Intellectual Property Protection in Myanmar
IP rights are territorial in nature and registrations in Hong Kong are not automatically enforceable in another jurisdiction like Myanmar. Although Myanmar has been a WTO member since 1995, it is classified as an LDC and hence not required to apply almost any of the provisions of the WTO Agreement on trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights (TRIPS) until at least July 2021. Meanwhile, Myanmar does not have a dedicated IP office (only a section under the Ministry of Education) and its legal framework for IP rights does not meet international standards and thus offer inadequate protection for foreign investors.
Against the background, the NLP-led government is currently reforming its outdated IP regime. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MOEST) has prepared four draft IP bills – the trademark law, industrial design law, patent law and copyright law – in co-operation with the Union Attorney General's Office and other government ministries. These laws were submitted to Parliament for promulgation before the end of 2017. After enactment, the body of implementing regulations will take a further three to six months to pass. It is expected the new IP laws will create a simple and cost-effective system of IP registration. Besides, the Myanmar Intellectual Property Office (MIPO) will be established to oversee operations under the new IP laws.
The tables below provide an overview of the current situation for the main IP rights (patents, designs, trademarks and copyright). Hong Kong companies investing in Myanmar should be alert to the new IP laws, and in particular when they are due to come into effect, as action will be required to ensure IP in Myanmar is protected. For example, the draft trademark laws are expected to adopt the first-to-file rule (similar to Hong Kong's trademark law), meaning that foreign brand owners currently doing business in Myanmar, or intending to in the future, will need to be prepared to apply to register their trademarks as soon as the new laws are effective; failure to do so could result in losing the right of their IP.
Overview of Prevailing IP Rights in Myanmar
Patents and Designs
There is currently no law in operation on patents and industrial designs, and the draft patent and design laws are pending parliamentary approval. This means that production, commercial use and trade in goods are possible without the explicit permission of the right-holders, some of whom may hold the patents or design rights outside Myanmar.
While there is no law that specifically covers the registration of industrial designs in Myanmar currently, registration is nonetheless acceptable under the same procedure as that for trademarks. In order to seek protection, it is advisable to protect brand reputation and goodwill with trademarks. Owners of design rights may also seek to rely on "passing off" in enforcing their design rights in Myanmar, although this has largely been untested in the courts.
The registration framework for designs will be a typical first-to-file system and registrability will be assessed on the basis of novelty and distinctiveness. A design is deemed novel if it has not been displayed, used, published, or exhibited prior to the filing of the application.
A law on trademarks is pending in the parliament and there is no law on registration of trademarks in Myanmar (other than the Burma Copyright Act 1914). While the Penal Code 1860 defines a trademark as "a mark used for denoting that goods are the manufactured merchandise of a particular person", it provides little guidance or protection. References to trademarks can also be found in laws including the Criminal Procedure Code, Private Industrial Enterprise Law and Merchandise Marks Act.
Despite a lack of trademark registration legislation in Myanmar, a customary practice has been developed by which a trademark owner may make a Declaration of Ownership with the Office of Registration of Deeds in Yangon or Mandalay under the Registration Act 1908. Once the declaration is registered, it is customary and advisable to publish a Cautionary Notice in local newspapers informing the public not to infringe that trademark. In the event of infringement, foreign or domestic marks owners can present the declarations to the authorities to enforce their rights. It is also advisable to contact an attorney in Myanmar to assist with trademark registration and related processes.
Copyright for written work, film, music or software is protected by the Burma Copyright Act (1914) and are protected for the lifetime of the author or creator plus an additional 50 years after death.
There is no mandatory registration in Myanmar, with copyright protection automatically provided upon creation of a recognised work. While foreign copyrights are not recognised in Myanmar at present, the recognition of foreign copyrights is likely to be included in future copyright laws with protection covering works created by nationals of members states being signatories to treaties, agreements or conventions related to copyright to which Myanmar is a member.
If an author or right owner wishes to register their copyright after enactment of the new copyright law, they may file an application with the MIPO following its establishment. In the event of copyright infringement, they can pursue administrative, civil and/or criminal action.
Enforcement of IP Rights
Prior to the promulgation of new IP laws and releases of related regulations, there are only limited ways to enforce the IP rights protection due to the absence of specific IP laws to recognise and protect various IP rights. In this connection, companies should avail themselves to the registration procedures in existence, and attempt to enforce the protection of trademarks with the following options available:
1. In relation to imported goods bearing the recorded trademarks, these marks need to be registered trademarks with the Myanmar Customs Department of the Ministry of Finance. Goods bearing the registered trademark yet imported by any party other than the local company granted with the right will be detained at customs.
2. Criminal or civil enforcement – this route should only be taken if a company can:
- Establish a connection to their trademark through actual use within Myanmar
- Prove that misrepresentation to the public has been made
- The suffered damage as a result of the misrepresentation
Currently, IP right infringement cases are handled through a complicated judicial system and many companies have used mediation to resolve IP disputes. It will remain to be seen how the new IP regime will sink in and foreign companies in the interim should seek legal advice from an attorney in Myanmar to decide on the best course of IP protection and enforcement.

