International Trademark Filing in India – The Madrid Protocol
India adopted Madrid Protocol in 2013
The Madrid Protocol is a WIPO administered treaty to simplify the process of filing trademarks across multiple jurisdictions
Trademark applications can be filed in India under the Madrid Protocol when India is either the origin country or the designated country
If India is the origin country, the Indian Trademarks Registry (TMR) will receive the applications for international registrations of trademark
If India is the designated country, the international trademark application is filed with WIPO selecting India as the designated country
ADVANTAGES OF THE MADRID SYSTEM
Single application based system in one language (English, French and Spanish) with a strict time limit established under the Protocol. Thus the procedure becomes more cost effective, faster and with wide ranging international application.
Further chance of extending geographical application of the trademark along with any other changes, is recorded by the International Bureau and have effect through a single procedure.
No local limitations towards the trademark unless the contracting country raise objections. Thus allowing a necessary removal of local intermediaries and making it a smooth functioning system, internationally.
Replying to Provisional refusal in India under Madrid Protocol
International Trademarks and Brand Protection
Provisional refusal in India under Madrid Protocol Services
Provisional refusal in India under Madrid Protocol: Although, it is not possible to register a particular brand as "International Trademark", the Madrid Protocol system provides an easy solution to the companies and individuals if the country in which they want to register their trademark has signed up the Madrid Protocol.
India signed up for Madrid Protocol With WIPO in the year 2013. Madrid System, including Madrid Agreement and Protocol relating to Madrid Agreement, is an international treaty to facilitate international registration of trademarks and management of trademark applications worldwide.
How Madrid Protocol Trademark System Works in Favour of Brand & Trademark Owners
It can be used to file and register the trademark in the home country, for example, resident of India will file trademark in India first and subsequently be able to secure wider trademark protection globally. Once the Indian trademark application is filed before the Indian Trademark Office, one can extend the trademark registration in other countries by using a single trademark application. The details of the single trademark application should include desired countries in which you want to seek trademark protection.
Overall costs for filing trademark under Madrid protocol will depend on the applicable official government fees of the designated countries in which you are applying to register your trademark brand, and the number of trademark classes.
Filing International Trademark Applications Under Madrid Protocol With WIPO – Procedure, Cost and Requirements for Indian Trademarks
[slideshare id=44827865&doc=internationaltrademarkapplicationmadridprotocol-150218064234-conversion-gate01]
Madrid Agreement and Madrid Protocol – Governing Treaties
The treaties provide an easy and cost effective way of filing international trademarks. Once the trademarks are registered by respective designated offices, the Madrid protocol further provides simple procedures to manage international registrations.
Provisional refusal in India under Madrid Protocol: Office of Origin
The trademark office that receives application under Madrid protocol is known as office of origin.
Provisional refusal in India under Madrid Protocol: Designated Offices
The trademark applicant can designate one or more trademark offices as contracting party, which is then notified about filing of trademark application under Madrid protocol by WIPO.
Provisional refusal in India under Madrid Protocol: Madrid Protocol Application – General Procedure
Usually, once the international trademark application is filed with designation of countries with the office of origin, the contents of said application are verified by said office of origin. Once done, the application is forwarded to WIPO, which is then published by WIPO and subsequently, WIPO notifies all the designated offices. Thereafter, each designated office examines the trademark application as per respective trademark laws, rules and procedures.
Madrid Trademark Application in India
The Indian Trademark Office is authorized to receive an international trademark application under Madrid Protocol.
Madrid Trademark Application in India – Requirements
The basic criteria to file Madrid Trademark Application in India requires applicant to be eligible to file said trademark application, which essentially requires the applicant to be an Indian national or having a place of business in India. In addition, the Indian trademark office requires an existing trademark application, known as the basic application, and designation of one or more countries wherein international trademark protection is required.
Documents Required for Filing Trademarks in India
The Indian Trademark Office requires an international trademark application under Madrid Protocol to be accompanied by an application form, power of attorney, payment of handling fee, and payment of international designation fee (in Swiss Francs) payable to WIPO.
Madrid Trademark Application – Role of Office of Origin
During the process of receiving an application for international trademark registration under Madrid System, the office of origin plays an important role. After receiving the application, the office of origin verifies the contents, certifies the application and forwards it to WIPO for publication and notification to designated offices. Subsequently, the office of origin receives details of irregularities in the application, if any, and further communicates with WIPO regarding status of basic trademark application.
Responding to Provisional Refusal from the Indian Trademark Office under Madrid Protocol
The Indian Trademark Office examines every international trademark registration designating India received from the International Bureau of WIPO. An International Registration Designating India (IRDI) number is allotted by the Trade Marks Registry to every International Registration in which India has been designated. The trademark examiner examines the Brand trademark on the ground of non-distinctiveness and similarities to registered trademarks and pending trademarks before the Indian Trademark Registry.
While examining the trademark application, if there is any objection for protection of such trademark registration in India, a provisional refusal is notified to the International Bureau of WIPO within 18 months from the date the international registration was notified to India.
