Fendi Adele S.r.l. v. PrivacyProtect.org / Liao Yani
The Complainant is Fendi Adele S.r.l. of Rome, Italy, represented by Studio Legale SIB, Italy.
The Respondent is PrivacyProtect.org of Queensland, Australia / Liao Yani of Shanghai, China.
2. The Domain Name and Registrar
The disputed domain name <fendiitalia.com> is registered with Cloud Group Limited (the "Registrar").
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on November 28, 2012. On November 28, 2012, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrar a request for registrar verification in connection with the disputed domain name. On November 28, 2021, the Registrar transmitted by email to the Center its verification response disclosing registrant and contact information for the disputed domain name which differed from the named Respondent and contact information in the Complaint. The Center sent an email communication to the Complainant on November 29, 2012 providing the registrant and contact information disclosed by the Registrar, and inviting the Complainant to submit an amendment to the Complaint. The Complainant filed an amendment to the Complaint on December 5, 2012.
The Center verified that the Complaint together with the amendment to the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy" or "UDRP"), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Supplemental Rules").
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on December 11, 2012. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was December 31, 2012. The Respondent did not submit any response. Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondent's default on January 3, 2013.
The Center appointed Alexandre Nappey as the sole panelist in this matter on January 11, 2013. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
The Complainant is an Italian company active in the business of producing, marketing and selling high-end articles of clothing and accessories. It was launched in 1925 as a fur and leather shop in Rome, but today is a multinational luxury goods brand owned by the fashion group LVMH.
The Respondent registered the disputed domain name <fendiitalia.com> on April 1, 2012.
The Complainant makes the following submissions:
The Complainant has sought to protect its rights in and to the trademark FENDI and to maintain its exclusivity therein by obtaining, worldwide, more than 800 registrations for FENDI and similar marks in more than 100 countries since 1970.
The Complainant is notably the owner of the following registered trademarks relevant with the present dispute:
- Community Trademark Registration No. 003500535 for FENDI, dating back to October 31, 2003 covering goods in class 3, 9, 14, 18, 25;
- Australian Trademark Registration No. 303035 for FENDI, dating back to December 14, 1976, covering goods in class 25.
In addition, since 1995, the Complainant has owned registrations for several domain names comprising the mark FENDI among which <fendi.com>, whereon the Complainant promotes its products bearing the trademark FENDI.
The Complainant claims that the Respondent's <fendiitalia.com> domain name is confusingly similar to the Complainant's FENDI trademark. The disputed domain name only differentiates itself from the Complainant's mark by the inclusion of the suffix ".com" and the descriptive word "Italia".
Then, the Complainant asserts that the Respondent is not affiliated in any way with the Complainant and, to their best knowledge, does not own any Chinese trademark applications or registrations for "Fendiitalia" or any similar marks in connection with any goods or services. In addition, the Complainant claims that no licence or authorization has been granted to the Respondent to use its FENDI trademark, or to apply for any domain name incorporating such mark.
Lastly, the Respondent's registration of the disputed domain name obviously confuses potential customers as to the Respondent's affiliation with the Complainant and the website operated from the disputed domain name <fendiitalia.com> offers for sale counterfeit items of clothing bearing Complainant's marks, with a clear intent for commercial gain. Therefore, the domain name has been registered and is used in bad faith.
As a matter of fact, the Complainant requests the transfer of the disputed domain name.
The Respondent did not reply to the Complainant's contentions.
Notwithstanding the default of the Respondent, it remains up to the Complainant to make out its case in accordance with paragraph 4(a) of the Policy, and to demonstrate that:
(i) The disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights; and
(ii) The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name; and
(iii) The disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
However, under paragraph 14(b) of the Rules, where a party does not comply with any provision of the Rules, the Panel "shall draw such inferences therefrom as it considers appropriate."
Having consideration to the parties' contentions, the Policy, the Rules, the Supplemental Rules and applicable substantive law, the Panel's findings on each of the above mentioned elements are the following.
The Complainant clearly has rights in the FENDI trademark. Those rights have been recognized in previous decisions under the Policy. See for instance Fendi Adele S.r.1. v. Webmaster Ops. LLC., WIPO Case No. D2007-1579.
Having established such rights, the question under paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy is whether the disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to the Complainant's trademark.
The Complainant argues that it is confusingly similar because the disputed domain name incorporates the entirety of its mark. Previous decisions under the Policy involving the entire incorporation of the Complainant's mark reached a similar conclusion: see e.g., Fendi Adele S.r.l v. He Guoqiang, WIPO Case No. D2011-1309; Fendi Adele S.r.l v. Paul Disley/Im Flying, WIPO Case No. D2006-1504; Fendi Adele S.r.l v. SpeedyWeb, WIPO Case No. D2006-1602.
This Panel reaches a similar conclusion for the disputed domain name in this case. It entirely incorporates the Complainant's mark as its first element and adds the suffix "italia". This geographical addition does little to differentiate the disputed domain name from the Complainant's mark. As the Complainant's argues, the geographical addition may serve only to emphasise the mark by indicating a geographical connection with the Complainant's business and location.
For these reasons, the Panel finds that the Complainant has established this first element of the Policy.
Paragraph 4(c) of the Policy sets out examples for a respondent to demonstrate that it has rights or legitimate interests in respect of a domain name.
"Any of the following circumstances, in particular, but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be proved based on its evaluation of all evidence presented shall demonstrate your rights or legitimate interests to the domain name for purposes of paragraph 4(a)(ii):
(i) before any notice to you of the dispute, your use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or
(ii) you (as an individual, business, or other organization) have been commonly known by the domain name, even if you have acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or
(iii) you are making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue."
The Panel is of the opinion from the available evidence on the record that there is no relationship between the Respondent and the Complainant and that the Respondent is not a licensee of the Complainant, nor has the Respondent otherwise obtained an authorization to use the Complainant's trademark under any circumstances.
As the Respondent is in default and the Complainant has established a prima facie case, the Panel is of the opinion that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name.
Consequently, the Panel considers that the condition set out by paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy has been met by the Complainant.
The mere association of the Complainant's FENDI mark and the geographic word "italia" indicates that the Respondent, when registering the disputed domain name, was perfectly aware that FENDI was a trademark belonging to an Italian high fashion house. The Panel concludes that the domain name has been registered in bad faith.
The Complainant states that the disputed domain name is being used in bad faith. The disputed domain name is pointing to a website offering trademarked goods, which the Complainant alleges as being counterfeit products.
In light of its notoriety, numerous trademark registrations of the Complainant in several countries including China and recognition of the Complainant as a leading fashion house using the trademark FENDI, the Panel agrees that the Respondent has registered the disputed domain name <fendiitalia.com> being fully aware of the Complainant's reputation. In the Panel's view, although there is not enough evidence to conclude that the products on the website are counterfeit, this Panel finds that the Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to its website by creating a likelihood confusion with the Complainant's trademarks.
The Complainant has neither granted license nor otherwise allowed the Respondent to use its trademark or to apply for or use any domain name incorporating this mark. It is highly likely that the Internet users would relate the disputed domain name <fendiitalia.com> with the Complainant's trademark FENDI on account of confusing similarity between the Complainant's trademark and the disputed domain name.
The Panel, therefore, in the facts of the present case, concludes that the disputed domain name <fendiitalia.com> is also being used in bad faith.
For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the disputed domain name <fendiitalia.com> be transferred to the Complainant.