Lenovo is a very popular brand these days and they have made many different models to choose from. Let's get into what the new 2016 Lenovo IdeaPad 710S 13-inch laptop has to offer. It's an all new high end ultrabook made to compete against the Asus ZenBooks and the Dell XPS 13.
With this new Lenovo you're getting a Skylake base Intel Core i5 at 6200U, 8GB of RAM, a 13.3-inch IPS anti-glare 1920 x 1080p display and 128GB PCIe Solid State Drive (SSD). And this laptop sells for $799.99USD.
On the left side of the notebook you will find the charging port, USB 3.0, a headset/microphone jack combo and the Lenovo Onekey Recovery Pin. On the right side it has the power status LED indicator, SD card reader, USB 2.0 and a mini HDMI port.
Interior and Exterior Design:
The top cover is awesome with its magnesium alloy design that feels very durable and looks sleek. The bottom plate is made of full aluminum which will add strength and durability to this laptop. Weighing in at a mere 2.6 pounds it is one of the lightest notebooks on the market, it even edges out the Dell XPS that weighs 2.7 pounds. Not to mention it's also one of the thinnest laptops selling on the market measuring only 0.55-inches.
The interior looks very nice with the super thin bezels found on the XPS 13. Almost giving you a full left to right infinity screen look. The bottom features a magnesium alloy palmrest that also adds a nice touch. The big difference here is that the 720MP webcam is up top with a slightly thicker bezel compared to the XPS that has it located on the bottom left corner. Overall Lenovo really did a great job with the 710S.
Build Quality:
Now we are going to discuss the build quality of this laptop. The keyboard was nicely designed and yields very little keyboard flex. The magnesium lid is pretty durable and it too offers very little flex and is pretty much on par with other ultra-thin notebooks. The last places to check for flex is the top cover, and due to the magnesium alloy, it is nice and rigid, and only allowing for a small amount of flex. Same goes for the aluminum bottom plate, it's solid. To access the internal components simply remove the bottom screws, be sure to not forget the 2 under the rubber footing. Once you gain access to the inside you will see the 46-watt hour battery pack, the 2 bottom facing speakers on the left and right, your 128GB PCIe SSD, 8GB of soldered onboard RAM and your wireless card.
CPU and GPU:
You will find the read speed on this PCIe to be pretty quick at 940.0MB/s; however, the write speeds are below average at only 161.8MB/s. This model features a Skylake based chip Intel Core i5 at 6200U. This chip offers more than enough horsepower for average daily usage, multimedia, and even some coding programs.
The 710S also features the Intel HD graphics 520 card. On low settings of 1366 x 768 you can expect to play games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and get around 50 to 60 frames per second. At 1920 x 1080p it will drop to about 35-45 fps.
This 13-inch IPS display is gorgeous. It offers excellent and accurate color reproduction and text and images are pretty sharp. This panel will have no issues holding its ground against its competitors. The Spyder4pro charts the sRGB at 93% and the Adobe RGB at 72%. Brightness levels are pretty good even at keeping the settings around 60-70%. Since it's featuring an IPS anti-glare display you will get awesome viewing angles with much less reflection.
Keyboard and Trackpad:
The glass trackpad is very large and the surface offers a good smooth texture. Two-finger scrolling is pretty responsive, but there are occasional issues with tracking. The multi-touch gestures are a bit choppy as well, with these issues it's similar to the Lenovo Flex 2. Hopefully a driver update corrects these issues.
You will get a standard full size keyboard with small keys that offer a comfortable typing experience. The key travel does feel a bit longer than the 1.3mm travel on the XPS. One odd thing about your keystrokes on this keyboard is the mini shift key on the right. That takes some time getting used to. Once again Lenovo opted to put in a backlit keyboard with the medium or high setting being your two choices.
The two bottom facing JBL speakers are decent for the laptop's small size. The mids and highs were well balanced and the sound quality is great.
This 710S features a 46 WHR battery pack which is a little smaller than the competitors. With casual usage of web browsing, media streaming and word processing ended up with about 5.5 – 6.5 hours on a full charge, with the power saver mode on you may be able to squeeze out 7.5 hours.

Within a pitched slate or tiled roof there are usually one or two layers.
Roofs constructed pre 1950 were usually laid without any felt or insulation underneath the rafters, meaning that the only layer is the tiles / slates themselves. This often leads to the loft space being unusable as dirt, dust and damp gets underneath the tiles / slates into the roof space ruining anything stored there.
Roofs constructed between the 1950s and 1980s were usually constructed with a non breathable membrane underneath the roof tiles / slates forming two layers. This formed an effective barrier to seal the roof from dust and dirt, but can, in severe winter weather conditions, trap moisture leading to condensation and damp issues.
It was rare for roofs of this age to be constructed with any insulation, although many will have had insulation added since.
Roofs constructed after the 1980s will usually have been constructed using a breathable felt underneath the tiles / slates, sealing the roof against dust and dirt whilst still allowing it to breathe, thus preventing most condensation issues.
Insulation will often have been added as well - although this will often have been laid on top of the celiling of the rooms below the roof, meaning that the roof will still have two layers as such.

4 Ways to Balance Your Employee Benefits Program
Employee benefits, from health insurance to employee discounts, play an important role in helping companies attract and keep high quality employees. Providing benefits today is fraught with complication, due to new legal requirements and a workforce that is increasingly diverse.
Being able to offer tailored benefit packages is a real plus for today's employer.
When your company's benefit plan is tailored to the Baby Boomer in her fifties, you may have trouble attracting Millennials to fill vacancies, and vice versa. Balancing employee benefits programs is critical for maintaining a competitive edge. Here are 4 ways to help balance your employee benefits program in 2014 and beyond.
1. Leverage Expertise on Health Insurance Options
In 2013, 57% of companies offered health insurance benefits. In 2014, implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has resulted in a majority of organizations developing strategies to deal with ACA implementation. Many companies are already changing employee benefits programs to avoid a tax on high-cost plans that begins in 2018, including by raising employee out-of-pocket expenses, such as higher copayments and higher deductibles. Employees are often overwhelmed with information and may be unsure about their best choice, particularly at companies that offer cash benefits to help pay for plans employees purchase on the ACA exchanges. Being able to clearly spell out options and offer guidance is critical to providing a well-balanced benefits portfolio in 2014.
2. Offer Personalized Help with Retirement Planning
Most employers no longer offer traditional pension plans, so it's up to employees to learn how to make the most of 401K plans offered by their employers. Contribution limits in 2014 remain the same as they were in 2013, and helping employees understand company matching programs, (where available) is important for helping them maximize 401K employee benefits. Many employees, however, are unsure of how to balance the investments in their 401K portfolios based on their age and goals. An increasing proportion of companies are offering one-on-one retirement planning coaching, and this can be of great benefit for employees who want to maximize 401K gains while investing within their preferred risk zones.
3. Consider Domestic Partner and Same Sex Benefits
Review retirement and health insurance plans to ensure they comply with all applicable laws.
Walmart made headlines last August when it announced the addition of same-sex domestic partner benefits in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, after the June Supreme Court Windsor decision. There is much for employers to do, even in states that do not recognize same-sex marriage. For example, employers should revisit the definition of "spouse" in their health insurance plans and may need to stop imputing income to employees for the value of health benefits provided to same-sex spouses. Plan language in qualified pensions should also be revisited to ensure it is in keeping with the Supreme Court ruling so your company can continue offering health and pension benefits to employees.
4. Consider a Choice Model Benefits Exchange for Flexibility
The workforce is more diverse than ever, and one-size-fits-all employee benefits packages have fallen out of favor. However, some employers are turning to "choice model" exchanges in order to offer employee benefits plans that are tailored to employee needs. When both Baby Boomers on the cusp of retirement and Millennials just entering the workforce can "shop" for benefit packages that suit their needs, employers are able to provide a balanced benefits portfolio to a diverse workforce. By offering a range of benefit choices, companies demonstrate loyalty to their employees, helping them attract and keep high quality employees.
If you find benefits changes overwhelming, you're not alone. Increasing numbers of organizations are turning to outside agencies offering solutions for employee benefits packages, including medical insurance, life insurance, wellness programs, and other types of employee benefits. Poms & Associates offers a range of solutions and works in partnership with employers to provide the benefits necessary to remain competitive in 2014 and beyond.

