By attorney Anthony Castelli – Recently I noticed that a lawyer was using my name as a keyword in his Google adwords campaign. In other words when someone would search on my name his ad would show on the same page. A recent Court decision found an arguably analogous situation as this to be a trademark violation, among other things, in my opinion under somewhat similar circumstances and a huge damage award was made.
Here is a screen shot of my search in Google for Anthony Castelli. I apologize for its blurriness
Here is what Google says when you click on the icon about why they showed his add:
Apparently this is a tactic used by Seo folks that think since google permits it then it's "white hat." But just because Google permits it does not mean its right. When I sent an inquiry about this through my social channels no one reponded until now.
A contact through Linkedin sent me a link that cited the case. The federal district in California in the case of Binder et al v Disability Group Inc et al rendered the decision in a trial to the Court. This decision is of limited authority and is not controlling though it can be termed persuasive. For more detailed study of keyword law click here and see citations below.
The Facts
In Binder the defendant Disability group used Binder's trademark for about 6 months in an advertising campaign through Google Adwords. Defendants used "Binder and Binder" as adwords linked to their web site. Google adwords allows advertisers to pay to place targeted "sponsored Links" on the results page of a Google search. In order to have their ads appear on the search results page of a google search, google advertisers select and bid on adwords 9purchased keywords) so that their ad might be displayed on the search results.
Claim For Infringement of Registered Trademark
Binder claimed that the defendant : 1. used a mark 2. without the registrant's consent 3. in commerce, 4. in connection with advertising for services, 5 . where such is likely to cause confusion, or to cause a mistake or to deceive. In evaluating the likelihood of confusion these items were considered.
- the similarity of the mark
- the strenght of the mark
- the proximity or relatedness of services
- the defendant's intnent in selecting the mark
- evidence of actual confusion
- the marketing channels used
- the likelihood of expansion into other markets
- the degree of care likely to be exercised by purchasers of the service
In the context of the internet the Court noted the most important factors are :similarity of marks, relatedness of services, and simultaneous use of the marketing channel. The court found that there was a strong likelihood of confusion.
False Advertising Claim and State Law Unfair Competition
The Court also found Binder prevailed under its false advertising claim and its claim under California law for unfair competition
The defendants got 188 submission forms by individuals who searched for Binder and Binder. Binder retained 18.78% of the cases submitted. The average fee per social security disability cases was $3576.93. Ultimately for lost profits the court awarded $146,117.60.
The Court found that the conduct was willfull and doubled the damages under the Lanham act . The court also awarded attorneys fees. It is important to note that under the Lanham act the trademark must be registered and the defendant must be on notice of the registration.
However the other two causes of action did not rely on the fact of regsistration of the trademark. By the way do not expect any help from google on this . ( See Eric Goldmann's article below)

On behalf of the Lehigh Valley Knights, we would like to extend our utmost thanks to DCI and the drum corps community for coming to our urgent needs in order for us to be able to compete this evening (June 26). After a long but promising day of practice, the Lehigh Valley Knights (LVK) were prepared to proceed to their first competition of the season at Western Branch High School in Chesapeake, Va. The LVK corps members were waiting for members of their parent group, the Chieftans drum and bugle corps from Allentown, Pa. Both corps would be participating in a parade in Nashville, Tenn., on Friday. To expedite travel plans, the equipment trailer, fully loaded, was sent ahead. The corps members were getting ready to leave when the staff received word that our trailer, being towed by our Suburban, was involved in a major accident. Neither driver was injured, for which we were extremely thankful. It took the effort of local police and fire companies three hours to reopen Interstate 78 before staff members were permitted to evaluate the condition of the vehicle. While staff members were patiently waiting, others began to put the further plans into effect. After numerous phone calls, staff chose to send the corps on to their scheduled competition. The staff would then meet the buses with any salvageable equipment. Unfortunately, the majority of LVK equipment was a total loss, with the exception of some horn and guard equipment. Our trailer and tow vehicles are also gone completely. As many corps enthusiasts know, the Knights are a junior corps nurtured bu their mentors, the Chieftans. The Chieftans, through their commitment to drum corps values, understand what it means to come back and rebound from adversity. There is a strong resolution on behalf of the Lehigh Valley Knights to leave no doubt – we are here to stay! To learn more about how to donate to LVK, visit the corps Web site..

Hire A Minivan
ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Minivans are the automotive equivalent of the comic Rodney Dangerfield's routine about not getting any respect. Hauling groceries and the youngsters to soccer will come by the use of Tesla's dual motor all-wheel drive electrical drivetrain borrowed from the Mannequin X. With Tesla's recent announcement that it has produced an extended-range one hundred kWh battery for the world's fastest accelerating production car , expect its minivan to be quick and have a minimum of 315 miles of range per single cost.
Nonetheless, one section that wasn't discussed in its master plan was the supply of a minivan.