Getting To Know Tichina Arnold
Dress by Gucci. Sandals by Steve Madden. Jewelry by Dana Campbell.

By Lisa Kennedy
When Tichina Arnold hopped on the video call, she was in a parking structure in Century City messing with a boot. No, not a DMV boot, but an orthopedic one. Social media followers of Arnold (and you are legion) know that the star—who gives such verve to Tina Butler on the hit sitcom The Neighborhood —has been recovering from foot surgery. (Her path to healing gets a nod at the start of Season 3.) "Hold on one second, one second—I'm getting the boot," she shouts to someone honking for no good reason. She waves said boot. "I never thought I'd be so excited about a goddamn boot," says Arnold, adding with a laugh, "I'm trying to get my sexy back, or at least half of my sexy back."
Arnold, 51, has spent more than 30 years working in television and film. The Queens, New York native started acting at 11 and hasn't had many lulls since. She did soaps (Ryan's Hope), sang and danced (Little Shop of Horrors), and played pivotal roles in two popular comedies that were part of the surge in Black television programming: first as Pam, Tisha Campbell's bestie on Martin, and a few years later as mom Rochelle on Chris Rock's critically appreciated Everybody Hates Chris.
Now she's bringing no small amount of smarts and sparkle opposite another comedy luminary. Cedric the Entertainer (an executive producer on The Neighborhood) portrays Calvin Butler, who's vexed—and over time kind of charmed—when small-towners Dave and Gemma Johnson (Max Greenfield and Beth Behrs) and their young son settle next door in a predominantly Black neighborhood.
The Neighborhood airs on Mondays at 8/7c on CBS and streams CBS All Access.

How long have you been in L.A. now?
I've been here since 1991. I moved here right before I did Martin and ended up staying.
To say the least. You've been doing television for nearly 30 years. What's changed for you and what's changed in television?
A lot has changed in the industry, period. Television definitely became more open, more racy, a little more real. If we did Martin now and we were able to say what we wanted to say, it would be a completely different show. Back then we had a censor, this guy named … what was his name? He used to come and count the "damns," count the "hells."

