The legal team at Accident Attorneys has a proven track record of success in taking on large manufacturers whose negligence has caused injury or death to the consumer, and we are ready to take action on your case.
Our Antelope Valley personal injury attorneys were among the few nominees for the 2011 Consumer Attorneys of California Trial Lawyer of the Year award. This recognition was based on the fact that we assisted a family in recovering a substantial settlement in compensation for the tragic death of their 22-month-old boy who had been trapped and suffocated by the lid on a toy chest. In addition to helping our clients, we were also successful in bringing about a voluntary recall of the dangerous product, thereby removing the hazardous toy chest from the market and protecting other children from suffering similar accidents.
Defective product claims are based on evidence that the plaintiff's injury was the result of defects that make the product unsafe to use under the normal intended circumstances. The case may involve a single isolated defect occurring only in the item that caused the plaintiff's injury, or it may be a defect that is found throughout the entire product line. In either case, you should not be forced to pay the price for the manufacturer's negligence.
If you have been hurt or lost a loved one in an accident that you believe was caused by inherent design flaws or defects in a product, we may be able to help you pursue financial compensation for your losses. From medical bills to lost wages, we fight for full and fair financial recovery.
If your accident could have been prevented through better research and development, stricter quality control, or better labeling and warning, we want to hear from you.
Find out whether you have grounds to file a product liability claim by contacting us now for a free case evaluation!
We serve injured consumers in Lancaster, Palmdale, and communities throughout the Antelope Valley.

One venue for discussion of various topics today is an online forum. A forum is a site where you can have conversations with other people. The conversations are posted as messages, that is why online forums are sometimes called message boards.
There are tons of online forums all over the Internet for various topics. One of the most visited sites in Singapore is SGTalk.org which focuses on finance and business. Like most forums, you can find other discussions as well like lifestyle and hobbies.
When you're a newbie, take note of the written and unwritten rules. The written rules can be seen in terms and services, guidelines or are posted rules found at the top of the threads (topics). Unwritten rules make up the forum etiquette that must be observed if you don't want to stand out. Even when you're anonymous or you assume a different identity online, practicing some good posting habits will keep you away from trouble. Here are some of them.
Look at the stickies and threads. Stickies usually post rules. It will also help you avoid posting popular topics like those found in frequently asked questions (FAQS). Some common discussions are also stickied so you don't have to look for them.
Avoid spamming and always stay on topic. Read the previous replies if you need to make sure that your intended post isn't covered. Post in appropriate threads. Do not post unrelated questions or answers because that will create confusion or start fights.
Avoid controversial topics. Unless the forum is intended for such purposes, there is no need to aggravate people by starting offensive discussions. This includes posting pictures or links about violence, racism, religion, politics and crimes. Do not post this in a general topics forum site. There are usually sub-forums for these.
Keep private conversations private. There is an option for sending private messages if you need to talk about other things with your online friends. Other people do not need to know what you are talking about unless it's related to a discussion everyone can share with.
Help by reporting the troublemakers. Most forums have moderators. Help them with their jobs by reporting spammers and offensive posts. This will help keep the forums clean and attractive for the old forum regulars and the newbies.
Don't use large pictures and unreadable fonts. There are rules for creating a signature at the end of your every post. There are also rules for pictures you're allowed to post. If you want to be understood by everyone, keep your post style simple and readable. If possible, use proper grammar and spelling. Shortening words are fine but remember that in online forums, there might be users who do not speak your language well.
Be nice to the new and old users. The newbies will help keep the forum community alive. Do not frighten or ignore them. Answer questions civilly if they need help. Treat them as you would treat an online friend you have known for a long time.

Rebuilding lives after Cyclone Idai
Tuesday 30 April 2019 Tuesday 30 April 2019 by Nick Finney
It's been a month since Cyclone Idai wreaked havoc across central Mozambique.
I visited Dombe in Manica, one of the most affected provinces, to get a closer look at how our hard-working teams are helping people rebuild their lives.
Travelling along the dirt roads the effects of Cyclone Idai are clear. As far as the eye can see the low-lying land has been covered by the floodwater in mud and debris. The crops are all destroyed and nothing can be salvaged, including important staples like maize.
But, along with other humanitarian organisations, we're distributing food for the next few months, and we're also providing seeds and tools within the narrow window for planting.
This should produce some food by October which will help restart the local economy. However, it's a poor area and a lot more support is needed if everyone is to get enough to eat over the rest of the year.
Dotted along the roadside are camps where people have settled after they escaped the floodwaters that took homes, possessions and sometimes loved ones. It's a forlorn sight. Families must still be in shock about what happened, and uncertain about the future.
In the meantime, we've provided tents and tarpaulins, and have been erecting latrines, to keep these families sheltered and safe.
Camps by the roadside in Dombe, Manica
I also visited a school, and saw how their staff were hard at work to clear up the mess and get the school re-opened. A lot of people used the school as a shelter after the flood. Desks and other equipment are damaged and need replacing.
And then I heard a story that broke my heart.
Ten students drowned as floodwater engulfed their houses. Eventually their bodies were found, but a proper burial was not possible. I can only imagine how the staff and students are coping with this loss.
I was also told of another twelve children who were missing. But, incredibly, they were rescued!
The kids ended up in a different camp across the other side of the floodplain. Soon they will return to their families, who must have been worried sick for the past month. They'll get home eventually – but with roads and bridges washed away, it might take time for them to return to their families safely.
At the next village I saw the life-saving work of our Emergency Health Unit (EHU)
They were operating two mobile clinics — providing medical consultations at a different place every day, returning again after a week for follow up.
The tent was packed with pregnant women and mums with newborns. Many queued to see the doctor. Some were diagnosed with malaria, respiratory tract infections and diarrhea. Serious cases were sent to the nearest hospital for treatment.
Without the EHU, they would have had to walk for miles to receive the assistance they urgently needed.
Save the Children's mobile clinic in action
I also saw one of our child-friendly spaces, which Save the Children sets up immediately after a disaster strikes. These spaces help children feel like life is getting back to normal, and offer them with protection and psychological support.
With schools yet to reopen, the space is busy and alive with the high energy you would find in any playground. Children of all age groups congregate. There's a football match, a volleyball game, some skipping, and also learning activities inside the tent for pre-school age children.
Under the tree in the corner there's a consultation underway with some of the older kids to get their views on what kind of facilities could be provided.
I am in awe of what our teams have accomplished in Dombe in just a little over a month. Although I'm concerned it would take a long time to rebuild not just homes and livelihoods but also lives from the devastation. A huge amount of support is needed in the year to come.
But my colleagues and I will continue to try to find the resources required and push hard to meet people's immediate needs. And when communities begin to embark on the road to long-term recovery, we'll remain at their service.

