The Vancouver Canucks want to upgrade the top of their lineup this offseason, general manager Jim Benning said Monday, after they focused on the bottom end in free agency last year.
Vancouver signed depth forwards Jay Beagle, Antoine Roussel and Tim Schaller on July 1, 2018, the first day of free agency, citing the need to add character and toughness to support a lineup transitioning toward skill and youth.
The Canucks went 35-36-11 this season, finishing nine points behind the Colorado Avalanche for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference. It was the fourth straight season they missed the playoffs.
"Going forward now, if we are going to add through free agency, we want to try to add top-four defensemen or top-six forwards, so I think our needs in that way have changed," Benning said. "I haven't been shy about stating that we would like to improve our defense. There are different avenues to try to do that, so we're looking at all those avenues."
Benning isn't sure if that will include finding a replacement for top defenseman Alexander Edler, who can become an unrestricted free agent July 1. Edler, who has played all of his 814 NHL games over 13 seasons with the Canucks, reiterated after the season that his preference is to remain in Vancouver, but he remains unsigned.

Abstract: Pre-installation Stability analyses of pipelines are required to prevent lateral and upheaval buckling in service. In this study, the hydrodynamic forces associated with an offshore pipeline is analyzed, thereby determining limiting steel wall-thickness and submerged weight necessary to prevent collapse and propagation buckling, contain pressure and ensure on-bottom stability. Relevant design equations, Codes and Procedures were integrated to create a comprehensive platform for analyzing lift, drag and inertia forces acting on submerged pipelines. Hence, a user friendly template with multiple design settings has been developed with MathCAD® for on-bottom stability analyses. The analysis tool is based on the absolute lateral stability method in DNV RP F109. A case study of Φ762 mm x 34 km pipeline to be installed Offshore Escravos, Gulf of Guinea is simulated and analyzed using the design tool developed. Pipeline behavior under different environmental and pipeline conditions such as water depth, wave height, steel and concrete thickness were investigated. The results showed that concrete and steel wall thicknesses are the most critical parameters in the on-bottom stability of offshore pipelines. With a determined optimal wall thickness of 20.6mm, concrete thicknesses of 78.796 mm, 61.386 mm, 53.043 mm and 42.58 mm corresponding to 5 m, 10 m, 15 m and 20 m water depths, respectively were obtained. Also, the results showed that for pipes OD > Φ32.5 in (Φ825.5 mm) alternative stability methods may be required as the necessary concrete thickness may exceed allowable limits.

1. Introduction
All submerged offshore pipelines and sections of onshore pipelines in swamps, floodable areas, high water table areas, river crossings etc., should be stable under the action of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces [1]. The hydrodynamic forces on the pipeline on the seabed are the combined action of wave and current. It is important to correctly predict these forces imposed on the pipeline since they have a direct impact on the safety and economy of any pipeline project [2].
Ensuring the on bottom stability of an offshore pipeline on the seabed is critical to that pipeline attaining and exceeding its design life. On-bottom stability of pipelines is governed by the fundamental balance between loads and resistances. In offshore pipelines, these loads are hydrodynamic loads induced by waves and currents. This load-resistance relationship has formed the basis for various design codes governing the stability of submarine pipelines such as the API RP 1111 [3], DNV RP E305 [4], DNV RP F109 [5], and DNV OS F101 [6].
Ensuring the stability of offshore pipelines involves maintaining lateral stability (preventing the pipeline from sliding sideways) and vertical stability (the pipeline being stable on the seabed or buried). Predicting on-bottom pipeline stability is complex requiring interdisciplinary integration including; soil constitutive modeling, seabed liquefaction, scour and sediment transport, structural mechanics and prediction of ocean waves and hydrodynamic loads. Considering this complexity, most pipelines are designed using very simplified models [7].
The most common practice to achieve on bottom stability onshore is by application of sufficient concrete coating to counteract buoyancy forces as it would not be economical to increase steel wall thickness to a level that sufficiently weighs down the pipeline. However in offshore pipelines, there are practical limits to which concrete coating can be applied as heavy pipelines imply high installation stresses on the lay vessel and on the pipe itself. In the 1970s, the Coulomb theory of soil friction was used to gauge soil resistance to the displacement of submarine pipelines under hydrodynamic loads such as waves and ocean currents [8]. This model adopts a load-resistance relationship that ensures the pipe does not displace horizontally i.e. hydrodynamic loading must not exceed pipe and soil resistance. The DNV-RP-F109 [5] which reflects state-of-the-art industry practice and latest research, also utilizes the Load and Resistance Factors Design Format (LRFD). This method places an upper (allowable) limit on pipe displacement due to hydrodynamic loads, with target safety levels given in the DNV-OS-F101 [6].
