Ancra Systems has become a member of the IWLA.
It's our pleasure to announce that Ancra Systems has recently become member of the IWLA.
Since the late 1800s, IWLA has been serving warehouse logistics organizations.
The American Warehousemen's Association, founded late in the 19th century, represented warehouse operators' interests primarily in their work with railroads. AWA was a founding member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
As warehouse logistics matured, so did the association, becoming the American Warehouse Association and then the International Warehouse Logistics Association.
IWLA is a result of the 1997 merger between the then nearly 80-year-old Canadian Association of Warehousing and Distribution Services (CAWDS) with the American Warehouse Association (AWA).

Users may be weakest link in Apple ID, iOS security chain
Shane Cole | Jan 22, 2014
While Apple's robust security practices have made malware a virtual non-factor, iOS device owners should still take care to ensure that they themselves don't become the weak link in the security chain.
A study published this week by internet giant Cisco — Â and tweeted by Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller — paints third-party apps as a leading cause for concern when it comes to security on mobile devices.
"Many users download mobile apps regularly without any thought of security," the report says.
Malware is not Cisco's biggest worry when it comes to mobile apps, though. The honor goes instead to age-old social engineering techniques like phishing, in which malicious individuals try to dupe unsuspecting users into handing over personal information like usernames, passwords, and financial details by pretending to represent legitimate businesses — Â the notorious "Nigerian prince" e-mail scam is one popular example.
"Many users download mobile apps regularly without any thought of security," according to Cisco.
The problem is compounded by the implicit trust users often place in content from the App Store. This week also saw Apple settle with the Federal Trade Commission over in-app purchases, a dispute which boiled down to parents blindly supplying their Apple ID password to their kids without taking the time to understand the implications.
In that case, the parents simply saw a few more charges on their credit cards. The same action in a different context could have much more far-reaching consequences, and this issue has been the subject of a recent kerfuffle in the iOS developer community.
Well-liked social calendaring app Sunrise has come under fire for asking users to enter their Apple ID credentials when adding iCloud calendars, rather than using iOS's built-in calendar access API. Sunrise uses this information for a legitimate purpose — Â services running on their servers facilitate key features that would be difficult or impossible to implement without that access.
Sunrise calendar's iCloud setup pane | Screenshots by Marco Arment
The problem, as articulated by Instapaper creator Marco Arment, is that the Apple ID has become a de facto key to many iPhone and iPad users' lives. Consider what happens when an iOS device is restored from an iCloud backup: iMessages, keychain data, email accounts, calendars, contacts, and data-filled apps are all happily retrieved from the cloud.
Of course, users are notified when a new device is added to an account, but even if they take notice of the message, it may be too little too late. Wired reporter Mat Honan had such an experience in 2012:
"In the space of one hour, my entire digital life was destroyed. First my Google account was taken over, then deleted. Next my Twitter account was compromised, and used as a platform to broadcast racist and homophobic messages. And worst of all, my AppleID account was broken into, and my hackers used it to remotely erase all of the data on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook," Honan wrote.
Surely many people would blanch at the thought of a stranger collecting weeks or months of sensitive iMessage conversations.
The attack on Honan was overt, carried out by hackers whose aim was notoriety, and thus easily noticed. What if it were a more subtle assault, though? Surely many people would blanch at the thought of a stranger collecting weeks or months of sensitive iMessage conversations.
Attackers needn't even go to the trouble of sneaking a phishing app into the App Store. Many services store access credentials on cloud servers, which present an exponentially larger number of attack vectors — Â Sunrise was the victim of an attack on its web infrastructure last November, and was forced to warn users to reset their iCloud passwords.
Fortunately, these potential problems are easily mitigated by the application of common sense. Just as users wouldn't provide their social security number to a stranger on the street, they should carefully evaluate which services have access to their Apple ID. Apple also allows for the use of multiple accounts on a single device — Â one can be used for sensitive information such as iCloud keychain, while another could synchronize less important data like calendars.
Had to laugh, with the exception of Windows OS ... 'Users' have been the weakest link I have ever come across in 35 years in this industry! :D
sflocal
So long as there is a human involved in any part of the security link, it will always be a point of failure. Why is this even news?
welshdog
Apple ID problems are one of the most common drivers of calls to Apple support. Maybe even the number one issue. Apple IDs and the associated details can be confusing to people who are not used to managing computer security. There are so many ways users can screw up their Apple ID and the things it governs that it's a bit of a wonder to me how Apple keeps the system afloat. I was an iOS At Home Advisor for a brief period last year. One of the many reasons I could not handle the job was the never-ending calls from people who had forgotten their Apple ID, or changed it and forgotten it, or tried to use two of them with iTunes and got locked out for 90 days or reset the password and never got the validation email . . . or . . . or - on and on. Maddening. It would be easy to say Apple needs to revamp the whole Apple ID system, but that hardly seems practical or even worth the trouble. Apple knows exactly how confusing and problematic it can be and it's within their umbrella of acceptable costs to just leave it as is.