GOP chairman calls infrastructure meeting as Trump plan remains on hold - Restore T.R.U.S.T.
The chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has scheduled a meeting on infrastructure as President Trump's rebuilding plan has been put on ice.
Rep. Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) invited Republican members on the committee to an infrastructure meeting on Friday, according to a source familiar with the meeting. Lawmakers were asked to bring their ideas and priorities, which could be used to start putting together a potential rebuilding package.


Do you remember when I came upon the most holy of H&M's I've ever seen in my life?
This outfit consists of some of the items I was gifted on that blessed day.
Ryan, Evan, & I walked in about 5 minutes late and we were most definitely being stared at.
I don't know what it is with some Utah people...but they stare.
Maybe because there is not much diversity here?
Maybe they are bewildered and stunned by what they are seeing?
Maybe it still puzzles me because California people are too busy with their own lives to stare.
Suffice it to say, I'm used to the staring after 3 years here.
It happens mostly cause I don't fit any of the "Utah girl" stereotypes.
ok ok, maybe it was all of that combined which elicited the stare downs.
I didn't care much though.
Because I sat down, listened to the talks about our Savior, and soaked in all the beautiful music.
We even sang "I Know My Redeemer Lives" at the end of Sacrament meeting, my favorite song.
At the end of Sacrament meeting, we got up to walk out when the people who were sitting in front of us stood up, took a long hard stare, then continued on with their Sunday.
How did all of your Easter Sundays go?
I bet they stared cuz your outfit's rawkin!!
LOL I laughed at your comment about the big mexican guy dressed like an LA gangster, so funny!
Diggin' that skirt with the coral top! Very chic.
Haha so funny! Your outfit is adorable, I'm sure they were staring because they wish they looked that awesome too!
Oh I am just glad that you brought some light to their lives :) pretty outfit.
loving this outfit together! Sooo I don't know if I have told you... but I just LOVE your hair color!
i love love love your outfit! sooo cute!
Hey! I found your blog from Ly. I love your Easter outfit. Super cute.
SUCH a cute outfit! You do color so well, lady! Thanks for your super sweet comment on my blog. Yours is insanely cute and I'm so glad I found it! off to follow you on bloglovin' now! Yay for new blogging friends!
Just found your blog, I think a. you are adorable, b. i LOVE your outfit, c. maybe it's my computer but I see you more as a redhead??

Your new home will be situated in a place full of a history, and at the same time provides you with the modern conveniences and opportunities of places to eat, go out or shop.
Why Do I Need Seaview Estates Renters Insurance If I Don't Own Anything?
You'd be amazed how quickly your belongings add up. At the actual cost to replace them, you'll quickly discover thousands of dollars of things you forgot you even had. But ultimately, Seaview Estates renters insurance is required because of the liability protection it provides. It just so happens that a renters insurance policy comes with protection for your personal property as part of the policy, because that's the way the standard HO-4 policy form reads. This makes sense, in the context that it's derived from the HO-3, or homeowners policy form with the dwelling coverage removed.
Can I Afford Seaview Estates Renters Insurance?
Nearly every family can budget renters insurance. The average cost of Seaview Estates renters insurance is just $15.00 a month. That's about fifty cents a day. You can't even buy a cup of coffee for fifty cents a day in NYC – or anywhere else, for that matter. People who still use cash often just save their change for the month and use that to pay the renters insurance bill when the time comes. It's inexpensive, and it provides broad protection that your family deserves.
How Does Seaview Estates Renters Insurance Protect Me?
Your personal property is protected against things that could cause loss or damage. The specific things protected against are enumerated in the policy document as "covered perils." That list is very broad and contemplated most of the worst case scenarios that could apply to your things.
Liability coverage protects you when you owe someone money (damages) because you hurt them or damaged their property. Note that the specific injury covered is "bodily injury." There is also a "personal injury" endorsement that covers things like libel and slander. Many people choose not to take the personal injury endorsement, but the coverage is worth having. Those suits can be expensive if one is brought, and just like any other kind of liability claim, the policy would provide a defense against it.
There are many other ways that you can be protected by your policy, and your Seaview Estates renters insurance expert can help you to flesh out which types of coverage are most important to you and how the policy can best be customized to fit your particular risk profile. It's quick and easy – just call (800)892-4308 or click to get covered - whether you need Staten Island, NY renters insurance quotes online or coverage anywhere else!

A CM16 Raider 2.0 carbine rifle replica by G&G made as a part of the Combat Machine project whose aim is to deliver high-quality replicas at a price that may be considered economical. Combat Machine replicas are characteristic for their highest, distinctive of G&G products, craftsmanship, reliability and high quality of materials used. The main factor that allows to reduce the price is the use of a high-quality glass fiber reinforced polymer instead of metal.
Polymer parts include: the receiver, pistol grip, M-Lok rail, stock and muzzle device. Metal parts, on the other hand, include: the external barrel, stock slide, latches and majority of small elements.
The replica is perfect for operating on a medium range with a muzzle velocity of ~ FPS. The implemented top RIS rail allows for the attachment of any optical sight, whereas a telescopic stock, which holds the battery, allows for adjustment of the replica to the preferences of an individual User. The set includes a kit of flip-up iron sights.


