The IPA has collaborated with its Australian counterpart, The Communications Council, to deliver the IPA's portfolio of award-winning qualifications and courses to agencies and clients in the Australian marketing communications market.
The landmark agreement between the Australian and UK agency trade bodies is part of a broader movement to create a global benchmark for best practice in professional development for the advertising profession around the world. Since the launch of the IPA's online qualifications, more than 11,000 people have achieved an IPA qualification in more than 60 countries, while the IPA' s experiential programs, based on intensive residential learning experiences, have come to be considered professional rites of passage in the UK industry and key milestones in career development.
The Australian alliance involves two main elements: the localising of the IPA's core online qualifications for the Australian market, as well as a licensing agreement that will allow The Communications Council to run the IPA's experiential advertising courses across Australia – a first internationally.
The announcement of the collaboration will be made as part of IPA President Ian Priest's keynote speech at Australia's Agency Symposium [http://ashtonmedia.com.au/symposiums/agency-symposium-2014/] on Wednesday 17th September, where Australia's leading industry people will gather to discuss developments in the industry's traditional processes, organisational structures, partnerships and revenue streams.
Says Ian Priest, IPA President, Founding Partner, VCCP and Group COO, CSM: "There is clear evidence from our agencies in the UK of the direct and powerful link between investing in people and business performance – ultimately our thinking adds value to our clients' brands and drives real competitive growth. I am therefore delighted that we have collaborated with The Communications Council in order to share our global benchmark of best practice learning with agencies and clients in the Australian advertising industry."
Says Margaret Zabel, CEO, The Communications Council: "Elevating the industry's continuous professional development to a global standard provides the necessary opportunities required to attract and retain today's best talent. Collaborating with the IPA ensures access to internationally recognised and respected qualifications and also lays the foundation for The Communications Council to go on to deliver individual accreditation to those within our industry."
The first IPA qualification to be rolled-out in Australia by The Communications Council will be the Foundation Certificate, which is the industry's key entry level qualification that provides junior adlanders with an understanding of the entire brand communications process, from the client brief to final execution. The qualification, which has been tailored to the Australian market, consists of 30 hours of online learning and an offline two-hour exam which will be held in locations across Australia.
In addition, the first IPA residential course to be rolled-out by The Communications Council in Australia will be the three-day Campaign Planning course. With forty years of success, the course takes delegates from client brief to campaign solution so as to create understanding of how strategic, creative and media planning is integral to the creation of effective advertising.

In many ways, we have found the concept of sustainable development to be an important addition to international relations theory, policy, and practice – and to the lateral pressure logic by helping to provide system boundaries for framing the problems at hand. Mapping Sustainability: Knowledge e-Networking and the Value Chain Sustainability (Choucri et al., 2007)1 draws on the work of Marvin Minsky – the founding Director of MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory – it is useful to think of a frame as "a sort of skeleton, something like an application form with many blanks or slots to be filled" (Minsky, 1986: 245)2. Focusing on the master variables as critical drivers of lateral pressure. The framing challenge is to provide the skeleton within which to fill knowledge materials central to sustainable development. Based on visualization technologies, utilizing geographical information systems (GIS) technologies, Ortiz (2007)3, shows the distribution of state profiles in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional maps of the global system. These maps show the global patterns of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the emissions by profile type, Ortiz illustrates the geographic distribution, temporal evolution, and cross-sectional inter-relationships of relevant variables, the categorical proxy of country profiles, and related variables of growth and development across all countries over a time frame of over several decades. These maps visually convey the basic message embodied large datasets with complex inter-relationships between variables, across a geographic space. Visualization contributes to our overall understanding of the lateral pressure dynamics in ways that transcend the econometric or system dynamics methodologies. In many ways, visualization can expedite the process of hypothesis generation and testing.
We now turn to the characteristic features of the constructed domain, cyberspace, and to how the fifth phase of theory development and empirical analysis in international relations responds to the new realities created by the construction of cyberspace and interactions with the traditional international order.

On Tuesday, Stan Kroenke, like so many before him, fled St. Louis.
A century ago, when the United States housed less than a third the number of people, St. Louis boasted a population more than double its current size. A city that famously hosted the Olympics and the World's Fair now ranks as the murder capital of the United States. It's strangely first in sexually transmitted diseases but last in population growth among big cities.
Why on earth would the once Greatest Show on Turf leave all that for greener paper pastures out West?
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon complains that the NFL misled the people of St. Louis. But he misleads in using the wrong being verb when he insists that "St. Louis is a world-class city" in the statement he released.
Perhaps all this ignores St. Louis's many charms. Washington University stands architecturally as one of the most beautiful campuses in the United States. The people exhibit Midwestern decency. It remains the best baseball city in America. The riverfront, Union Station, and Anheuser-Busch's brewery all rank as must-sees. What city boasts something as unique on the outside, and wondrous on the inside, as the Gateway Arch?
But when riots erupt and crime explodes, people naturally escape. Stan Kroenke followed the lead of millions of others who once called St. Louis home. This remains the elephant in the room that local politicians don't want to address. When "hands up, don't shoot" becomes the crowd mantra, and not D-fense or some other catchy chant, the performers that attract crowds may begin to believe they run with the wrong crowd.
This reality doesn't mitigate the pain the locals feel. NFL teams work as rallying points for communities to unite. Even franchise names—the Steelers, the Packers, the 49ers—often advertise the localities in which they compete. So any man that plucks that from a community can't help but come across like that cultist maniac in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom who plucks the hearts out of his victims (I speak not of Shorty).
Other cities feel St. Louis' pain, including, conspicuously, Los Angeles, which lost the Rams to St. Louis not long ago. Cleveland Brown, whose grandfather, father, and son shared a name and a heritage in Northeast Ohio, defiantly insisted in the mid-1990s that wherever Art Modell went with his Cleveland Browns his family of Cleveland Browns would remain in the Buckeye State. Even after an expansion Browns returned to Cleveland, a fan traveled to a cemetary in Maryland to urinate on Art Modell's grave. One supposes even in Cleveland memories don't last so long as to inspire mingent vigilantism against the Rams from departing for Los Angeles after World War II. In 1984, the late Baltimore superfan "Loudy" Loudenslager plaintively—not a word normally associated with the screaming football fanatic—showed up to Memorial Stadium on opening day when the Colts kicked off in Indianapolis against the New York Jets. The Baltimore Colts Marching Band played on, as bands are wont to do, even as their team did not—as least not in the Charm City.
In 1984, Robert Irsay used Mayflower trucks to move the Colts in the middle of the night. In 2016, Stan Kroenke absconded from St. Louis with the Rams as the country fixated on the president's final State of the Union address. Jeff Fisher would call this a misdirection play.
But St. Louis has grown accustomed to people leaving. It lost the Browns, Hawks, and Cardinals before it lost the Rams. Hernando de Soto departed without the Spaniards returning. The Santa Fe Trail, of course, generally ran one way from St. Louis. Yogi Berra, Betty Grable, Maya Angelou, and T.S. Eliot, despite maintaining, "I consider myself fortunate to have been born here, rather than in Boston, or New York, or London," got out. Clark Griswold escaped—yes, that was St. Louis and not East St. Louis—but not without his hubcaps.
The city prides itself on people passing through. Pioneers came to St. Louis for the sole purpose of trekking toward the Pacific. It calls itself, after all, the Gateway City to the West. And on Tuesday, a city failing to live up to its rich history sadly embodied that historical moniker once again.

