Critical message for young people facing homophobic bullying
Stonewall has launched a new campaign reassuring gay school pupils that they don't have to wait for things to get better in their lives – they can be great now. In Britain we have partnership rights, the right to serve in the military and the right to have children. Our government is committed to tackling homophobic bullying and many schools, supported by Stonewall's Education for All campaign, are taking bold steps to do just that.
A series of clips have already been filmed and are at www.stonewall.org.uk/itgetsbettertoday. Newsreader Jane Hill and MP Diane Abbott are among those who will be filming clips for the campaign in the next 48 hours and anyone can add their own by making a video response to those uploaded at: www.youtube.com/stonewalluk or contacting firstname.lastname@example.com
Supporting the campaign, writer Sarah Waters said: 'If you're experiencing homophobic bullying, Stonewall can help you. Schools across the country now have their 'Some people are gay. Get over it!' posters and a range of Stonewall materials to help them tackle the issue head-on. So teachers have no more excuses for tolerating homophobic bullying, and schools no longer have to be scary places for lesbian, gay and bisexual young people. Things are getting better – right now.'
The films build on a new US campaign featuring people from school teachers to Barack and Michelle Obama telling lesbian, gay and bisexual young people that things will eventually get better. Ben Summerskill, Chief Executive of Stonewall said 'At Stonewall we now work with hundreds of schools and employers who are making sure things do get better for gay people, right away. Working together, we can make it happen.'

Thank you guys, I wouldn't have done that without help and advices.

