Superb 9.0 From 1,171 reviews
Great place right in the middle of the city. Rooms were small but clean, cool and quiet. Nice breakfast and roof top bar.
24 hr super helpful and friendly concierge, small market deli on site, great restaurant & bar with super cool atmosphere where locals hang out, roof top bar with great view of the city. Room & bath was adequate size Location was great and hotel.guided us to garage that was cheaper compared to others. Breakfast was great, variety of items for any taste.
Clean and luxurious feeling for a cheap cost. The hotel is located in the central Stockholm which makes you able to walk everywhere. Breakfast was amazing, rooms where very quiet. The security to be able to access the rooms where high which made it feel safe. Cozy lighting and smart tv with good sound. Very pleased with my stay at Urban Deli!
This is basically a hostel with hotel pricing, with rooms in a basement bunker underneath a busy restaurant/food store that also functions as a reception and lobby. For a holiday overnight it might be fine (if you can get a cheap rate), but if you're looking for a full-service hotel with a lobby for work and meetings, this is NOT the place.
Amazing location, beautiful cafe, friendly staff

Two of my kids became addicted to Civilizations V over Christmas break – they would probably like some of these other games when they've gotten more than Civilizations.

A cost-free social-focused game, Club Cooee is an on-line planet focused on fashion, shopping, and customising your avatar.

The game originally launched with 3 increasingly tough worlds but now also involves multiplayer (PvP or co-operative) along with far more biomes.

my space
There has been a lot of sorting and tidying going on round here, especially in this room, where I make and sew.
I've been finding my work space a bit uninspiring, full of too many boxes of fabrics, lace and buttons, sketchbooks and notepads. So I decided to go through each area, only keeping the items that I really love right now and not keeping things just in case they become useful later, that's how I ended up with all this stuff.
I've been getting lots of tips from my lovely friend Natasha on the subject of decluttering. There must be something in the air at the moment, as I notice lots of people are adopting the less is more approach to life. It's quite addictive, once you get going.
I've tried to do this before, but seem to always end up rearranging my stuff, but not actually getting rid of anything, but not this time. It took quite a few sessions, but in the end I've donated over half my fabrics, buttons and lace to my old primary school, for the kids to use in their latest project, making puppets, and the rest I either recycled or it just went in the bin.
It's so important to have an inspiring, uplifting, uncluttered space to work in..and live in..
Other inspiring things lately have been...
Listening to this podcast from the Natural History Museum ( I love Monty Don)

All high-profile officials of law enforcement agencies have been instructed to remain on high alert to quell possible election violence in the country.
Sources said vested quarters may carry out vandalism and other violence to worsen the law and order over the 23 December general election.As part of security measures, all additional inspectors general, deputy inspectors general and superintendents of police were put on high alert, sources at the Police Headquarters said.
Even, all the intelligence branches have also been asked to remain alert to sabotage.
Police supers and deputy police supers have been directed to keep close monitoring of secret militant activities, the sources added.
Detective branches are busy preparing a fresh list of militants staying in or outside jail.
After submitting the list, law enforcers will carry out a joint operation against militants in the capital and elsewhere in the country.
Like 2013 and 2014, BNP and Jamaat activists may carry out massive violence in the country, detective sources said.As part of their security measures, law enforcers have already intensified their patrols in different parts of the country.
In separate drives, cops have already arrested many leaders and activists of Jamaat-Shibir in different places on charges of vandalism.
Law enforcers and members of intelligence branches also keep close watch on many leaders and activists of the BNP-Jamaat alliance involved in the 2013-14 violence.
Security measures have been tightened further as BNP and other opposition parties are taking preparations for an anti-government movement to realise their demands.
Bloody clashes may break out between activists of the ruling and opposition parities.
Many fear that country's political situation will worsen if the major parties fail to bring a fruitful solution to election issues.
"As part of their blueprint, militants have reportedly started coming out of
their hideouts and regrouping, intelligence sources said.
Inspector General of Police Mohammad Javed Patwary warned that sabotage or anarchy in the name of movement will not be tolerated.
Law enforcers are now on high alert to possible violence in the country, he added.