The DNV-OS-F101 [6] presents a force balance method where a subsea pipeline has been considered stable if it has got sufficient submerged weight so that the lateral soil resistance is sufficiently high to restrain the pipeline from deflecting sideways. The main stabilizing method has traditionally been to apply sufficient amount of concrete weight coating (CWC). The traditional design approach for subsea pipelines which is expressed in the early design codes, such as "Rules for Submarine Pipeline Systems" [9], was to not to allow for any horizontal movement when a pipe is exposed to the environmental conditions associated with an extreme return period, i.e., a 100 year Return Period. Even if this method has been widely replaced by the empirical or calibrated methods, the force balance method is still in common use in cases where a pipeline is exposed to pure current [10].
The design method presented in the DNV-RP-E305 [4] relates to a pipeline resting on the seabed throughout its lifetime, or prior to some other form of stabilization (e.g. trenching, burial, self-burial). The stability of the pipeline is then directly related to the submerged weight of the pipeline, the environmental forces and the resistance developed by the seabed soil. Consequently, the aim of stability design is to verify that the submerged weight of the pipeline is sufficient to meet the required stability criteria. Three different analysis methods were used in this code. The Dynamic Stability Analysis method and two simplified or calibrated methods that do not require full dynamic FE analysis, namely, the Simplified and General Stability Analysis methods. The Dynamic Stability Design Method is based on a time-domain solution of the pipeline stability and incorporates three-dimensional effects, surface wave spectra and nonlinear soil resistance.
The Generalized method comprises a set of design response curves which have been developed based on a large number of dynamic FE simulations. The background for the methodology is based on the assumption that the pipeline lateral displacement is to a large extent a function of a relative small number of non-dimensional parameters. The curves for use in sandy soils are for net pipe movements of up to 40 pipe diameters in DNV Zone 1 (more than 500 m away from a platform) or 0 m in DNV Zone 2 (less than 500 m from a platform). No displacement is allowed in clays. The curves are based on pipe roughness and sea state spectrum (JONSWAP), which helps determine the wave-induced velocity.
DNV recommends the Simplified Stability Design Method based on a link between the traditional stability design procedure and the generalized stability analysis. The results from the two distinct methods are made consistent with each other through the use of two calibration factors: one based on the soil conditions, and one based on the Keulegan-Carpenter number and ratio of wave to current velocity. The calibration factors ensure that the results of the simplified analysis tie in with the generalized analysis [11].
A calibration factor is multiplied by the submerged weight determined from the traditional type design to arrive at the new design submerged weight. The factor varies from 1.0 to 1.6. The calibration gives pipe weights that produce a conservative envelope to the generalized procedure. For this method, simplified design is characterized as;
• a hydrodynamic force (Morison type) formulation with force coefficients 0.7, 0.9, and 3.29 for CD, CL, and CM respectively and,
• a simple frictional soil resistance model with coefficients of 0.7 for sand and 0.15 to 1.3 for clays.
The wave induced water particle velocity is taken as the significant bottom velocity. This deviates from traditional designs where the wave induced water velocity is normally taken as that associated with the significant wave or sometimes the maximum wave. This analysis is again based on pipelines designed with an allowable lateral displacement of up to 20 m in sandy soil and 0 m in clayey soil. As a result of extensive research and developments performed in the 1980s in the area of pipeline stability, it was accepted that some movement can be allowed during extreme sea states provided that the lateral displacements were kept within defined limits. This is reflected in the two calibrated methods, the Simplified and the Generalized Methods, which do not require Finite Element analyses. The limitations of this code include:
• The code does not provide guidance on pipe-seabed interaction forces for pipelines on carbonate soils;
• It does not allow for the effect of pipeline embedment on soil resistance and hydrodynamic loading; and
• It does not consider the effects of seabed instability within the response of the pipeline during storm loading [12].
This code has been replaced by the new DNV-RP-F109.
