Transcript: Transactional Digital Services Program: Second reference community webinar
This is the transcript for the video: Transactional Digital Services Program: Second reference community webinar
Josh Burns, IP Australia
Hi guys, thanks for coming to our second webinar for TDS reference group. My name's Josh Burns, I'm the engagement manager for the TDS program. Our other presenter today, most of you guys may know him. It's Kieran MacGillicuddy who's Senior Project Manager for the TDS program. So I'm just going to run through a bit of a brief introduction. I'll cover a few housekeeping bits of information about today's webinar, how long we'll go for, et cetera. And I'll also cover our first event.
So our first activation event in the TDS reference group for those who weren't able to attend or watch the recorded webinar. Basically, in terms of housekeeping, we're using GoToWebinar for today's session, so it's probably best to leave any questions you have during the presentation or the webinar until the end. We've got a question point at the conclusion of the presentation. There's a couple of ways that you can ask questions, so we'll go through that at that point. You can either type a question or it's called Raise Your Hand and use that functionality. But we'll get to that at the end point. We can also take questions offline following the webinar.
It's probably important to know that today we're probably going to go for about thirty or so minutes, but it depends on how the demos run that Kieran will take us through, and any questions that we have at the end, but we're weary that it's lunchtime, you guys are busy. We don't want to keep you too long. Please let us know if you can, if you can't hear us, if you can't see our shared screens, and we'll try to get that sorted on the fly. The only other little bit of housekeeping information that I'd like to share is that we're recording today's webinar, so it will be available after the session today for any of your colleagues that want to watch the webinar and go through the slide pack. So we'll send an email at the conclusion of this event to everyone who's registered with the details but we'll also probably publish it to our website as well. And we'll include the first sessions just in case people need to catch up.
All right, so today's session, as most of you will be aware, we had our activation event in Sydney and Melbourne in February. These kick off events were well attended by the professional sector and also well attended by the software development community. The event covered a high level introduction to the TDS program and the drivers of the business case that we've got. We also summarised our program delivery roadmap with key delivery time frames, the program objectives at a high level, our commitment to establishing strong and regular communicational collaboration throughout the program, and some, I guess a few demonstrations of the technology platform that we're using, and we're keen to do that again today. In terms of where we're at currently for TDS, we've deployed patents, trademarks, and designs renewal APIs to production currently.
So we've got them available in our test environments, we've got mocking surfaces via the anypoint platform that Kieran will sort of demonstrate a little bit today. But if you guys are interested in testing or having a look at the specifications, please reach out. We're happy to register you if you're not already registered. But there's plenty of information on our website, and we'll share a URL later in this slide pack with that detail. Today's session Kieran will demonstrate our trademark and design renewal APIs that have been recently deployed to production. He's also going to demonstrate our soon-to-be-released smart trademark search API.
This is an API that's sort of come about as a result of a fair bit of feedback from our stakeholders about the fact that extracting data from RP Australia is a high value point to our customers. We're keen to get some value out via APIs. It's not all about transactional facing APIs. We're looking at providing data where we can as well. That's something that's imminent for delivery, but Kieran will show you a bit of a demo of that functionality.
Kieran MacGillicuddy, IP Australia
Thanks, Josh. Just before we jump into the roadmap, sorry, into the demonstration, we'll actually jump forward and just do the roadmap. Talk about where up to so far, what's coming next, and hopefully that'll serve and give people a bit of context. We've got up on the screen now our delivery roadmap, so the people that were at Sydney and Melbourne would have seen a version of this. So what you see there is for this current financial year, we're obviously into Q4 now, so you see in the top line there the patents line that we've got amendments and assignments showing there. As of next week we're starting work in examination requests, so effectively requests there around amendment status, and we also must tackle the first round of national phase entry. So that's what we're working on there, so we will be talking to customers about what the priorities are, what the issues are, all of those pieces.
And we're also currently working in trademark new applications. So as Josh said just before we've completed the renewal for patents, which is the Q2 line, renewal for trademarks and designs, which is the Q3 column there, so we'll be starting a new application, so we'll be very keen for people's feedback about the current new application process for trademarks, areas for improvement, areas you like, and even within that process, even the different kinds of trademarks and new applications, which are most important. Whether we need to look at images, word marks, the different variations there, what's the best one for us to focus on. And then, as you say, moving into the next financial year, we'll continue in the patent space. We'll continue on other versions of some amendments and assignments, and we'll also start picking up new applications. Within the trademark space, we'll then start looking at all of the amendment and assignment activities that relate to trademarks. Both of those lines will continue through for the rest of next financial year. Hopefully to complete by the end of fin year.
So you see that obviously there are more transaction types than what we've got on the slide there. So we will, based on your feedback, based on the data that we see coming through our systems, will choose the additional transaction types that we will be working on, and the order in which we work. So that's definitely an area that we're interested in your feedback and your input. So certainly, at the end of this meeting take some time to shout out what are the things that are most important to you or least important, and now you'll see that designs and plant breeder rights sit into the following financial year with the exception of design renewals. So as some of you may know, our original plan left design renewals into financial year 2020, 2021, and based on the feedback that we had per our engagement, people told us that design renewals was important to do as part of a whole package of renewal, so we brought that forward. So, similarly, if there are other transactions sit out into the right in the designs or plant breeder rights, that are very important to you, let us know, and we can look at where we prioritize those. I might just pause there for a second and ask if anyone has any questions on the road map. Maybe Sarah if you want to step through the process for that.
Yeah, so Paul, I see you've just raised your hand. I should be able to unmute you in just a moment so you can ask your question for the group.
Sorry Paul, we're just working on the buttons here. There you go Paul, you should be able to speak now.
Paul and Barney, Xenith IP
Hi guys, it's actually Paul and Barney here from Xenith, and Barney has a question.
Hi guys. Just on this road map, Josh, you mentioned at the start you're talking about data services that you'll be able to show us as well. On this road map, where do we see the ability to potentially get, say, the next action or the next renewal date on a property? Is that on this calendar somehow?
I might just jump in there, Barney. You've picked up probably the biggest question, or the biggest thing that's not on there which is generally informational sort of APIs. So one of the things that's certainly came out really strongly in particularly the Melbourne workshop was the interest of people in accessing informational services. The one that we talked about quite a lot in Melbourne was around trademarks, and we've actually started work on that, so pending some sign off internally around basically the privacy act, we are hoping to be out into a testing phase with yourselves sometime in the next couple of weeks for trademark search. So that's the ability to search for a trademark and view the trademark details with the full range of details identically as though you were going through the Australian trademark search website, but through an API. That was one of the key bits of the event that we took out of Melbourne.
Barney, Xenith IP
That's excellent. What about for patents?
We haven't got anything scheduled yet for patents and we haven't finished looking at that space. Our focus there was to improve the concept, the trademarks and then move on from that. The most likely one that we would pick up after trademarks is actually designs. Some of you might be aware, I think last week, one of the teams in Australia demonstrated the newest trade in design search, there's the YIPTA conference, so the technology that's built on is the same technology as the Australian trademark search so it would be quite quick and quite easy for us to add an API onto that. The underlying technology behind the AusPat search is quite a bit different. It will need a bit more analysis before we can make any firm commitments around when we do that.
It's definitely something that's in scope though, Barney. We've heard the feedback and it's something that we want to provide across the properties so we'll provide some more information around AusPat and that API in the future but for now, doing some testing to trademark, we're calling it smart trademark API, search API, and then looking at designs in the near future after that. It's a start for us. Like I said, we've heard the feedback and we came to commit to achieving some of those things that weren't initially in our scope of work but we can see the value for customers in verifications process.
Thanks, Josh. One place there and at, there's a bit of a tech mix-up on our side. We were hoping to demonstrate the trademark search option today but because we haven't actually pushed that into a public UIT that you can see, we actually can't get it from the laptop that we're running the presentation from. We do apologize for that. If you use the powers of your imagination, there's two API functions, one which is a search and one which is a retrieval of the details. You enter the search term through one of them and it returns a list of IDs that match that search term and then through the second API, you provide an ID and it returns the complete set of details from Australian trademark search and that does also include some minor details that I have published through the website so I know one of the key issues that people have raised since the Australian trademark search went live was around the status field and the information there.
We will actually be exposing in more detail the status as part of the API that's drawn directly from our backend systems. Sorry, I'm just looking at one of the questions that's just been launched by Paul. The question was, does the smart trademark API allow searching using a device-A file? Not in the first release. The first release will really be be around a quick search equivalent to what's on the website. It'll be a later release where we pick up advance search functionality. I see Paul's just brought in another question which is, the two key things required by a search are one, next action/date and two, status. So, per the retrieval of an API route, you will be able to see all of the dates that you would see through Australian trademark search so the different dates, grant dates, examination, et cetera. We aren't exposing the little UI element that sits on the left-hand side of that timeline. We are exposing all of the dates so that you can build your own or you can action those. The status field is a sense definitely exposed.
It's probably also worth capturing, guys, that in terms of next action, even in our renewal API set for patents, trademarks and designs, we've got to get API service that you can essentially extract the next renewal date from that get all the posts that we send a response to. Once you've done that renewal transaction, we'll actually give you a response with the enforced day or the pay-to day, that actual which should help you at your end kick off that next event if that makes sense.
We've got a couple other questions that've come through. One from Michael, will the owner details be available? The answer to that is yes. The details that are through Australian trademark search, so the name of the owner and the physical address of the owner will be available. Likewise, the agent or the address for the service. I think there's another question from Paul. And ideal search text fields? Yep, agree. Again, we'll keep building that search functionality app. There's a question from Ben. What protections are implemented over applicant privacy? There are known issues with data mining for scams, analysis of services, is it proposed to restrict access to address information? Really good question, and that's the key privacy consideration that we've been looking at internally.
The answer there is that it will be fully accessible through the API. However, the access to that API will be controlled and limited to organizations who agree to the terms of service for the API. It will be at the discretion of IP-Australia whether we suspend or revoke that access for abuse. So, we are very conscious that we are exposing peoples' potentially home addresses and that that is sensitive information. But we do also want to ensure that we meet our other requirements under the trademark act around inspection of the register. There's another question in from Paul. Paul's question, could we use the renewal get action for applications not initially renewed by the API? The answer to that, Paul, is yes. The renewal API allows you to renew any patent, design or trademark held with the office.
