Frequently Asked Questions about Roundcube (Rensselaer's IMAP Webmail client)
Frequently Asked Questions about Roundcube
I am over quota, what do I do?
The quota for IMAP mailboxes is 500MB, and cannot be increased. In order to make space for new incoming messages, you will have to delete emails that are in the mailbox. If you would like to save these messages, you can utilize a local client like Outlook or Thunderbird, and copy the messages to a local folder outside of the RPI mailbox before deleting them from the server.
Messages that are put into the Trash folder in IMAP still count against the quota. To effectively delete messages when you are over quota, you can empty the Trash folder:
- Log into Roundcube http://roundcube.rpi.edu
- In the lower left corner, click the gear (Folder actions) button.
- Select "Empty" from the options given.
- Click "OK" in the pop-up window to confirm deletion of all messages in the Trash folder.
- Your quota usage is listed on the email page in the lower left corner.
Mailbox so full you can't move items into Trash?
- In the upper right corner, click the gear (Settings) button.
- On this page there are three sections. Under Settings, select Preferences. Under Section, select "Server settings".
- In the right section, check the box next to "If moving messages to Trash fails, delete them."
- Click the Save button to confirm your changes.
Why is my Roundcube mailbox empty?
If you are a new employee (faculty or staff), your mailbox is located on our other email server, and can be access at http://exchange.rpi.edu
If you have previously used Roundcube or your RPI IMAP mailbox and suddenly find that your inbox is empty, please contact the VCC Helpdesk. We will need to know the last time your inbox was full and if any action was taken that may have caused messages to be deleted/moved. In some cases, we may be able to restore those messages.
I cannot login to Roundcube
Roundcube login requires that you have an active status at Rensselaer, either as a registered student or as a current employee. Any change in status can affect the ability to login to your email, and will generate an email notification to inform you of exactly when your account will no longer be accessible. If you receive this notification in error, please contact the Registrar's office (students) or your department (employees) to resolve the issue.
Occassionally, our logs indicate that an RCS account has been compromised, and that account will be suspended until the owner contacts the VCC Helpdesk so that we can verify the owner's identity and restore the account.
How do I copy an address book into the new Roundcube webmail?
- Login to the Roundcube webmail: http://webmail.rpi.edu
- In the upper right corner, select the person icon, "Address Book".
- On the new page, if it is not already selected, highlight "Personal Addresses". In the upper left corner, select the "Import" button.
- In the new window, click the "Browse" button to navigate to the location of the file. Once the file is selected, click the "Import" button.
- Your contacts should appear in your Roundcube address book page.
Can Roundcube be used to read mail on the Exchange server?
No. This is the web-based client for Rensselaer's IMAP servers, not our Exchange service. The web client for Exchange is http://exchange.rpi.edu.
What is Roundcube?
This open source software, first available in 2008, has been used by many large universities, including UC Berkeley and the University of Michigan.
Additional background on Roundcube can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundcube
How do I access shared folders, or mailboxes I have delegate access to?
- Log into RoundCube
- In the lower left corner, click the gear (Folder actions) button, and select "Manage folders".
- On this page there are three sections. You will see all folders to which you have access in the second section. To subscribe to a folder so you can view the contents, click the box to add a check mark.
- Shared folders can be found under "Shared Folders". For delegate access, look under "Other Users".
- Click the envelope icon in the upper right corner to return to mail. Your folders should be available on the left.
Roundcube on smartphones?
The browsers on many smartphones can connect to Roundcube without difficulty, but some models may not be able to. In those cases, we recommend using the local client on the device to connect directly to the IMAP server: http://dotcio.rpi.edu/services/email/imap/client-configuration

We're probably one of the only FIAR families that didn't start with this book, or at least row it early on . . . but as I've said before, we just kind of moved through the curriculum wherever our interests take us. We finally got around to rowing one of the most popular stories . . .
This post contains affiliate links.
The Story About Ping by Marjorie Flack is a classic that helps us explore the topics of discernment and obedience, as well as spend a little time learning about China. It was a pretty casual row, and I'm behind in sharing this one also, so I'm almost forgetting what we studied!
Social Studies
Discernment, China, Yangtzee River
We learned a little about China--location, culture, the flag, etc.
We watched an episode of Wild China on Netflix, then completed a notebooking page about what we learned about China. Elliott talked about the animals he saw in the documentary, and how he learned he was born in the Year of the Dog. Emory talked about some of the animals as well, particularly snakes and cormorants.
We played on a language translator for a long time!
The boys really enjoyed listening to, and trying to pronounce everyone's names.
We cooked "Chinese Fried Rice" (recipe adapted from a Google search, lol) and tried our hand with chopsticks. Elliott had the best luck, but none of us were great.
Counting/Grouping, Addition
The boys did some pages from the Homeschool Share Ping lapbook.
Language Arts
Classics, Fiction, Story Elements
The Fiction Book Report for Elliott went along with some of the discussion points in the manual, and I added the Story Elements page for Emory to do at the same time.
They both chose different items, made their predictions and tested them. Eleanor enjoyed helping them with this activity!
D is for Ducks
I didn't do a full separate unit for her, she just kind of tagged along with the book, the science and did a few extra little activities of her own.
She loves her dot painting of course.
The duck matching was from http://www.1plus1plus1equals1.net/ and just gave her something to do for fun.
Like I said, simple and relaxed and casual. Our next row, Andy and the Lion, was also casual.