No Cunning Plan
Tony Robinson
No Cunning Plan
Tony Robinson is most famous for playing the role of Baldrick in Blackadder but he made his first professional appearance at the age of 13 in the original stage version of Oliver! and went on to appear with the Chichester Festival Theatre, the RSC and the National Theatre.
It wasn't all plain sailing though. Along the way he was bullied by Steve Marriott, failed to impress Liza Minnelli and was pushed into a stinking London dock by John Wayne. He also entertained us with Maid Marion and Her Merry Men (which he wrote and starred in) and coped manfully when locked naked outside a theatre in Lincoln during the live tour of comedy series Who Dares Wins. He presented Time Team for 20 years, watching countless gardens ruthlessly dug up in the name of archaeology, and risked life and limb filming The Worst Jobs in History.
Tony Robinson returns to Bristol (his home for many years) in a funny, self-deprecating and entertaining look back at how the boy from South Woodford went from child stardom to the comedy icon Baldrick, the loyal servant and turnip aficionado in Blackadder.
Tony Robinson's talk will be followed by a Q&A with Festival of Ideas Director, Andrew Kelly. There will also be a book signing in the Backstage Bar afterwards.

Clutch body shake situation: 1. You gave too much throt […]
Clutch body shake situation:
1. You gave too much throttle in the front gear and even exceeded the idle speed in the next gear. Causes the vehicle speed to be faster. After you shift gear, the vehicle is forced to decelerate by the engine, so it will shake. If you give the throttle, you can increase the speed of the engine gear and reduce the speed gap between the engine gear and the forum gear, thus reducing the Small shock. The
2. Your front gear has too few throttles and the speed is too slow. In extreme cases, if you start with 2 or 3 gears, the body will shake very badly. This is due to the fact that the engine gear forces the tire gears in a semi-linked situation. If you lightly feed oil, you can shorten the jitter time.

This December 8 marks the date of the 10th annual HoHoTO holiday party, Toronto's digital community celebration event of the year. This annual event is a chance to give back and help shape the future of the professional community. With over $400,000 raised for local charities, we are proud of what we've accomplished over the years, and excited about what lies ahead as we look to shape inclusivity and drive positive, rewarding change across the digital community.
An epic party that makes a difference
From startups to enterprise, marketers to business leaders, new tech organizations to established bricks and mortar, every year we invite leaders, professionals, and students from across the digital community to join us at the Mod Club for an epic party that raises money for a series of year-round workplace diversity initiatives. With 500 annual attendees, the party represents an opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals and diversity organizations in the upstairs lounge and celebrate the year with drinks, dancing, and more on the main floor. Better still, ticket sales and supporting sponsors help raise money for a variety of year-round initiatives.
Workplace diversity is a complicated issue
We understand the complexity of workplace diversity in the digital industry. It's clear from our work over the years that the workplace diversity challenge is exacerbated by a lack of access and engagement in digital pursuits by youth, particularly girls and young women.
Consider this: when you have a university computer science class with only a handful of women, you end up having dozens more men ready to be hired into the workforce.
Ultimately, it's not enough to connect with and support current professionals; we need to engage youth to encourage participating in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses at a young age, while highlighting the opportunities, challenges, and rewards of a career in related fields.
At the same time, there is work to do at the professional level, connecting women and people of colour to supportive peers and opportunities, highlighting the benefits of diversity in any sized organization, and continuing to lead by example by hosting inclusive events and promoting a diverse group of successful professionals from across our community.
Our initiatives make an impact
We know how we can make an impact and we've established a mix of initiatives to do just that. This begins with our events—including HoHoTO, and more—and continues with our mentorship programs and ongoing efforts to highlight professionals and organizations who are already making a difference through our women in STEM content series.
Events: From our massive end of year HoHoTO party to our Disrupting with Digital professional event series, we lead by example, hosting inclusive events year round.
Mentorship programs: From our and Girls' Tech Tour, where girls to visit companies across Toronto to hear from professional women who are leading STEM organizations, to our youth mentorship program which connects professional women to individual girls to support them as they pursue careers in STEM.
Women in STEM series: videos, interviews, and articles highlighting professional women as well as organizations and events who are excelling at business through their inclusivity efforts.
Most importantly, money raised at HoHoTO is donated to YWCA Toronto Girls' Centre. The Girls' Centre in east Toronto is the only centre of its kind in Canada, serving girls ages 9-18, of all ethnicities and belief systems, by providing a safe space, food, activities, and learning programs, 7 days a week.
By supporting this centre and initiating programs for young women to learn more about technology-driven businesses and entrepreneurship, while giving them access to technology—from computers to programming to connected devices—we're setting the stage for more women and minorities to pursue digital careers.
We need your help to do more
In the end, we are a volunteer organization. Committee leaders, Niya Bijaj, Lee Dale, Raj Kutty, and Ryan Taylor—along with our complement of supporters and additional volunteers—run this organization in addition to our day jobs. In order to continue to grow our impact, we need to grow our volunteer base.
With the full complement of initiatives, there are a number of opportunities to support. Despite all we've accomplished, we're just getting started, and we need your help to continue to grow our impact. Supporting is as easy as purchasing a ticket for this year's event and enjoying a great party with your peers, but we encourage you to reach out with your ongoing support as a volunteer.
Key areas where we're looking for support now include:
Women who are interested in telling their story as part of our Women in STEM series of interviews and articles
Women interested in youth mentorship and speaking at related events such as our Girls' Tech Tours
Sponsorship outreach
Speakers for upcoming professional events
Connecting with organizations who are making a difference with their diversity initiatives
Content writers and creators
Connect with us at email@example.com and let us know how you can help us make an impact on workplace diversity.

