyle Russell set up match point. Hughes ended the match with a kill.
The Anteaters, the defending national champions, will return home to face No. 4 Pepperdine Tuesday and No. 9 USC Friday. Both matches begin at 7 p.m. in the Bren Events Center.

Fair Trade Almond Oil
Moisturising and conditioning
Almond oil is used for its conditioning effect on the skin and hair. It is moisturising and packed with vitamin E, giving the skin a gorgeous glow. When applied to hair, it adds shine and softens the entire hair shaft.
The almond tree is native to southwestern Asia and belongs to the Rosaceae family. Almond trees thrive in sunny conditions such as the Mediterranean, California and the Middle East. With an average height of 3-4 meters (10-15 feet), they are strikingly beautiful when in bloom, with fragrant five-petaled blossoms that range from white to light pink in colour.
There are two types of almond: sweet and bitter. Sweet almonds (Prunus dulcis) are used to make almond oil, while almond essential oil is distilled from bitter almonds. The almond oil in our products is obtained by cold-pressing the kernels which yields a much higher quality of oil.
Fair Trade almond oil comes from Palestine. The project is helping Palestinian farmers to work and live with dignity in a territory where water supplies are very limited.

Ethical Buying
Enabling Palestinian farmers to earn a sustainable livelihood and the communities caught in conflict to connect with the outside world.
Nestled in the very tip of the northern West Bank near the city of Jenin is the village of Al Taybeh. 'Taybeh' means delicious in Arabic and the village is known as 'the almonds village'. Here, 15 cooperative members of the Palestine Fair Trade Association (PFTA), cultivate an area almost entirely dedicated to growing olives and almonds. They are able to produce around 10 tonnes of almonds a year.
The village, lying in the shadow of the Israeli separation wall, is just one of the many village cooperatives and smallholders supplying olives and almonds to Canaan Fair Trade, which processes them into oils and exports around the world.
Established in 2009 with Fair Trade olive oil, Canaan works closely with the Palestine Fair Trade Association and buys from 1,700 of its members. The group's aim is to improve the economic situation of farmers in the West Bank through Fair Trade with international markets, as a peaceful resistance to the Israeli occupation.
The almonds are harvested in the villages in the late summer through to September, when the hard shells are collected by the villagers and dried in the sun for two to three days before being cracked or stored. To produce the oil, the cracked nuts are cold pressed, so the quality of the oil is not damaged. The almonds are able to yield around 50 per cent oil, but nothing is wasted; the pressed 'cake' is used to make sweets.
The almonds grown in their fields are rain-fed. Haj Abu Ismail, a member of the cooperative and an elder in the village of Al Taybeh, explains: "We do not water our almond trees for the simple reason that it changes the flavour of the nut… when you taste them you can tell the difference between these almonds and the commercial ones."
Canaan's wants to create one community - workers, farmers, processors, traders, exporters, importers, distributors, and consumers - connected by the fair exchange of goods. To achieve this, the firm is re-establishing traditional sustainable farming as a way for Palestinian farmers to earn a livelihood, believing that fair trade allows these communities caught in conflict the opportunity to connect with the outside world. It also supports them through education programmes, grants, and tree donation initiatives.
Sourcing from farmers in both Palestine and Israel ultimately funds farming communities which are committed to sustainable practices, economic empowerment and an end to occupation and conflict. With extra virgin olive oil supplied by Sindyanna, a female-run Israeli fair trade organisation, the ingredients in your products can support a unique cooperation of Jewish and Arab-Palestinian citizens and Palestinian farmers in Israel and the West Bank. Giving these farmers an income beyond their borders, allows them to redevelop their traditional livelihoods, and gives customers access to superior produce grown with care and passion.
Sourcing from farmers in both Palestine and Israel ultimately funds farming communities which are committed to sustainable practices, economic empowerment and an end to occupation and conflict.


