Car infotainment explained: What is Audi Connect and how does it work?
A detailed look at all of the connected and smartphone features from Audi in 2020
Alistair Charlton
Welcome to the first installment of a new series from GearBrain, where we take a deep dive into the connected features of today's biggest car companies.
Starting with Audi in this article, we will look at the internet-connected features of various cars, plus how your smartphone works with them. This isn't just a case of using Bluetooth for streaming calls and music, but also addresses Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and digs deep into the car's own applications, connected services, and smartphone apps.

Without further ado, here is everything you need to know about Audi's connected car and infotainment systems, including Audi Connect and the company's 'MMI' system.
What is Audi Connect and what can it do?
As tempting as it is to hook up a smartphone and exclusively use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, we're going to park those for now and focus on Audi's own system, called Audi Connect.
Primarily a system for accessing the car's navigation, plus your phone's contacts and calendar events, Audi Connect has three main components, called Connect Care, Connect Prime and Connect Plus.
The first is designed for emergency situations, allowing you to make an SOS call through the car if you have an accident, or call up roadside assistance. Unlike some SOS systems from other manufacturers, this is available at no additional cost for the lifetime of the vehicle.
Audi Connect Care includes free SOS emergency callingAudi
Connect Care also includes remote locking and unlocking of the car, via the free myAudi app for iPhone and Android. The app contains a car-finder feature for locating your car if you can't remember where you parked, and Care also helps law enforcement locate your vehicle if it is stolen.
Owners of the electric Audi E-Tron gain additional Connect Care features, including trip planning with charge stops taken into consideration, remote control of the interior temperature from your phone, and control over how the car charges its battery, also via the app.
Connect Prime and Connect Plus both come with a free six-month trial with all new Audis, after which you can stop using them, or pay for a subscription.
These are not particularly cheap. Connect Prime is priced at $199 for six months or $499 for 18 months. Connect Plus is a more reasonable $10 per month if using your smartphone's data connection, or $25 a month for the car's own unlimited data service.
Prime features include Google Earth mapping imagery in the car's navigation system, a voice assistant that uses natural language to control things like the cabin temperature, and Amazon Alexa integration for asking questions, playing music and controlling your smart home devices.

Finally there is Connect Plus, which creates a Wi-Fi network in your car, to which you can connect devices like smartphones and tablets. Connect Plus also includes internet radio streaming, and access to Amazon Music.
Data for the entire Connect system is received via the car's own SIM card, which is either embedded and hidden from sight, or found in a slot in the glove box.
What is Audi MMI?
The lower touchscreen is used for climate controlAudi
Standing for man and machine interface, MMI is the user interface of Audi's infotainment system. This is split across three digital displays; one acting as an instrument panel behind the steering wheel, one in the center of the dashboard for maps and entertainment, and a screen below this for controlling the climate, heated seats, and other key systems. The latter is pictured above.
This lower screen can also be used to write on with your finger to enter information, like a destination for the navigation system. In some models this display is replaced by a more traditional scroll wheel that can be rotated, pressed, tapped and swiped across to navigate around the interface. This is pictured below.

The instrument display behind the steering wheel can show a traditional speedometer and rev counter, with temperature and fuel gauges either side. Or these can be made smaller, giving way to a large map display taking up most of the screen.
Do Audis have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
For the 2020 model year onwards, all Audi vehicles are equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard. Wireless CarPlay is also on some models, but as with most manufacturers this is still somewhat limited in its availability for now.
Is there a smartphone app available for Audi cars?
The myAudi app for iPhone and AndroidAudi
As we mentioned earlier, the free myAudi app for iOS and Android lets you lock and unlock the car remotely. You can also check the windows, hood, tailgate and sunroof are closed, and that the lights are off. The app shows how much fuel or battery charge is remaining, along with the expected range, the current mileage of your car, and any warnings that its computer is currently displaying (such as low oil or incorrect tire pressure).
The app tells you how many miles or days to go until your next service and oil change, and helps locate your nearest dealer. Alerts can be set up for if your car leaves a certain geofenced area (so you know if your children have driven somewhere they shouldn't), or breaches a certain speed.
Finally, valet mode can be enabled in the app to restrict the car's performance and functionality while someone else, like the hotel valet, is driving it.
There is also an Apple Watch app to show your remaining range, total mileage, if any windows are open, and the location of your car.

That's what mom and grandma said… "Always smiling". And he was! Sure, he had a few moments of non-smiling action, but hey, it's expected. Big sister and brother were just as cute as ever too. It was fun! Can't wait until the next session… It's one of my fav ages!

US Senator Tammy Baldwin introduces Digital Coast Act
US, September 19, 2014: US Senator Tammy Baldwin on September 18 introduced the Digital Coast Act to help Wisconsin communities along the Great Lakes better prepare for storms, cope with varying lake levels, and strengthen economic development planning efforts along the shore.
Introducing the bill, Senator Baldwin said, "This bill ensures that our coastal communities have the resources and tools they need to adapt to changing environmental conditions, maintain healthy shores, and make smart planning decisions to support their local economies and way of life."
The Digital Coast is a geospatially-enabled program to perk up coordination and support work with stakeholders to spot geospatial priorities; better coordination of coastal mapping and management activities; deploy standardised methods for data acquisition, processing, and distribution; promote best practices when applying geospatial data for coastal decision making; and contract for the collection and creation of quality non-navigation feature data sets to include: shoreline change, satellite and aerial imagery, benthic habitat mapping, land use and land cover maps, terrestrial topography, submerged aquatic vegetation and shallow water bathymetry.
Currently, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) assembles and hosts the Digital Coast Project. NOAA also trains coastal communities how to decipher and use the high-tech mapping data to make accurate decisions and smart investments in coastal communities.
Baldwin's Digital Coast Act authorises the next phase in coastal mapping at NOAA by ensuring that coastal managers and developers will continue to have the data to make smart choices for economic development, shoreline management and coastal restoration. The Act supports further development of the current project, including increasing access to uniform, up-to-date data, to help communities get the coastal data they need to respond to emergencies, plan for long-term coastal resilience, and manage their water resources.
MAPPS, the national association of private sector geospatial firms, has welcomed the move. MAPPS President Jeff Lower said, "Greater emphasis has been paid to monitoring sea level rise, coastal conservation and emergency preparedness and response in the wake of natural and manmade disasters. This Digital Coast Act will coordinate the pooling of resources from multiple agencies (Federal, state, and local) and other stakeholders to map the various needs once, and then utilize and apply the high-quality data and products numerous times, thus reducing taxpayer waste while maximizing the return on investment for all stakeholders."