When It Was Just a Game with a Different Name
Written by acclaimed sports author and
oral historian Harvey Frommer, with an
intro by pro football Hall of Famer
Frank Gifford, When It Was Just a Game
tells the fascinating story of the
ground-breaking AFL–NFL World
Championship Football game played on
January 15, 1967: Packers vs. Chiefs.
Filled with new insights, containing
commentary from the unpublished memoir
of Kansas City Chiefs coach Hank Stram,
featuring oral history from many who
were at the game—media, players,
coaches, fans—the book is mainly in the
words of those who lived it and saw it
go on to become the Super Bowl, the
greatest sports attraction the world has
ever known. Archival photographs and
drawings help bring the event to life.
The big news is that the NFL Los
Angeles has emerged as a contender to once again
host the Super Bowl --- if it happens it would be in
2020 providing a franchise is in LA by the beginning
of the 2018 season and a new stadium built. The City
of Angeles has hosted seven
Super Bowls.
Five have been played at the Rose Bowl and two at
the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, including
Super Bowl
I in 1967.
The scenario is just a bit
reminiscent of details I dealt with in writing my
newest sports epic - -WHEN IT WAS JUST A GAME:
That first (and second game) was
officially known as the AFL-NFL World Championship
Game although from the start fans and media called
it Super Bowl. The ultimate game was the result of
the merger in June 1966 of the upstart AFL and the
establishment NFL. The creation of this game of
games was one of the provisions of the merger.
The Los Angeles Coliseum was
finally selected as the site for the main event.
Ground for the impressive and gigantic Coliseum had
been broken on December 21, 1921. Designed
originally as a memorial to World War I veterans,
built at a cost of $954,873, it opened May 1,
1923 on 18 acres in the architectural style of art
The Coliseum had a long history of
playing host to all manner of events including the
1932 Summer Olympics. In 1967, the USC Trojans first
began playing there and have used the facility ever
since. After the Dodgers left Brooklyn at the end of
the 1957 season, they played at the Coliseum as the
Los Angeles Dodgers from 1958 to 1961.
Now it was going to be the
environment for the football game of all football
games. Maximum effort had been expended decorating
the field of play. At the 50-yard line, a large
brown football capped with a crown of gold was the
central motif. The NFL insignia in blue and the AFL
in red, were on each side of the football. "Packers"
was spelled out in green on a gold background with
the NFL insignia on each side of the west end zone.
The east zone bore the word "Chiefs" in red on a
gold background, the AFL insignia on each side.
(There is much more in my book coming
in September)

A consultant in emergency medicine has said 300 to 350 patients are dying needlessly each year due to waiting times and a lack of beds in hospitals.
Dr Fergal Hickey, who works at Sligo General Hospital, said more beds in hospitals would make it possible to provide the appropriate care needed to patients.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Dr Hickey said last year about 80,000 patients spent a night on a trolley, "which is completely unacceptable."
He said this was "causing the the death of somewhere between 300 and 350 patients a year who wouldn't otherwise die.
"I can foresee a situation in 20 or 30 years' time where we have a tribunal of inquiry that looks back at how it was that this was allowed to happen, that this was allowed to continue without anyone saying stop."
He added: "We need enough beds to be able to transfer those patients who had their emergency care into a hospital bed so we can get on and see the next group of patients."
He said politicians "simply don't get it" and that he could see nothing "concrete" in any political manifesto during the election campaign on how to address the key issues facing the health service.
"For many they see hospital services as a source of employment rather than a source of heath care delivery, which is deeply disappointing."
He said investment in primary care, "while a good thing in its own right is not going to solve the problem of patients on trolleys, except over many years".
Dr Hickey said evidence shows that if alternatives such as primary care are available they are used by other patients for other things and the problem in hospitals would persist.
He emphasised that investment in more beds is the key to improving the health service and reducing waiting times.
When asked about the health service on RTÉ's Today with Sean O'Rourke, Minister for Health Leo Varadkar said he accepted responsibility for not being able to deal with more issues.
"Perhaps if I had more time and had more money I might have done more," he said.

Hi Troy,
I have two Christian Fantasy themed print comic issues available now BUT starting in January they are going to be reprinted through my new publisher (my own imprint) with better art. If you would like to know more just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com :)
Hello all,
I am hoping to find some Christian artists who have published comics I can purchase to sell in my bookstore. While I love the Biblical themed comics, I am focusing more on fantasy themed titles, by Christian artists. Any suggestions?
@Kerry Tarpley
If you're interested in potentially working together, feel free to Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
I also have some scripts of a 5 part mini series I have been working on. It would be awesome to hook up with an artist. I live in Florida TAMPA BAY area but i am open to anyone who is willing to test the creative waters of a Christian comic book.
I would. I have a couple of projects that I have the first issue scripted out and would like to find an illustrator for them. Send me an E-Mail and we'll talk details. God Bless You.
Hi, would any of the writers on this site allow me to draw from one of their scripts for practice?
I want to work on sequential pages for my portfolio but I'm not much of a writer. It would be greatly appreciated and I would, of course, give credit to anyone whose work I used.
Hey guys! The Faithful Creative show, the podcast about the Intersection of Faith and Creativity is finally live!
Spread the word & I would appreciate any feedback!
Would any writers be willing to read a scrip I wrote and tell me if the formatting is good? haha
So I got some good news today. It looks like I'll be writing a comic for the Chinese market! Now to get into some good cultural study and outline the story!

Butterfinger candy bar lovers won't be able to stop eating these Butterfinger Muddy Buddies.
Candy bars always taste amazing, but they are even better in recipes. I have used leftover candy bars to make Twix Bacon Cookies and Butterfinger Rice Krispies. I had a half full bag of Butterfingers laying around so I decided to make Butterfinger Muddy Buddies. Muddy Buddies aka Puppy Chow is a delicious sweet treat. It is basically Chex rice cereal covered in melted chocolate and peanut butter, and then coated in powdered sugar. It's delicious and addicting. Instead of using powdered sugar for coating, Butterfinger Muddy Buddies are coated in crushed Butterfingers. Everyone will love them and Butterfinger lovers won't be able to stop eating them.
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 cups rice cereal squares
- 20 fun sized Butterfingers, crushed
- In a large microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter for 1 minute. Stir mixture until smooth (microwave longer if needed). Stir in the vanilla extract. Add cereal and mix until coated. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Spoon cereal mixture into a large plastic bag. Add crushed Butterfingers and shake the sealed bag until coated.