Mom-jeans are trendy once more , Pokémon is ubiquitous, and the minivan is having a significant moment.
The engine now sounds just like the engine discovered in the Primo in GTA V. Although the engine and the car's AWD drivetrain work laborious to propel the Minivan off the line, its sluggish 4-pace transmission mixed with immense weight severely limits overall performance, not making the Minivan a really perfect getaway automobile, particularly underneath hot pursuit.
Between 2006 and 2012, Mercedes-Benz constructed the R-Class, which was a six-passenger minivan in all however title, and which featured a pair of traditional rear doors relatively than the sliding design that has come to outline the section. I finally ended up purchasing a Plymouth Voyager which after all is similar to the Dodge minivan. Should you love variety – well, you are going to discover the minivan segment a wrestle. Vehicles related in appearance to prolonged versions of the Minivan seem in Rockstar San Diego 's Midnight Club: Los Angeles.
The Kia Sedona is the least gasoline-environment friendly minivan with scores of 18 mpg metropolis, 24 mpg highway, and 20 mpg mixed, and it gives a spread of just 422 miles. Forget the clipboard – The MiniVAN app for iOS and Android has all the things it is advisable to canvass, from maps to stroll lists and extra. We judged the former by placing butts in seats and measured the latter by evaluating not solely how a lot people and cargo every minivan could maintain but additionally how simply all the pieces went in. It was 9 days after she drove her minivan into the Hudson River, killing three of her kids.…

Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand
that this too was a gift.*
*Mary Oliver
Sometimes after a significant loss – such as a spouse, child, father, or mother – you find yourself so busy taking care of others, "being strong," and/or just surviving day-to-day, that you really don't allow yourself to deeply grieve or mourn. That doesn't mean that you don't occasionally have times of deep pain and sadness, but you then say to yourself, "OK, get on with your life. That's what he or she would want you to do." Then time goes by – it may be six months or eighteen – and all of a sudden it hits you like a brick. This has been aptly labeled by some as "delayed grief."
When grief sneak up on you several months after your loss, it may be difficult to share it with others because it seems they won't understand. They thought you were OK, and "beyond" it all, so how can you bring up your grief now?
There are some things you can do. They are not too different from what's needed immediately after a loss. You just need to give yourself permission to enter the process.
- Seek out a grief counselor or support group. Guidance from a professional, or a group of fellow mourners who understand, can be just what you need to get through a rough patch. Sometimes anger, guilt and regret surface because they, along with other feelings, were delayed. Know that these feelings are natural, even at a late stage.
- Find readings or tapes on the grief journey. The Hello Grief website is a good example of such a resource.
- Refrain from making hasty decisions or entering quickly into a committed relationship out of loneliness. Give yourself time to move through this delayed period of mourning. When you have sorted out the challenge of delayed grief, there will be time for these things.
- Maintain your strength by eating well and exercising. Exercise helps clear the mind in addition to being good for you.
Here are some other words by Mary Oliver that speak to me and may speak to you, also.
That time
I thought I could not
go any closer to grief
without dying.
I went closer,
and I did not die.
Surely God
Had His hand in this,
As well as friends.
Still I was bent…
Then said my friend Daniel
(brave even among lions),
"It is not the weight you carry
But how you carry it—
Books, bricks, grief—
It's all in the way
You embrace it, carry it…
Even when grief enters late, you can move towards the pain, and through it, by caring for yourself and giving yourself permission to grieve and mourn.
Embrace it, carry it, be startled when you laugh, admire beauty, and begin to heal.

Iran has begun installing centrifuges at the Natanz site where it plans 3,000 machines to enrich uranium in defiance of UN demands to halt nuclear activity, diplomats said on Thursday.
At the same time, Iran is blocking UN inspectors from installing surveillance cameras in the huge underground hall where the production lines, or cascades, of centrifuges are being set up, the diplomats said.
Both moves mark an escalation in the international showdown with Iran over a nuclear program which the US and others suspect is hiding secret development of an atom bomb, and on which the UN Security Council has levied sanctions to force Tehran to halt enrichment.
A diplomat in Vienna, where the UN watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is based, told reporters that "construction has started [at the underground Natanz facility] but the cascades have not yet been assembled."
Another diplomat said bringing in centrifuge parts had started last week. But Iran has not yet assem-bled a complete cascade, the basic unit for beginning actual enrichment, said the diplomats, who asked not to be named because of the confidentiality of the information.
Uranium enrichment uses centrifuges to make fuel for civilian nuclear reactors but can also produce the explosive material for atom bombs.
IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming refused to comment.
In Washington, the US administration said the report -- if confirmed -- offered more proof of Tehran's defiant stance toward the international community.
"If true, this would demonstrate that the Iranian government continues to disregard the will of the international community and the United Nations," US National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said.
Iran is building cascades in units of 164 centrifuges each. It already has two such cascades running aboveground at a pilot enrichment plant at Natanz which would only produce small amounts of enriched uranium.
But the underground plant, protected in a bunker from possible air attack, could produce enough highly enriched uranium for one bomb in nine to 11 months, the London think tank the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) has said.
Diplomats said Iran was stopping UN inspectors, who are currently at Natanz, from installing surveillance cameras at the underground site.
Iranian authorities are "not allowing the IAEA to install the cameras inside the [underground] cascade halls [for centrifuges] in Natanz and are causing further delays in the inspectors' activity," a diplomat who closely monitors IAEA's work told reporters.
The IAEA monitors the above-ground pilot site with cameras and visits by inspectors and is entitled under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to the same sort of presence at the underground facility, as the agency is mandated to monitor the use of nuclear material.
But Iranian authorities "have not yet introduced nuclear material [feedstock uranium gas] into the centrifuges at the underground site, so there is still time," a second diplomat said.
Another diplomat said: "The game is not over."
The first diplomat said: "The Iranians are now willing to accept the installation of cameras only outside the cascade halls, which will not enable the IAEA to monitor the entire uranium enrichment process."
But another diplomat said that "verification goals can be achieved from inside or outside cascade halls."