A powerful new drama with incredible heart and humor. Tino is a Newark schoolboy sent to live with an abusive aunt after his mother dies protecting him in a street fight. Seeking solace, Tino befriends the cantankerous lunch lady at school who has been diagnosed with MS. The moving, heartwarming climax shows these two unlikely friends helping each other navigate a harsh world.
"...Wardell Julius Clark's Redtwist Theatre production paints a pretty clear road map of its own plotting early on, but that doesn't make the journey any less gratifying or the climactic destinations any less emotionally punchy. Notably absent from Hutchinson's frank an sobering story: cynicism."
"...The snapshot-montage structure of the play ( currently making its Rolling World premiere under the auspices of the National New Play Network ) renders it particularly well-suited to tiny performance spaces like that of Redtwist. Under the direction of Wardell Julius Clark, an intensely focused cast led by Renee Lockett and Donovan Session resist the temptation to coast on sitcom-cutesy caricature, instead delving their dialogue for grace notes lending warmth and intimacy to personalities too often ignored by adults of superficial values like us."
"...It�s a singular experience to sit through what is essentially a feel-good play, and to reach the end with the sense that you�ve actually seen a genuine drama. Such is the rare form and substance of Chisa Hutchinson�s �Surely Goodness and Mercy,� offered by a splendid cast in the ideal intimacy of Redtwist Theatre."
"... One of my favorite �storefront� theaters is Redtwist, a PURE storefront on Bryn Mawr Avenue in the Edgewater neighborhood. This intimate space allows the audience to become the perverbial �fly on the wall� almost feeling as if they can reach out and touch the actors. In fact, we could. Today, while witnessing a �rolling World Premiere� of �Surely Goodness and Mercy�, by Chisa Hutchinson, there were times I had to uncross my legs so that the actors could get off the �stage� ( if you have ever been to Redtwist, you know there is no actual stage). They keep you on your toes for sure."
"...This is an imperfect production. Director Wardell Julius Clark guides this cast into some beautiful and grounded performances, yet also made a few choices that struck me as odd, purely from a logistical standpoint: the transitions are slow, the physical world-building is often unclear and generally affects the pacing, tension and clarity of the piece. But if you want heart, look no further. There is no denying its utter loveliness. It deserves an audience."
"...The live actors maintain such a cohesive illusion it's easy to forget that we are watching two adults play people much younger than themselves. (Although this reviewer would have bought fourteen more easily than twelve). Renee Lockett's Bernadette is crotchety but a rock for her friends. It's nothing short of heartbreaking to watch her setting her alarm earlier and earlier as she struggles against the ravages of MS. Session and Williams as Tino and Deja are an adorable couple. Their banter is amusing and they inspire each other to be braver and more focused and personable as they mature. RiChard also exceeds in a difficult role. Alneesa is a detestable, bitter person, though Tino becomes uncomfortably aware that, to people who don't know Bernadette, the short-tempered lunch lady comes across that way, too. The first half of Surely Goodness and Mercy has a slower pace than the second, and that's so it can take its time establishing these characters. But once that's done, we're well-invested and can join them on their journey."

Die Diözese von Zypern und dem Golf (engl. Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf) ist eine von drei Diözesen der anglikanischen Episkopalkirche von Jerusalem und dem Nahen Osten. Sie umfasst zwei geographisch getrennte Regionen: die Insel Zypern und die Staaten der Arabischen Halbinsel (mit den meisten Gemeinden am Persischen Golf). Bischofssitz ist die St Paul's Cathedral in Nikosia; daneben gibt es die Ko-Kathedrale St Christopher in Bahrain. Die Gottesdienstsprache ist meist Englisch.

Eine Besonderheit ist, dass nahezu sämtliche Gläubige Ausländer sind: Britische Auswanderer in Zypern und Expatriates bzw. Arbeitsmigranten aus Süd- und Südostasien sowie Afrika in den Golfstaaten. Lediglich in Bagdad existiert eine kleine einheimische Gemeinde, deren Zukunft aber unsicher ist.

Die Diözese wurde 1976 geschaffen. Bis dahin war der Großteil der arabischen Halbinsel dem Bischof in Lahore unterstellt.

Es besteht eine Zusammenarbeit mit den Diözesen Exeter in England und Thika in Kenia.

You make decisions every day that affect you and those around you. From spending money to taking care of your health, these sorts of choices are often taken for granted.
But there may come a time when you are not able to decide things for yourself. None of us knows what the future holds; for some, it may be the loss of mental capacity and the difficulties that result from that.
Our team of Wills, Trusts and Probate lawyers helps customers put in place protections for the future. One of these is a Lasting Power of Attorney - a binding legal document, overseen by the Court of Protection. It allows you to appoint someone you trust to look after your affairs if, and only if, you become unable to do so. This person will be your "attorney" and he or she will be able to make important decisions about your property and affairs or your personal welfare.
Customers tell us that making these documents while you are fit and well puts their mind at rest, and for their family, it makes life much easier should incapacity ever arise. While we always hope that there will never need be a need to call on a Lasting Power of Attorney, having it in place eases everyone's fears for the future.
Our lawyers are sensitive to personal circumstances. They will advise you on the sorts of people you should consider appointing as your attorney or attorneys. They'll also help you set out the best guidance so that the right decisions can be made about your property and possessions, finances and health.
Making a Lasting Power of Attorney gives you peace of mind when planning for the future, but if a friend or family member has already lost the capacity to deal with their own affairs and welfare, a Lasting Power of Attorney cannot be made.
There are a number of options which will help you to manage their day-to-day lives and prepare for their future. We'll support you in applications to the Court of Protection which has the power to grant Deputyships allowing you to make decisions for someone who lacks capacity. Deputies can also apply to the Court of Protection to make a Statutory Will on behalf of the friend or family member who lacks capacity to make their own.
We'll also guide you on most effective options for your circumstances and provide advice for you if you are currently acting as a Deputy or Attorney.


Make sure that your attic is properly ventilated – Not many people realize it, but heat from the attic can actually cause your roof to break down faster, which can cause leaks to form much more easily. If your attic is ventilated, but it still seems to be hot or humid up there, you should check out your intake vents to ensure that they aren't clogged.
Clean out your gutters and downspouts – Gutter cleaning is often overlooked, but it is a very important task for preventing issues with your roof. Water needs to be able to effectively flow off of your roof, and if your downspouts or gutters are clogged, water will get stuck on your roof, which can lead to leaks and mold growth.
Thoroughly inspect anything that pops up out of the roof – Penetrations, like chimneys, skylights, plumbing vents or even satellites, are the most common sources for leaks, so make sure that you inspect them thoroughly to watch out for signs of damage.
