K&L Gates' Simon Casinader and Bianca D'Angelo investigate the common pitfalls that brands face with respect to domain names.
As a 'digital shopfront', domain names are important marketing tools for fashion companies in the 21st century. Navigating this area can be tricky, especially when encountering cybersquatters who seek to buy up domains to resell them for a profit at a later date, or when simple registration errors put your domains at risk.
"Ownership" of domains
You do not technically 'own' a domain, but you have a licence to use it from a registrar. By registering a domain, you have the right to use the domain name for a specific period subject to the terms of the registrar. This allows you to prevent anyone else from registering the same domain, but it does not in itself entitle you to any other rights in the name. A trade mark is what gives you an exclusive right in a mark.
The registrar should be authorised to make web addresses available, e.g. .au Domain Administration (auDA) for .au domains or the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs).
Since the mid-1990s, countless businesses have been embroiled in 'domain wars' against cybersquatters who register, occupy and traffic a domain without having any legitimate interest in it. In 2015, Hermes International successfully had the domain name hermes.clothing transferred. In 2016, De Beers won a claim against an individual who registered debeers.feedback. In 2017, Jimmy Choo defended its brand against jimmy-choos.com which misled customers into thinking they were buying genuine Jimmy Choo branded goods when this was not the case.
The De Beers and Hermes cases are good news stories for brands concerned about maintaining exclusivity in the wake of ICANN's new gTLD program. Since 2012, ICANN has issued over 1,000 new gTLDs (including .shopping and .luxury), sparking a new wave of cybersquatting.
Registering the name of brands and celebrities on social media sites is another relatively new problem. Other deceitful practices include making a domain with a typographical error and using someone else's domain as the sender or 'reply to' address in an email.
Who should own it?
Businesses commonly make mistakes setting up a domain. You must ensure that the correct entity, usually your business' operating entity, is registered as the owner of your domain. DO NOT register the domain in the name of an individual who may eventually leave the business and take the domain name when they exit.
What to do with cybersquatters?
If you discover that your brand is being used in bad faith you can:
a) Seek to recover or cancel the domain through approved arbitration methods.
An authorised provider (such as WIPO) can cancel or transfer the domain under ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). All domain registrants are bound by the UDRP (or similar policies) when they buy a domain.
To succeed in a UDRP Complaint to transfer or cancel a domain, you must show that the domain:
1. is identical or confusingly similar to a trade mark or service mark, in which you have rights
2. the registrant has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of it, and
3. it has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
However, it is not considered bad faith to merely register a domain before adopting a trade mark or to register and not use a domain.
For a new gTLD (such as .store or .clothing), businesses can also seek to suspend a domain that is similar to their word mark through ICANN's Uniform Rapid Suspension System. This regime offers an even cheaper and faster path to relief than UDRP arbitration.
b) Institute Court proceedings seeking the recovery or cancellation of the domain.
Although you can litigate these matters through the Courts, the arbitration systems above are the cheapest and easiest methods.
Domain names can be a vital asset for a business. It is important that your business register the correct domain names in the name of the correct owner. Furthermore, it is important that you seek the transfer or cancellation of any domain names which encroach on your legal rights.

AS UNNATURAL AS HOGS RAISED ON CONCRETE…THE CREEPING DANGER THAT IS VOCAL FRYPosted: April 4, 2014 Filed under: Rants | Tags: accent, communication, culture, dialect, language, ramblings, rant, Southern, speech, talking, trite, vocal fry, women 2 Comments
Mrs. Hate doesn't know quite where to start with this subject that is so near and dear to her heart, so let's all just take a deep breath and dive in:
There is no shame in having an accent; be authentic, talk like where you're from, keep your regional identity, and don't be ashamed of it.
If you've moved around a lot during your formative years and you're not really from anywhere and your accent is a mishmash, keep the mishmash, but at least have a modulated voice.
Either be self-confident or imagine you're self-confident, please, and just talk with the same inflection and such you've had since being able to form sentences into paragraphs and converse.
Just freaking talk with the voice God gave you.
Talk like a person instead of a hog raised on concrete.
Mrs. Hate feels like she's getting her sea legs now, so let's walk and stomp all over the dangerous, insidious, duplicitous, cunning MONSTROSITY that is vocal fry.