This is my third R.E.W Reynolds and like the previous two it is a big sized frame at 23.5" so rather on the larger size for me or at least that is what I thought at first sight when I picked the frame up .
The previous owners family have slowly been selling a deceased family members bikes off and this was the second one of his I had looked at. The previous one was listed up for sale earlier in the year and was a real retro lightweight machine that rather sadly had suffered over the years of use and then its forced retirement had taken its toll on the paintwork unfortunately , I decided against trying to buy that one as for my liking it was rather over priced . So when this frameset and associated parts came up recently I decided to have a go and see what happens .
On collection of the frame I was pleasantly surprised by its general condition being fairly good , ok there are a few age related marks on the paintwork some of which have a light rust covering on but these all add up to a nice patena . There is enough of the decals to see the company name and its logo is nicely in place as well . The frame is made up with Pheonix 101 tubing so not the lightest one on the market .
It came with most of the parts to make a complete bike apart from the wheels , chain and cables . So this gave me my first query as to either go for a set of 27" wheels or to see if the calipers supplied had enough drop to allow the fitment of 700 sized wheels , once the calipers were attached to the frame I offered a set of 700c wheels up and to my surprise the pads were already set at this position so I can only presume it had run 700 sized wheels previously and this made my decision even easier as I had no suitable 27" wheels for this build .
As the drop out width was only 120 mm compared to the more regular 126mm I chose a pr of unmatched used stock wheels from my collection for the initial build complete with 700 x 32 Michelin World Tour tyres. I was slightly concerned if they would look a bit lost in the rear half of the frame but I soon found that this combination of tyres and rims gave the same rolling circumference as 27 x 1 ¼ units .
Both the bottom bracket and headset units were able to be cleaned and reassembled without the need for newer replacements and both were in good condition just the upper head set bearings needed a few new balls as there was only 20 fitted . The original brake pads that came with it were really hardened up and would have had the stopping power of next to nothing so these were binned and some new ones fitted along with new inner and outer cables . I decided to fit a more period set of GB Maes Stratalight drop bars over the set of 80's Sakae world champion bars it came with along with a shorter quill stem . The original supplied cottered steel crank with Stronglight alloy rings and campag mechs and levers were retained and just given a light cleaning along with some new cables and gave me a choice of 10 speed over quite a tight gear ratio range .
My first initial test ride was a sedate cycle path adventure and it showed all was working ok and surprisingly nice to ride with a nice nimble feel to the bike . The only thing that gave any concern was the "Brooks" Colt saddle which did not feel remotely comfy at all so this was swapped over for the suede covered saddle shown fitted below .
After a weeks worth of doing 8 miles a day on my commuting journeys I was more than happy with the way things were going , I expected the larger sized tyres to feel a bit wallowy and very vague on the road but they feel fine and give a pleasurable ride quality . I decided it was time for some proper road miles so Sunday 17th saw the maiden journey , initially I was only intending to do 10 – 13 miles but all was going well and decided to do the full 20 mile loop and to my surprise at the 10 mile point I was only just a bit slower than the same loop on much more lighter and better equipped bikes .
The bike rode well and certainly behaved itself and gave me a very pleasant and enjoyable ride that I look forward to doing again .
Only last week I picked up a smaller sized R.E.W Reynolds that looks like it has led a very sheltered life and apart from perished tyres and a bit of paint fade , it looks like some fresh grease and some new perishable items should see it up and running again , so will comment at a later stage on this one .