What drew you to The Neighborhood?
What attracted me initially were two things: being able to work with Cedric and, I've been on great shows, but this was a wonderful opportunity to finally be on a major network. CBS didn't have a whole lot of Black folk, so I was happy that CBS was being a lot more open to having more color on the network. That, to me, showed television was definitely changing. It's not just a Black show. You have a lot of inclusivity. So I was like, "Yeah, I want to be part of this."
It's crazy you haven't worked with Cedric before.
It's bananas. We have all the same friends.
The Neighborhood has such sweet cast chemistry. Is it as good as it seems?
Everybody is just really good. Everybody's like their characters. Creator Jim Reynolds had Tina all mapped out. But when I came and read for the role, he saw other things. So I'm appreciative of that, because Black women, we're not just one thing. We have so many facets to us. Every time I open the script, there's always something new about Tina that I learn, which is fun. Jim will ask me, "Tichina, do Black women do this?" And I'll tell him abso-frigging-lutely-not. You see her flaws, and Cedric makes sure of it.
Robe by Camilla and Marc. Jewelry by Dana Campbell.
Where do you overlap with Tina?
You know, most women, we want to keep our youth as much as we can. I knew then, when I played on Everybody Hates Chris, that once you play a mother, you will always be a mother. Goddammit. [Laughs.] OK, this is the first time I'm a mother of grown sons—one got a beard. Omigod. I just have to accept that. But it's television, and I can be whatever I want to be. I'm 51 and a lot of my friends had kids by the time they were 17. So you have a lot of Black mothers who look like they are 25 or 30, but they're 50. Snoop made a post that was hysterical. He posted this little girl, and it said something like, "Yeah, I'm really 42." Like "Black don't crack."
Did Cedric help you figure it out?
He's very hands-on. So he said, "Look I want you to be comfortable, but we're parents … You still smoking." Cedric's really good at being this amazing Black man on camera as well as off. Cedric's always been such a wonderful human being, and the show has that temperature. The show has that texture to it because he is a good leader. He is a good leading man. He's smart. He's respectful. He has a lot of empathy for people. He knows how to communicate. He never raises his voice. This show could not have come at a better time.
Could you expand on that? I can think of all kinds of reasons, but as my dad said, "You know what 'assume' spells?"
Well, a lot of negativity has been stirred up—and this negativity is nothing new. This is what we as Black people have been dealing with, and I always speak from the Black perspective because that's what I am. And I think this show created a wonderful platform to start dialogue. This show displays our differences. It happens at the table reads all the time: We'll be sitting at the table, and a Black joke will happen, and Beth and Max will go, "What?!" because everybody Black in the room laughs. But it happened with me, too. In the script someone says, "Hey, I'm going out for a froyo." I was like, "Sorry guys, what's a froyo?" The point is, whether we're White, Black, we have different ways of communicating with each other. So what I love about being on the show is that we continue communication.
The first episode of the third season addressed Black Lives Matter. Some people who love the show have said they'll stop watching. What is that?
Guess what, sometimes when the truth is told, it's uncomfortable. This is part of change. It's a natural human instinct; you don't want to be uncomfortable. But it's what we do with our being uncomfortable. I'm happy that we have a platform. We deal with real topics. This is not fantasy. I think it's wonderful we've tapped into Black Lives Matter. Just add "too" behind it. We matter, too. For me to be on a show that's on CBS, and CBS is able to say Black lives matter, that's change. And it's change for the better.
I'm grateful that I can be a part of a body of work that understands me as a Black woman in America and that actually displays me as a Black woman in America. We have a long way to go in understanding each other, and The Neighborhood really addresses that. And we do it off-camera as well. So Beth and I always talk about that. She's like, "What can I do as a White woman?" And I said the fact that you asked allows me to share my story with you. Now, I need to hear your story. What makes you uncomfortable? What do you want to learn? What do you want to know? Trust me, I ask questions. You learn till the day you die. That's what matters to me.
So, where did you get that perspective? Life? Family? You grew up in the church, and that seems to feed your understanding of the world, and you still have a compassionate way of expressing that.
That's a nice way of putting it.
No, really. You and [your sister] Zenay were on Beth's Harmonics with Beth Behrs podcast, and she said she considered herself a "lapsed Catholic." One of you said about church that we go to meet God by ourselves. Such a great insight.
I get it from my parents. Both of my parents are givers. My mother will give the shirt off her back and so will my dad. They've just always been that way, and we came up really staunch Christians. Me being in show business, I was kind of the heathen. [Laughs.]
Did you know at 11 that you were going to want to keep doing this?
I didn't know anything else. I did shows for free. I did it because I loved it. Not until I got to L.A. and I had to start paying rent did that change. I was like, "Omigod, I got to depend upon this?!" Prior to that, I was just doing what I love doing.
Dress by Zadig & Voltaire. Jewelry by Dana Campbell.
How do you protect that relationship to what you love?
Well, I've been at a point where I didn't have two nickels to rub together, and still I turned down work because I did not believe in what that piece of work was. I didn't want to wake up every day doing that.
Do you have any episodes of The Neighborhood that you loved or that you thought, I nailed that?
Now you're asking me to tap into my menopause problem—let me think. I have moments. I laugh at moments, not episodes. But I don't think I've ever said Oh, I nailed anything. I'm not interested in watching myself. The one time somebody made me watch Hope & Redemption: The Lena Baker Story [2008], we watched it in my agent's office. And I forgot that I was watching myself.
Now that was weird. It freaked me out. I said, "Wow, God gave you exactly what you wanted." I did a film with absolutely no comedy in the character whatsoever. I kept saying, I just want to do a dramatic role. I want to see if I can do it. So here I played a real woman who walked this earth, to be the first woman executed in the state of Georgia. Just reading and watching and hearing about her life. I was like, how can I do this woman justice? So after I watched the movie, I felt grateful that I was able to fool myself. Because I forgot that I was watching myself. I felt like I did it; I reached a goal.
So do you have some rules for yourself about how you engage on social media?
I do. I don't reply to people. You reply to one, you have to reply to all. I make it a point that if I am joking about something, I'm not being insensitive. It's like sending text messages: A lot of stuff could be misread. That's what happens with Twitter all the time. What I do is, I never have a cocktail and tweet. And if I know that it's really, really socially edgy, I'll ask my sister, "Should I?"
Speaking of Zenay, who's also your manager, what were you two like as little kids?
We were opposites but the same. She was a lefty. I'm a righty. But she insists on sitting on the side where our arms knock. Constant fights. I tortured her. She used to think she would go down the drain. We would take baths together, so I'd push her toward it. My parents taught us that all we have is each other. So even to this day, we are very good with separating our business relationship from our sisterhood.
So how do you get 2 million–plus Instagram followers?
That came from me trying not to lose my mind. Because I used to fight with my daughter [Alijah, age 16] every morning. By the time she was 3, we were in the car all the time and she didn't want to be in the seat. Here I am a single mom and I'd start singing. She loves dancing and I wanted her to sing. We started singing in the car. I posted: "For all you parents out there that had a hard time getting your kid up this morning, this is for you. You're not alone."
I had grandmothers hitting me, aunts hitting me, single dads hitting me. We all really do go through the same things, right?Different times, different places, different levels, different households. I never ever mind sharing my pain as long as I've learned from that pain. So now I can tell you what that pain feels like, but I can also tell you what I learned.

24 Hours With Aasif Mandvi

As told to David Hochman
What's funny about Aasif Mandvi's role on Evil is that the role isn't meant to be funny. Mandvi was a comedy guy before playing tech whiz Ben Shakir on the supernatural drama.
He made his name in theater, having won an Obie Award for his one-man show Sakina's Restaurant and playing the lead character in the Pulitzer prize–winning play Disgraced. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart put him on the map as a comedian; he went on to create and star in the Peabody Award–winning web series Halal in the Family, which logged more than 500 million media impressions within days of its announcement. With guffaws or without, Mandvi is a serious force.
Evil returns for Season 2. Catch up now on CBS All Access and Netflix.

3:30 A.M. My dreams are like vivid TV shows. I always remember the one where Barry Manilow was chasing me with a chainsaw. I'll wake up sometimes and think, "I should pitch this as a series."
6:45 A.M. My wife, Shaifali, and I welcomed our son into the world on March 14. Ishan arrived the exact moment the world locked down and everybody started quarantining inside. He wakes us up early and keeps us busy. Have we missed anything?

9 A.M. I don't really eat breakfast. I've been doing intermittent fasting for years. It's great for my metabolism and general health. So I'll have coffee to get things started and I'm fine until lunch.
10:30 A.M. We live in Manhattan. Evil shoots in Brooklyn. We're working on getting back to a normal shooting schedule. I click into that group energy and am loving playing a character like Ben, who's so different from me. He's a MacGyver type who fixes everything. My wife finds that super sexy. I'll say, "You know that's me, right?" She'll say, "Yeah, great, can you put that bassinet together?"

NOON: I'm doing a few voiceover parts for animated projects, including making a movie called Blazing Samurai, which is based on Blazing Saddles but with cats and dogs. It all works out nicely when you're stuck at home. They send over recording equipment and I do my best to talk over the crying baby in the other room.
1 P.M. I'm very fortunate that Shaifali is an amazing cook and actually enjoys cooking. We eat healthy. We stay away from fried foods and sugar, but she makes great concoctions with ground beef and eggplant. I'm Indian, so I always put spices all over everything.

