What can be filed as French trademark?
The mark is a sign which serves to distinguish the goods or services of a company or of a person. The part played by the mark is to draw the attention of the consummer and to indicate the origin of the designated goods, while respecting the rights of the third parties.
The different sorts of marks (Art. L. 711-1)
A mark is a sign capable of graphic representation. It may be constituted, for example, by denominations (real, created or distorted words, surnames, geographical names, letters, abbreviations...), by sounds (graphically represented by a staff or by a spectrum for example), by figurative signs (devices, holograms, logos...), by shapes (non functional part of a packaging...), by shades of color...
All signs cannot be filed (Art. L. 711-2, Art. L. 711-3)
A mark shall not describe the goods or services which it designates. It is impossible to appropriate signs which, for example :
- exclusively designate the good or service, in everyday or technical language,
- may serve to designate a feature of the product or service (the quality, the geographical origin, the purpose...).
For example, the French Office has refused to register the sign "Le tourisme d'affaires" (i.e. the business tourism) to designate a service of business tourism or "Les soupes de la forme" (i.e. the soups of the form) to designate soups.
It has to be noticed that the validity of a mark shall be contested ulteriorly by a third person, although it was registered, for example at a prosecution for infringement.
The mark shall not deceive the consummer neither, for example by suggesting a quality which the product does not have.
The earlier rights (Art. L. 711-4)
At this step of the mark creation, one can retain several signs that could be the mark. The choice is then taken according to different rights of third persons, because filing a mark shall not infringe earlier rights (marks, company names, protected appellation of origin, author's rights, signs protected according to article 6ter of Paris Convention...). One has to check if the retained signs are available.
In France, the mere filing of a mark is an act of infringement with regard to an earlier mark. The damages which can be allowed to the earlier mark owner for such a filing are regularly at least 10 000 EUR. It is therefore essential to conduct anteriorities searches, even if they will never be exhaustive (all earlier rights are not listed).
If a filing of the same sign is already intended abroad, these searches have to be conducted among the earlier rights of the extension country (countries).
It is not recommended to create a mark by drawing one's "inspiration" from another sign (name of a famous restaurant, nickname of an actor, title of a song...). Indeed, even if you want to designate different goods, such as clothes, the filing and the use of your mark could be judged as parasitism or as an interference with a copyright...

To John Adams from James McHenry, 6 May 1800
War Department 6 May 1800
Conformably to your directions, I requested, and had an interview, with Mr. Waln this morning and communicated to him, that if it would suit Mr. Whelen best, on account of his family and connections to hold an agency in the branch of the Purveyor at Philadelphia, at a salary from 1000 to 1200 Dollars per annum, in preference to the Principal office which would require the removal of his family to the City of Washington, in that case the agency would be stipulated for in his favour.
Mr Waln promised to consult Mr. Whelen, and inform me of his friends wishes—this evening or early in the morning. I shall transmit his information as soon as received by me.
I have the honour to be with perfect consideration / Sir your ob St.

The dynamics of Aqua-planets
Aqua-planets are Earth-like planets with an atmosphere and ocean like our own, but with highly schematized land distributions. They provide a context for the study of:
- the elemental role of the ocean in climate
- questions raised by the paleo-record
- planetary dynamics.
In our aqua-planet studies the geometrical constraints on ocean circulation and extent of land are reduced to a minimal description: a sequence of 'stick models'. The 'sticks' are narrow vertical barriers in an otherwise flat-bottomed ocean, which extend from the bottom of the ocean to the top: there is no orographic forcing of the atmosphere.
The sequence from Aqua to Ridge to Drake to Double Drake can be regarded as a 'cartoon' that increases the level of geometrical complexity: from the pure Aquaplanet (where there are no topographic constraints on ocean circulation) to the Double Drake (in which two barriers arcing down from the north pole delineate a small basin and a large basin, with an unblocked circumpolar region over the south pole). The Double Drake captures the two essential aspects of basin geometry of our present world: inter-hemispheric asymmetries (zonally blocked flow in the north, unblocked in the south) and zonal asymmetries (a small basin and a large basin).
Study of this system has enabled to probe:
- the partitioning of heat transport between the atmosphere and ocean and constraints on the total (A+O) heat transport [95], [103], [104] and [109]
- multiple equibria of the coupled climate – amazingly the aquaplanet system (and perhaps the real climate too) exhibits more than one stable state for the same external forcing – [113], [124], [139]
- zonal asymmetries in climate such as localization of the ocean's MOC to the small (Alantic) basin – [119], [141]
- inter-hemispheric asymmetries in climate such as sinking around the north pole and upwelling around the south pole [109] and the displacement of the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone north of the equator [138], [150], [154]

Finding free local fuck is easier than ever these days. There are so many ways to find women ready to fuck online that after a few weeks you'll be swimming in women.
The problem is most people are still thinking like it's the 1990s and the only way to meet women is at bars and clubs. Don't limit yourself to the archaic views of your friends and family. Go out to the normal places and get online now, because it will enhance your ability to meet more women in less time.
The best of getting online to find your next prospect is you already know these women are looking. With the ability to create a profile and pinpoint the exact match for you, it's easier than ever to find whatever you're into.
With social media and dating websites, finding free local sex is a matter of sending a wink or basically a short message to get a response. There are so many women doing it that it's becoming the normal way to find someone. Don't hesitate to get on every website available these days, but use the tips in this article to find the best strategies to find free local sex today.
[RECOMMENDED: How To Go From Texting To Sex]
Top three apps to find sex near you
There are tons of ways to find free local sex with hookup apps and websites like Snapfuck and CougarLife. There is something for everyone today. If you want cougars, there are a ton of ways to meet and fuck locals just by making a profile and agreeing to wear a condom.
I have personally downloaded and tested these apps to find local sex:
Local Facebook singles group
There are a ton of groups on Facebook directly related to hookups in your area. If you're in a metropolitan area, finding free local sex shouldn't be a problem at all. All you have to do is make your profile look respectable and start talking.
Don't come off too strong. If you're in those groups, try and survey the land before you dive all the way in. There's no reason to burn your credibility right upfront. Try to get a feel for what's acceptable first, then move in for the kill.
What holds most people back when they get online is the lack of outreach. It's the same in business and life in general. If you're sitting back waiting for something to happen to you, you can expect a lot of waiting, but if you're actively pursuing something without attachment to the outcome then your chances are good the failures you experience won't matter.
Instagram Singles page #(your-city)singles
Most people don't think about social media when thinking about how to get laid online.
Instagram can be a great place to find hookups. Look for local pages that offer dating or local sex for singles. You can follow the Instagram page to stay informed of local group events and activities, which is the perfect opportunity to showcase your seductions tactics.
You can also use the search feature on Instagram to search for your city and the word singles (e.g #lasingles). You will see a post from singles groups and individual accounts. If you are looking to find local sex then you need to add as many accounts as possible to increase your chances of finding a local partner.
Snapchat the "Near Me" function
Whenever you go out to a bar or club, open your Snapchat and find people. Finding free local sex on Snapchat is easy when you use your phone as a tool to break the ice.
If you post and allow people to find you, women will be drawn to you if you are doing something cool. Snapchat is a way to broadcast the fun stuff you and your friends are doing. This is a great way to make friends and show women that you're cool. They'll be on the lookout for the guy that did the row of shots at the bar or break dancing.
Keep your creativity high when you use any social media platform. It's meant to be fun and social, so be those things to the max. The more you let loose on social media, the more women will be attracted to you.
Classified ads
Here are the top three sites to find Casual encounters and Escorts:
Meet the online version of the "wanted ads" in the newspaper. ClassifiedAds is a great way to find free local sex. Just be careful, this is a play at your own risk kind of place. You have to protect yourself against weirdos. You never know who's on the other end of the phone when you meet in a place like classifiedads.com.
Make sure you're meeting these people at a public place before you have them come to your place. Even then it's possible to get robbed or worse. Free local sex can come at a price if you don't use your head and a condom.
Have you ever seen the movie, "Single White Female?" It's about a woman that breaks up with her boyfriend and looks for a roommate using the "wanted ads." The woman that she selects ends up being a complete psycho. The story isn't a pretty one.
Traditional dating methods still work
Top three traditional dating apps:
Don't forget about the old tricks. Meeting at bars and clubs have worked for years so don't go totally online, but if it's easier then go with what works for you.
Free local sex is everywhere if you try to look for it. You can find it online and in your neighborhood. If you're just starting to look then get online. Try Match.com. Make a profile and get laid.
It works best if you use online apps and local areas together to maximize your efforts. A face-to-face meet up works pretty well in comparison to an online chat. The only drawback is you don't know if the woman you're talking to is really looking for a man at that time. Online you know it upfront.
Why isn't everyone getting laid?
People are funny when it comes to sex. They get scared to get out there and give it a shot. Don't be one of those guys. If you want to something go and get it. It's because of a fear of rejection and a lack of self-worth. I was one of those people for years. You don't have to fear anything. If you want to get laid then just go get laid.
The porn industry's growth over the last 20 years has skyrocketed because of these fears. Don't become a statistic and meet some women. It's only scary in the beginning.
As one of my favorite musicians, Dave Navarro, explains, "If I want a sandwich, I just go get a sandwich. I don't go online and watch a video about someone eating a sandwich."