The DNV-RP-F109 was first published in 2007 and updated in 2010, and it has superseded the old DNV-RP-E305. This updated code does allow for some effects of pipeline embedment. However, it does not consider asymmetrical embedment levels, and also does not provide quantitative guidance for carbonate soils. Three stability analysis methods are included in this code. The Absolute Lateral Static Stability method of the DNV-RP-F109 replaces the force balance method of the DNV-OS-F101 [13] and the simplified method of the DNV-RP-E305. It ensures that no pipe motion will occur when the pipeline is exposed to maximum load during sea state. This method appears to be significantly more conservative than the more traditional force balance method. In most situations, some minor pipe movements (< 1m) can safely be allowed which will significantly reduce the required pipeline submerged weight [10]. As this method has evolved, the criteria for defining pipeline stability have loosened and now extend to allowing the pipeline to displace a significant predefined lateral distance under a given load condition. This allowance leads to the next two types of stability analysis methods [15].
The Generalized Lateral Stability Method of the DNV-RP-F109 as opposed to the E305 which presented curves for lateral displacements ranging from 0 to 40 times the external pipe diameter. The new design code, F109 is based on a lateral displacement limited to up to 10 pipe diameters during a given sea state. But it follows similar design principles as the respective method in E305.
The Dynamic Lateral Stability Analysis method is used to predict the displacement of a pipeline during a design storm event. Although the use of dynamic FE analyses to calculate pipeline structural response is the most comprehensive method available to assess pipeline stability, the method has not been widely used by pipeline engineers for several reasons. Firstly, in many locations around the world where stability can readily be mitigated by applying a minimal amount of Concrete Weight Coating (CWC), there has not been a strong motivation for replacing the calibrated (Simplified and Generalized) methods with a more advanced FE-based method. Secondly, the design tools based on this method are not easily available [10]. The limitations of the DNV-RP-F109 are as follows:
• This code focuses on pipeline on-bottom stability with relatively low embedment levels, and is not suited to the assessment of highly embedded pipeline sections,
• This updated code allows for some effects of pipeline embedment; however it does not consider asymmetrical embedment levels, and also does not provide quantitative guidance for carbonate soils,
• It does not consider the effects of the changes in seabed bathymetry (seabed topography) during a storm event on pipeline stability [12].
Three design procedures (Levels 1, 2 and 3) are presented in AGA design guidelines and software [14]. The first procedure (Level 1) is based on traditional stability analysis methods (Morison type hydrodynamic forces and frictional soil resistance). It is intended only as a reference to the type of static analysis which has been done in the past. The most detailed procedure uses finite element time domain simulation software (Level 3). The software provides detailed information regarding pipe movement and stresses during design events. Pipeline safety is then assessed based on these results.
The Level 2 procedure assumes no net movement of the pipe, and is based on a quasi-static calculation which simulates the embedment process modeled in the Level 3 software. The process modeled is that of a pipe embedding itself into the soil during small amplitude displacement oscillations caused by wave loadings. The resulting lateral soil resistance is calculated and compared to the expected hydrodynamic forces to determine pipe stability. Levels 2 and 3 allow a much better representation of the sea state than the "design wave" approach used in Level 1 [16]. The limitations of AGA include:
• The AGA design code does not allow pipeline displacement;
• The AGA hydrodynamic model is not based on field measurement data, it's based solely on laboratory model tests;
• The AGA design code does not assume a design sea spectrum, but allows the user to specify the sea state representation.
Some similarities exist between the AGA method and the DNV-RP-F109's method:
a) Both methods are based on very similar dynamic simulation tools which use a FE pipeline model subject to irregular waves plus steady current loadings.
b) Both methods include history dependent pipe-soil interaction models, where soil resistance and pipe embedment are based on recent pipe movement history.
c) Both are based on the assumption that the duration of the design sea-state is 3 hours;
d) The hydrodynamic force formulations are quite different between the two design tools. The resulting forces produced by both models are very similar though. This demonstrates the accuracy of the hydrodynamic forces estimation.
The analysis methods in DNV-RP-F109 range from an absolute stability where no movement of the pipeline is allowed to a lateral displacement of up to 10 pipe diameters. This range makes it a very versatile and flexible standard which can be used for different types of purposes to which the pipeline is intended. For the on-bottom stability analysis procedures, it can be seen that, the DNV standard, which is based on empirical design parameters, has a very detailed approach compared to all other codes and standards. Besides, DNV standard is regarded as a well-respected code to which the majority of the other standards refer. Therefore, the design procedures and sensitivity analyses in this work are based on the state-of-the-art DNV-RP-F109 standard.