7 Takeout Nightmares
7 Takeout Nightmares
These dialed-up dinners arent doing your butt any favors with their high calorie counts and excess fat. Here are 7 takeout dishes to ditch and their healthier homemade counterparts
Takeout seems like a fast and easy solution when youre in a pinch, but make it a habit and youll quickly pack on the poundsnot to mention empty out your wallet. These takeout staples are packed with calories, loaded with fat, and often come in oversized portions, a triple play that can quickly result in weight gain. Cross these 7 items off your mental take-out menu for good, and replace them with our satisfying make-at-home alternatives.
Pad Thai with Tofu
The word tofu makes it sound wholesome, but dont be fooled by this greasy dish. One serving of this vegetarian-friendly Thai standby is 750 calories and 23 grams of fat. Thats more fat and calories than 2 slices of cheese pizza.
Make this instead: Cashew, Tofu, and Broccoli Stir-Fry
This tasty tofu option boasts almost half the calories of the takeout dish and just one tablespoon of oil. Cashews add a satisfying crunch, and honey and soy sauce mimic the sweet-and-salty flavors of pad Thai. Best of all, it only takes 20 minutes to make--less time than youd spend waiting for delivery!
1 container (14 ounces) firm light tofu
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 cups broccoli florets
3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup unsalted cashews
3 scallions, chopped
2 cups cooked brown rice
Place the tofu on a paper towel set on a dinner plate.
Top with a second paper towel and another dinner plate. Place a can or other
similar weight on the upper plate and leave for 20 minutes to press excess water
from the tofu
Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
Combine the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, and cornstarch in a small bowl
Add the broccoli to the boiling water, return to a boil, and cook for 1 minute, or until bright green. Drain and set aside
Transfer the tofu to a cutting board and cut into 1/2" to 3/4" cubes. Heat 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly golden. Transfer the tofu to a plate and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the skillet. Add the pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Stir in the broccoli and tofu, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, or until hot. Stir the soy sauce mixture to recombine and add to the skillet along with the cashews. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the scallions. Serve over the rice.
Taco Salad
You might think any meal with the word salad in it must be virtuous, but when the salad bowl is a giant tortilla chip, the health value plummets. Add cheese, sour cream, and a hefty helping of beef to the greens, and that taco salad can easily pack 860 calories and 46 grams of fat. Iceberg lettuce and a tomato or two do little to counter the damage done by this takeout tragedy.
Make this instead: Chicken Soft Tacos with Tangy Guacamole
This chicken tacos recipe from Rick Bayless has more flavor, more nutrition, and half the calories. Sprinkle on serrano chile peppers for a kick of metabolism-boosting heat, and savor the creamy guacamole while getting a dose of good-for-you monounsaturated fats. Top off the tacos with a squeeze of lime juice, and enjoy guilt-free.
1/4 C plus 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, halved
2 sm serrano chile peppers or 1 sm jalapeno, halved
1/2 C loosely packed cilantro
1/3 C freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 tsp salt, divided
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 lb)
1 lg white onion, sliced 1/4" thick
2 ripe hass avocados
12 corn tortillas (6" size)
Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chile peppers and cook, stirring frequently, until just brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Process with cilantro, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and black pepper in blender or food processor until smooth.
Put chicken in shallow dish and spread half the garlic mixture over all sides of chicken.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden but still slightly crunchy, about 5 minutes. Chop enough of the onion to make 1/4 cup and set aside. Put rest of onion on a plate. Save the skillet.
Peel and pit avocados and put flesh in a bowl. Add reserved chopped onion, remaining garlic mixture, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Coarsely mash with potato masher or fork.
Return skillet to medium heat and add remaining tablespoon oil. Lift each breast and let excess marinade drip off. Discard extra marinade. Add chicken to hot pan and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Brown on one side, about 5 minutes, then flip and finish cooking, 3 or 4 minutes longer. Remove to cutting board. Put reserved sliced onion in the skillet to reheat. Scrape up any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on high 1 minute. Remove paper towels and keep tortillas warm. Cut chicken across the grain into 1/4" slices and toss with onion in pan. Serve with tortillas and guacamole.
Chicken Alfredo
Using up nearly three-quarters of your daily calories while providing pretty much zero nutrients, chicken Alfredo is one of the worst carry-out meals you can pick up from your local Italian restaurant. At a whopping 1,440 calories and 82 grams of fat, this creamy, cheesy, buttery mess will set your diet back for days.
Make this instead: Loaded Alfredo with Chicken and Vegetables
Our lighter version cuts the calories by more than half and ends up with 15 grams of fatnot bad for something this rich and creamy. Add in sun-dried tomatoes, broccoli, and mushrooms to up the feel-full fiber content of this dish. Serve yourself a small portion and round it out with a side salad for a balanced comfort food dinner.
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp flour
3 cups 2% milk
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons grated parmesan
salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups bite-size broccoli florets
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup chopped sundried tomatoes
8 oz cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced (store-bought rotisserie chicken works well)
12 oz whole-wheat fettuccine
To make the bechamel, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour. Cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk to prevent any lumps from forming. Add the garlic and simmer, whisking often, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until nicely thickened. Stir in the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables have lightly caramelized. Stir in the chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Return the pasta to the pot, add the sauce and the chicken mixture, and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the pasta water to thin it. Serve immediately.
Fried Chicken Wings
Any food served in a bucket probably wouldnt win nutrition points from your dietitian, but if you think eating a few small wings instead of legs or thighs wont weigh you down, think again. Each fried chicken wing contains an average of 100 calories and 7 grams of fat, making this appetizer a diet disaster. Dunk a few wings in blue cheese dressing and youll be approaching your allotted fat for the day.
Make this instead: Fiery Buffalo Wings
Grilling or oven-roasting your wings cuts fat significantly; it's also easier, cheaper (no quart of oil for frying), and (especially on the grill) tastier. Serve these spicy wings at your next game-watching party, and you won't feel bad about reaching for another. Want Asian-style wings? Simply sub in 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce for the hot sauce and follow the rest of the recipe.
2 lb chicken wings (preferably a mix of wing segments and drummettes)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp chili powder
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp hot sauce (Frank's Red Hot is best)
juice of 1 lemon
1 cup plain Greek-style yogurt
2 tbsp crumbled blue cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Celery sticks (optional)
Alternate Want Asian-style wings? Simply sub in 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce for the hot sauce and follow the rest of the recipe.
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Toss the chicken with the salt, pepper, and chili powder and arrange on a baking sheet. Roast until the skin is lightly blistered and the meat is cooked all the way through, about 15 minutes.
Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet or saute pan and add the hot sauce and half of the lemon juice. Remove the wings from the oven and add directly to the hot pan, tossing to thoroughly coat every piece in the sauce.
Mix the yogurt, blue cheese, and remaining lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the wings and the celery (if using) with the blue cheese sauce on the side for dipping.
Indian Curry Pork Vindaloo
Indian food tends to consist of chickpeas and vegetables, so it's a good healthy option, right? Not if the veggies and meat are buried in fatty curry sauce. Pork vindaloo can have 620 calories and 47 grams of fatand thats without basmati rice and bread its often served with. Most other creamy curries pack loads of fat, too.
Try Instead: Lime Biryani
Our Indian recipe proves that you dont need a creamy sauce to have a flavorful, exotic dish. The fresh, clean taste of lime juice pops against curry powder for a healthy meal that packs a zesty punch. And with quinoa, almonds, and chickpeasall healthy proteinsthis dish is as filling as it is interesting.
2 limes
1 C dry quinoa
1 1/4 C water
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 tsp curry seasoning
3/4 tsp salt
10 oz shredded carrots
1 C no-salt-added canned chickpeas, or garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 C thinly sliced scallions
1/4 C sliced almonds, toasted
1/4 C dried currants or golden raisins
3/8 tsp pepper
Zest or finely grate one lime to produce 1 1/2 teaspoons zest, then juice both limes.
In a saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons lime juice, quinoa, water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, curry seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until quinoa turns transparent and liquid is absorbed. Cool and place in a large bowl.
Add carrots, chickpeas, scallions, almonds, and currants. Toss.
In a small bowl, combine remaining 3 tablespoons lime juice, zest, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 38 teaspoon pepper; whisk until well blended. Pour over quinoa mixture and toss. Divide evenly into four salad bowls.
Makes four servings.
Chicken and Broccoli
This classic Chinese restaurant combo sounds like it would be low in calories, but what could be a healthy dish is usually derailed by too much brown sauce and oil. Chicken and broccoli from your favorite Chinese place can come with 660 calories and 26 grams of fat. Have it with a side of fried rice or lo mein noodles and your light dinner gets even fattier.
Make this instead: Turkey and Broccoli with Couscous
Instead of greasy takeout, treat yourself to a meal packed with filling protein and flavor, with less than one gram of fat per serving. Skinless turkey cutlets are paired with fluffy couscous and veggies for an Asian-inspired meal without the calories of Chinese fast food.
1/4 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons chopped yellow onion
pinch of ground black pepper
1/2 pound boneless, skinless turkey cutlets, rinsed, dried, and sliced into 2" strips
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 cup low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup couscous
Coat a deep skillet with cooking spray. Wipe away any excess spray with a paper towel. Heat the skillet over medium heat.
Add the bell pepper, onion, and black pepper and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until the onion is slightly translucent
Add the turkey and sage. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add the broth and broccoli. Bring to a boil for 1 minute
Stir in the couscous
Cover the skillet and remove from the heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the couscous has absorbed all of the broth. Stir and serve.
Chicken Quesadilla
You might think a quesadilla is healthy because its wrapped up in a thin tortillaat least it's low-carb, right? Despite their flat shape, quesadillas are full of fat and are high in calories. One 13-inch dish might have 980 calories and 55 grams of fat. No amount of low-calorie chunky salsa will redeem this cheesy disaster.
Make this instead: Asparagus Quesadillas
Dont be skeptical of a dish that replaces gobs of cheese with asparaguswe promise its still tasty! These little vegetarian quesadilla sandwiches still have enough Monterey jack cheese to satisfy your comfort food cravings with only 9 grams of fat. Have them with beans and brown rice for a complete meal, or serve them up alongside healthy grilled fish or chicken.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 pound asparagus spears, trimmed, cut into 2" pieces, and lightly steamed
6 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
6 flour tortillas
1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1 cup green or red salsa
6 cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
Alternate Replace the asparagus with green beans or bell pepper strips.
To make the asparagus filling: In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, and pepper. Stir for 1 minute.
Add the asparagus, tomatoes, and cilantro. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until the flavors are blended. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
To assemble the quesadillas: Divide the asparagus filling among the tortillas, positioning it on one half of each. Sprinkle with the Monterey Jack. Fold the tortillas in half.
Clean the skillet and coat it with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Add 2 tortillas and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until golden. Press with a spatula to flatten slightly. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
To serve, cut each quesadilla in half and top with the salsa, tomatoes, and cilantro.Life is God's gift to you......what you do with your life is your gift to God.