I am coming out of a physical downturn of late. A couple of days ago I had another liter of fluid drained from my lungs, which made me breathe easier. I went to "chemo school" this week as well in preparation for beginning chemotherapy in the next week. In both experiences the health care providers emphasized my being proactive with any physical discomfort. So with some pretty radical lifestyle restructuring – like eating six small meals a day instead of 2-3, I am physically on the mend, which also means my head is in a better place.
About ten friends have joined together to study a book I mentioned before On The Brink of Everything by Parker Palmer. I am amazed at how true that title is regardless of my circumstances. I have really no idea what chemo is going to bring but it is truly the Brink of new experiences and possibilities.
This understanding has also shaken me out of a funk I have been in of late. Although I weeded, fertilized, and prepared a couple of beds for fall crops, I had yet to plant the seeds. Part of my reluctance was my new limited diet and problems with digesting the high fiber vegetables I intended to plant. I also had concerns about even being able to keep up the gardens this fall if chemotherapy proves to be a rough experience.
Today, I planted the seeds. If I can't eat the bounty, there are plenty who can. (Speaking of which, if anyone local wants some fresh-cut basil, I got a ton of it – let me know.) If I cannot maintain the crops alone, other folks can help.
I had two motivating factors in planting the seeds. First, I did not want December to come with unopened seed packets and overgrown beds, but me being in reasonably good health, regretting my inaction. This is the very logic that convinced me to go back to school after my first year of sobriety, and it carried me through to a PhD. I did not want to be sitting here 20 years later regretting roads not traveled.
Perhaps most importantly is the appreciation of the AA slogan One Day At A Time. In today's world of mass shootings, genocide, natural disasters, road rage and a myriad of other factors, I can die from many other causes long before my stage four cancer works its own kind of magic. I truly have only today, this hour, this minute. When I planted the seeds today I found an enjoyment and a sense of purpose in bringing new life and abundance to the world. Having a reason to get up in the morning, whether to weed the crops, sit along the River with Emma and Grace, meet refugees with comfort kits at the bus station, attend a worship service with my friends, or work on a new skill in digital design – I know are reasons for living, cancer or not.
As I have written on many occasions, my best preparation for dealing with cancer today is my recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous, and living one-day-at-a-time for the past 30 plus years.

Anderson, Poul – "Genius" (1948)
Stop me if you've heard this one before: There's an interstellar human empire, and it's kind of ossifying slowly in deliberate echoes of the Roman empire, and there is a "Psychotechnic Foundation" devoted to using "psychotechniques" to guide the historical phases of this empire in order to forestall the inevitable decline to which the current inertia is leading. To that end, the psychotechnicians have seeded a number of planets with various human genetypes, the most prominent of which is Station Seventeen, a planet of super geniuses. The conflict here lies in a seemingly endless discussion (on a ship en route to Station Seventeen) between Heym, the psychotechnician in charge of this project, and Goram, an atavistic ape of a military man who has been sent to investigate the possible dangers posed to the empire by these super-duper-geniuses. The meat of this story is a paean to said super-duper-geniuses, who are superior to common meat-and-potatoes humans in every conceivable way (a point also made earlier about the alien Kingman, whose advanced intellect made him "as convinced of his superiority to us as–say–Napoleon or Edison would have been dumped down among a tribe of Australian bushmen"), delivered via endless debate between Heym and the ape-like Goram, who wants to wipe out the life on the planet. Did I mention that Goram is kind of atavistic or brutish, even?
The pages and pages of argument here boil down to:
1. "All progress is due to gifted individuals"
2. "The ordinary man is just plain stupid. Perhaps proper mind training could lift him above himself, but it's never been tried. Meanwhile he remains immensely conservative, only occasional outbreaks of mindless hysteria engineered by some special group stirring him out of his routine. He follows, or rather he accepts what the creative or dominant minority does, but it is haltingly and unwillingly."
Eventually Heym and Goram go down to the planet incognito to observe more, and Heym, despairing of his ability to reason with the atavistic, brutish Goram, attempts to murder him. There is then the big reveal (not that Station Seventeen was Earth, as I was half expecting) that the geniuses were even more intelligent and advanced than Heym realized, Goram is a native of the planet and a spy in their employ, and they are covertly taking over the universe. "After all, Homo intelligens can no more be expected to serve Homo sapiens than early man to serve the apes."
Like Foundation (which began in 1942), this was published in Astounding under the supervision of John Campbell, so I have no idea if this was originally supposed to be tied in to Asimov's work or published in dialogue with it or just if no one cared that they were recycling premises.
The utopia of Station Seventeen, by the way, is the only non-warlike society the Empire has ever seen, post-scarcity and non-materialistic (largely because "few if any geniuses could stand to work on an assembly line all day"), physically spread out (in contrast to the world-city sprawls of the Empire), and had "casually accepted equality of the sexes even at this primitive level of technology." Not a single woman appears in the story, though.