Water depth d (m) = 4, 10, 15, 20 and 5 for case 1, 2, 3, 4 and case 5, respectively; whereas the significant wave height Hs (m) = 2.262, 2.505, 2.804, 2.716 and 2.862 for case 1, 2, 3, 4 and case 5, respectively.
Seabed grain size d50 and the undrained shear strength of soil Su for Cases 1-5 were 0.0625mm and 224.338 kg/m2(2.2in), respectively.
2.2. Design Assumptions for the Template Development
• No marine growth on the pipeline was considered.
• Current and waves acting perpendicular to the pipeline.
• Water Absorption as a percentage of concrete weight was taken as 4%.
• The soil friction factor for the seabed is calculated based on DNV-RP-E305 [4].
• The 10 year significant wave height and peak period plus 1 year current are considered for the installation condition. Pipeline is assumed to be empty for all installation cases.
• The 100 year significant wave height and peak period plus the 10 year current are considered for the operating conditions (Case 5). Minimum internal product density of 860kg.m-3 has been used.
2.3. Procedures / Algorithms
The following procedures leading to algorithm equations (1) – (15) were adhered to in this study:
• The submerged weight of the pipeline in air and with product taking buoyancy into consideration was calculated using the algorithm;
• The corresponding significant water velocity was interpolated from the Pierson Moskovitz curve [17] for corresponding values of wave height Hs and Tn/Tp ratio using the algorithm:
• The zero up crossing period corresponding to the Tn/Tp ratio was obtained using the algorithm:
In obtaining the calibration factor Fw as a function of keulegan carpenter number K and current to wave ratio M, the graphs from DNV-RP-E305 [4] for calibration factor was transformed into a nested if statement below.
For M ≤ 0.2
For 0.2 < M < 0.4
For 0.4 ≤ M ≤ 0.6
For 0.6 < M < 0.8
• The Lift FL, Drag FD and Inertia forces FI acting on the pipeline as a function of phase angle was calculated using Morison's equation. Considering lift and drag trench reduction factors, the algorithm took the form:
For sections of the pipeline that are unburied, the lift and drag trench reduction factors, frl and frx, do not apply.
• Citing Sec. 5.3.6 of DNV-RP-E305, the limiting value of submerged weight, Wsmin, as a function of phase angle, θ, was calculated using:
The required minimum submerged weight to ensure lateral stability, Wsubreq, is given as the maximum limiting value of submerged weight over a wave cycle. This value is obtained through using MathCad command by Mathsoft [18]:
• To find the required area of concrete coating, Ac_req, iteration was carried out in MathCad to find the area of concrete coating that satisfies the condition:
• To find the required concrete coating thickness, tc_req, iteration was carried out in MathCad to find the concrete coating thickness that satisfied the condition:
3. Results and Discussions
The primary objective of pipeline design it to optimize the relationship between pipe diameter, pipe material, pipe wall thickness, appurtenances, economics, constructability and operability of the pipeline. Raw input data (from section 2.1) were inputted into the Mathcad template created in sections 2.2 and 2.3 above.
3.1. Hydrodynamic Forces
Figure 1 shows that for the 5m water depth installation case, the maximum lift, drag and inertia forces for one complete wave cycle were 333.291 N/m, 518.453 N/m and 1495.392 N/m, respectively. Ghebreghiorghis [7] stated that there is a phase difference of 90° between the maximum water particle velocity and acceleration and that the maximum lift and drag forces occur when the inertia force is zero, while the maximum inertia force occurs at minimum lift force. This interrelationship between the hydrodynamic loads is corroborated by the results in Figure 1. The hydrodynamic forces are sine and cosine functions, drag and inertia forces can be positive or negative depending on the direction of motion, that is, left or right. But as observed from Figure 1 the lift force consists of only positive values (does not go below zero), owing to lift force being a one way upwards force.
It can be observed from Figure 2 that the lift, drag and inertia forces acting on the pipeline are generally observed to decrease as the water depth increases. However, there was an observed increase in lift force from the 5m to the 10m water depth region. The reduction in hydrodynamic forces with water depth is due to the increase in wavelength and reduction in water particle kinematics as depth increases. For case 5 (Figure 2) there is a significant increase in inertia force when compared to case 1. This is because as the pipe is with product (oil + water + gas) there is an increased resistance to motion.