General objections raised by Trademark Registry in India | Trademark Objections under Provisional Refusal In India
9(1){a) under Indian Trademark Law- The objection is raised under S 9(1) (a) of the Trade Marks Act 1999, as the mark is non-distinctive and as such it is not capable of distinguishing the services of one person from those of others.,
11(1) under Indian Trademark Law – The objection is raised under S 11 (1) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, as the mark is identical with or similar to earlier marks in respect of identical or similar description of services and because of such identity or similarity there exists a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public.
The provisional refusal includes an Examination Report containing objections. The International Bureau records the provisional refusal in the international register and provides the details of such provisional refusal to the trademark applicant of the international registration.
The provisional refusal is recorded in the International Register, together with an indication of the date on which the notification was sent. The provisional refusal is also published in the WIPO Gazette, with an indication as to whether the refusal is total (i.e. relates to all the goods and services covered by the designation) or partial (i.e., relates to only some of those goods and and services covered)
Responding to Provisional Refusal Issued by the Indian Trademark Office under the Madrid Protocol
The trademark applicant can respond to the provisional refusal by engaging a trademark agent or an Indian trademark attorney having address in India by executing a Power of Attorney in the favour of the agent/attorney.
Follow the Deadline Dates | Trademark Response Deadline to Respond to the Objections:
The normal deadline to respond to trademark objections raised by the Indian Trademark Office is 1 month from the date of receipt of the provisional refusal notification by the trademark applicant. Technically, once the trademark applicant receives the provisional refusal notification from the International Bureau of WIPO the last date to respond to provisional refusal can be calculated.
Note: If you have opted to receive notifications from the International Bureau of WIPO by paper mail, it is advisable to retain the postal receipt. So, if there is a delay by the post the date of receipt of the provisional refusal from WIPO, the postal receipt will act as documentary evidence.
What to do if you miss the deadline / extension of timeline to respond to trademark objections raised by the Indian Trademark Office?
The Indian trademark attorney can file an application for extension of time and the same is at the discretion of the trademark office. The Trade Marks Registry (TMR) office of India then considers the response of the trademark applicant of the international registration and may either confirm the refusal or move for advertisement of the international registration in the Trade Marks Journal.
Amending detailed description of different trademark goods/services:
Any amendments in goods/services in respect of the Indian trademark application needs to be made only at the International Bureau of WIPO and the same needs to be notified to the Indian Trademark Office by the International Bureau of WIPO.

This case study is about IP services provided to a client in the domain of cloud telephony. Specifically, the cloud telephony company developed an innovative technology product and this case study provides a reference for patent attorneys and intellectual property law firms worldwide.
Oroginally published here.
Cloud Telephony Product – Innovative Technology
The innovative technology product is aimed at offering cloud telephony solutions to users for performing secure transactions via mobile devices.
Task – IP Protection
Client wanted to protect overall intellectual property (IP) associated with the innovative product, including the technology powering the product, corresponding product and / or service embodiments, and related aspects of intellectual property rights (IPR).
Patent Portfolio – Creation and Development
The first step executed was to create a patent portfolio by drafting and filing multiple patent applications covering different embodiments of the innovative product. The aim of creating patent portfolio was to add value to the company's intangible assets by developing the patent portfolio into an asset with global execution potential by way of patent licensing and patent assignment.
The patent portfolio included patent applications having claims protecting broad level scope to cover overall technology and corresponding aspects embodied over the wireless network. For example, the parent patent application claimed features to connect users of the product in a secure environment.

Cloud Telephony Patent – Case Study – Patent Strategy for International Patent Filings and Global Brand Protection via Trademarks from Rahul Dev
Patent Filing vs. Product Launch
Considering the fact that the innovative technology could be applied across multiple industry sectors, parent patent application was filed well ahead of the product launch date and subsequent patent applications were filed in a timely manner in-sync with the subsequent versions and features of the technology product.
An accelerated patent strategy was formulated for the client with a view to achieve timely and enforceable patent protection across multiple jurisdictions based on the business interests of the client. Consequently, a strong patent portfolio was created and developed across different countries by way of international patent filings (PCT International Phase Patent Filing, PCT National Phase Patent Filing, Paris Convention). By taking advantage of the patent cooperation treaty (PCT) as per the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organisation), patent filing procedure across different patent offices was streamlined by bringing together a strong network of international patent attorneys to work on the project.
Brand Protection – Trademark Registrations
In addition to patent protection, multiple brands associated with the product were protected by filing applications for domestic and international trademark trademark registrations. International brand protection was achieved by way of Madrid system, which includes Madrid Protocol, which is related to Madrid Agreement, an international treaty to facilitate international registration of trademarks and management of trademark applications.
Therefore, as may be seen, different aspects of intellectual property rights can be protected by collectively filing multiple patent and trademark applications, both domestically and internationally.

Startup deals across various business and technology sectors are exposed to legal and regulatory landscape at various levels. Venture capital is constantly powering private equity investments through venture funding by VC firms and angel investments by angel investors.
Indian government under the leadership of PM Modi has announced Startup India Action Plan and Policy, which includes multiple tax incentives, RBI incentives, incentives for ease of doing business in India, Intellectual Property Rights Incentives to file patents and trademarks via IP Facilitators etc.
Originally published here.
A crucial step for startup includes incorporation of the legal entity in India for doing business. Structuring of a startup business can follow different models, including, global business led by intellectual property, investments by promoters outside India, conducting business using offshore company in India, etc.