Colorado Rapids vs. Portland Timbers – March 22, 2014
Dick's Sporting Goods Park, Commerce City, Colo.
Post-Game Quotes
Pablo Mastroeni, Colorado Rapids Head Coach
On Vicente's play and his future:
I think Vicente is a very important player for this team as well. He's an experienced player, he has a lot of things that most guys in that locker room don't, which is international experience. And that comes with age and your travels and I think he brings a wealth of camaraderie as well. He's a great teammate and he's good for me to have and communicate some of the ideas to the guys. He can change the game in one play like he's done in the last couple of games and this is another great piece to build on.
On what he was looking for from the players before the penalty kicks:
What I wanted was for the guys to push a bit higher and really take the game to them. Altitude is a big advantage for us and we want to utilize that. And I think in the 65th, 70th minute we really want to press their backs, make them feel the air and get momentum going our way.
On the team's start to the game:
At home we want to make this place difficult [for other teams] to come play and that's about a mentality. And we've been really harping on that the last couple of weeks and it was good for the guys to get their first game and really come out of the gates strong. I think for the first 15-20 minutes we did a good job of keeping the ball. And I think that mindset is going to carry on next week as well.
On Dillon Powers and his play:
Dillon is still trying to find his fitness. I think every week he's showing more and more of his form from last year. He's a guy that we're really counting on to be special and I think today his two plays that he set up were just that. And it's a good performance for him to build on.
On what he saw on the penalties:
If the referee calls it, whatever it is it is. I'm not qualified to make any kind of- I can't override any calls. I can't take them away. I don't waste my energy commenting on the refs, whether they're for or against us. My focus is purely on what we need to do as a team to continue on the path and improve every game.
John Berner, Colorado Rapids goalkeeper
On his first home match and first shutout:
It feels great. Obviously we wanted to build off of last week's performance. And the home opener, it was a great atmosphere. The conditions weren't ideal but I thought the team fought through and thought we had a good performance.
On preparing for adverse conditions:
You just kinda go out there and deal with it. You don't think about it, you try not to let it get to you. You just kinda go out and perform and mentally really stay focused in.
On whether winning in Mastroeni's debut adds to the experience:
Yeah, you know, definitely. I thought it was pretty cool that this was his home debut, his first win. For sure, I think it's pretty cool.
On whether he expected to get opportunities this early in his career:
I don't think I expected it but as a goalkeeper, you always have to be ready. You never know what could happen. I think that's exactly what happened to Clint last year. You always have to be ready and if the opportunity comes, you have to take it.
On battling Clint Irwin for the starting job next weekend:
Every day in training, you just try and make yourself better and you try to make Sharpe's and Pablo's decision as hard as possible. I think I've performed well and I think the team's performed well these last couple games so we'll see what happens.
On the advice he gets from Irwin:
Looking at Clint's situation last year, it's quite similar to my situation this year. I'm always trying to ask for little details, just to pick up any help I can from him.
On coming straight from college and being around so many other young players:
It's pretty cool. Once I got drafted here, I realized that Colorado is perfectly fine with playing young players. You look at Dillon Powers, Deshorn Brown, and look at the year they had last year, including Clint Irwin, I think it's just a testament that young guys can play in this league. You just have to give them the opportunity.
Vicente Sánchez, Colorado Rapids forward
On not feeling the cold when you win the game:
Sí, es muy frio, estuvo muy difícil el partido. Portland es un rival difícil. Contento por el triunfo, y a seguir trabajar.
[Yes, it's very cold, and it was a very difficult game. Portland is a tough rival. Happy to get the win, and to keep working.]
On it being an unconventional game:
Fue un partido muy cerrado. Lo importante son los tres puntos. Iremos mejorando, recién arranca el torneo, de a poco vamos conociendo la idea futbolística de Pablo [Mastroeni]. Estamos muy contentos asique esperemos el próximo partido ganar igual.
[It was a very tight game. The most important thing is the three points. We're getting better, and the season just started, and we're getting to know Pablo's style of soccer. We're very happy and now we're hoping to win the next game as well.]
On playing an attacking style:
Es importante para nosotros que el equipo presiona arriba. Estamos felices por el triunfo, ahora descansar, recuperar, y el fin de semana que viene tenemos un partido igual de complicado.
[It's important for us for the team to pressure high up on the field. We're happy for the win, and now we rest, recuperate, and next weekend we've got another game just as tough.]
Caleb Porter, Portland Timbers head coach
On the game and the penalties:
"This result is a tough one to swallow. It's a tight game, it's an even game, we're not giving up very many chances, we look like we're going to get a goal somewhere at some point. Next thing you know it's a PK and we're down a goal and down a man. It makes it very difficult in that situation. That was certainly the play and moment and call that changed the game. I thought our guys deserved better, and it's unfortunate. It's not coming easy. But this locker room is a tight locker room. They're not happy, but they're not questioning themselves. I believe in them, they believe in themselves, and we'll get it sorted out."
On the first half:
"I thought it was a very even half. I didn't think either team was really generating a ton of chances, which for us was a real positive on the road and in tough conditions with the weather and altitude. I thought we had as much of the game as they did. They were having trouble creating chances and we were tight defensively and when we got on the ball we were able to dictate the game and we had quite a bit of possession and control. You need to in the altitude; you need to be able to rest on the ball. We had a few chances. I thought we had three or four chances that were better than any chance they had all game. But in the end, we lose 2-0 because they get two PKs. That's soccer, it can be cruel and deceiving and misleading. I thought in all honesty we deserved better and I thought there were a few things that didn't go our way."
On how the team started the game:
"I thought we played well. The guys did everything that we wanted them to do. Very pleased with the first half overall. We wanted to come in at halftime even or up a goal, which we did. And second half we were on the ball again and started to find our way and get some more chances. On one end of the field we're almost in on a breakaway and Darlington [Nagbe] gets chopped down. Then a couple minutes later they're in behind us and it's a PK and a goal and we're down a man. For me that was what decided the game – that play, that moment, that call."
On how the team responded and moving forward:
"I thought we were very bright in our start. I thought in the first 10 minutes they had a few chances but we weathered it. I thought we were the better team for the next 45, 50 minutes. But in the end we don't get any points out of it and it comes down to points and winning and we didn't. We're not making excuses. This locker room, myself, we don't makes excuses. There were some things certainly that were against us today and it was tough, there were a few things that we question, but in the end we're not going to make excuses. We're going to get back to work, we're not going to dwell too long, and will move on quickly. This is one where you want to have a pretty short-term memory."
Timbers defender Jack Jewsbury
On the first half:
"Coming into the game, we knew they were going to start off strong. They had a few chances early on and then once we settled into the game I thought our possession was very good. We shifted from side to side and kind of opened them up and created a few chances. So we felt good coming into halftime, we wanted to be even or ahead, and we were."
On changes made for the second half:
"Trying to control the game with our possession and creating chances off of that. We wanted to continue to do that, but we really weren't able to get the ball down on the ground as much as we would have liked in that second half; wind kind of picked up, it was kind of nasty. And then a couple of calls, obviously that changed the game."
On the flow of the game and the shift in momentum in the second half:
"Being at home, they were going to contain or press the game. Both teams were trying to go at each other and get three points. They were coming hard at that point; we got the chance where we nicked Darlington through. I thought we were in on a breakaway there, so it's disappointing that maybe there wasn't a different color card shown for that one. It is what it is. We've got to do better on the play that leads to their first PK. In terms of the call, I haven't looked at it again to see exactly what happened. From my standpoint, it was kind of a 50-50 where they both got each other pretty good."
Timbers midfielder Will Johnson
On the team's mentality coming into the second half:
"Up until the penalty we felt good, we felt comfortable, we felt in control, and we felt we were doing enough to win the game. We were getting a few chances and keeping the ball well. Everything felt good."
On the play after the first 20 minutes had passed:
"We just kept the ball a little bit better and settled down. Games, in the beginning, are always frantic. Guys are running around and then the game softens a little usually around 15 or 20 minutes. Both teams kind of get in a rhythm and get some possession, and once we were able to get some possession and start switching the ball it got our guys confident and everybody feeling pretty good about it. Just getting that possession was a big part of settling us down."
On the defensive plays that led to the penalties:
"It was a ball over the top, I wouldn't even call it a one-v-one because their guy didn't even have the ball. He didn't have any control of the ball, he hadn't touched the ball, so sometimes with a fast guy like that you keep a high line and the goalkeeper cleans up some of that stuff. A one-v-one is more when a guy is dribbling in on goal, so I think it's just a half chance at best. Obviously, we need to track that a little bit better, but I don't think that was a big issue."
Mark Geiger, referee
On why Ricketts was sent off:
Ricketts was sent off for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.
On who initiated the contact on the penalty:
The contact was made by Ricketts on the challenge, hence the penalty against Portland.