Alumnus Smith is a Hit at Career Week Pathways Event
Fred Smith ('83 MGT), FCB National Advisory Board member, was the keynote speaker for a Pathways event on October 3, 2017 in Gardner Auditorium. While an undergrad, Smith was a member of the NAU football team.
Smith's presentation was one of the informative events held during Career Week which focuses on professional development. He covered the value of 'elevator' speeches, paying attention to detail, and most importantly, making a good first impression.
To make his point, Smith came into the auditorium wearing a grey wig, a skirt and a white blouse. He told the audience, if there is one thing they would remember from him being there, it was his first impression. He was right.
Smith continued by sharing his story with the group and how he ended up as a top executive in several different companies, including Xerox and America's Corp. He is a business owner and currently the regional manager in the West for Novatex. He also sparked interest in students with his experience in real estate.
The event continued with helpful tips and tricks on elevator pitches. Smith told the students to speak about what they are passionate about in their 30 second impression. He then moved into a "Buying Cows" exercise that focused on paying attention to details. The example he gave showed how a simple misuse of commas in a written communication with someone could cost a lot of money.
Smith responded to several questions about the career field when the Pathways concluded with a Q&A.
The professional development tools Smith gave to the students were valuable and well used later in the week during the FCB Career Exploration Day. Bernadine Lewis, director of Undergraduate Programs, said Smith brought with him "simple, practical knowledge that students need to know at the beginning of their professional development."
As an alum, Smith expressed support for the opportunities being offered to students at FCB. He felt his time here included several professional and personal growth options, and he is proud to see what is being offered currently.
An advantage of having Smith as a speaker is his appeal to the diverse community in the FCB. Smith is a successful business man that shows students of minorities that there are no boundaries to their success. His presence and participation in the FCB is both motivational and inspirational.
Students agreed the Smith's presentation was successful. Lewis chimed in, calling it "edutainment" and an honor to host such an accomplished alumnus.

South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) suffered a historic defeat in the country's capital to the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) in local elections, the electoral commission said Saturday. In Tshwane, the metropolitan area that includes Pretoria, DA won 43.1 percent of the vote over the ANC's 41.2 percent, according to final results in elections highlighting the declining popularity of the party that led the anti-apartheid struggle. The loss of Pretoria comes on top of the ANC conceding defeat Friday in Port Elizabeth, a key battleground of Wednesday's municipal election.

Having worked in the HR recruitment industry for eleven years, nothing pleases me more than, not only placing candidates into their "dream jobs", but also seeing candidates achieve their career goals. Over the years, I have witnessed some truly excellent HR graduates go from entry level HR Administration roles to quickly flourishing into HR Manager/Head of HR positions.
The role of HR within organisations has changed significantly over the years with a bigger focus on stricter accountability, added value and return on investment. So, what does it take to be successful and climb the HR career ladder in today's challenging business environment?
Here is how I think the best candidates do it:
Most HR roles are very varied and you can be pulled in many directions in the one day - from recruiting for a niche role in the business to attending a really complex disciplinary case which, in turn, requires a lot of energy. HR teams engage with everyone in the business and often need to have those "difficult conversations". Having resilience in these situations will help you along the way and show that you are more than capable as HR professional of standing on your own two feet and making clear decisions without being phased.
Clear Goals
Know your HR career plan and be very clear on where you want to go in HR. There are a variety of options as you progress up the ladder - knowing what you want from the outset will help you stay focused on achieving your goals.
Choose an industry
When you are starting out in HR, my advice would be to try a few different industries as different companies and sectors will adopt a completely different HR function in terms of sizes of teams, structure, HR vision and culture. When you have worked in a mix of industry sectors, for example, Financial Services, Manufacturing and public sector you might find the corporate/professional sector may be more suited to you. Once you are in the sector that is suited to you, you will find that you should naturally be able to progress.
Commercial mindset
No matter what industry you are working in, always have a commercial mindset and be aware of the value that you are adding as an HR professional. The HR function has transformed significantly over the last thirty years and HR teams now need to be able to know how they are adding value and contributing to overall business profit. Can you contribute to reducing absence levels? Can you make an impact on employee engagement levels? Can you reduce staff attrition levels? Can you effectively succession plan for the business? These are all important questions that should be continuously reminding yourself of.
Have a specialism
My advice to HR candidates at the early stage in their career is not to specialise too soon. You could potentially pigeon-hole yourself into one specific area and limit your career options at a later stage. Many HR professionals, however, do specialise later in their career into reward, L&D and HR Systems. As a generalist, it is good to still have some sort of specialism in your skillset in order to open up additional options. For example, you could be a HR generalist with a strong analytical slant or a HR generalist who is an absence management or TUPE specialist. Generalist HR is so varied that you will naturally become stronger is some areas depending on the sector you work in.
Take a side step into an operational role
Stepping out of HR for a short time to learn about other areas of the business will help you gain in-depth knowledge about the business and the industry you are in. It will only add value you when you return to the HR function and have to make decisions that influence the people and the business.
Whichever route you choose to take, I genuinely believe that hard work and dedication is rewarded within the HR industry. Clear career progression is often established at the outset, with candidates able to progress relatively quickly in some sectors.
If you are a committed and talented commercial HR candidate, I would love to hear from you. I have over ten years' experience recruiting for the Scottish HR market. I can discuss any available and suitable roles I have with you confidentially. Click here to see my details and get in touch.
We pride ourselves as a business that is focused on helping people develop their careers and helping businesses succeed through the acquisition of great talent.