Climate change is happening. There is no real disagreement.
There are risks to climate change, including extreme events, albeit less likely.
Acting sooner is better and cheaper.
Like I opened this blog, the report begins by stating that the global scientific community agrees — climate change is real and humans are the cause. The report lists many of the common indicators: shrinking sea ice, ice sheets, and glaciers; ocean acidification; sea-level rise; etc.
This report is slightly different in that it discusses climate change in terms of risks. There is a real chance, however small, that your house will burn down. Even though it's unlikely, you are still wise to buy insurance, have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, and make a plan of escape. Then, by looking at the potential bad outcomes, what responses need to be made to avoid them. From what I've read, the upcoming IPCC report also talks in terms of risks and probabilities.
One quibble of mine is that the report dabbles a bit too much with the "sky is falling" rhetoric. Topics at the high-end of impact such as ecosystem collapse, destabilized sea-floor methane, or permafrost melt are certainly possible, but probably better left to Hollywood blockbusters. Focusing on these extremes will lead to the same problem Chicken Little had … people stop listening.

SMPTE to Host Webcast on SMPTE ST 2110 Suite of Standards for Professional Media Over IP Networks
By Wall Street Communications 15 June 2017
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- June 15, 2017 -- SMPTE(R), the organization whose standards work has supported a century of advances in entertainment technology, today announced that it will host a free webcast -- open to the public -- explaining the basics of the new SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards for professional media over IP (internet protocol) networks. Scheduled for June 22 at 1 p.m. EDT, the "SMPTE ST 2110 -- Professional Media over IP Networks" webcast will be hosted by John Mailhot, SMPTE Fellow and systems architect for IP convergence at Imagine Communications.
"With its potential to enable a better, more flexible, more efficient, and more creative broadcasting industry, SMPTE ST 2110 represents a seismic shift in how media can be handled, processed, and transmitted," said SMPTE President Matthew Goldman. "The topic has attracted a lot of attention; visitors to the 2017 NAB Show were blocking the aisles to see the IP Showcase, where more than 40 manufacturers utilized the final draft suite of standards to connect their systems. During this webcast, John will offer a closer -- and more convenient -- look at the new SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards and how they will affect our industry."
The SMPTE Standards Community has been working diligently to complete and publish the SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards, which allow for separate routing of video, audio, and ANC data flows over professional IP networks in real-time to support broadcast production and playout applications. The June 22 free webcast will cover the basics of the SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards; describe how video, audio, and data signals are switched and routed; and explain how the proposed timing model allows users to keep all the parts correctly time-aligned.
Several of the SMPTE ST 2110 standards documents are nearing completion, and publication via the IEEE Xplore(R) Digital Library is tentatively slated for later this year.
This free SMPTE webcast is part of the Society's Standards Webcast series, offering live, interactive, educational webcasts. Registration for this free SMPTE Standards Webcast, along with other upcoming webcasts, is available online at www.smpte.org/webcasts.
Further information about SMPTE and its standards work is available at www.smpte.org.
About SMPTE(R)
For more than a century, the people of SMPTE (pronounced "simp-tee") have sorted out the details of many significant advances in media and entertainment technology, from the introduction of "talkies" and color television to HD and UHD (4K, 8K) TV. Since its founding in 1916, SMPTE has received an Oscar(R) and multiple Emmy(R) Awards for its work in advancing moving-imagery engineering across the industry. SMPTE has developed thousands of standards, recommended practices, and engineering guidelines, more than 800 of which are currently in force today. SMPTE Time Code(TM) and the ubiquitous SMPTE Color Bars(TM) are just two examples of SMPTE's notable work. As it enters its second century, SMPTE is shaping the next generation of standards and providing education for the industry to ensure interoperability as the industry evolves further into IT- and IP-based workflows.

Manuel Ycaza is a retired United States Racing Hall of Fame jockey who led the way for Latin American jockeys in the United States.
The son of a bus driver, Deycaza began riding ponies at age six and by age fourteen was riding professionally in Panama. He went on to race in Mexico City before emigrating to the United States in 1956. Within a few years "Manny Ycaza" was winning major races at tracks all over the country. However, the hard-riding, fiery-tempered Ycaza was frequently in trouble with racing officials and despite his unquestioned ability, after major suspensions many owners and trainers were reluctant to hire him. However, stable owner Harry F. Guggenheim took a chance on Ycaza, hiring him for the 1959 racing season. Guggenheim's Cain Hoy Stable was one of the major Thoroughbred racing operations in the U.S. and Ycaza's ten-year affiliation with them saw him become one of the country's top jockeys and be voted the 1964 George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award by his peers.
An icon in his country of birth, Manuel Ycaza's success inspired other diminutive Panamanian youngsters to pursue a career as a jockey. In 1962, Sports Illustrated magazine published an article about the "Spanish invasion" of American Thoroughbred horse racing led by Ycaza.
In 1962, Manuel Ycaza married Linda Bement, Miss USA and Miss Universe of 1960. The couple had two children before they divorced in November 1969.

Sherrod Brown takes on Donald Trump and 'Rust Belt' labels in Democratic convention speech