Back in February some concept art, purportedly from Valve's next new game, leaked in this video uploaded to YouTube. In April, more video surfaced along with a cryptic code name, "SOB." Now some more landscapes have found their way into the wild, and rumor says it as a sprawling space MMO.
"Stars of Barathrum" is its working title, according to this forum thread on FacePunch. The last word in the working title comes from this character in Dota. "SOB" is also its in-house abbreviation, which could also mean Valve wants this stuff out in the wild, to have a little fun with everyone. Who knows.
There are about a dozen more shots in the FacePunch thread, some spacescapes and character concepts, mostly. We've pinged Valve to ask if this stuff is legitimate or if the company has any comment. It's a Saturday and they're on the west coast, so we may not hear back for a while. Any comment made will go here.
[Update] Seeing that these visual assets have been on this artist's personal site for some time—and he is no longer employed by Valve—it's fair to question whether this project is still active. At any rate, their appearance does not constitute a leak—that term implies something coming from a publisher or a development team.

Source: Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy
With the national energy inflation rate at 10% and business costs continuing to climb, the New Year is a good time to maximize farm energy efficiency and minimize monthly utility bills.
The Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy® — established by dairy producers in 2008 to foster industrywide innovation and efficiencies — urges dairy producers interested in cutting on-farm energy costs to contact their local Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office.
Funding is available right now to help producers address on-farm energy use and increase efficiency. The Innovation Center and U.S. Department of Agriculture NRCS are focused on helping dairy producers learn about those opportunities.
"One of the goals of the Innovation Center Sustainability team is to work with state and local organizations to connect dairy producers with the energy and cost-saving opportunities that are immediately available," said Barbara O'Brien, president of the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy and senior executive vice president of Dairy Management Inc.™, which manages the dairy checkoff on behalf of the nation's farmers. "While initiatives vary across the country, all regions offer assistance to offset the cost of farm energy audits as well as incentive and rebate programs to make equipment upgrades and retrofits more affordable.
January 2012 is the right time to take action.
Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) funding is available through NRCS for farm energy audits and equipment upgrades (available to those with qualifying audits). Producers should act now.
The first national application cutoff is Feb. 3. More details can be found through local NRCS field offices. An on-farm energy audit, also known as an Agricultural Energy Management Plan (AgEMP), is a vital decision-making tool. An energy audit can identify improvements that could reduce energy use by 10 to 35% — most often in areas such as lighting, milk cooling, ventilation, vacuum pumps and electric water heating.
"I think an energy audit is an excellent tool and another step in the farm plan," said Ryan Anglin, a dairy producer from Bentonville, Ark., and chairman of the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board. Anglin recently completed an AgEMP. "It helps to have the results of the farm energy assessment in black and white. As a business man, seeing the potential for energy savings and payback period is important in making good investment decisions."
Saving energy directly translates to cost savings and improved profitability for dairy operations. On average dairy producers spend $40 per cow per year on electricity. Improved energy efficiency can mean $4 to $14 savings per cow. This can translate into thousands of dollars per year.
"I urge producers to learn about their options to get an energy audit," said Dan Rice of Firth, Neb., dairy producer and member of the Innovation Center's Sustainability Council. "The energy audit just takes a few hours and is in no way intrusive; and the return on investment for the short time spent makes getting an energy audit a wise choice." Rice said that small changes can make a difference. Recently, the lighting at Prairieland Farms was upgraded to LED incandescent fixtures. "We expect to save the farm 131,000 KwH, which could result in more than $9,000 per year."
Producers can learn about financial assistance opportunities in one of three ways: 1) call an energy expert at 800-732-1399; 2) contact a local NRCS field office; or 3) use the Innovation Center's easy-to-use, SaveEnergy web tool at USDairy.com/SaveEnergy. Innovation Center for
The Innovation Center is supported by NRCS and is focused on accelerating energy conservation and building awareness for on-farm energy audits. The farm energy efficiency project is an effort established by U.S. dairy producers to reduce their environmental footprint while creating business value across the supply chain that benefits everyone.
Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy® is a forum for the dairy industry to work together to address barriers and opportunities to foster innovation and increase sales. The Innovation Center aligns the collective resources of the industry to offer consumers nutritious dairy products and ingredients, and promote the health of people, communities, the planet and the industry. The Board of Directors for the Innovation Center includes dairy farmers and industry leaders representing key producer organizations, dairy cooperatives, processors, manufacturers and brands. The Innovation Center is staffed by Dairy Management Inc.™ Visit USDairy.com for more information about the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy.