Apples and Orange's
The so-called grocer's apostrophe, where it is used incorrectly in plurals, is one of the most common mistakes made by native speakers in English. Why is it that something so simple causes so many problem? The apostrophe only has two functions, yet it seems that many people leave school with little or no idea of either of them.
I saw the example in the title in a market in Soho and wondered what on earth possessed the stall holder to put the apostrophe in one fruit, but not in the other. Maybe he thought that imported or citrus fruits require an apostrophe. If he had done it in both, at least his error would have shown consistency.
Not teaching native speakers, I don't see this error as much in my students' work. Why is it that foreign learners seem to handle this better than many NESs?

Perhaps it is this simplicity that is to blame. Perhaps native students feel that as it's so simple they will pick it up without really trying?
And then fail to learn it with any degree of accuracy? In the fruit example, there is a complete absence of any knowledge of any rule or understanding.
Should it be grocer's or grocers'? You generally see the singular, but I've always wondered. I like the idea of the purists getting this wrong.
>>Should it be grocer's or grocers'?<<
I believe either makes sense. Compare Reader's Digest.
I think either's fine, but use the singular to be more optimistic. ;-)
Logically, the plural is right, unless we are referring to a specific greengrocer.
I don't know how punctuation is taught to NES in England now in 2003 as opposed to NNES. Perhaps this is a reason for the grocer in Soho to slap a fancy apostrophe on the oranges but not anything else. A bit of laissez-faire? Did his pen run out of ink?
NNES probably have more motivation to learn points of grammar; you have to be a motivated person to want to learn English! An NES graduate has this on his required curriculum, so the motivation may not be there.
Unfortunately, resident NNESs are exposed to so much error that it can rub off. ;-)
Is punctuation taught? It doesn't seem to be learned very well.
I'm going off on a bit of a tangent here. I'll call it "Punctuation Russian Roulette".
I've often seen (usually in shops, but elsewhere,too, inverted commas stuck proudly but uselessly over merchandise, for example : "Cabbages", half-price! Also, "HOUSE FOR SALE". It makes me laugh because by surrounding them by inverted commas, the salesperson is really saying that they are imitation cabbages or houses. I don't just see this in Quebec, either, it seems to be, as I said, "Punctuation Russian Roulette".
Why? Because some people might think that if at least any old punctuation mark is slapped on, it might be the right one, and if it isn't, it still looks rather flash, doesn't it? It's declaring to the onlooker: "Look! I put up some punctuation. See? At least I know it exists." :-)))
Why is it called the grocer's apostrophe?
This intrigues me.
It seems to me, also, that many people put their apostrophes where they should, with the noticeable exception of "Its" "It's", and "who's".
Even "ain't" usually gets its apostrophe where it should fall.
Is it because we use "its" (possessive) and "it's" much more frequently than in other contractions and therefore familiarity breeds a certain contempt or nonchalance?
In AE I rearely hear "greengrocer's". It is logical, in fact, since not everything at the grocer's is green. :-)
It comes from signs in grocers' shops markets with apostrophes in plurals, I believe. "Apple's" is a commonly used example and the term caught on. ;-)
Here in the UK, I think we're still a little behind and haven't adopted the use of inverted commas to make something look better. we do overuse capital letter in the same way, though.
Just a quick comment regarding the first post here - most common NOT commonest.
I have to disagree with you. It is perfectly OK to say either 'commonest' or 'most common'. It's a two-syllable adjective that is used both ways. There is no rule whatsoever to say that the -est form cannot be used in the superlative.
If you wish to check with the Oxford English Dictiopnary, you will find that they use it happily enough and they are the number authority on such issues::
It's also found in Webster's and the American Heritage. ;-)
Fair enough - it's one of those things that grates on me! I suppose it comes from having similar mistakes of my own corrected for so long that I over-apply the rule. Thanks for the sources - time for a bit of swotting!
We all have things that grate on our ears- I can't stand the pronunciation 'proh-ject'. Next time I use it, I'll remember your preference and use the more\most form. ;-)
If you look back,you'll find that I have deferred to you and edited the offending form. ;-)
That's very kind of you, thank you.
Back to bad apostrophe usage... on my way to work this morning I saw signs advertising 'Xmas tree's'... a van offering 'bespoke book case's dining furniture' and our office canteen claims 'there are no pizza's today' and 'a selection of potato's'. And I received a memo from the payroll department addressed to 'All employee's'. They will all go down in memory alongside my local drycleaners offer of '3 suites cleaned for 10 quid'.
And of course I meant my local drycleaners' offer...
3 Suites- that's a small hotel. ;-)
Willbut, I believe that if you want to tell somebody that you are going to that place where they sell food and other stuff you should use either grocer or grocer's, but not grocers'. The plural of grocer is grocers without an apostrophe. So if going to an specific store you should say: " I am off to the grocer" or " I am off to the grocer's". When using grocer's you are simply ommiting the word "shop".
I am not a NES but I have been studying it for a really long time and I am a teacher in Brazil. Am very interested in grammar and am happy to be part of this group here. :)
Excuse me for leaving out the " I " at the beginning of my last sentence above!
He was referring to the term 'grocer's apostophe', which is used for cases where the apostrophe is used incorrectly in plurals. ;-)
Shouldn't the sentence, "Why is it that something so simple causes so many problems..." have a question mark somewhere?
Thanks! ;-)
Obviously he didn't know whether to use an apostrophe, so he did one
with, and one without. That way, he's made exactly one typo on the sign.
If he had guessed, he might have ended up with 2 typos. Cut your
hello I'm kimberly and I still don't know how to use a apostraphy pluraly i know every thing elese exept that little detial could you send the answer to my email adress.
There was a time when I knew how, where and when to use an apostrophe, but thanks to all the fuss over the grocers apostophe, I've lost the plot.
Punctuation are not taught in the proper manner.
People are confused about the use of proper punctuation.
Eg:It's and Its - is there a difference between the two?
Eg:Words ending in "S"
Many are nto only confused on whether or not to add the punctuation, but also confused on how to pronounce the word