Mrs. Hate has an authentic, pure, soft, NOT syrupy Southern accent. Her voice might be a little low, maybe even the slightest bit nasally, but she has been told all along by the opposite sex that her voice is lovely. This is not any kind of posturing or vanity on Mrs. Hate's part, it's just a statement, and she guesses that a man is more comfortable saying things like that to a woman than a woman would be saying that to a woman—at least in this small town. Who knows? Mrs. Hate is not going down that path today; that's a gender-based subject for another post.
While Mrs. Hate cannot imagine talking any other way than Southern, at the same time she enjoys—she LOVES—hearing other accents. She has no shame stating in a genuinely interested (and there's a big difference between being interested and being nosy) way to someone she comes in contact with while out and about "you don't sound like you're from around here…where are you from?". It's just part of realizing that there is a world beyond this rural Southern town and a way to imagine a different way of talking, being, indeed living life.
So, authentic regional accents are totally fine, even if they are not Southern, and even if they might sound a little harsh or brisk to Mrs. Hate's ears. They're authentic, and that's what counts in Mrs. Hate's book.
How about inflection? Do random inflections and syllable stressors get a "pass" from Mrs. Hate? Probably. Different people may emphasize certain syllables in certain words differently, and their voice may rise or fall in a certain pattern, but it least it's all (relatively) pure and/or recognizable.
A glaring exception to this point would be what is popularly known as "Valley Girl" speech pattern. Let's be a little more precise here and quote from Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_rising_terminal):
The high rising terminal (HRT), also known as uptalk, upspeak, rising inflection, or high rising intonation (HRI), is a feature of some accents of English where statements have a rising intonation pattern in the final syllable or syllables of the utterance.
Hmmm…Valley Girl?? Possibly a precursor to vocal fry?? Hmmm…
And what if you moved around so much during your childhood—growing up in a military family seems to be the example used most often—and had just all sorts of accents around you and you developed your own "mishmash" accent? Fine enough—impressible years here.
But what we've arrived at here is THE CREEPING DANGER that is VOCAL FRY.
Why does Mrs. Hate have such hateful feelings about this?
Because it just sounds so, so, stupid. Why growl at the end of a sentence? Does the speaker (usually a female) think it makes her sound more in CHARGE, more SELF-ASSURED, more "ALL THAT", maybe even more "SEXY"??
Well, let Mrs. Hate tell you something. It doesn't. What you sound like is you don't have wits enough to just talk with the voice God gave you and from the area you grew up in. It sounds like you don't have a high enough level of independent thinking to NOT follow the legion of young women who, God only knows how, somehow DEVELOPED or HEARD this VOCAL FRY and decided it was…in charge, self-assured, "all that", and "sexy".
Furthermore, no matter how smart you are, you sound intellectually deficient. When Mrs. Hate sits at the computer type type typing away and hears the television going on in the background with a supposedly highly intelligent female interviewer/political type/entrepreneur/whatever spouting VOCAL FRY all over the listener—well, it just boggles her mind. She usually gets up and walks over and stands in front of the TV and starts waving her arms around and sputtering. Then, she becomes speechless with the gruesomeness of it all and just scurries back to the safety of the computer (where she usually searches for YouTube videos pertaining to vocal fry so that she can get upset all over again, validation-wise).
If Mrs. Hate were in a position of hiring and firing (which she most assuredly is not, as she just does her own thing in her own house and in her own life, just as happy as a dead pig in the sunshine), she has a strong feeling that a job applicant growling and creaking and yapping with vocal fry all over the place—NO MATTER HOW SMART SHE WAS—would be told whatever employers tell people that they don't want to hire. Mrs. Hate does not know how one "gets around" not hiring somebody you don't care for (laws and such), but that's just not her problem here. Her problem is that she fears vocal fry is an indicator of a rising tide of stupidity and shallowness in the way people think, act, and even talk, leading to an increasing lack of authenticity in the very core of our being.
Perhaps it seems strange to get so worked up over phonation, in this case what is correctly termed "the vocal fry register" (vocal fry). It's not cancer, it's not abuse, it's not war, it's just…as unnatural as hogs raised on concrete. It's just not right. And don't say it's an accent. It's not. It's an acquired speech pattern.
And where on earth did this phrase come from—"as unnatural as hogs raised on concrete?"
Well, Mrs. Hate's father raised hogs for some years, and those hogs were kept in a dirt pen so they could root around and wallow and do what hogs do best…just be hoggish. How unnatural would it be to raise hogs on concrete? Very.