"Users may be weakest link..." There's no "may be" about it. WE are the weakest link. If parents are giving the password to thier kids for in-app purchases, they have no case.

How Does Trademark Monitoring Help You To Protect Your Business?
by Vidya Menon
As a business owner, you know how important it is to protect your brand. You've put a lot of time and effort into building up your company's reputation, and you don't want anything to damage that. One way to help protect your brand is by monitoring trademark activity.
What is the Purpose of a Trademark?
Why Would a Business Want to Protect its Trademark?
What are the Rights of a Trademark Owner, and How Can They Be Enforced?
What is Trademark Monitoring?
Scope of Trademark Monitoring
Common-Law Trademarks
Trademark Squatting
Federal Trademark Applications
Search Engine Results
A trademark is a sign that distinguishes the goods or services of one enterprise from those of other enterprises. A trademark can be a word, phrase, logo, image, or a combination of these elements.
The purpose of a trademark is to allow consumers to readily identify the source of goods or services and distinguish them from competitors. Trademarks also help build brand loyalty and customer goodwill. For a trademark to serve its purpose, it must be used consistently concerning the same goods or services.
Over time, this consistent use will create an association in the minds of consumers between the trademark and the quality of the goods or services. As a result, trademarks play an essential role in promoting competition and ensuring fair trade.
As any business owner knows, a strong brand is essential to success. A trademark is one of the most important aspects of a brand, and it can be crucial to a company's bottom line.
A trademark is a unique identifier that allows customers to recognize a company's products or services easily. It also helps build customer loyalty and trust, giving a business a competitive edge.
Because of this, businesses need to protect their trademarks. If a company doesn't protect its trademark, it risks losing its valuable intellectual property. Additionally, if another company begins using the same or similar trademark, it could create confusion in the marketplace and damage the original business's reputation.
For example, if two companies are selling similar products under the same or similar names, customers may not be able to tell them apart. This could lead to lost sales for both companies. To avoid these risks, businesses should take steps to protect their trademarks.
As the owner of a trademark, you have the right to use the mark to identify your goods or services and to distinguish them from those of other companies. You can also licence others to use your trademark under certain conditions.
To enforce your rights, you need to be aware of how your trademark is being used and take action if you feel that it is being misused.
You can monitor the use of your trademark by conducting online searches and keeping an eye out for unlicensed uses. If you find someone using your trademark without permission, you can send them a cease and desist letter asking them to stop.
If they continue to use your mark, you may have grounds for filing a lawsuit. In some cases, you may also be able to file a trademark infringement claim with the USPTO.
Trademark monitoring tracks trademarks' use to ensure that they are being used correctly and not infringed upon. This process can be conducted manually or through the use of automated tools. A reputable trademark monitoring solution can help companies protect their investment in their trademark and enforce their rights if infringement occurs.
In addition, monitoring can also help identify potential infringers before they cause damage to the company's reputation or sales. As a result, trademark monitoring is an integral part of managing a company's intellectual property.
There are several different ways to monitor trademarks.
One way is to conduct online searches using keywords related to the mark. This can help identify uses of the mark that the owner does not authorise.
Another way to monitor trademarks is to use trademark monitoring software. This type of software can automate searching for unauthorised uses of a company's marks.
Additionally, many companies hire trademark monitoring services to conduct regular searches and provide reports on any unauthorised uses.
Trademark monitoring can be conducted on several different levels, depending on the resources that a company is willing to invest. For example, a company may only monitor its own use of its marks. This can be done through internal searches and monitoring company websites and social media accounts.
Alternatively, a company may choose to monitor the use of its marks by third parties. This can be done through online searches, trademark monitoring software, or hiring a trademark monitoring service.
Under common law, trademarks are protected by state laws rather than federal laws. As a result, the scope of protection available for a trademark may vary from state to state.
However, common law trademarks are only protected within the state where they are used. If a company uses its trademark in multiple states, it will need to register the mark in each state to receive full protection.
Trademark squatting is registering a trademark similar to an existing trademark to profit from the goodwill that the original owner has established. For example, a squatter may register a domain name identical to an existing website to drive traffic to their website or sell the domain name back to the original owner at a higher price.
The USPTO accepts federal trademark applications for marks used in interstate commerce. A mark must be used in commerce between two or more states to be eligible for federal protection. This can include use on websites, advertising, or products sold in multiple states.
When someone searches for a company's name on a search engine, they will typically see a list of results that includes its website, social media accounts, and any other online content associated with the company. The order in which these results appear is known as the search engine results page (SERP).
SEO is the process of optimising a website so that it appears higher in the SERP. This can be done through several techniques, such as creating high-quality content, building backlinks, and improving the website's design.
Trademark monitoring can help ensure that companies appear in the SERP for their own marks. This can be done by conducting regular searches and looking for instances where other companies use the same or similar marks. If these companies are not authorised to use the mark, they may be infringing on the trademark owner's rights.
Registering your trademark is an essential first step in protecting your business. However, it is only the beginning. Once your trademark is registered, you need to actively monitor its use to ensure that it is not used without your permission. Trademark monitoring can help you to detect infringement early and take action to stop it.
It can also help you identify unlicensed uses of your trademark that might damage your brand. In addition, monitoring can help you keep track of how your trademark is being used and make sure that it is being used in a way that reflects your company's values.
By actively monitoring your trademark, you can help protect your business and preserve the value of your brand.
As you can see, trademark monitoring is an essential tool for protecting your business. If you have a registered trademark, you must monitor its use to prevent infringement and preserve the value of your brand. If you are not currently monitoring your trademark, now is the time to start.