Why wait(), notify() and notifyAll() methods have been defined in the Object class? Java concurrency model uses locks to implement mutually exclusive access to objects in a multi-threaded environment and locks are associated with every object in Java (of type 'Object'), not only with Threads. wait, notify/notifyAll methods are used by threads to communicate with each other while trying to access a common object. Putting it differently, objects become a medium via which threads communicate with each other. For example: suppose there is a 'telephone' object, which at one point of time can be used by only one thread. Like every other object in Java, 'telephone' object would also have an intrinsic lock (monitor) associated with it which at one point of time can be acquired by only one thread. Suppose the 'telephone' object requires activation before it can be used and suppose only a few admin threads can activate the 'telephone' object. As soon as a thread needs access to the 'telephone' object, it checks if the lock on that 'telephone' object is available or not, if yes, it acquires that and checks if the 'telephone' is active or not. If yes, it starts using it otherwise it calls 'wait()' on the telephone object which effectively releases the monitor of the 'telephone' object (eventually to be acquired by one of the admin threads for its activation) and puts the requester thread into the wait-set of the 'telephone' object. The requester thread goes into WAITING state. The way every object in Java has an intrinsic lock associated with it, it has an intrinsic wait-set associated with it as well. Every other non-admin requester thread goes through the same process as discussed above till one of the admin threads acquire lock on the 'telephone' object and eventually activates it and subsequently calls 'notify()' or 'notifyAll()' on the 'telephone' object. 'notify()' will simply pick one of the threads from the wait-set of the 'telephone' object (which one will be picked is an implementation dependent stuff and Java Language specification doesn't enforce any restriction on which one to be picked) and the chosen thread will now get out of WAITING mode and start trying to acquire the monitor/lock of the 'telephone' object along with any other thread that might be vying to access the 'telephone' at that point of time. The only difference between 'notify' and 'notifyAll' is that in case of the latter all the threads of the corresponding wait-set are picked and they all start trying to acquire the
lock on the object (with any other incoming requester thread) at the same time. Evidently you see that these three methods are essentially object-related and not thread-related and hence the designers of Java Language considered it wise to put them in the Object class instead of putting them into the Thread class. The usage of the 'object' (in our case 'telephone') is the particular object's prerogative and not that of the requester threads'. Putting these three methods in the Object class helps the objects owning/controlling their usage in a better way as in that case a thread needs to first acquire the lock on the object (kind of getting a license to use the object) and then calling either wait (in case the thread doesn't find the object in the state it would have wished it to be in and hence thought of waiting for some time to let the object become useful for it) or notify/notifyAll to alert other threads waiting on the object once it finishes using the object (of course in the case when the thread find the object useful in its current state). Additionally, the communication among the interested threads becomes far too easier when the control is kept at the object's level - one common shared resource/medium and all interested threads communicating via it. Not that the communication won't be possible if these methods are kept in the Thread class, but the handling of the communication and usage of the objects in a multi-threaded environment will probably become more complex and less flexible in that case.

We ask the attention of all Rock 'n' roll fans! A brand new fashion line from the youthful high street brand Pepe Jeans London has arrived for you to update your extremely cool looks for the cold season. You were most probably obsessed by the campaigns of the latest lines from this brand with the thick-browed beauty Cara Delevingne starring in them. This time a bold group of British models has come to replace her in the Pepe Jeans fall/winter 2015-2016 advertising campaign named "Always London'. Lensed by the famed fashion photographer Glen Luchford, the images feature top models Sam Rollinson, Jourdan Dunn, Flo Kosky and Hollie May Saker, who is a familiar face from the latest River Island fall 2015 campaign. The black and white pictures showcase the models in trendy and cool denim pieces from Pepe Jeans' latest collection styled by Charlotte Stockdale.
First thing that we cannot but mention about this campaign is that we absolutely like the girls' diversity. Looking at the pictures any of us can find a favorite to go for; also, we can see the numbers on various skin and body types, which ensures the clearer image. The few but worthy colorless pictures are taken in a modern, minimalist house decorated with a fluffy carpet, leather furniture and wide windows, which serve as highlighting factors for the pieces. We like the skinny, straight denim pants, jackets and chambray shirts that go with almost any outfit. There are also monochrome linen overall buttoned shirt suits, lightweight long-sleeve dresses with geometrical and rain patterns on them, polka dotted shirts and short black A-line tube skirts with diagonal front zipper. The line has fabulous boots to go with your favorite rockstar looks: suede boots with laces and thin high heels, black lacquer boots and suede boots on medium heel are some of the cool footwear options you can wear every day and stay chic and comfy. Interesting complements to these pieces are the black dotted tights, which make your simple and easy looks a little edgy with loads of character.
The makeup and hair of the models are kept natural and carefree without overly crazy solutions: just a little definition and you are ready to go. For a playful edge some male models appear here and there in the pictures lying on the furry carpet next to Sam and Flo with a guitar in one of the boys' hands. In another picture, Sam sits next to a guy on a staircase inside the building looking as if she was suddenly taken aback by someone from the photographer's side.
Though the idea quite much comes to our liking, we have to say that the pictures are a little gloomy. We sometimes end up overlooking the same picture to figure out what it shows, which is of course not a good thing from the point of view of marketing. Anyway, we think the Pepe Jeans fall 2015 campaign is a success, because we cannot but resist marveling at the super simple, easy numbers that it highlights, having the strong desire to quickly obtain some of them.

It's still hot in Canberra and there are a great number of butterflies about, although apart from the occasional flutter-by their abundance is not obvious. Those in the forest are keeping low and in shade for much of the day, like this Common Brown Heteronympha merope which, typical of its species, was sitting hidden on the forest floor litter with its wings closed, only flying when disturbed by my footfall close by. Then about a dozen others erupted from the litter. They should have stayed where they were as I wasn't about to trample them and I certainly had not seen them.
Many other Common Browns were hanging from the drooping branches and leaves of the trees, or on the trunks, wherever there was shade from the intense sunshine. This one has a very abraded wing and the pattern of the other upper forewing can be partially seen, enough to recognise it as a female by the large blotchy markings.
In amongst the Common Browns were several Marbled Xenicas Geitoneura klugii which closed their wings as soon as they landed on the litter and simply disappeared from my vision. I clould only grab this one shot through the grases as one landed and immediately closed its wings.
Then in a sunny open glade where there was a patch of heath and low-growing herbs I saw a few of these delicate little Blotched Dusky-blues Candalides acasta. The blotch refers to the large smudged dark grey spot on the edge of the hindwing.
This was as wide as this butterfly held its wings open. A pity as the soft blue on the upper wings has an elegant tone.
I watched a group of Stencilled Hairstreaks Jalmanus ictinus chasing one another and laying eggs on a wattle tree, but they were to high to photograph. However, I did take some shots of this Imperial Hairstreak J. evagoras as it perched on smaller wattle bush.
The back edge of this species' hind wing is coloured and curled in a curious way. And the butterfly was moving each hindwing slowly and asynchronously as if to imitate another animal, or to give the impression that its head was at that end if any potential predator was nearby. When seen from above, the modified wings have a three-dimensional appearance, adding further to the impression of perhaps a head on an otherwise slim body.
The wavy edge to the hind wings seen from below.
Occasionally, the butterfly opened its wings to reveal a shimmering coat of scales. And when it flew, as when I first saw it and probably the only reason I spotted it, it was a blue light shining in the shade of the forest.