With future 5G connections, why wouldn't every desktop be VDI?
5G mobile data connections will be here soon. With gigabit speeds and 1ms latency, this will be a game-changer for VDI
Last week I was at a joint Dell/VMware event where I spoke about the current state of the desktop virtualization market. After I was done, Shawn Bass spoke. Obviously I'd seen Shawn speak dozens of times over the past ten years, but I haven't seen him speak as much since he's been the CTO of End User Computing at VMware. (My point being that I actually paid attention this time. :)
As I've been thinking about what I want to write about for my final few articles on BrianMadden.com, I figured I'd focus on where we're going as an industry, and Shawn said something about the future that was a big "Ah ha" moment for me, so I wanted to share that here.
Shawn was talking about the upcoming 5G mobile network standard and what that might mean for VDI. I didn't write down the exact quote, but it was something like this:
5G networks are coming in the next 5 years. 5G will deliver gigabit-level bandwidth at 1ms latency over a mobile network. In that world, will users be able to tell a difference between a local and remote desktop? Will a remote desktop actually be a limiting factor? And if not, what can you do to get ready for that today?
I'm not sure if this is something that other people are talking about. (I guess yes?) But last week was the first that I actually thought about 5G in the context of VDI and remote Windows desktops.
Think about it. Going back to my first book about Citrix MetaFrame from 2002, we always talked about server-based computing (and VDI/RDSH) as being limited in terms of (1) network limitations mean the user experience will be reduced (as compared to local desktops), and (2) you can only use VDI/RDSH when you have a connection.
Putting aside the non-connected edge cases for a minute (airplanes, deserts, etc.), what would 5G mean for VDI? In today's world, we have 4G essentially everywhere, and remoting protocols are essentially perfect when you have 1Gbps / 1ms latency connections. So if we magically had that network available to us anywhere, is there a reason not to deliver a Windows desktop via VDI?
Most people think about mobile networks in the context of mobile devices--but keep in mind that in today's world, laptops & Chromebooks can use mobile networks for internet connectivity just as easily as phones and tablets. If 5G was a thing, it seems that we'd get to the point where a thin client-type laptop (Chromebook?) with a 5G connection would be totally fine? And in that world, can you think of a reason why you wouldn't want to just plan to use that as your default desktop delivery architecture for all your users?
Again, I say this in the context that in today's world, RDSH/VDI works perfectly fine as the "primary" solution for LAN / on-campus users--it's just been the mobile use case that's been a limiting factor. But remove that limitation....
So let's assume that 5G is a thing and it is Gbps/1ms-level connections. Let's assume you can get the same performance remotely (from anywhere) as you could locally. Now combine the other benefits of VDI (easier compliance, separate the device from the Windows instance, centralized upgrades, potentially easier security and compliance, keep your desktop running at all times, etc, etc. So assuming we have that in four or five years, what would you do today to get ready? How would that shape your current and near-future RDSH/VDI planning?
I'm not saying that we have to rip out our WiFi or that in 2020 we'll move all desktops to VDI. But given your current plans for RDSH, VDI, and/or DaaS, assuming a future 5G world, how would that change your plans? How would you deliver desktops in that world? And what can you do now to prepare?
Maybe the answer is that you do nothing now. But now that VDI technology is legit--storage is fixed, we can do real persistent or non-persistent, costs have come way down--I have to think that ubiquitous Gbps/1ms network connections are the next big barrier to fall which keeps us from (the potential for) VDI everywhere. So what would that world look like? What are you doing to get ready?

Yesterday was fun, we left the house somewhat early and met Rory, then Vachel, and wandered around town for a bit trying to get our train ticket (office was closed) and having our Salad King lunch. It was awesome good, just like we remembered.
The evening was filled with old friends and conversation and beer (and a very poor performance by myself, but I don't think anyone was listening anyway. Having not played or practiced in about six months, I couldn't remember a thing.)
Anyhow, there were a few people who didn't make it out that were missed, and a couple of surprise dropins that were nice to see. We were out exceptionally late, and arrived back at Ian's place where we were crashing at about 3am. We stayed up until about 3:30, then tried to sleep until about 8am. Neither of us slept particularly well, though, and when we got up we were zombies. After making our way back to Adam's grandmother's house, Adam took a quick nap while I helped prepare the giant hanukkah meal for fifteen that was to occur at lunchtime. People arrived, lunch was had and there was much socializing until perhaps 3:45 or so, when everyone left. Adam's watching tv and dozing now, and I'm sitting on the computer. Tomorrow morning we have to be up at 6 to make our way down to the train station for 8. Early morning sucks.
I should be thinking about napping myself, but I'm almost afraid to – at this point, if I nap I may not sleep the night through. I could sleep on the train tomorrow, but I don't really want to – I like looking out the window for that sort of thing.
We were going to go out to a movie tonight, but now we're both just too tired. We're not going anywhere further than out to the coffee shop, and that only if anyone calls and wants to try and see us tonight, so not very likely.

Republic Day Nail ArtHi friends, I finally managed to do my Republic Day Nails for Republic Day celebrated in India on 26th January. I always miss doing nails important days. On almost all such days when you should be dead without nail art, I am surprisingly and shamelessly alive with 'Nude Nails'!! Even on my last birthday, I was nude nails, and that's a shame!!
For a change I am wearing a nail art I am supposed to for this 'Republic Day'. I did a stamping nail art which is not something new ofcourse. What is new is that I used two colors for stamping. I know its not a rocket science but I missed on trying it before.
Its not perfect but decent for a first timer using two colors for stamping. Its a calculation starting from which polish you brush on plate image first to which part of image you pick first while rolling your stamper head.
I used Sally Hansen White On as a base. For stamping I used Street Wear Green Polish and Salon Perfect Traffic Cone. The plate I used is Moyou London Tourist Plate.
I used some Neon Studs on my accent nail to pop it up. This is my favorite nail. I bordered the Asoka Chakra on my accent with neon studs I got from http://BornPrettystore.com for review.
If you decide on buying them , you can utilize my coupon code HQBQ10 to get a 10% off sitewide.
How do guuys find my nail art? The inpiration for this nail art is ofcourse drawn from the Tri-Color Flag. I am glad how they turned out. Let me know your thoughts on it.