Ambunda will put his prized International Boxing Organisation (IBO) super bantamweight world title on the line against undefeated Fulton on 11 May at the Eaglebank Arena in Fairfax, Virginia, USA, Ringstar Asia announced on its website yesterday.
At an advanced age of 38, Ambunda continues to defy Mother Nature with scintillating performances in the ring and subsequently entrenching his name on the global boxing arena. Towards the end of last year, Ambunda outsmarted Singaporean fighter Muhamad Ridhwan to capture the coveted IBO super bantamweight world title.
Before overcoming Ridhwan in Singapore for the IBO crown, Ambunda made easy work of Tanzania's Nasibu Ramadhan at The Dome in Swakopmund to clinch the World Boxing Council (WBC) international silver super bantamweight title.
Now presented with another opportunity stretch his dominance on the international stage, the Namibian former WBO world champion will be expected to throw the entire kitchen sink at the 24-year old Fulton when they lock horns next month in the US.
Ambunda, who will be fighting in the US for the first time in his professional career, will face tough competition in the young and furious Fulton who is yet to taste defeat in his 15 professional fights. The experienced Namibian boasts 27 wins and 2 losses from 29 fights and will look to put up a decent show on foreign soil.
Fulton will be fighting for the second time this year and has secured two knockouts in his 15 bouts, while Ambunda once held the WBO bantamweight title in 2013, but unprecedentedly lost the title to Japan's Tomoki Kameda in his first defense. Since then, Ambunda has won seven of his last eight fights.


I found Matt Lee professional, dependable and fanatical about driving which provided me with confidence, enabling me to pass my driving test the 1st time with 3 minors. Matt is a delight to be around and can be approached whilst being professional at the same time.
At first, I was anxious and uneducated about driving however; my driving knowledge, ability and confidence expanded over a short period of time due to Matt's encouragement. Matt did not put me under any anxiety at all at anytime but listened to me and provided support whenever I required it. Matt was my 1st driving instructor and I'm delighted I decided to opt for him.
Overall, I would recommend Matt Lee to anybody who is thinking of taking driving lessons due to his wide range of abilities and in general his approach towards getting the best out of new drivers and coaching them basic and sophisticated knowledge of the roads. I had such a great time learning to drive with Matt and urge people to choose Matt Lee before anyone else!

The processor architecture behind Apple's A7 and A8 chips is getting an incremental upgrade.
ARM, whose processor designs are used in most mobile devices, is adding features to its ARMv8.1-A architecture that could improve the security and speed of chips.
The new architecture is an upgrade from the existing ARMv8-A, which is in Apple's A8 and also chips for Android devices.
The impact of these changes will be felt more on larger systems than mobile devices, said David Brash, architecture program director at ARM's Architecture and Technology Group, in a blog entry.
The new features could impact performance on servers, a new market for ARM. Advanced Micro Devices, Cavium, AppliedMicro and Qualcomm are among a handful of companies that have made or are investigating ARM-based server chips.
The first test chips from the new ARMv8.1-A architecture are expected next year, which is also when upgrades will also be made to the Linux kernel and software development tools.
Apple, which made the first 64-bit mobile chip based on ARMv8-A, will likely jump to the new architecture. It usually takes time for a new processor architecture to appear in devices, as exemplified by ARMv8-A, which was introduced in 2011 and appeared in the iPhone 5S last year.
"It is important to recognize that introduction of these enhancements into new cores will take several years, and other design choices can have a much greater impact on system performance," Brash wrote.
ARM currently has 57 ARMv8-A processor and architecture licenses, and more products like 64-bit Android tablets and smartphones are expected to appear in the coming years.
The incremental updates in ARMv8.1-A revolve around memory addressing, security, virtualization and throughput. ARMv8-A code will run on v8.1 cores.
ARM made the instruction-set architecture upgrades by working with partners, Brash wrote in the blog entry.