In 1936 Julius Rosenberg met Ethel Greenglass through the Youth Communist League. They both lived in New York and came from working-class Jewish families. Three years after their first meeting they were married. That same year Julius gained a degree in electrical engineering from the City College of New York.
Following the United States' entrance into the Second World War, Julius joined the Army Signal Corps and worked on radar equipment. A year later, in 1943, the Rosenbergs stopped publicly endorsing communism and cancelled their subscription to the Daily Worker, the newspaper of the Communist Party USA. Nevertheless, the pair were still in contact with leading American communists through whom they made the acquaintance of Alexandre Feklisov, a Soviet spy.
By chance, in 1944 Ethel's brother, David Greenglass, started working on the United States' nuclear weapon programme, the Manhattan Project. Towards the end of that year, the Rosenbergs allegedly persuaded him to pass technical details of the programme to the Soviets to help them also develop a nuclear weapon. According to Feklisov, Julius also recruited a number of other people with access to information on top secret projects to spy for the Russians.
In early 1950, British Intelligence arrested Klaus Fuchs, another scientist working on the Manhattan Project, on charges of espionage. Eventually, the trail of spies and couriers led back to David Greenglass and the Rosenbergs, all of whom were arrested. In January 1951, the US Grand Jury indicted the three of them and the trial of the Rosenbergs began in March that year. Following a guilty verdict on the charge of conspiring to commit espionage, the presiding Judge, Irving Kaufman, sentenced them both to death. Greenglass, who testified against his sister and brother-in-law, received a fifteen year sentence, of which he served ten years.
On 19th June 1953, a special session of the US Supreme Court finally dismissed requests for a stay of execution. So, that evening, first Julius and then Ethel were executed by electrocution at the Sing Sing Correctional Facility at Ossining, New York. They left behind two orphaned sons, Robert and Michael, who were finally adopted by the songwriter Abel Meerpol - famous for writing the Billie Holliday song 'Strange Fruit' - and his wife Anne. Controversy still surrounds the Rosenberg's (particularly Ethel's) role in the spy ring, as well as their trial and execution.
The University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law host a complete transcript of the Rosenberg Trial on their website.

Here's a bit of good news out of Pakistan, where that 11-year old girl who was charged with, and apparently framed for, blasphemy has been released from prison. But the charges have not yet been dropped and she is still at great risk.
A young Christian girl accused of burning pages of Islam's holy book was freed Saturday from a jail near the capital where she had been held for three weeks, a Pakistani jail official said.
The release a day after a judge granted her bail is another step closer to ending an episode that has focused an uncomfortable spotlight on Pakistan's harsh blasphemy laws, which can result in life in prison or even death for defendants. Many critics say the laws are misused to wage vendettas or target Pakistan's vulnerable minorities like the Christians.
I wish the media and everyone else would stop saying that blasphemy laws are being misused when the problem is that they're being used at all, that they even exist.
The girl's release came a day after a judge in Islamabad granted bail to the mentally challenged girl, a move hailed by the human right activists and representatives of Pakistan's minority Christian community. Bail is rarely granted in blasphemy cases, and the decision signals a degree of sympathy that could result in all the charges being dropped.
Let's hope so, and quickly. And let's also hope that mob "justice" doesn't take over from the courts at that point.

What is Leadership Polk?
As the only countywide leadership development program in Polk County, LeadershipPolk is comprised of individuals who have demonstrated a high level of civic engagement in their local community. Started in 2007, the program brings together accomplished leaders from across the county with the goal of developing a diverse network of resourceful, informed and proactive visionaries committed to building a more vibrant future for our county.
The nine-month program immerses participants in an inspiring and enlightening curriculum that examines critical issues that impact our region. Leadership Polk is timely, topically relevant, dynamic, and exposes participants to a broad range of perspectives through site visits, facilitated conversations and experiential learning. Most importantly, lasting relationships are forged with engaged leaders from across Polk County.
Leadership Polk Goals
To educate and engage demonstrated leaders from various geographic, occupational and economic segments of Polk County.
To familiarize the participants with a wide range of community issues facing Polk County and the municipalities within the county.

How can I apply?
The class selection process begins each spring with a call for nominations. We will be accepting nominations for Class XIV beginning April 1, 2020 - April 30, 2020. All those nominated will be invited to submit an application in May. Applications are due May 31, 2020 by 5:00 pm.

Preference will be given to those applicants that have completed a local leadership program. If you are unsure about your eligibility, please contact Polk Vision prior to applying.
Typically there are more qualified applicants than positions available. Because the program is limited in size, many qualified individuals must be deferred. Those not accepted in a given year may be considered again in subsequent years if they wish to reapply.
Spouses will not be accepted into the same class. Announced political candidates will not be accepted. Multiple applicants from the same business or organization are typically not selected into the same class, but rare exceptions may be made depending on the organizational structure.

In addition, participants may not miss more than one class day. Missing any portion of a class day will count as an absence. Class members who miss two class days will be required to make up one of their two missed class days the following year. Should a class member miss three class days, he/she will no longer be part of the program, and no refund of tuition will be given. Attendance requirements are strictly enforced in order to maintain the integrity of the program and respect the commitment made by other class members.