"A freak storm unleashes a species of bloodthirsty creatures on a small town, where a small band of citizens hole up in a supermarket and fight for their lives."
Those of you who, unlike me, are still fans of "The Walking Dead" already know that at least three of its regular cast members also appeared in Frank Darabont's adaptation of Stephen King's "The Mist". In fact, if you just replace the zombies with weird creatures in a fog, the whole group of bickering people in this film is almost identical to everyone in "The Walking Dead" anyway.
Having now managed to take my quick swipes at the nepotism and lack of originality in "The Walking Dead", I'll hasten to add that I had a great time rewatching "The Mist" even though I didn't like it when it first came out. Call me old-fashioned, but I actually enjoyed Stephen King's novella when I first read it way back in "Dark Forces" from 1980 but less so when I found myself reading it again in "Skeleton Crew" five years later. By the time the movie appeared, I was very familiar with story, had imagined how all the characters would look, and was very disappointed. I suppose that's always the problem with watching any movie adaptation of a book.
I'll just mention that the version I have of "The Mist" is the standard R-rated single disc edition and not the super-duper "Two-Disc Collector's Edition" with a black and white version of the movie on the second disc. If I wanted to watch "The Mist" in black and white, I'd either have to adjust the colour controls on my computer or buy an old black and white television from a yard sale. I can't really be bothered to do either. I really don't like black and white movies that much and it would be pointless now that I've already seen the normal version of the movie at least three times.
Anyway, before I say why I enjoyed "The Mist", let me point out that it wasn't just because of Laurie Holden. That would be too predictable so allow let me make you feel worried by saying that the hottest actress in the movie for me was Marcia Gay Harden who played Mrs. Carmody. Sometimes batshit crazy is sexier.
Honestly, the stand-out performance in "The Mist" belongs entirely to Marcia Gay Harden. Even though she's the woman you love to hate, there is nobody more memorable. "The Mist" really is a "by the numbers" straight-to-DVD movie as far as the other acting performances go. Just because it had a budget big enough to turn it into a theatrical release instead doesn't change my assessment there. It looks like a SyFy channel movie for the most part too.
If you don't believe me, just look at the CGI creatures. They are actually pretty great on the small screen but not so effective in a cinema where they mostly look like something out of a computer game. The slight fuzziness of a DVD when played, in particular, on a CRT television evens the effects out quite nicely and makes everything feel more claustrophobic. Playing the DVD on my massive HDTV doesn't work quite so well, but it's less jarring than I expect the Blu-ray would be. If you have the Blu-ray, please let me know how it looks.
The biggest difference between the novella and the movie is, of course, the ending. Both are quite bleak, but Frank Darabont really went for the final shock and twist rather than the faint hope that Stephen King imagined. I'm not sure which I prefer although I was annoyed with the written version for not wrapping things up so neatly after God knows how many hundreds of pages I read.
I'm going to recommend "The Mist" primarily to Stephen King fans and even to H.P. Lovecraft fans (since the influence is obvious). For the average horror fan, I'd say it would be quite entertaining too. It's not the scariest movie ever, but, personally, because I hate bugs and spidery things, it works for me.

PARK RIDGE, IL, April 16, 2016 – Twenty-six members of Northwest Choral Society ("NWCS") received recognition as a group and for two of its members at the ninth annual Windy City Choral Festival held Saturday, April 16 in Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center. Internationally renowned composer, conductor and lecturer Z. Randall Stroope served as the three-day Festival's artistic director, rehearsed with the six participating choirs and conducted the finale concert.
The Festival selected Northwest Choral Society as one of three choirs to perform individually at the final concert. NWCS Artistic Director Alan Wellman directed the chorus in James Whitbourn's "Kyrie", from Annelies, and Gweneth Walker's How Can I Keep from Singing.
Two of NWCS's members, Beth Phillips (soprano) from Schaumburg and Stephanie Londono (alto) from Des Plaines, auditioned for Dr. Stroope and were selected to sing solos at the Festival's finale concert when over 200 singers from all six participating choirs performed Schubert's Mass in G.
Dr. Stroope is the Director of Choral and Vocal Studies at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where he conducts the Concert Chorale, Chamber Choir, and Women's Chorus. As a composer, Dr. Stroope has published 125 musical works (instrumental, solo voice, and choral).
"(I am) so incredibly proud of the members of Northwest Choral Society that performed at the Windy City Festival today," Alan Wellman told the group after the performance. NWCS president and Mt. Prospect resident Penny Perles said, "What a great opportunity to perform on the Orchestra Hall stage and to meet and learn from Dr. Stroope."