Apparently The World's Top Ob-Gyns Don't Agree With Meghan Markle's At-Home Birth Plan
By Emily Shiffer
Samir HusseinGetty Images
Meghan Markle gave birth Monday, welcoming a son with Prince Harry.
It's unclear where Meghan gave birth, but many believe she had an at-home birth at Frogmore Cottage.
The top obstetricians and gynecologists at the recent annual meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists poked fun at Meghan's at-home birth plan.
The wait is over—Meghan Markle and Prince Harry finally welcomed the newest addition to the British royal family Monday: a baby boy.
While it's unclear where exactly Meghan gave birth, she was rumored to be contemplating an at-home birth with a midwife and a doula at Frogmore Cottage, per the Daily Mail—slightly different from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's hospital birth plan.
Turns out, the top obstetricians and gynecologists of the world had some...thoughts about Meghan's plan. At the recent annual meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in Nashville, the world's leading ob-gyns were actually cracking jokes and throwing shade at the Duchess' at-home birth idea.
A notice of birth has gone on display on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace following the birth of The Duke and Duchess of Sussexes' son. It is tradition that this goes on display on a ceremonial easel for members of the public to view for approximately 24 hours. @sussexroyal
A post shared by The Royal Family (@theroyalfamily) on May 6, 2019 at 9:15am PDT
According to Daily Mail, one of the doctors, Dr. Timothy Draycott, envoy of the Royal College of Gynecology, said "Meghan Markle has decided she's going to have a doula and a willow tree...let's see how that goes," to a room full of laughs. Then he added "'She's 37, first birth… I don't know."
Here's the thing: The skepticism for Meghan's home birth is primarily because of her age. At 37, Meghan's pregnancy classifies as a high-risk pregnancy, according to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (that's the case for any woman 35 or older, or teenage girls).
In the United States, home births are not recommended, per the ACOG—mainly because they're just not part of the norm. But the recommendations are a bit different in the United Kingdom.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), which writes the childbirth guidelines in the UK, published new rules in 2014 that said home births are appropriate, even beneficial, for almost half of low-risk births. And if a woman's age is her only high-risk factor, the UK's Royal College of Midwives says then a home birth would still be appropriate, if it's what the woman chooses.
Thankfully, mom and baby were both healthy throughout Meghan's home-birth process—now, what's his name??

Walking: It's what's good for you.
Discussion in 'UO Spiels N Rants' started by TheScoundrelRico, Jan 27, 2009.
Eliminate all mounts in UO. Make everyone walk/run around on foot. This would include all of the various ethys and the chargers people are running around on.
Why no mounts lol ... Are all your prey getting away ?
Stupid may be the wrong word but it certainly doesnt make much sense.
People interact more when on foot? You honestly believe that everyone moving at a same but different speed will affect interaction? Thats plain silly.
It was of course the most fun I ever had playing Uo but times changed, I adapted and still have fun other ways.
I have an idea ive been kicking around though. Remove all offensive weapons/spells/pets from the game and reduce everyone to walking speed. Except thieves. They should be able to steal even insured or blessed items while mounted and hide without a delay even one tile away while agressed in town.
Call it the "Rico shard" It would be strictly for players that dont care about the overall health of the game, just their own templates.
I say they should be made more like real animals... the terrain they can travel over should be limited (no going inside buildings!), and they should be targetaible and be able to attack while ridden. They should also sometimes throw their rider under certain circumstances, possibly causing death.
If this were coupled with the elimination of gating and magical travel, you bet it would increase player interaction. Since you recall "back in the day", maybe you also remember when groups of players would travel together for safety purposes. This would be a good thing in my opinion.
I'm stumped ... why here? Makes damn good sense in a perverted (from todays standards) way. I do recall traveling/fighting in groups if nothing else as mutual protection from a) PKs out for a score or b) masses of overland spawn.
I'm stumped ... why here?
I remember when a horse was something that was hard to get. I used to go to the Lost Lands, tame some horses, go to WBB and sell them for 500 each.
Riding a mount used to be optional, and plenty of people played the game on foot.
What about a riding skill, that meant that riding a mount wasn't just a free action?
However, I don't think the masses would ever go for it. I doubt they'd even consider it for more than a nano second.
There are some of us who still travel old school style.
My chars all ride ethy mounts and I appreciate having them but my main char has zero magic.
He rides his ethy uni and sails his ship where ever he needs to go.
It can get tedious at times and I'd be lying if I said he's never hitched a gate ride somewhere.
But 90% of his travel is by the old, non magical, traditional means. With the exception being that the mount is ethy, not real.
Again, I like the idea but I think it's something that can only be a personal choice, an option decided upon by the player.
Ha, I remember when Napa Valley shard opened, those were the best days of UO. Of course I played a thief (Padan Fain) for years 99% of the time.
Mmm, and do we really need more than one moongate per facet? If you want to leace the continent, buy a boat!

From Dulce Maria Alavez's Disappearance To 6 Philly Cops Shot, Here Are Top Philadelphia-Area News Stories Of 2019
By CBS3 Staff December 17, 2019 at 1:17 pm
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — From a harrowing police shootout that brought the city to a standstill to a massive explosion that rocked a South Philly refinery, here are the top Philadelphia news stories of 2019.
Six Philadelphia Police Officers Shot During Nicetown-Tioga Standoff
Six officers were shot by a gunman during an hours-long standoff that shook Philadelphia's Nicetown-Tioga neighborhood in August. Alleged shooter Maurice Hill surrendered to police after a seven-hour standoff. All six injured officers were released from the hospital the same day and have been honored at several sporting events in the city.
Philadelphia Police Officers Accused Of Racist, Violent Social Media Posts
It's been a tumultuous year for the Philadelphia Police Department. In June, the Plain View Project shed light on racist and violent social media posts made by hundreds of police officers. Dozens of officers were initially placed on desk duty as protesters demanded further action. Thirteen officers were fired in July.
More Than $1 Billion Worth Of Cocaine Seized At Philadelphia Port
One of the largest cocaine busts in United States history happened in Philadelphia in mid-June. Nearly 20 tons of cocaine worth more than $1.3 billion were seized by federal authorities from a cargo ship at Packer Avenue Marine Terminal in South Philadelphia. Six people were charged in the bust.
The ship made port calls to Chile, Peru, Panama and the Bahamas before arriving in Philadelphia. It was destined for the Netherlands.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross Resigns
Former Commissioner Ross resigned abruptly in August. His resignation followed allegations of sexual harassment "among the rank and file" in the police department. Ross was not named in the allegations but a federal civil lawsuit alleged Ross was told about the allegations but did nothing to stop the behavior.
Christine Coulter is currently serving as the acting commissioner while the city searches for Ross' replacement.
Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refinery Explosion
In June, an explosion at a South Philadelphia refinery sent a massive fireball into the early-morning sky. No one was killed in the massive fire, but the damage forced Philadelphia Energy Solutions to close for good, impacting more than 1,000 workers.