Sometimes you can find peace of mind by transferring yourself to different situations. They're just reminders to stay… calm – Yves Behar
We're constantly asking you to exude calm energy here at Darwin Dogs. That's the first step in Piloting: control yourself. Creating a calm and low key environment is key for your dog to succeed and lead a balanced life. But why is it important? Why are we asking you to stay calm?
Well, let's give you a few examples. You know that family member you have that on your Easter get together in April is already talking about what the plans are for Thanksgiving? Or how about that friend that asks a million questions rapid fire, but as you're answering the first one they're already telling you about their next big vacation they're planning? What about that person at work that can't handle their workload no matter how small it is? They run around like everything is on fire and they have the entire weight of the world on their shoulders and can't hold it up much longer.
How do you feel when you're around those people? My guess is not great. Your blood pressure may rise some and you may find yourself getting frustrated. Honestly, you're probably not able to think as rationally and clearly as you normally are. Your mind is working overtime on how to deal with the energy that the other person is putting out there. You'll find your body is tense as well. All in all, you want to remove yourself from the situation because you don't like how you feel around these people. You want calm and relaxation.
Think about this when you find yourself frustrated, anxious or upset when you're working with your dog. Creating an atmosphere with lots of energy and stress will cause your dog to have all the same reactions you would in that situation. They'll all of a sudden have more anxiety, frustration and tense body language. This creates a situation where your dog is not in a state to learn, trust or understand easily. There's confusion which leads to more frustration for both you and your dog.
This is why we keep insisting on calm. Think about how you feel after spending some quiet time by the lake, or a walk through the Metroparks, or as you're taking a moment to look up at the stars. That calm. That's what you want to portray. In those moments, you feel like you can take on the world. In those moments, you can figure out a solution to problems you've been facing throughout the week. Everything seems like it's okay. That's the environment you want to create for you and your dog. That's when your Piloting will be at its best and the bonding that will occur between you and your dog will be more than you could ever imagine.
Calm. You can do it. Think about the last time you were truly relaxed before you work with your dog and bring that energy to the table. You'll be surprised at the results.

Pensive Lent to you all.
One: Today we begin the journey into darkness.
All: Today we look with our Savior towards the end.
One: We recognize that we are broken and helpless.
All: Yet we have a Savior who carries the load for us and all.
One: In our sinfulness we are not unloved or abandoned.
All: Today we worship the Lord our God and serve the Lord only.
O Holy One, we are not comfortable with this descent into these difficult stories. We do not find joy in this march to the inevitable where we watch our Savior struggle and become more and more alone. But we are here, listening to the stories again. We are here walking with our Savior now, hoping that we still might be able to alleviate his pain. Help us be in this time. Help us delve deeply into the stories. Help us walk with our Savior and not abandon him on this difficult path. Amen.
The Psalmist says, "While I kept silence, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not hide my iniquity; I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,' and you forgave the guilt of my sin." Let us join together again as people of God and confess.
Gracious God, we know that we are not alone in our sinfulness before you. But we still continue creating death and destruction in this sinfulness. We break relationships. We break the minds and hearts and bodies of others whom we know and have never met. We sin in our action and our inaction. We especially fall short of Christ, and give into the temptation of putting false idols of power and greed before our Lord. Forgive us, please. Help us live full lives in you, understanding that only in you can we be dead to sin and alive in Christ. Amen.
The Psalmist continues: "Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." Dear ones, we are not people who end the story in sinfulness. Again and again we come to repent, turn around, and discover what new life Christ has for us. Because Christ our Savior suffered and died for our sins, I can declare to you that in his name you are forgiven. Now go out and live. Amen.
Even as times are dark and broken, we are still able to give. We are still called upon to participate in this life with Christ. Let us with joy, and relief at still being able to participate, collect our joys and our offerings.
O Holy God, you never stop wanting us to help make your creation a more vibrant and loving place. May all that we have brought forward today, and all that we are in our lives, go to strengthen your name and to love our neighbors and strangers alike. Amen.
This is the table that was the end. This supper was the last one. Here we gather for a joyful feast that originally contained deceit, abandonment and, ultimately, death. This is an odd table filled with so much. Yet as we begin this lenten journey knowing the end, let us concentrate more on the precious opportunity of being here at all. We are not alone in this group here today, but at this table we are joined by friends and loved ones across all time and space. We come here to reverse that original deceit, abandonment and death. Come to this table to live with our Christ. Come to this table to be nourished and receive the strength to go on. Come to this table making the legacy of that first table worth it. Come.

A couple of months ago, I received an email from SustainablePlant where this picture was attached. The message was simple: Join Sustainable Plant in all things silly and submit a caption in the comments section for this month's Substainably Silly cartoon contest.
Although I didn't submit a caption, this picture sure got me thinking of the silly things we do within our manufacturing plants while labeling these efforts as something complete opposite. I really enjoyed these two posted comments as captions:
• "What, you mean to tell me after all these years all we had to do was paint it "green"?"
• "When I said we needed to greenwash our business, this isn't exactly what I had in mind."
Obviously, stakeholders, corporate leaders, and plant management do not want to see us "acting" but rather successfully executing. With that being said, I believe there are five key factors that affect a plants performance. While I believe these five key factors are the same for nearly all efforts we engage in, I have written this with the focus towards the energy management efforts.
Five key factors, what are they? Focus, planning, resources, processes and people greatly affect the performance of energy management. These factors are applicable not only to the energy management team members but also, in a narrower domain, to the front line managers in the plant. A frontline manager should be looked at as a 'mini energy manager' who deals with the same strategic and operational issues that the energy team attempts to improve.
Let's take a quick look at each of these five important factors.
Focus. The energy management manager team needs to ensure that the overall manufacturing operation has a clear sense of direction and strategic focus. Frontline managers also need to ensure correct interpretation of the goals by the workforce. Once the workforce in the plant is clear about goals and focus, the energy manager and the frontline managers need to delegate responsibility and decision-making authority to the required people, making them accountable for results.
Planning. It is the energy manager's responsibility to chalk out a strategy to achieve goals with maximum input from the people who will implement the plan. Effective strategic and operational planning on the management team is a must for optimal performance of the manufacturing operation. For frontline managers, the strategic plan should aid operational improvements and the operational plan should focus on activities like maximum efficiency while maintaining/improving production schedules, maintenance activities, training and the like.
Resources. The energy manager should be able to garner enough financial support for his/her operation, deploy appropriate technologies and take steps to put together an effective team. It is then extremely important that the energy management team work directly with frontline management to ensure that financial resources and technologies are properly used for operations and maintenance. Don't forget to work with Human Resource to formulate and implement policies for an effective workforce. Resource management should not be overlooked when targeting optimal performance of a manufacturing operation.
Processes. Without appropriate processes, focus, planning, and resources are of no use. I can't stress how vital it is for the energy management team to have an efficient operating system in place, which closely monitors the operations and triggers a corrective action if the performance of the operation falls below expected efficiency and/or production levels. The energy management team has to ensure that the operating systems serve their design purpose, promote teamwork and monitor workgroup performance, as well as initiate corrective action when performance is below desired levels.
People. An effective and motivated workforce can be a blessing to any energy management effort. The energy management team should share a good working relationship with the frontline management group. To have the desired working relationship sharing information, listening and coaching are important skills the energy management team needs to possess. They should be able to initiate change in the operations as well as prevent political infighting. The same applies for the entire management team. They also should share a good working relationship with their workgroup and be able to implement the change initiated by the energy management team.
Besides the energy management team and front line management, their superiors should also understand the implications of the five factors discussed above. Though, for a plant's energy manager to succeed a lot depends on the personal skills of the manager, the support of the top management goes a long way to help the energy manager achieve organizational goals.