Most preferred legal entity for doing business in India is a private limited company, which can be incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Startups can select between a private company that requires at least two directors or a one person company (OPC), which requires one director. Once a company is incorporated, post incorporation steps are required as guided by a chartered accountant (CA) and a corporate lawyer.
If business includes providing services to consumers, limited liability partnership (LLP) can be incorporated having two or more partners, who can be individuals or corporate entities.
While doing business, startup needs to execute various legal agreements and contracts, including, confidentiality & non-disclosure agreement (NDA), offer letter, employment agreements, non-competition agreements, non-solicitation agreements, intellectual property (IP) assignment agreements, employee stock options (ESOPs) plans, investment agreements, shareholder agreements, founders agreement, term sheet, and advisor agreements.
For startups conducting online business using internet, websites and mobile apps, additional measures are required for risk management, including IT Act Compliance, Content Regulation, Online Payment Gateways etc.
Startups leveraging intellectual property can secure corresponding IP rights (IPR) by way of filing patents, trademarks, copyrights and industrial designs in India and abroad under various mechanisms as allowed by WIPO, such as, the patent cooperation treaty (PCT), Madrid Protocol etc.

Q: Exponential Word Problem $s(x)=5000-4000e^{-x}$. I need help with this word problem. Much appreciated.
Sales of a new model of word processor are approximated by $S(x)=5000 - 4000e^{-x}$, where $x$ represents the number of years that the word processor has been on the market, and $S(x)$ represents sales in thousands of dollars. When will sales reach $4,500,000$?

A: We can solve it straightforward as below.
\begin{align}
5000000-4000000e^x=4500000
&&&\Longrightarrow&& 4000000e^x=500000\\
&&&\Longrightarrow&& e^x=\frac{1}{8}\\
&&&\Longrightarrow&& x=-\ln 8.
\end{align}
That is, $\ln 8$ years ago from the present.

POLL: 90% of AFT members are vaccinated and Two Thirds support Vaccine Mandates
WASHINGTON—Fresh polling of American Federation of Teachers members has revealed the vast majority—90 percent—are vaccinated and fully 2 in 3 K-12 members support vaccine mandates.
A survey undertaken by Hart Research Associates show 67 percent of K-12 members favor a requirement that all school employees be vaccinated unless they have a valid medical or religious exemption and 73 percent support a policy requiring vaccines or a weekly COVID-19 test.
A separate poll of the full membership—including teachers, higher education workers, nurses and public employees—shows 9 out 10 report being vaccinated and another 3 percent either have a vaccination appointment or say they will likely get vaccinated.
It indicates strategies to convince the small minority of educators who are unvaccinated include connecting them with trusted messengers to provide information on the vaccines such as their doctor, pharmacist, the CDC, and their coworkers.
On the issue of vaccine mandates, support is similarly strong among teachers (67 percent) and paraprofessionals (65 percent) and exceeds 60 percent in every region of the country. Educators of color voice particularly strong support for a mandate—78 percent among Black members, 73 percent among Hispanic members—as do those at high personal risk for COVID-19 (74 percent) and those with someone in their household at high risk (75 percent).
The policies were important, respondents said, to protect the health and safety of educators, their coworkers, their families and their students. They voiced very strong support for the principle in the AFT Executive Council's resolution that their union should negotiate vaccine policies with districts, so that school staff have a voice in how such policies are implemented, with 82 percent in favor.
AFT President Randi Weingarten said: "This poll is proof positive that the hard work educators have been doing for months to get vaccinated, promote the shot and work with employers on vaccine requirements has paid dividends. Educators know that safety was the pathway back to in-person learning and is the key to staying back—a combination of vaccines, masking, ventilation, physical distancing and planning for an outbreak. They are doing everything they can to make that happen."
From August 10 to 15, 2021, Hart Research Associates conducted a telephone survey among 1,204 AFT members on the issue of COVID-19 vaccination. The survey has a margin of error of ±3.2%.
Hart conducted a text-to-web survey from August 26 to 29, 2021 among 2,008 active AFT K-12 members (1,417 teachers, 591 PSRPs), on the issue of COVID-19 vaccination policies. The survey has a margin of error of ±2.2 percentage points.

So I love how Frankenbear is the colored part of your profile photo lol. Also, your background is kinda badass. But that Catatonia song just blasted in my headphones and totally scared the crap out of me. This is all relevant.
On May 19, 2009, Big Light's social network turns one year old. Please up us celebrate the 1st anniversary by joining us in a party.
Since we are a worldwide fandom, and taking a cue from the XFN project, this will be an international project.
Using the creative talents of Anelisse, Gomnitus, and Yellowbee, please submit a video (or photos) telling Uncle Frank of the positive experiences you've had here with folks on Biglight. These can be Phile events you have been part of, finding other Philes in your area, or thanking him for creating this site. Entries can be solo or with a group; in your native language or English.
We are anticipating a HUGE turnout, so please read and follow the submission guidelines below.
The deadline for submission is APRIL 30, 2009.
Let's make this party happen and thank Uncle Frank for the wonderful site he created.
oh. I'm soo sorry for that. Well, yeah. Many fans said that he is generous and kind and selfless and all that things. Omg, I hope I would meet him someday. :) So how have you been this past few days?