Michael Smerconish
Nationally syndicated radio host and columnist and an MSNBC contributor.
Any conversation about political polarization would be incomplete without a look at the media's role in shaping opinions. From my view on the front lines, I have seen a rapid escalation of extreme dialogue -- sadly, something sure to guarantee high ratings. Indeed, Campbell Brown's departure from her CNN show last month marks another tombstone in the graveyard of moderate, thoughtful analysis.
Why does this matter? I'd argue that the climate in Washington is being shaped by an artificial presentation of attitudes on cable TV and talk radio. To view and to listen is to become convinced that there are only two, diametrically opposed philosophical approaches to the issues. And yet, working daily in both mediums, I often think that the only people I meet who see the world entirely through liberal or conservative lenses are the hosts with whom I rub shoulders.
Buying gas or groceries or attending back-to-school nights, I speak to people for whom the issues are a mixed bag; they are liberal on some, conservative on others, middle of the road on the rest. But politicians don't take their cues from those people. No, politicians emulate the world of punditry.
Opinions from the middle are underrepresented, even shunned, in the modern debate. Consider: In May 2008, a few weeks after Pennsylvania's presidential primary, I was scheduled to appear on CNN's "Larry King Live." During the customary pre-interview with a program producer, I gave a summation of how I saw the presidential race. The producer was satisfied. At the conclusion of our chat, I asked how I would be identified.
"As a John McCain supporter," I was told.
"But I'm not sure I will vote for McCain," I responded.
The producer asked whether CNN could identify me as a conservative. "Well, if someone who supports harsh interrogation, thinks we should be out of Iraq but in Pakistan, doesn't care much if two guys hook up, and believes we should legalize pot and prostitution is conservative, fine," I replied.
More silence.
Why not just introduce me as a radio host, columnist and author, I asked. I was told to await a call-back to see whether I was still needed. (Ultimately, I did appear on the program, under the heading of "talk-radio host, columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News and Philadelphia Inquirer. He is a Republican.")
Another time, a Fox News producer invited me to appear on a program to discuss then-candidate Barack Obama. I was told they were "looking for someone who would say he's cocky and that his cockiness will hurt him, if not in the primary, definitely in the general election against McCain." I declined. A few hours later, the same producer made a new pitch: "What about a debate off the top of the show on whether or not Hillary is trustworthy? We have someone who says she is and we're looking for someone who says she isn't."
The message of both episodes is clear: There is no room for nuance. Either you offer a consistent (possibly artificial) ideological view or you often don't get a say.
Unfortunately, this approach is rewarded with ratings, because ratings are driven by passion, not universal appeal or general acceptance. While the most recent polling and voter registration data suggest that political power lies in the middle, it remains largely untapped because it lacks the fervor of the extremes. This also explains the lack of loyalty by centrists for media personalities such as Campbell Brown, unlike the devotion the far right and left have for their own torch-bearers. The more doctrinaire the viewpoint, the better the odds it will be heard.
Brown abandoned her 8 p.m. program because, in her words, "not enough people want to watch." "The 8 p.m. hour in cable news world is currently driven by the indomitable Bill O'Reilly, Nancy Grace and Keith Olbermann," she said. "Shedding my own journalistic skin to try to inhabit the kind of persona that might co-exist in that lineup is simply impossible for me."
Viewers and listeners have become conditioned to expect -- and accept -- only perspectives that line up on one side of the aisle. Interestingly, while the audience hears the extremes, the populace appears headed in a different direction. A Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll last month found that more respondents deemed their approach to issues as "moderate" (37 percent) than any other classification (very liberal, somewhat liberal, very conservative or somewhat conservative). Nevertheless, politicians, keyed up by on-camera conflict and forced into constant campaign mode by the 24-7 news cycle, strive to placate the most reliable voters, those who vote in primaries, tend to be the most polarized and make the most contributions. Ask South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson (R-"You lie!") or Florida Rep. Alan Grayson (D-"Die quickly") how their fundraising went in the quarters after their outlandish outbursts regarding the president's and the Republicans' respective health-care plans.
No wonder that, when elected, many treat their legislative colleagues the way they would a pundit on a split screen. Collegiality used to be commonplace. Now it's political kryptonite.
The endangered part of the political spectrum is now the middle. Centrists such as Republican New York Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava get ridiculed as weak or lacking in principle. Sen. Arlen Specter's decisive loss in Pennsylvania and Sen. John McCain's fight for his political life in Arizona are signs of the vulnerability of nonideologues running in primaries that cater to the passions at the ends of the spectrum.
All of which leaves more elected officials beholden to the fringe elements of their parties, which in turn means less gets done. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, and it is robbing our televisions and radios of the substantive dialogue the country desperately needs, while leaving our politics a petty and unproductive mess.