That's in a status that allows for renewal. Regardless of how that was originally filed, or how that's been renewed in the past.
All right, so we might push forward. Are you ready for that demo, Kieran?
Yep, give me one second. Sorry about that, guys. Sorry, I'm not sure about that. We might actually just through the next slide while I finish getting this set up. We can always read out Paul's comment there which was awesome, thanks guys.
So we might jump to the next slide which is with me so, what we wanted to do, guys, in committing to collaborating with you and engaging with you regularly is obviously, this reference group forum is important in terms of doing that but we want to measure how we're going, how we're tracking with our engagement with you. What we wanted to do is I guess, do a quick poll on the screen. This is an interactive poll with some very brief questions about how we're engaging with you currently, how often you'd like these reference groups to be held, whether you prefer it to occur remotely like today's session and hopefully, we'll refine our ability in these webinars. It's our first go, so, or it's our second go, sorry, so we're a little bit rusty with some of the internal connections here.
Whether or not you guys see benefit in splitting the reference group in terms of two forums, so having a technical forum and a business-focused forum. We'll just display the first poll on screen and if you can just answer those questions, I'll give you a minute just to have a bit of a think and then we'll hit the next poll. Thank you very much. We'll just go ahead to the next one. These polls, guys, we'll take offline and we'll consider and we'll talk to you about what the feedback is like and it'll certainly help us refine our engagement process and help us review our strategy generally for the program. The frequency question here is fairly important to us.
We're trying to align our frequency of reference group sessions with our development sprints. At the moment, we're running three weekly sprints which is a bit of first here for in terms of agile methodology so that's something that we're continuing to refine but if you guys would like more, more frequent reference group sessions, we're happy to change that up. Thank you for that one. The second-to-last one we've got up here is around high you'd like to hear from us primarily, so, emails, for example, that's the subscription list, that you guys subscribe to currently and got the invite from. Today's webinar technology we can continue to use. Obviously face-to-face is very important and we've certainly got budget to make side visits where applicable and obviously we've also got the corporate website which we do share information on our APIs and our digital transformation journey at a high level. Last poll. This was about whether you guys feel the need to split this forum into a technically-focused group and a business-focused group. Just give you another 20 seconds there and we'll move onto our demonstrations. You ready for the demo?
Give us a second and we'll switch over into the demonstration. Sorry, guys, technical difficulties again. We're just trying to work out if we can on the screen here. Sorry, guys. We're just stepping through here. We're working on two different laptops. It seems that we give myself remote control of the keyboard but not actually switch over to my screen. Bear with us for a couple of seconds more. We're just going to pop you on mute. Thanks. Okay, you should now be seeing my screen and hearing my voice. If there are any issues, please use the raise your hand functionality and we'll go through, I think we've got a couple comments there that we're, that are coming from Simon. We'll tackle those after the demo but anyone else has questions, please, flip them through as they occur to you and then we'll work through them afterwards. On my screen, you should be seeing the API portal. If we have everybody's screen up, you should see IP Australia and the IP right management B2B API. For those of you that were in Sydney or Melbourne, this'll be quite familiar to you. As you go into that API you can then, it'll load up and have a range of endpoints down the side and I'll just step into one that I've prepared earlier. As we look across on the left here, you'll see the endpoints and then as we go down through patents, we can open that up to the renewal option for patents and we've demoed that a few times, so we'll actually step through and you'll see that there's now a trademarks option where our mouse is over now and below that, designs. Jumping into the trademark option here, you'll see us here. We have the mocking service and the IP right identifier.
I've already prefilled the auth details. For those of you who are testing these or who want access to them, just get into contact with Josh over email. He'll set you up with credentials. As we then send through a transaction, you'll see in this case that you're receiving very similar information for a trademark as you would for a patent so we provide back the identifier, trademark application number, the renew-to date and the fee payable including both the breakdown of that fee so that will again line up with the information that'll come through on your bank statement effectively. Similar to the others, if you were sending in a malformed bit of content, then you'd get the error message but I will jump down into the designs piece. Again, in a similar way it's prefilled our details there. I can enter whatever number I like because we're using the mocking service. You see above that it's updating. That number is the URL. We've got our headers in there, so content type, now body message. I'll submit that and receive back the response. Again, the identifier, the fee paid, a slightly different sequence for this one and then we have the application and the renew-to date. Across the parade, the intent is that they operate in a very similar way. To reduce the effort for any regards in integrating across more than one transaction type and we'll keep using that same kind of process across all of the other transactions as we move through them.
I do apologise that we can't demonstrate the search API. It is a fair bit more interesting that these ones which, if you've seen us demonstrate renewing one patent, you've seen us demonstrate renewing a trademark or any other patent. So, we will look to just take some screenshots of that and circulate that along with the recording of the webinar afterwards but apologies again from us. Just before we move on to the end, are there any questions before I hand back to the slide deck?
We had a question from Ben. Sorry, Ben, we missed this question. You asked whether intends to replace access to both data products with the information provided over the garter APIs.
Yeah, so the answer to that one Ben is that the bulk data products for now remain unchanged. This is about an additional way to access that data. We see it as part of the organization's strategy of moving towards APIs. We're not decommissioning bulk data or even talking about that at this stage. We're acting on the feedback from organisations like yourselves. It would be great to have that data by API down the track depending on uptake and customer feedback and our overall strategy.
We might look at the bulk data but there's no part of that at the moment and I might just, we'll jump down. I think Ben has just replied. Cool. Ben's reply was just thanking us for that answer and talk about the data. Absolutely agree. So definitely do reach out to Josh, Chris and the rest of the team. And now, we've got a string of questions, I think, that came through so we'll just skip through some of these, make sure that we haven't missed any, so just a couple of comments from Simon and, excellent. A comment from Simon that says no need to read all of Simon's. Way ahead of you. Give us five seconds and we'll just switch back across to the slide deck.
So back with Josh, guys. We've just got this slide deck before we hit some more additional questions if you guys were eager to ask anything further. In terms of next actions and wrap up for our reference group, as Kieran said at delivery roadmap overview, our technical team, our product team are working on a number of different transactional APIs, most notably I guess, national phase entry in the patent space. Also examination request in the patent space and building towards new trademark applications and going forward. These are fairly significant transaction types that we're looking to develop. What I'd like to reiterate is that if you guys are keen to be involved, we can set up workshops individually with your firms about the journeys and about the particular that you've got within those transactions now and where you see some value in the future that we could potentially deliver in a TDS program for you going forward.
If you are keen to be involved, please reach out. Onscreen now we've just got, there's an email address there, MDB-TDS@ipaustralia.gov.au. That's our main inbox for any inquiries. If you're keen to be involved, please reach out. We can tell you up with some credentials to access the platform that we're using for APIs and you can start doing some testing. Start looking at the mocking services and getting a look and feel for what it is we're actually delivering. We've also got detailed information, as I said before, on our website. There's a couple of URLs there about our API documentation and a higher level introduction to why the TDS program has commenced, which most of you guys will be well and truly across. What we might do is just kick ahead to any additional questions that you guys might have. Again, feel free to type them through or raise your hand and we can go through a few questions.
We've got a couple of questions. We've got one from John, what does API stand for? Great question. We probably didn't really cover that at the beginning so apologies for anybody else who's in that same boat. API stands for application programming interface. Now, what that means is a way for two computer systems to interact with each other. That's about us allowing the case management software of your firms to interact with the case management software of IP Australia. For those of you that are currently using, for example, Inprotech and B2B, it's effectively a more modern way to do that. For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to take up B2B, part of the reason we're moving towards APIs rather than the B2B system is because they're a lot easier to work with and that translates into it being faster for you to integrate and cheaper for you to integrate because it's less complex and the specialist skills that you might need are more generally available.
Moving on to a question from Paul. It'd be great to have a community/wiki-area somewhere to ask questions and open discussion. That was something that we did talk about in Melbourne, this workshop there. We have been investigating some options about that. Certainly, we'd be very interested in feedback from the whole group, really, about how useful that would be for them just so we can work out our prioritizing that over some of the other stuff that we're working on. I've got a couple of questions from Michael. The first was, can you provide example coding for PHP? The answer there is, I'm pretty sure yes, giving you five seconds just to check. Sorry, that's not included in the standard set of code examples. Through the portal, you will actually see code examples for curl, HTTP, JavaScript, Python-C and Java. That's the stuff that's provided by our platform.
We could probably talk to our tech team following this webinar, Michael, and raise it with some of our developers and see whether or not that's something that we support and give you an example if possible or we can take that off and I'll make some contact with you, Michael.
I think just wrapping that up as well, Michael or anybody else on the line, if there are additional languages that you are interested in, please let us know and that can again help shape our thinking about the tools and technologies that we use and the support that we provide to you. Now, there's another question from Michael, can you make prior art documents and that's something that we need to go away and think about so that's something that we'll definitely Josh and the team, probably make contact, talk with you a bit more about that understand it and then come back with a more fulsome answer.
And Michael, we'll capture that as a story and I'll make some contact with you about some of the detail that we need to look at but that would probably enter the patents, like the AusPat realm, in terms of accessing prior art for patents and it's something that yes, definitely would be considered but we need to just unpack it a little bit.
So now, we've had a range of questions from a couple of people on the line. There certainly, if there are any more questions, now's the time, seeing how the floor is yours, or type out, rather, raise your hand, and if we don't have any more in the next minute or so we'll probably look to wrap it up there.
Just while we're letting questions go, what I didn't mention before is next webinar, we're probably going to look at a webinar in June so it's a good chance then to have a look at where we're at in terms of, I think the particular folks at that point will be trademarking our vocations, so like I said, reach out about getting involved and providing some influence on that particular transactional journey and we can have some workshops individually, capture some users' stories and requirements that you guys may have that we can document for our technical team during that build. It looks like there's no more questions coming in, guys. We might wrap it up at that point.
As we keep saying, if you've got any questions following the session, please reach out. Send it to a TDS inbox or to me, if you've got my email. I can raise them with my team. As I said at the start of the webinar, an email will go out to everyone who registered today with a link to the recorded webinar, so if you want to share it with your colleagues or your partners, anything like that, that is able to be done. We'll also publish it on the website along with our first recorded webinar for people that need to catch up a little bit. Otherwise, it's been a good session today, guys. Apologies for the technical hurdles we faced at our end. We'll make sure they're refined for next time, but we appreciate your input and appreciate the time that you've taken out of lunch and we will talk to you very soon.