Federal investigators with the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) determined a single corroded elbow pipe failed and led to the disaster.
Flyers Stop Using Kate Smith's 'God Bless America' After Alleged History of Racism
In April, the Flyers announced they would stop playing Kate Smith's iconic rendition of "God Bless America" — which dated back to when the team last won the Stanley Cup in 1975 — after the singer's racist songs from the 1930s were discovered. The team initially covered Smith's statue outside of the Wells Fargo Center with a black drape before removing it entirely.
(credit: CBS3)
In a statement at the time, the Flyers said, "We cannot stand idle while material from another era gets in the way of who we are today."
The controversial move was met with both approval and its detractors.
Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano backed Smith, saying "God Bless America" will continue to be played on the boardwalk every morning.
5-Year-Old Dulce Maria Alavez Disappears From Bridgeton Park
It's been more three months since 5-year-old Dulce Maria Alavez went missing from a park in Bridgeton, New Jersey — and there is still no sign of the little girl. No one has seen or heard from Dulce since the late afternoon of Sept. 16 when she was presumably abducted from a swingset at Bridgeton City Park while her mother sat in a nearby car.
Noema Perez Alavez, Dulce's mother, sat down for a one-on-one interview with Dr. Phil in early December, where she again denied any involvement in her daughter's disappearance after unfounded rumors circulated that she was involved.
"You did not sell your daughter, correct?" Dr. Phil asked.
"No," Alavez Perez responded.
"You don't know who has her?"
"You're not involved in her abduction?"
Authorities continue to search for a man described as a possible witness in the girl's disappearance. Dr. Phil also offered to up the reward for information leading to Dulce's whereabouts to $75,000.

Joe Biden Kicks Off 2020 Presidential Campaign In Philadelphia
After much speculation, former Vice President Joe Biden formally kicked off his 2020 presidential campaign with a rally on the Ben Franklin Parkway on May 18. There, Biden preached unity while taking several jabs at President Donald Trump.
Phillies Sign Superstar Outfielder Bryce Harper To 13-Year Deal
It took some "stupid money," but the Phillies got their man. After months of rumors and speculation, the Phils finally signed outfielder Bryce Harper to a record-setting 13-year, $330 million deal to be the face of their franchise and usher in a new era of baseball.
(Credit: Mitchell Leff/Getty Images)
Harper had a solid first year in pinstripes but the rest of the team severely underperformed. While the Phils fired manager Gabe Kapler, Harper's former team, the Washington Nationals, won the World Series in their first season since he left, much to the delight of trolls.
10-Year-Old Girl Dies After Falling Off Festival Ride
Tragedy struck in Cumberland County, New Jersey in October when 10-year-old Hailey McMullen died after she was thrown from a ride at the Fairgrounds in Deerfield Township.
"A girl fell out of the ride and she got smacked by the ride," a caller said on a 911 call obtained by CBS3. "I saw her. I saw her fall. It was not up high. It was one of the ones that was going round, whipping round on the ground and she came out of [the ride] and it came around and pushed her down underneath the ride."
An official Eyewitness News spoke with says at least a dozen people have died from rides just like the Sizzler across the U.S. over the last 20 years.
Vaping Illnesses And Deaths
Vaping and e-cigarettes became a national health risk in 2019, especially among teens and young adults. Health officials reported at least one person died from each of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.

Porno for Pyros' First Live Show in 26 Years Set for Welcome to Rockville After Jane's Addiction Exit
With the 2022 edition of Welcome to Rockville just days away, there's been a last minute change to the lineup with one of Perry Farrell's bands subbing in the for the other. Jane's Addiction will not be part of this year's bill, but Porno for Pyros will be playing their first show in 26 years this weekend in place of Jane's.
Festival organizers announced, "While we're saddened that Jane's Addiction can no longer join us, we are beyond excited to have Porno For Pyros perform live for the first time in 26 years ON OUR STAGE THIS WEEKEND."
Farrell the offered more insight into why the switch was taking place, revealing that guitarist Dave Navarro's "long bout with COVID" is keeping him out of action this weekend.
"The gang and the government are no different. That makes me 1 percent," starts Farrell. "Rockville, although we are blue that Jane's cannot be with you at this time due to Dave's long bout with COVID, I am still coming to Daytona, bringing to you for the first time in 26 years Porno For Pyros Featuring myself, Perry Farrell, Stephen Perkins, Peter DiStefeno and Mike Watt. We'll play some Jane's songs for you as well, but for now let's recall: My boat's capsized it's gonna sink to the bottom. I can see the lights on the shore…" The singer concluded his message "sending healing vibes to you Dave Navarro."
The Porno for Pyros reunion show will be part of the Sunday (May 22) festivities, with the band sitting alongside Nine Inch Nails and Smashing Pumpkins atop the billing for the day.
Porno for Pyros formed in 1992 after the breakup of Jane's Addiction, and went on to radio and MTV fame releasing a pair of '90s albums – 1993's self-titled offering featuring the singles "Cursed Female" and "Pets," and 1996's God's Good Urge featuring "Tahitian Moon." The band also placed the song "Hard Charger" on the soundtrack for the Howard Stern biopic Private Parts.
Though this is the band's first live concert performance for a major crowd in 26 years, they did reunite to play Farrell's 50th birthday in 2009, and were part of Lollapalooza's 2020 livestream during the pandemic.