The government of President Islam Karimov showed no respect for nominal constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech and of the press in 2011, and further restricted the internet and social media to prevent the spread of news about the Arab Spring uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa. Convictions for libel and defamation can result in hefty fines and jail time, and public insult of the president is punishable by up to five years in prison. Such charges were routinely used by the government to punish and attempt to silence critical journalists as well as human rights activists and government opponents. In April 2011, Voice of America stringer Abdumalik Boboyev—who had been convicted and fined in 2010 for "libel and insulting the Uzbek people"—was denied an exit visa to travel to Germany to attend a program at the Hamburg Foundation for the Politically Persecuted. The Uzbek regime's efforts to silence the media reached outside the country when one of Karimov's daughters, Lola Tillyaeva-Karimova, filed a libel suit against a French news website, Rue89, that published an article calling her the daughter of a dictator in 2010. The case was dismissed by a French court in July 2011.
In August 2011, the government approved the creation of a "committee of experts on information and mass communication," comprising government employees, that would monitor the media for news that was "destructive and negative," that could weaken "national cultural traditions," or that advocated the "violent overthrow" of the government. The committee would concentrate its efforts on new media and "satellite systems."
Virtually all local media are linked either directly or indirectly to the state, and the National Security Service actively manipulates reports to present a carefully constructed image of the country, with occasional forays into limited criticism of local corruption. Widespread self-censorship is a serious problem, and journalists fear reprisal in the form of harassment, loss of employment, or jail time. In 2011, state-controlled media provided belated and minimal coverage of major international events such as the Arab Spring and the killing of Osama bin Laden. The Uzbek media were also silent about the lavish lifestyles and real estate holdings of Karimov's daughters. Two journalists from the state-controlled Yoshlar TV, Saodat Omonova and Malokhat Eshonkulova, were fired from their jobs in 2010 for protesting against corruption and censorship at the station. They began a hunger strike on June 27, 2011, Uzbekistan's national Media Day, to protest their dismissal and management practices including prescreening of reports, suppression of criticism of officials, and reliance on state news services. They were pressured to call off their protest, and remained unemployed at year's end.
In a major blow to press freedom in 2011, authorities in November ordered the closure of the decade-old Zerkalo XXI, one of the few independent newspapers left in the country, on charges of violating the law on advertising and other business-related offenses. Media observers said the closure was likely motivated by the paper's publication of articles that challenged the government.
Because there are only a few independent journalists remaining in Uzbekistan, harassment of reporters is rare. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, five journalists remained behind bars for political reasons as of December 1, 2011. One of them, Muhammad Bekjanov, a former editor of the opposition newspaper Erk who had been imprisoned since 1999, faced an additional five years in prison at year's end; his original sentence was set to expire in January 2012. Following intervention by foreign democratic governments, journalist Jamshid Karimov, the president's nephew, was released from psychiatric incarceration in November 2011; he had been held since 2006 for contributing to banned internet publications. His whereabouts were unknown at year's end. In one case of harassment in 2011, independent journalist Elena Bondar was briefly detained at Tashkent airport in August as she returned from an Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) journalism training course in Kyrgyzstan. Authorities seized digital media devices that she was carrying, on the basis that they were undeclared goods. Bondar was cleared of possessing illegal content, and the confiscated materials were returned to her in September, but the incident was seen as a warning against engaging in such trainings and independent journalism in general.
While an estimated 1,100 media outlets operate in Uzbekistan, the government controls most national dailies and four television stations, as well as the publishing houses and printing presses that handle the majority of the country's print media. However, there are a number of privately owned regional and local television and radio stations, and a few private printing presses produce independent publications that avoid politically sensitive topics and have a very limited circulation. The government does not permit foreign outlets such as the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), or Voice of America to broadcast from within Uzbekistan. According to the independent online publication Fergananews.com, the foreign press corps has shrunk from 88 journalists before the 2005 Andijon massacre—in which government troops fired on demonstrators, reportedly killing hundreds and straining Uzbekistan's relations with democratic countries—to 33 or less today. Even some of those who were accredited by the government have left the country.
Approximately 30 percent of the population used the internet in 2011, but many users access the medium in institutional and public settings, where state controls and surveillance hamper their ability to obtain independent perspectives on the events in the country. Users report that the government routinely blocks the websites of RFE/RL, the BBC's Uzbek service, EurasiaNet, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and various Uzbek- and Russian-language human rights, opposition, and religious sites. Just prior to the celebrations marking Uzbekistan's 20th independence anniversary in August, several major websites were also temporarily blocked, including the New York Times, the Financial Times, Reuters, Bloomberg, and several Russian-based news sites, as well as the search engine Google and Reporters Without Borders. There has been a surge in membership on Facebook and other social-networking sites in recent years. While social-media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LiveJournal could be reached during 2011, there were reports that some groups and accounts within those sites were blocked.