And that's what vocal fry is like. Unnatural.
Grow up, ladies. Be yourself, whatever kind of accent you have. Just be authentic.

Thanks so much, I'm learning so much about the lives of HOodies and Wood
Ducks. I know that the single baby's chance of survival is small. I know
he was still enjoying life, at the neighbor's pond last night. I hope he
stays there, much too dangerous to travel back and forth with an active
fox family in the neighborhood.
Just to clarify, I saw the single little Woodie two years ago, have not
seen any Woodies here this year. Sounds like the female Hoodie I saw was
not the mom. It's all very interesting.
Thanks again, hope to hear more,

He's a bit of a banker for me. Mentally, Maxy was so strong and had a great technique. He gave Gloucestershire his all for a number of years. As an opener, there was no better guy to have at the other end as reassurance.
I crossed over with him in the seconds at the back end of his career, when he was suffering with thigh injuries. Such an attacking batsman, he just stood there and swung.
Kane spent two summers with us in 2011 and 2012, in my third year as a pro. He'd scored a couple of Test hundreds already by then, but still at a young age you could tell he was world-class in the way he prepared and went about things.
A loyal servant to the club, he scored a lot of runs over a long period of time. Hamish was also a big influence on me and I spent a lot of time learning from him.
On his day Alex could score so quickly and was one of the best on the circuit. He was a good guy, I got on really well with him and felt like we were really close by the time he moved.
He's got the potential to be one of the best on the circuit, as good as that. Gareth is worth a place in the side for his batting alone and his keeping is a handy bonus.
Will was the first name on the teamsheet when he played for us. He got 50 wickets and a 1,000 runs for us one season and was so reliable with bat and ball. A great bloke and a great person to have in the team.
He's got the potential to be a fantastic player. I haven't played a huge amount with him but think he's going to go far. Ryan is a really competitive character, runs in all day with the ball and can hit it really hard. Hopefully he'll be on our team sheet for a long time.
We played together for two or three seasons. He was so consistent with the ball and led our attack for many years. It's no surprise he's now passing on his knowledge as a coach.
Liam has some of the best numbers in the country over the last few seasons. He's doing his job day in day out, so it's a shame he's not getting a chance with England yet.
We had a couple of t20 stints with us. As a bowler he speaks for himself but he was almost the opposite of what I expected as a character. He was almost like a big kid, always wanting to have fun and inviting us round to his house for curries. As down-to-earth as you could have asked for.

Jedi Knight 4 Request sign now
In May of 1977, George Lucas released "Star Wars," a science-fiction epic that completely changed the way films were made and marketed. Thousands, perhaps now millions, of people came to love this film (later renamed "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope") and its two sequels: "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back" and "Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi." Years later many video games, books, comics, and other media has made "Star Wars" a huge hit.Children and adults of all ages fell in love with these films, games and novels within the galaxy far, far away
However, the movies were not enough for the young "Star Wars" fans, and video games have been made since the original Arcade game in the 1970's. By far the most popular action first-person game was " Jedi Knight: Dark Forces." Released in February of 1995 by Lucasarts. It was a huge hit, selling 952,000 copies world wide. It was such a hit, in fact, 3 more expansions, Mysteries Of The Sith, Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast, and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy were made from 1997 to 2003.
The fan base loved all of them, as did the reviewers giving all the expansions an average of 9.0 out of 10 stars. But the game wasn't the only thing that enticed the fans. Kyle Katarn: Mercenary, Imperial, Jedi. Everyone began to love the character that was seemingly a mixture between Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. The point of this petition, however, isn't to tell you how much we love Kyle Katarn, it is to tell you how much we'd love to see a Jedi Knight 4, continuing the story of Kyle Katarn, Jan Ors, and the other characters we've come to love.
To show you how much we mean it, please take the time to check out a few of these sites: http://www.massassi.net/ , http://www.jkdf2.net/, http://jediknight.net. All of these sites are based of the games and have been a part of the JK Community since the start. They are dedicated to making a stronger Jedi Knight Community, and as of September, 2007 all will be working together to bring back existing clans for the games, such as Jedi Knight Extremist and The Order Of Reborn Jedi to name a few major Jedi Knight and Mysteries Of The Sith clans.
This petition wasn't made to force Lucasarts to make a Jedi Knight 4, rather, it is designed to show you that you, Lucasarts, can and will benefit from it. We, the members of the Jedi Knight Fan Community, would like to thank you for bringing to us in the first place, and we would like to ask that you consider a fourth installment in the Jedi Knight game series.