REDLANDS >> Can South El Monte's sophomore duo scoring sensations outwork Arrowhead Christian Academy's senior triple threat in Saturday's CIF Southern Section Division 6 girls soccer championship game?
A winner's plaque will go to the team that best sets up its defensive alignment. It could all come down to physical play more than elusive and athletic maneuvering.
"The first tackles in the first five, 10 minutes of a game," said Cassidi Calzaretta, one of those three ACA scoring seniors, "will tell us what we need to know."
In a division title match hosted by the Eagles, ACA's 17-4-2 record is virtually matched by South El Monte's 19-5-2 mark.
It might wind up being a simple matchup of strong-willed seniors against the up-and-coming 10th-graders.
Calzaretta and Taryn Clark put that all on display in last week's semifinal showdown against Ambassador League rival Ontario Christian.
"We've played together for four years," said Clark, the second senior. "We know what each other does on the field."
Then there's Faith Joyner, who plays atop ACA's midfield. Joyner went scoreless against Ontario Christian but won plenty of balls, ran others down and used her past cross-country fitness to outlast her midfield opponents.
She's another weapon; Joyner has 21 goals plus seven assists.
Two of those goals came in ACA's two previous wins over Ontario Christian. It's safe to say, perhaps, the Knights were playing Joyner somewhat tough Saturday.
It might have sprung Calzaretta and Clark.
Against Ontario Christian, Clark equaled Joyner's team-leading season totals, scoring her 20th and 21st goals, while producing a pair of assists for a team-high 21. Calzaretta's has 19 goals.
It might prove to be a real challenge for South El Monte, which has surrendered just 26 goals in 2018-2019. By comparison, ACA has allowed 25 goals.
Talk about an evenly-charged matchup.
In a reworked lineup, due to a pair of starting defenders not being available, ACA shook up its starting midfield to shore up its defense that was missing regular defenders Nikkole Valle and Taylor Distleberg.
Coach David Clark left his triple threat alone to create.
"We have some speed," he said, "and some ball skills."
It was on full display against Ontario Christian. On occasion, the Calzaretta-Clark duo was seen attacking in a two-against-five mode, surrounded by defenders looking to turn it away. Those defenders didn't succeed in a 5-1 ACA win.
Proclaiming best-bud friendships, Clark and Calzaretta carry that connection onto the field.
Said Calzaretta: "We're yelling at each other. I know where she wants the ball."
South El Monte, meanwhile, will counter with Heather Gomez (26 goals, 16 assists) and Alicia Mariano (20 goals, 7 assists). ACA can't go to sleep on junior Marlen Hernandez (10 goals, 6 assists).
Defenders at both ends will be on alert.
In Calzaretta's case, it's simple: Against Ontario Christian, she physically pounded a four-defender alignment that included two sophomores, a junior and senior. She won the ball, skillfully arching into position for each attack.
On ACA's first goal last weekend, Calzaretta sent a perfect through-ball to Clark, who converted it for a 1-0 lead.
That same duo did the trick again just a couple minutes later, Clark dribbling left of goal, centering a pass to Calzaretta, who netted it for a 2-1 lead.
It took 48 minutes to score again.
Clark's left foot delivered the goal after Calzaretta bullied her way to possession, winning the ball from a pair of Ontario Christian defenders, setting up her friend and teammate to make it 3-1.
Goal No. 4 was a masterpiece Clark touch, deftly leaving it for a Calzaretta' strike after Dallas Otterman and Alice Kok worked to get the ball downfield.
When Kari Sauls won the ball at midfield, she arched a centering pass to Calzaretta, who drew out Ontario Christian's goalkeeper for, perhaps, the match-clinching goal.
The final?
"We've wanted this for four years," said Calzaretta.
"We've played together for that long," said Clark. "It's all set up for us."