If You Give A Teacher An Ipad: My December Apps!
Seven days into December and I finally have my app folders ready on 4 of the 5 ipads in the pod!
Yup, a pod is a lot of work!
What have I got going on in December? Some old faves hung around for another month and now that we finally know how to add I threw in a few exciting math newbies!
I posted about this great find in early November I believe. The kids were so excited to see it in the December work folder. It works on Spelling and High Frequency words in all kinds of fun ways. Definitely worth the $1.99 in my opinion!
I have used the Hungry Fish app in the past which is for kids who know their addition facts. This game is the precursor to that introducing numbers and joining sets of numbers. It's $3.99.... a little pricey in the app world, but if your kiddos are into math they'll love it, especially when the fish gets bigger and bigger!
By December in Grade One most of my kiddos really see themselves as readers and are excited to read "other books" instead of our classroom pm book collection. I always introduce them to Biscuit, they love this puppy and they love to take home my extensive collection of Biscuit books. When I discovered there were all kinds of Biscuit book apps I was thrilled! I was lucky enough to get this book for free, but it is now $2.99. There are many more Biscuit titles ranging from 99 cents to $2.99. You can see not only is it a book, it has coloring pages, a sticker collection, memory games and a puzzle!
This app is loads of fun... well worth the $1.99! It's like the old school video game where you are shooting at alien spaceships before they get to the ground. I have the kindergarten and grade one versions of this app and find the kindergarten to be at a more appropriate level based on our Manitoba curriculum. It begins with counting forward, then backwards and then basic addition.
We use Max Doodle to practice our spelling words. It's an alternative to Doodle Buddy and is a fun interactive way to spell. I have posted about both of these apps in the past, but have just put Max Doodle in our folder for the first time and the kids are THRILLED!
There is absolutely nothing educational about this at all but the kids think it is hilarious to give Santa a new style. Last year I had a special needs child and this app was EXTREMELY calming for him. Toca apps are a favorite in my house, unfortunately we have almost outgrown these preschool apps.
Again nothing educational, but you can dance and play music with the Gingerbread man and record your voice. It's another freebie for a little Christmas fun!
Learn to draw all sorts of Christmas characters, then color and select backgrounds!
I blogged about this one already!
And that is all..... I am sure there are many more Christmas apps out there, let me know what you find that's worth while!