Hillary Clinton,Sherrod Brown
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is introduced by Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio during a rally last week at the University of Cincinnati Dieterle Vocal Arts Center.
(Andrew Harnik, The Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA - Sen. Sherrod Brown did all the things expected of a running mate.
He ripped into Donald Trump with glee and gusto. He sent a clear message to his liberal wing of the party that Hillary Clinton was one of them. He did it all in prime time.
But it was Tim Kaine, the Ohioan's Senate colleague from Virginia, who accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president this week. Brown instead used his prominent speaking slot Thursday to demonstrate what a valuable voice he can be for Clinton in blue-collar communities where Trump hopes to peel away votes in the general election.
"Donald Trump thinks people in states like mine will choose his counterfeit campaign over the genuine solutions we're fighting for tonight," Brown said. "He is wrong."
Brown added that Trump, a New York real estate mogul, "looks at towns in the middle of America and sees a 'Rust Belt' of decay. We reject the term 'Rust Belt.' Hillary, my friend Tim Kaine and I see vibrant and innovative communities throughout the industrial heartland."
For those who have followed Brown's career closely, his plea to ditch what he views as a pejorative label is consistent with his image as a populist fighter. He drafted the speech with the help of his wife, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Connie Schultz, and took care to include personal touches that would underscore Brown's authenticity, his campaign staff said.
Brown pointed to his suit - made, he said, by union workers at a factory near Cleveland - and noted that suits marketed under Trump's name are made in Mexico.
"I've been fighting for a trade agenda for more than 20 years that puts American workers first. And I can tell you, in all those years, I've never even seen Donald Trump," Brown said.
He also gave nods to his roots in Mansfield, to his wife's in Ashtabula, and to their parents' Midwest work ethic. "They wore their bodies out working long days so their children could go to college," he said. "For too many Americans today, that same hard work is not paying off.
"People work longer hours, they produce more. But while corporate profits have gone up, workers' wages haven't kept pace. Hillary Clinton knows that a job is not just a paycheck. It's about building a better life for your family. She's a progressive who gets things done."
That last part - "a progressive who gets things done" - effectively represents Brown's Good Housekeeping seal of approval. His status as a two-term senator in a battleground state was one reason he cracked Clinton's VP short list. Another was that his liberal politics were seen as a quality that could help Clinton win over fans of dispatched primary rival Bernie Sanders.
What likely hurt Brown's chances was that Ohio's Republican governor would pick his replacement at a time when Democrats are trying to reclaim control of the Senate.
Brown endorsed Clinton last fall, providing a nice boost for her campaign and a surprise in other circles. After watching Sanders call Tuesday for the convention to unanimously ratify Clinton's nomination, Brown, moved by the moment, added a section to his speech, his staff said.
"It took me back to Mansfield, when I was a third grader at Brinkerhoff Elementary School," Brown said Thursday night. "I remember looking up at the poster of our American presidents on the wall. Other than a few mustaches and powdered wigs, they all looked pretty much like me.
"My two granddaughters and three grandsons are too young - they're too young to appreciate the historic nature of this moment," he added. "But when they go to school and they look up at those same presidential posters in their classrooms, they won't see faces that look only like mine."
Brown's speech came on a closing convention night loaded with Ohio speakers. Rep. Joyce Beatty of Columbus and Rep. Tim Ryan of the Youngstown took the stage earlier in the evening, with Ryan offering a similar case against Trump's economic policies.
A Brown aide said the senator had a chance to visit with basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who also spoke Thursday night, backstage.
Brown told Abdul-Jabbar, author of several books, how much he admires his writing.


Micro milling of hemp cellulose – Hemp! use it.
Cellulose nanofibers have been processed from renewable feedstock in particularly from natural fibers, root crops and agro fibers, wherein the pulp was hydrolysed at a moderate temperature of 50 to 90 degree C., one extraction was performed using dilute acid and one extraction using alkali of concentration less than 10%; and residue was cryocrushed using liquid nitrogen, followed by individualization of the cellulose nanofibers using mechanical shear force. The nanofibers manufactured with this technique have diameters in the range of 20-60 nm and much higher aspect ratios than long fibers. Due to its lightweight and high strength its potential applications will be in aerospace industry and due to their biodegradable potential with tremendous stiffness and strength, they find application in the medical field such as blood bags, cardiac devices, valves as a reinforcing biomaterial.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 10x15 jelly roll pan with foil. Lightly grease the foil with cooking spray. Arrange the crackers in an even layer side-by-side on the baking sheet, breaking up crackers to fit if necessary. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and vanilla over medium heat. Cook and stir until melted, then bring to a boil and boil for exactly 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the crackers. Use an offset spatula to carefully spread the toffee around, but if the toffee doesn't cover all the crackers, it's okay - as it bakes it will spread some.
Thank you! What a perfect recipe for Christmas.
Hi Kim, I have not tried this recipe with margarine. It may work, but I'm not positive.


Although Canadians of all ages are consuming less sugar, they're still getting most of it from pop and other sweetened drinks, according to a new report from Statistics Canada.
Children aged nine to 18 in Canada are still the country's biggest consumers of sugar, and Canadians are getting more sugar from food than they did 10 years before the data agency's last survey on nutrition, which was in 2015.
The report was based on responses from more than 45,000 Canadians. Studies conducted from 2004 to 2015 divided respondents into three age groups: two to eight; nine to 18; and 18 and older.
We might be ingesting less sugar now, but in 2015, sweetened beverages were responsible for 22 per cent of the sugar young children consumed, 30 per cent of what older children ingested, and 24 per cent of adults' intake.
From 2004 to 2015, daily sugar consumption by young children fell by three grams per day (from 104 to 101 ), that of older children by 13 grams (from 128 to 115), and adults' daily consumption fell by eight grams (from 93 to 85).
In a few months' time, StatCan's report will be followed by Health Canada's overhauled version of Canada's Food Guide, which is expected to encourage a diet low in sugar.
The health report was published the same day another dietary report made headlines around the world. EAT, a non-profit based in Stockholm that promotes a plant-based diet, published its findings on healthy and sustainable eating in the Lancet medical journal on Wednesday. EAT says North Americans need to drastically reduce their consumption of red meat, eat more beans, lentils, fruits and veggies, and cut back on added sugars.
The 30 scientists who wrote the EAT report say a "great food transformation" is needed by 2050 to save not only the millions of people who die every year from unhealthy diets, but the planet itself from climate change caused in part by greenhouse-gas-intensive farming.


With Bell Flavors & Fragrances' marketing and fragrance experts researching the market, monitoring products and receiving customer feedback, they are now sharing their insights on fragrance trends for 2016.
The last year and a half has brought oriental notes and Oudh compositions to European markets and fragrances are now growing not only in fine fragrances, but also in a variety of applications such as soaps, shower gels and candles.
The company is inspired to work with dark flowers and spices for an oriental touch for upcoming fragrance compositions in the near future, which can be utilized year-round.
On the other hand, Bell's more summer-like fragrance consists of sweet-fruity smells and is referred to as "food in cosmetics." Fragrances from this concept will include sorbet and macaroon, which will be most fitting for bath and shower products.
In consideration of consumers who prefer less fruity scents and more floral, the company has a focus on freesia. This floral composition in combination with white woods is most suitable in creams, lotions and fabric softeners.
Additionally, the company is using Pantone-colors of the year 2016, Rose Quartz & Serenity to its advantage for other upcoming fragrances.