With spooky season upon us, people of all ages have started craving fall festivities more and more. From carving pumpkins so early in October that they rot well before Halloween, to downing hundreds of PSL's, anyone and everyone is searching for their perfect fall fix. With these autumn cravings comes the imperative need for the perfect scary movie. However, those who are interested in the new Goosebumps movie sequel, "Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween," should keep searching for that perfect scary flick, because this is not it. What seemed like a fun take on the classic short novels that we all know and love, turned out to be a dull film that belongs buried under the other boring holiday movies at the five-dollar CD bin in Walmart.
I don't mean to sound harsh, I just had pretty high expectations for the movie, which was probably my first mistake, considering that it is a film meant for children. It starts off with your basic characters: Sarah, (Madison Iseman) a senior in high school and aspiring writer, her brother Sonny (Jeremy Ray Taylor), and Sonny's friend, Sam (Caleel Harris). After a cast introduction, we follow the two boys into a haunted house, where they find Slappy, the living ventriloquist dummy, straight out of R.L. Stine's "Night of the Living Dummy." This part I liked, being someone who read almost all of Stine's books as a kid. From there, the dummy proceeds to take over the painfully suburban town and make all the Halloween decorations come alive through the use of an R.L. Stine's novel and Nikola Tesla's electrical tower (don't ask).
The beginning of the movie was promising, with a talented cast and surprisingly accurate depiction of Slappy, but quickly turned into an hour of the young cast screaming and running away from the dummy's Halloween henchmen. Overall, the movie was really missing one major element— the scare factor. Of course, I didn't expect it to be too frightening because of its targeted audience, but the whole point of the Goosebumps series is that they are meant for kids, but still scary. This did not come across at all in the movie.
At the end of the film, the audience finds out that Slappy's primary motivation for terrorizing the town was that he wanted to have a family, which is the least scary motive the directors could have possibly thought of. Why would a maniacal doll's foremost concern be finding a loving and caring family? It doesn't add up. A spooky movie without the spook just is not worth seeing.
"Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween" was definitely a bust and was a severe downgrade from its surprisingly decent prequel. The only audience I can imagine this movie captivating are young kids with a very low tolerance for horror, but I guess that was its true purpose all along.

But in recent years, ski resorts in South Korea have found an ironic yet new target group -- nonskiers.
Major resorts here are trying to come up with fresh ideas every winter, slowly transitioning into "theme parks," where everyone can spend quality time.
The Vivaldi Park resort, located about 60 kilometers east of Seoul in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province, has been frequented by locals and tourists for over two decades. With its modest array of slopes and proximity to the capital city, it receives nearly 3.5 million visitors every year.
|Vivaldi Park Resort's Snowy Land. (Daemyung)
The resort complex owned by Daemyung Group has been at the forefront of transforming into a theme park. It is already equipped with a bowling alley, an arcade, a movie theater, and a mini-amusement park for children.
It set a milestone last winter by launching Snowy Land, a 46,000-square-meter area filled with snowmen and candlelight, atop Maebongsan. It is designed to provide a "winter wonderland" experience incorporating sledding and a Christmas flea market held nearby. Other winter activities, such as ice hockey and curling, are also available, keeping the spirit of the PyeongChang Olympics alive. The Winter Games were held in a nearby town earlier this year.
"We launched Snowy Land last year as a theme park for those who don't enjoy skiing or snowboarding. Children, and visitors in general can have a magical and quality experience at our resort," Hwang Myoung-hun, a PR manager for Daemyung Resort told The Korea Herald.
"We received more visitors than we expected along with positive feedback last year from both skiers and nonskiers, so we added more programs this year," he added.
Meanwhile, the Hansol Oak Valley Resort, in Wonju, Gangwon, not only boasts breathtaking alpine slopes, but unique art exhibitions as well. Museum San, designed by renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando, lies within its perimeters, surrounded by a shallow pool of water known as the Water Garden.
|Concept art for Sonata of Light at the Hansol Oak Valley Resort. (Oak Valley)
Embodying the surrounding nature, the museum is currently running an exhibition called "Meditation in a Landscape," which includes 14 nature-themed artworks by local artists. It is being held through March 3.
This season, expanding its scope of the arts, the resort plans to incorporate state-of-the-art 3D projection-mapping technology into its woods to create an ethereal walking path. A 1.4-kilometer-long route will be divided into five different concepts, all involving the theme of "nature" and "light." The path called the Sonata of Light will be opened to visitors on Dec. 24.
In addition, a virtual reality zone will be open for those interested in an adrenaline rush through a visually-driven experience.
Festivals are another way that nonskiers can spend quality time indoors, and High One Resort in Jeongseon, Gangwon, will host a special Christmas concert this year. Korean pop stars, including songstress Baek Ji-young and reggae duo Haha & Skull, are set to perform onstage on Dec. 23 and 24.
Japanese New Age pianist Yuhki Kuramoto is also scheduled to perform at the resort on Jan. 5.
High One will also illuminate this winter with vibrant fireworks every Saturday in December and on Dec. 31, to celebrate the arrival of the new year.
Now with the resorts' undivided attention, those who had spent time either sulking in their hotel rooms or pitifully catching up on Netflix can enjoy themselves both off and on the snow.