Q: Best way to ignore subsequent commas I have a text file that I'm reading as a CSV. It has two fields per row, however the second field may or may not have multiple commas. Let's pretend that this is the data:
group-a,cats
group-b,dogs
group-c,snakes, turtles, lizards
group-d,fish, eels
group-e,people

I'm trying to have the txt file generated so that quotes are put around each field, but if that's not possible, what's the best way to reliably parse this so that commas after the first comma (first field never has commas) are effectively ignored?
For what it's worth, I'm using python3.

A: You can pass an optional parameter maxsplit to str.split(), so you can split your lines on only the first comma:
with open("myfile.csv") as f:
    myData = [line.strip().split(",", 1) for line in f]

print(myData)
#[['group-a', 'cats'],
# ['group-b', 'dogs'],
# ['group-c', 'snakes, turtles, lizards'],
# ['group-d', 'fish, eels'],
# ['group-e', 'people']]

A: Ignoring all commas after first comma:
How about a simple slicing?
with open("myfile.csv") as f:
    for line in f:
        k = line.find(',')
        print(line[:k+1] + line[k:].replace(',', ''))

Demo:
s = 'group-c,snakes, turtles, lizards'
k = s.find(',')
print(s[:k+1] + s[k:].replace(',', ''))

# group-c,snakes turtles lizards

A: As easy as:
import re
with open('in.txt') as f:
    for line in f:
        print (re.sub(r'^([^,]+),(.*)', r'"\1","\2"', line.strip("\n")))

"group-a","cats"
"group-b","dogs"
"group-c","snakes, turtles, lizards"
"group-d","fish, eels"
"group-e","people"