Home Breaking News Controversy over gun-carrying soldiers – including turbaned Sikhs – in Toronto's Khalsa...
Controversy over gun-carrying soldiers – including turbaned Sikhs – in Toronto's Khalsa Day Parade
GUN-CARRYING soldiers, including turbaned Sikhs, in Toronto's Khalsa Day Parade on April 24 has sparked off a huge controversy.
The Canadian Press reported that Canadian Army spokeswoman Karla Gimby informed it in an email that "normally, weapons are not carried at such events. The decision to have personnel in full fighting order was made by the local commander and was not in keeping with the Canadian Armed Forces Manual of Drill and Ceremonial."
The army's top commander in Ontario has issued additional orders prohibiting the carrying of weapons at similar events, Gimby told the Canadian Press.
Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan said in a statement that, "while the intentions to participate in this event were good, the choice that was made was inappropriate," according to Global News.
"I know that the commander of 4th division and other commanders will take appropriate action to ensure that something like this never happens again," he said.
But many Sikhs feel that if all the soldiers had been white guys, nobody would have batted an eyelid.
The photos of the soldiers are being used by racists – including racist journalists – to try and create problems for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Watch for all those twisted, bigoted comments!

Oday Rasheed ( Arabic:عدي رشيد  born June 17, 1973) is an Arab-American film director, screenwriter and producer born and raised in Baghdad, Iraq. Rasheed immigrated to New York City in 2012. He has been living and working in Los Angeles since 2022.

Rasheed's film debut Underexposure (2005) was "billed as the first feature shot in occupied Baghdad" after the U.S. Invasion of Iraq in 2003 where "Oday Rasheed has taken the term 'guerilla filmmaking' to a whole new level," according to Variety Magazine.

Life

Oday Rasheed was born in Baghdad, Iraq. After graduating from high school, he attended but did not graduate from the Institute for Electrical Science, the Institute for Applicable Art and the Faculty for Fine Arts in Baghdad. He went on to work for local newspapers writing film reviews and articles on cinema.

In the early 1990's, Rasheed co-founded an experimental art and theater group, later known as Najeen (survivors).  The troupe put on performances merging scenes from writers such as Henry Miller and the beat poets Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Allen Ginsberg. In the later 1990's, Rasheed went on to produce experimental short films.

Oday Rasheed has been particularly concerned about the future of Iraqi cinema and the lack of opportunities available to young filmmakers in his country. As a result he has been engaged in workshops for young filmmakers and in 2008, he co-founded the Iraqi Independent Film Center for young artists.

Rasheed immigrated to the United States in 2012, where he was also an artist in residence at the San Francisco Film Society.
He has lectured on film studies at universities across the world from Cinémathèque Française in Paris, Georgetown University, New York University and University of California in the United States, as well as at the Japan Foundation Forum, The Council of Foreign Affairs in NY and others.

Films

Underexposure

Underexposure, a docufiction produced by Majed Rasheed and Furat Al-Jamil and filmed by cinematographer Ziad Turkey on expired 35mm Kodak film stock, was met with global critical acclaim. Underexposure was the first movie to be filmed in Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein and the first Iraqi film in over a decade to not be censored by the Baath party. "Oday sees this as a critical time, in terms of reintroducing culture to their country. And he and his comrades are going at it with whatever they have."

Filming was finished in April 2004 and Underexposure was released in June 2005 after post-production was completed in Berlin, Germany, with co-producers Tom Tykwer and Maria Kopf of X Filme Creative Pool.

Underexposure was shown in over 28 film festivals around the world, with the world premiere at International Film Festival Rotterdam (Netherlands 2005).  Rasheed received numerous awards for his work on Underexposure, including Best Film in the Singapore International Film Festival in 2005.

In 2020, Underexposure was featured as part of the "Theatre of Operations – The Gulf War 1991-2011" Exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art.

Qarantina

According to L.A. Times, Rasheed is "trying to find beauty in the darkness of Iraq" while filming his second feature, Qarantina (2010).  Qarantina examines the realities of postwar Iraq through the unlikely interactions of a killer and a family that make their residence in an abandoned building. The assassin watches coldly as the family struggles with an abusive father and unmarried pregnant daughter. According to Rasheed, "Qarantina is my second visual expression of my impressions of my country – my hometown, Baghdad – and its reality since 2003. At least to me, it is a portrayal of inhumane and unnatural events in a society struggling with post-war trauma."

The international release of Qarantina was at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (2011).  The U.S. premiere was at the Museum of Modern Art, NY, part of ten films in The Global Lens 2012.  It was also shown at Abu Dhabi Film Festival (2010), Seattle Film Festival (2011), Munich Film Festival (2011), Gulf Film Festival (2011). It won the Special Juries Prize at the Oran International Arabic Film Festival (2010).

If You See Something

In December 2021, Rasheed began filming his first English speaking movie, If You See Something. The film follows an Iraqi immigrant seeking political asylum and an ambitious American woman, who start to build their life together in New York. When a crisis strikes, they are forced to navigate its impact on their relationship.

If You See Something is produced by Brian Newman, Frank Hall Green, Stephanie Roush & Emily McCann Lesser. The cast includes Jess Jacobs, Reed Birney, Adam Bakri, Lucy Owen, Krystina Alabado, Nasser Faris.	If You See Something is in the final stages of post-production.

Songs of Adam

Rasheed returned to Iraq to film Songs of Adam in the Anbar Province. It follows Adam, a 12 years old Iraqi farm boy, who tries to stop time in him, while continuing to observe its rowdy passage in the lives of others. It takes place in a remote village, on the banks of the Euphrates River in Western Mesopotamia over a period of 80 years.

The production of Songs of Adam began mid-March 2022 and concluded on May 26th, 2022. It is produced by Oday Rasheed and Majed Rasheed with KiAn Films, and it is in early post-production with editor, Muha Nad Rasheed.

Themes

The main themes present in Oday Rasheed's work are: surviving war mentally and emotionally, confronting the patriarchal society in Iraq, immigration, and the poetic aspect and limitless ability for the human being.

The Hollywood Reporter writes: ″In "Qarantina," his slow-moving, beautiful lensed second feature set in contemporary Baghdad, Iraqi director Oday Rasheed again describes life in the depressing, angst-ridden city where tanks, bombs and gunfire have become part of the urban landscape.″

Ned Parker and Salar Jaff write for the LA times: ″The [main] character has been plucked from the wreckage of Baghdad's eight years of occupation and civil war — conjured by writer and director Oday Rasheed in a haunting new film called "Qarantina".... In "Qarantina", a woman speaks in the dark to the hit man. He looks back at her, tired. Her words could be said by Rasheed, by those who watch his film, perhaps even by the hit man. They are the words of people who feel trapped by forces beyond their control, but who still dare to hope: I want to live. I want to work. I want a friend.″

Naomi Wolf for Al Jazeera writes: ″One of Iraq's only working filmmakers, Oday Rasheed – whose brilliant film Underexposure (2005) followed a group of characters in Baghdad after the United States-led invasion in 2003… His embrace of the right to his truth, which is the artist's task, is nonetheless remarkable, given that he is working in an environment in which part of the creative process involves trying to stay alive.″

Q: jquery mobile how to clear text in Textarea? I'm using Jquery mobile, and I have a input form with clear text button.
ex) <input type="text" name="" id="" value="" data-clear-btn="true" />
Then What about the Textarea tag ?
<textarea name="" cols="" rows=""  data-clear-btn="true"></textarea>

This does not working.
Is there any way to solve this problem ?

A: data-clear-btn is only for textinput, not for textareas.
If you want a similar function, you must create a button near the text area, and clear that programically on button click, setting val('') to the textarea.
    <textarea id="myTextarea" name="" cols="" rows=""></textarea>
    Clear

If you want the same efect than data-clear-btn in textinputs, you must hide the button when the textarea is empty, and show it when the textarea has data, with an onChange event over the textarea. Also you can put the button over a textarea's corner using css, and make it translucent when the mouse is not over it, with a hover tag in the css.