text: Page ContentDynamic pressure measurements are important in many fields of industry, e.g. combustion engines, aerodynamics, ballistics and turbomachinery. As a first in Europe, VTT MIKES Metrology is now opening a SI-traceable calibration service for dynamic pressures of up to 500 MPa (5000 bar). The development of the calibration system was initiated in a European research project (EMRP Dynamic). After intensive further development and characterisation, the system is now ready for commercial operations, i.e. metrologically traceable calibrations for customers and commercial R&D activities. This system is unique in Europe.The new dynamic pressure primary standard generates repeatable pressure peaks with peak pressures of 20 MPa to 500 MPa and pulse duration of 2.5 milliseconds. As a primary realisation of dynamic pressure, the system provides the traceability to the SI-system base units of kilogram, metre and second. Based on a thorough analysis and experimental validation, the measurement uncertainty is estimated to be approx. 1.5 % (k = 2) for the peak pressure. The main components of the system are the measuring head, including a piston cylinder assembly and a small pressure chamber filled with glycerol, and the weight. Additional components are an interferometer, a charge amplifier, digital-to-analogue converters, a measurement computer and software. The weight is dropped on the piston, which compresses glycerol inside the chamber, generating a pressure pulse. The displacement of the dropping weight during the impact is measured with a Michelson-type of interferometer setup, and the acceleration of the piston is determined from the interferometer data. The pressure is determined as a function of time from the mass of the weight, the acceleration and the piston cylinder unit effective area, using the well-known relation p = ma / A.This unique system opens us new possibilities for customer work and co-operation both at national and international levels. MIKES is the first in Europe to offer a truly traceable calibration service for dynamic pressure transducers in this measurement range. The measurement system is now up and running for customer service. Figure 1. Pulse duration is about 2.5 ms and the peak pressure about 500 MPa. HTML 2 HTML 3 HTML 4 HTML 5 HTML 6

As discussed earlier, a normal salivary pH (normal: 6 to 7, range: 5.3 to 7.8) is imperative to maintain a healthy oral environment. Consequently, measuring resting and stimulated salivary pH is an important element of caries risk assessment. Measuring salivary pH can also be used to determine the time it takes to return to normal pH after an acid challenge (Figure 2). This information then provides an opportunity to correlate the buffering capacity of the patient's saliva and information obtained from the patient's social history, i.e., their pattern of consumption of beverages with a pH < 5 such as most soft drinks, citrus juices, coffee, wine, energy drinks, and sports drinks.
Figure 2. Saliva-check Buffer System.
Bicarbonate (HCO3-) ions play a major role in the salivary buffering system. Since mastication is a powerful stimulus of the secretion of sodium bicarbonate into parotid saliva, patients with residual salivary gland function may benefit from chewing sugar-free gum (e.g., Biotène Dry Mouth Gum, Trident with Xylitol Gum, or Trident XtraCare with Recaldent).32 Patients without residual salivary gland function can increase their salivary pH and their salivary buffering capacity by frequently rinsing with a sodium bicarbonate solution. In particular, patients should rinse vigorously after the intake of acidic foods and drinks.