Can You Do Trademark Checks Yourself?
Trademark checks are an essential part of running your business. They're also one of the most common sources of legal confusion for entrepreneurs. Doing trademark checks yourself is more affordable than hiring an attorney.
If you've never checked for potential trademark violations before, we will show you how to do it without paying for legal representation. There is a popular belief that trademark checking is a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be.
Follow this guide to make sure you understand how trademark law works and what you need to do to protect your brand and keep your business operating smoothly.
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design used to identify products or services of a particular company. Trademarks protect the company's brand by distinguishing it from other companies' brands.
The first step in protecting your brand legally is using trademarks to distinguish your product and service from competitors'. As long as you're not violating any laws or infringing on someone else's trademark rights, your trademarks are completely legal and protected by law.
However, when it comes down to actually doing a trademark check, many entrepreneurs are unaware of how much they need an attorney. You can do this yourself without an attorney because trademarks are like any other property right; they're just another type of right and you have all the same rights as anyone else to defend them in court if necessary.
What Does a Trademark Check Look Like?
A trademark check is an integral part of the process of protecting a business's brand and identity. The check typically begins with a comprehensive search of relevant databases to identify any potential conflicts with existing marks.
The search should include national, state, and common law databases, as well as specific industry or product category terms.
Once potential conflicts are identified, each mark is evaluated against the criteria set forth in the appropriate trademark law, including distinctiveness, likeliness of confusion, and genericity.
The trademark check may also involve a review of similar marks or those with similar elements, as well as any registered or pending applications.
Once the trademark check is complete, the business can make an educated decision about whether to move forward with a trademark application.
Legal Trademarks vs. Trademark Registrations
Legal trademarks are the rights that are created by individuals or businesses to protect the names, symbols, and slogans of their products or services. When a business or individual uses the term "trademark" to refer to their product or service, they are referring to their legal right to the name, symbol, or slogan.
However, while legal trademarks are created by simply using the product or service, trademark registration provides an additional layer of protection. Trademark registration is a formal process that involves submitting an application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a specific mark. It is an official declaration that a business or individual owns the rights to a mark, which gives them exclusive rights to use it.
By registering a trademark, businesses and individuals can protect their products and services from being copied or misused by competitors.
Trademark Search vs. Trademark Check
Trademark search and trademark check are two important steps that should be taken when attempting to secure a trademark. A trademark search is an extensive process which involves researching existing trademarks. This search is done to ensure that a proposed mark does not conflict with another mark that is already registered.
A trademark check, on the other hand, is a much more basic form of investigation. It is limited to a review of available registration databases and does not involve research of unregistered uses. A trademark search is recommended to identify any potential conflicts before filing a trademark application.
By contrast, a trademark check can be used to ascertain the chances of obtaining a registration. Both processes are highly recommended when pursuing a trademark, as they help to protect the interests of a business.
Things to Look For in a Trademark Check
When you're first starting out, it's best to make sure your trademark is distinct and original.
First, check the trademark database to ensure your mark isn't already registered by someone else.
Next, look for alternate spellings of your name. If there are no other trademarks that sound similar to yours, then you're in good shape. But if someone has taken a shot at using your name before, then you'll need to think of a new name for your business (we'll help you do that when we cover naming a business).
You should also look for any other companies who might be infringing on your mark. This includes checking the internet and researching competitors. If they use similar wording or designs as yours but their brands are more popular than yours, then they may have been able to file earlier than you did and take away some of your market share.
To protect yourself from this happening again in the future, search for more variations of your brand's name and register those variations with the U.S Patent Office (if they are unique enough).
How to Do Trademark Checks Yourself
Trademark checks are an important process in a business's brand development. Doing a trademark check yourself is an efficient way to ensure that your proposed brand name is not already in use. Trademark checks also ensure that businesses are not infringing on someone else's intellectual property rights.
Doing these checks yourself can be done in a few simple steps.
First, conduct a search in the United States Patent and Trademark Office database. This search should be narrowed down to your specific industry or sector. You can also search other countries' trademark databases for international protection. Additionally, you may consider searching for similar company names and their websites. Finally, if you are still unsure, contact an intellectual property attorney to discuss your options.
By conducting these trademark checks yourself, you can ensure the unique representation of your business, and be confident that you are not infringing on someone else's rights.
Some Trademark Law Basics You Need to Know
1.Trademark infringement occurs when someone uses a mark that is confusingly similar to another's protected mark.
2. There are several forms of trademark protection available including trademarks, service marks, certification marks, and collective marks.
3. Trademark protection exists for marks that are used in the course of commerce.
4. A trademark can be registered with the USPTO to provide additional protection.
5. Trademarks are granted nationwide protection.
6. An unregistered trademark is still protected, but the protection is limited.
7. The owner of a trademark can take legal action against infringers.
8. Trademarks can be abandoned
FAQs on Trademark Checks
Can you check trademarks online?
The answer to this question is a resounding yes! The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) provides a comprehensive online database of registered trademarks. This database, known as the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS), can be searched by keyword, owner, or registration number. TESS is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to research potential trademark infringement or to simply find out more about existing trademarks.
In addition to TESS, there are a number of private companies that offer online trademark search services. However, it is important to note that these services may not be comprehensive or up-to-date. As such, they should be used as complementary resources, rather than primary ones.
How do I know if a brand name is taken?
The best way to search for existing brand names is to use the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS), which is maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. TESS contains over seven million active trademarks, so it's a good place to start your search. You can also do a simple Google search, but keep in mind that this will not be as comprehensive as a search of TESS.
If you're still not sure whether a particular name is available, you can hire an attorney to conduct a more thorough search. Ultimately, taking the time to choose an available name will pay off in the long run by helping you avoid costly legal battles down the road.
Can I trademark something that already exists?
Yes, you can trademark something that already exists. In order to do so, you must be able to prove that you are using the mark in a way that is distinctive and different from the way it is being used by others. For example, you might be able to trademark a common phrase if you can show that you are using it in an entirely new and unique way.
Alternatively, you might be able to trademark a name or logo that is already in use if you can demonstrate that it has become closely associated with your brand. If you are unsure whether your proposed trademark meets these requirements, it is always best to consult with an experienced intellectual property attorney who can advise you on the best course of action.
How long does a trademark last?
In the United States, a trademark can last indefinitely if it is properly maintained. However, there are a number of factors that can impact the length of time a trademark remains in force. The most important factor is how the trademark is used. If a trademark is not used for an extended period of time, it can be considered "abandoned" and may be subject to cancellation.
Additionally, a trademark can lose its protection if it becomes "generic," meaning that it is used to describe the type of product or service rather than the specific brand. For example, "aspirin" was once a trademarked name but is now used generically to describe all acetylsalicylic acid-based pain relievers.
Finally, a trademark can be cancelled if it is found to be misleading or infringes on another party's rights. Although there are a number of potentially ways a trademark can be lost, with proper care and maintenance, a trademark can last indefinitely.
How much does it cost to keep up a trademark?
Depending on the country in which a trademark is registered, the cost of renewal can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. In the United States, for example, the cost is $325 per class of goods or services. This may seem like a lot, but it's important to remember that a trademark is an important asset that can help a business to distinguish itself from its competitors.
Additionally, the cost of renewing a trademark is typically much lower than the cost of enforcement if someone were to try to use it without permission. As such, renewing a trademark is generally considered to be a wise investment.
A trademark is a word, phrase, design, symbol, or any combination thereof that identifies and distinguishes the source of a good or service from those of its competitors in the marketplace. In order to protect your brand from being copied by potential counterfeiters, trademark protection is crucial. But trademark protection doesn't come without its cost: the process of protecting your brand through trademarks can involve significant costs if you involve a lawyer.
The above tips should help you get started in conducting trademark checks without a lawyer. But that is not to say you shouldn't involve the services of an attorney if it becomes necessary.