And I'm glad you're felling better and have a clean bill of health. That is very important.
The first one, codenamed Project March, will be unveiled in a few weeks time. The finished product will take some more time, but I will need the help of fans and.. other folks..... in order to make this project sucesfull.

Thanks!!!! maybe you can help me with something... I don't know how far I am abllowed to go with questioning him, but do you think I could ask him about just a few scores on sheets??? Just a few messures.To have examples for my thesis, that I don't have to listen to every single scene and write it down by myself... cause that is really hard work! And even harder when he uses sounds and stuff.

Bilderberg Attendee list 2012 out before conference opens!
Bilderberg.org Forum Index -> Bilderberg Conference 2012: 31May-01June Chantilly, Virginia, USA.
vicflame
Committed Poster
Posted: Thu May 31, 2012 8:07 pm Post subject: Bilderberg Attendee list 2012 out before conference opens!
A list coming directly from Bilderberg ? I'm not really confident. Plus, there mighty be "unofficial attendees"... Vic.
Source : http://www.prisonplanet.com/bilderberg-releases-official-attendee-list-and-press-release.html
BILDERBERG RELEASES OFFICIAL ATTENDEE LIST AND PRESS RELEASE
In an uncharacteristic move, the official Bilderberg Meeting website has released a press release and attendee list for 2012 before the conference has officially started. Both are posted below:
The 60th Bilderberg Meeting will be held in Chantilly, Virginia, USA from 31 May – 3 June 2012. The Conference will deal mainly with political, economic and societal issues like Transatlantic Relations, Evolution of the Political Landscape in Europe and the US, Austerity and Growth in Developed Economies, Cyber Security, Energy Challenges, the Future of Democracy, Russia, China and the Middle East.
Approximately 145 participants will attend of whom about two-thirds come from Europe and the balance from North America and other countries. About one-third is from government and politics, and two-thirds are from finance, industry, labor, education, and communications. The meeting is private in order to encourage frank and open discussion.
Bilderberg takes its name from the hotel in Holland, where the first meeting took place in May 1954. That pioneering meeting grew out of the concern expressed by leading citizens on both sides of the Atlantic that Western Europe and North America were not working together as closely as they should on common problems of critical importance. It was felt that regular, off-the-record discussions would help create a better understanding of the complex forces and major trends affecting Western nations in the difficult post-war period.
The Cold War has now ended. But in practically all respects there are more, not fewer, common problems – from trade to jobs, from monetary policy to investment, from ecological challenges to the task of promoting international security. It is hard to think of any major issue in either Europe or North America whose unilateral solution would not have repercussions for the other.
Thus the concept of a European-American forum has not been overtaken by time. The dialogue between these two regions is still – even increasingly – critical.
What is unique about Bilderberg as a forum is the broad cross-section of leading citizens that are assembled for nearly three days of informal and off-the-record discussion about topics of current concern especially in the fields of foreign affairs and the international economy; the strong feeling among participants that in view of the differing attitudes and experiences of the Western nations, there remains a clear need to further develop an understanding in which these concerns can be accommodated; the privacy of the meetings, which has no purpose other than to allow participants to speak their minds openly and freely.
In short, Bilderberg is a small, flexible, informal and off-the-record international forum in which different viewpoints can be expressed and mutual understanding enhanced.
Bilderberg's only activity is its annual Conference. At the meetings, no resolutions are proposed, no votes taken, and no policy statements issued. Since 1954, fifty-nine conferences have been held. The names of the participants are made available to the press. Participants are chosen for their experience, their knowledge, and their standing; all participants attend Bilderberg in a private and not an official capacity.
For further information refer to www.bilderbergmeetings.org. A list of participants is attached.

Demonstrators heckle Bilderberg attendees
Threaten jail, allege plans for re-education camps
By Ben Wolfgang - The Washington Times - Thursday, May 31, 2012
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/may/31/demonstrators-heckle-bilderberg-attendees/
International power brokers arriving in Chantilly for the 2012 Bilderberg conference were treated to a rude welcome by a raucous crowd of about 200 demonstrators Thursday afternoon.
As black limousines and SUVs pulled into the secluded Westfields Marriott hotel, the site of this year's annual meeting of the world's richest and most influential, the protesters, many of whom wielded megaphones, shouted them down.
Even hotel employees weren't immune.
"Don't serve these criminals," one man shouted as members of the wait staff drove onto the hotel grounds.
The Bilderberg gathering, given its name after the first meeting at the Netherlands' Bilderberg hotel in 1954, is viewed in conspiracy lore as the central planning session for an eventual one-world government. The European debt crisis is rumored to be at the top of this year's Bilderberg agenda, but, among members of the crowd, opinions differed about what was being discussed inside.
"They're talking about Mitt Romney's running mate and they're talking about setting up re-education camps for all of us," said Ross Mullaney, 21, who drove to Northern Virginia from his home in New Hampshire.
Like most of the other demonstrators, Mr. Mullaney said he was inspired to make the trek by the work of Alex Jones, radio host and leading voice in American alternative media. An iconic figure among his listeners, Mr. Jones is also one of the loudest critics of the Bilderberg group.