In the early hours of April 20, 1989, a female jogger was found left for dead in Central Park, New York. Badly beaten, she had also been raped. Mayor Ed Koch promised a quick and successful pursuit of justice. Within hours, three teenagers, who had been arrested earlier that night on unrelated charges, came to be detained as chief suspects in the incident. Soon after, two more arrests were made. In the course of mere days, the NYPD had interrogated and elicited confessions from each of the five young men that implicated each other and themselves in the crime. Relying mostly on present-day testimonies, The Central Park Five is a powerfully linear documentary account of their wrongful conviction.
The five men, all between 14 and 16 years of age in April 1989, are Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Korey Wise, Yusef Salaam and Antron McCray. Their arrests that night were, we are told by New York Times journalist Jim Dwyer, "part of a proxy war", in which "these five men were the proxies of all kinds of different agendas." "Truth" and "justice" are only the misnomers that drive such a war, playing on racial and class-based stereotypes in order to preserve a police department and political order whose incompetence was (and arguably is) under systemic pressures to perform and provide favourable stats, not least from the media-assisted discourse of White, Middle-class, American Dream Careerism. Ken Burns, David McMahon and Sarah Burns do well to assemble this social context early on in The Central Park Five, painting New York as a city whose image was that of an impoverished, almost-abandoned place defined by corruption, conservatism, fear and hysteria.
The case alone, of five wrongful arrests and convictions, illustrates this with incendiary clarity, though the individual testimonies of the eponymous five point to a sobering humanism that defies a judicial system that has not only ruined their lives, but is indirectly responsible for the further rape and murder of other women by the actual perpetrator, Matias Reyes. Indeed, as another expert witness reveals, had proper conduct been followed in the hours, days and weeks following the initial discovery of the "Central Park jogger", Reyes would likely have been at the very least linked to the crime, and doubt very much placed upon the confessions drawn from the boys after hours of isolated pressure and coercion.
The filmmakers play things straight, cross-cutting to emphasise witness corroboration while keeping things strictly linear. The narrative of April 19 unfolds with infuriating retroaction: the five boys were out in the park that night as participants, to varying extents, in a number of unrelated crimes (bloated to endemic proportions by the media). Richardson and Santana – who didn't even know each other – were detained with three others for "unlawful assembly"; Richardson received injuries to his face during the arrest, when one police officer smashed his helmet into the boy's face. Subject to racial abuse, the two boys were duped into providing statements against one another, thereby implicating themselves in the assault. One talking head tells of the "prestigious Manhattan detectives" who claimed the case as their own victory: "they had a lot of pride and swagger", we are told. The media's reaction, meanwhile, was predictably abhorrent. Headlines and on-screen quotations from newspaper articles are telling of the sensationalist, "guilty until proven innocent" logic by which these right-wing muckrakers operate. Contributing to an ongoing class war, the media was quick to perpetuate Mayor Koch's derogatory remarks about the five boys and, by implication, the non-White races to which they belonged. Proponents of the death penalty emerged in the furore. In contrast, coverage of the victim's progress and recovery from a coma highlighted her middle-class, professional background. Indeed, her assault wasn't the first or last of its kind that year (there were over 3,000 reported cases in 1989 alone), but its interracial element was inflammatory.
The attack was consciously exploited for political agendas that fed upon and helped escalate a hatred for the lower, working classes. Once all the Harlem-based boys had been tarred with suspicion, there was seemingly no halting the cries to bring them to justice – tragically, not even rationality and factual evidence could get in the way. That inconsistencies were present in the five boys' written and videoed testimonies didn't, in the end, matter. Regardless of major discrepancies, erroneous details, an unlikely timeline of events, and the conditions under which they were obtained, personal confessions remained "irresistibly persuasive".
Legal miscarriage is only the beginning. In the latter stages of The Central Park Five, we learn of these men's lives in and after their jail terms: the real dangers they faced during their initial incarcerations at notorious juvenile centres designed for youths who had committed serious crimes; the practical difficulties with which they readjusted to life after serving their terms – the slim likelihood of getting a job, the humiliation of registering as sex offenders, the draw of criminal activity. Inevitably, the film here implicates such a system as punitive not rehabilitative; the damaging impact that imprisonment has had on these men is heartbreaking alone, but that it was as a result of political ineptitude, procedural incompetence and irrational war-mongering by the establishment and its media is finally unforgivable – and, perhaps, irreparable.
Tellingly, after Matias Reyes confessed to the brutal crime and the five boys were pardoned after DNA samples confirmed Reyes's presence at the scene, the media and police force's reactions weren't half as fierce as they had been in 1989. As one witness says, their actions can be defined as examples of "institutional protectionism". The Central Park Five is an excellent and moving indictment of a thoroughly disastrous episode in New York's political, policing and social history, and at a time of growing and legitimate anger directed at the political establishment and the police force recruited and employed to preserve it in the US, the film carries far-reaching implications indeed.
'The Central Park Five' is part of the London Film Festival's 'Documentary Competition', and screens on Saturday, 20 October.

It's that time of year again: flu season. You've likely heard that our risk of developing complications from the flu increases as we get older. That's in large part because our ability to fight off illnesses weakens as we age, as does our ability to build up antibodies after receiving a vaccine.
All this adds up to the flu taking an especially tough toll on older adults. Each year, up to 85 percent of seasonal flu-related deaths occur in people 65 years and older. During the 2015-2016 flu season, 153,000 older adults wound up in the hospital after a bout with the flu, and sadly, some 7,600 died from pneumonia and influenza-related illness.i
These numbers drive home the importance of the flu shot for older adults. Contrary to the old wives' tale, it's impossible to get the flu from the flu shot. And even in years when the vaccine isn't perfectly matched to the circulating strains, it still offers protection that can make a major difference in the severity of your symptoms. So it's best to follow health experts' advice and dutifully get your flu shot each fall.
If you're over 65, a minor adjustment in your approach to this annual precautionary health step could offer even greater protection from the flu. And no, it doesn't require you to get extra shots. All you have to do is talk to your doctor about Fluzone when you show up for your flu shot appointment.
Fluzone is a high-dose flu vaccine that's formulated to counter the factors that put older adults at greater risk from the flu. Offered in a single-dose shot, it's designed especially for adults 65 years and older.ii The formula contains four times the amount of antigen – the part of the vaccine that triggers an immune response – and just like the standard flu vaccine, it's made to protect against the flu strains most likely to cause illness that year.iii
Fluzone has been in use since it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2009 and has been shown to illicit a stronger immune response than the standard flu vaccine.iv,v
Making this simple switch from the standard flu shot to Fluzone could have a big impact on your health. A recent study showed the high-dose flu vaccine did a better job of preventing flu-related deaths and hospitalizations in seniors during a bad flu season.
In a study of more than 1 million Medicare recipients 65 years of age and older, seniors who received the high-dose vaccine but still contracted the flu and landed in the hospital or emergency room were 36 percent less likely to die in the 30 days following the hospitalization, compared to those who received the standard-dose vaccine.
The study, published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, was conducted initially during the 2012-2013 flu season when the H3N2 virus – one of the stronger strains of the flu – was predominant. Interestingly, the same study conducted the following year, when HIN1 was the dominant strain, showed that the high-dose vaccine was not significantly better at preventing deaths. Nevertheless, since infectious disease experts can't predict with 100-percent certainty which strains will be most active in a given flu season, health experts suggest that the high-dose vaccine may be the better option.
The high-dose flu vaccine has also proved to be beneficial for some of the most vulnerable seniors – nursing home residents. In a 2017 study of 38,000 nursing home residents across the U.S., those given the high-dose vaccine were 12.7 percent less likely to be hospitalized for respiratory illness compared to residents receiving the standard-dose shot.vii
The Bottom Line
Switching from the standard flu shot to Fluzone seems like a no-brainer, but it's best to discuss your options with your doctor and follow his or her recommendations. Regardless of the type of flu vaccine you choose this year, remember that it takes about two weeks for protection to kick in, so it's best to get the vaccine in the fall before flu season peaks between December and February.viii

Love Love
February 14, 2012 at 12:53 pm (Uncategorized) (boyfriend, cookies, family, food, friends, love, things I love, valentine's day)
In honor of Valentine's Day (the history of which you can read here – it's not some Hallmark holiday like Sweetest Day. Seriously what the hell does that even mean?), below is a list of things that I love (in no particular order):
- My momma
- Cheese
- My roommate/boyfriend (cue aww)
- My sister, father, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and the rest of my wacky family
- All of my beautiful lady friends who constantly inspire and enlighten me. They are all wonderful
- My guy friends, who are awesome and pretty wonderful too
- Getting into bed with freshly shaved legs and super clean sheets
- Netflix
- Wine
- Lists (surprise!)
- The fact that our new kitty is acclimating well and followed me around like a shadow this morning while I got ready
- Being a grown up (sure, taxes and bills suck but so does puberty)
- The way my ass looks in the skirt I'm wearing
- My blankie and stuffed monkey, George
- Watching it snow from the comfort of my living room
- Being right
- Ice cream and cookies
- Especially E.L. Fudge cookies
- Did I mention my awesome family and friends?
- The fact that it's staying lighter a little longer each day
- Days where I get to sleep in late
- My momma
Clearly, I have a lot in my life to love. This day means exchanging valentines and candy during classroom parties when you're a kid and then somehow it turns into something that we're supposed to splurge and spend on…I think it's a day to remind those we love that we love them. Not to say I won't be enjoying a nice sushi dinner out with my significant other, but that and a card will about cover it.
I'll spend the rest of the night telling my pillows and cookies just how much they mean to me, too.