A: HTML:

<input type="text" />
Click to Change Input's Value

jQuery Script:
$('a').bind('click', function () {
$('input').val('');
});

Smart Marketing: Small Moves Add Up Big
April 29, 2011 April 29, 2011 by Jeff
I've been meaning to post this one for a while, but life has kept me pretty busy and I wanted to devote the necessary time to give this article the respect it deserves. A few weeks ago on twitter I noticed some pictures of a sleek new 9-5 Aero with some huge custom painted wheels.
Sure it's a sweet ride, but the tweet that accompanied it is what really caught my attention.
Greenlife52: Thanks Saab for the new whip. Great car. http://moby.to/5smulb 6:48 PM Apr 12th via Twittelator
For those of you who don't know, that's Mike Green, star defenseman on the top team in the Eastern Conference of the NHL, the Washington Capitals. Just as you probably are, I was very interested in how he got a hold of the car and who at Saab gave or lent it to him. As I dug deeper, I found what is perhaps the best example I've come across of how small moves in a local market can add up to make a huge impact.
I called the largest Saab dealer in the DC area, International Saab in Dulles, VA, and asked who might know about this story. One of the salesmen immediately told me, "You'll want to speak with Kurt, he's responsible for that." I gave him my number, and within an hour I got a call from Kurt Schirm, the owner of International Saab, who happens to be the head of the Saab Cars North America Dealer Council.
"So you guys gave Mike Green a new 9-5, huh?" I asked.
"Ya, we set him up with that new white 9-5 Aero. It's got every option you can think of on it– Nav, Ventilated Seats, Panoramic Sunroof, Harmon Kardon, Rear Entertainment Package, we even custom painted those Spock wheels black on there. It's a great looking car," Kurt told me.
"How'd you get involved with him?" I inquired.
"We got hooked up through an agent, and I've been meaning to get a Cap (Washington Capitals player) into a car for a while. We thought it would be a big deal to have someone high profile in a Saab showing their support for the brand," said Kurt.
"Hockey is and should be a solid target audience for us. If you think about it, it's is an alternative sport in the US, it's not as mainstream as football is, and Saabs aren't mainstream cars either. Both have strong Scandinavian roots, and so the association should be natural. When you look at all the major sports in the country, if you look among hockey fans you'll see higher demographics than all the others, higher income, education level, you name it. So we really feel like hockey and Saab should be a natural fit."
I found it interesting he found this connection just as I did independently a few days prior in my article about what Sweden can learn from an American hockey team, where I suggested that my local Saab dealer should hook our new rookie Swedish goaltender up with a new Saab. Indeed, I completely agree with Kurt that hockey should be a major rung of the Saab advertising arm, and small moves like the one International Saab is doing add up to make a huge difference in the minds of impressionable hockey fans.
"It's interesting," Kurt went on. "The Caps are the best team we have (in Washington D.C.). They're at the top of their game. I've been a season ticket holder for years, and fans love them. When you can channel the fans' passion that's proven and deep for a known team and get one of their heros to put his stamp of approval on a product, basically saying 'this is cool,' you can make a really strong impression."
It's worth noting that Mike Green's other cars are high profile and have attracted much attention already. He not only has a Lamborghini Gallardo pictured below which you'll note matches his new Saab perfectly, but a black Bentley Continental GT and two Escalades (one Hybrid).
If you're so inclined, you can see more of Mike's bachelor lifestyle on an episode of Cribs which has so far picked up 122,000 views on its own. No doubt driving the Saab and giving a big thumbs up for the car via twitter is a big statement for someone who could park any sedan he wanted to in his garage.
But according to Kurt, it's not going to end with twitter. "He's actually going to be cutting some commercials for us at some point soon," he told me. As soon as we can get a hold of them, we'll definitely be posting them at SaabsUnited. The impact a commercial like this could have shouldn't be downplayed. For American hockey fans, it's a huge wake up call that Saab is a brand to take seriously. On a day that many of you might have watched the royal wedding, it's their equivalent of seeing Jaguars, Bentleys, and Rolls Royces rolling up to the front of Westminster Abbey– they pay attention to what their team's players care about.
Kurt and I went on to talk about just how big an impact small moves like this can make for relatively low cost. For example, while Saab spent at least $100,000 to be a part of the Aspen Shortsfest we covered, which for sure gets coverage, it doesn't carry with it a strong endorsement like that of a major figure that Mike Green's Saab publicity will. While I didn't ask whether or not International Saab outright gave the car to Mike Green or is loaning it to him (none of my business ;)), even if they did the cost is minimal considering what they get out of it in a market where hockey is an incredibly important and influential sport. It's ideas like this that should be encouraged and nurtured by Saab not only in the states, but around the world.
One thing we often talk about here is how we are shocked by how amazing the cars are, yet how low the confidence is in Saab as a company. Something that can go a long way towards repairing that image is by having high profile figures like sports celebrities give their stamp of approval and say, "This car is cool and Saab is a company I can get behind." If you think about it, in many small markets where Saab has traditionally fared best (think Boston, Albany, Buffalo, parts of the tri-state area), the biggest celebrities are usually these sports stars, and the hockey players are often overlooked when it comes to endorsements, yet they have the most rabid die hard fans who take their opinions very seriously.
Indeed, Kurt wants to see Saab do the same with other NHL stars like the Sedin twins in Vancouver (something commenter Jason Powell would be more than happy about I'm sure). "I'd love to put them in matching black and white 9-5s," Kurt told me.
"Beyond the obvious NHL connections, Saab should be going after college hockey too. The frozen four for instance could be huge (the NCAA equivalent of the Stanley Cup playoffs). There's a real opportunity to go after youth hockey, where parents are extremely impressionable and where sponsorships could have a deeper meaning," he went on.
If anyone at Saab is listening, I think Kurt's ideas should be nurtured and given extreme weight– his are the first I've heard that are actionable, rooted in Saab's natural Swedish DNA, and can be done at a local level. Instead of a broad sweeping approach on cable channels and the internet, perhaps Saab should start focusing first on rebuilding their core markets in the Northeast US and around the country where hockey is part of the culture? If given the opportunity, this connection to hocket could easily be cultivated and capitalized upon for low cost– think program ads with Mike Green in Washington or local ad buys as International Saab plans on doing. Big moves in small ponds can have a far greater impact on sales, and it's this alternative spirit that is what once built Saab in the first place. Kurt– the late CEO of Saab-Scania Bob Sinclair would certainly be proud of your efforts, and I hope that everyone at Saab start to give you a greater voice in the company. Well done.

Safe to buy a Saab in Sweden
Saab Up!