2:15 P.M. After the gyms closed this year, I ordered dumb-bells and a medicine ball and one of those big bouncy balls to work out at home. We have a little backyard and a trainer comes in. We wear masks. I do pushups and lift things and sweat.
3:30 P.M. The Evil cast has a text chain. It gets pretty funny at times. We're constantly ribbing each other. I keep making fun of Kurt Fuller, who plays Dr. Boggs, by telling him that [actor] Richard Kind is going to take his part on the show.

5 P.M. I'm finding my superpowers as a father. One thing I can do is make the baby fly. Maybe all new dads do this. You put the kid on your forearm and run him around the house. He really seems to like it.
6 P.M. When you're a new parent, it's an accomplishment if you can just sit down together with your wife at the dinner table and have a coherent conversation and not have drool all over you.
7:15 P.M. A few times a week, we do Zooms with friends of ours who have kids. It's weird because we used to love to go out to places. Now you don't do that. So what we look forward to is looking at tiny windows on a screen with our friends' faces.
Aasif Mandvi holds his sleeping newborn son.
8:30 P.M. Once Ishan goes to bed, we try to have some adult time. We love watching Mindy Kaling's series Never Have I Ever. I like documentaries, including the Hillary doc and the one on Bill Gates. I love to learn about people and ideas way outside my everyday reality.
10 P.M. Meditation is really helpful when you want to shut the day off. I've been trying to stay in the moment, even with the world as crazy as it is and being sleep-deprived as a new parent. The Mindfulness App reminds me to be here, now, and not take life for granted.
11:15 P.M. We usually get a few minutes of quiet and then drift off to sleep. Honestly, the way our lives are now, you never know when you're going to hear the baby scream at some odd hour—or when Barry Manilow is going to show up looking like a killer.

It never occurred to Roxy Sternberg that she had grown up in one of the coolest cities in the world, until she moved across the pond. "When you live somewhere, you can end up taking it for granted," says the actress, who moved from London to Brooklyn in 2019 after landing the role of Agent Sheryll Barnes in FBI: Most Wanted. "I'm swept up in New York now and excited to discover places, but London is absolutely brilliant."
She's equally enamored with her on-screen character, who can go from steely undercover agent to nurturing mom without breaking a sweat. "She's so serious and a grounding force, but I love that she's also a family person." With that in mind, Sternberg reveals where she goes in London when she returns home to visit family and friends.
FBI: Most Wanted airs Tuesdays at 10/9c on CBS and streams on CBS All Access.
PICK UP SOME FISH AND CHIPS
Illustration by Sara Mulvanny.
If you walk to the top of Portobello Road, there's a street called Golborne Road, which has this amazing lunch spot called Hassan Morocco Fish. It's super popular with locals. You queue up outside and either sit to eat (they can accommodate about six people), stand, or sit on a nearby doorstep. There's a list of different fish, and they cook it while you wait. I always get the sole that comes with chips and a salad.

It's very British to go on a pub crawl, which I like to do by the River Thames. My favorite pub is The Dove in Hammersmith (where I had my first date with my partner) because you can sit outside, while inside it's got exposed bricks and wooden beams, as well as a lovely fireplace, so it feels like you're in a small cabin. There are tons of pubs in the same area, so you can also walk to The Black Lion and The Old Ship, which means you can get a bit of exercise in while eating and drinking.
DINE ALONG THE RIVER

There's a famous restaurant in Hammersmith called The River Café. It's an Italian restaurant with an amazing view, and it feels like going to a museum. If you really want to treat yourself, it's a great experience, from the staff to the food presentation. It's so delicious, and the last time I was there the actor Jack Whitehall sat near my table.
GRAB A BIKE IN THE PARK

Hyde Park is beautiful and well groomed and also home to Kensington Palace as well as the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain, which is really worth seeing. Any time of day there are people exercising and Rollerblading—it's what I imagined New York would be like before I arrived. You can rent bikes and cycle all around on certain paths, and it's amazing for people-watching, which is one of my favorite things to do.
SIP AN AFTERNOON TEA

Brits don't eat scones every day (we'd be huge if we did!), but The Wolseley by Green Park is the place to go when you want to indulge. You feel like you're in a greenhouse with the eatery's dramatic ceilings. They also have lovely little finger sandwiches and breakfast, which for me is scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.
ENJOY A PERFECT SATURDAY

My favorite area is Portobello Road because it's a mix of tourists and locals. The outdoor market is open every day but Sunday, where you can pick up everything from groceries to souvenirs. Once upon a time, Portobello Road and Notting Hill had a very strong West Indian community, so every year [except this summer, due to the pandemic] they have the Notting Hill Carnival with floats, amazing food, and steel drum music. You can end the day at the Electric Cinema, with its big leather seats.
STOCK UP ON SOUVENIRS

When people come to my house in Brooklyn, I like to offer them English cookies. So I always keep Hobnobs, as well as wine gums and other confectionary stuff, on hand. I can get it all at the duty-free in the airport. There's also a chili sauce called Lingham's Chilli Sauce that's sweet, spicy, and delicious.
HIT THE STORES