All sites are Copyright their respective owners, and Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 is copyrighted by Lucasarts and Lucasfilm LTD.

Refreshing or Revolting: 2018 Audi Q5
Did Audi succeed in redesigning its best-selling model?
The second-generation Audi Q5 debuted at the Paris auto show this week, sporting a lighter body and more powerful engines. It also features a new design that more closely matches the look of the Q3 and Q7 crossovers. The question is: are the design changes too conservative, or just enough to keep the Q5 looking fresh against its competitors?
Although the new Q5 has grown in size, its proportions don't look much different from those of its predecessor. Up front, the first thing you're likely to notice is the slimmer headlights that replace the square modules on the old crossover. Like other new Audi models, the headlights are now attached to the grille. On the previous generation, Q5 models had vertical slats inside the grille and SQ5 models had horizontal ones. The new Q5 also features the horizontal slats and this pattern is repeated near the foglight units. A bolder chrome piece frames the edge of the grille, and subtle creases provide added definition to the hood.
From the side, the new Q5 looks similar to the old model. Chrome accents surround the windows and accentuate the vehicle's raked roofline. But the new model receives more well-defined hips, highlighted by the character line that runs the entire way from the hood, through the side doors, to the rear of the vehicle.
The back end of the Q5 adopts a squarer shape for 2018. New taillights give the Q5 a more menacing look. A sharp crease runs a straight line across the bottom of both taillights, and other deep creases frame the bumper area.
Fortunately, Audi gave the interior just as much attention, if not even more. The cabin of the 2018 Audi Q5 is a major upgrade from the outdated interior of the previous version. Much like the Q7, it receives a standalone display screen that sits on top of the dashboard. The gear shift has also been redesigned, and the vents and knobs have been repositioned. Overall, it's a cleaner, more refined look.
Do you think the 2018 Audi Q5 is refreshing or revolting? Let us know in the comments below.
Last week, we asked for your thoughts on the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, and the responses were mixed.
"Definitely refreshing. Well styled without being over the top," said NE Guy.
"I'd love to comment on the amazing interior that's light years ahead of the old one, but then again it took GM 7 years to get it here," Katie Pennington van Dijk lamented.

Why We Need to Embrace Roman Reigns
It's no secret that the good ol' world of Sports Entertainment is going through one of its lulls as of late, but as fans we stand by hoping things will change. We get disappointed, angry even, but there's still a lot to feel good about when it comes to WWE and God knows I'm trying to find it. One of the strongest feelings amongst the WWE Universe is that Roman Reigns sucks. He's not good enough to carry the mantle that so many superstars before have done so well. Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Shawn Michaels – they were never hated as much as Reigns seems to be. Maybe the audience has changed, maybe the older fans see him as unoriginal or bad on the mic, and even less interesting in the ring – who knows? I can't speak for those that can't stand him, but one thing I do believe is that Roman Reigns has all the hallmarks to lead the WWE into a new era.
Roman Reigns is at Raw week in and week out, fighting in house shows, facing the boos of the crowd every single night, and it's moulded him into a character that we should all embrace. He's good in the ring – no worse than Austin or Cena – and he has a good image. From the ashes of The Shield he was thrust into the limelight by Vince McMahon, and there's no denying he struggled to find his place. He wasn't right to be the man back then, the big dog, the future. He was still riding the coattails of The Shield's ethos and design, and it just didn't work. Rollins has become such a talented athlete and well-loved superstar, as has Ambrose, and both have created personas that work. It's taken some time, but Roman Reigns is there, ready to beat Brock Lesnar at Summerslam regardless of the reaction of the fans. He's a focused and determined athlete who gives everything for the fans, and whilst many do love him, it's clear he still has to win many people over.
But that's the thing – he doesn't care. He doesn't care about the boos or the hate. He's confident in his ability and he knows he's a headliner. Roman isn't arrogant, but he's simply found a way to acknowledge it and block it out. And don't forget, it isn't Reigns that has written his storylines, it's the WWE. Vince has paved a way for Roman to headline countless events and build yet another feud with Lesnar, but this time we're going to see a new side at Summerslam. If the fans start booing and protesting from the seats so be it. I'm sick and tired of the hate Reigns gets, but all he needs to do is put on the performance of his career. It may not win them over, but it'll hopefully shut some of them up. At Extreme Rules, the fans ruined Rollins and Ziggler's match by doing that irritating countdown after every minute, showing that even the most-liked Superstars aren't even safe.