3.2. Submerged Weight and Buoyancy
The counteracting buoyancy imposed on a pipeline by the surrounding seawater are functions of the total outer diameter of the pipeline, that is, OD considering diameter of pipe, concrete coating (if any), marine growth (if any). The inherent submerged weight of the pipeline is however a function of the weight of the pipe, the weight of the concrete coating, the weight of the field joint coating and the weight of the internal fluid taking into cognizance the buoyant force.
These factors are evident in Figure 3 as the buoyancy remains almost constant from case 1 through case 5 owing to the negligible variation in coating thicknesses. The weight of the coated pipe in air also reduces slightly from cases 1 through 4 due to concrete coating reduction. The submerged weight however is maximum in case 5 as the pipe is now with product.
3.3. Wave, Current and Stability Parameters
Table 1 shows the response of wave and current parameters (such as the significant water velocity, Us, the zero-up crossing period, Tu, average velocity acting over the pipe OD, significant acceleration perpendicular to the pipeline, As, and the boundary layer reduction factor, (BRF) to changes in water depth. Table 2 shows the behavior of the stability parameters such as the soil friction factor, M, Keulegan Carpenter number, K, Current to wave ratio, M, and the calibration factor, Fw, with respect to changes in water depth.
3.4. Stability Requirements / Analysis
The minimum required submerged weight (maximum required weight over a wave cycle) is as shown in Figure 4, and the required concrete coating size thickness was found to be 336.42 kg/m and 78.796 mm, respectively. Preliminary concrete sizing as specified in the design basis for the case study proved to be sufficient to ensure on-bottom stability for both the installation and operational cases.
Figure 5 showed the stability requirements; minimum required submerged weight of the pipeline, minimum required concrete coating area and the minimum required concrete coating thickness, for the 5 load cases. The 5m water depth scenario was found to be the critical condition as the concrete coating thickness required to ensure stability was maximum at this water depth. When considering the operational condition for the 5m water depth scenario, the required submerged weight was discovered to be higher than what was determined for the installation case. However, as the pipe is with product, the concrete coating thickness required to achieve said submerged was smaller than for the installation case.
The reduction in magnitude of stability requirements as water depth increases as shown in Figure 5 is due to the reduced effect of hydrodynamic forces on the pipeline (section 3.1). Increase in wavelength, reduction in water particle kinematics, and negligible wave velocity at seabed level result in reduced forces on the pipeline meaning a lesser submerged weight is required to negate said forces. The parameter being varied, concrete coating thickness, to achieve the required submerged weight is therefore reduced. This reduction continues deeper offshore till the pipe can be laid bare (without concrete coating) on the sea floor and still remain hydrodynamically stable.

3.5. Parametric Analysis
Pipeline outer diameter is one of the main factors affecting the submerged weight required to ensure stability to a great extent. Pipeline diameter does not directly affect water particle velocities but it affects hydrodynamic forces directly [7].
A parametric analysis was performed using input parameters for case 1, keeping all other parameter constant while varying pipe outer diameter and wall thickness. The buoyancy, lift, drag and inertia forces, as shown in Table 3, were seen to increase as pipeline diameter was increased from OD 20 inches to OD 40 inches. Figure 6 shows the variation in the pipeline inherent submerged weight and the required submerged weight to ensure stability as the pipe outer diameter is increased. The graph shows that for pipeline OD > 32.5 in (825.5 mm), the required concrete coating thickness of 78.796 mm becomes insufficient for lateral stability.
It is recommended that pipelines to be installed offshore be further segmented, that is, readings for environmental data be taken at steps of 2m water depth. This will further optimize sizing done for concrete coating requirements reducing project cost. Corrosion and marine growth rates should be forecasted to evaluate the stability of the pipeline after years of operation. Dynamic simulation of the pipeline on the seabed considering waves and currents should be carried out to further verify its stability. Drag and Inertia coefficients, CD and CM, have been known to vary with relative clearance as shown in experiments performed by Jothi-shankar and Sundar, [19]. Therefore, further work should be done varying coefficient values accordingly and their effects on submerged weight.
From the stability checks it was observed that all five Cases 1 – 5 exhibited ADEQUATE vertical stability and lateral stability.