Buffett's Grandson Focused on Impact
Howard Warren Buffett, the 32-year-old grandson of Berkshire Hathaway founder Warren E. Buffett, has co-founded a permanently capitalized operating company that aims to harness business principles to drive social change, the New York Times reports.
The company, i(x) Investments, hopes to reward investors with long-term economic growth and social impact by investing in early-stage and undervalued companies working in areas such as clean energy, sustainable agriculture, and water scarcity. Co-founder and CEO Trevor Neilson, formerly the president of financial services firm G2 Investment Group and director of public affairs at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, told the Times that friends and strategic partners were investing $2 million to $5 million in the firm this year and that it would look to raise $200 million from family offices, institutional investors, and big companies in 2016, with the goal of investing $100 million annually and filing for an initial public offering by 2020.
According to Neilson, the firm is close to taking its first two stakes. One of the companies it is eyeing breeds crickets as food for chickens and fish — a more ecologically sound alternative to traditional feedstocks such as corn — while the other, a company called Skywater, makes machines that turn naturally occurring humidity into drinking water. Some of the firm's investments, such as the one it is considering in solar energy financing company True Green Capital, could be as large as $100 million, said Neilson.
And while Buffett did not ask his grandfather for advice or money prior to launching i(x) Investments, and neither his father, Howard G. Buffett, nor his grandfather is an investor, it is no coincidence the firm is structured like Berkshire Hathaway. As a permanently capitalized operating company — essentially a holding company that owns independently operated companies and stakes in others — i(x) Investments will benefit from compound interest and be able to defer costly tax payments, as Berkshire has.
"A fund structure, with its finite life cycle and investors wanting to see returns, is not the right model for impact investing," said Neilson. "The world's biggest problems have to be addressed through sustained investment....There is an evolving consciousness in the world, which presents an historic opportunity for both social change and profit."

Keep Them Close
It wasn't all that long ago that I was talking about and encouraging you to get your spaniel going. Now with the season starting and plenty of young game about it may be that it is advisable to talk about keeping them under control and hunting a good pattern whilst they are going. One of the traps that many handlers fall into is allowing their dogs to pull steadily away from them until at times they are working out of gunshot range. The solution many handlers seem to adopt is to walk as fast as possible to keep up with the dog. This leaves you with another problem which is that in walking at a speed necessary to keep within gunshot you are probably missing a lot of ground and cover which could hold that elusive rabbit or bird.
Your dog needs to be trained to work an effective pattern of ground which takes into account wind direction, scenting conditions and type of cover. This pattern should be such that nothing is left unchecked, every tussock, bush, bramble scrub, whatever has to be gone through and worked well. Some of the early trials this year have been run in awful weather, with heavy rain, wet ground, tucked in rabbits and poor scenting condition demanding dogs that cover, in fact run over, nearly every inch of ground. Even hunting a foot one side of a rabbit usually meant that it was missed, as scent was just not carrying. These extreme conditions are rare but they do occur. There are some grounds where scent is notorious for being poor, what causes it we can only guess at, and not only are there these grounds that produce little scent but even odd corners of usually good scenting ground can be poor, so the essential training in your hunting is to get your pattern right.
When hunting a young dog I like to have ground where I can see it at all times, reeds and rushy grass is ideal, but light woodland bottom and stubble turnip can also be perfect. In other words somewhere that you can keep in touch. Generally when you first cast a dog off to hunt after it has been waiting, the pent up energy releases itself into a rush and if you are not ready your dog has gone too far ahead of you before you can touch the whistle. So be prepared the moment you cast your dog off, have the whistle in your mouth and concentration on 'turbo'. Where possible I always prefer to hunt a dog into the wind. It is difficult to teach a dog to take the wind direction into account when quartering, some dogs do it naturally, others never seem to get the idea, but if you work into the wind the dog tends to keep closer and develops a more event pattern. When you do cast it off, cast it to the side and don't move forward, give it the turn whistle and bring it back across the front of your body making sure that in those first steps you don't walk over ground that hasn't been worked. Get your dog going in the flowing 'windscreen wiper' pattern from the very beginning. Even if your dog ignores the first turn whistle get out and remind it to turn with a tug of the ear or a pull of the fur under the chin pulling it towards you with a pip-pip of the whistle. Some dogs turn on the whistle, look at you, see you are walking forward and come across in front much too far ahead. If this happens try standing still as you blow the turn whistle and watch whether your dog turns more towards you, coming into your body as it quarters. If it doesn't, give a recall whistle as it turns, bringing it in close before casting it off using a flowing hand movement in the opposite direction. Do this regularly, so the dog goes out, turns, and works back towards your body before hunting out in the opposite direction. After a while the dog will realise that it is expected to cross close to you, and a much 'flatter' pattern will result.
A 'flatter' pattern where the dog is only moving a few yards forward as it completes each beat means that it has more opportunity of finding game simply because the pattern it is hunting must put it very close to the scent of anything tucked in. During any training or even shooting sessions I keep my dogs working very close, especially a young dog. I can keep in total control this way and they also begin the think that all the pleasures in life come from being close to me. If I allow them to range too far and find game they will believe that is where all the fun lies and it is where they will want to be. A young dog will tend to bore forward as well as going out to the side, avoid this by turning it and not allowing the dog to go too far ahead. Keep them patterning tight, no more than fifteen yards either side and five yards ahead. If you find there are large bushes that need working, direct the dog into the bush and within seconds use the recall whistle to bring it out again before putting it back in once more. This is essential with a young inexperienced dog to make sure it realises you are still in control even though you may be out of sight. Under these bushes lurk the dangers of running pheasants and rabbits. Your dog will quickly learn bad habits if it gets away with misdemeanours because you cannot see what is happening. Can you imagine if, out of sight, your dog flushes a rabbit, and has a short chase before the rabbit goes down a bury. You, not knowing what has happened, recall the dog on the whistle and then praise it for returning. Your dog however is still remembering the chase which the praise reinforces, and that is not quite what you meant.
In the early days with a young dog experiencing game for the first time, don't be afraid to use the whistle regularly to turn him, bring him back in, and stop him on the flush. Learn to play the whistle like a 'controller' and make sure that he obeys every time, obeying the second blow is one blow too late. You may feel that you are blowing the whistle too much, but providing you are doing it correctly and at the right time, after a while you will need to blow the whistle less and less. However always be ready for the reminder if ever there is a distraction which just pulls your dog that little bit further than is safe or good for the hunting pattern.
When you get into more haphazard cover such as scrub and woodland you cannot expect your dog to still work the perfect left, right pattern and it can miss ground, so this is where your skills come in, helping the dog to maintain it's flow but at the same time making sure that the bush he has overlooked is checked by directing him to it. If you miss it, you can bet that is where a bird is hiding.
Hunting a spaniel well needs practice, many handlers seems to spend considerable time on retrieving and handling their dogs onto retrieves but unless we get the hunting right with a spaniel we probably will have little to retrieve anyway.