The point is, people need to embrace Roman Reigns and appreciate him for what he is: a wrestler who's promos have improved tenfold over the last six months, and a character that has been built upon the hate he's received. He has done that on his own, and people need to appreciate that a bit more. These guys can only work with the opportunities they're given; his push after Wrestlemania 31 was definitely premature, but he never lacked drive or determination.
One of the main issues people have with Roman Reigns is his variety in the ring, and to a point I agree. He's a big man with seldom signature moves, but he excels when his opponents push him. His recent match with Bobby Lashley at Extreme Rules was excellent, and both put in a very physical performance. We all know he can perform well in certain situations, and hopefully as soon as he lifts the championship at Summerslam (providing there's no cashing in by Braun Strowman), he'll be able to pave a way to a successful title run and to the bosom of a crowd with little care for embracing him.
I wonder if we'll see Paul Heyman turn on Brock during the match and align himself with Reigns, making him a Paul Heyman Guy. Honestly, that'd be perfect because he can do heel very well (see his time in NXT). There're a lot of guys who are more babyface than heel and if Raw is losing Lesnar they need someone who'll fit that hole. I'm all for a Reigns heel turn, and if it was to happen at Summerslam I feel it will be another factor in helping him finally get over. Regardless, people could do worse than Reigns, and learning to appreciate who he is and how he's come on since The Shield wouldn't be a bad thing.
Whatever happens in the near future, just give him a chance. Don't jump on the bandwagon of haters – try to enjoy his matches. They can be great, and when he nails a promo, he NAILS a promo. I'll continue supporting Reigns in and out of the ring regardless of the constant negatively running through the veins of social media, but it might be worth taking a step back and see what I see – what many see in The Big Dog, Roman Reigns.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll denies retirement rumors
Seahawks fans can rest assured that coach Pete Carroll isn't planning on retiring just yet.
After reports began to circulate that Carroll may retire this offseason, the coach took to Twitter to deny all rumors.
"People talking about retirement... I ain't old enough to think about retiring!" Carroll wrote.
People talking about retirement... I ain't old enough to think about retiring! 🕺— Pete Carroll (@PeteCarroll) December 31, 2017
Carroll made his intentions known just a few hours before the Seahawks' regular-season finale against the Cardinals at CenturyLink Field on Sunday. The Seahawks need to win and the Falcons need to lose to the Panthers in order for Seattle to make the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season.
Carroll, 66, is the oldest active coach in the NFL, and has been leading Seattle since 2010. Throughout his tenure, he holds a 79-47-1 record while leading the Seahawks to a Super Bowl win against the Broncos to cap the 2013 season.
Carroll's current contract runs through the 2019 season after he signed an extension in the summer of 2016.

Behind "Flocons de Sel", one finds winter, naturally, as detected in its name's nod to "flakes," but there are all the other seasons, as well, each a source of infinite abundance at this year-round French resort.
Understanding South Africa, its history and the art which has accompanied its ongoing convulsions takes a little time, but perhaps the most important thing is to have a starting point. D'Ellerman House to Delaire Graff Estate including AtholPlace, Mr. Tripper makes us travel with the thread of art.
From Cape Town, it takes scarcely an hour to reach the Delaire Graff. The former vineyard, which has since expanded with a very exclusive lodge, has become an essential stop along the legendary and scenic Helshoogte Pass, a road crisscrossing some of the world's most beautiful countryside.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the heart's electrical activity to help evaluate its function and identify any problems that might exist. The ECG can help determine the rate and regularity of heartbeats, the size and position of the heart's chambers, and whether there is any damage present.
There is nothing painful about getting an ECG. The patient is asked to lie down, and a series of small metal tabs (called electrodes) are fixed to the skin with sticky papers. These electrodes are placed in a standard pattern on the shoulders, the chest, the wrists, and the ankles. After the electrodes are in place, the person is asked to hold still and, perhaps, to hold his or her breath briefly while the heartbeats are recorded for a short period. The patient also might be asked to get up and exercise for a while.