He led the tongue-lashing as Henry Kissinger, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt, Goldman Sachs International Chairman Peter Sutherland, World Trade Organization Director-General Pascal Lamy and about 150 other Bilderberg attendees showed up for the meeting, which officially began Thursday afternoon and continues through the weekend.
"You're going to prison, scumbags," he shouted at a dark limo with tinted windows as it turned slowly into the hotel, the entrances to which were closely guarded by dozens of Fairfax County police officers.
Demonstrators were kept confined to grassy areas outside the facility's main gate. While law enforcement was strict in keeping everyone away from the vehicles and off the hotel grounds, no one was arrested, and there were no serious incidents, officers told The Washington Times.
But police also have warned members of the press that anyone attempting to get into the hotel would be arrested. Guests, including Mr. Jones and his crew, were kicked out of the hotel before the conference began.
Rumors were circulating among the crowd that federal law enforcement had set up machine-gun nests atop the hotel, though those reports couldn't be confirmed.
Often mocked by the mainstream media, Mr. Jones and his listeners think that inside the Westfields hotel, world leaders, bankers and business titans are plotting the death of democracy and the replacement of the U.S. government and those of other nations with a centralized global power structure.
They're willing to take extreme measures to combat it.
Zac Bergholtz, a 21-year-old college student from Nashville, Tenn., said that after he began listening to Mr. Jones' show, he grew concerned that medical vaccines given to his young son weren't designed to protect him. Like others in the crowd, he fears the medicines are meant to squelch brain power and make ordinary people easier to control by authorities.
He's stopped giving his son, now almost 2 years old, any doctor-recommended vaccines. Mr. Bergholtz also said that the increased use of police and military drones is the first step in "taking the humanity out of the humans."
Bilderberg attendees appear to pay virtually no attention to Mr. Jones, Mr. Bergholtz or the other protesters who show up like clockwork at the meeting each year, even when it's held in remote locations, such as last year's gathering in the Swiss Alps.
The mysterious group releases little information about the conference, though it did on Thursday afternoon put out a list of this year's participants. Critics believe the list is by no means complete, and many high-profile persons — such as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton — are present but intentionally left off the official roster.
The full list is posted at bilderbergmeetings.org.
Transnational elite policy networks such as Bilderberg are an integral, and to some extent critical, part of the existing system of global governance. The practical problem is not so much that they exist, although we could talk about this ad infinitum, it is instead related to what they are doing and why they are doing it. It is here that our elites have been found most wanting. Their self-serving acceptance and peddling of dominant market logics, their fundamental lack of criticality and a lack of meaningful progress in the area of global social and political development is threatening the very peace and prosperity we look to them to provide.
I've never considered myself a radical. Like many people, I've been schooled in the belief that ideology and zero sum politics are dangerous things, that discussion and compromise are infinitely preferable to confrontation and dogma, that anger and violence have no place in a modern progressive society, and that we should vilify and distrust those who suggest otherwise. At heart, I still share these views but something has changed. My sense of fairness, pragmatism and reasonableness has been shaken to the core by the gross injustices of our society and the pervasive incompetence and corruption of our business and political elites. We face a fundamental crisis of legitimacy where engagement with -- and trust in -- our political systems is at an all-time low. Rightly or wrongly, Bilderberg has become a poster child for everything we fear, distrust and loathe about our policy elites. It's not, first and foremost, that our sensibilities have been spiked by systems that are undemocratic -- because, in a meaningful sense, they never have been -- but, critically, the knowledge that they're not acting in the interests of the whole. Our elites have failed us and, what's more, will continue to fail us unless we make them do otherwise.

Bilderberg meeting 2012: Everyone not invited
http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/01-06-2012/121288-bilderberg_2012-0/
By Xavier Lerma
Near Washington, D.C., the Bilderberg meeting started Thursday, May 31 at Chantilly, Virginia, USA at the Marriott Hotel and will end June 3, 2012. Peasants like you and me are not allowed in that hotel. A concerned citizen booked a room way in advance but was later kicked out from the Marriott Hotel in this video.
Real Investigative Journalists
The mainstream media avoids them but only a few brave souls like Abby Martin from RT , Alex Jones from Infowars.com and the Guardian's Charlie Skelton's are doing the best to report the situation. Make sure to check their websites and videos for the latest news on the Bilderberg meeting.
The Bilderbergs are people who say they are helping humanity so they can make a buck, but are as arrogant as Lucifer and no more sympathetic than he is towards mankind. They live under the "golden rule". Whoever has the gold makes the rules. Rockefeller himself admitted they are conspiring against the best interests of the Unites States to form a one world government.
New World Order Illegal
Why is the Bilderberg meeting a big deal. Well, for one thing it is illegal under the Logan Act which makes their New world Order illegal. Under the Logan Act a U.S. citizen without the authority of the U.S. cannot make deals with people from other countries. Obama and Hillary met secretly with the Bilderbergs on June 6, 2008 at the Marriott Hotel in Chantilly, Virginia.
No wonder Obama refused to go in 2008 to the Normandy memorial services commemorating D-Day June 6, 1944. Sounds like impeachment to me but congress says it will cause black people to riot everywhere. In other words, congress got paid off too. If life's realities have not hit you in the face yet, you can be sure the Bilderbergs did not mention your name wondering what was best for you.