Licensing and selling intellectual property in Cyprus and in Europe
The rapid advances in artificial intelligence and other technology aspects have elevated the importance of securing, licensing and selling intellectual property rights and there are significant advantages in enhancing knowledge of the existing legal framework that supports such transactions.
The protection of intellectual property has several benefits to businesses. If an invention, such as a new product, is protected, the owner of the intellectual property rights (also known as IP rights) will become the only person with the right to use or reproduce it. Others cannot copy or reproduce what the owner has invented without his/her permission. When an invention is protected, the quality of the product is guaranteed and its origin is clear. This can be an advantage for the business, because customers may prefer to buy a product that has passed more restrictive checks (a controlled good). Owning a patent or a trademark can increase market value and make it easier for businesses to find investors or other funding opportunities.
In addition, businesses can earn money not only through direct use of IP rights but also indirectly through licensing contracts. This is when a business grants a licence to another company to use IP protected subject matters for a certain period of time. Owners of intellectual property (IP) have the right to grant rights of use to another legal person through the grant of a license to use IP rights. Owners of IP may also wish to generate revenue by selling IP, through assigning or transferring their IP rights.
Confidentiality of an IP license or IP assignment
Before negotiating a licensing or an assignment agreement In certain cases, it may be useful to keep some information confidential, such as the piece of IP concerned - for example, technology for which no patent application has been filed so far or another trade secret, the licensing or the assignment agreement itself and especially its financial aspects. For this purpose, it is important to conclude a non-disclosure agreement with the potential licensee or assignee.
Potential licensees or buyers of IP can gather and assess information about IP by submitting it to an IP due diligence investigation. A thorough examination of all aspects concerning IP is important. Due diligence includes searches of the relevant registers such as Registers of Trademarks, Trade Names or Patents to verify the ownership and due registration of the relevant IP rights. Additionally, due diligence requires detailed inquiries as to the status of IP rights, asking the IP owner for relevant certificates as well as review of any relevant agreements to see their terms and to confirm whether IP rights are transferable.
Licensing out IP
The holder of intellectual property can negotiate a licensing agreement with another entity (licensee) that gives permission for the license to use the intellectual property rights. The owner may opt to have a single licensee (also known as exclusive licence) or several licensees. If offering multiple licences, these can be open or limited in scope to particular industries or geographical areas (such as franchising). In exchange, the owner (also known as the licensor) gets paid for giving permission, typically in the form of "royalties" defined as a percentage of the sales. The owner can also set the limits for the use of the IP (geographical scope, field of use, etc.).
By licensing out IP, the owner/licensor keeps his/her rights over the IP, which means that there is no transfer of ownership. The owner/licensor remains responsible for the maintenance (and, the case being, prosecution) of the IP rights concerned. Although licensing agreements need to be prepared with the assistance of lawyers and IP professionals, there are some key IP clauses to be negotiated and included before signing the agreement.
The core content of a licensing agreement
In order to put together a licensing agreement, the following issues are important:
to put the agreement in writing;
to clarify which IP rights exactly are concerned;
to communicate the starting date, duration, and termination of the contract;
to negotiate and mention in the agreement the financial compensation to be paid by the licensee to the licensor (e.g. possible lump sum, royalties, etc.);
to state the exclusivity or non-exclusivity of the license agreement;
to mention all the conditions for the use of the IP;
to define in which territories the licensee can use the IP.
In some EU countries, you must register the licence agreement, usually at the national IP office. In Cyprus, a copy of the trademark licence agreement must be submitted to the Registrar of Companies to be registered in the Register of Trademarks. In case of termination or amendment of the licence agreement, the parties must immediately inform the Registrar to update the Register of Trademarks accordingly. Additionally, industrial design licence agreements should be registered in the Register of Designs and should be published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Cyprus. Patent and copyright licences are not bound by any formality or registration requirement. For further information, check the factsheet on licence agreements by the European IPR Helpdesk.
Assignment of IP rights
The owner of IP rights can transfer the ownership of his/her intellectual property rights (patent, trade mark, copyright, etc.) by assigning/transferring the IP. With an IP assignment, the owner transfers all rights he/she initially possessed for the piece of intellectual property concerned. When the IP assignment is finalised, the owner will have no further responsibility for that IP (such as paying renewal fees), nor will he/she benefit from any possible commercial success of the product or service concerned. In addition, unless this is explicitly allowed in the assignment contract, the owner will not be able to further use the IP concerned (invention, trademark, etc.), as long as it is protected.
The core content of an IP assignment
In order to put together an IP assignment agreement, the following issues are important:
to clearly specify and identify the IP that is transferred, for example indicating the registration number (if it is a registered IP);
to negotiate and mention in the agreement the financial compensation to be paid by the assignee to the owner;
to discuss possible warranties for specific details and include them in the agreement;
to specify which law should be used to interpret the contract and the jurisdiction for any possible dispute settlement, whether an arbitration panel or a local court.
to make sure that the assignment is registered with the relevant IP office if it is a legal requirement. In Cyprus, registration of assignment is necessary for transferring trademarks, industrial designs.

Large companies are quickly learning that they can no longer implement unpopular changes in the dark of night without the Internet shining a very bright spotlight on them.
Thanks to the Internet, consumers are able to quickly organize boycotts and other forms of protest in response to the proposed implementation of unpopular changes.
Consumers effectively organized against unpopular changes and quickly beat them back multiple times in 2011.
Remember the proposed $5/month debit card fee that was going to be implemented by Bank of America? Consumers expressed their outrage through sites such as Twitter and Facebook and organized a national "Bank Transfer Day". Bank of America eventually folded to the intense pressure and decided against implementing the monthly fee. Other banks that were thinking of doing the same thing also followed suit. If it weren't for the Internet, Bank of America customers would all be paying a $5/month fee for debit card usage right now. There is no way that consumers would have been able to organize and mobilize as quickly as they did without the Internet.
What about Verizon's proposed $2/payment "convenience" fee for making one-time payments over the phone or online? The outrage was immediate and Verizon ended up backing down after just a day. Word of the proposed fee quickly spread through social media sites and the company quickly decided against implementing the fee.
What about Godaddy and their previous support of SOPA (Stop Online Privacy Act). Once the Internet caught wind of the fact that Godaddy was a SOPA supporter, a very large boycott was organized and Godaddy ended up losing hundreds of thousands of domains in a very short period of time. Godaddy not only dropped their support of SOPA, but they are also now reportedly against the bill.
Netflix also upset a large portion of their customer base after proposing the splitting of their service into a streaming and physical DVD plan (remember Quixster?). Again, outrage quickly spread through Twitter and Facebook, and the company eventually ended up backing down. Months later, Netflix is still trying to pick up the pieces and make things right with their customer base.
The days of large companies pushing through unpopular changes without much resistance from their client bases are pretty much over, thanks in large part to social media sites.