Intriguing thoughts on "Why We Collaborate" from the fine folks at TED. Worth a listen! Why do we collaborate? What are your thoughts?
This week's TED Radio Hour examines "Why We Collaborate," exploring why, and how, millions of people come together to work on online projects, sometimes for free.
The episode begins with Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, who spoke at TEDGlobal 2005, back when the site was still very new. The incredible growth of Wikipedia since then not only illustrates the range of people who contribute to it, but how mass collaboration can improve the world in increments. Next, Luis Von Ahn approaches a similar problem from a slightly different perspective. His project Duolingo teaches students languages by getting them to translate the web, a daunting project. He suggests that some form of return, like learning a language, is necessary to get people to give up their free time.
The conversation continues with Clay Shirky, who advocates for a more productive use of the 35 hours per…

BAGHDAD -- Jailbreak attempts at two major prisons outside Baghdad have claimed the lives of at least 25 members of Iraq's security forces, while a car bombing targeting soldiers early Monday killed another 12, according to officials.
There were conflicting reports on whether inmates had escaped. Local media and jihadist Internet forums reported some prisoners had managed to flee, but authorities have not officially reported any break-outs. Many of the thousands of inmates are insurgents, including members of al-Qaida's Iraq branch, who have been convicted on terrorism-related charges.
The prison attacks that began late Sunday at lock-ups in Taji and Abu Ghraib, both in the outskirts of the capital, are the latest indication of deteriorating security conditions across the country. Government forces combed surrounding areas for attackers and guards at Taji appeared on high alert with assault rifles at the ready early Monday.
Attackers detonated bombs and lobbed mortar rounds at Taji prison, 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Baghdad. A suicide car bomber then attacked the main gate while another suicide bomber blew himself up nearby, sparking clashes between militants and the guards, according to police.
As the battle raged for about two hours outside, rioting inmates set fire to blankets and furniture, police said.
Fifteen soldiers were killed and 13 others were wounded in the Taji attack, they said. At least six among the militants were also reported killed.
A similar raid unfolded at the prison in Abu Ghraib in Baghdad's western suburbs. Insurgents there struck the prison walls with mortar rounds and a car bomb, and at least one militant blew himself up at the main gate.
Ten policemen were killed and 19 others were wounded, they added. Four militants were reported killed in that attack.
Security forces reported finding undetonated car bombs and explosive belts used by suicide bombers near both prisons after the attacks.
The U.S. military previously operated the prisons in Taji and Abu Ghraib but handed control of both facilities back to Iraqi authorities before the last American troops departed in December 2011.
Abuse of prisoners at the hands of American guards inside Abu Ghraib following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion sparked outrage around the world and helped fuel anti-American sentiment in Iraq.
In a separate incident early Monday, a suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laded car into an army patrol in northern Iraq, killing at least 12 people, police and medical officials said.
The suicide bomber hit the patrol while traveling in a residential area in the city of Mosul, killing nine soldiers and three civilians, a police officer said. He added that 14 others, included four civilians, were wounded.
Mosul, 360 kilometers (220 miles) northwest of Baghdad, is one of Iraq's major flashpoints.
Three medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. They spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.
A surge of attacks has killed more than 450 Iraqis since the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan on July 10. It comes amid a larger spike in bloodshed in recent months that is raising fears of a return to the widespread sectarian killing that pushed the country to the brink of civil war after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.

I use the desktop app.
for some items, i have to get the URL from the web app, others it works using the Link provided in the desktop app.
Tasks and projects will open as a new tab on my app. Calendars, Folders and Dashboards open as a new Window on my screen.
Wrike is a memory 'hog', and each new tab and or Window takes up even more memory. I prefer all bookmarks open as another tab on the app, not another window. This way i can see how many tabs are open, where with the windows, they are all over the place on my screens. (i hope that made sense).
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
I really wish your team would test out items first before forcing them on everyone. I am trying to set up a new project today, shared to our team -- but I can't because now I need to make a space before I can add new projects, then I have to drag all our existing projects/folders to that new space. On top of this, I have to pick some random emoji for the space instead of uploading a custom graphic, such as our logo.
And why does every space have a non-removeable "Bookmarks" section?
Why does this feature exist? Who asked for it?

Thanks! I got the email that said my space is ready - and it wasn't. but based on this thread it is something that hasn't been rolled out to everyone yet so hopefully in the next two weeks.

@Dana. You can actually set up a new Project w/ out creating a space. If you have a folder set that the project goes into, select that folder, and then use the big green +.
I think Spaces will be a great improvement, once the bugs are worked out. It's hard to work out all the bugs before launching any program, as it takes a village to use it and abuse it and figure out what needs to be done.
I think with Spaces, patience is key. 😌

@Marjorie -- Our projects have never been in a root folder, so that's the issue.
What I'd rather is have these things as an opt-in to iron out the bugs and then roll it out. This isn't the first time we've had a new feature land and we've needed to spend time cleaning up because of it. And we're only a small shop -- I can't imagine what larger places have to do.

It seems to me that a Space is essentially a shared folder, where you can include tasks from various folders all in one place. We already use this folder method, so this does not seem new. The only new feature seems to be Bookmarks for different types of links. Am I right that this is the only significant difference from a folder?

Question for the Wrike Gurus. Spaces has been activated on our account and I'm noticing that once a space has been built, all bookmarks within that space open in their own tab. Is this how this is supposed to work? Seems odd, if and when I navigate between the folders, dashboards, and reports within a space I have to keep closing the multiple tabs that get opened. HELP!! Is there a way to set up the system so all navigation takes place within a single tab?
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
@michael, yes, too many tabs/windows are getting open, see my comment above.
@Samir, now that you mention it, yes, i think so. At least that's how i'm seeing it. One big benefit of the Bookmarks is the ability to place links to reports and Request Forms as a bookmark. Helps make it easier to choose the correct ones quickly.
@Dana, I can see what that would be an issue. I have a small team, so we are handling it as it comes, I'm not sure how the larger ones are working it out.