They did not ask themselves like a church social wondering how they can help you and me. I can just imagine Soros asking, "I wonder how I can help Mr. Lerma today? What can we do to improve his situation in life?" No, it's all about them. Money is their key focus. It is their heart.
Has anyone ever been arrested? No one has been arrested for violating the Logan Act. Only journalists and protesters have been arrested. The Washington Times reported "A perimeter of about a half-mile has been set up around the Northern Virginia hotel, and all non-Bilderberg guests reportedly were kicked out of their rooms." If anyone gets too close they will be arrested. Paul Watson of Infowars.com reported two people were arrested for photographing the Bilderberg limousines. Why would they arrest people taking pictures of a limousine? I guess some Bilderbergers prefer anonymity which makes taking photos against their law.
Who is part of the Bilderberg meeting?
Well, you can be sure few Russians are there. There are hateful critics of Russia's beloved Vladimir Putin like Garry Kasparov of the United Civil Front. Many are from the USA like Senator and former presidential candidate, John Kerry; German-born and Nixon's Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger; Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels; Google's Executive Chairman, Eric Schmidt; LinkedIn Co-founder and Executive Chairman, Reid Hoffman; Alcoa's Chairman and CEO, Klaus Kleinfeld; Dow Chemical Company's President, Chairman and CEO, Andrew Liveris; Harvard University's Professor of Economics, Kenneth Rogoff. Bill Gates is not there but Microsoft Corporation's Chief Research and Strategy Officer, Craig Mundie is there. They are all big wigs.
I don't see Soros' name on there but who can really trust them to include everyone posted on their website? German Chancellor Angela Merkel had been spotted according to Alex Jones' information. David Rockefeller was also reported to attend as usual but has not been seen yet.
Soros was a Nazis collaborator and the Bilderbergs were started by German born Prince Bernhard (video / photo of him with Nazis salute) who was a member of the Nazis party and the infamous SS (Schutzstaffel). If you doubt, click the links, research it yourself and read some history. Most of the links in this article are videos. I once thought the Bilderbergs were another UFO-like conspiracy made up to make money and sell stories. However, it's very suspicious that the mainstream media is of one mind and ignores the Bildergbergs especially when the media even reports on UFO's from time to time.
What are they Planning?
So what are the Bilderbergs planning this time? Some say they are planning who the next U.S. president will be and choosing his vice president. A logical assumption since this is an election year. However, is this not America where the people choose the president? Where all the media blamed Russia and Putin for voter fraud? Unfortunately, things have not been good in America ever since President Kennedy was assassinated and the Communists took over.
The American dilemma
Americans have their own Iwo Jima to fight on their own land if they want their freedom back. It is more difficult now since the emasculation of America was started years ago. Instead of yelling "Sparta", they need to yell in defense of America. Protesting and challenging the Bilderbergs can be done with the new and advanced social media. Perhaps a third independent party can evolve to fulfill the dreams of 1776. Once Americans unite they can raise their flag of freedom over their country and the brave souls who died in past battles like Iwo Jima can rest in peace knowing they did not die in vain.
Russia has nothing to fear since they have a strong defender in Vladimir Putin. China invites capitalism but is a dangerous dragon to those who threaten it. The Western world needs to unite to stop these elitists who can only grind their heel in tyranny over most of the west. Exposing these condescending snobs has been done by brave reporters. Now the job is yours to spread the word because your freedom is at stake.

The f113v2 is the third product of the Fathom® line-up, offering 3000 watts of power to drive its single 13.5-inch active driver.
Because it is built with the same driver and amplifier technology as JL Audio's flagship Gotham®, the f113v2 delivers a tremendous level of sound quality. Low distortion, excellent dynamic capabilities and shockingly deep bass extension will allow you to experience all the excitement of the most demanding cinematic material, while also being able to reproduce all the nuance and texture of your most delicate musical material.
A complete set of signal processing features is easily accessible on the front surface of every Fathom. These include a highly flexible low-pass filter, variable phase, switchable polarity, e.l.f. trim and JL Audio's powerful Digital Automatic Room Optimization (D.A.R.O.) system. A calibrated microphone is included for the D.A.R.O. system. Input connections are made via unbalanced RCA connections or balanced Neutrik® combo XLR/TRS jacks. Also included is an XLR output to connect a second Fathom® as a slave unit.
Digital Automatic Room Optimisation (D.A.R.O) 18-Band Digital Automatic Room Optimisation (D.A.R.O) with included laboratory grade calibration microphone, defeatable.
To face this dilemma head on, JL Audio subwoofer systems incorporate a clever piece of technology called Digital Automatic Room Optimisation (D.A.R.O.).
The D.A.R.O. system self-generates a series of calibration tones, measures the response at the listening position and automatically configures an 18-band, 1/6 octave equalizer for a flat end-result.
The system effectively allows for smooth, well balanced sub-bass from a variety of locations that may have been less than ideal without D.A.R.O.
You won't need a computer or any other external equipment, and you won't need to navigate and manipulate complex interfaces… D.A.R.O is a fine example of technology in the service of man, if there was one.
This proprietary, discrete control circuit design allows our Class D switching amplifiers to maintain an excellent damping factor for improved transient behaviour and fidelity.