HollywoodLife Flip-Flops On Chris Pratt, Olivia Munn Dating After Spreading False Rumors
HollywoodLife is flip-flopping on whether or not Chris Pratt and Olivia Munn are dating. They aren't, but the ill-informed website has spent most of this month promoting false rumors and speculation. Gossip Cop can bust the outlet, which isn't taking any responsibility for spreading misinformation.
"Is Chris Pratt Secretly Dating Olivia Munn After His Split From Anna Faris? — Report Says Yes," the blog declared in a headline on January 3. The outlet asserted that Pratt didn't have the "breakup blues" because he was now involved with Munn. The online publication quoted heavily from a tabloid article, but made no effort to fact-check the information. HollywoodLies, as it's known, only noted that "the actors have yet to address the reports or confirm a relationship." But real journalists wouldn't have regurgitated the romance claims without knowing whether or not they're accurate.
The very next day, January 4, the site helped fuel the rumor with a follow-up post titled, "Anna Faris Once Told Olivia Munn That She Was Chris Pratt's 'Dream Woman.'" The piece began, "Chris Pratt is reportedly dating Olivia Munn, and one person who thinks they'd make a perfect couple… is Chris's ex, Anna Faris." The basis of the claim was a nearly two-year-old episode of Faris' podcast, in which Munn spoke about wanting an eagle tattoo. Faris said in response, "Oh my God, you're my husband's dream woman. My husband loves eagles."
"Perhaps the circumstances were a bit different," acknowledged the website, "but the coincidence is very eerie." HollywoodLies further stated, "It's all really strange to hear Anna possibly predict Olivia and Chris's alleged romance, nearly two year in advance. Is Anna psychic or is this just a weird coincidence?" Again, the publication didn't bother to investigate whether it was even true Pratt and Munn were now dating. And Faris' 2016 remark, of course, was not evidence that they were.
Then on January 20, the outlet wrote about the pair again, blaring, "Chris Pratt & Olivia Munn Spotted Out On Date Together — Has He Landed His 'Dream Woman'?" Just like it did initially, HollywoodLies picked up its claims from elsewhere without giving any consideration to accuracy. The website said Pratt had "hit the dating scene" because he and Munn were supposedly "spotted dining out" together. Gushed the blog, "We can already imagine these 2 together and we're certain they'd make a super-cute couple!" Readers were even asked, "Are you hoping a new Hollywood couple is blossoming?"
It wasn't until the following day, January 21, that HollywoodLies reversed course. And the site only did so because Munn herself spoke out to set the record straight. "Olivia Munn Slams Chris Pratt Dating Rumors By Posting Text To Anna Faris: 'It's Not True,'" read the new headline. In the story, blog flip-flopped from its previous tales and declared that Pratt and Munn "are NOT dating." The outlet didn't finally decide to investigate and fact-check. It merely pointed to posts Munn shared on Twitter and Instagram in which she made it clear there's nothing romantic going on between her and the actor.
So now the publication asked readers, "What do you think of Olivia slamming the dating rumors between her and Chris?" At no point did HollywoodLies offer a mea culpa for contributing to the rumors that the actress was slamming. And this flip-flop actually proves what Gossip Cop rightly said months ago: No one close to Pratt talks to the disreputable website about his personal life.
In the wake of his split from Faris last August, the blog spent the end of the summer and the fall claiming to have "exclusives" about him, such as one in October in which it claimed to know Pratt was "heartbroken" over Faris dating Michael Barrett. If the site really had "sources" and "insiders" close to him, as claimed in that story and ones that came before it, why didn't HollywoodLies check in with those contacts to find out if the Munn dating rumors were true?
It's clear: The publication doesn't actually have access to Pratt's world, which is why it ran with inaccurate claims and only changed the narrative because Munn spoke out. Both are owed an apology. See screengrabs below.

Headin' 'em Home
I'm ridin' the roan, as we're headin' 'em home
and they're darn sure deservin' a rest;
the work that they've done since the spring work begun,
sure sets them apart as the best.
Old Red over there and that Leo-bred mare
sure saved us that night in the storm;
they both had the speed to get in the lead
and we got 'em all back before morn.
And I'll never forget how I lost that bet
with old Shorty, the cook, on the day
that they had the big race...my horse didn't place;
Shorty won the whole thing on his bay.
But soon we'll be home and the dust'll be gone
...just as soon as we go 'round the bend;
it's sure a good thing they can rest until spring
then we'll head out together again.

On the Trail
Horses kickin' dust up on a little canyon trail
it makes this ridin' drag no welcome task
I ain't complainin' mind you, just sayin' how it is
and I just take my turn here when I'm asked
Conditions ain't that drastic, 'ceptin for the dust we make
I fear that folks can spot it quite a ways
shoulda brought 'em through here in the night time I s'pose
night's a whole lot safer than the days
I reckon wouldn't matter, if the brands were better healed
it wouldn't cause them long, suspicious stares
The owner's prob'ly lookin' for this fifty some odd head
of what sure looks like mighty well bred mares
but we gotta keep 'em movin', an' hope our luck'll hold
if we make it 'cross the border we'll be fine
Down there they ain't that fussy, if the brands are peelin' still
all we need is luck and lottsa time
But behind us I see dust trails, there's some fellers ridin' hard
you can tell they've cut our tracks now sure enough
So we gotta quit the band we got, an' ride hard for the line
'cause gettin' caught an' hung'd sure be rough

Dust 'n Tails
There's beauty in the range land
where the grassy prairies roll
and the glistening dew of morning
sends a smile right through your soul.
There's beauty in the azure sky
when the sun begins to rise
and the scope of God's great glory
brings a tear to cowboy's eyes.
It's wonderful they tell me
while trying not to brag
cause all I see are dust 'n tails
from back here riding drag.

There's nuthin' more gospel
than this you can trust,
if a man's herdin' cattle
he's bound to eat dust.
I've been there, believe me,
my face in a rag,
trailin' them critters
while ridin' at drag.
'fore the first cup of coffee
or first mornin' cuss,
my teeth are grit-coated
from breathin' that stuff.
My gear is so covered
it powders my roan,
it's there on my saddle
and the duds I have on.
I pan-wash my face
'fore I sit down to chow,
but that only 'tracts it
like flies to a cow.
I ain't had one biscuit
that don't taste of grit,
there's no way an hombre
can git used to it.
I've heard that old sayin'
"We're part of the land"
I know that's the truth
'cause I'm half-full of sand.
There's prob'bly as much
as I've swallowed inside,
as all of the rest
that still blankets my hide.
It gits neath my skin boys,
it stings in my eyes,
it grinds at me fellers
and that ain't no lie.
Ain't no way in heaven
I'll ever get clean,
til I give up this cattle
and cowpunchin' thing.
I reckon that some day
this all has to end
and I'll have to own up
to all kinds of sin.
That dust-to-dust sermon
jest save if you please,
I'll come ready-made
with a whole pile on me.

Boss says there's sixteen hundred head, but I can only see a dozen.
count of all this chokin' dust and them filthy flies a buzzin'
I shift my weight to the cantle first and then back to the horn
and curse the day that every single one of 'em was born.
I broke my thumb on the Llano when I dallied like a kid
but Cookie set it best he could and I's shore proud he did.
The I came off in the prickly pear a gatherin' fools that strayed.
Most of 'ems festered out by now but for a day or two I paid.
It rained from sundown yesterday until I took the last guard
cussin' my wet gear a wonderin', 'why's this got to be so hard?'
Then the stars started slippin' out as the clouds began to part
and my spirits sorta lifted as I commenced to sort things out.
What would town folk pay jest to see the parts I've seen?
Them mountains and deserts and the sweet grass 'long the streams.
If the cattle weren't so stupid and the trail not half a rough
they could trail 'em north with women, no need for punchers true and tough.
So tomorrow when we hit Abilene and f1nally shove 'em in the pen,
before I take my saddle and start the trip back home again,
we'll surely cut the badger loose makin' noise like punchers do,
then in the spring we'll trail 'em back up north, cause that's what cowboys do.

Waterin' Hole
Three miles from the crossin' their noses start twitchin'
Sniffin' wind and tastin' the air
And they tuck in their shirttails, retie bandanas
And run broken combs through their hair.
The ends of mustaches mysteriously curl
Though they'd drooped, sad and doleful for days
But a new festive mood's come over the crew,
And they're mendin' their woebegone ways.
No slovenly cowpoke will ride into town
They'll be rip-roaring heroes tonight
And near every buck has surely thunk through
Where they'll drink, and who they're goin' to fight.
There's rumors a piano's been hauled into Bessie's,
Though no one there knows how to play,
And they say there's some gals at the Diamond Bar D
Come in on the stage yesterday.
There's deep speculations 'bout poker hands drawn,
Some will win, some bound to fail,
On this desperate hold over at the waterin' spot
'fore they head up that long dusty trail.

Ride the Light
The dust of earth came from the Trail,
To rise and mingle with the light.
Amid its haze I heard the sounds,
Of many horses out of sight.
Their footfalls ring as iron hooves,
Thunder across the Milky Way,
And Cowboys sing the old songs,
From the Chisholm Trail today.
El vaquero mi amigo,
I sense our years are passed and done,
And feel the sadness of the land,
On our long journey towards the sun.
But there's no grief among our party,
Not this close to Heaven's sight.
We've been transformed to Cowboy Spirit,
Forever more we'll ride the Light.

Dust and Tails and Trails
We're headin' out these ol' horses like a bunch of punch-drunk snails
Mid the soft glow of the mornin' light through dust and tails and trails.
Windin' watercolors of prairie dew and the mornin' muck
Make us wonder why we're trailin' tails of horses out of luck.
Be it horses, be it cattle, seems we're always right behind,
Drawin' low cowboy wages over range and mountain sublime.
Oh, there' s jobs back in town, but not like this one out of doors--
We rise and sleep with the sun and never seem to finish chores.
Each soft sunrise and red sunset we spend upon God's blue earth,
We count simple blessin' silently and thank Him for our birth.
We're burdened with them brown beans, jerky and salt pork soon gone bad,
But ridin' with your pards and nature, we know the good we've had.
Yet though we be complainin' 'bout the hot sun, snow, rain and hails,
We'd not give up this good life midst all the dust and tails and trails.