I lived in Westbourne Grove before I moved to New York, and it has brilliant shops like Sandro, Maje, and The Kooples. I'm not a big mall person. I love coming out of a shop, getting some fresh air, and then going into another shop. For an even wider variety, I head to Oxford Street, where there is the huge Selfridges department store, an enormous Topshop, an Urban Outfitters, and Nike.
SEE THE CITY FROM ON HIGH
Everyone should visit the London Eye (observation wheel) because you'll see amazing panoramic views of the city and get a real sense of where things are; you can spot everything—Greenwich, East London, and even Buckingham Palace.
Who's That Girl? Meet TV's New Batwoman, Javicia Leslie!
Photo Credit: Nino Muñoz/The CW.
By Nate Millado
"Look out, Gotham! I'm suited up and ready to go," captioned Javicia Leslie on social media, wearing Batwoman's signature cape and cowl. When Season 2 of Batwoman premieres on The CW on Sunday, Jan. 17, Leslie will be making history as the first African-American woman to portray Batwoman in a live-action production.
Here's your chance to get to know her, folks, because "Javicia Leslie" will soon be a household name!
Season 2 of Batwoman premieres Sunday, Jan. 17 at 8/7c on The CW. Stream next day free on The CW.
She's Just Like Ryan!
Javicia Leslie as Batwoman.
The CW describes Batwoman's alter ego, Ryan Wilder, as "likable, messy, a little goofy, and untamed." So is Javicia Leslie anything like her character — or a complete 180? "Oh, no. We're pretty much the same person," she tells Watch. "I wouldn't call myself the most polished person. There are times where Ryan trips in a scene and looks around to see if anyone noticed, and there are times when I trip on set. [Like Ryan,] I'm always finding the humor in things, always trying to find a way for people to see that there is a chance for hope, that there is a chance for 'the good guy' to win, you know?"
She's A Military Brat
Leslie was born in Augsburg, Germany, in 1987, into a military family. Her mom served in the Army and completed two tours in Iraq; Leslie considers her a real-life superhero. "I call her Batmom," she said at a DC FanDome panel. And because she's a military brat, Leslie says she has "so much love for our soldiers." In fact, before moving to Hollywood, Leslie worked for the government in Washington, D.C. to pay soldiers who were on "stop-loss" while in Afghanistan. "I'd pay them for the time that their contract ended to the time that they were able to come back home."
She's Out And Proud
The 33-year-old actress, who identifies as bisexual, is taking the reins of the lesbian crimefighter from Season 1 star Ruby Rose. Shortly after Javicia Leslie's casting announcement, she issued a press release saying how "extremely proud" she was to be the first Black actress to play the iconic role on TV, adding: "And as a bisexual woman, I am honored to join this groundbreaking show which has been such a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community." She's already got her predecessor's seal of approval. "I am so glad Batwoman will be played by an amazing Black woman," Ruby Rose posted on Instagram. "I want to congratulate Javicia Leslie on taking over the Bat cape. You are walking into an amazing cast and crew. I can't wait to watch Season 2; you are going to be amazing!!"
You've Seen Her Before
If you're experiencing a slight case of déjà view, it might be because you have already seen this versatile actress' work. For two seasons, Leslie played Ali on CBS' heartwarming spiritual drama God Friended Me. Or perhaps you caught her Netflix rom-com, Always a Bridesmaid, during quarantine. She's also had guest stints on CBS' MacGyver and BET's The Family Business.
Batwoman Loves Catwoman

Leslie draws inspo from the legendary Eartha Kitt — and not just because the raspy-voiced chanteuse played a feline femme fatale in the original 1966 Batman TV series. "I'm inspired by Eartha Kitt in general, not just as Catwoman, but also as an artist and an activist," she tells Watch. "She continued to speak even when women weren't 'supposed to.' I think that the world has created this idea of how women should act, and when you hear Eartha talk [in interviews], she's still regal and feminine and poised, but she broke the mold."
She's Here To Empower You
Javicia Leslie's Instagram page is a ray of sunshine on the bleakest of days! Her Insta is chock-full of empowering quotes, like this one: "Don't forget: We are going to be the ancestors our people will speak about one day ... What will be your legacy." Speaking with Good Morning LaLa Land, Leslie said: "I really want women to feel powerful; I want women to feel beautiful, confident, and I think that's a part of my purpose."
She Kicks Ass IRL
Something tells us doing her own stunts on Batwoman won't pose a problem for Javicia Leslie. That's because she's well-versed in Muay Thai, boxing and weapons, not to mention she's big on dancing, swimming and bootcamp training.
She Considers Batwoman A Blessing

Javicia Leslie admitted to Watch that it was "weird" slipping into the suit the first time. "I looked in the mirror and said, 'Wow, like this is real. I'm a superhero!'" she says. "But I also know what this moment represents." The weight of the role certainly isn't lost on her. "To know that this role represents so many people who have felt underrepresented, that has dawned on me. I don't look at it as a weight; I look at it as a blessing — so I'm really excited to be able to be a part of this story that's being told." She adds: "I have this belief that if you see it, you can be it."
Lightning Round With Javicia Leslie

We threw some random Q's at Javicia Leslie. Here are her revealing answers.
Guilty pleasure? Twix and Kit Kats
Favorite flick? Casper
Karaoke song? "Zombie" by The Cranberries
Hype song: "B**** from Da Souf" by Mulatto. "I play it right before I go on set as soon as I put on the Batwoman outfit."
Early bird or night owl? "Both! I like to stay up because that's when I can just sit down and watch TV or go out and ride my bike. But I like the daytime because I like to garden."
Life motto? "Follow your passion and you'll find your purpose."

Apologies again. Don't know if this is original or retro fitted by previous owner, but there is a lucas black box wiper control unit fitted on the inside of driver's side of central console, all wiring looks original. However!, Yet again no mention in workshop manuals and/or wiring diagrams. Anyone know if it was on the later 6a and the 6b?
I've now found where the rats have chewed through the loom and hopefully it's not too serious as most circuits are connecting true. Onwards with my increasing boxes of bits!
Its the delay unit - press the wiper on/off down and he wiper will do a intermittent wipe press down again to stop it - hold it down until the wiper is almost back where it started and you will get a single wipe. If you want rid of it fit the two plugs together and it will be bypassed.
Lucas 6DA unit - wiring diagram and info in the wiki. I think late 6a got them, all 6b/GTC and small sports.
Many thanks guys.....I'll download the 6b wiring diagrams as well and use that. Interesting how many changes were made in the last years.
The Se6/6a parts list has an updated page T10 - there are actually two later versions, T10/1 or T10/2, both of those feature the 6DA unit. Unfortunately they don't give a chassis number of introduction, but my October 78 build car doesn't have one, while the Feb 79 build car does.