SPRINGS 101
The Journey of water
To understand Florida's springs and their importance as natural resources, we must first understand the water cycle and aquifer that sustains them
Getting to the source
Contrary to popular belief, Florida's springs are not the source of freshwater; they are but one step on water's long journey through what is known as the Floridan Aquifer, our underground water source. Learn about the water cycle and the flow of water through the aquifer to gain a better understanding of Florida's springs. Also, learn more about how humans impact the quality and quantity of water in the aquifer and ultimately in the springs.
WATER CYCLES AROUND
The journey of water begins in the sky, where the state's abundant rainfall recharges the Floridan aquifer, our underground water source. Read below to learn about the water cycle and how it contributes to spring formation.
Rainfall is a function of various atmospheric and physical factors, and the most important of these are gravity and humidity. As the tiny water droplets within a cloud merge together into larger, heavier drops, they eventually overwhelm the relative level of atmospheric humidity that keeps them airborne. Relative humidity is a measurement of the amount of water the air can hold at a given temperature. Scientists have recently determined that once these drops reach a diameter of twenty millimeters, rain will begin to fall. Every day, over 150 billion gallons of rain falls in Florida, more than any other state in the nation except Louisiana.
Evaporation and Condensation
Water's journey through the water cycle begins with a process called evaporation whereby water stored in surface bodies of water like lakes, rivers and the ocean is converted into water vapor by the heat of the sun. Convection then draws this warmer, wetter air upwards where it comes into contact with cooler, high atmospheric air and eventually condenses back into tiny water droplets. Collectively, these tiny droplets are called clouds.
In addition to evaporation, a significant percentage of the water is released into the atmosphere by trees and plants in a process called transpiration. In order to facilitate photosynthesis, plants absorb water from the soil through their roots, a process that can also clean water by filtering out nutrients and pollution. They then transpire this water back into the atmosphere through their leaves and stems. About 70 percent of all rainfall returns to the atmosphere in the form of evaporation and transpiration.
Rainfall that is not absorbed directly into the soil, through the roots and leaves of plants, or accumulated into existing bodies of water such as lakes or rivers is called surface, or stormwater runoff. In areas where the underlying geologic formation is impervious to water, as in the case of clay, runoff is a natural process, directing water in sheet flow, into lakes, rivers, wetlands, and the ocean. In Florida, where loose sandy soils and porous limestone bedrock are common, rainfall that reaches the surface of the earth usually soaks directly into the ground.
Rainfall seeps underground through a process called percolation, whereby water travels downwards through the tiny spaces between rocks and soil particles, and within the "Swiss cheese" structure of the limestone. The water eventually saturates the underlying limestone in much the same way water fills the tiny holes of a sponge. It is this process of percolation that allows Florida's abundant rainfall to replenish the immense volumes of water flowing from the springs.
Rain Falls Again
Though the first step of water's journey to the springs begins in the sky, the water cycle itself is a never-ending process, and no single step is more important than any other. Evaporation, transpiration, condensation, rainfall, run-off, and percolation all play a critical part in ensuring that water is consistently available for both natural processes and human use.


New York Stock Exchange chairman and Intercontinental Exchange CEO Jeffrey Sprecher expressed optimism about the future of cryptos and said that they will definitely survive.
Last week, the crypto market was experiencing not the best times, with many currencies dropping sufficiently. Over that period, Bitcoin lost almost 30 percent of its value. Fortunately, starting from this Monday, the market is showing marginal recovery, with Bitcoin price finally surging past its sentimental barrier of $4000 with its valuation just crossing $70 billion.
The recent situation prompted jitters among investors but did not address optimism of Jeffrey Sprecher, the CEO of one of the world's biggest exchange operators Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and chairman of the New York Stock Exchange.
The NYSE and its parent firm ICE showed a proactive approach to the crypto space. In January, ICE partnered with blockchain company Blockstream with a view to bring "disciplined" BTC price information to major Wall Street investors. Further, ICE was going to pull data from 15 major exchanges and deliver this information to the biggest financial names, including hedge funds and professional trading firms.
Later in May, ICE announced plans to introduce a trading platform that would allow investors to buy and hold Bitcoin. The exchange was discussing with other financial institutions on working to make ICE-backed bitcoin swap contracts available to the banking institutions.
Sprecher appeared with his wife Kelly Loeffler, the CEO of Bakkt, the bitcoin futures platform backed by ICE and designed to allow digital asset trading and make it easier for merchants to accept cryptos.
Starbucks, for which the platform is a way to figure out how to help consumers convert their digital assets into US dollars for use, said that Bakkt will position it to offer new ways of collecting payments as cryptocurrencies gain traction. The company added there is no timeline for when it would allow customers to pay using digital currency.