I'll Never Ride Drag Again
I was settin' and havin' some sarsaparilla
in Drytown at Shorty's Place.
When a friend comes in, that it had been
a while since I'd seen his face.
This was along toward the end of Summer,
about three years ago.
I offered a drink, and he says, "The same.
I quit the booze, y'know."
Well, we set and jawed, and lied a bit
till' time come around for dinner.
And while we et, m'friend told a tale
that I consider a winner.
My friend, Big Ed, says he was hired
and signed on to drive a herd
from Drytown down to Gardnerville,
but was drunk when he got the word.
He understood he'd join the outfit
at dawn on the south of town.
He was up all night, but managed all right
to get some breakfast down.
When he left Shorty's, he could see the dust
of a herd on the town's east side.
He figures the trail boss had changed his plans,
so he mounts up to ride.
The outfit's movin' when he catches up,
and he's told to just ride drag.
Now this was one of them real dry years,
with dust that'd make you gag.
But Ed, he figures, well, he's come late,
so he'll just do what he's told.
He don't like ridin' at the back of the herd,
but he can use that twenty in gold.
They ride all day, and camp when it's dark,
and he's told to ride circle that night.
Which means he still won't get no sleep,
but he says he can do it all right.
So he circles the herd the whole night long,
and sees no one he knows.
He figures he's drunk when he hires on,
so this is just how it goes.
Bein' a new hand, he keeps to his self,
and tries not to make no fuss.
But when they head out, he's again ridin' drag,
and is almost ready to cuss.
"But well," he says, "I guess it seemed right
for showin' up late for the job."
He covers his face, and he makes a noise,
that's maybe a laugh or a sob.
They ride into Gardnerville late that night,
the dust settles and the trip is through.
When he gets to the front of the line to be paid
the trail boss says, "Who're you?"
Big Ed says, "My mouth dropped open,
'cause I'd never met this man."
I says, "Where's Jack Kelly, who hired me on
before this ride began?"
The trail boss says, "Why Kelly's bunch
is still about thirty miles out.
If you was supposed to be ridin' with him,
you missed 'im without a doubt."
Ed says, "I swallered, and says, well, sir,
I admit no deal was made.
But I done ever'thing that I was told,
and I really would like to get paid."
The trail boss says, "This is one for the books!"
And he's laughing like he's fit to bust.
"How come you missed Kelly and rode with us?"
And I says, "It's that dad-blamed dust!"
Ed says he took the half-pay offered,
'cause he had too much to lose.
But he says that then's when he took the oath
to give up drinkin' the booze.
We set there quiet, sippin' sasparilla,
till Ed stands up and then
says, "I didn't give up the drivin' of cattle,
but I'll never ride drag again."

Movin' High to Low
In the dust of day I ponder,
saddle sweatin' 'neath my seat:
this life of mine's a wonder;
this life of mine's a treat.
With miles before us windin',
through passes on the way;
evenin' light will be a findin'
us left with once more day.
Sam at point's a leadin',
Pete 'n Slim are in the sag;
and me just intercedin'
with Charlie in the drag.
A hundred head a travelin'
from the high ground to the low;
with dark clouds a ravelin'
into threat of early snow.
It's a Godly sight befallin'
them of us who trail the herd;
when darkness comes a callin',
and dead of night is shared.
Got to move with speed a steady,
rollin' down these rocky slopes;
pointed toward corrals a ready
to accomodate our hopes.
Seein' bunkhouse smoke a curlin'
in our minds like some reprieve,
we settle in the night herd,
takin' turns 'til mornin' leave.
When daylight comes a breakin',
and our leathers creak and groan;
the mind sets to takin'
our final push for home.
There ain't nothin' like a roundup,
over land still void and free;
and there ain't nothin' like the sound of
this horse a trotin' under me.
And I wouldn't trade one campfire
for all the houses ever raised;
this old cowboy stays in hire
'til he's rode out his last day.

Hold'n On
Dust 'n tails, the year's been awfully dry
Worn out and tired we've still got'a try
To keep it together cuz that is our way
Ranchers trust the Maker for a better day.
Surely this winter we'll get rain or snow
The dams will fill and the creeks they'll flow.
Spring will bring on the grass near belly deep
A good crop of calves, replacements to keep.
If the snow's not too deep and hay will last
Next year the drou't is a thing of the past.
Family stays healthy and bank don't for'close
We'll stay in the buggy 'n smell like a rose.
Winter was long and the fall calves got sick
Old Arthors visit was darn hard to lick.
Grass is a grow'n, new calves hit the ground
Spring's on the way, it's all come'n round.
Start'n the colts and fix'n the ditches
Watch'n the young'uns keeps us in stitches.
As always we're made to answer the call
We're hold'n on till we trail home this fall.

Cattle Call
We took time by the forelock
as we pushed on the rangy stock.
The knot-haired tails and swirling dust
were enough to make a preacher cuss.
I rode drag, bringing up the rear
to round up any straggling steer.
I was riding one of the big red roans
who's accustomed to heading up rawbones.
Dirt and grime permeated our clothes.
I tied a bandana over my mouth and nose.
My chaps and duster were fully covered
as the suspended particles hovered.
The gritty powder hung everywhere.
Anxiety increased to inhale fresh air.
My breath was like an asthma wheeze
as I failed to suppress sneeze after sneeze.
The incessant wind blew blustery gusts,
sending up funnels of whirlwind dust.
I'm wondering what I am doing here,
following a bunch of ornery steers.
In retrospect, why did I contrive
to even make this cattle drive?
The reasoning behind this long haul
is the ageless lure of the cattle call.

Damn Dust
The damn dust gets in everything,
In hair and teeth and eyes,
On jeans and hats and boots and spurs,
But it makes you realize
At day's end when you broom it off
Before you go inside
To hunt a bowl of water
For to wash it off your hide
That dust is just another sign
Of a day's work now complete
And it means you got the job done
And it means you didn't cheat.

I get more email on this operation than anything else to do with my Rubik's cube solution. This is a more detailed explanation. First let me reprint one version of the operation for reference:
If the two cubelets are on adjacent edges, hold them at UF and UR and do:R- D2- R* D2* R- U- R D2* R* D2 R U
It helps to break the operation down into logical parts:
1. {R- D2-} I think of this as "move the UR cubelet down into the middle slab, and slide it sideways out from in between the two corners that surround it (the 'corner-mates')".
2. {R* D2*} "Move the corner-mates around to the back, then move the UR cubelet all the way around the cube, back in between them." The result of doing this is that the cubelet has been straightened out (flipped) with respect to its corner-mates.
3. {R-} "Put the UR cubelet, and its corner-mates, back up on top where they belong."
Now this UR cubelet is happy, but mass destruction has been caused on the layers below. The remaining moves (or just step 5, depending on your perspective) do basically the same stuff in reverse, with a different top cubelet, accomplishing two things: 1) this other top cubelet is flipped; 2) all the mayhem below is fixed.
4. {U-} "Move a different top cubelet into place."
5. {R D2* R* D2 R} "Exact reverse of steps 3, 2, 1."
6. {U} "Reverse of step 4."
Note that the only difference between the two options for this move in my solution are steps 4 and 6 here -- the ones that determine which cubelet along with UR will be flipped.