The information is interpreted by a machine and drawn as a graph. The graph consists of multiple waves, which reflect the activity of the heart. The height, length, and frequency of the waves are read in the following way:
A person's heartbeat should be consistent and even. ECGs look for abnormally slow and fast heart rates, abnormal rhythm patterns, conduction blocks (short-circuits of the heart's electrical impulses that cause rhythm inconsistencies between the upper and lower chambers) — and four types of heart damage:
Computerized ECGs can be combined with other tests to provide a multimedia account of the heart. These additional tests include echocardiograms (which are basically "ultrasound" tests that bounce sound off the heart and use the echoes to produce an image) and thallium scans (which are kind of like X-rays and use a radioactive tracer, injected into the bloodstream, to help draw a picture of the heart).
In the past, the ECG was recorded on a machine that drew on long strips of paper, with records from each electrode presented in a standard sequence. Now the ECG tracings are stored as computer files that can be called up and printed.
Results of the ECG are available immediately. In fact, the ECG machine's computer even provides an instant interpretation of the findings as it makes the report. However, the doctor also might ask an expert, usually a cardiologist, to help analyze and interpret the ECG.
Reference ranges for heart rate and the relative lengths and sizes of the various components of the heartbeat figures vary, and diagnostic differences may be subtle, requiring an expert eye to detect them.

5 ways to avoid "auction anxiety"
You're at an auction hoping to buy your dream home. You're amongst a bunch of strangers, some of whom are there to try to snatch it from under your nose… The auctioneer opens the bidding… Only one of you can walk away with it. Adrenaline pumping yet?
Australia is one of the world's leading countries when it comes to selling property by auction as opposed to private treaty – auction is generally how we do it here and it's not going away. But bidding for a home or investment at an auction can make even experienced buyers nervous.
Overpaying is the number one hurdle buyers face at an auction. They also tell us that the second biggest response is a general fear of knowing how and when to bid in public. And it seems this fear can be traced back to a buyer's underlying anxiety that they will miss out and be back searching the web next week.
Some buyers are genuinely petrified of bidding in public. And it's even more daunting for first time buyers. Sydney teacher and first time buyer Isabelle Selwyn says that the toughest part of the process was wondering if she loved the place enough to put all her savings into it. "I kept thinking, maybe something better will come along? If I had to go to auction I'd stress most about knowing how high to bid and when to stop," she says.
"The easy part was having the right people to guide me – mortgage broker, conveyancer, building inspector. They were all very experienced, which made the tough decisions easier."
To arm yourself with auction how, here are our top five expert tips. And some of his advice might surprise you as there's a lot of popular misconceptions out there.
1. Don't discount communicating with the agent
Prior to auction some buyers don't want to seem too keen around agents. But in most cases the agents will help you and answer any questions you might have. And if it sells prior to auction you may miss out as a potential buyer.
2. Don't set just one limit – especially not one that ends in a zero
Don't set one limit, set two. The first is the ideal limit that you'd like to pay, the second represents your own walk away price. And make sure that doesn't end in a zero or a five, because that's what most people do. Odd numbers could get you the property.
3. Don't be afraid – stand your ground
When you're bidding don't let the property go because you're distracted by the auction process. If you need to, be vocal, speak to the auctioneer or agent. Ask for a minute's breather, or a chat, to gather your thoughts.
4. Don't bid small toward the end
Some people will tell you to bring the bidding right down at the end but numbers like five hundred dollars just invites in competition. Five thousand dollars, however, will cause hesitation and that's what you want.
5. Don't second guess other bidders
You don't know what that other bidder's budget is – and everyone has one. Just focus on your own intent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Looking for the answer? Look no further:
The exact details of any estimate will depend on the kind of stone you have, the location and the traffic conditions. However any stone restoration estimate should be in writing and give a clear statement of the state of your floor, a clear explanation of the work needed to restore your floor to the desired condition and a fixed price for the work.
There are several reasons. Amongst the more common reasons are: maintain an attractive appearance, protect the significant investment in your stone floor, a healthier living environment, avoiding further damage to your property, increased property value and peace of mind.
The majority of our domestic work can be completed in one or two days. However, as we are a full-service stone floor restoration contractor, there are some larger scale jobs that may take many days to complete. In every case, our estimate will clarify the expected completion time.
It really depends on the work we need to do. Our estimates are free of charge for this very reason. We have the training and experience to recommend the most practical and economical solution for your particular situation. In general, smaller jobs may only be a few hundred pounds; larger scale jobs can be several thousand pounds.