Carbon Fabrics
|Extremely high stiffness
|With a variety of modulus available from standard 33 msi to ultra high modulus pitch over 125 msi carbon fiber has the highest specific modulus of all the commercial reinforcing fibers.
|High tensile strength
|The strongest of all commercial reinforcing fibers in tension. Especially good for the tension skin on cored composite laminates
|Excellent corrosion resistance
|Used in reinforcing concrete, carbon has good alkaline resistance as well as resistance to salt water and many other chemical environments.
|Excellent fatigue properties
|Used as a primary reinforcement for fatigue prone products such as helicopter and wind turbine blades as well as off shore power and sailboats.
|Excellent compression properties
|Proper fiber sizing for the resin matrix selected can yield impressive compressive properties but this quality can be quite difficult to measure with standard ASTM test methods and careful test specimen preparation is critical to achieve accurate results.
|Low coefficient of linear expansion -1.1 x 106 cm/cm°C (.0.6 x 10 6 in/in°F)
|: Carbon is a good tooling reinforcement for molds that will see temperature and where parts need tight dimensional stability.
Caution with Carbon Fiber
Carbon is electrically conductive so isolation (usually with glass cloth) is critical when mounting electrical components. Metallic parts may corrode in salt water environments if improperly isolated.
Carbon fiber dust (while grinding etc.) may short out electrical tools.
Carbon fiber is not as good on sharp impacts as Glass (especially S-Glass) or Aramid fibers but properly engineered laminates (especially cored laminates) can utilize carbon very well for "global impact" loads such as slamming in power and offshore sailboats.

In 2010, The
Why I took part in 5by20
I heard about the 5by20 initiative in Dundee when I was meeting with a friend looking at an office space. The course leader, Agate, was there to have a meeting afterwards and we were introduced. We quickly got chatting about the course,
Coca-Cola's goal to help enable the economic empowerment 5 million women entrepreneurs across its business by 2020 is absolutely fantastic. To have more women empowered to start up their own business is a great thing. I've been to a couple of networking events where the men outnumber the women by at least 5 to 1, and I think that women have a lot to offer and we're often overlooked.
So to play a part in such a great initiative is a great joy.
What you get from it
This course is about helping you get set up in business, and get all your ducks in a row - with a particular focus on the food and drink industry. If you need to go and get funding, get your business plan organised and get all the tools you need, it's a great place to get started. It was simple and very clear.
And it was really good fun! Agate was a fun, lovely and friendly course leader and I'll be keeping in touch with a couple of the girls I met on the course. The guest speakers and experts provided invaluable knowledge and really helped fill the gaps I had. I'm particularly grateful to the employment law solicitor who highlighted some important things I need to get sorted soon!
Finally, it's very exciting to be part of a truly global programme, especially from a well-known brand like
"It's really exciting to be part of something from Coca-Cola that's helping to empower women around the world."
How I became an entrepreneur
Everywhere I look in my family, there's inspiration to be an entrepreneur. My uncle became self-employed at the age of 17. He's in his 70s now and in that time he created a company worth millions. My parents owned their own business for about 30 years and my husband has his own business as well. So, while many are inspired by big names and bigger businesses, my inspiration comes from much closer to home.
Add to that the fact that I like being in charge and don't like being told what to do and it's no surprise that I started my own business! It's been exciting, and I've felt just the right amount of nervous. But I've not been scared – I'm too busy working to make it a success to be scared.
I'm fortunate enough to have a family-full of entrepreneurs ready to give advice when I need it. However, the 5by20 course helped me a great deal in ironing out some of the finer details. My business is very different to the businesses my family run, so having the opportunity to fill in the blanks that they couldn't fill was very helpful.
The challenges I'll face
Professionally, as with many new businesses, the challenge is getting your name and brand out there in the right way. It's about making sure people know who I am and know what I have to offer. That's the major challenge I'll be facing in the early stages of running my business. Only when I solve that challenge can I be a success and start making money.

"If you're thinking of joining Coca-Cola's 5by20 programme, go for it! You have nothing to lose and an awful lot to gain."
Personally, maintaining a healthy work-life balance is going to be a challenge. Making sure that you're there for your children when they need you is difficult to manage, especially when you're starting a new business.
I've recently had one of my boys off school ill, and it really was a challenge. But for me family always comes first so I will always do what I can to be home when they need me.
The most important thing to me is that my children are happy, confident and can do what they love in the future. There is nothing worse than being stuck in a job that's sucking your soul. I want to encourage them that you only live once, and they need to do what makes them happy.
The challenges I've overcome
I've had a very long, very difficult struggle with depression, anxiety and stress. Recently, I overcame this thanks to a programme that helped me work through these issues. The programme lets you gain a sense of power and control over experiences and how powerful you feel in life. It works on controlling social anxiety, how judged you feel by others and your own self-esteem. I worked on those three key elements and changed the way I viewed the world.
Overcoming these problems played a part in helping me set up my own business. Having the self-confidence and strength to go for it is half of the battle.