— Boulder's solemn monologue, It's a Whole New World (FeralFront RP)
You may be looking for his powers or his RP counterpart.
Credit to my good friend Sir Moneybags for the art! :)
Boulder the Lycanroc is a character appearing in The Legend of Fox the Brave. He is a male Dusk Forme Lycanroc serving as a main character and occasional POV of the series. He is a close friend of Austin Smith and Storm the Buizel, as well as a mentor figure to Lucky Smith and Tundra Smith(when Lucky is kidnapped) during Rise of Ruin. He is currently the second-in-command of Lucky's Resistance, helping to guide Lucky and Tundra whenever they feel stressed about the leadership. A new remake story, called The First Battle, shows a little more of his dynamic with Austin early into their friendship, given that it overhauls much of the series' old lore.
Unknown(as Lycanroc)
Unknown(as Lycanroc)
Lucas(adopted father)
Lycus(adopted brother)
Nick and Luca(nephews)
Aria the Zoroark(daughter-in-law)
Hope the Rockruff(adopted granddaughter)
Shade the Zorua(adopted grandson)
Flame the Litten(adopted grandson)
The Megastone Rogues(formerly)
The Storm Fighters(currently)
Tough Claws(as Lycanroc)
Crunch(as Rockruff and Lycanroc)
Stone Edge(as Lycanroc)
Accelerock(as Lycanroc)
As Rockruff: Boulder resembles a short non-anthropomorphic puppy with tan fur, a brown muzzle, and paws, brown-tipped floppy ears, bright blue eyes, and a pink nose. He has a white mane with rocks in it, and an inward-curling, bushy white tail and a white belly.
As Lycanroc: As Dusk Lycanroc, Boulder greatly resembles a Midday Lycanroc, but with a few obvious key differences. These are that he has orange fur, green eyes(that turn red when angry), and a much longer and thicker, mane. Boulder is rather stocky, and noticeably large for a Dusk, possibly due to his age and experience. He also has a battle-scarred pelt, and a scar slicing across his nose.
As Rockruff: Boulder is a kind-hearted, friendly soul. He is eager and innocent with a deep love for his father Finnick, who greatly contrasts from the usual portrayal of Midnight Lycanroc in the series.
As Lycanroc: Boulder is stern, firm and calm, but has a surprisingly short temper. When angered, especially in battle or when his friends or family are threatened, Boulder's eyes will become red and he will become almost feral with rage. He is very hard to calm down like this.
Before the Series: Boulder was born to the Poni Island Moon Pack(a Pack of Midnight Lycanroc) as the son of Finnick and his former mate Luna. Finnick already wasn't very liked in his Pack because he had more of a Midday Lycanroc's personality rather than that of a Midnight Lycanroc. When Boulder was young, Luna left and Finnick was driven from the Pack because of his reluctance to be savage in any way. The Pack leader chose to raise Boulder as his own purely to spite Finnick and teach the young pup to be savage. However, Boulder had apparently inherited his father's personality, and chose to go with Lucas when the Midday Lycanroc chose to join The Storming Alliance. Later, when Finnick joined, Lucas let him be with his true father, but Boulder continued to allow Lucas to be his adopted father.
Search for the Lost Warriors: Boulder is first seen near the edge of Lamarkie Forest, playing with Cody. When Lucas hears Lycus growling, he hurries over to block the antagonistic Midnight Lycanroc's Stone Edge attack by crouching over him and Cody with them under his belly. Later, while thinking to himself, Lucas considers Boulder more his kin than Lycus.
The Dusk Wolf: See The Dusk Wolf.
Return of Evil: See Return of Evil.
Shadows of Vengeance: See Shadows of Vengeance.
The Heart of a Warrior: Boulder serves as one of the POVs.
Main Article: Boulder the Lycanroc/Powers
Boulder's currently known moves are Crunch (attack), Counter, Stone Edge, and Accelerock.
As of Return of Evil, Boulder can use the Z-Move Continental Crush, coming off of either Stone Edge or Accelrrock. As of Storm of Warriors, he can use the exclusive Z-Move Splintered Stormshards.
Boulder has the power of foresight, a rare power granted only to Dusk Lycanroc, but is rare even there. This power allows Boulder to have sporadic visions that show him the past, present, or future, but he cannot do it on command. Additionally, it grants him a limited ability to sense people's feelings, as well as walk in dreams. But for the latter, he cannot do it on command, and must be directly touching someone as well as asleep himself.
Boulder's Ability as Rockruff is unknown, but is possibly Own Tempo, as in the Pokémon video games, that is the required Ability for a Rockruff to evolve into Dusk Lycanroc.
As Lycanroc, Boulder's Ability is Tough Claws, giving him a boost to all his attacks that make contact.
Like Midday Lycanroc, Boulder is very swift, but also has a ferocious fighting style similar to a Midnight. He also has incredible endurance like all Rock-Types, and can deal back twice as much damage as he was dealt via Counter.
Being a Rock-Type, Boulder is weak to Water, Ground, Fighting, and Steel-Type Pokemon.
Austin Smith
Boulder is close friends with Austin, often helping calm him down, as well as the other way around. The two are often seen battling together, and Boulder is Austin's Pokemon Partner of choice. They choose to use their Z-Moves together. However, Austin's stubbornness means their friendship sometimes ends up on the rocks.
Michael Smith
Boulder knew Michael, but wasn't as close friends with him as he was with Austin. Still, he grieved Michael's death with Austin.
Storm the Buizel
Like with Austin, Boulder is good friends with Storm. They often play or train together, and Storm is Boulder's choice for a stand-in deputy when Boulder himself is forced to lead.
Finnick the Midnight Lycanroc
Finnick is Boulder's biological father, and they care deeply for each other. Boulder's friendly, childish personality as a Rockruff somewhat mirrors his father's kind and soft-hearted personality.
Lucas the Midday Lycanroc
Sometime before his debut in the series, Boulder was adopted by Lucas when the older Midday Lycanroc took him away from the Poni Moon Pack and became his adoptive father. When Finnick joined The Megastone Rogues to be with his son, Lucas let Boulder be with his biological father, but Boulder still considers him a father.
Dawn the Lycanroc
Boulder and Dawn are mates and love each other deeply. They have friendly arguments often, and are shown to support each other.
Sunny the Lycanroc
Sunny is the daughter and older child of Boulder and Dawn, and loves her parents and brother. It's possible her own fiery attitude is inherited from her father.
Pebble the Lycanroc
Pebble is the son and younger child of Boulder and Dawn. While Pebble is more timid than his fiery sister, he still loves his family, including his adopted children and his own mate. Pebble was given Crunch's old name.
Crunch the Lycanroc
Initially, Crunch and Boulder did not like each other and argued a lot, but a mistake on Crunch's part eventually put their relationship on the mend, and they became good friends. They are brothers-in-law, but refer to each other as "brother" sometimes.
Dr. Finitevus
Because of Finitevus' crimes, Boulder initially simply disliked him. This only worsened over the years, as Michael was killed and various other events happened that were caused by Finitevus
Lucky and Tundra Smith
Being a close friend of their adopted father Austin, Boulder loved to look after the two as pups, and still does, in a way. While Lucky and Tundra lead the Storm Fighters together, Boulder is their deputy and helps guide them and provide advice if either of them are troubled.
Dr. Starline
Boulder has a strong hatred for Starline, similar to his own of Finitevus. It is because of Starline that Phoenix and Murtagh were brainwashed, and Austin and Max were captured. Starline has expressed interest in Boulder's powers, but not to the point that he is obsessed with capturing him as well.
Finnick the Lycanroc-Father
Luna the Lycanroc-Mother
Lucas the Lycanroc-Adopted father
Sora the Lycanroc-Adopted mother
Finnick the Lycanroc-Adopted brother
Dawn the Lycanroc-Mate
Crunch the Lycanroc-Brother-in-law
Skye the Lycanroc-Sister-in-law(Skye is Crunch's mate)

- ""Get out. We're finished here.". He bent his head to grab Sunny's scruff in his jaws, and when he lifted his head again, he was startled to see Finitevus barely inches from his face. The big warrior took a step back and Finitevus sneered, "Don't count on it, Boulder. We're far from finished with each other." Boulder's mane bristled when he saw Finitevus' mocking yellow stare slide down to Sunny, who whimpered."
- —Finitevus and Boulder, Storm of Darkness
Boulder is the first pre-existing character that was confirmed to evolve into a Dusk Lycanroc, the second is Sunny, though she evolved off-screen. There are three other Dusk Lycanroc characters confirmed for the series, but never appeared as Rockruff.
- Crunch, a male, was originally designed as a Midday Lycanroc working alongside Havoc the Jolteon at Slash and Hearth's farm
- However, Crunch was later shown as a Rockruff in Hidden Motives
- Dawn, a female, is Boulder's mate, and was constantly bothered by her brother Crunch's overprotectiveness until the other Lycanroc ran off.
- However, Dawn was later shown as a Rockruff in Hidden Motives
- Dusk, a male, is the very first Dusk Lycanroc and was confirmed to be Boulder and subsequently Sunny's ancestor.
Boulder's powers are greatly inspired by those of the character Goosefeather from the Warriors book series, specifically the e-book novella Goosefeather's Curse, which explore his powers.
The scene from the Quote above(from Storm of Darkness) is a reference to a similar scene from the 1998 animated Disney movie The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, the direct-to-video sequel to its smash-hit predecessor, The Lion King.