4. Conclusion
The sections of the pipeline near shore required a greater concrete coating thickness due to increased drag, lift and inertia forces from hydrodynamic activity as seen in Figure 5. The effect of hydrodynamic forces on pipelines on the seabed reduces with water depth as shown in Figure 2. The design template successfully verified the sufficiency of preliminary concrete coating sizing performed on AGA software. The submerged weight of the pipeline (using the specified concrete thicknesses in the design basis) ensures lateral stability by surpassing the required submerged weight by a factor of at least 1.1. Pipeline outer diameter affects the on-bottom stability of submarine pipelines to a great extent. A concrete coating thickness of 82.55 mm proved to be inadequate to ensure on bottom stability for pipelines OD > Φ32.5in (Φ825.5mm) installed at 5m water depth. For pipelines exceeding this nominal diameter, other methods of weighting such as rock dumping and concrete mats be considered over increasing concrete coating thickness. As further concrete coating thickness increase may induce excessive installation stresses.

Big Rewards
Alma's school (Washington Online) does an incentive called the 10% club. Each month that you make progress of 10% in a subject you get a little reward and your name in a drawing for a prize at the end of the semester. Well Alma has been working his butt off and got his name in the drawing A LOT. Today at the Poetry and Art Festival they announced the winner for each class. Alma won for his class. He got $20.00 to Wal-Mart. I'm so proud of him:) We went to Wal-Mart tonight and he spent his money. He got a couple of toys and he bought his own Valentines to pass out at the Homeschool party in a couple of weeks.

Room was very spacious and comfortable. Front office staff was helpful and location is also good.
What I didn't like was the quality of breakfast offered. There was nothing much with the set breakfast offered. Atleast juice or fruit should be added.

The interior of the hotel is neat and clean. Very spacious room. Comfy bed, it has a single big mattress for the whole surface. Very Saint-Petersburg-ish wide window sills, you can easily sit here and enjoy the romance. Breakfast is good (although I recommend getting it earlier than later so cinnamon buns are still fresh) and you have multiple options. Lots of useful stuff in the room: tea kettle, microwave and mini-fridge (the latter doesn't have much space for your own food, though), cabinet with hangers and some shelves, bathrobes, shampoo, etc. The bath has a heated floor. WiFi worked well, there was a separate access point in our room. We enjoyed our stay a lot and did not hear other guests or the reception (we were staying right above it). Note that we communicated with staff in Russian, don't let this review's language confuse you.
Although fumigators were provided, they did not help much (may be we did not use them the right way), so we've got few annoying mosquitoes in the night. It may take a minute or two for the hot water in the shower to actually get hot. The hotel also uses physical keys, not cards, so if you want two sets, it's better to clarify in advance. The exact location is somewhat shady with not much people or lights in the night, but I don't think there is anything to worry about. It's also 600m from much more populated Vosstaniya street and 300m from a fancy housing complex. Also, one day I returned very late (about 1am) and had to wait outside for some time before the outer door got opened (it's locked for the night and no key is provided), so check with the reception if you plan returning late to avoid confusion.
GoodAug 20187,5
The hotel is a good option. It is not in the very center of the city but the location is quite good. You have a metro station near the hotel. The room is very big, and the hotel is small and calmly.
Problems with safety box in the room. They didn´t work. They were broken and they didn,t give us any solution. And they are thieves in the metro and we were stolen violently in the metro. A great mistake of the hotel not to have fixed the safety boxes. The breakfast was carried from outside the hotel via catering, and taken to your room in a tray. It wasn´t good.

For a client base that includes SMEs, multinational companies and Cambridge colleges, the practice handles the international licensing of IP rights, contracts for the development of medical devices, and disputes including IP infringements on the internet. 'His depth of knowledge in the area of IP licensing is amazing and he has an uncanny knack of turning the complex into something extremely clear and straightforward', say clients of Bill Thatcher . The practice also calls upon litigator Mark Elmslie to handle contentious matters, which last year included a case for the British Institute of Interior Design concerning the use of its name. Head of technology Andrew Priest is also recommended.
Marks & Clerk LLP in Cambridge is part of a highly respected intellectual property firm and the practice interacts closely with the corporate team in London to serve a diverse client base in sectors such as technology and life sciences. Managing associate Simon Portman, who recently added experienced solicitor Rayyan Mughal from VSH Law to his team, counts IOMet Pharma, Lyra Electronics and Crown Packaging among his clients. He recently assisted ReagentBio Limited with drafting and negotiating contracts with customers, suppliers, agents and distributors for the supply of assays for research projects. He also supported New England Biolabs (UK) in interpreting and implementing regulatory standards for the storage and supply of genetically modified organisms.