SaintsPlay - Adapting Sport to Less Active People
Lisa Laing has worked in the AFL Industry for 14 years, 9 years in the AFL leading a team responsible for membership services across the AFL Industry and 5 years St Kilda FC initially leading the Consumer Business and currently the Saints Community Engagement and Football programs. Lisa is an alumni of the Leadership Victoria FOLIO Community Leadership Program and is passionate about bringing social issues to the fore through the powerful voice of elite sports people and clubs.
Graphical summary and transcript
Hey, thank you very much for having me here this afternoon. And I'm really thrilled to be here to speak to you about a journey that the St Kilda football club has taken. A program that we've just launched this year.
A program that's called Saints Play. And Saints Play is a program, it's an Auskicks like program that's helping to impact the lives of young children with developmental challenges and intellectual disabilities. And it's a program that we've seen the pilot complete, and having seen that pilot completed, we would dream that any child with a developmental challenge or intellectual disability has the opportunity to participate in an AFL program with their own community.
And I'm going to touch a little bit today about the AFL landscape, about closing gaps, about partnerships and also about adapting our sport to meet a need. And Saints Play is a program about connection, belonging, and about individuals. And it's a program that is intrinsic and part of the St. Kilda football club's heart.
I'll talk about St. Kilda football club journey and I'll also talk about it through the journey of young 9 nine year old Saige Ball.
So St. Kilda football club is a football club that was born from and resides still in the bayside of Melbourne. It's been around for 145 years and more. Port Melbourne to Port Sea, is what we call our bayside backyard. And it is through the continued support of that bayside community we still continue to exist today. I'm going to introduce you to Saige Ball.
Saige Ball was born into a Saints family. Generations of Saint's members and volunteers who proudly wear the red, white and black. Saige's mom proudly describes Saige as a girly-girl. And as you can see on the screen, she's a girl who loves to play the violin, who loves to play the cello, she loves to play with her dolls, and she loves to wear a tutu. She's also a girl who has had no interest in playing sport, and so Saige is a child with autism.
My name is Lisa Lang, and I am the general manager of community at St. Kilda football club. And my role is really focused on delivering football programs and community engagement programs into our bayside community, and creating opportunities with the community that connect back with us. I've been very fortunate and very proud to lead programs in LGBTYQ, deaf and homelessness inclusion within our club. Supporting returning veterans, families with children with cancer, helping young people discover and build on their strengths. And wheelchair athletes realizing their dreams of playing for an AFL team.
I really think I have one of the best jobs in the AFL.
AFL, sorry, in Australia as you know, sport is a national pastime. It's an intrinsic part of growing up and a way of life, and in Victoria, AFL is a sport of choice, but many people in the room may not agree with that.
We talk about success in the AFL in volumes. 45,000 members of a football club, 600,000 supporters, 50,000 attendees at a football game. And we have measured our football success in our bayside region by junior participation. We are 15,000 children playing AFL competition every week through the winter. We have 6,500 children that participate in Auskick programs. That's 21,5000 children in our own bayside backyard that are playing some sort of football every year.
Our Saints Play program though is on a program is not based on volume. It's a program that's really based around deeper connection and changing the lives of just a few.
In 2016, I was introduced to 2 organizations that were making amazing difference through research but involved children with developmental challenges and participation in sport. Deacon University's Child Study Center who were launching an All Play website. All Play was a research and resource play platform for children, coaches, clubs, and parents around sport. And Moose Toys. Moose Toys is an Australian toy company that is located in Cheltenham and is owned by amazing Saints supporters of Deacon's All Play research.
From this first meeting that we had, we came up with the idea for a singular football club to host the launching of the All Play website. And to host the first football prelim day. A prelim day was introducing families with children with differing abilities to Auskick, to try a few of the Auskick activities and to hopefully then join an Auskick center. This meeting was also my first introduction to understanding that one in five children have a development challenge or intellectual disability.
And when I thought about those numbers and though about our participation that was in our bayside community I realized that we were still probably missing out on 20% of children because we were not offering them a program that they could feel comfortable in and participate in, in a sport that is most loved by Victorians.
We went ahead and launched the All Play website and first prelim day in early 2017.
And my team and I were so inspired by the work that we saw, that Deacon that Moose were achieving and also by the families that had taken a chance and given this program an opportunity to come and see what it was about. The smiles on the faces of those young children as they left that afternoon, having had an afternoon playing football was just something really special and we knew that they had had a great experience.
We knew that we would continue to run this prelim day with Deacon going forward but we also knew that we wanted to do so much more and there was more that we could do.
We went back and we investigated further into our bayside region. One that had the densest region of football clubs, junior football clubs and Auskick centers in Victoria, and we realized there were very few that have Auskick availabilities approved. In fact, three Auskick facilities out of our 53 in our bayside region were offering a program for children with differing abilities. And yet in that same region, we have 12 special development schools. So there's another gap. A large number of children that are attending special development schools, there's no opportunity for them to participate in our sport.
Later on that year Vic Health launched their 2017 innovation challenge. That challenge is challenging sporting organizations to find ways to make their sport more accessible for more people and to make more Victorians active. So we want to take this idea and put an idea to submit to the innovation challenge around this gap of being a prelim day and then joining an Auskick center. Knowing that that one experience of prelim day was not enough to then have the confidence to join an Auskick center and there was something really missing.