Patch #26791
Send individual notification mails per mail recipient
|Start date:
|Due date:
|% Done:
|Email notifications
|Target version:
With this patch series, we are introducing the general concept to send multiple mails per notification event. Specifically, we are sending one mail per recipient user. Each of those mails is rendered in the context of the recipient (i.e. with
User.current set to the recipient). The mails can be sent immediately or optionally delayed using ActiveJob.
This approach has a couple of advantages over the existing approach of sending a single mail to multiple recipients:
- We ensure object visibility for the rendered mails in the most generic way. Since each mail is rendered with
User.currentset to the recipient, all content rendered in the mail (including shown issue attributes, macros and links in rendered textile text, ...) is guaranteed to only be visible to the user without having to ensure this manually for each mail using the same visibility rules as used for the HTML views already.
- The mail will always be sent in the recipients language, even if multiple users with different languages are notified
- There is no risk of the whole notification mail being rejected because of a single invalid recipient address (see #8157, #6829, #8733 and a lot of duplicates)
In the long run, it will also allow us to introduce user-specific additional information in the rendered notification, e.g. related issues, links to assign the issue, ...
With this new approach, we do have a some challenges which we are trying to address separately:
- Since each mail is always rendered with an adapted
User.current, any mail views which expected to use the original
User.currentneed to be adapted. In Redmine core, this only affects the security notifications.
- Depending on the number of recipients for a notification, there might be many rendered mails which can take some time in the request. To ensure a snappy response, we can use ActiveJob to render and send the mails in the background. This can make the
async_*delivery methods obsolete.
Reminder: How mail sending works in plain Rails (and Redmine)¶
This patch series changes how mails are generated and delivered. Let's first look at how a mail normally gets generated and delivered in ActionMailer.
mail = Mailer.news_added(news)- The user calls a class-method of the Mailer class (a child-class of ActionMailer::Base). This method is usually not implemented in the
Mailerclass itself. Instead, there is a
method_missingmethod on
ActionMailer::Base. Here, ActionMailer creates a
ActionMailer::MessageDeliveryobject. Which is basically a delegator to an eventually rendered mail object. Now, the mail is not actually rendered here. The
MessageDeliveryobject only collects all arguments it needs to eventually render the mail. This happens implicitly when any method on the mail is accessed (e.g. when the mail is about to be delivered). The
MessageDeliverydelegator is returned to the user.
Now that we have the (delegated) mail, we can deliver it with
mail.deliver. This method used to be the only delivery method. With newer Rails versions, there is (with some variations)
deliver_now and
deliver_later. Redmine usually calls
deliver which in source:trunk/config/initializers/10-patches.rb#L160 calls
deliver_now currently.
When calling
mail.deliver, the delegator starts to render the mail:
MessageDelivery#processed_mailercreates a new
Mailerinstance and calls
processon it.
Mailer#process(:news_added, news)- The
processmethod is part of ActionMailer (and in turn part of the
ActionControllerframework on which ActionMailer is based on). Among things, it calls the specified action, i.e. the instance method.
Mailer#news_added(news)- This instance method is implemented on the Mailer class and is responsible to render the actual mail message. Here, we set headers, instance variables for the view and basically do the usual controller stuff. With a final call to
- This returned
Mail::Messageobject is delivered with a call to
How we hook into this process¶
Now, in order to send multiple mails, we hook into this process to render (and deliver) multiple mails. We want to ensure two things:
- We want to create multiple mails, one per recipient and deliver them all in one go.
- When rendering the mail (i.e. when calling the Mailer's instance method), we want to set
User.currentto the recipient user and set it back to the original value after the rendering is done
These two goals are achieved with two specific changes to our Mailer:
We introduce a wrapper class called
Mailer::MultiMessage. Instances of this class wrap multiple
Mail::Message objects (or rather
ActionMailer::MessageDelivery objects which delegate to
Mail::Message objects). The class provides the same
deliver_* methods as the original
Mail::Message objects. When calling such a method, we are calling it on each of the wrapped messages. This allows us to use an instance of this class in place of a
ActionMailer::MessageDelivery object.
We use this class by implementing class methods for each mailer action. These class methods implement the same external interface (i.e. accept the same arguments) as the old instance methods. This ensures that we keep the existing public interface. The class methods fetch the recipient users for the respective object (i.e. the issue, news, comment, ...). We use
Mailer::MultiMessage#for to add an
ActionMailer::MessageDelivery object for each recipient which eventually renders the mail.
When creating the delegator, we also pass the recipient user to the arguments for the mail rendering. We use this user in the overwritten
Mailer#process method to set
User.current and their language before actually rendering the message. This convention allows us to keep the interfaces clear: the user is only passed between the class method and
Mailer#process but doesn't need to be specified on the instance action. Here, it is already set as
User.current for each rendered mail.
We also extend
Mailer.method_missing (on the class) to create a single-mail
Mailer::MultiMessage object with the current user in case the class method for an action is not explicitly overwritten. This ensures that our convention of always passing a user to
Mailer#process is kept up even if a plugin only adds an instance method (which was valid before).
What we tried and did not work¶
I first attempted to set the current user directly in the action's class method. and reset it directly afterwards. That would have made the code much more localized. However, due to the delayed rendering of the mail with the
ActionMailer::MessageDelivery object, the mail will be rendered only after we have already reset the current user.
One way to work around this would be to introduce
deliver_* methods (like the now obsolete
Mailer.deliver_issue_add method). However doing so would have changed the intended external interface of our
Mailer class and would likely lead to integration pain with all existing Redmine plugins sending mail.
What we ship¶
We ship three patches here:
0001-Send-individual-emails-for-each-mail-recipient.patch- The main implementation including tests.
0002-Cleanup-Remove-Issue-each_notification-and-Journal-e.patch- Removes unneccessary methods for grouping recipients based on custom field visibility
0003-Optional-Ensure-that-ActiveRecord-Base-objects-are-f.patch- An optional patch which changes the serialization behavior when sending mails with ActiveJob (e.g. with
Mailer.news_added(news).deliver_later). By default, Rails serialized the arguments as a globalid (which is basically a reference to the object in the database identified by its ID). If there are concurrent changes to e.g. a newly created issue, this might result in notifications using the new state instead of the original state. With this patch, we serialize the exact attributes of the given objects into the job. Since this also causes nested attributes to be serialized along, care must be taken to avoid reference errors. In general, we should probably try to use mostly immutable state in the database where it is an important consideration that the notification state is exactly shown in the DB.
Future work¶
ActiveJob sending¶
If the general direction of this patch is accepted, it is probably desireable to move the mail sending to ActiveJob completely. This could replace the
async_* delivery methods currently configurable in
configuration.yml. This change can either be hardcoded in source:trunk/config/initializers/10-patches.rb#L160 or made configurable with a setting. I'll be glad to provide a patch for this. It would only be a few lines of code.
By default, we could use the in-process ActiveJob runner to send mails. More advanced users with a dedicated job worker (e.g. delayed job) can easily switch to that without changes to the Redmine code itself.
BCC recipients¶
Since each user gets their own mail, we can probably remove the setting to send mails with BCC completely. If plugins want to send mails to non-user recipients, we would have to make sure to either set the recipients manually on BCC or group them appropriately. It is not a required setting in Redmine core anymore though.