The intellectual property practice at Greenwoods GRM handles a broad range of issues for the firm's clients in the media sector, particularly those involved in magazine and online publishing. The firm also has expertise in the technology sector, which generates IP work for lawyers in its Cambridge office. Head of corporate and commercial David Woods leads the practice, drawing on his 20 years' of experience in IP contracts and corporate transactions involving IP-rich businesses. Litigators Adele Whaley and associate Jamie McConnell, who is a rising star in the market, are recommended for contentious IP matters. Whaley recently helped a company pursue a copyright infringement and passing off case, which resulted in a former employee removing material from a new website.
The team at Steeles Law is 'excellent, providing very good advice and dependable, personable service'. The firm has developed a niche practice acting for clients in the hi-tech engineering sector, particularly for companies involved in cycling, motorsport and the automotive industry.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - A church van arson in Terre Haute remains under investigation.
It happened at Saints Home Church of God in Christ more than a month ago.
Church officials say a van was engulfed in flames and exploded next to the church.
Fire officials say they need the public's help.
They tell us there aren't any leads on this investigation at this point.
"That fire was in a vehicle that as adjacent to a structure and it could've very easily spread to that structure. So, we want to make sure we try to find out who was responsible for that and bring them to justice," Norm Loudermilk from the Terre Haute Fire Department told us.
If you have any information, you are asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 812-238-STOP.
The Terre Haute Fire Department reports it happened around 4 a.m. in the 1600 block of South 4th Street.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - An early morning car fire has been ruled arson.
The Terre Haute Fire Department reports it happened around 4 a.m. in the 1600 block of South 4th Street.
Officials report the arson involved a Honda Odyssey van.
Right now investigators do not have a suspect and are still trying to locate the vehicle's owner.
If you have any information that could help authorities, call Crime Stoppers at (812) 238 – STOP.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - Someone set a Terre Haute house on fire Tuesday morning, now investigators are looking for suspects.
Arson investigator Norm Loudermilk says the fire happened at a house on 7th Avenue.
Loudermilk says someone set a curtain on fire inside of an abandoned home.
The flames spread causing quite a bit of damage.
If you have any information, call Crime Stoppers at 812-238-STOP.
This week Crime Stoppers needs your help in identifying two burglary suspects. According to Vigo County Sheriff detectives, Futurex Industries has reported multiple burglaries and thefts over the past few months. Those individuals responsible have stolen several items valued at thousands of dollars.
Take a look at the images captured from inside the factory. The first suspect appears to be a heavy set, white female with blonde hair and glasses.
The second suspect appears to be a heavy set, white male with dark hair and possibly some facial hair.
The suspects' light brown Chevrolet S 10 Pickup truck was also captured at the scene by exterior security cameras.
If you have any information on the identity of the suspects involved, call our tip line at 812-238-STOP or go online at WTHITV.com and follow the links. Remember all tips to Crime Stoppers are anonymous and you could receive up to $1000 if your tip leads to an arrest.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) – News 10 has confirmed the Autopsy is complete on a body found Friday in a Vigo County pond. Vigo County Coroner Dr. Susan Amos reveals to News 10 that a positive ID will not be determined for roughly 2-6 weeks. She is awaiting results from DNA testing. Dr. Amos adds that once a positive ID is made more information will be released.
The Terre Haute Police Department shared an update in the investigation of the death of 72-year-old Alice Anita Oswald on Friday. THPD said authorities began work on Thursday, drilling pilot holes in the ice of a pond in Southeastern Vigo County. Officials say a vehicle was discovered in the pond, and the process of locating it spanned two days with 30 to 40 people working the scene.
Friday, crews sent a camera underwater and later two divers. That's when they found a burgundy Honda CRV and police confirmed it belongs to Alice "Anita" Oswald.
Authorities say it took a lot of effort to get the car out of the frozen water, but were successful in getting it out at 3:30 Friday afternoon.
They say a white female was found dead inside but couldn't confirm it was Oswald.
Oswald disappeared in November 2017. That's when police issued a Silver Alert for her.
A suspicious fire destroyed her home after her family reported her missing.
Oswald was in charge of a local animal shelter that has started the process of closing.
Police say they do suspect foul play. Officials say they will slowly work to dry the vehicle recovered from the water in an effort to preserve any DNA evidence.
Investigators say there have been persons of interest since Oswald's disappearance but they remain tight-lipped.
They think there are people with information about this case who have not come forward. They are urging anyone with tips to come forward now. If you have information, you can call Crime Stoppers at 812-238-STOP.