So we evolved our thinking with our program which we've called Saints Play, and we wanted to run that into special development schools in our region as a four week, fully funded program for children to engage in our sport in an environment in which they are already comfortable in and also as a 6 week program.
I'm calling that our Auskick Apprenticeship program. A 6 week program for children to come and learn more skills and get more comfort in understanding football, before they might transition to an Auskik center and also an apprenticeship program for some of our community coaches to come and learn and gain skills, hands on skills, on how to coach children with different abilities.
So those were where the partnership pieces comes in. So within our partnership Deacon and with AFL we submitted our idea to the Vic Health Innovation Challenge and we were really thrilled to find out that we were the winner of that seed funding to go and put our program into place and to really start making a difference. So we saw Saints Play as an opportunity to take that Deacon groundbreaking research, put it into practice at the grassroots level and make AFL more accessible to more families in our bayside region.
Saige Ball kind of comes into play a little bit here again, though she wasn't interested in sport. Her Saints family enrolled her into a prelim day that we were hosting in 2018. Saige came to that day. She had a great time engaging in the sport and at the club. And she met and made a great connection with a wonderful Auskick coordinator from a local Auskick center. And coincidentally the following week we were launching our Saints Play school program into Saige's primary school, so she had two hits at football. One at this prelim day, and four weeks into her school.
While we are looking at this, we're still looking at how we're going to build Auskick Apprenticeship Start Program. So went to Deacon with challenges that faced families with these children in being able to participate in our programs. And we looked at what we could really do to break those down and make it more accessible.
So first we looked at the numbers, we were offering our children to two regions in bayside in the north and the south and we offered it out and had really limited numbers at 25 into each of our programs, and that was to make sure that we could have the coach ratio to student to children that were participating.
We also looked at no commitment. People didn't have to log or sign up for a 6 or 12 week program, they could come on a day when they were available, and if they weren't able to come, they weren't able to come. We reduced the length of time of our sessions to only about 45 to 50 minutes. We introduced, as you can see on the board, some visual kind of displays to help those children visually as well as verbally the skills we were trying to teach them.
We had it in indoors, so weather through the winter wasn't a concern for children. And we had a real diverse group of coaches. We wanted this to be a real place where players and coaches could learn with hands on experience and be supported in working with children of differing abilities.
So engaged a number of coaches across a whole diverse range of age, gender, culture. We engaged wheelchair teams so we had coaches that had physical disabilities, and we also had a coach with an intellectual disability. All of our coaches went through disability awareness training, which is conducted by Deacon's All Play team and they received feedback across that 6 weeks, and feedback post-program completing.
So we've now piloted this program across two regions. We've had some great feedback, both positive and constructive from our parents and our coaches to help us really move this program forward.
We've had 37 children who've kind of graduated from our Saints Play Auskick Apprenticeship Style Program. We have had many families make contact with us to see when we were going to being running another program. And as importantly we have had 14 coaches that have now come and had training, hands on experience with working with children with disabilities. And are much more skilled in being to go back and take the skills back to their local community clubs and Auskick centers.
So, Saige, again, Saige has had an amazing football career in 2018. She joined a prelim day. She participated in a 4 week skills program. And with that experience and confidence she enjoying her Auskick Center. The Auskick Center where she had made that connection at the prelim day with a coach. She would arrive at Auskick early every day to help set up and she'd leave late every time to help pack down. And at the end of that Auskick season she still hadn't had enough of football so she came and joined our Saints Play Auskick Apprenticeship Style Program at our (12:05) facility.
So if a little girl who had had no interest in sports has certainly come a long way in 2018 and become fully entrenched. And from all of this we have a lot of hopes and dreams about our Saints Play Program. We hope to be able to deliver our Saints School program into every special development school in Victoria.
We hope to be able to run our Saints Play Auskick Apprenticeship Style Program through every school term in 2019 in our bayside region and hopefully broader into Victoria as well. We want our two hubs that we set up to be real community coached development hubs so that they can really get hands on experience and use that to take those skills back to their own Auskick centers and their junior clubs to make them more accessible for more kids.
And for the kids that come through our program, we hope that when they are ready to graduate and transition to a junior club or an Auskick center we can help them do that and they can continue on with their football careers.
I'd like to finish today just with a short video that really showcases the work that Saige's is putting into 2018. And hope you can see the joy on her face as she really takes part in football.
We've come for?
Footy!
The Saints Play's a program developed for 5 to 13 year old children to come down and try football for the first time for the most of kids that come down on the Autism spectrum or have ADHD or learning difficulties.
I didn't think AFL would be good at all for Saige, but we saw the free trial day, I just though, well we may as well give it a go. Low and behold she loved it.
The opportunity that Vic Health presented through their innovation challenge for sport is just fantastic, we are very lucky to receive funding which has enabled us to test the market to kids on the Autism spectrum who want to play Auskick. Hopefully we proved that. A really important aspect of our program is the chill out zone. Let the kids relax if they need a little bit of time out before they join back in.
One of the great participants we had has been Saige. We visited her school, did a 4 week intro to football program at her school and then we found out that she's transitioned back to Bowmar Auskick, one of the Auskick's we're working with. That's what it's all about.