El Rushbo has New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's back.
Christie critics are harping over his plans to have flags fly at half-staff to honor the Garden State's own Whitney Houston this weekend. They argue the tribute should be reserved for fallen soldiers and police officers, not entertainers. Others contend Houston's drug history – which may or may not have been a factor in her death – make her a poor choice for such an honor.
Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh wasn't having any of it on his radio show this week:
I have a question. If she did not have in her life a problem with drug abuse and alcohol … we don't yet know what the cause of death was, but let's assume that alcohol and drugs had nothing to do with it. Take that out of it. How many of you would be upset that the flag was lowered to half staff?" Limbaugh said.
He continued, "How many of you are simply upset about it, simply because in your mind, 'She was just an entertainer. Come on! We lower the flag for statesmen, for heroes. What is this entertainer business?'"
The conservative radio host reminded listeners that New Jersey has flown its flags at half-staff for other Garden State music legends, including Frank Sinatra and Clarence Clemons of the E Street Band, according to a transcript of his show.
"So it's not that uncommon," he said. "It really isn't.

There are few things more vexing in schools than special education. A new state law is intended to help more students get to a high school diploma, but the U.S. government is signaling that the state's effort could conflict with federal law.
It's not a case of the feds making trouble for the poor state of Louisiana, nor of the state seeking any confrontation.
Instead, a well-meaning statute and good intentions by officials at the state and local school levels might well have to be changed if federal concerns are not allayed.
The key feature of the 2014 measure allows teachers and parents who advise the students — called Individualized Education Program teams — to craft alternative paths to a diploma, regardless of how students fare on standardized tests that rank-and-file students have to pass.
"We are concerned that Louisiana's Act 833 may permit IEP teams to set lower standards for promotion and graduation for students with disabilities," said a letter signed by Michael K. Yudin, acting assistant secretary for the U.S. Department of Education.
This concern was raised by some advocates for the students during the Legislature, but members passed the law anyway. School districts, with perhaps more first hand experience of the complexities of the law and the students' experience, have been wary about its implementation.
Yudin said a long-standing requirement of federal law is that students with disabilities get an education "so that they can be involved in, and make progress in, the general education curriculum."
He said Congress amended the key federal education law in 2001 to require states apply "the same challenging academic content and achievement standards to all schools and all students, including students with disabilities."
This is a complex issue because of the wide range of differing abilities of IEP students and thus their needs in schools. The 80,000 special education students in Louisiana schools are no small population. A low proportion of them go on to graduate.
We hope that the U.S. government will look carefully at the Act 833 implementation before rushing to any judgment. We don't want to see a practice of waving through students instead of giving them quality educational experiences and rigorous academic standards, and we're reasonably confident that is not intended by authors of the new law.
We hope that parents and teachers will draw attention to problems with this new statute and report it to the state task force overseeing implementation. The rubber meets the road in schools. These students deserve the best education possible, and that is not changed by the new state law.