I've been working in rebuilding our org into team spaces. I think this will be a huge improvement in efficiency for our teams. Bookmarks has me a little confused now though. It looks nothing at all like the many videos, webinars and examples that were shown. Is this a conscious change? Or is our account not viewing this feature properly? Adding links as bookmarks doesn't seem as intuitive as the videos either, and many links seem to be doing odd things, like folders not showing actual contents and projects inside when using a folder bookmark. The iconography also does not look like the examples, and leaves a lot to be desired. Hard to quickly make out the differences between types of bookmarks. The colored bookmarks stood out more clearly from each other.

Hi all, thanks for posting here. And thanks to those of you helping others out here with answers here 👏
We really appreciate the feedback on this and the product team are taking note of your insights. We're also interested in what you like about Spaces and how it's going to help you. For me, I think it's super cool I can organize the Reports and Request forms I need in one place - introducing new team members to their Space where they'll have everything will make things so much easier for me.
What about you?
I've answered some questions below with the help of the Product team overlooking this project, thanks for your patience while I gathered the info!
@Marj The Link should be creating a Bookmark, let me raise a ticket so you can show the Support Team what's happening.
Right now, the colors are not available as there's some work to make colors available in other areas of the Workspace for other objects too for this to happen in the Space. I'll update here when it's available, our team is looking into it.
About the multiple tabs opening in the Desktop app. The team are aware and are working on fixing it. Expected to happen early next week.
@Dana - the team is considering implementing the ability to add custom logos as an option for the icon, but there's no ETA right now. As for Bookmarks, the team plans to make that optional application in Spaces so if you don't need it you won't see it. This is due in a couple of weeks.
@Lee Today is the last day of deploying the update. If it's not there tomorrow, please let me know.
@Michael Our next milestone for Spaces is to give the ability to create Dashboards/Reports/Calendars, etc right in Spaces. At that point, we can remove the confusion that it may be causing. Also, for now, they've decided not to use colors since they are not supported throughout the Wrike. But we are considering to bring back colors: we want to make an option to customize the color for each object.
@Samir and everyone, I think it might help to list some of the main benefits of Spaces for you and your team:
- Relevant navigation. All public information could be stored in public Spaces so that everybody can access it.
- Bookmarks - easy access to external and internal resources relevant to your team.
- Request forms management in Space. The ability for Space Admin to create the work intake process right in Space, adding relevancy to the forms your team needs.
- Recommended workflows for Space. Space Admin can choose several workflows that the team uses. And they then will be suggested to each person when changing the status, so there's no need to choose from all workflows existing in the account.
I hope this helped. Keep asking questions here. If you know the answer to someone else's question, help a fellow community member and please share your input. Thanks!

I have figured out why some of my bookmarks open in a new window and some open in a new tab within the desktop app. Items that i use the URL from a web browser to create the bookmark will open in a new window. Items that i use the Wrike provided permalink, will open a new tab. I vote NEW Tab on ALL bookmarks. :D

It would be great to have an ability to enable or disable Spaces. In my case, I don't think my organization will be using Spaces as we already have a Folder/sub-folder/project hierarchy in place BUT I don't want my general users jumping in and creating Spaces willy-nilly. The update just hit my accounts today and I've already got users messing around with it instead of just using our established folder structures.
Additionally, the user permissions of Spaces seem to be limited. In my case, I have folders set by Divisions and sub folders set by Department. Staff in individual Departments shouldn't have the same permissions in other Departments within their Division besides their own, so I'd be forced to create Spaces by Department, rather than being able to have a Space for a Division and then have Department folders which I could control permissions on individually. Perhaps this just isn't the planned use for Spaces?

@Harrison Luoma You may turn-off the ability to create Spaces for end users in Account Management - in this case only account admins will be able to create them.
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
@Alexey Kartavenko Where can I find that setting exactly?
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
@Harrison Luoma My apologies, this setting is only available in Enterprise accounts for now.
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
@Alexey Kartavenko Do you know if this will be an option in the near future? I'd like to be able to disable it in my account so users do not have the option to use it as we've got an established system of use for Wrike.
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
Hi Harrison, there are no plans right now. The team have your feedback now and if there's any changes I'll be sure to let you know here 👍
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
Are there any plans to be able to assign workflows to spaces just like request forms so space admins can manage them as well?
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
@Joshua, you can set the default Workflow when creating a Space, or even adjust it once you have already created it.
To edit a workspace, click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the Space:
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
Hi Marj, thanks for pointing that out, but that doesn't allow space admins to edit and otherwise manage the workflows does it? I'm looking for the control that assigning a form to a space gives the space admin but for workflows as well.
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
Correct, a space admin can only edit spaces. in order to edit workflows, you have to be an account admin.
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
Space admins can edit forms assigned to the space. I would like to be able to assign workflows in the same way so space admins can also edit them.
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
I left this in a another thread, it's probably better here:
Hi guys, I generally think Spaces is a step forward. We found our request forms were not very visible so this is going to help being able to book mark those, and I really like the idea of having a landing page with those bookmarks pinned. I know you said that you are going to allow the ability to set a default view - to me this is really important - we hardly use list views at all and I think something like analytics works makes a lot more sense as a landing page view here. However, can I ask that you consider allowing to have a dashboard as the landing page on a space. I think we would use dashboards so much more if they were part of the core structure rather than hidden away under Dashboards tab. (And yes, being able to pin them in bookmarks will help but still better if I could embed them as the landing page)
Spot On! 👍 Innovative Approach 💡 Stellar Advice 💪
I've gone to about 6 pages on your site to figure out what Spaces are and why I'd use them. Not an image or a video on any of the pages. Screenshots are free folks. I'm going to go ahead and ignore this feature entirely now as I've spent enough time trying to figure out why I should be excited by it.