"On the way to the barn I rehearsed in my head how I would approach the staff, protect my daughter, and control the session. I thought I knew best. I would make sure that my rules were followed and my child was not touched. We walked into the barn and we were greeted at once by a volunteer who introduced herself as Denise, held her hand out to my daughter and asked her if she was ready to meet her horse, Bleu. I was amazed when my daughter took her hand. Denise directed me to the other side of the arena and the two of them walked down the row of stalls with eager horses peering out at them. I walked down the opposite row of stalls and reached up to the first horse I came to and buried my face in his neck and cried. I knew that it would be okay."

Question 20: Q: We have discussed with some of our friends from this town about the 'Arda (the national dance of Saudi Arabia, which is a men's sword dance accompanied by traditional drummers and a poet, who sings the lyrics) that is held in our area of Ghamid and Zahran. Some say that it is Mubaah (permissible), some consider it to be Makrooh (disliked), and others say that it is Haraam (prohibited). Evidence used by those who say it is Mubaah is that the Ethiopians used to have their games and when `Umar ibn Al-Khattaab objected to them, the Messenger (peace be upon him) told him to let them carry on, as it would teach the Jews and the Christians that Islam is a Deen (religion) that permits recreation. They say that the 'Arda indicates manhood and courage, and it is an ancient custom in the village that is approved of by the government. The evidence used by those who view it as Makruh is that it involves wasting money and time, but if it does not distract people from any Faridah (obligatory act) of their Din, they say that it is allowed. Those who say that the 'Arda is Haram support their view with the following:
First: The 'Arda involves playing the Zir (big drum), which is the work of Satan.
Second: All the poets of the region follow the modern artistic styles in their poetry, and so they honor inferior people and degrade honorable ones just to gain money.
Third:Holding the 'Arda involves squandering, as each poet is given up to 5,000 Riyals, or more sometimes, and the Zir player and his band gets a similar fee. So not less than 10,000 Riyals are spent on the 'Arda in one night, and this sum increases according to the importance of the occasion.
Fourth: Most of the people who are involved in the 'Arda or attend it are conceited, arrogant, and like to show-off. People have now started to film the 'Arda and show it later on in their homes. The matter has been worsened, as dancing is now being included in the event.
Fifth: Women mostly watch the 'Arda from the roofs of their houses and they watch the videos inside their houses, and this is immoral.
Sixth: When the 'Arda is held at night, which is usually the case, it continues until after midnight, and so most of those who attend miss the congregational Fajr (Dawn) Prayer, except for those on whom Allaah has mercy, because they are tired and exhausted.
Seventh: Once the Zir starts to be heard, the surrounding area becomes full of cars and people start to gather, among whom are very old men who come to watch the 'Arda. They even come using their walking sticks to participate in the 'Arda, as they are able to forget their condition at that time.
This is the 'Arda and the views of different people on it. I have thus represented the matter to you, Your Eminence, and I submit it to your consideration, hoping that you could provide us with a detailed answer. We will strictly apply your Fatwaa' (legal opinion given by a qualified Muslim scholar), In shaa'-Allaah (if Allaah wills), as we have great confidence that your Fatwas are based on sound knowledge of the Qur'aan and Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet, peace be upon him) – and, indeed, the Truth is more deserving to be followed.
Answer: If the reality of the 'Arda is as you mentioned in the question, regarding the use of musical instruments, and that the poets exceed proper bounds in their poetry by honoring inferior people and degrading honorable ones just to gain money... read more here.

Perry seems in favor of emergency order to bail out coal, nuclear plants
Enlarge / US Energy Secretary Rick Perry in the East Room of the White House in 2018. (credit: Getty Images)
At a hearing on Capitol Hill on Thursday, Energy Secretary Rick Perry expressed his willingness to help coal and nuclear plants out with an emergency order similar to one requested by energy firm FirstEnergy earlier this month.
Two weeks ago, FirstEnergy asked the Department of Energy (DOE) to invoke Section 202(c), which allows the department to order certain US power plants to keep running during wartime or during a natural disaster. The energy firm then filed for bankruptcy a few days later.
There has been skepticism within the DOE that Section 202(c) should be used for any purpose other than a disaster. But at Thursday's hearing, Perry seemed to play up the dire state of the American grid throughout his comments in front of the US House of Representatives Subcommittee on Energy, where he took questions from representatives about the Trump administration's budget request for 2019.