is a pub called the Hero,
"Good evening and welcome to the session,
Dion starts off the session
The crowd s now starting to grow
In strolls the man they call Distan.
Its now the turn of young Distan
Attention now turns to the Master
Beside him on the Bodhran
Now on a Sunday there's lots of great singers
Watch out for him, watch out for Stace,
Alas the night is over, the night is at an end.
A-roo-cha-cha A-roo-cha-cha
The band packs up and heads outside
A year I spent, A year of joy
You can sing a song,say a poem
There is a pub called the hero

We all know consuming alcohol is harmful, as it may lead to liver damage, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, impairment of cognitive skills, development of mental disorders, etc. However, very few of us are aware of its effect on skin. Experts have now found that being a depressant alcohol worsens the pre-existing skin conditions and increases vulnerability to more skin-related problems, especially among women.
According to a new study by the National Health Survey, drinking over 14 units of alcohol in a week on a regular basis causes harm to skin due to its toxicity. Such are the immediate effects of heavy drinking that the skin damage becomes apparent and visible the very next morning. As per the study, one unit is equivalent to 10 milliliters or 8 grams of pure alcohol, the amount of alcohol an average adult can process in an hour. Therefore, both men and women are recommended to avoid consuming over 14 units of alcohol in a week on a regular basis.
Impact of drinking on skin
Some of the major implications of regular and heavy drinking are dark circles and puffiness around the eye, dehydration on the forehead, and fine line and wrinkles on the chin and lips. Additionally, it also leads to broken blood vessels on the cheeks and nose that further causes redness and saggy skin.
Compared to women, men are more capable of coping with such skin issues after drinking. "The side effects in younger women may bounce back faster but skin aging on those in their 20s still lasts a couple of weeks. For men, their skin is able to cope with the effects quicker but it can still take at least a week to recover," highlighted the study. Despite the numerous repercussions, the trend of hazardous drinking still remains high, particularly among youngsters. Therefore, it is essential to avoid regular drinking and switch to lighter drinks like beer.
Excessive alcohol forces kidneys to work more by hindering the production of an antidiuretic hormone. As a result, the kidney removes excess of water from the body system and sends it to bladder rather than sending it to the organs. This leads to the dehydration of all the organs and parts of the body, including the skin. Besides, regular drinking also expunges Vitamin A from the body, which is essential for cell renewal and turnover. Hence, the skin not only appears wrinkled but also dull.
The depletion of the vitamin also causes bloating and swelling of the skin. The red spot on the skin due to alcohol consumption occurs as drinking increases the blood flow that dilates the blood vessels of the face and skin (can be a permanent damage as well) and burst to leave the capillaries broken and irreparable. As alcohol adversely impacts a person's appearance, it is essential to keep tabs on one's number of drinks.
Other indirect effects of alcohol on skin
Apart from the above immediate impact of heavy and regular drinking, skin damage due to alcohol also occurs indirectly like:
- Elasticity of skin: According to experts, toxins produced by alcohol aggravate cellulite in the body, which further affects the elasticity of the skin.
- Bloodshot eyes: The regular consumption of alcohol interferes with the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep cycle that leads to puffy eyes and dark circles under the eyes. Generally, a person indulging in excessive drinking witnesses bloodshot eyes the next morning due to the enlargement of small blood vessels.
- Premature aging: Most of the alcoholic drinks contain congeners, which causes a hangover and speeds up the aging process.
Avoid alcohol to stay healthy and beautiful
Besides affecting the skin and causing skin-related problems, excessive alcohol consumption can affect the reproductive health and fertility of a person. It can upset the adrenal glands that are responsible for egg health, or may lead to the development of mental disorders like depression. In brief, alcohol affects every part and mechanism of the body from head to toe. Therefore, it is important to limit or avoid the consumption of alcohol.