Tim Sykes seems to be someone people either love or hate. He is upfront and straightforward with his opinions, which is why I asked him to contribute to the FAQs book. That doesn't mean I always agree with him.  His 5 Reasons Penny Stock Trading Obliterates Forex Trading is a case in point.
Tim Says: The unlimited profit potential in the hugely liquid and leveraged forex market is pure marketing and deception, designed to lure the most desperate and greediest people into playing a game where the odds of success are very low similar to playing the lottery.
I won't disagree that the marketers have a field day going after new traders by trying to hook them in on the big profit potential. The forex market does offer opportunities to small traders in ways most other markets don't, but I definitely could do without the sales pitch I see a lot of brokers and system markets putting out there. It's worth noting, though, that penny stocks have at least as bad a track record here, and a much longer one at that. I'm not suggesting penny stocks should be avoided. I'm just saying that both markets have been subject to some shady operators taking advantage of people.
As for the odds being similar to the lottery, that's pure hyperbole.
Tim Says: Because Forex is so liquid and leveraged, those who succeed are the smartest, richest and most well informed people on the planet, aka George Soros and his friends.
Tim's big point here seems to be those who attempt to manipulate the penny stock market are idiots, but the big players in forex are super smart. Tim has a strategy for trading penny stocks that works against the manipulators, and it's one he's had considerable success with over the years. I won't challenge him on that part of the equation. As for forex, though, the very size and liquidity of the market makes the sort of manipulation Tim feeds on in the penny stocking world a much less workable prospect. Besides, I hold the view that an individual trader need not play in the same pool as the big boys, and can be at least as intelligent and informed where longer timeframes are concerned.
Tim Says: Forex prices move very quickly and the reaction to breaking news happens within seconds and minutes.
That's true for any market these days, but Tim is trying to make the point that the manipulation in penny stocks which he plays off takes time to build up. I'd argue that the good trends in forex trading also take time to develop. No need to be playing in the short timeframes where news has a significant impact if one doesn't want to do so.
Tim Says:Â Penny stocks are simpler. While forex prices gyrate wildly due to rumors, news and those anticipating the rumors and news, volatile penny stock chart patterns are truly straight up and then straight down with very little variation.
Hah! As if penny stocks don't react just as wildly to rumors and news. In fact, on a straight up % change basis they move WAY more than forex rates do (see Looking at Volatility Across Markets).
Also, forex traders don't need to worry about pattern day trader rules and have no constraints against taking short positions.
Tim Says:Â Â Penny stocks have greater odds of success.
First, this is a meaningless statement without the figures (on both sides) to back it up. Second, as I've repeatedly noted, win % is only part of the performance equation, and not a determinent of it by itself. Tim mentions a 75% win rate for the types of trades he does, but I can demonstrate how even that win % doesn't mean a winning system – and that's not even talking about risk management.
My bottom line has always been that traders need to trade the market that suits them best. For some that will be penny stocks. For others it will be forex. I certainly have a professional interest in the foreign exchange market, but I don't think it's inherently better than the one for penny stocks, or vice versa.

Editor's Opinion
300% Green Hosting = Best Eco-Friendly Hosting
GreenGeeks eco-friendly policy is truly top of its class. We have never seen any other web hosting company is doing more than 300% green. Given the fact that the company is run by experienced management with more than 15 years of industry experience and the company has been around long enough to prove that it's not some fly-by-night web host riding on the 'green label' – We strongly believe GreenGeeks is the #1 green hosting choice.
GreenGeeks User Reviews
I signed up for GreenGeeks after believing their tall claims bout customer service, novelty and uptime. But unfortunately only the novelty claim proved to be true. GreenGeeks is a novel hosting service because the service is powered by wind energy and is 300% eco-friendly in nature. While it claims 99.9% uptime the reality is nowhere close to the figure. The lesser we speak about it the better it is for this review. Also, the customer service provided by GreenGeek falls short of expectations. The response time is too long drawn and the solution provided to a problem is not always permanent. While the service offered is reliable to a large extent, once there is a problem customer service levels are pathetic leading customers to a lot of heartburn and frustration. So I would not recommend customers to avoid this as far as possible.
GreenGeeks hosting is a novel hosting service because the service is powered by wind energy and is 300% eco-friendly in nature. Though GreenGeeks scores in the area of novelty, it fails miserable in the ore area of hosting service. Having used this service personally, I feel GreenGeeks spends more time advertising itself than offering real service to its customers. It claims 99.9% up time whereas the real figure is not even somewhere close to it. Another major drawback with GreenGeeks is that the customer service offered is not up to the mark. Customer service does not live up to the expectations and the response time is pathetic. While the service offered is reliable to some extent, once there is a problem customer service levels are pathetic leading customers to a lot of heartburn and frustration. So I would recommend customers to stay away from this service as far as possible.

THOMPSON, Conn. (WTNH) – A Thompson man has been arrested for providing heroin to a woman who died from an overdose in Thompson in October.
State Police have charged 39-year-old David Gagnon with one count of sale of narcotics.
State Police say on October 20th a woman was found unresponsive in a parked car on Brandy Hill Road near the Thompson Rod and Gun Club. She was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
During an investigation police were able to determine that she had used heroin prior to her death and identified Gagnon as a suspect. Police applied for an arrest warrant for him and he turned himself in at Troop D in Danielson Thursday morning to face the charges.

Finishing Strong: Taking the Hill kindles evangelistic fervor
FORT WORTH, Texas (SWBTS) – Professors are witnessing a surge of evangelistic passion on the campus of Southwestern Seminary, following the seminary's Sept. 7 emphasis on its "Taking the Hill" initiative.
After chapel on Sept. 7, students and faculty members filled the rotunda in front of Truett Auditorium in order to pick up assignments for "Taking the Hill," an initiative designed to share the Gospel to the nearly 6,700 households within a one-mile radius of Southwestern.
During the week, students and faculty members reached out to more than 2,000 households in the community, leaving only a few hundred houses to be visited in order to complete the campaign. Many students remained undeterred despite the rain to take the Gospel to the community immediately. Other students have participated in "Taking the Hill" numerous times since Sept. 7.
Matt Queen, assistant professor of evangelism, said he has heard numerous reports of how God is bringing people in the community to faith.
"We are observing a fresh fire for evangelism on our campus this semester," Queen said. "Historically, the contagious and spontaneous practice of evangelism among students has indicated evidence of a movement of God upon a campus. I believe we are observing the emergence of such a movement at Southwestern Seminary. More and more students are intentionally meeting together multiple times a week to pray for the lost and then evangelize them."
David Mills, assistant professor of evangelism, shared in this excitement.
"'Taking the Hill' has proven to be one of the most effective and thrilling evangelistic efforts any institution has undertaken," Mills said. "Christlike professors and faith-filled students have gone with Christ through south Fort Worth and blazed a trail of evangelism. It is growing increasingly difficult to find anyone on the campus who does not care about evangelism.
"Due to this effort, the dreams of Carroll, Scarborough, Autrey and Fish are being realized in this student body and faculty. I am so excited that I can barely catch my breath, and I cannot wait to see what will happen next. It is a great day to be a Southwesterner."
Groups of students and professors continue to go into the neighborhoods around the seminary to share the Gospel.