Would you like to try backpacking? Wild, the best-selling memoir and movie starring Reese Witherspoon, has put many people in a backpacker's boots–in imagination.
But are you wondering "Could I do that? Would I want to do that?" For some there is an emphatic "No way! What was I thinking for that nano-second?!" But if wondering lingers, if you can see yourself awakening in a sublime mountain meadow, dew glistening, backpacking may be for you. Here are some things I'd like you to know.
First, it doesn't have to be that hard. While the author of the book, real-life hiker Cheryl Strayed, did some great planning with food, she really could have used some help with shoes and gear. Especially shoes. A day's backpacking will leave you tired, hopefully with the satisfaction of real accomplishment. But you do not have to be in excruciating pain.
If you like the outdoors and are reasonably fit (or could get that way with a goal ahead of you) and the idea of being self-reliant appeals, read on.
Those of us who do are looking for renewal: physical, mental, emotional, social. That extra time in a wild and breathing world can bring us back to natural rhythms, to our partners or families and to ourselves.
There is the pulsing night sky, bright with the Milky Way. Sunset and sunrise bathe the world anew in ethereal light, reflected in the stillness of crystal water. There is no sound but a gentle breeze in the trees, the fall of water over rock. With the essential gear on our backs we can go further, gaze into splendor that very few will ever see.
There is the endorphin high of Rocky Mountain exertion, the satisfaction of miles covered, the smell of fresh coffee, conversations that may just never occur otherwise.
The peace he wrote about in 1894 can still be found, just a mile down a dirt trail.
Perhaps Cheryl Strayed's story in Wild, while intriguing, has scared you away.
Many books have been written to tell people how to backpack. Any one or two recent ones are worth looking over. Yet all you really need to know is that it is walking with all the necessaries on your back, all that you have to have and not an ounce more. And that shoes may be the most important thing. It's hard to have your head in the clouds when your feet are in the fire.
Good hiking shoes or boots are well ventilated with engineered fabrics that are water proof. The soles grip and are solid enough to protect your tender feet from sharp rocks. They should fit you right in the store. And "right" means that you are wearing a thin pair of nylon wicking socks to pull away moisture, and a medium pair of wicking socks for cushioning. The boots shouldn't slip in the heel but have enough room in the toe area for some foot swelling. The adage "a pound on your feet equals five on the back" has military science behind it. So go light, with low or mid-height shoes.
Here are some simple possibilities. For breakfast: dried fruit, granola, coffee or tea. For lunch: tortillas or bagels, string cheese, salami or a tuna salad pouch. Toss in some single serving condiments from a convenience store. For snacks: snickers, granola or power bars. For suppers, most of us start with Mountain House pouches (available in the camping section of Walmart), one pouch per person. Just pour boiling water into the foil bag and you have hot food. Gatorade powder mix can keep you hydrated. It is useful to portion your food out into baggies in the comfort of your livingroom so you have enough but not too much.
If I were to recommend a first backpack adventure, probably two nights out, I'd want a few things. First: a spectacular end point, about a seven-mile walk away. Second: an interesting and exciting trail that offers a lot to see along the way. Third: good day hiking from the campsite. Fourth: not too far from Cheyenne.
I've picked two. One allows dogs, an essential companion for many, the other does not but will give hikers a better chance to see wildlife. Both of these hikes are in reservation-only areas, which have an advantage in that you know it will not be too crowded and that there will be a site for you. Of course there is the small hassle involved in making the reservation.
This backpack takes you by a series of five wonderful lakes, each a beauty queen contestant. The trip starts with a bang, Adams Falls, a rush of water in a big rock box. A peaceful broad wetland popular with moose follows. There is an uphill section leading to the first lake, Lone Pine, and then the others follow, each with a backdrop of inspiring granite. The trip ends with the spires of the Continental Divide.
One of the best camps is above the second lake, Verna. I'd suggest you spend two nights there with a day hike adventure the second day. Most will want to follow the cairns up to lake three, Spirit Lake (my favorite) and beyond to Fourth and Fifth Lake (yes, that really is their names) high in the rocks. Or if you are very adventurous there is an old path up to Boulder-Grand Pass on the divide.
East Inlet Trail is in the southwestern corner of Rocky Mountain National Park not far from the town of Grand Lake. To plan your trip, start with a map. "Rocky Mountain National Park" by Trails Illustrated is a good one. You may want a guidebook. Rocky Mountain National Park: The Complete Hiking Guide by Lisa Foster is superb and will whet your appetite for years to come.
Choose your dates, probably between the second week of July through the second week of September for best weather. Download a "Backcountry Camping Guide" from the Park Service at: www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/backcountry.htm. Within it is "Trip Planning Worksheet." This is your reservation request. Complete it and mail it in. The best sites for this hike are 068 Lake Verna or 067 Upper East Inlet. If there is availability you'll get a reservation in the mail.
Rocky Mountain National Park regulations require use of a bear canister, a plastic bear-proof cylinder to store food. They can be rented by the day from any Estes Park or Grand Lake sporting goods store. The rangers will check to see that you have one.
The morning of your trip, between 8:00 and 10:00 am (after 10:00 your reservation can be given to someone else!), pick up your actual permit at one of two ranger stations, either Beaver Meadows Visitor Center on Highway 36 west of Estes Park, CO or at the Kawuneeche Visitor Center on Highway 34, north of Grand Lake, CO. You will pay $20 for the permit, no matter how many people or how many nights. At the visitors center a kindly ranger will brief you on current conditions, park rules and will give you a detailed map of your camp site.
To drive to the trailhead you can go via Estes Park, pay your auto fee to cross the park on Trail Ridge Road, and leave the park on the south west side. The trailhead is actually outside the park near the end of West Portal Road in Grand Lake, Colorado. Or you can take the way through Laramie, south on WY 230 through Woods Landing to Granby, then east on US 34 through Grand Lake to the Kawuneeche Visitor Center to get your permit. This way is longer but you will avoid the park fee and traffic.
This splendid backpack is in the same general neighborhood but is south of the Park in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. And the general plan is the same, following a stream to its source along the Continental Divide. On this one you can bring your dog.
It begins with a great start, along the side of beautiful Monarch Lake, then ascends along Cascade Creek, named because it is one lovely waterfall after another. The prime destination is a pair of lakes, Mirror and Crater. Mirror Lake reflects the impossibly perfect triangle of Lone Eagle Peak. Just beyond is Crater Lake in a bowl of towering mountains. There are fine numbered camping sites all around the two lakes.
For your second day you may want to move camp to Pawnee Lake, about a mile back the way you came and a second mile up Pawnee Pass trail. Or you may just want to leave camp at Crater and day hike up to Pawnee. This lake is also magnificent, tucked into a backdrop of classic Rocky Mountain summits. As a day hike you can ascend the steep trail to the top of Pawnee Pass and stare down into the lakes of the eastern slope.
On the way back to the trailhead you can circle the other side of Monarch Lake and inspect an old steam engine that powered a mining operation.
Get your map, Trails Illustrated "Indian Peaks Gold Hill." For a guidebook I recommend the classic Hiking Rocky Mountain National Park Including Indian Peaks by Kent & Donna Dannen. It too will prime you for years of wilderness adventure.
Pick your dates, again mid-July through September. Get a permit application online at www.fs.usda.gov/detail/arp/passes-permits. Mail it in, requesting Crater Lake Backcountry Zone or Cascade Creek Backcountry Zone for Pawnee Lake. Entry and exit trailhead is #200, Monarch Lake. Include a check for $5. You will get a permit in the mail.
Sites at both lakes are first come, first served.
No bear canister is required. Campfires are not allowed at Crater Lake but are at Pawnee if you are 100 feet from the lake or creek. Mosquitos can be especially bad at Crater Lake if the wind is down.

This is a great post! My husband and I are moving to Colorado later in the year and are really excited to begin backpacking!