My baskets reflect my love of nature and working with my hands. I use natural materials found locally in the Shenandoah Valley and the surrounding mountains to create the framework for my unique baskets.
My favorite material is grapevine because of its durability, plentifulness, and physical characteristics. It's also a reminder that grapevine, being created before humankind, was present at our creation. The grain, tendrils, knots and curves of the grapevine reflect exposure to the elements as it grew. These features which give testimony to the harshness and struggle each vine encountered in its development are the same features that contribute to the beauty and uniqueness of each basket. The handles and ribs are "one of a kind," making each piece of art truly an original. Colored reed, fabric strips and sea grass are also used for never-ending possible combinations.
I began weaving traditional market, egg, and gathering baskets over 25 years ago, while a stay-at-home mom. As my family matured, I refine my skill and technique for shaping and designing baskets, more energy and time available to devote to fulfilling my need and passion to create. Now that my children are on their own, I have dedicated more space in my home to basket weaving. I also sometimes opens my studio to individuals and groups who want to explore their creative selves or who just want to have fun.

A fair, balanced and effective patent system is indispensible in promoting investment in research and development, job creation, global competitiveness and economic growth — goals that lawmakers from across the ideological spectrum can support. Yet US patent law has not been comprehensively modernized in more than 50 years.
Led by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Ranking Member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the full Senate is now slated to consider the Patent Reform Act of 2011 (S.23). This debate presents an opportunity to forge a new consensus on a reform bill that addresses the most pressing problems with the US patent system as it stands today.
The legal landscape has changed since the Senate took up the patent debate six years ago. Since then, the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit have, through a series of important decisions, provided greater clarity in the law. This has helped curb abuses, rendering some provisions of the current bill unnecessary at this time.
After significant debate among a broad range of stakeholders, BSA believes consensus — and true benefits for inventors of all sizes, across all sectors of the economy — can be now secured by carefully crafting a bill to tackle six key issues:
1.) Funding the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
The USPTO needs the freedom to set its own fees in order to reduce the time in which patent applications remain pending, enhance patent quality and improve the overall efficiency of the Office's operations. These user fees, paid by innovators to fund the essential services the USPTO provides, should not be diverted for other government purposes.
2.) "Weeding out" bad patents
A post-grant review system for patents should be established to provide an early opportunity to challenge newly issued patents and thereby improve overall patent quality. Also, the inter partes reexamination process should be made more effective by removing existing disincentives and avoiding new barriers to instituting a reexamination.
3.) Allowing third parties to submit prior art
Third parties should be allowed to submit prior art for the Patent Office to consider in connection with published patent applications that are pending. This opportunity would enlist the public as a partner with the USPTO in promoting patent quality.
4.) Putting an end to the cottage industry of "false-marking" litigation
There has been a rise in aggressive litigation alleging "false marking" of products containing patented inventions. The damages regime for these false-marking cases should be changed to prevent outsized awards where no one has suffered any actual harm.
5.) Adopting a "first-inventor-to-file" system
The US should join the rest of the world and adopt a "first-inventor-to-file" system.
6.) Non-discrimination between types of inventions
Innovators in the United States increasingly face attempts by foreign governments to restrict the availability of patents in key areas of technology. For many years, US officials have fought against such initiatives, recognizing their impact on US competitiveness. Accordingly, the Senate should reject provisions written so broadly as to ban patenting of any product that contains, for example, a tax-planning feature. Such an exclusion from patentability would invite ill-advised carve-outs from patent protection that would ultimately harm US innovation and competitiveness in the global marketplace.
Much has changed in the last 50 years. It's time for US patent law to catch up. These six elements can form the basis for much-needed reform.

"He did not tell me so it did not happen," he told reporters at Bukit Aman.
Just who was this 'he' that Musa was referring to? An informer? The pastor of the church allegedly attacked? The car owner/s? Huh? NOOOOOOOOO. You can't be serious? Musa can't have a direct line to the Big Policeman in the sky! Or can he? Or was it just bad editing? MI?
P/S I also found this other report in The Malaysian Insider very amusing. This time the foot in the mouth belongs to our Hishamuddin Hussein, the minister of home affairs. This quote is taken verbatim from the new portal......
When asked by a reporter what he thought about accusations hurled at the government for being passive on the church attacks, Hishammuddin slammed the reporter for making such a statement.
"I believe that is totally unfair. You have countries which declared an emergency in the last four days alone. There has been a curfew in a very major country. We on the other hand have had a major incident over the past four days, and the only incident which happened today was the burning of a door."So we're still on that "We better than Ghana..." routine. Yay!

Adapt or Die
Dear Doctor,
There's a video rental store in my home town that went out of business about a year ago. This store was one of hundreds of closures that this particular national chain has suffered in just a few years. This chain faded very quickly in prominence with the rise of Redbox and Netflix.
Just like the near extinction of record and CD stores due to rapidly evolving technology, the traditional big box video rental stores with gigantic bloated overhead expenses are quickly becoming a thing of the past. This chain who dominated the video rental market for years failed to identify and adapt to the changes in the industry.
Their attempt to compete with their new competitors by offering a direct mail rental option has failed miserably due to their slow reaction to the changes within their industry.
Even more mind boggling is the fact that another company moved into the space vacated by the national chain store and opened another video store!
The replacement store was out of business within two months.
The lesson here is clear.
If you fail to anticipate, identify and react to changes within your market, your business will fail.
I see this within the dental profession every day.
The emergence of corporate dental chains, fewer dentists retiring and nearly 5,000 new dental graduates each year has led to increased competition in every market.
Despite the fact that competition is intense and many markets are saturated with dental professionals, many practice owners still fail to have effective systems in place for patient acquisition, patient retention, referral generation, patient reactivation and overhead control.
Many of these same dentists have bought into the fact that the economy is to blame.
Just like the video rental chain, they have failed to identify and adapt to the changes within their market place.
If you are the THE dentist in your market to identify the changes that dentistry is facing right now and react quickly and decisively, you could be the dentist that rises to the top.
History has shown that more fortunes are made during and immediately following economic crisis.
These fortunes were made by the courageous innovators that saw what the masses did not see… and they were paid handsomely for it.
This is now happening in our profession.
Get the information, tools and support that you need to make your mark today.
All the Best,
Mark Costes, DDS