Notes from Mother's Day 2012 | H.B. Charles Jr.
I am grateful to God for my wife, Crystal, the mother of my three children. We did not torture her as severely today, in honor of Mother's Day.
We had quite a few guests in worship today. Grateful.
We did Charles Jenkins' new song, "Awesome," corporately. It is a beautiful song.
Our Children's Choir sang today. It was great to have them participating on Mother's Day.
Our Men's Chorus led the special music. It is encouraging to have men lead out in praises to our God.
I sought to argue that Jesus responds to genuine faith.
I have been in pastoral ministry for over twenty years. But today was only the second time I have intentionally preached a message related to Mother's Day. The last one was about 10 years ago.
I was forced in a corner to preach a Mother's Day sermon because I preached a Father's Day sermon last year. Really.
I did not address the politically correct but spiritually foolish decision on gay marriage our president announced this past week.
Praise God for those who were saved and added to the church today.
LeBron James won his third MVP award this weekend. It was said that he would not another MVP after he joined the Miami Heat. So much for bold predictions.
The Miami Heat took game 1 of their second round series against the Indiana Pacers.
The Los Angeles Clippers made it to the second round the NBA playoffs by defeating the Memphis Grizzlies in a game 7 on the road. Did I say the Los Angeles Clippers?
There was supposed a rematch of Lamont Peterson's controversial victory over Amir Khan Saturday night. But Peterson's failed drugged test put an end to that. It is sad news for Peterson, and another black eye for the sport of boxing.
The Player's Championship golf tournament took place this weekend here in Jacksonville. That's all I know about it.
If you haven't seen The Avengers yet, what are you waiting for? The Hulk steals the show!


Maine is one of the more heavily forested and undeveloped states in the country. This means Maine is home to a great number of large undeveloped parcels of land. One common question of landowners is, what is required when it is time to split that land up between multiple owners?
Nonconformity is an issue that has come up quite a bit in my time practicing land use law in Maine. It is also a concept that commonly leads to a lot of confusion. Nonconformity refers to a condition on property that does not comply with the land use regulations in place. Nonconformity is important because, generally, nonconforming conditions are allowed to continue after an ordinance is enacted rendering the use, lot, or structuring nonconforming. This is commonly referred to as "grandfathering".
If you live in Maine you know it is a state with massive amounts of undeveloped, forested, or otherwise wild space. Often this type of land has been held in a family for several generations. The property tax burden of sitting on open land can continue to grow as municipalities require more revenue. If the burden of continuing to hold undeveloped land gets excessive, landowners are encouraged to either develop the land or sell it to someone who will. Maine has a tax program that allows landowners to designate undeveloped land and receive a reduction in property taxes. While this program is not for everyone, it definitely can provide tax relief to people who wish to keep their land undeveloped.
If you are thinking of making a change to how you are using a piece of real estate, you need to ask yourself, "do I need a permit for this change?" Whether it's building a home or accessory structure, converting a home to business use, or dividing a larger lot into multiple lots, you will likely need one or more permits from some governmental entity. The tricky question that you need to answer, which permits do you need?
So your family has been holding on to a small, vacant piece of real estate for decades. You never really got around to building anything on it and have decided now is the time to develop. Surprise, your lot is smaller than your town's minimum lot size for single family homes. Further, even a small house would be in violation of the town's setback requirements. Are you completely out of luck and stuck with a useless piece of property? Not necessarily. Some lots will be eligible for variances, which will relax zoning requirements in some circumstances.
Land use is frequently a challenging and complicated area when new housing developments arise. New land uses often leave municipal and state regulators unsure of how to regulate. For example, some cities were initially unsure how to handle the rise of short term rentals through Air BNB, leading to new regulations. Alternatively, the growing number of people looking to operate food trucks has also led to regulatory adaptation. The tiny house movement is another such development that currently needs attention.
Now that spring is here, it is time to start preparing your family camp for summer. This may lead you to get the urge to clear out some vegetation around your property. Maybe you have some trees that you think may be dying or safety hazards and you believe it's about time to bring them down. This is not something you should do without being sure whether you need a permit. In many cases, even dead and dying trees need to be replanted and a Code Enforcement Officer should be consulted. Further, unpermitted cutting of vegetation on waterfront property can lead to civil penalties and expensive replanting projects.
Can you rely on zoning to protect your real estate investment?
Since 1926 when the U.S. Supreme Court held that local governments had valid interests to enact zoning regulations, zoning has been a central part of land use regulation by municipalities. Zoning ordinances have provided governments with the tools to manage the growth and development of their communities.
You have just moved into your dream house in what you believe to be the perfect community. Everything is great for a while. A few years later you receive a notice about a development being proposed in your community. Maybe it's just a project that you think will greatly impact your life in the community. Maybe it's a proposal to build a strip mall next to your home. Now you have a choice to make. Do you just sit back and hope the town planning board does, what you think is, the right thing? Do you chain yourself to a tree? Do you try to stop or, at least, alter the project by getting involved in the approval process? I would suggest that getting involved is your best bet.
"It's my property, I can do what I want" is a common statement made by some landowners. With the increase in land use regulation and zoning, it has increasingly become a falsehood. Land use regulations greatly impact how real property is used and can often prohibit seemingly harmless actions. For example, some Portland landowners are facing enforcement actions for renting out their property on Airbnb.com.