According to Deloitte's 2015 Global Human Capital Trends survey, employee engagement and culture issues exploded onto the scene, rising to become the number one challenge companies face around the world.
It is now more important than ever to develop the skills to engage, motivate, inspire and develop the people in your company so that they want to stay working with you.
Culture drives many outcomes in organisations, perhaps most prominently, employee engagement and retention. That can spell bad news for a lot of companies.
More than half of respondents say their organisations have either a poor program or no program to measure and improve engagement.
So how can NLP training help improve engagement?
There are some people that you naturally seem to get along with. You quickly get them and they get you. Working with them is easy because they do things in the same way as you.
And there are other people that are difficult to work with. They do things so differently from how you that it seems impossible that you will ever be able to work well together.
This happens because everyone experiences situations from their own unique perspective.
It is estimated that we are only able to experience one half of 1,000,000% of the information available to us.
People are filtering this massive amount of information around them differently and creating many different perspectives of the same situation.
When someone is experiencing a situation in a completely different way from you it can become difficult to engage that person because it is almost as if they are speaking a different language!
NLP is the methodology of how behaviour is created. In other words, it is a set of skills that teaches you how people filter information to create their own different perspectives in their own communication language.
When you know the communication language that someone is using, you are able to communicate with that person from their perspective, using their communication style, rather than your own.
Which means that 70% to 80% of communication is by voice tone and body posture.
Our NLP training covers both the verbal and non-verbal elements of communication.
And as well as listening to the words people are saying, you pick up clues from voice tone, body posture and learn graceful ways to question people to get a fuller picture about any situation you are working with.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a model of the relationship between how we think and how we behave.
It is a system, which educates people in self-awareness and effective communication to help change patterns of behaviour.
When you are using communication skills that help people feel understood, valued, encouraged with a sense of purpose and a clear direction, you are well on the way to creating an engaged workforce.
Since 2005 we have been helping business leaders become superb communicators and much more through our NLP Business Practitioner Training Programme.

Magic: Become an Entrant
In a recent blog post titled "This Flight from Failure", John Michael Greer reported on the problem of failure in abstract art:
Let's take a moment to unpack what's being said here. Every artist in every medium has had the experience of having an artwork fail to measure up to the creative vision that inspired it. In that sense, sure, abstract art can fail. Every artist in every medium has also had the experience of having an artwork fail to communicate its creative vision to its audience. In that sense, too, abstract art can fail, and in fact does so far more often than not, though museumgoers are by and large too polite to point this out.
He goes on to point out that in Druidry, at least, the skill of the beginner is to be lauded and praised… but there's a point at which you try to avoid urging the old hand to move beyond the beginner's mind, and develop some technical skills which move the beginner out of basic practice and into the long, hard slog toward mastery — a road which really has no ending, and may not arrive in the place that anyone might wish: to be a technically-proficient and accomplished poet or musician, but completely lacking in fame, fortune or notice.
But I AM the result of the kind of specific training in form and meter, largely self-taught, that John Michael Greer talks about in his column. As a poet, I taught myself to write sonnets and sestinas, villanelles, terza rima and bob-and-wheel, haiku and senryu, even the fiendish Welsh form the Cwydd llosgrynog. I'm well aware that my poetry has not always landed well (you can read the free stuff here and here; and you can read the paid stuff by purchasing it here, here and here [Ahem. Can't blame a guy for trying]). I've sold dozens of copies of my work! DOZENS, you hear!?
The wider occult community has numerous methods for training up witches and shamans, mages and magicians, ovates and bards and druids, sorcerers and episcopes vagrantes, and vast numbers of potential future "elders of the Craft", whose training by and large consists of much the same thing over and over and over again — different traditions, perhaps, different words, but similar skill-sets of focus and self-management. Let's leave aside, for the moment, the complicated ways that some of these terms (like Shaman) overlap with traditional wisdom from various indigenous cultures. Let's also recognize that, at some level, we assume that roles and titles like Novice or Neophyte lead, in the due course of time, to fancier titles like Adept and Magister Templi and so on. While my own training in Druidry in the Bardic grade involved a lot of heavy lifting and serious work, very little of it was directed at the core of what the word "Bard" has come to mean, which is to be a professional poet of some skill and training.
And so, with this post, I offer the first lessons in what teachers call a "scope and sequence": a process of graduated learning in becoming a poet of a certain style and skill. OR… what occultists might call an initiatory tradition: that is, a training process by which a nominally-ordinary person might develop the gifts and skills necessary to be a poet of a particular school of Bards.
Let's be clear. If you begin this training, there's no guarantee that you'll become a Druid. This zero-th rank, the novice degree if you will, makes you an Entrant. It does not mean that you will ever become a great poet of fame and fortune, or even a minor poet whose words get them laid a lot, or that your name will live in immortality. It means that you will have made a beginning to the study of poetry. Even if you advance to the next level, as a Rhymer, or to the next as a Poet, or even all the way to Bard, the capstone achievement of this school… you will not become an Ovate or a Druid. This is not a system of operative magic, at least as I currently understand it.
But the results of this training are in fact magical, or they were for me.
And so, let us begin.
The Entrant Grade
To become an entrant to this Bardic School, you must first understand this: Bardic Schools existed in ancient times. We know virtually nothing about them. Some of them survived into the early modern period, the 1600s and 1700s, in remote parts of Ireland and Scotland. There, the would-be poet would wrap themselves in a sheepskin rug or a long piece of wool cloth (a plaid, a tartan or a great kilt, perhaps), and then the school-master would give the student two things: a theme or story to compose a poem, and a form or poetic style in which they must write. The poet would then compose orally, while wrapped in a blanket, a poem on the chosen subject and in the chosen style.
And so this is the level of skill we aim for: to be able to compose poems orally in a particular style and on a particular theme. It's not that much different, really, to a kind of poet called a diviner or fortune-teller, who puts a Tarot card spread on a table or lays out some runes, and then reports on the future with some mystical guidance. But it does take a different kind of practice.
To become an Entrant, you must:
Declare yourself publicly to be endeavoring to become an Entrant;
Go for a walk outdoors on each of seven consecutive days, for at least fifteen minutes. Write a haiku at the end of each walk about something you saw or heard on that walk
Write two sonnets in your own native language, one in the Petrarchan form, and one in the Shakespearean or Elizabethan form, conforming in rhyme scheme and syllable-count of 10 syllables to the line. (They do not have to be good sonnets, they only have to be sonnets.)
Memorize four sonnets, one by each of these writers, either in the original language or in a highly-regarded translation into your native language: William Shakespeare, one and only one of the 'Johns' [John Milton or John Keats or John Donne], Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Christina Rosetti. (if you want to memorize one by me, I'll be flattered… but it doesn't count). [I will modify this requirement if provided with the names of four sonneteers in foreign languages I don't speak].
Memorize any twenty-five lines of Beowulf, either in the original Old English or the Seamus Heaney translation. If you become aware of another Entrant within easy traveling distance of you who has memorized a section, you should endeavor to memorize the section immediately before, or immediately after, their selection — so that someday, you can perform it together.
Recite aloud, at least three times, all the poems you wrote in 2., and 3., above. Make changes in language as seems appropriate after all three readings are complete, but only such changes as you can make in 20 minutes or less [use a timer & obey it!]).
Purchase (or dedicate for the purposes of this course) a Tarot deck (preferably a Smith-Rider-Waite deck or one descended from that tradition, but it's not an exclusive requirement); pictures rather than pips are recommended for the Minor Arcana.
Declare to a group of witnesses that you have completed these requirements and are now an Entrant to the school; if challenged, you must answer with a poem you have memorized.
Let us take a look at what you are being asked to do here. First, you're being asked to speak aloud an intention to become at least an Entrant to the world of formalized poetry. Second, you're being asked to learn how to write three kinds of poetry, two of them closely related to one another, and to begin to self-edit that work. Third, you're being asked to get out of the house and into the wider world. Fourth, you're being asked to mentally acquire a body of poetry that you did not write, by some of the great English writers. Fifth, you're going to acquire some knowledge of a divination tool, and sixth, you're going to work on developing an audience and a performance style with work that is not your own.
In the due course of time, I'll post the First Degree, that of Rhymer, and its requirements. For now, I'll wait until I'm aware that there are ten students who have completed the requirements for Entrant, or until certain other signs and portents have been received.
In the meantime, I hope that you will endeavor to enter this school of bards, and begin to discover the wonders therein.