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, released the following statement regarding the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office oversight hearing:
"The patent landscape has changed considerably in less than a decade. Starting with passage in 2011 of the America Invents Act, known as the AIA, and followed by a number of significant Supreme Court decisions, patent stakeholders have had to adjust to a very different ecosystem in a relatively short amount of time, and one that continues to evolve. Today's oversight hearing on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office presents a good opportunity to examine the state of the patent system, and how Congress and the PTO can partner together to ensure that it works for all stakeholders.
"The AIA represented the most significant overhaul of the patent system in a generation. An important element of that legislation was the creation of a variety of procedures to challenge a patent's validity after issuance by the PTO. These administrative procedures—particularly the inter partes review, or IPR, process—are being used widely, and they have successfully eliminated many patents that should never have been granted in the first place.
"IPRs provide a cheaper and more efficient forum for patent challenges than district court litigation. They also help curb abusive litigation by so-called patent trolls, who purchase weak patents and who use litigation, or the threat of litigation, as a weapon to extort settlements from innocent defendants. By providing a less expensive means of defending against a spurious claim, and by removing many weak patents from circulation, IPR has taken some of the tools out of the patent trolls' arsenal.
"However, some stakeholders are concerned that while weeding out the bad patents, the IPR process is also invalidating many good patents, as well. As a result, they say, the patent system has been severely weakened, and inventors—particularly small inventors—are suffering. Critics of IPR argue that if patent-holders are at too great a risk of having their patents later found to be invalid, they will be unable to attract investors and to make business decisions with any certainty.
"IPR critics also argue that its standards and procedures, which differ from those used in district court—even though they sometimes run concurrently—are unfair and sometimes lead to perverse outcomes in which the same patent is upheld by a district court, but is ruled invalid by the PTO. As we work to strip bad patents from the system, we must strike a balance to ensure that we do not inject uncertainty and unfairness into the marketplace by throwing away good patents along with the bad. I hope that Director Iancu will help us determine what reforms to the IPR system, if any, may be needed to achieve this balance.
"I would note that the PTO recently announced an important proposed rule that would harmonize the claim construction standard in IPR and in district court. I will be interested in hearing the Director's thoughts on what other measures the PTO can take administratively, and what reforms might require congressional action.
"The courts have also played a significant role in shaping the patent system. In just the last few years, the Supreme Court heightened the pleading standards governing patent cases by eliminating Form 18; it loosened the standard for fee shifting in patent cases, which has had a measurable impact on deterring abusive litigation; it tightened the definition in the patent venue statute, which has resulted in a dramatic decline in forum shopping; and, just last month, the Court rejected a challenge to the constitutionality of the entire IPR system. Each of these rulings appears to have brought greater clarity to the patent system, but we will look to Director Iancu for guidance on whether congressional action is needed in response to any of these decisions.
"On the other end of the spectrum is a series of Supreme Court decisions from earlier this decade that narrowed the standard for what is eligible to be patented under Section 101 of the Patent Act. Some stakeholders believe that rather than clarifying the standard, the Court has further muddied the waters. Others believe that the Court's interpretation was too narrow and that otherwise novel inventions that deserve patent protection are improperly being deemed unpatentable. Some stakeholders, however, believe that the Court struck the right balance, and they oppose any changes to this provision. I will be interested to hear from Director Iancu whether he believes that Section 101 is something that either Congress or the PTO should address.
"This Committee has also taken a particular interest in determining whether the covered business method program should be extended and whether any reforms are necessary to prevent abuse of sovereign immunity in patent cases. These are just a few of the many issues that Director Iancu must confront as he takes on responsibility for administering the nation's patent system.
"The United States leads the world in innovation and creativity, which are key drivers of economic growth. But creators cannot safeguard their inventions from infringement, exploit them for profit, or avoid unnecessary litigation, without a strong patent system to protect them.
"It is against this backdrop that we welcome to our Committee for the first time Andrei Iancu, the recently confirmed Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The challenges he faces are numerous, but so are the opportunities he has to reshape the patent system so that it continues to spur the innovation that helps our economy to flourish."