Food by Becky Claydon & Paul Turner
Ideas by Richard Watkins
Photos by Josh Turner
From The Darkness was the second in a series of themed supper clubs, with fine food and ideas to start conversations. The first evening 'Thanks' in November was inspired by American thanksgiving dinner – and ideas that explored the value and nature of gratitude. This time round we dive into darkness, looking for what we can see and how it tastes.
The evening began with a choice of cocktails: a Dark & Stormy or a Lapsang Souchong infused Old Fashioned. Before we started eating, we were asked to think about darkness as a neutral physical phenomena, outside the "light as good / dark as evil" metaphor. To help us on the way we explored a few other metaphors for darkness – looking at it's virtues: romance, rest, quiet, and privacy.
We served up sharing plates inspired by flavours and dishes from the middle east and north Africa, as with heady and fragrant spices, citrus, and smoky and grilled meat and vegetables. We wanted to challenge guests with a set of dishes that spoke to flavours both dark and light. Dishes included smoky and sour aubergines, charred lamb, musky tamarind cod, all counter balanced with cooling labneh, sharp spicy citrus salad and a rich, sweet chicken pastilla.
For our second idea we were asked to reflect on what bitter, burnt, sour and spicy flavours add to the palate – and how they enrich our experience. We were drawn to compare these to dark emotions – anger, fear and sadness – and prompted to consider emotions as a palate too. While we may not want to be overwhelmed with a dark flavour or emotion, they have a unique depth to add to our experiences.
To end the meal we served guests a light coconut pannacotta, with blood orange, orange blossom icecream and a pistachio orange financier, rounded with rich dark roast coffee.

Nation honors 9/11 victims
Joshua Waddles
Monday, September 11, 2017
Malvern, AR
Today, the nation honors the 2,996 who died in the terrorist attack on 9/11, 2001. These attacks killed 2,606 at the World Trade Center and surrounding areas, 246 in the hijacked planes (not including the 19 terrorists) and 125 at the Pentagon.
World Trade Center casualties included 343 firefighters and 71 law enforcement officers who attempted to rescue trapped victims before the towers collapsed. Many rescuers were inside the towers at the time, climbing the stairs on foot and trying to reach victims trapped at the top of the 104-floor towers.

Amerex Class D Fire Extinguiser Brochure
Class D fire extinguishers are specifically designed for combustible metal fires. Fires involving metals such as magnesium, sodium, potassium and sodium-potassium alloys are extinguishable with the Class D extinguisher. This is ideal for a metal shop and other places where metals are heated.
There are two models to choose from.
Contains a special blended Sodium Chloride based dry powder extinguishing agent. Heat from the fire causes it to cake and form a crust excluding air and dissipating heat from burning metal. Metals fires involving magnesium, sodium, potassium and sodium-potassium alloys can be extinguished with this fire extinguisher.
Contains a copper extinguishing agent specially developed by the U.S.. Navy for fighting lithium and lithium alloy fires. The copper compound smothers the fire and provides an excellent heat sink for dissipating heat. Copper powder has been found to be superior to all others known fire extinguisher agents for lithium.
Sizes Available: 9.0kg with hose and wall bracket

Be SAFE , use our fire safety app for high rise buildings.
Edison, NJ (PRWEB) September 29, 2016
Smart App Fire Exit (SAFE)
SAFE is a monitory safety precaution system aimed to help people during emergency situations. It is a mobile solution for both Android and iOS that provides notifications and visual guidance for users to reach the nearest fire exit in case of an emergency.
The goal of the system is to help users identify the quickest exit routes in case of an emergency. The system provides a direct channel of communication between the buildings emergency control system and those users inside the premises. This allows users to be in complete awareness of events taking place within the vicinity.
Emergency Response units will highly benefit from the system in that it will allow administrators to determine how many people are located in each floor. This is a huge advantage as it will directly impact the time it takes to locate people in need of help as well as managing response units to respective floors.
Through its push notification system, the mobile application will be alerted of ongoing threats and will have the ability to inform and guide individuals to a safe location.
Floor detection is one of the main features of the mobile application. When an emergency notification is received, the user is presented with an option to open up the application or trigger an alarm automatically (Android only). Once the application opens, it will attempt to use various device components in order to determine the floor the user is currently located within the building and then send the information to the centralized emergency system.
The SAFE mobile application provides a solution for end-user consumers looking for peace of mind in high rise buildings, while at the same time providing a powerful tool for building owners and emergency response units who want to locate people in high rise buildings. With the growing concern for security and rise in emergency situations (active shooter threats, etc.) we feel SAFE is a must have in your phone's arsenal of tools.
For more information and details on when the application will be available, please check our website: http://nam-it.com