Patent protection dates back as early as 500 BC because it was understood early on that others should not profit from another's inventions or ideas. US Federal law protects patent holders from infringement by individuals and corporations on designs and ideas that are registered with the United States Patent Office. This protection ensures fairness and competition within the marketplace and helps protect the inventor's time, design, development costs, and solutions from someone simply stealing it. Dr. Michael Ahmadshahi has been an Irvine patent infringement lawyer for over 15 years in Irvine and Los Angeles, and personally holds of 3 patents of his own. We help inventors and companies file for patents, and litigate or defend against patent infringement lawsuits.
Expertise in Mechanics, Software, Hardware, Electronics and Optics
Before becoming a patent infringement lawyer in Irvine, CA, Dr. Ahmadshahi was a staff scientist with C.E. Niehoff & Co. and a Research Engineer with UC San Diego. Additionally, he has authored, or co-authored 16 articles in peer reviewed publications. You can read Michael Ahmadshahi's biography here, but you should be confident that your case is in knowledgeable & experienced hands. We have protected countless individuals and companies pursue or defend against patent infringement actions and we can help you too. It's critical that you take action now and call Michael today at (949) 260-4997 to schedule a consultation.
Title 35 U.S. Code Section § 271 – Patent Infringement
Typically in a valid patent infringement case, our first course of action is a cease & desist letter to put the infringing party on notice to halt activities that infringe upon your patent. This demands stopping production, advertising, sales and distribution of the product(s) in question. At that point, we can then explore potential damages that the infringing party has caused. United States Patent Code Title 25, Section 271 A, B and C protects a patent holder from infringement from another person or company:
"(a) Except as otherwise provided in this title, whoever without authority makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells any patented invention, within the United States or imports into the United States any patented invention during the term of the patent therefor, infringes the patent.
(b) Whoever actively induces infringement of a patent shall be liable as an infringer.
(c) Whoever offers to sell or sells within the United States or imports into the United States a component of a patented machine, manufacture, combination or composition, or a material or apparatus for use in practicing a patented process, constituting a material part of the invention, knowing the same to be especially made or especially adapted for use in an infringement of such patent, and not a staple article or commodity of commerce suitable for substantial noninfringing use, shall be liable as a contributory infringer."
Protect Your Patent Rights Now
We have helped clients pursue or defend against blatant infringement, as well as cases where infringement is less recognizable or when licensing or royalties complicate the matter. We have also helped numerous people with the patent application process, which can be time consuming and bureaucratic. Our Irvine patent infringement attorneys have the experience to help you, anticipate problems and defenses, and pursue alternative forms of action. In addition to patent infringement, we also represent businesses on copyright & trademark infringement and trade secrets infringement.

"In Corporate Governance Advisor: Corporate Monitors - How to Avoid One If Possible and How to Deal With One If You Must"
General Folder
November/December 2017 - The article, "Corporate Monitors: How to Avoid One If Possible and How to Deal With One If You Must," by John Wood was published in Corporate Governance Advisor.
Over the past 15 years, independent compliance monitors have become increasingly common in Department of Justice (DOJ) resolutions of enforcement matters with corporations. Now, other federal agencies, state attorneys general, and even foreign government enforcement agencies are beginning to require monitors as well. This trend serves only to increase the need for corporate executives to understand the corporate monitor phenomenon and how imposition of a monitor could affect their companies.

Weekend Cooking: Buttery, Buttery Refried BeansJuly 19, 2015
Brief, unexpected Weekend Cooking post ahoy! Weekend Cooking is a weekly feature hosted by Beth Fish Reads.
As a Latina (more specifically, a Jewban from South Florida), I've got a long, storied history with beans. Ask me what I miss most about living near Miami, and I will invariably wax poetic about Pollo Tropical's pulled pork (sadly out of reach now, due to newfound vegetarianism), black beans and rice, and plantains. I will probably follow up with an ode to Publix subs and the ability to wear shorts year-round.
Anyway, I'm getting off-topic. Today, my boyfriend and I were inspired to make a veritable butt-load of beans. We prepared the oft-missed Cuban black beans, and they're still simmering away on the stove. However, the refried beans are ready, and... well. They're freaking delicious.
They're also absolutely stuffed to the gills with butter. (Those two things are possibly related.) The recipe calls for a lot of fat—oil, butter or lard—so if that isn't your thing, steer clear. But, if so... who are you?
17 comments
I definitely love refried beans, but have never attempted making them myself! I usually just buy some organic ones in a can, and *like* those, so can only imagine how good they are homemade *bookmarks recipe.* This weekend the hubs and I stayed in a cooked all our meals, which hardly ever happens - fish tacos on Friday, homemade pizzas on Saturday, and steak and veggies on the grill today! It's so nice to eat homemade!ReplyDelete
- HeatherJuly 19, 2015 at 6:47 PM
I've never had refried beans, but you had me at butter. Do you just eat them on their own, or are they a good side with something in particular?ReplyDelete
- BethFishReadsJuly 20, 2015 at 4:05 AM
YUMMMMM. Now you're making me miss Arizona -- I may do up a batch. I cook the beans in in the pressure cooker, which speeds up things a bit.ReplyDelete
I was just talking with Graham this week about how I wanted to try making homemade refried beans! Now I have a wonderful looking recipe to try, thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
- JoAnn @ Lakeside MusingJuly 20, 2015 at 7:14 AM
Yum... refried beans... one of the many things I love about south Florida!ReplyDelete
Yummy!!! I've never tried making them on my own. I will now have to remedy that mistake.ReplyDelete
- Reading WenchJuly 20, 2015 at 1:00 PM
OMG!!! Now I know why you're so awesome! ;) I'm part Cuban. My Abuelo's family moved to Tampa in the early 1900's from Cuba, but we still had family there until the 70's. Though I grew up moving all over the world, I'll always be a Florida girl at heart, and oh how I miss Publix! I'm also vegetarian, but every once in awhile I cheat and make picadillo :)ReplyDelete
The canned ones do just fine, but these... oh MY.ReplyDelete
Whoa, that sounds like an awesome weekend of cooking! We also made homemade pizza on Saturday. :D We fell into a serious rut of takeout right before our vacation, so we're trying to get back to the kitchen with a vengeance.
I'd say they're usually served on the side with Mexican dishes—tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, etc. But I won't tell anyone if you decide to just eat a bowl of 'em on their own. ;)ReplyDelete
Oh, great idea! I really need to invest in one of those.ReplyDelete
You're welcome! I hope you get around to it. :)ReplyDelete
Taco EVERYDAY!ReplyDelete
Right??? I miss it so, but I don't miss the humidity. I get enough of that (though not nearly as bad) here in CT!ReplyDelete
It was such a fun project with a DELICIOUS payoff.ReplyDelete
Yay! Part-Cuban hermanas. :) It's terrible, but I'm not actually sure if I still have family there... my grandmother came over to Miami when she was 19.ReplyDelete
YES. I'm so glad someone else understands how wonderful Publix is. My boyfriend really doesn't get it at all, and he's been there when we've visited my family. He clearly has a few screws loose.
Ugh, now I want yucca and carnitas. :(
- Reading WenchJuly 20, 2015 at 1:24 PM
Guava pastries will be the death of me someday. I will be found next to a stack of books and an open can of Iron Beer with pastry flakes and guava paste with cream cheese smeared all over my face. I'm looking forward to it. You might be able to order yucca from cubanfoodmarket.com. They saved my life when I was overseas.ReplyDelete
Pastelitos de guayaba! Ahhh, lady, you're killin' me. We're both going to die like that.ReplyDelete