Let's face it, thoroughly cleaning a house every week could really be tiresome. Because of how busy we are, we mostly would prefer to lay down or sit back and enjoy doing nothing for our rest day.
Yes, we understand that that is the main reason why you employ local cleaning businesses instead. However, have you ever thought about adjusting your habits so that even a slight clean-up could already mean big savings?
In this article, we will be providing you with some of the habits that you need to possess or change in order to keep a clean house, and in extension, providing a smaller space for an all-around, intensive, clean-up.
Look After Your Dirt
The problem with most of us is that after we do something that messes the house we just tend to ignore it thinking that we could do it later. What actually happens is that we delay everything until we have to do everything all at once. Now, if you clean right after you do something, it will keep at least the overall appearance of your house, clean.
Keep Cleaning Tools at an Arm's Reach
Basically, the idea of this is that if ever you see something that is not clean or is not what it should appear to be, you can clean it right after. A good example of this is keeping a squeegee in your bathroom to get excess water off the walls and mirrors.
Get Everyone Involved
If you are living with other people, tell them to do the same thing so that the burden will not just fall on you. This way, you will have other people that you can share the important tasks with.
Dedicate a Place for Everything
Since we are also talking about developing habits, it is very important that you assign a place for your things so that whenever something is out of place, it can easily be picked up and brought back to where it was by anyone in the house.Once habitually developed, it'll be easier to have a more organized house.
A Little Bit of Something
Most of our cleaning problems come with the thought of cleaning a lot. With this, we would suggest that you start doing a little bit of something every day to lessen the chores that you have to deal with for the week.
Make a Schedule
One way of developing a habit is to make a schedule and stick with it. Lay out the things that you need to do in a week and find a suitable time to accomplish each. Once you get used to it, keeping a clean house won't be hard anymore.
However, if after all of these suggestions, you still prefer not to clean, then it would be best to call a cleaning business that can serve you well.

"Are you still there Chris?" I heard at about 4am. My tent was flapping in the now blustery wind and if I'm honest I was waiting for the whole thing to take off and end up in the lake! "Yes, just about" was my reply to Paul, who was also praying that his tent remained on the ground. The rain had stopped only to be replaced by gales, so instead of drowning in our tents we were going to take off and end up in OZ! The next hour or so consisted of frequent mutterings and shouting between tents, the language was a little colourful once again! About 6am I'd had enough and I was packing up the sleeping mat and sleeping bag. I could hear Paul muttering under his breath as I headed off to the toilet block.
I had already decided to pack up the tent and get ready to hit the road even though the others were still snoozing in their nice warm hut! I was cold, damp and what little hair I have on my head was looking rather windswept. I returned to the tent and could hear Paul zipping things in his tent, another brief discussion lead to an agreement that we were packing up before the tents flew away (Pauls would take 2 bikes with it as he'd tied his tent to them!) The front of Paul's tent had already given up and was flapping around in the wind. Amazingly, about 15 minutes later we'd managed to get the tents packed even battling the wind that was trying it's hardest to make rolling up the tent an impossible task.
We crept up to the hut, opened the door and made sure the rest of the guys were awake! About an hour later and everyone was packed up and ready to leave, first port of call was to find a petrol station and get a hot coffee!
Soon we were back on the now familiar Swedish motorways bound on each side by the endless sea of trees that seems to cover the entire country. The terrain had changed though, there were the first real signs of large hills and small mountains (are they the same thing?) Rocks were now becoming more common amongst the trees and the air temperature was decreasing.
After a few hours of riding we turned a corner only to be met with a parked car in the fast lane and another on it's roof in between the east and west roads. Clearly this had just happened and we instinctively pulled over to see if there was anything we could do to help. Paul and Gregg approached a girl who looked rather dazed and had been the driver of the overturned SAAB car. She was in shock but seemed coherent and was able to talk OK. She had a few cuts and scrapes on her face but apart from that it wasn't clear if she'd any other injuries. Paul wrapped his jacket around the girl and sat talking to her, a passer by who was Swedish called the emergency services and me and Roy tried to kick the stones and debris that the car had thrown up off the carriageway back into the verge. Maybe 5 minutes later the emergency services arrived and we left them to do their jobs. When I knew she was OK and not hurt I took a couple of snaps to record the incident.
On our way we passed by Lulea, which I hadn't realised the significance of at the time. Lulea is home to one of Facebooks newest data centres! Right on the edge of the Arctic Circle! So all your posts, likes and pictures of cakes may well be stored there. You can find out more here!
A few hours more and a few more fuel stops later and we reached the town where we planned to the rest for the night. The view as we approached was fantastic, a huge river that lead into a lake, in the background a massive hill covered in trees and all this viewed from the campsite! We passed a surreal looking place, hundreds of tractors were all lined up, like a huge tractor graveyard! I wanted to stop and take some photo's but there wasn't time. I figured I would go back once we had set up camp. The only problem was the campsite wasn't open yet! The season hadn't started, we were a couple of weeks too early! Frustrated and tired we looked back at a hotel directly behind the campsite and all decided that it was worth a look. Low and behold the "Grand Arctic Hotel" was also closed, this time due to it being used by the local elections, I guess for counting the votes.
Now all feeling a bit jaded we were about to leave when a guy walked out from a restaurant next to the hotel, he knew the hotel owner and said he'd call him for us. 10 minutes later and the chance of getting a room was nil but a young lad and his girlfriend told us about a place about 15 minutes away that has huts to rent so we jumped at the chance and followed them there.
We rented a couple of huts, me and Paul in one, Vladimir, Roy and Gregg in the other. We had power, a bed and even a cooker (Yes I finally got to brew some tea!)
Me and Gregg went for a wander and to try and get some pictures of the river and area. We ended up on a large bridge on the road leading back to the town where we saw the tractors, both of us were keen to go back and take a look.
There was a restaurant and shop next to the huts so we grabbed some dinner before heading back to the huts for a good night sleep. I stayed awake until gone midnight chatting to my partner on my phone and it never really got dark there, even though the sun set from just after midnight until it rose again around 3am.
We were now not far from the Arctic Circle and at the edge of Lapland!!