I'd rather it have been Crosby… but he, like the rest of the Pittsburgh Penguins are now Golfing…
Good story either way!
EricI
I've bought three cars from Kurt's shop over the years–International Motors knows what they're doing. It's not surprising he'd think up something clever and Saab-ish like this. It totally fits with the Saab ethic of getting the most you can out of limited resources (to wit, 4-cyl turbo).
washaero
That's my dealer, having bought three Saabs from Intl Motors (they're in Falls Church, VA). This dealer, Saab only, has the Saab passion through-in-through.
gunteman
Well done!! Indeed!
…but I really don't get black wheels. Always look like spare tires to me.
900 classic cab
I've been saying this for a long time. Sometimes it's better to advertise like this, without spending lot's of money that SAAB doesn't have.
Another thing I'd like to see, would be a long all terrain journey with the 9-3x and 9-4x. Obviously not a "Camel Trophy", cause these vehicles weren't built for that, but I think they would cause an impression on an Australian coast to coast trip or Pan American journey, where the 9-4X is supposed to sell. Maybe some of us could even have the chance to embark on such trip 🙂
Wouldn't it be awesome ?
That would actually be pretty sweet dave. Make it across all the continents and then you really have something amazing. Alaska to Argentina, England to Hong Kong, and right across Australia like you suggested. Stop along the way and meet with Saab clubs, dealers, etc. and have events with invited guests from the local media to promote it, local news teams looking for something to cover would probably pick it up.
Exactly ! a convoy of 6 to 8 cars, mechanical support, with daily entries on facebook, INSIDE SAAB 🙂 , you name it, all the mediatic exposure it could get. Even a reality show if there were producers interested… a kind of "Pekin Express" (French TV show) but with SAABS. I would gladly volunteer 🙂
and of course, SAABs United. I didn't even mentioned because is so obvious 😉
It´s a realy good ide, I want in 😉
🙂 Actually this is one of my lifetime goals, mainly inspired on those 2-wheels adventurers who made Alaska-Patagonia. Never thought it could be done in a SAAB, but since the 9-3X came up and later the 9-4X, I just can't get this out of my mind 🙂
Yerrun
Now THIS is marketing of the 21st century! 🙂 Great work Saab USA! Many people underestimate the power of Twitter and Facebook. just by adding an @something or #something, you sometimes reach millions of people.
For example: Many people are following #Mercedes (just like i am following #SAAB)…
After the big recall of the Mercedes M-class, I twittered
"Time to exchange your #mercedes for a #Saab 9-4x maybe?"
No idea how many got to read this tweet but i am sure QUITE A FEW!
coggs
Can work both ways. New England Patriots quartback Tom Brady recently got into an accident (not at fault) while driving an Audi S8 "loaned" to him by a Boston area dealer. It generated a lot of negative press. Mostly about Brady ("Can't he afford to buy a car?") and not Audi. I guess if you subscribe to the "Any news is good news" philosophy this is a great idea. Now if Mike Green in fact owns that car it's a great story no matter how you look at it.
maanders
This is a great story!
Does anyone know if any other car brands are official sponsors of the Washington Capitals? If so, was that an issue? I know here in Raleigh, NC, Chevrolet is an official sponsor of the Carolina Hurricanes. With a Cadillac/Saab/Spyker dealer here, it would be great to get one or more of the Hurricanes set up with a 9-5, or especially the 9-4x or 9-5 SportCombi. Hockey (and especially youth hockey) is really growing here with fans in the same demographics that Kurt mentions.
JasonPowell
Unfortunately the Sedin twins have been in Vancouver for a lot longer then we have been a Saab dealer and have a car deal already with that OTHER Swedish company. It is something we have talked about in the past as well. On a side note for marketing in Canada, http://www.saab.ca is up and running now.
It's great to see Springman's up on the list at http://www.saab.ca, I'm glad Saab got an official site up. Maybe someone from Saab could help you find out when the Sedin's deal is up for renewal? 😛 I think Saab should promote Kurt if there's a position for him internally to allow him to carry out his ideas and help dealers like yours gain some traction in their local markets. The man has some great ideas beyond hockey.
Thanks for the nice words. I think we all have a lot of idea's and the only thing that stops them from happening is money and or the ability to have the manufacturer split the cost. Hopefully some of these road blocks are removed in the future and we will see more marketing on all levels.
kiriakos
Give one to Carrie Price and advertise with the Montreal "Canadiens" in the next season. They have the largest audience of all NHL teams. Hockey has become like a religion in Quebec, which is in fact a traditionally strong market for Saab.
Just a suggestion for much needed advertising in Canada.
Lars S
When we bring the Hartford Whalers back we'll have them all driving Saabs! 😉
Know the guys at imsaab they rock! They had told me about this car a few weeks back, glad. To see it made the headlines! IMSAAB is the best.
I agree with Kiriakos.
Also there is this substantial potential for much more Saab sales in the whole of Canada, especially the 4WD versions; not only is Canada, like Scandinavia, a nordic country, but there are many more similarities that could lead to quite an increase in Saab sales..
Trollblazer
Great, but what if an astronaut would buy/drive a Saab, now that would really be a stamp of approval….
So, Christer Fuglesang, if you not already do, go ahead and buy that new Aero….! 😉
In the Good Old Days the astronauts drove mainly Corvettes…

I am in a real dilemma. My father has just turned 59 and he is showing signs of dementia. I do not know how to approach him. I am worried I will make things worse for him by bringing his attention to his health, even though I know he must be aware of his memory loss because it is so obvious. Because I have found it difficult to control my feelings and deal with the emotional pain when thinking about my father, I am worried about becoming emotional and upset when we do eventually discuss it. I want him to know more than anything that I love him dearly and will always be there for him.
Your father is lucky to have a daughter like you. He's lucky that you love him enough to feel pain about his declining health, but also to intervene when it's in his best interest. I hope my children will do the same.
I have a couple of thoughts for you about this situation. The first is a reality check about crucial conversations. The second is some important advice about how to succeed in this absolutely crucial conversation.
The reality check is this: being skilled at crucial conversations does not mean that a) they are easy, or b) they always lead to the outcomes you want. This conversation may well be difficult. It involves both you and your father coming to accept a reality that you may not like. He may want to deny or minimize the issue, and you may be so worried about rupturing your relationship that you'll be tempted to let him.
The good news is that being skilled at crucial conversations helps you minimize the pain. It helps ensure that the tone and spirit of the conversation is as healthy as it can be, and that your chance of influencing the other person is as great as possible. In my own view, your current crucial conversation is all the more important because as much as anything it is a test of your love for your father. It is a measure of whether your motive in your relationship with him is more about serving his best interests or maintaining his positive feelings for you. I have an abiding belief that if it's the former, you can find a way to have the latter, too. But if it's the latter, you surrender the former in the bargain.
There are two things I'd advise you to keep in mind in this conversation. Both of these are predictors of your influence and success in the conversation.
1. You are more likely to succeed if you give up the need to succeed. Unless your father is in immediate physical danger, your goal in this conversation is not to convince him that you are right, but to open the topic for discussion. In fact, I'd suggest your goal not be to come to agreement about his current status as much as to come to agreement that something is happening and that you should agree to criteria for taking steps in the future. In other words, after opening the discussion, you might say, "Dad, given that your health is being affected, and that others are more likely to be aware of how bad it is than you are, can we talk about what signs we'll watch for that indicate you need to change your living situation?" If this discussion is held before things are too acute, you may be able to keep an open dialogue going about where you are in the process. Unless things are dangerous now, focus less on how things are than on when things will need to change. Don't worry about convincing him of your current view–just involve him in discussing scenarios.
2. Lead with facts, not stories. Your father may not agree with your story ("your memory is declining"). Your success in being persuasive depends upon your ability to share specific observations you've made–particularly those he may recognize. Share a series of these to help him see that it is a pattern, or he's likely to write off the one or two you can recollect.
3. Generously express your love and discomfort while candidly expressing your concerns. As you know from reading "Crucial Conversations," the predictor of success here is how safe your father feels with you. He'll need to feel particularly safe when you're talking about him adapting to a whole different lifestyle and reality. When he seems upset or worried or even defensive, step out of the content and hug and kiss him–or whatever is the way you two express affection for each other. Then collect yourself and return to the content when he's ready. If needed, you may even want to break this up over time with agreed upon breaks in the conversation.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. It's at times like this that we have a chance to return the love our parents gave us when we were less able. It's the most honorable thing we can do. And your crucial conversation will be one of your first expressions of love and honor in this new phase of your relationship.

Tributes paid to racing champion killed in Donegal Rally crash
Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin expressed his sadness at the loss of Manus Kelly who had recently been elected as a local government councillor
A racer has died following a crash at the Donegal Rally (Niall Carson/PA)
By Rebecca Black, Press Association

Tributes have been paid to a racing champion who was killed in a crash while competing in the Donegal Rally.

Manus Kelly, a father of five, was fatally injured when he was involved in a single car crash.
His navigator, a man aged in his 30s, was injured and was rushed to Letterkenny University Hospital. His injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
At this very sad time, our Thoughts and Prayers are with the Kelly family.
Rest In Peace Manus Kelly 🙏 pic.twitter.com/V5xW9VcHR0

The incident happened at around 12.30pm on Sunday, the final day of the three-day event at the Fanad Head loop section of the course.
Mr Kelly was a local government councillor in Donegal for Fianna Fail.
He was widely respected and loved by all of the rally community here in Ireland. Micheal Martin
Party leader Micheal Martin has expressed his sadness at Mr Kelly's death, offering his condolences to his wife, five children and wider family.
"As three time consecutive and reigning champion of the Donegal International Rally, Manus's racing talent was limitless," he said.
"He was widely respected and loved by all of the rally community here in Ireland.
"Manus had just embarked on a promising career in local politics having recently been elected to Donegal County Council representing the Fianna Fail party.