On Oct. 7, the West Linn City Council agreed to update the city seal as the council's contribution to the 2013 centennial celebration.
City staff commenced work on the project and recently presented a design that is now being shared for community comment and feedback.
The designer is a graduate student at Willamette University in the MBA program. He agreed to work with City Councilor Thomas Frank to update the existing seal, adding color to the design and incorporating ideas from the city council and residents alike.
The city originally held an online design contest for the seal with a cash prize of $400, but none of the submissions matched the council's vision. Thus, the Willamette University designer was brought into the fold.
Community feedback may be entered through Jan. 6 at westlinnoregon.gov/citycouncil/share-your-feedback-centennial-seal-update.
The seal will be refined and formally adopted by ordinance at the Jan. 27 city council meeting.
The seal will be carved into wood for the city council dais and made into pins to distribute to the community and at conferences.
At the current time, the cost estimate for this project is $2,000.

Gazprom Neft has brought its second well into production at the Prirazlomnoye field, with output totalling 1,800 tonnes per day. The launch of this facility, as planned, will see production increase more than two-fold in comparison with 2014 production levels at Prirazlomnoye, which stood at 300,000 tonnes. The depth of the new well extends to more than 4,500 metres, with drilling undertaken by Russia's GAZPROM Burenie LLC.
Altogether, the project envisages 36 wells being brought into production, including 19 production wells, 16 re-injection wells, and one absorption well. The first production well at the field was launched on 19 December 2013.
Production at the Prirazlomnaya platform is predicated on the principle of "zero emissions", with the platform equipped with a system to prevent the discharge of any production or drilling waste into the sea: wastes will, instead, be either directly re-injected into the strata, or will be transferred to the shore for recycling. All wells to be drilled at Prirazlomnaya will be located within the platform, the base of which then acts as a buffer between the well and the open sea. In addition to which, all of the wells are specially equipped to prevent the possibility of any uncontrolled emission of oil or gas and can, if necessary, be hermetically sealed within 10 seconds.
The Prirazlomnoye project is the first ever upstream project on the Russian Arctic Shelf, with commercial production commencing in December 2013 and a new type of oil, ARCO, launching on the international market in April 2014. In its first year of commercial production, total output at the Prirazlomnoye field reached 300,000 tonnes.
The Prirazlomnoye oilfield is located in the Pechora Sea, 60 kilometres from the shore. Recoverable reserves are in the order of 70 million tonnes. The licence holder on the project is Gazpromneft-Shelf LLC, a subsidiary of Gazprom Neft.
The ice-resistant "Prirazlomnaya" rig was designed and constructed specifically for development of this field, capable of handling all technological operations — drilling, production, storage, and the preparation and offloading of the finished product.
It is designed for use in the most extreme environmental and climatic conditions, meets the most stringent safety requirements, and can withstand maximum ice loads. The offloading line for the pumping of oil to tankers is equipped with an emergency shut-down system, which is activated instantaneously.