Wax The Coping: Josh Row's Epic Art Endeavor
My friend Josh Row is currently on the fourth year of his Daily Deck project: a self-assigned task of designing a skate graphic a day for 365 consecutive days. At completion, he will have created 1,460 unique, individual graphics. I hit him up to see why in the hell he's creating so much unnecessary work for himself. —Michael Sieben
Photo: Dharam Khalsa
What was the initial inspiration for the Daily Deck? Had you seen a similar design project that sparked the idea?
I had heard of folks doing a drawing a day type or people taking a photo a day. I really enjoy hyper productivity and being in a constant work flow and I love designing boards so the idea just seemed like a very natural direction. I hadn't really seen anything like it either.
Was there ever a time during that first year, or since, that you felt like abandoning the project?
Many, many times. Some days are so full of crap you have to do and on top of that you still have to make this design that you aren't gonna get paid for and will take anywhere from an hour to three hours of your time—that can make you want to beat your head on something and say, "Fuck it." The first year was the hardest, for sure. Now I just wake up at an ungodly hour and knock it out before I do anything else. Lots of coffee is a must.
How many decks in total have you designed for this thing so far?
Have any of the designs become actual decks?
A few have! You used some for Roger, obviously. Wampum skate shop in NY has copped a few. A local company called Pugsly made one. And my friend who had a brand called Brown Boards used about five of them. Also, many of them have become No Comply shop decks, the shop I co-own in Austin, Texas. It really is the best when they actually become real-life decks. It reaffirms why I still do it.
What is your all-time favorite graphic?
Well, obviously the DTF Slay Anything graphic I did for Roger is number one.
Which one do you hate the most?
Honestly, I hate about 80 percent of the ones I designed the first year. It's easy for me to have a favorite, but having a focused negativity about a single graphic is too much of a stretch. I will say I have come a long way since day one.
You've told me that you think people steal designs or concepts from your project. Who do you think is out there ripping off your shit?
Ha! I'm just kidding. I think there are design trends and frequencies out there that designers get on or tap into—especially in skate culture—and that can result in similar looking imagery. I highly doubt anyone is or would consciously rip me off. I mean, I rip off tons of crap. It's part of the skateboarding graphic culture to reappropriate. I can't hate.
Give me a percentage in terms of how many of these are phoned in.
In the first year I was in school full time and working, so I wanna say like 75 percent of them were just crap I made in, like, ten minutes. Year two was a bit better. Probably about 50/50. Year three was, like, 60/40 in favor of the more planned out graphics and this year I am feeling strong. It's always like that in the beginning of the year, though. By the end I am just trying to get to the finish line without losing my legs.
How do you feel about people designing skate graphics that don't skate. Is that wack? Does it matter?
It does kinda stick in my craw, but I can't really think of an instance when that is the case, so whatever. A good design is a good design. Not trying to be too neg. these days.

What's the best comment you've read about this project.
"Dude! That's so f'ing rad! Do you mind if I steal this idea?"
And to follow that up, what's the worst or meanest thing you've read about the Daily Deck?
I posted a link to a design thread on reddit and it just got bashed and trashed. I agreed with everything they were saying, though, and took it all constructively. I also put it on a skate thread called shreddit and it got lots of love, so it's all really a matter of perspective.
What's the end goal here? Are you trying to get work or are you just doing this to strengthen your design and illustration skills?
I think, for me, it's really for the love of doing it and to become a stronger designer. It's a lot like skateboarding in the sense that if you do something enough, and fall and get back up and keep doing it, eventually you won't fall as much and you will make tight shit on the regular.
What would be your dream skate company to do graphics for?
If we are not limited by the space time continuum, H-Street circa Hokus Pokus. If we are limited, then Antihero or Baker would be pretty rad.
What are your three all-time favorite skate graphics?
Matt Hensley's Sign Swinger, Jason Lee's board with the beer, cigs, TV, Bible and gun in front of the flag, and Roger's Ghost with a Boner. Classic.
Who is your favorite skate-graphic designer in the history of this whole thing?
Thats a tough one. There are so many greats. Marc McKee is a pretty hard hitter But Jacob Ovgren is Killing it. His work for Polar is so chill.
Have you gotten any feedback from illustrators or designers that you look up to?
I think Jeremy Fish said my stuff was okay one time.
You've carved out a little niche for yourself by doing graphics for No Comply skateshop in Austin, TX, which you're a partner in, doing freelance design work and you also co-own a company called Show Goat Mural Works. So, basically, you're always hustling. What's your advice to the kids out there that want to someday do what you do, which is essentially not sit in an office 9-5?
Its a never-ending workday, but you are doing what you love to do and nothing can beat that. I had to stop drinking because I can't afford to lose time being hung over. Also never listen to anything someone says that is not following their dream. They don't know shit about you or what you want for your life. Also, don't listen to broke people unless they are telling you what not to do. Put yourself through school but only if you have partied for ten years and are ready to get your shit together. Just keep getting back up from every fall and take every opportunity. You never know where it will lead and if it sucks—just quit. Yolo!
What's the best and worst bit of advice you received when you were starting out as an artist?
Best: "Never stop working." Worst: "Dude! You should work for Monster energy drinks."

So I understand this is the last year for The Daily Deck. What's next?
I don't plan that far ahead.

January successes
So, pats on the back all around. My goal of making + bringing my lunch to work 4/5 days a week in an effort to save money, has been (so far) successful. In fact, since the beginning of the year I think I've only bought lunch twice! I even tried this kind of weird, but good in a way barbecue chickpea cranberry wrap recipe.
So, I should be rolling in the cash, right? Not yet, but high hopes, my friends.
One of the reasons we need to be strict on spending this year is because we have two vacations planned in 2015 already - to San Francisco and Yosemite in June, and a house in Maine in August. And that's just the planned trips. We tend to add on a few short trips here and there. Actually, today we booked a trip to Portland and Seattle, though that is technically a work trip. A work trip with benefits.
What's more, is L. turns 20 months old today.
So, when our SF/Yosemite trip comes, he will be 2. After he turns 2 we have to pay for a seat on the plane for him. Yikes. I suspect the trips will be pulled back after that time. Sigh. No more jet-setting for you, kid!

I could have named this article "Everything Old Is New Again." Using a blog as a marketing tool is as old as the technology itself, but because of the fine-tuning Google and other search engines have made over the years to reward relevant content-rich websites, the benefits of business blogging are in the spotlight again.
What's more, because of the proliferation of social networks, a blog post takes on new life when cross-promoted. Having an asset you can leverage on multiple channels — online and offline — should be all the motivation you need to kick things up a notch. Still, most local business owners struggle and/or fail to publish and cross-promote a weekly blog.
Don't make this harder than it needs to be. The best articles answer the same questions you field on a daily basis from customers and prospects.
My best tip: Listen and ask. Answer questions. Then listen, ask and answer some more.
My 2nd best tip: Don't be afraid to say "Uncle."
If you don't want to handle the content production and follow up in-house, hire it out. Find an expert to write, optimize and cross-promote in social media and email. Be sure they are skilled at extracting your expertise and consistently reflect your company's voice and personality in the posts they produce for you. This is critical. Simple, but not always easy.
Whether you hire me or a different blog content manager – don't let the challenge of finding time and talent to create and leverage educational marketing content sabotage your best intentions for reaching revenue goals. You will be rewarded.