Posted by Motorsport Ireland on Sunday, June 23, 2019
"It was obvious throughout his recent election campaign that he was passionate and entirely committed to serving the people of the Letterkenny electoral area which he cherished.
"Manus made a huge contribution to his community.
"As a self-employed businessman, he employed 60 people in Letterkenny. He was an active fundraiser and advocate for the Letterkenny University Hospital. He had great commitment to the GAA and managed his local club, Glenswilly to Junior B success in 2016.
"He will be sorely missed by his family, friends and all those closest to him. My thoughts this evening also remain with Manus's co-driver and loyal colleague, Donal Barrett. Manus's death is an immeasurable loss to us all.
A Garda spokesman said officers are investigating the incident.
"At approximately 12.20pm a competitor in the rally, male 40s, was fatally injured when his car was involved in a single car crash during a stage of the event in Fanad," he said.
"His navigator (male 30s) injured in the crash was taken by Ambulance to Letterkenny University Hospital. His injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
"The matter is under investigation and the local Coroner has been notified.
"The deceased has since been removed to the mortuary at Letterkenny UH.

French Guiana seeking consistency in Nations League
Concacaf Nations League 2019
MF Jules Haabo (in the picture) scored two goals in the 2019 Concacaf Nations League Qualiying (Photo courtesy Canada Soccer)
MIAMI.- After qualifying for the 2017 Concacaf Gold Cup, French Guiana arrived into 2019-20 Concacaf Nations League Qualifying full of confidence and optimistic about their chances of making a return trip to the 2019 Gold Cup.
After a week one 5-0 win over Anguilla, French Guiana were poised to take the next step, only to suffer a narrow 1-0 home loss to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. That set in motion an up-and-down CNLQ campaign in which Les Yana Dokos finished with a 2W-0D-2L record with eight goals scored and six conceded.
The results of the CNLQ have placed French Guiana in League B, where they find themselves in a tricky Group A along with Saint Kitts and Nevis, Grenada and Belize.
Paramount for French Guiana will be to find their scoring stride, particularly on the forward line. In the four matches in CNLQ, DF Kevin Rimane and MF Jules Haabo led French Guiana in scoring with two goals each.
It will be imperative for French Guiana to have forwards like Joffrey Torvic, Thomas Issorat or Warren Rino find the back of the net early and often in League B.
All three players scored in the 5-0 win over Anguilla, and with a home date slotted for September 5 against Belize, the opportunity will present itself to assemble a formidable attack and put together a consistent run of results that yields promotion to League A.

I mentioned the other day that I was working on some changes to the site. Well, the good news is that they're pretty much complete. The biggest change is that I'm moving from WordPress to Blogger to host this blog. So what does this mean? For most of you, it means nothing. If you want to continue reading this blog (which I hope you do!), keep returning to www.Dollarsavingdiva.com. Those who will be affected are the subscribers to this blog. Because the subscription is through WordPress, it won't continue anymore. BUT, if you want to continue subscribing (which again, I hope you do!), you can subscribe through Blogger. Just go to www.Dollarsavingdiva.com and click on the subscribe button.
Sorry for the low frequency of my posts lately, but I have been doing some work on the site and have been trying to limit the new content. Don't worry though, DSD will return in full swing soon enough!!
However, I couldn't not make sure that everyone knows about all the sales going on right now (sorry about the double negative). The end of January/early February seems to be the time where the stores start clearing out their winter inventory to make room for spring!!!!!! (I'm so tired of this winter… spring can't come soon enough!). This means major discounts. For instance, yesterday, I found an amazing black DVF cocktail dress on sale at Bloomingdale's (unfortunately I can't find a picture of it). Originally $445, it was reduced to $268. All sale items in Bloomie's are 50% right now, so I used my amazing math skills to calculate the final price to be $134, and I was pretty stoked about that price. But when the salesperson rang my dress up, it came out to $77!! My mouth dropped open. I don't know where that discount came from, but I'm certainly not going to complain! That's even better than sample sale pricing!
The sales aren't limited to Bloomingdale's. I stopped in Lord & Taylor and Macy's on Saturday, and sales abounded. If you're looking for deals on jewelry (if I have any male readers, Valentine's Day is just around the corner!), I would check out Macy's ASAP because they are hosting a huge jewelry sale! I haven't been to Saks or Bergdorf lately, but I would venture to guess that you can score some good deals there as well.
So go shopping!!!! You don't want to miss out on these deals!
In light of the most recent snowstorm to hit NYC this winter (what's up with the weather this year??), I thought it would be a good time to further reminisce about being in Hawaii. As promised, I'm going to give you some tips on how to score good deals while vacationing. I'm also going to give you some "don'ts" so you don't make the same mistakes I did.
1. This is an absolute "DO"– get a guidebook before you go on vacation. They are soooo helpful and really give you an insight into wherever you're traveling that you wouldn't have otherwise. Also, it will give you recommendations for restaurants, tour companies, excursions, etc. I will usually do some research as to what are the best books for a particular location, but in general I really like the Let's Go series for Europe, and will use Fodor's for other places as my default if I can't find any clear book winner. For Hawaii, I heard unequivocal praise for the Hawaii guidebooks from Wizard Publications (which I had never heard of before).
I will usually check these books out of the library prior to my trip. However, the NYPL actually does not carry Wizard's The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook, so I went out and purchased it (using a 20% off coupon at Barnes & Noble!). I would HIGHLY recommend this book if you ever go to Hawaii (there's a different book for each island).
2. The next tip is pretty obvious and goes hand in hand with my previous tip. Research and plan beforehand. When I'm doing a vacation involving a lot of sight-seeing, I like to have at least a rough idea of the things I want to see and do. I won't make a structured itinerary–I like to leave some flexibility– but I want to make sure that I'll have time to do everything I had hoped to. Another benefit of researching beforehand is that you may actually save money! For instance, my boyfriend and I decided to take a helicopter tour of Kauai. We decided on one particular tour company that seemed to be the most reputable. When I looked on their website, I saw the price was $229 per person. I called the company and asked about discounts and learned that the only available discount was for AAA members. So I did a little more digging online, and found a Maui-based tour company, Tom Barefoot's Tours that was offering discounted reservations. I wound up booking through Tom Barefoot, and we paid $197 per person. While this certainly wasn't cheap, between the two of us, we wound up saving $64. Hey, it's something! And for the record, the ride was totally worth the money.
View of the Napali Coast from the helicopter. The picture does NOT do it justice!
Anyway, this post is much longer than I anticipated. But I still have a few more tips so stay tuned for one last post on my vacation money-saving tips!
Well, I'm back from Hawaii! Thanks to NY for welcoming me with freezing temperatures. It's sooo great to be back!
My trip was fantastic–we spent 9 nights in Honolulu and Kauai, and had a wonderful time. Of course, just because I left NY behind, doesn't mean that I left my dollar-saving ways behind too. In fact, I'm happy to report that while the trip was by no means cheap, I was able to score quite a few discounts, saving us a significant amount of money.
I'm going to share some of the tips and tricks I used to get the deals I found, so that you can save some dollars on your next trip!
One of the biggest savings that I got came from Priceline.com. Believe it or not, I had never used the "Name Your Own Price" feature on the website, but I wound up using it twice for this trip. And I can't wait to use it again!!! I used Priceline for our hotel in Kauai, as well as for our rental car there.
Because we went to Hawaii during the rainy season, I was afraid of bad weather and wanted to do everything I could to ensure the best possible weather. For that reason, I decided to stay on the South Shore of Kauai, in Poipu Beach, because it was supposed to be sunnier and drier than the island's other major resort areas. I wanted to stay in a 4 or 5 star resort, and there were only two in that part of Kauai–the Sheraton and Grand Hyatt. At close to $500 per night, the Grand Hyatt was out of our budget, so I decided to stay at the Sheraton with a base rate of about $230 per night. I monitored Sheraton's website and found a deal for 35% off the nightly rate with the 5th night free. This was by far the best deal I found for it, coming in with a base rate of about $175 per night. I was very happy with this rate, but wanted to see if I could do better. (Also, I was kind of salivating over the Hyatt). So I decided to check out Priceline.
And I'm glad I did! I had never used Priceline before because I was afraid to relinquish control over what hotel I'd be staying in. But I didn't realize that you can choose hotels by star level and by location. I checked out the regular hotel search on Priceline, and the Sheraton and Grand Hyatt were the only 2 hotels that appeared in the location I wanted and in the "resort" category, so I knew that I'd get one of the two. So I went for it, and wound up booking the Sheraton at $135 per night! For a beach-front resort in Hawaii, that deal was pretty much unbeatable, and I saved about $40 per night.
What made it even better was that the hotel was supposed to undergo a renovation starting 2 days before we were supposed to arrive. The hotel only announced this a few days prior to that date, and as a consolation, it was going to offer its guests free breakfast for the duration of their stay (the buffet was normally about $25 per person). Luckily, the renovation was pushed back until after we were leaving the hotel, but we were still given the breakfast vouchers. Additionally, because the hotel wasn't at full capacity, we asked for and received an ocean-view room. For $135 a night (plus taxes and the BS "resort fee").
The view from our balcony... I wish I could be there now!
The hotel itself was nice, but nothing spectacular. I'm curious to see what it will look like after the renovation. Overall though, it was undoubtedly worth what we paid for it, and even if we had paid the higher price, I wouldn't have regretted it. Thanks Priceline!
I booked a convertible through Priceline as well. The savings were much more modest at about $15 per night, but I think we could've gotten a great deal if we had just wanted a normal car.
Anyway, the savings did not end with the hotel and car. Stay tuned for some of the other discounts I found as well as my other vacation saving tips!
*If you were wondering about the title, Mahalo is "thank you" in Hawaiian.
Hey everyone! Sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but I'm currently vacationing in Hawaii, so Dollar Saving Diva will be on hiatus until I return on January 24 (unless I decide to ditch freezing NYC and just stay here, which is quite possible). So don't forget to check back after then for more deals in NYC, and I'll also tell you about some of the tricks I used to make this vacation (somewhat) affordable (and, also what I might have done differently)! Stay tuned!!
Waikiki beach, where I'm currently staying. Tomorrow, off to even more beautiful Kauai!
New York Magazine's Sample Sale List is Back!
So last week, I complained to you that my go-to site for learning about sample sales hadn't been updated in quite some time. Well, clearly the editors of NYMag read this blog, because they have finally updated the "Sales and Bargains" section of their website!! Coincidence? I think not! The site, which had previously been updated daily, hadn't been updated since the end of November, and I had been using poor substitutes to learn about sample sales. Happily, the real thing is back, and I'll be able to easily stay abreast of the current sales and sample sales in NYC. Welcome back NYMag's "Sales and Bargains"!
Sorry for the lame clip art, but I'm so excited, how could I not celebrate??
For today's better deal, discounts at Habana Room Cuban restaurant, in Midtown East, are on offer. Restaurant.com is selling $25 gift certificates for $15. However, if you read this post, you know you can buy those certificates at a discount. Currently, there is an 80% off promotion on Restaurant.com, so a $25 certificate would only cost $3 (just use the promo code "SPOON" at checkout). That amounts to a $23 discount (there are also options for $50, $75, and $100 certificates, priced and discounted accordingly). If you buy the $25 cert, the only restriction is that you need to have a minimum purchase of $35. Pretty reasonable.
The other discount option is through Scoop St, which is offering a $25 credit for $10. There aren't any restrictions. But I think in this instance, Restaurant.com is the clear winner.