Before MAZ kicks the bucket
I occasionally throw out the lie, "that's on my bucket list!"....I don't have a bucket list.
I will hear, see or think of things I want to do, but I don't make a list.
I set aside some time this weekend to think about this topic:
Do I need a bucket list?
Would it be a serious list?
Would it be a fun list?
Would it be ANYTHING I want to do, or what I could ACTUALLY do?
After those 5 minutes, I came up with a plan:
I will randomly blog my thoughts about things I would like to do and therefore my blog could become my bucket list! I even created a category "bucket list".
Hopefully, the ones that love me will read this post and future posts and then do everything in their abilities to accommodate me checking things off the list.
Here are a few to start....
*Travel from coast to coast in an RV stopping and eating the best burgers along the way.
Places like Cotham's Hubcap Burger (which is in Little Rock, so I COULD eat here easily without the RV roadtrip)
*Write my books
Yes, they would be books of nothing, much like this blog...... but I LOVE to write!
I never claimed to be a GOOD writer. OR a writer that looks this good!
*Live in a houseboat on a river
This boat:
Possibly this river:
Scratched off the list:
being a mom of boys
loving a bald man
drowning (that almost ended the bucket list)
taking a back roads tour of Tijuana in a stranger's car (could have ended the bucket list)
running in the rain
running at sunset
grilling burgers with Johnny Depp
sack of potatoes and a floppy fish
My Sunday FRIEND felt it was time to see how far she could push me today. I think she won.
I am so glad I taught school and had kids in my 20s, when I was creative and successful in making all children do the right thing.
After a horrible week of migraines and no sleep, I gave into rationalizing the need my FRIEND would have to roam the halls, instead of sitting with her class.
I convinced myself that it would not set a precedence for what would happen every Sunday.
As we roamed from empty room to empty room, we found objects that started with....whatever letter she chose.
Educational.....but with each shrill and giggle of enjoyment I knew I was losing the idea of ever joining the class for music and story time.
When my FRIEND shot down the hall and up the stairs, I knew I had created future Sunday disasters.
I searched my brilliant brain for a creative way to discourage anymore of these actions.
Knowing that she really doesn't like to be held or forcefully moved, I stupidly said:
"you come down the stairs or I'm going to turn you into a sack of potatoes."
She stared wide-eyed but curious as I picked her up and swung her over my shoulder (like a sack of potatoes).
Her giggles and big smile alerted me that this was NOT going to discourage her.
Trying to salvage the situation, I told her that next Sunday we must join the class:
"What would you like me to bring, for you to hold quietly in your hands, as we sit with the class."
"This fish!" she pointed to the ginormous goldfish swimming in the 1000 gallon tank beside us.
Her feeling of excitement met my "oh, crap" feeling.
Soon her mother arrived.
"Bye Market!", she melts me with the way she pronounces my name.
I can only assume that MOM was wondering why her daughter was roaming the halls with me instead of joining her class, because what is the use of ME if her daughter is not with her peers. MOM gave me an unsure but polite smile and thanked me for being with FRIEND.
"Bye 'FRIEND', see you next Sunday!"
My FRIEND melts me with her smile as she yells, "Market, put me back in the sack of potatoes!"
and skips away.
I glance at MOM. She's not smiling as she turns and hesitantly waves bye to me.
.......now, where to get a fish before next Sunday.......