VTT began marine technology research in 1975. Theoretical and computational methods and research infrastructure development are keeping it at the forefront of marine technology.
In the early 1970s, a model test facility, complete with a towing tank and a manoeuvring basin, were built at the Otaniemi campus in Espoo. VTT's Ship Laboratory used its model test facilities to perform applied research in hydrodynamics and contract research for shipyards and design offices. Helsinki University of Technology used the model test facility for basic research and education.

Cruise Ship Excursions: Potential Dangers caused by Inadequate Security
Posted by Kenneth in Personal Injury on Aug 29, 2015
A cruise vacation can be a very pleasurable travel experience. On a cruise ship, passengers are provided with luxurious accommodations and amenities while they are transported from one destination to the next. While on board, they can experience the comfort of having access to spacious rooms, buffet restaurants, spas, salons, cinemas and other entertainment facilities, as well as swimming pools and water parks. After the ship docks, passengers can then look forward to sight-seeing and immersing themselves in exotic locales through a variety of activities. Many cruise lines offer on-shore excursion itineraries that include scuba diving, snorkeling, and sailing, as well as hiking, ATV riding, and going on cultural or ecological tours.
While these activities are definitely a cause for excitement, it would be wrong to ignore the risks involved in such excursions. As with anything in life, these excursion activities come with potential dangers that passengers should be aware of. Following proper protocols, cruise lines can ensure that these dangers are mitigated and prevented. However, cases of reckless or negligent behavior can definitely put the safety of passengers on the line. One of the many concerning risks involved in on-shore excursions are accidents caused by inadequate security.
According to the website of the Vucci Law Group cruise ship attorneys, cruise lines that fail to provide passengers with proper security measures put their patrons at risk of stolen items, physical assault, sexual assault, and other cases of violence. Considering these grim outcomes, it's extremely important that cruise lines have adequate protocols and enough staff members to keep passengers safe as they explore new destinations.
Vacations are a time for relaxation and enjoyment. The idea that a cruise ship vacation can be eclipsed by preventable accidents is very disturbing. As such, it's crucial that passengers remember that cruise lines are responsible for creating a safe environment where they can get the most out of the experience they were hoping for. Any accident caused by inadequate security during cruise ship excursions should be properly reported by victim. With legal counsel, victims may be able to pursue compensation for the injury or damage caused by the incident.

This poem addresses a theme which was popular in Herbert's time – the transience of earthly pleasures – but Herbert draws a different conclusion than, for example, his contemporary poet-priest Robert Herrick ("Gather ye rosebuds while ye may"). Instead, Herbert accepts that in this world good things will not last, and concludes that the only enduring satisfaction comes from moral righteousness. From elegiac beginnings, the poem ends on a strong note of affirmation.
At first sight, the language of the poem seems simple, reinforced by the use of short everyday words and repetition – "sweet", "die". But, as ever, Herbert is writing on more than one level. The first three verses appeal to the senses – the brightness and coolness of the day, the scent and colour of the rose, the music with which the poet celebrates spring. Both of the first two verses evoke tearfulness. In the final verse the images are of wood and coal and there is no sensual overtone. The tone is robust, almost triumphant.
Yet this is not a complete reversal of the message of the earlier stanzas. Days and springs return, roses blossom again. In this sense there is an echo of Ecclesiastes: "The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose". Herbert, then, is contrasting not so much mortality and eternity as different forms of survival: endless repetition against progression to a different state.
The imagery in the final verse is at one level technical (this was the age in which man was discovering the nature of the physical world, when the Royal Society was founded). But the references to flammable coal and durable seasoned wood also evoke the flames of the Last Judgement, vividly depicted in the 15th Century mural still to be seen in St Thomas's Church in Salisbury.

The comedy world has been hosting roasts since the New York Friars' Club started them in the 1920s. A roast is an event where a person, the guest of honor, sits back as comedians insult them, tell stories about them, and sometimes praise them. In any case, it's usually embarrassing for the "roasted" party, but pretty hilarious for the audience.
Comedy Central is famous for its roasts, and has roasted such stars as Hugh Hefner, Gene Simmons, Chevy Chase, Pamela Anderson, and William Shatner, to name a few. College Humor decided to do its own sort of roast by roasting Facebook.
Created as a cartoon, there are actually some pretty big-named comedians voicing the characters. Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller plays Google, Gilbert Gottfried voices Twitter, and Lisa Lampanelli is the voice of Foursquare. The roast turns out to be more of a roast on MySpace, as the three comedians relentlessly bash the social network.
If you like social networking jokes, you'll most likely find this video funny as it makes fun of not only Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and Foursquare, but also JDate, Friendster, and Reddit. After MySpace takes a few hits, it gets up to roast Facebook and ultimately fails. Reddit points out that MySpace uses Facebook Connect now, which seems like a pretty sore subject for MySpace.
Gilbert Gottfried also tells a pretty funny, and incredibly raunchy joke about MySpace that we can't put into words here, so make sure to watch the video below for yourself. Keep in mind this video is NSFW so put those headphones on.