Although some time has passed since the UK's vote to leave the EU, the full implications of Brexit for trademarks and designs remain unclear. Statements made by EU and UK officials have not changed that position, nor did Theresa May's Brexit speech in January 2017 provide any indication what path the UK may take with respect to EU trademarks and Community designs. The UK Government's White Paper entitled "United Kingdom's exit from and new partnership with the European Union" published on 2 February 2017 is equally silent on this issue. It is hoped that more clarity will be gained in the months after UK government triggers Article 50 on 29 March 2017.
The factual and legal situation therefore remains unchanged and can be summarized as follows:
The outcome of the referendum has no immediate consequences on EU trademarks and Community designs as the vote itself does not affect the legal position of the UK as an EU member state. EU trademarks as well as Community designs therefore continue to provide the same scope of protection to rights holders in the UK. It also remains possible to apply for new EU trademarks and registered Community designs which extend protection to the UK and there will be no changes for legal proceedings involving EU trademarks and Community designs initially.
There is no doubt that the status of EU trademarks and Community designs will be among the topics covered during the exit negotiations once these begin. As for many other areas, much will depend on the outcome of those negotiations. However, based on current EU legislation, EU trademarks and Community designs would no longer cover the territory of the UK once the UK leaves the EU.
There is a lot of ongoing discussion between stakeholders about the fate of EU trademarks and Community designs. The Chartered Institute of Trademark Attorneys (CITMA) has outlined some of the options that may be chosen. These include The Republic of Ireland Model (where owners of EU trademarks would have the option to create a corresponding UK trademark registration for a limited time period (e.g. five years after Brexit) or when renewing the EU trademark, the Jersey Model (where the UK would unilaterally deem EU trademark to have effect in the UK), the Montenegro Model (where all existing EU trademark registrations would be automatically entered onto the UK trademark register as UK trademark registrations retaining the same scope of protection) and conversion. These are not the only options that exist, and there are also several possible variations. Although not absolutely certain, it is anticipated that the UK will offer the ability to convert an EU trademark or create an equivalent national counterpart for existing EU trademark registrations. Regardless of which option is ultimately chosen, presentations from the German, Norwegian, ex-Yugoslav and US perspective at the CITMA Spring Conference, which took place from 15 March to 17 March 2017, provide hope that the UK will be more than capable of offering brand owners the necessary protection for their existing and future trademark rights and that the UK will continue to be an attractive jurisdiction in which to do business.
Potential impact
If the UK leaves the EU, neither Community designs nor EU trademarks will cover the territory of the UK. It is anticipated that the UK will permit owners of such EU rights to request a conversion of their EU registrations into national UK registrations. Such national UK registrations may also retain the original filing date of the EU rights. Beyond these assumptions, much remains unclear at the moment. Will the UK Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO) simply accept the list of goods and services of the prior EU trademark or will there be a new examination process, as would be the case currently where rights holders decide to convert their EU trademarks into a bundle of national rights? Which fee structure will be applied for the conversion process? How long will the conversion process take? Will the "new" national UK trademarks be subject to (another) opposition period? The UK IPO may also ask the applicant to either prove the use of their mark in the UK or request that the applicant declare a bona fide intention to use the mark in the UK, as is currently required when applying for an UK trademark. Some concern has also been raised as to whether EU trademarks might become subject to non-use cancellations once the UK leaves the EU.
Owners of EU trademarks and registered Community designs who make use of the national UK filing system will not need to alter their current filing strategies. However, brand owners who have no parallel registrations in place and regard the UK market as relevant may need to reconsider their filing strategies.
Further considerations
The effect of Brexit on legal proceedings involving EU trademarks and Community designs will also need to be clarified during the exit negotiations. Whereas judgments in legal proceedings post Brexit involving EU trademarks and Community designs will no longer be binding on the UK, it will be interesting to see how the scope of protection of already binding judgments with EU-wide applicability is assessed with respect to the UK after the exit.
- No immediate consequences for EU trademarks and Community designs as the scope of protection of these rights remains unaffected for the time being
- Continue to follow Brexit discussions to learn about a potential conversion process for existing EU trademarks or registered Community designs
- Rights holders with a particular interest in the UK may want to consider national UK applications for trademarks and designs, in particular for their core brands, to avoid uncertainties in upcoming exit negotiations
- Be specific about what is meant by referring to "the EU" when entering into licensing or settlement agreements, by clarifying whether the UK is to be included
The statistics on trademark filing figures for September 2015 to September 2016 recently published by the UK IPO show that brand owners around the globe appear to be adopting a "wait and see" approach when it comes to filing UK trademark applications. Around 63,500 applications were filed during this period. In September 2016, the IPO received 5,390 new trademark applications, representing an increase of around 800 applications compared with around 4,560 trademark applications filed in September 2015. These figures suggest that the IPO has seen a rise of roughly 10% in applications. Considering the potential implications of Brexit on trademark rights in the EU and UK, this increase does not appear to be hugely significant.
We will continue to monitor developments closely and will provide timely updates as soon as the legislative position is addressed by the UK and EU authorities.

Benson Henderson (17-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) stayed unbeaten in the UFC and defended his title for the first time – but he did so in a squeaker. Henderson on Saturday beat Frankie Edgar (14-3-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC) by split decision in their rematch at UFC 150.
Full fight video highlights are now available of the bout.
UFC 150 took place at Denver's Pepsi Center with Henderson-Edgar as the main event of the pay-per-view.
Henderson took the belt from Edgar earlier this year at UFC 144 in Japan, but Edgar was given a rematch for another shot at the title he held for nearly two years. Most observers believe Henderson won the first round, Edgar won the second round and the third, fourth and fifth were razor-thin. The judges scored the bout 48-47 twice for Henderson and 49-46 for Edgar.
Check out the embedded clip for the highlights.

I loved being at URock, there were always fun things going on around campus through out the year with numerous events. All of the professors are incredibly nice and helpful. It was very easy to make friends and it was kind of like high school all over just minus the drama!Read More
Many have told me they could never come to this campus because it is so big, I can't help but laugh and think how small it seems to me. I met the craziest yet somehow the most studious friends my freshman year at the dorms. We walk down by the Monona Terrace and the water is still and the lake is at ease and that small town vibe is all around you. But then come saturday the town is rocking inside Camp Randall and although you might not know the person next to you--it really doesn't matter because the school spirit is so great. When the football games are away, you can bet that I absolutely love rollerblading to State Street on saturday. I grab a bite to eat, listen to a fiddler on the sidewalk and watch a man use spray paint to create art on a piece of paper and sell it for much less than it looks worth.Read More
I love the friendly enviornment UW-Waukesha has to offer. All of the staff is extremely helpful and encouraging.