Dean Smith says:
Yep, understood! I'm not sure how far or rather how fast I'll go with this. However, I've wanted to get some kind of a grip with poetry for some time. Even I just do this entrant work slowly I think it will help me a great deal.
You.Are.Right. 🙂 Slow and sure is the way to go, here.
Sounds fun, I'm in!
Sounds good, Dean. Just remember — you have another project in process, and that one definitely needs to be completed. This one doesn't take nearly as high priority as that one. Don't lose sight of that, OK? 😉

You must enter an organization into the system before you can add student and test data. You add organizations through either a PearsonAccessnext file import or manually through user interface (UI) data fields.
You can also manually enter organization data through the system's UI data fields - typically, to add a single organization. This most commonly occurs when you need to quickly add an organization.
When you manually add an organization file, you must individually perform tasks (that the organization import would have automatically completed) to ensure the organizational hierarchy is established.

Maggie Vaults to "Battle of the Books" List!
September 18, 2014 by Grant Overstake	Leave a comment
Maggie Vaults Over the Moon is listed among the great reads on the 2014-15 Battle of the Books list in the Wichita Diocese Catholic Schools.
Author Grant Overstake reads Maggie at Watermark Books in Wichita.
The Battle of the Books is a popular reading contest for 5th and 6th graders in the district, which includes 25 elementary schools in south central Kansas. The purpose of the program is to encourage students to read good books and have fun competing against students from other schools. The Jeopardy-like team competitions begin in March.
"It's a great honor to be included on a distinguished reading list like this one," said author Grant Overstake, who lives in Wichita. "It's mind-blowing to be listed among so many great books and authors, including Wichita's most-famous author, Newbery Award-winner Clare Vanderpool."
Lisa Hinson, the Librarian at Resurrection Catholic School, notified Overstake that his book had been selected.
"I liked the fact that your book was a sports title but with a female main character," Hinson wrote. "It is also nice to know that someone is writing books for our YA that aren't filled with rough language or sexual references but still have enough intrigue and action to keep students reading. Thank you for providing such a book. Do you have any more in the works?"
Maggie was awarded to pole-vaulters at the Wichita Catholic Schools track meet.
In the story, Maggie Steele is a gritty farm girl from tiny Grain Valley, Kansas who pours her broken heart into the daring, dangerous sport of pole-vaulting. Driven by a secret she cannot share with anyone, Maggie finds herself on a quest to soar waaay higher than critics think a girl should ever go. Unflinching in its exploration of teenage grief with brilliant descriptions of a breathtaking, beautiful sport, Maggie Vaults Over the Moon is a powerful and rewarding read for mid-grade to adults.
Six-time Audie Award Finalist Tavia Gilbert will perform Maggie on audiobook.

Dieser Artikel behandelt die schottische Nationalmannschaft bei der paneuropäischen Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2021. Für die schottische Mannschaft war es die dritte Teilnahme nach 1992 und 1996. Sie konnte sich als letzte Mannschaft über die Play-offs qualifizieren, an denen die Mannschaften teilnahmen, die zu den vier besten Teams einer jeden Liga der UEFA Nations League 2018/19 gehörten und sich nicht über den Hauptqualifikationsweg für die EM qualifizieren konnten.