Last Friday, Oculus released a software update blocking Revive — a piece of software that allowed users to port Rift games they'd bought from the Oculus store onto HTC's Vive headset. However, it seems Oculus's intervention may have backfired, with an update to Revive not only allowing users to port titles again, but also bypass the Rift's DRM in the process, opening the door to easier VR piracy.
"I really didn't want to go down this path"
In posts on Reddit and GitHub spotted by Motherboard, Revive developer LibreVR said their intention was not for users to steal games. "I really didn't want to go down this path, but I feel there is no other way," wrote LibreVR. "I still do not support piracy, do not use this library for pirated copies." They add that the software currently works for VR games using the Unreal Engine, and that support will be extended to those using the Unity Engine in the next update.
LibreVR told Motherboard that if they could find a way to port Rift games without bypassing its DRM they would do so. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey previously said he wouldn't mind if users tinkered with the Rift's games so that they "run on whatever [platform] they want," but perhaps it was the ease of use of the Revive software that changed his mind. Whatever the case, we'll be waiting to see if Oculus blocks the updated Revive in its next update, and if Revive can continue to rise from the dead.
Thank you for your visit to this page Oculus Rift update accidentally makes piracy easier. I hope this article can provide benefits to you.

Note: Since I originally wrote this post, it looks like the website where DroidBattles was being hosted no longer exists. There appear to be similar projects around which may or may not be related (I haven't had time to check). For example, here and here.
OK, so it's not exactly a 'real' assembly language, but DroidBattles seems to be an awesome bit of software anyway. The concept is really very simple — you program 'bots' (or droids) using an assembler-style language, and pit them against each other in an arena. Read more "DroidBattles" — makes learning assembler fun!

Here is a short list of some of the issues that are pending resolution:
WordPress automatic updates – automatic updates from the Dashboard fail. Permissions were the original suspected cause of this problem, but research indicates that this might be related to the FTP server application. This will be tested by returning to the more robust Rumpus FTP server.
Advanced Category Excluder – this plugin is apparently not compatible with WordPress 3.1. Incompatibility with PHP 5 is suspected. The plugin author has not updated the code. So alternatives are being investigated to work around the issue.
Theme incompatibilities – some WordPress themes, generally the older ones, do not work well under WordPress 3.1/PHP 5. If these themes cannot be updated with fixes, then suitable alternatives will be installed.

Are you guilty of cyber-bullying without knowing it?
Next time you're using your social media accounts, take a good, close look at the comments left by you and your friends. I'll bet you'll find a few that to anyone else would smack of cyber-bullying. Could any one of us be guilty of cyber-bullying without knowing it?
I've noticed a disturbing trend in the use of social media. Although everyone is guilty of this to some extent, I've noticed that teenagers and young adults in particular are in the habit of making comments to others that, on the surface, seem rude, negative, and even downright insulting. If any one of the comments I've seen was directed toward me, I'd be taken aback at the very least and might be emotionally hurt.
At times when I've noticed my son doing this, I have attempted to take him to task, only for him to respond impatiently, "Oh Mom, they're friends! We do this to each other all the time! We're used to it."
This may very well be true, but my problem with this is that it creates an environment where others who don't know us or our friends and family see these comments and think this behavior is acceptable as a general rule – especially children.
We all need to monitor our own online output and ask ourselves this, "Would someone I don't know well take offense or be hurt by my comments?" If the answer is "yes," start over. Rewrite your comment as though the person on the other end is someone you don't know well.
A perfect example of this behavior is a Facebook post I addressed on my personal blog, Feathering the Empty Nest (see upper right) in which a user posted comments that, on the surface were made to appear to be complimentary towards a fat person. The truth is, I took great offense and I explain why in that article.
It's one thing to talk to and treat each other like this in person and in good humor because we're not affecting others. The internet, whether we like it or not, is like living in a fishbowl and we should be governed by the same standards we are in our school and work life.
Please think twice about what you leave on the internet for others to see and read.

A little while ago I wrote about becoming too immersed in design that I couldn't see the forest for the trees. Well in search of the forest, and more time with friends and in a design-free (head)space, I seem to have tilted the scales a little too far the other way. While most of my peers in term 3 are stressing out over the amount of work that we've barrelled through this term, I somehow feel the opposite. Almost as if I've barely done a thing at all that is worth any greatness.
Of course this can't be true. Up until this point I've handed everything in, although some were a tad late. A recent Facebook status update sums it up: I think my expectations of productivity need to be lowered so I actually feel as if I've done something. I'm always working, all of my assignments get handed in, yet I feel I do nothing outside of class. This is obviously not the case.
Why do I not feel as stressed out as my friends. Well, I don't think I have the answer to that. Due to the fact that a recent migraine that I'm still dealing with, has taken me out of a productive state for four days, contradicts my previous statement. The only answer I have is I'm human. It's taken me a long time to admit to it, but I'm not a super hero, I can't save the world with spandex and a cape. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to try some other way. Trial and error and enjoy the ride.
Hopefully term 4 will be a better balance of all things, design and otherwise.

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - South Sudanese rebel leader Riek Machar flew into the Ethiopian capital on Thursday for face-to-face talks with his rival President Salva Kiir, a senior member of the rebel negotiating team told Reuters.
Earlier, Machar's spokesman had said the rebel leader was on his way to Addis Ababa and was committed to meeting Kiir, who sacked Machar as deputy president in July. That act reignited their long-running political feud and sparked fighting in mid-December that has killed thousands of people.