County Parks with Camping
About County Parks
This site provides a means of finding campgrounds in county parks in the US. Many campers and RVers agree that county parks are the best kept secrets in camping or RVing! They often offer camping in neat settings and usually at bargain prices, especially when compared to RV resorts. But until now, these county parks have been hard to find. The goal of this site is to help campers find these gems of the outdoors so they can be enjoyed by more RVers and campers.
The Problem With County Parks
All states have subdivisions called counties (or parishes). And most counties in our beautiful country have parks for the recreation, including camping, of their residents and visitors. Unfortunately, the mere existance of these parks seems to be one of the governments' best kept secrets. The reasons for this are understandable:
- The primary purpose of these parks, at least originally, was for the enjoyment of the county's residents—the local people.
- The governing entity, the county, is an administrative body which is often totally invisible and unknown except to local residents.
The county is far less recognizable by the general public than are cities or states. As a result, county parks are not easy to locate. An RVer from Indiana, for example, who is travelling West is highly unlikely to know the counties in Iowa through which he will travel.
Because counties themselves enjoy such a low profile, their parks are all but impossible to locate unless one is willing to devote a considerable amount of time searching for them or has inside knowledge of the parks.
The Solution
Everyone knows which state he will be in, and usually knows or can easily determine the highway on which he will travel. From this, he can usually determine the area in which he would like to camp. For example, he might determine that a location along Federal Highway 12 in Western Minnesota would be a conveninet place to spend a night. A locating system which would show the county parks with camping in this area would be very useful.
The Vision For This Site
The "fondest dream" for this site is that it will allow a visitor to locate a county park with camping facillities in a specific area of interest simply by looking at a map and clicking
It will also include links to county sites which may provide additional details on their parks.
Ads of interest to RVers or campers are also be included.
Current Status Of This Site
This site will never be complete. There are simply too many county parks! To begin providing service to fellow RVers, this site was opened in 2010 with a few county parks listed. Parks of which the webmaster has personal knowledge or has found by browsing, parks which have been suggested by other RVers, etc. have been and will continue to be added. Also, there are links to other sites which provide or lead to county park information. (This info isn't as easy to find as one might think, therefore this site, as it grows, will be very useful to the RVer and camper.)
Useful Links
- City and County Campgrounds, by State, from Roadnotes
Here's another site which will help you find county parks. It appears to rely on campers such as you and I to report parks for listing and we haven't done a complete job. There are many, many, county parks not listed. But it just might have one or more which you can enjoy; take a look.
It also lists some city parks, plus state parks. Better yet, the site design makes it easy to find what you're looking for!
This site offers much more than simply a listing of county parks. Take a look at it; I'd be willing to bet that you'll find something of interest on this attractive, comprehensive, and useful site.
- Spring Lake Park
The picture at the top of this page was taken at Spring Lake Park, near Jefferson, Iowa(US-30). This link will tell you a bit about Greene County, Jefferson, and the park.
Jefferson is home to the Greene County Historical Museum, a fine museum indeed. If you're traveling through and are interested in the history of this area, be sure to visit the museum in downtown Jefferson. (You might have to chase down somone to open it for you, but tell them you're an RVer and I'll bet they'll be thrilled to show you the history of the area!)
- mycountyparks.com
This site might be very useful if you are looking for a county park in Iowa. The map shows over 400 locations!
But it does have its shortcomings for readers looking for a place to camp. First, it shows offices and natural areas which are not places at which you can camp. Second, it does not show all the county parks! For example, Lidktke Mill Park, one mile north of Lime Springs (just off US63 in extreme northern Iowa) has camping but is not shown.
This site is cerainly a step in the right direction. Give it a try!

Trusting your business logic
Some Norwegian politician, last year banned diesel cars in the centre of Oslo on days with high air pollution. Some reporters did the paper trail and it turned that there is no documented research connecting the estimated 185 people dying too early each year and the NOX pollution from diesel engines.
Which goes to show that not all logic can be trusted.
Also in business, a lot of effort is put into building clear business logic. We all talk about "strategy to execution", "aligning with business value", "turning strategy into results", "drawing the big picture", "setting the right KPIs transparent" etc.
Which is all good.
When looking at management theory and software, you sometimes get the feeling that the topic is about presenting, tracing and tracking information based on pre-conceived logics.
In my experience, I would say it is the opposite - the topic is about whether I can trust my logic or not.
Like in the politics example, many business managers are more exposed to the risk that the logic is not sound than that individual facts in the argumentation are wrong.
So, despite that technology has made the linking and tracing of facts easier, the way to secure the sanity of the logic remains blurred or implied.
Which is in my mind why building trusted business logic is where managers and management teams have the highest potential for increasing organizational success rate.
Since trust, is the willingness to rely on the actions of another party, it is a question of communication, delegation and setting expectations in clear context with actions. Most of the time, these topics have had a tendancy of being typical soft skill management themes - using talk and simple templates to detail and structure and agree logic.
From a humanistic point of view this is probably fine, as it leaves freedom for interpretation, personal style and freedom to improvise. From a system point of view, it leaves organizations with a broken logic and "leap of faith" logic to manage by.
I believe that the competitive advantage of the next generation business management platforms, is in their ability to help management teams dynamically formulate trusted business logic - and where the storing and displaying of its results are more a consequence – and therefor will need to dynamically change with the changes of logic.