Qualifikation

Irland, Schottland und Wales hatten 2012 eine gemeinsame Bewerbung für die EM 2021, die zunächst für 2020 geplant war, in Betracht gezogen. Nach der Entscheidung der UEFA, die EM in mehreren europäischen Städten auszurichten, hatte sich Schottland mit dem Hampden Park in Glasgow für drei Gruppenspiele und ein Achtel- oder Viertelfinalspiel beworben und erhielt die Zusage für drei Gruppenspiele und ein Achtelfinale. Wie die anderen Länder in denen Spiele stattfinden werden, musste sich aber auch Schottland qualifizieren. Dabei trafen die Schotten in einer der fünf Sechsergruppen auf Belgien, Russland, Zypern, Kasachstan und San Marino. Die Schotten, die seit März 2018 von Alex McLeish trainiert wurden, verloren das erste Spiel im März 2019 in Kasachstan mit 0:3. Drei Tage später gewannen sie in San Marino zwar mit 2:0, McLeish wurde aber Mitte April entlassen. Unter seinem Nachfolger Steve Clarke verloren die Schotten aber beide Spiele gegen Belgien sowie Russland und konnten nur gegen die anderen Gruppengegner gewinnen. So hatten sie schon vor den drei letzten Spielen keine Chance mehr sich direkt für die EM-Endrunde zu qualifizieren.

UEFA Nations League 2018/19 Gruppe C1
Als Sieger ihrer Gruppe in der UEFA Nations League 2018/19 stand schon vor Beginn der eigentlichen EM-Qualifikation fest, dass Schottland wenn es sich nicht direkt qualifizieren kann, der Alternativ-Weg über die Play-offs offen steht, den sie dann auch beschreiten mussten.

|}

Play-Off Weg C
Da sich aus Liga C insgesamt sieben Mannschaften für die Play-offs qualifizierten weil aus Liga A nur eine Mannschaft sich nicht direkt qualifizieren konnte und aus Liga B genau vier Mannschaften nicht direkt qualifiziert waren und daher über Weg B gehen mussten, die Gruppensieger aber nicht gegen Mannschaften aus höheren Ligen spielen sollten, wurden die Schotten, sowie Norwegen und Serbien als Gruppensieger Weg C zugeordnet und Israel hinzugelost. Da von diesen die Schotten den höchsten und Israel den niedrigsten Platz von den vier Mannschaften in der Gesamtwertung der Liga C hatten, mussten beide im Halbfinale gegeneinander antreten und den Schotten wurde das Heimrecht zugestanden. Im anderen Halbfinale trafen Norwegen und Serbien aufeinander. Die Heimmannschaft für das Finale wurde ausgelost.

Insgesamt wurden von den Trainern in der eigentlichen Qualifikation und den Play-offs 38 Spieler eingesetzt. Nur Callum McGregor kam in allen zwölf Spielen zum Einsatz. Zehn Einsätze hatte John McGinn, der mit sieben Toren auch bester Torschütze der Schotten war. Ihre ersten Länderspiele bestritten Eamonn Brophy, Liam Cooper, Michael Devlin, Stuart Findlay, John Fleck, Declan Gallagher, Marc McNulty, Liam Palmer, Lawrence Shankland und Greg Taylor in der Qualifikation. Ihre ersten Länderspieltore erzielten Ryan Christie, dem im Play-off-Finale auch das Tor zur zwischenzeitlichen 1:0-Führung gelang, womit er mit zwei Qualifikationstoren zweitbester schottischer Torschütze war, sowie Oliver Burke, Stuart Findlay (in seinem ersten Länderspiel), Kenny McLean, Johnny Russell und Lawrence Shankland. Ein Eigentor unterlief Stephen O'Donnell zur 1:2-Niederlage gegen Russland.

Vorbereitung

Am 25., 28. und 31. März 2021 standen die ersten Spiele in der Qualifikation für die WM 2022 gegen Österreich (2:2), Israel (1:1) und die Färöer (4:0) an. Beim Spiel gegen Österreich kam Ché Adams und gegen die Färöer Kevin Nisbet zum ersten Länderspieleinsatz.

Am 2. Juni spielen die Schotten an der Algarve gegen EM-Teilnehmer Niederlande (2:2, nach zweimaliger Führung) und am 6. Juni in Luxemburg gegen Luxemburg.

Basiscamp für das Turnier wird der Trainingskomplex des FC Middlesbrough in Middlesbrough sein.

Kader
Der Kader für die Endrunde, der wegen der anhaltenden COVID-19-Pandemie diesmal aus 26 Spielern bestehen darf, wurde am 19. Mai 2021 bekannt gegeben. Kein Spieler hat EM-Endrundenerfahrung. Der älteste Spieler, Torhüter Craig Gordon war beim letzten EM-Auftritt 13 Jahre alt. Neun Spieler wurden erst danach geboren.

Anmerkungen: C = UEFA-Champions-League-Sieger 2020/21, M = Meister 2020/21, P = Pokalsieger 2020/21, (II) = 2. Liga,  = Aufsteiger,  = Absteiger

Endrunde

Bei der Auslosung am 30. November 2019 waren die Schotten noch nicht qualiziert und die vier Playoffplätze wurden dem Topf 4 zugeordnet und der Sieger des Wegs C der Gruppe D zugeordnet, damit falls Schottland den Weg gewinnt, es zwei Heimspiele in Glasgow hat. Der Gruppe war zuvor England als weiterer Gruppengastgeber zugeordnet worden und Vizeweltmeister Kroatien sowie Tschechien zugelost worden.  England und Schottland, die 1872 das erste Länderspiel überhaupt bestritten, gehören zu den Mannschaften, die am häufigsten gegeneinander gespielt haben. In 114 Spielen gab es 41 schottische Siege, 25 Remis und 48 Niederlagen. Den letzten schottischen Sieg gab es im November 1999, danach folgten drei Niederlagen und zuletzt im Juni 2017 ein Remis. Schon bei der letzten EM-Teilnahme der Schotten spielten sie mit England in einer Gruppe und verloren mit 0:2. Gegen Kroatien gab es erst fünf Spiele, zunächst drei Remis und dann in der Qualifikation für die WM 2014 zwei Siege. Gegen Tschechien gab es bisher vier Niederlagen, ein Remis und vier Siege, davon zwei in der  UEFA Nations League 2020/21.