SpaceX successfully launches latest Starlink fleet from Florida
Dec. 2 (UPI) — SpaceX on Thursday launched 48 Starlink spacecraft from Florida as part of its plans to develop a second generation of communications satellites.
The Falcon 9 rocket successfully lifted off from Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at about 6:12 p.m. EST.
"Liftoff!" SpaceX wrote on Twitter.
SpaceX was also able to successfully land the first stage booster for the ninth time, its 89th successful recovery of a Falcon9 first stage booster overall.
The launch was originally set to take place on Wednesday but was delayed, with no immediate reason given.
In addition to the 48 spacecraft, the mission was also carrying two Earth observation satellites for Virginia-based BlackSky.
SpaceX currently has more than 1,700 Starlink satellites in orbit but faces objections from competitors such as Amazon and ViaSat as it has applied to launch 30,000 more "second-generation" Starlink spacecraft in the coming years.

SYNOPSIS: There's that horrible feeling when you realize that you've been duped by a brazen con-artist. It keeps you up at night. You know you've got to fix the situation. You CAN do something.
It's three in the morning
I'm losing sleep
How did I fall for a
no good lying cheat?
There were so many warnings
I should have seen
through his gold plated charm and
lavish thieving schemes
but I strayed, yes I strayed
and was played for the fool
my careless heart made an easy mark
Far from gilded seats of power
Stars still shine, lovers meet
Sweet melodies ease our sadness
the madness is washed to the sea
I'm wide awake
It's time I put right my
sad, sad mistake

Cultures Appropriate. Get over it.
Language, music and art have always been cultural exchanges. That's how we humans roll. We share and cross-fertilize. If you don't recognized how entwined we are, then you best get to reading some history. Lots of it.
We have been sharing artistically for millennia. We mutually appreciate our fellow creatives on this planet. We inspire each other in countless ways — a musical rhythm, a colorful pattern, a delicious recipe, a way of styling hair, folding a scarf, herb knowledge, a good story, a sad melody.
The attempt by some social activists to draw artistic boundaries between us and insist that those borders cannot be crossed is absurd and futile. Censorship and intellectual tyranny stifle mutual respect. Don't fall for the silliness of "cultural appropriation".
I was at the soft opening of Slāv on 26/6/18, a presentation by Ex Machina sponsored by Festival International de Jazz de Montréal (FIJM). Friends who worked on the show had comped us tix. Outside the theater a small group of outraged social activists were protesting. They were outraged that the white singer/writer Beatrice Bonnafassi who is Serbian/Italian and the director Robert Lepage who is French Canadian and gay — created a show with themes of slavery. They claimed that the show was a "rip-off" by white people of their black western hemisphere experience.
They were aggressive, rude, almost hysterical. They formed a gauntlet that we had to push through to get to the theatre entrance. They screamed at us that we were privileged, that we were racists. One pushed a poster into my face literally rubbing my nose on it.
I thought how very silly this ado was. I asked one man yelling at me whether he had seen the show. He hadn't. None of them had seen the show yet. They couldn't have because this was the first public performance. Why are these people in such a lather over a show they hadn't even seen?
"Slāv" is a musical play aka an artful expression of a sorrowful human experience. The work is not a farce or mockery. It is not stereotyping or denigrating others. It is not stealing from others for profit.
The protestors could have been using their energy to fight serious issues like chemical pollution or income disparity or detention centres for asylum seekers or, hey, sex slave trafficking. But, no. They picked the low-hanging fruit of a musical created by a popular artist and director at a world class festival, undoubtedly to nab headlines.
The festival after originally supporting the show, eventually caved to the protesters' political correctness tantrum and cancelled the show.
Shame on you, FIJM for being cowed by these dilettantes. You let nonsense trump freedom of expression.
The cast of "Slāv" was all women and diverse — Bonnafassi and 6 others.
Slāv is a reference to the origin of the word slave. Slavs — those living in the areas now called Eastern Europe — were regularly enslaved throughout the Middle Ages. Bonnafassi, of Serbian heritage, is sensitive to this.
All of us can claim some form of enslavement in our ancestors' past. Most human cultures have enslaved others regardless of skin color.
No single culture or racial group owns suffering. We are all in this together.
Beatrice Bonnafassi drove home the issue of modern-day slavery eloquently in the show. Yes, slavery goes on just like it has for centuries. There are more people enslaved now then at any time in history.
The protestors and commentators in the media kept referring to the profits being made in theatre. They imagine the director, creator and performers all making oodles of dough off of this "appropriation". Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha … oh. my. word. Do they know anything about theater? … Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha …

March for Our Lives – MTL
Gary and I marched in the Montreal "March for Our Lives" this morning in solidarity with the big march in Washington D. C. and all the marches across the U.S., Canada and the world.
A limit on military style assault rifles and better screening and background checks of gun buyers are logical, conservative approaches to protecting citizens. Do I even need to say this?
Cars are dangerous machines. We put laws in place to limit their use. Driving 100 mph in front of a school is not allowed, for example. Seat belts are mandatory for safety.
Military assault rifles are wildly destructive. Limiting their use is reasonable. Screening buyers is reasonable. There is plenty of data confirming that societies that regulate firearms efficiently have much lower incidences of gun deaths. Jeezuz J. Christ.

19 years on the 19th
On March 19, 1999, Gary and I went to the Sonoma County Courthouse and got married by a Justice of the Peace.
We'd been together 8 years already. Neither of us particularly wanted to go through the legal process. But, we went ahead and did it for practical purposes — health insurance being one of the main reasons.
Up at the county office, we found out we needed a witness. We hadn't thought of bringing anyone with us. Luckily a kind, older woman named Nuala, who was waiting for a friend, said she'd "stand" for us.
The ceremony was simple and quick. We promised to be kind to each other. So far so good.
We then drove to the beach, stopped for a beer, went out to dinner back in Petaluma and then went home and watched a movie. Plus ça change …
We threw a party for friends the following day — a reception of sorts. We gave everyone an egg-shaped stone — a symbol of new beginnings on the Spring Equinox.
This is what we looked like on our wedding day.
Ruth's Artwork
Ruth Terry Dillman is a fantastic fabric artist. We are lucky to have this wonderful piece which she created back around 2005.
When Ruth showed me this while it was in progress, I knew I had to have it.
I get joy every time I look at it — stars, unicycling, Shakespeare, exquisite detail. Thank you, Ruth!
Gary was a unicyclist/juggler who also happened to be acting Shakespeare when I first met him…
Gung Hay Fat Choy!
I am lovin' the artwork on Canada Post's 2018 Chinese New Year stamps.

It was Mardi Gras, February 12, 1991. We'd gone on a "date" to Stanroy's Music in Santa Rosa. We then wended our way back to my pad, an old farmhouse in Penngrove, California. The house was on what had once been a chicken ranch during Sonoma County's egg production heydays in the 1920s. The living room had high ceilings, windows that faced the horse pasture in the front, oak trees on the side. The fireplace was smokey because of a poorly functioning insert. The couch was rust colored and modular — a hand me down from my oldest sister.
We had started hanging out after the Winter Solstice, talking, watching movies together, taking drives, more talking. We were falling in love but, having both had been married before, we were taking it slow, very slow.
This night, 27 years ago, after more talking and pots and pots of herbal tea, I saw bands of light reaching out from our hearts pouring into each other. We kissed and …
Of course, I wrote a song about it:
People gathered at Place des Arts in downtown Montreal on this brisk Saturday midday, in solidarity with worldwide demonstrations for the rights of women and equality for all.
I wanted to add my body and pink pussy hat to the event so I hopped on the metro and made the short 25 minute trip. I captured these few shots of the participants.
In Canada, equality between women and men is enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights, unlike the US, which has yet to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. Canada is not perfect — the pay gap is still wide and women are under-represented in politics,for example — but the the government is committed to creating gender equality.
It is hard to believe that in the 21st century, those of us with a vagina are still fighting for basic human rights.