...dark grow the pinewoods, dark and drear; The woods that bring the sunset near.
The pinewoods bring the sunset near."
I hope you have enjoyed our walk through the woods! I have mentioned that I do not "do" Halloween, but it did seem like the perfect opportunity to use this old house as a backdrop for a table. This was a guesthouse and sat behind my grandparent's house until it was torn down to make way for a more modern house.
My great grandmother lived there alone until they built an apartment in the new house for her. Let's take a look inside...I had never realized how I love the shade of blue in here. Obviously, it is in a very bad shape and would require a lot of work to renovate. It is filled with doors, windows and trim from the old house.
I will be participating in "Tablescape Thursday" at "Between Naps on the Porch" so please go by and say "Hi" to Susan!!
Also, do not forget to enter my giveaway HERE for a 42-piece set of Mikasa "Italian Countryside" flatware!
Thank you so much for stopping by! I have been very behind this week so if I have not gotten by to visit you, I will be there soon, I promise!! I love getting around to see what wonderful things you are all doing.
Anita~ This is by far my favorite blog post - ever! I really enjoyed my walk through the woods! You are so blessed to live in such a beautiful area! Thank you for taking the time to create such a gorgeous tablescape in an absolutely breathtaking setting!
What beautiful pictures! I love the house. Hopes its never torn down.
I thought the black and white photos were great, then to see the amazing color of your table topper-wow just perfect!
I have a passion for old houses! I would love to own such a house and fix it up as a real guest house or woodsy retreat. I love that old iron bed, too!! This was one of my favorite tables that you have done because I'm nuts about the location.
What a fantastic setting Anita and a beautiful table. Fun old backdrop the interior looks to have been right in line with all the rage now. That gorgeous turquoise wall, iron bed, and white. Just lovely!
Anita...have I told you HOW much I love old houses! What an interesting and beautiful old house and you've made a fabulous post featuring it.
Wow! Anita that was complete gorgeousness with just the hint of spooky added to it! That splash of red from the overlay cloth was absolute perfection against the backdrop of the house and woods! Thank you for sharing this with us!
A similar shade of blue was on a a few walls of a small house that was adjacent to our property- we recently purchased the lot- we did tear the house down- no sentimental value, etc-I did save a scrap with that blue color on it though.
Anita, very ethereal! I like the way you juxtaposed the elegant tablescape against the decay of the wonderful old house. And those fish scale shingles are great! I agree about the carpentry work of years gone by, though I have a carpenter who might be able to compete in terms of his work ethic.
Thanks for sharing your pictures with us and this bit of family history as well. Was this home in NC or FL? When you said "Sea" in the poem, I was thinking it might be Florida. AND did you write the verse? Very nice!
i'm sure the effort to set up this wonderful juxtaposition of elegant and timeworn was no small feat, but you created a memorable, beautifully photographed and captivating post!
Anita,this post scaried me just alittle!
Beautiful,but kinda spooky too.And the playlist made me scroll oh so slowly,as if we were lurkn'.
Anita,wonderful tablescape so elegant I love the old house I can't way for you to fix it up as a real quest house, the old iron bed to.
Happy fall!!!! "God bless you".
Oh my! Anita, you are AMAZING!!!! This is beyond words!!!! I just the platinum! Thanks for stopping by!!! YOU RULE!!!!!!!
Anita! You are amazing! I love this post so much, thank you for going to all the trouble to make it happen. Spooky, lovely, nostalgic - perfection.
The black and white photography is stunning! The setting with the house and table with the table linens blowing in the breeze is haunting, yet so beautiful! These pictures rival any I've ever seen done professionally in a magazine. Thank you for taking the trouble to style such a beautiful photo shoot.
What a capital idea! This is stunning! Fabulous ambiance!!! You hit a homerun AGAIN!!!
What great spooky shots! I love them!
What a hauntingly beautiful setting! I love the old house, the black and white photos, the 'story', the beautiful table and silverware, and the treasures, old wood, aqua colours ~ all of it! Beautiful job!
Anita - How artistic! I love the shadows you got on those photos. Just stunning.
Great post and pics Anita. What a treasure trove of vintage goods in there. Great stuff to use or sell. That stuff is always in the flea markets and you have your own stash.
Oh that was spooky! Beautiful china!
Dear Anita, Awesome post! Such neat pictures. Spooooooky.
Grins. Very artistic. Liked this a lot.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting on my post about thyroid health. Appreciate the prayers. Thank you!!!!
Hello Anita... Wow what an amazing post!! Your photos are amazing, so beautiful, moody & etherial !! The houses are both beautiful! I hate seeing old architecture torn down.
Anita that was fabulous! I love how you brought the poem to life! Your tablescape is lovely. The black and white photos were hauntingly perfect for this time of year. LOL! But I am totally captivated by that little house. I know it would take a lot to restore it but I would be itching to do so! I love the bay window in the front and the fact that it is tucked away in the woods. Beautiful bed inside too! What a treasure you have there!
I love the contrast between the old tattered guest house and your lovely table. Your trip through the woods was a great treat. Thanks so much for sharing.
Loved the walk thru the woods leading to the charming old house!!!! What a great atmosphere for dining too...beautiful!
What a beautiful post...I enjoyed the wonderful photography in black and white. The elegant table settting is a perfect counterpoint to the outdoor setting!
That is sooo cool!! ditto all the above comments!!!
Anita, you are truly an artiste! Gorgeous photos! And that silver -- stunning!
How spooky and yet elegant, as always. I loved seeing the details of the old house. So special! Have a wonderful weekend.
What a cool house. Sort of reminds me of the house from the Wizard of Oz. Like it dropped out of the sky and was deposited there. I like that photo of the blue walls and creamy white woodwork. Beautiful photos.
Last Day for the Mikasa giveaway!!!
Mikasa "Italian Countryside" flatware giveaway!