Writing in a gratitude journal on a regular basis can help you lower stress, gain new perspectives and helps you focus on what really matters.

In occurs to me that there is blog after blog and so many magazines dedicated to women's fashion. It makes sense; women tend to care more about fashion than men do on average. However, we've seen a huge change in mentality as online shopping has become easier and more available...men care about what they wear! (Well...some men)
In their book, By Invitation Only, the founders of Gilt found that men, especially young professionals, are some of their largest customers and are eager to purchase the latest trends in menswear. According to the Gilt ladies, the reason we think men aren't interested is because they tend to not like to go shopping in actual stores. It's not a social ritual or "fun gal pal time" like it is for us ladies. Again...not for all men. I happen to know a lot of straight men who really enjoy going shopping (including the handsome man below).
However, with online shopping becoming more and more common, men are able to shop from the comfort of their laptops quickly and efficiently. Even mailable "style boxes" for men (Such as FiveFourClothing) are becoming more and more popular. This is when the company picks out garments to send to the guy each month based on their style.
In honor of this idea that men do care about fashion; yet are limited by sources of inspiration (such as magazines, blogs, etc. & they refuse to get on Pinterest), I've decided to start a new series called "Man Swag Monday". In these posts I will share fashion inspiration from some of my male friends who are fashion savvy.
So the question really becomes...Do men really care about fashion? What do you think? Does your man? Or if you're a male reader...do you? Why?
Where to Buy these Items:
Coat: Banana Republic // Chambray Top: H&M // Cardigan: H&M
Tie: The Tie Bar // Pants: American Eagle // Shoes: DSW
Tie: The Tie Bar // Pants: American Eagle // Shoes: DSW

Like with the queen, here is a lesson that will teach you "how to draw a king for kids", step by step. There is many ways you can draw a king, but when you are a novice artist, the possibilities are sort of limited. This is because the complexity to drawing a king can be very hard or frustrating. The clothing of a King can be a bit challenging especially of you are making the type that has high royalty clothing with lots of jewels and accessories. I really wanted to make my king very simple to follow because I know how important it is to draw a king and queen as a pair. I do think that you will enjoy drawing a king for kids, because he is as cute as can be for an older man. That's it, that is all I have to say for this tutorial description. Meet me back here tomorrow because I have some surprises that I think a majority of you folks will love. Peace out people and enjoy!

If the property distribution phase of your divorce is coming up, you may have concerns as to whether your spouse has appropriately listed all the marital assets.
TSPs in divorce
Federal employees living in Maryland may have some special concerns during divorce proceedings. Many federal employees have what is known as a Thrift Savings Plan, which can be counted by the courts as a marital asset. If it is considered a marital asset, one's spouse may be entitled to a portion of the funds as part of the divorce settlement.
Divorce often hits women harder than men
Although going through a divorce is difficult for many Maryland couples, the ending of a marriage often hits women harder than men. This is due to the fact that, overall, women earn less than their male counterparts. Further, traditional gender roles, such as women staying in the home to provide child care, often put them at an economic disadvantage when they get divorced.
Prenuptial agreements may be a good idea for entrepreneurs
Maryland entrepreneurs who plan to get married may want to sign prenuptial agreements so that they can protect their businesses in the case that they later get divorced. Without prenuptial agreements, their former spouses may end up holding greater legal interests in their businesses than the entrepreneurs intended.
Business valuation in a divorce
When a Maryland couple gets a divorce, if one or both owns a business or if the two are co-owners, it may be necessary to get a valuation for the business. A skilled valuation analyst can do this.
Considering the 401(k) plan in a divorce
Maryland spouses who are contemplating a divorce might be surprised to find out that it is possible to receive retirement benefits from their spouse's 401(k). While it is not normally legal for the funds of a 401(k) to be distributed to anyone other than the account holder, there is an exception that allows divorced spouses to receive retirement pay from their ex-spouses.
Divorce and finances
Finances can be a significant concern when Maryland couples are ending their marriage. However, there are certain steps people can take to get ready.
Aisha Tyler agrees to pay ex-husband $2 million
Maryland residents who watch the show "The Talk" may be interested to learn that, on May 19, co-host Aisha Tyler agreed to pay her ex-husband $2 million. Tyler said that she her former husband had agreed to the terms of the divorce settlement and that she had not been ordered by the judge to pay spousal support.
Dealing with child custody following the death of a parent
The death of a Maryland custodial parent can be a difficult time for those involved. However, it can also be difficult to determine who the child will live with. Depending on the situation, a child may go to live with the noncustodial parent, a family member or a third party. When there is no one suitable, these children could become wards of the state.
What to do with a family business in a divorce
Couples in Maryland who are business owners and who get a divorce might also need to decide what they will do with the business. Since the assets of both people may be largely tied up in the business, neither may be able to buy the other out. While a prenup or a buy-sell agreement might address the issue effectively, many couples do not want to discuss divorce when they are wedding planning. Therefore, they may be left negotiating the fate of the business as part of the divorce.