February 6, 1998, Section E, Page 14Buy Reprints
After 18 years, the Blues Brothers are back. Their band is belting, and the audiences that have happily traveled this wreck-littered highway before can't be faulted for believing that ''Blues Brothers 2000'' has been worth the wait.
Oh, time has wrought change. Jake Blues (John Belushi) is gone; so is Curtis (Cab Calloway) of the popular ''Blues Brothers'' of 1980, but once the new sequel gets past its cumbersome plotting and gets down to its music, it overrides the temptation to suggest buying the soundtrack recording and forgetting the rest.
Without the film, directed by the original's John Landis, one would miss the big, colorful, high-energy, helium-humored production numbers featuring performers like Aretha Franklin, B. B. King, James Brown, Sam Moore, Erykah Badu and a host of other big-name singers, instrumentalists and various other stars in cameo roles.
The disposable plot, written by Mr. Landis and Dan Aykroyd, reprising his role as the deadpan Elwood Blues, releases Elwood from the prison where he has spent the years since the band's last bout of mayhem. From the warden he learns that Jake is dead, and from the nun of his childhood years he is forced to accept the company of little Buster (J. Evan Bonifant), a boy supposedly in need of a mentor. Determined to buy a used police car and revive the Blues Brothers Band, Elwood seeks out Curtis's son, Cabel (Joe Morton), who just happens to be an Illinois state police commander.
By the time their interview is over, Cabel has learned for the first time that he is Curtis's illegitimate son, has angrily rejected the idea that he give up his position and join the band and has lost his wallet, containing the $500 Elwood needs for the car. While making the rounds and tempting his old buddies away from their new jobs, Elwood also manages to incur the enmity of the Russian mafia.
So, by the time Elwood has gathered up the band, including Mighty Mack (John Goodman), and hit the road for a battle of the bands in bayou country, both the mob and the police, seeking him for theft and the suspected kidnapping of Buster, are out for Elwood's blood. And in the chase that ensues, Elwood also runs afoul of a white supremacist militia group.
All the wailing sirens, flashing lights, flying bullets, airborne police cars and exploding boats can't keep this from being the dull part of ''Blues Brothers 2000.''
The movie only really comes alive when the music plays and people sing and dance. There's an exhilarating gospel number at a roadside revival tent, where Cabel finally gets the spirit, realizes that music is his true calling and becomes one of the Blues Brothers. There is some other delightful music along the way, but toward the end of ''Blues Brothers 2000,'' these numbers finally manage to pile up faster than the pursuing patrol cars. In a grand sequence at the end, at the old bayou mansion, Ms. Badu, as a very vibrant looking 130-year-old voodoo queen, auditions the band, transforms the brothers into zombies for dissing her and then releases them in time for the final musical showdown.
That's entertainment.
''Blues Brothers 2000'' is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It includes some standard-issue street language, arson, gunplay, car wrecks and an armload of crimes, including shakedowns.
Directed by John Landis; written by Dan Aykroyd and Mr. Landis, based on their screenplay ''The Blues Brothers''; director of photography, David Herrington; edited by Dale Beldin; music by Paul Shaffer; production designer, Bill Brodie; produced by Mr. Landis, Mr. Aykroyd and Leslie Belzberg; released by Universal Pictures. Running time: 105 minutes. This film is rated PG-13.
WITH: Dan Aykroyd (Elwood Blues), J. Evan Bonifant (Buster), John Goodman (Mighty Mack McTeer) and Joe Morton (Cabel) and cameos by B. B. King, James Brown, Sam Moore, Junior Wells, Lonnie Brooks, Willie Hall, Matt Murphy, Aretha Franklin, Donald Dunn, Steve Cropper, Tom Malone, Jonny Lang, Wilson Pickett, Steve Lawrence and Erykah Badu.

CLAHRC: a collaboration for leadership in applied health research and care
CLAHRC South London is a body of researchers, doctors and NHS managers working to improve healthcare south of the River Thames. Two studies are currently looking at pregnancy care: "Birth and Beyond" and "POPPiE".
CLAHRC South London, or the Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care, is a partnership of researchers, doctors, and NHS managers working south of the River Thames. It aims to help the NHS give the highest standard of care to everyone, wherever they live and whatever their background. South London is more diverse than a lot of the country, but it is also poorer and has higher levels of ill health.
One of CLAHRC's current themes is "maternity, birth and beyond." Pregnancy is a great time to promote a healthy lifestyle so that babies are protected from health risks, beginning in the womb. Within this theme, there are two studies running: "Birth and Beyond" and "POPPiE."
Birth and Beyond
This study aims to lower the risks for mothers and babies from complicated medical conditions and pregnancy complications. It will do this by reviewing practices that are used now, to see what can be done better in the future. So far, the project has been looking at services for women with high-risk pregnancies in South London. It is also reviewing the best way to support mothers who developed pre-eclampsia during pregnancy. Initially, this study is being run in two South London maternity units. If successful, we aim to apply for funding for a larger study in the future.
POPPiE is a pilot study of a new way of caring for women at risk of premature birth. At the moment, it is difficult to say which babies are at risk of being born too early. When they are, 40% of the time, the cause cannot be found. Research into the how we care for women throughout pregnancy, and how this can affect a baby's chances, is vital.
Women who have ongoing care from a midwife throughout pregnancy and birth are 24% less likely to give birth too early. However, often women end up with fragmented care. This is even more likely if they suffer from a premature birth.
We think that preterm surveillance clinics, like the Tommy's clinic at St Thomas', are the best way of preventing hospital admissions, while keeping track of women at risk of giving birth too early. That is why CLAHRC South London is working with Lewisham CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group) to create and test a new way of caring for women at risk. This includes a preterm surveillance clinic, and makes sure that women are cared for consistently from the start of pregnancy until after birth. We will look at whether this can help prevent premature births, while also asking women and families about their experiences of care.

Tommy's funds research across the UK investigating the reasons for pregnancy complications and loss. We can keep you updated on our research news. If you're interested in being kept updated about our research and news from Tommy's, click here.
The POPPiE trial: social and psychological factors in premature birth
There is growing evidence that social and psychological factors can make an expecting mother more likely to give birth early. However, there hasn't been much research on how this works, or on how we can care for women that are affected to try and prevent premature birth.
Working with other international experts, we are carrying out a review of these social and psychological factors. This will help us to work out the best way to care for women, and will also be used to help design the POPPiE trial. This research is ongoing, and should be finished in March 2017.Hide details
This study is taking place in a Tommy's centre and is funded by Tommy's and the National Institute for Health Research's CLAHRC SchemeHide details

Riecoin is a decentralized (P2P), open source digital currency. It allows to transfer money to anywhere in the world with only minimum transaction fees. It is a fork of the Bitcoin project. The name "Riecoin" pays homage to Bernhard Riemann, whose work generated new ways of studying the distribution of prime numbers and is referenced in the math of Riecoin. It also pays homage to Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency that started them all.
Why choose Riecoin and mine RIC
The process of money creation in Bitcoin and any other Proof of Work based altcoin involves mining: every computer in the Bitcoin network that contribute to make the network secure by checking and confirming transactions must constantly solve a given problem. Once a while, someone will finally find a solution, and submit it to the network; if it is valid, it is added in the blockchain. This is a heavy task, that consumes a lot of energy. The computing power of miners supporting the Bitcoin network is much higher than any Supercomputer.
Then, what is the issue? We need to consume that energy anyway to make the network secure, and the more miners are working, the more robust is the network. But now imagine, if we could use these resources for science!
The problem that Bitcoin miners are solving to produce blocks is basically generating hashes until one meets some criterion. Pretty useless, no? Most altcoins are also using similar hashing problems to solve.
Riecoin is different and proposes a network that is not only as secure as Bitcoin, but whose mining produce useful scientific solutions and not useless hashes. Miners are looking for prime constellations instead. These prime numbers are of interest to mathematicians and the scientific community, and many people are even competing each other to beat world records of who found the constellations with the largest prime numbers!
This way, Riecoin provides both an innovative decentralized payment network, and a lot of computing power for science!
And that is not all, mining is done using a CPU! No ASIC monopoly, and finally something different than all those GPU coins. Everyone can join and mine to support the network and earn coins in return!
See also this Riecoin presentation video made by Bill Sotnikow.
Team and contributors
Riecoin was founded by gatra, but he did not give any news since months nor helped for the essential 0.16.3 upgrade, thus is no longer considered to be a part of the team. The current team is composed of:
- Pttn: large contributions to the miner, wallet contributor, riecoin.dev webmaster;
- clo1: main wallet contributor, in particular for the 0.10.2 to 0.16.3 transition;
- cryptapus: wallet contributor, created some Riecoin related software (in particular a faucet and a webwallet).
Reach us in any social network: BitcoinTalk, Reddit, and Discord (invite)!
We also thank: ziiip and XpoolX (pools operators), and guytp (Zapple founder). And naturally every supporting miners and users of Riecoin!
Also check Gapcoin, another cryptocurrency with useful proof of work, similar to Riecoin (searching for big gaps between prime numbers, also has broken world records). We don't want to be rivals, but rather to mutually help ourselves in order to promote and improve our coins. Thank you BitcoinFX for your support!
Note that we are all volunteers that contribute to Riecoin in our free time, and might not be consistently active. That is why we are always looking for new developers! If you like the project and are able to contribute to the wallet, the miner, or any Riecoin related software (create a Android/thin wallet, Riecoin plugins, etc.), you are more than welcome! Reach the team in the social networks, or make direct contributions in GitHub.