Being limited to sending Group Voicemails to an email only, should be updated to allow for sending Group Voicemails to Multiple extensions. Some users may not have access to email when in remote locations such as mines.
Thanks for submitting this feature request!
This would be extremely valuable to us so we can inform employees. Especially during weather and contingencies.
Yes how can we set call queue voicemails to be sent to multiple extensions?
If you would like to have voicemails sent to multiple people, currently the only way is to have multiple email addresses listed in the notification settings for the queue. Go to the queue and select "Messages & Notifications", then select "Notification"s at the bottom of the list. There you can input up to 240 characters of email addresses separated by semicolons.
There's some more information on this feature on the page Editing a User's Messages & Notifications Settings through the RingCentral Online account.
is it possible to have the voicemail sent to the user's mailbox instead of being emailed to them?
They system already does this. As a User, just click Messages > Inbox and you'll see the playback icon shown below.
i'm not sure i set it up correctly then. i created a message only extension and added email addresses as message notfications. what i would like to do is leave one voicemail to multiple extensions simultaneously.
This is not something the accounts can do currently, you can only select one recipient for voicemail on each extension. The only way around this would be inputting multiple addresses in the email notification option or providing multiple people the login information for an extension.
There is a bit more information on Messages & Notifications settings on our Messages & Notifications Overview page.
If the feature to send a voicemail to multiple extensions would be valuable to you, you can vote for this idea by clicking the "♡ vote" button in the top of this page.
I am surprised that multiple desktop phones (and voicemail boxes) can't be notified of a message waiting in a general mailbox or a message only extension. I need all my staff to see when their is a message waiting in mailbox that anyone can take care of.
yes being able to send to multiple emails is great, but having them physically visible at multiple phones would be great.
Group Mailboxes has always been a feature from physical PBX systems like Avaya IP Office. The Desktop phones can display messages waiting indicators from multiple users that are apart of these groups. This simple feature is a show stopper for alot of businesses coming from Avaya or Nortel systems.
Ring central please add this feature!
Having a way for everyone in the call group to access the voicemails and "claim" them would be very helpful. Basically, tell the other team memebers "I got this". This would also be great if extended to txt support to work the same way for incoming txt's that can be claimed.
This would be a very useful feature for us. For example, we have multiple agents who handle order inquiry requests. Ideally, these agents would be able to log in to a shared voicemail box so we know who is handling what call. Definitely an upvote from us on this feature!
Can't believe this has not been incorporated yet. As another user indicated, the is a show stopping feature for enterprises coming over from just about any other major phone provider. I personally regret implementing RC on account of this alone, everything else being just fine. Please consider this for the roadmap in the very near feature.
Agree fully with other users, this is something that would not only be useful but really surprised that Ring Central can't already do, as it seems such a basic and essential feature which is missing. Might need to look around to find another service which does offer this.
Good instinct Chris. You can add up to 240 characters of email addresses, separated by semicolons, to the notification settings.
But as I understand it, this is just for the notification. The actual voicemail isn't emailed in the notification email- so you would still need to log in. Is that still the case? I need either to have a Voicemail go to multiple extensions, OR, have it go to one email that includes the actual content of the message in wav or mp3 form. Is there really no way to do this?
thats the way it looks to me as well, the notice of a voicemail will be send to multiple people but the actual message is only at 1 place. hopefully someone can straighten this out for us.
If you do not have HIPAA enabled on your account, you can specify to have the attached voicemail sent in the email.
Make sure to check the box above - this will include the attached voicemail in the email to your multiple recipients.
Not only do we need to have multiple extensions have access to a group mailbox, we need to have notification appear on the phone itself. This is a PHONE SYSTEM, not an email system. In addition to this feature on Nortel and Avaya, it was also readily available on Inter-tel/MiTel. I'm shocked I can't have that feature on what is supposed to be a business class system. It's clearly not there yet, as it can't even stand up to decades old systems.
Totally Agree, this is not an email system. To simply say check an email address is not acceptable. Many business that I see still use the phone as major communication tool, and in 2018 I just assume a Cloud based system can do everything an on premise system can do and more!
This is critically important for our business. I have up-voted. Please implement this ASAP. I cannot believe all my agents cannot share/retrieve messages from a main call line VM box from their RingCentral phone Apps.
Can a board mod combine this with the other recent thread from this morning i believe these are asking for the same thing, and combine the votes so we can keep an accurate tally. Hopefully more people will also see this thread and comment and vote because having the message appear at multiple phones is available now on old school PBXs it should be here as well.
Chris can you link the post here. Can't seem to find the thread you are referencing. thanks!
Can't believe that this has been a request for 3 years and hasn't been implemented yet! This is a basic must have feature for companies with shared voicemail boxes!
I agree with James above. I am setting up a new RingCentral account and just got bit by this. It doesn't make any sense that you can't do this somehow.
Only thing I've been able to do to mitigate this issue (and that's the best I can say - mitigate), is to set up multiple email accounts to receive the message. It still doesn't get the message in everyone's message queue on the phone or in the Ring Central App, but at least they get an email.
That is what we do, but on Apple Mail the attachment doesn't work and the text is jumbled pretty bad so it's about worthless.
I cannot fathom why this is still an issue after 3 years! I'm new to RC and am extremely frustrated by the lack of this very basic feature.
Yep, 3 years later, still waiting on this. The lack of company response is supremely frustrating and one of the reasons I'm thinking of moving to a different provider.
Totally look at all these people who want it done.
Not at this time, Jeff. Our Product Team is working on a face lift for Call Queues for next year. I have shared this request with them. If they ever decide to put it on the roadmap I'll be sure to update this thread. But as it stands now, there are no plans for this request in the near future.
Just not an important-enough feature?
The implementation process of any feature is complicated. You can learn more about it here.
RingCentral have a pretty good product but the technical support is poor and product requests have sat here for years with no implementation.

ASD Transport is one of the South East's leading coach and bus companies, operating from a large facility situated in Medway, Kent.
The coach and bus storage area required resurfacing and upgrading. We worked closely with the Management Team of this multi-generational family run business and agreed that the following works would be required to facilitate the upgrade: Block Paving, Kerbing, Concrete Works, Tarmac Works, Foul Drainage, Street Furniture, Surface Drainage, Interceptor Installation to EA Specification, Security Fencing, Brick Walls, Associated Metalwork and a 12m Powered Access Gate with associated control package.
The finished project resulted in over 1000m2 of block paved parking area, over 100m2 of wash down area with associated surface drainage and the installation of new foul drainage for new toilet facilities. The site was also secured with perimeter security fencing and double skinned brick walls. To the front of the site we installed a new tarmac frontage with no parking bollards and reinforced concrete crossing points for the on-site VOSA testing station.
At the pre-Construction phase we worked closely with the client to ensure that the correct budget for the scheme was built efficiently and promptly. We also carried out some design works to allow the client to move forward quickly with the project and were principle contractor for the project.
Once the design works were complete we mobilised promptly and delivered the project on time and to budget. The site was kept fully operational during our works and the client was particularly happy with the works.
This project serves as a great example of our collaborative approach to pre-construction and design activities which allow for a prompt start on site. It highlights our ability to work within the confines of busy operational spaces and yet still retain our approach to quality, health and safety and timescales.
We wish ASD many more years of successful business from this site and look forward to the opportunity of working with them again in the future on further projects.

Steering a Foundation as Rich as Rockefeller
Judith Rodin, President of the Rockefeller Foundation on social problem solving and corporate giving.
By Melanie Grayce West
A century after John D. Rockefeller made his first grant to the American Red Cross, the Rockefeller Foundation has become the standard-bearer of the philanthropic world, and a model for younger, smaller foundations.
As it heads into its second century, Rockefeller, which holds $3.5 billion in assets and awards grants to nonprofit organizations, is focusing on international projects, including support for universal health coverage and crop insurance for farmers in Africa. At the same time, it seeks to go beyond the super-wealthy and involve more regular people in philanthropic decisions.

There are various financing routes available for Acme to invest in its expansion plans in India.