I once worked for a man who had a missing front tooth. He was a classic - tall, dark, handsome, well educated, professional, really the total package, except for the missing tooth.
Most men in his situation would have had the tooth replaced. Back then, in the late 1980's, implants were new technology, but permanent bridges were well tested technology. He could have easily had the tooth replaced permanently, but he didn't want to have it replaced.
You see this guy was a hockey player. He wasn't a professional hockey player; he played as a hobby, but he really lived and breathed it. Of course, this is why he was missing a front tooth. It was knocked out in a hockey game. So instead of having a permanent bridge placed he wore what we call a flipper.
A flipper is a removable denture with one tooth on it. They call it a flipper because it flips in and out. You can essentially just pop it out with your tongue if you want to. This is kinda cool if you want to freak out children, or hockey opponents, which is exactly what he did. He felt the missing front tooth intimidated his opponents. I never doubted it.
The really weird thing about this situation was that this guy is a periodontist, a specialist, a dental surgeon who places implants! In writing this I started to wonder if he is still in practice, and I see on the internet that he is indeed still practicing, and is well regarded and highly rated. I wonder if he ever had that flipper replaced with a permanent prosthesis?

Campaigners have said the government must act to reduce "shameful" levels of child poverty in Scotland.
Recent data suggests that one third of children in 13 councils in Scotland are living in areas of serious poverty.
The figures showed the most deprived areas were Fife, Aberdeen, Stirling, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and the west of Scotland.
The group of campaigners, from the Campaign to End Child Poverty, have produced a map which shows the levels of poverty in every ward, council and constituency in the country.
The classifications used in the map deem a child to be living in poverty if their family's income is 60% less than the median before housing costs.
John Dickie, speaking on behalf of Scottish members of the Campaign to End Child Poverty, said: "It is shameful that in almost every part of our country there are children who are missing out and seeing their future life chances seriously harmed.
"With public spending budgets under severe pressure the need to invest to prevent the numbers of children living in poverty spiralling is greater than ever."


We are really pleased with our collection of comprehension worksheets on British wildlife. Red squirrels, grey squirrels, hedgehogs, foxes and badgers are the fascinating subjects of our first five sets. For each of these lovely animals we have 3 comprehensions; an easy one with limited information, a more detailed comprehension and a harder one with more factual information. These would be ideal for a class of children who cover a range of reading ability levels as well as providing a wealth of interesting facts.
All these animals have several things in common; not least that they are all mammals. Another similarity is the fact that they are all born blind and only develop sight after a few weeks. They are also the subject of many children's books, being great favourites with children's authors.


I had a heavy financial burden hanging over me. In one of the evening meetings last year, Pastor Chris had a 'word of knowledge' and said that this was a significant word for you here. You would look back later and recall this word. It can be life changing for you! He said there was financial blessing coming to meet your need. Reach out to Him and receive it.
In response I committed my heavy burden to the Lord that night - and (what I had not done for many years) I spoke to my money-wallet. I spoke 'life' and 'abundance' to it, with the same deep-faith like I use when I pray for the sick to recover! Also I began to give regularly into the Church Offering envelopes each week even though it did not seem to be sensible!
The year since then has been amazing financially for me. No burden since that meeting - finance came in - yet more bills - yet there was enough to meet all the expenses - yet mathematically it did not add up right!! It was like it multiplied in my account and covered everything. I continued through the year to speak life and abundance to my finances, continued to give, and the flow of provision continued - not greater in amounts but always enough to cover everything.
All my financial burden was completely paid off one month early in February 2016!! Thank you Lord.
He will meet ALL your financial needs too. Just ask Him, continue to give, and stay in faith for the provision.

Surface Forces: An Indian First
April 30, 2012: For the first time an Indian shipyard is building a warship for export. Garden Reach Shipbuilders received an order from the Maruritius for two offshore patrol vessels (OPVs). These 91 meter (283 foot) long vessels displace 1,320 tons and are based on the Garden Reach designed Kora class corvettes. Four of these larger ships are in service with the Indian navy and the last one was completed eight years ago. OPVs have fewer weapons than equivalent size warships and instead carry more gear needed for boarding and inspecting ships and dealing with search and rescue.
An example of this can be seen in OPVs built in India for local use. Three years ago the Indian Coast Guard received the second of two Advanced Offshore Patrol Vessel class ships. These 2,200 ton ships were built in India and each is 102 meters (325 feet) long and armed with a 30mm auto-cannon and several machine-guns. It can operate a small helicopter. Top speed is 43 kilometers an hour and the ship can stay at sea for 20 days at a time. The crew of 126 is trained to operate the boat in patrol mode 24/7. There are two cranes for putting two fast (inflatable) boats in the water, so that ships can be boarded and inspected. The ship is of Indian design and construction. India is developing a world class warship manufacturing capability and is currently designing and building everything from patrol boats to aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines.