One of the big things you need to think about when starting any sort of business or side hustle Start an Online Side Hustle From Your Armchair With These 5 Courses Start an Online Side Hustle From Your Armchair With These 5 Courses A side hustle can make you some extra income every month. But it is also about using your passion to improve your life. These five Udemy courses will help you start a side job. Read More is a logo. If you don't have graphic design skills and can't afford to hire a graphic designer, you could use a free online tool to create your logo.
There are some serious caveats to consider when choosing this approach. Most significant is that you run the risk of creating a logo very similar to one created by someone else who used the same tool. This could dilute the identity and branding of your logo.
On the other hand, if you simply can't afford to put any money towards this part of your business and want to get things off the ground, here are three options.
The Easy Option
The Shopify Logo Maker is very easy to use and consists of only two elements: your business name and an icon. The icons, unfortunately are not searchable, but you can scroll through them to find the one you want to use.
You can change the color of the text and icon, and can add a frame around the icon. You can also adjust the size of the icon and text, as well as the placement of the icon in relation to your text.
You will have to enter your email to receive the PNG file to download. The PNG file means your image will have a transparent background so you can use it in any design without having to worry about a white background. You do not have to create a Shopify account or store to use the service.
The "More Options" Option
If you want a little bit more control over your logo, SquareSpace's logo maker could be what you're looking for. You can enter your business name, tagline, and search for icons (which are powered by The Noun Project). Click on individual elements to move them, change their color, and size.
Once you're done with your logo, you can download a low-res PNG at 400 x 400 pixels. If you want a high-res 5000 x 5000 pixel version, you need to either be a Squarespace member or pay $10.
The "Full Control" Option
If you want control over just about every element — size, placement, font, colors, and more — your best bet is Canva's logo maker. You will have to create a free Canva account to use this service, but in addition to creating your logo, you can also use the service's templates to create social media graphics Create Attractive Graphics Without A Design Background On Canva Create Attractive Graphics Without A Design Background On Canva Read More , flyers, and much more to promote your business.
Canva's logo maker includes pre-designed layouts that you can customize. You can edit the text, change colors, and replace any icons or images with the elements of your choice. When it comes to the text you can adjust the font as well as letter spacing, a handy way to make text fill up a desired amount of space.
Once you're done, you can download your logo as a PNG, JPG, or PDF. There are some restrictions when using Canva's services for free. Pro users have access to more images and can download PNGs with transparent backgrounds, which is key for a logo.
If you don't want to pay $12.95 per month, you can download the image as a PNG with a white background and use LunaPic's Transparent editor to automatically remove the white background.
Which of these three services would you use to create a logo? Or do you think that paying a designer to do the logo is an essential part of starting a business? Let us know in the comments.

I Can't Even Cook Virtually: Food Network's Cook Or Be Cooked Video Game
A video game that teaches you how to cook? I was skeptical, but I'd long ago dropped off the gaming dabbler grid. Besides, there really is no topic untackled by the gaming industry anymore. The grey area between social (e.g. Facebook quizzes) and core gaming (e.g. WoW) is growing wider and wider and Wii is just the console to facilitate that.
Also at Hipcooks West for our special night was Caroline on Crack, Neil of Food Marathon, TaraMetBlog, FoodGPS, and Lindsay of LAist. It was a fun night of canoodling and game play.
Iron Chef and James Beard Award-winning Michael Symon was there to try his hand at cooking alongside the game, called Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked! by Bandai Namco. I was hoping for a really complex dish so Symon's virtuosity could at least be partially displayed - to make things interesting - but he ended up making broccoli and chicken, one of the medium difficulty recipes in the game. The lead developer, Michael Morishita, was there to play the very game he programmed. What was interesting about this arrangement is that you could see for the most part that the game takes into account real cooking disciplines such as multi-tasking. All right - also, simulated dicing, stirring and flipping - and even heating up the pan before you cook in it. Michael's bubbly-yet-down-to-earth personality made the demo really fun to watch as well.
There was nothing "strictly social" about this game, however. It took me forever to make an easy recipe - that dish being spaghetti and meatballs - and once I had finally finished, the judges took a bite and started turning over chairs and heaving over the table. Virtually. And I was literally bad at this game. Meh. My excuse? I was busy stuffing h'ors doeurves (recipes from Chef Symon himself) in my face while playing the game. It's called priorities!
If I had a Wii, I might use this as a launching point since heck, I need all the help I can get - including the basics. It's almost like your own personal cooking teacher. The main drawback: You don't get to eat what you cook! Or in my case that might be a perk.
Time to practice.

Katie Ann's English friend Martha loves her and baby Jonas. Martha is pretty quirky in her ways but Katie Ann loves her. Martha has a health problem and then gets an unexpected house guest.
Eli Detweiler shows up for a family wedding. A widower, having raised his many kids on his own, he now wants to travel and do his own thing.
Katie Ann and Eli start off on the wrong foot. Eli sure has a way with little Jonas though. He teaches her a thing or two about tending to the little guy.
Will Eli and Katie Ann develop an interest in one another? No, why would Eli want to start all over now that he is free to do what he wants and when he wants? How could Eli even think of leaving behind his kids and their families?
I encourage you to read this book to find out the above answers!
Happy reading to you! : )