Reviewed by Susan Stephenson, www.thebookchook.com
Are you looking for apps that will encourage kids to read, and to enjoy reading? Here are two from world-famous author and illustrator, Lynley Dodd: Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy and Scarface Claw. I have previously reviewed Hairy Maclary, Scattercat.
From the developers:
• Personalize each book with 'this book belongs to ...' page.
• Swipe-to-Read™ the words to hear and playback the story at your own pace.
• Touch-to-Hear™ individual words spoken.
• Touch-to-Spell™ to hear the letters that spell each and every word.
• Auto Play to enjoy the narration.
• Use the My Narration function to read and record the story yourself and customize your book.
• Paint mode can be used on each story page!
• Paint has a paint palette, brush width, move and zoom, and undo abilities!
• Tap the paint palette icon and tap a color to change the paint color!
• Tap the brush palette icon and change the slider to change the brush size!
• Tap the Help menu to learn how to use a KIWABook
What I liked:
Both these story apps have the balance between Story and special effects just right. Story should always be paramount, something I wish more movie directors could learn! Lynley Dodd's stories have been beguiling generations of children for many years, so I love that developers, Kiwa Digital, have come up with another format to continue the tradition. Yes, children can touch Scarface and hear him miaow, but the bells and whistles are at a minimum, allowing the story itself to shine. Dodd's illustrations are just as lively and lovely in an electronic version! Kiwa have taken advantage of the interactivity that's possible in a digital tool: while kids listen to the story read aloud, the print follows the narrator's voice, lighting up each word as it's read. I believe this develops phonemic awareness, helping kids see the sound to symbol correspondence.
I enjoyed the narrator voices for both stories. David Tennant narrates Hairy Maclary and Kyle Prior narrates Scarface Claw. The slight Scot's burr added to the charm for me. Kids will love the extra activities too. They can colour in pages from the books and share them, record themselves reading aloud, and touch one part of an illustration to get a response. Parents will be thrilled that Hairy Maclary also has a sign language feature, and also with the fact that there are so many more books by Dodd available. Like all apps, children will get the most from these by sharing them with an adult. They would be great to load on a phone/iPad for those inevitable queue moments, and make excellent companions to their print counterparts.
Where to get them?

Ancient Princess Battled Breast Cancer With CannabisKayla WilliamsOctober 30, 2014
Eleven years ago in the Altai Mountains of Russia, scientists unearthed remains dating back some 2,500 years: a Siberian Princess, beset with breast cancer, resting alongside a jar of cannabis.
Through archaeology study, scientists have determined that the princess (nicknamed the 'Ice Princess') was of high class, decorated in the most complicated and beautiful tattoos that were distinct from other remains from that time period and serve as evidence of her importance in the eyes of her tribe. She was terminally ill and welcomed on camp in the Ukok Plateau during winter.
Researchers conjecture that the princess consumed cannabis habitually to cope with her illness, potentially explaining her reverence as a "chosen being" who could "communicate" with the gods. After all, altered states of consciousness have long been connected to spirituality. Weakened by disease and strong intoxication, the kinsmen cared for the frail princess, treating her as a shaman until her final breath.
This month we honor women and men around the world who are battling breast cancer. We hope this true and novel story gives you comfort that you are not alone, that belief in a plant that has spanned the ages. Here's to having the courage to speak out in support of cannabis education, as well as the strength to never give up.

If you go ...
What: SOAR's Wall of Honor ceremony
When: 12:30 p.m. Friday
Where: St. James Hotel's Hiawatha Room
Cost: $15 per person
Red Wing High School's newest inductees into the Wall of Honor are an accomplished Mayo Clinic doctor and a recently retired school administrator.
School leaders will present Joel Felmlee and Don Featherstone with the recognition Friday at the St. James Hotel.
"The committee had no trouble selecting these two individuals as the 2009 Wall of Honor inductees," said Chad Bray, adviser for the Success Opportunity Achievement Recognition program, which bestows the Wall of Honor distinction.
Felmlee, a professor and consultant at Mayo's radiology, physiology and biomedical engineering departments, is a 1976 Red Wing Central High School graduate.
After completing undergraduate work at St. Mary's College in Winona, Felmlee went on to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he received his master's degree in medical physics in 1983. He received his doctorate in biophysical sciences and biomedical imaging at the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine in 1992.
Felmlee has worked in Mayo's radiology department and as a research assistant at Mayo's graduate school. He has since headed Mayo's diagnostic radiology medical physics residency program and served as a consultant to the World Health Organization.
He began teaching at Mayo's College of Medicine in 1991 as an assistant professor. He was named a full professor of radiologic physics in 2004.
Felmlee has generated 14 patents, has been published more than 100 times and has received numerous awards for his work, including Mayo's biomedical engineering teacher of the year in 2000.
"The number of patents and published articles Mr. Felmlee has along with being Teacher of the Year at Mayo Clinic made selecting him an easy decision for the committee," Bray said.
Featherstone, 1971 Red Wing Central High School graduate, is a familiar face to many students and alumni.
He retired following the 2008-09 school year as the high school's assistant principal.
Featherstone came to the district in 1975 as a physical education teacher and aquatics director. The 195 Westmar (Iowa) College graduate became the high school's first competitive girls swimming and diving coach in 1978.
Featherstone, who received his master's in education at St. Mary's and received his administration license from the Mankato State University, served as Red Wing School District athletic director from 2001 to 2008.
"In addition to his coaching record and awards won throughout his career, the impact Mr. Featherstone has made on the entire school district made him an obvious choice for our committee," Bray said.
Featherstone received numerous awards as swimming and diving coach in a career that saw 672 wins and 224 losses. Between boys and girls swimming and diving, he was named Section 1 coach of the year seven times in the 1990s.
In 2000, Featherstone was named Minnesota State High School League Region 1AA coach of the year. He received numerous coach of the year honors in 1999 and 2000 for his work on boys and girls swimming teams.