Create a place where your plants and pets can flourish in harmony. This guide will help you choose the best pooch-friendly plants that are safe to have around dogs. Read on and learn how to keep your best friend safe.
Some dogs just can't help themselves when it comes to chewing, nibbling and eating almost anything – and the contents of our gardens are no exception. While many gardens contain plants that can be harmful to humans, but which are completely safe for dogs, it's still a good idea to make sure your garden is free of absolutely anything that might cause your dog harm. Dogs are unpredictable at the best of times, so you never know if they might suddenly decide to make your plants a tasting platter.
Read on to find out what plants are best for a dog-friendly garden. Remember, it's not just about shade, securing the perimeter, and a place to play. Shield your friend from all possible harm by following our guide to plants that are safe for pets.
Plan the structure first
Too much open dirt may lead to your dog digging up a storm, and you know they are happy to traipse carefree right through your flowerbeds with the most delicate blooms. Shrubberies, garden beds and wire enclosures (especially during your plants' establishment time) time may be necessary. These can protect your plants and your pooch alike.
The best flowers for dogs
Some of your favourite blooms may be poisonous to your dog – did you know that daffodil bulbs, Bergenia (elephant's ears) and yew are all highly toxic to puppers? Here are some flowers that are safe for dogs:
Forsythia: Bursting with sunshine, Forsythia will brighten up any yard with its vivid yellow colour. You can have a single plant or grow this flower as a hedge.
Echinacea: These daisy-like flowers are a pretty addition to any garden bed, and hardy enough to survive without much attention, even during dry spells Echinacea can even be used to make your own immune-boosting medicine come cold and flu season – it might even be good for your dog to have a chew on these leaves!
Buddleja: This plant has gorgeous purple and white flowers when in bloom, and will attract butterflies and bees to your garden as well. It's also a relatively no-fuss flower variety.
Lilac: This ornamental shrub adds gorgeous purple flowers and a sweet scent to your yard.
Safe succulent plants for your dog-friendly garden
Certain common succulents like jade plant and aloe vera are bad news for dogs, but you can keep enjoying them as long as they are potted, up high and away from curious snouts. Houseleek is an easy-care succulent that looks great in rock gardens, pots and garden beds. Like most succulents they require very little care, and are happy in varying degrees on sunshine with a little water now and then. Other succulents that aren't dangerous to dogs include hens-and-chicks, ponytail palm, burro's tail and Christmas cactus.
Dog-friendly herbs and vegetables
Veggies and fruits can be shared with dogs as part of a balanced diet – but be warned, you might have to fence off your garden from greedy pups!
The following types of fruits and veggies are safe for dogs to eat in small quantities: apples, bananas, watermelon, strawberries, oranges, blueberries, carrots, capsicums, broccoli, cucumber, celery, pears, potatoes, peaches, raspberries, artichokes, cranberries, lettuce, pumpkin, peas, radishes, silver beet, zucchinis, and mango.
Dog friendly herbs include: basil, mint, and parsley.
Plant some dog's bane
This herb has a strong minty odour that dogs intensely dislike, so it could be a good deterrent if there are some poisonous plants in your garden that you just can't part with, but that you want to keep your dog away from. In this instance, make sure the garden bed is very well surrounded. Dog bane is in the mint family, and its scent will also keep cats out of your garden bed.
Only use all-natural mulch and fertiliser
Commercial chemical fertilisers can make pets sick, and can be deadly if ingested accidentally. Instead, make your own fertiliser with compost scraps from the kitchen. This has the added benefits of saving you money, and from being exposed to intense chemicals yourself. You can also make your own mulch by saving your grass clippings and compacting them solidly around freshly planted additions to your garden. These will have the added benefits of hiding all that churned earth, which looks like an irresistible invitation to dig to your dog.
Go for some ground cover
Ground cover plants are another way to avoid too much tempting open soil in your garden. They also look lovely, and are an all-natural way to choke out weeds. Elfin thyme, miniature stonecrop, Labrador violet and Irish moss are some hardy ground cover varieties that will stand up to your dog's frolicking.
Dead patches on your lawn
Dogs love to patrol the yard, but this can result in the lawn being worn in certain parts. If you notice this, it may be a sign your dog needs more exercise. If you step up walking and your dog is still running laps outside, you can put in some pathways with pavers, gravel or mulch on the most often trodden areas. Have a read of our blog post 8 Easy Tips for Walking an Energetic Dog for inspiration on upping your pup's workout routine.
A garden your pooch will love
So there you have it, a guide to creating a happy yard space for you and your pet. Not only will you have a lovely backyard filled with vibrant plants, flowers and herbs, but now you can be safe in the knowledge your furry friend will be free from any potential harm. We wish you many a happy time in the garden together!

Back from the Faroe Islands
I was lucky to spend a couple of weeks in these incredible Islands. Wind swept fjords fall into the frothy blue North Atlantic, sheep perch impossibly on rocky cliffs and sea birds dart here and there attempting to find purchase in the wind with their strained wings. The Faroe Islands have Norway's fjords, Iceland's Drama and Scotland's Mystery .

For me nothing can beat the feeling of seeing your favourite band/singer live and in person. Seeing them in the flesh singing the songs you love is something really special.
Don't get me wrong I love listening to CD's and downloads but seriously nothing will ever feel better or more exciting than going to a live gig. From the start of the day the excitement builds.
What am I going to wear? How early should I start queuing,? What merch should I buy? Will they sing my favourite song? Will they premiere any new materiel? It's all so exhilarating.
Over the years I have been lucky enough to see some amazing singer's and band's live. I've witnessed Cheryl at a sold-out O2 Arena in London, Girls Aloud at the same venue, Joe McElderry at St David's Hall in Cardiff, Ward Thomas at The Globe in Cardiff, two X Factor gigs at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, Union J at the same venue and also at The Glee Club in Cardiff, I have seen Little Mix, JLS and more at the Pontypridd's Big Weekend Festival in the park. Every single concert I have been to holds a special place in my heart and I always love booking new events.
Tonight I am going to see Ward Thomas for the second time in Cardiff and I am so excited. They are amazing live and their harmonies are spine tingling. And I am also going to see Lady Antebellum in Birmingham for the first time ever this October.
For me there is nothing more exciting or entertaining than going to a live gig.
If you have any new music tips for me please leave a comment!