A beautiful stone floor will help you maximise the value of your house. Prospective purchasers may be concerned at the cost of restoring and maintaining a stone floor, especially if they have little or no experience in looking after stone flooring.
We restore all sizes of stone floor. Small stone floors, especially those in bathrooms, shower areas and bathrooms often need more hand work because they are too small for heavy stone machinery.
Polished concrete flooring was first introduced in the industrial environment due to its ability to reflect light & incredible durability and resistance. The process involves the removal of the top layer (concrete cream) to expose the aggregate. Once enough material has been removed the concrete polishing process starts with course honing. Working right through to the polishing stage to give the depth & clarity of shine.
The Benefits of a Polished Concrete Flooring
Longest-Lasting Flooring option Available:- A professionally polished concrete floor is the most durable, long lasting flooring option available. We do not add a synthetic topping to the concrete to ensure we expose the raw beauty of the concrete floor delivering a lively a shine. We recommend that polished concrete flooring is refurbished every 3-4 years to ensure a consistent shine, a re-polish can be done at a fraction of the cost of any other floor system. Meaning polished concrete flooring will outlast just about any other flooring in a domestic or commercial environment.
Increased ambient lighting:- The natural shine of the floor gives enhanced beauty & acts as a natural, even light source – this reduces the requirement for artificial lighting.
Higher levels of co-efficient of friction:- ( Slip reduction) Polished concrete flooring surfaces meet and most often exceed, OSHA standards, when wet or dry. When a concrete floor is polished, it can look like a layer of glass or water has been placed over the top. Its friction co-efficient is higher than ordinary concrete, meaning that you are much less likely to slip on a polished concrete floor making it ideal for commercial use.
Decrease in floor maintenance:- The polished surface provides less drag on cleaning equipment; making brushes, pads and mops last longer. The polished surface is known as a Belby layer & is tightly compacted so much so it can repel oil, grease, paint and other spills & contaminants. This makes a cleaning and maintenance schedules less demanding saving time and money.
An economical option:- After the instillation cost a polished concrete floor is one of the most economical & cost effective flooring solution for most situations. The decrease in costs associated with cleaning & maintenance polished concrete floors save hundreds if not thousands of pounds each year, not to mention that there is no need for regular professional overhauls due to the long-last durability. Polished concrete is a budget sensible, as well as beautiful, flooring system.
No Need for Stripping and Waxing:- A polished concrete floor does not require regular sealing, waxing or stripping. The stronger natural polished surface will continue to look good with minimal intervention for years to come.
Desirability & Beauty:- A polished concrete floor is very highly regarded due to the appearance & practicality within any environment from warehouse floors through to modern kitchen floors. With a choice in colours and design, polished concrete flooring has quickly become a common site across hotels, airports, warehouses and new build houses.
Concrete Floor Maintenance
As previously mentioned the polished concrete is easy to clean and we can advise & supply the equipment you will require. All you need for the daily cleaning is specific stone cleaning solution. By following the recommended maintenance instructions you can make the cleaning easy & extend the floors life.
Concrete Polishing Options – We over four options for finishing your concrete floor;
Platinum produces the glossiest finish and is the concept we normally recommend to our customers. This is the most impressive option with high gloss results, perfect for a new floor in a modern home. It involves more grinding stages than the other concepts. The result is an unbeatably durable floor.
In a commercial environment Folk lift truck wheels and substances leave no marks on the glossy surface and light reflects gently off the floor.The polished concrete floor surface is then sealed for a long lasting shine. ( stage 4 on the diagram above)
Using the Gold package, we do not grind as deep into the concrete as with Platinum. This means that less ballast or aggregate is exposed. Just like the other concepts, Gold then involves polishing the floor with specific diamonds to achieve a gloss that is almost as brilliant as a Platinum finish. Gold produces a floor with excellent resistance to marks from spills. The Gold package is ideal for concrete floors that are already even and level. ( stage 3 on the diagram)
The Silver package doesn't cut quite as deep into the concrete as the Platinum package. Once the aggregate layer is exposed we will begin to hone the concrete surface to produce a satin finish rather than high gloss. (stage 2 on the diagram)
The ballast or agrigate is exposed as with Gold & Platinum. Silver is therefore excellent if you want a floor with a matt or satin surface finish. Concrete floor surface is then sealed.
Bronze is the concept with the least number of grinding and polishing stages. This concept does not involve exposing the construction concrete. Instead, the top layer of the surface paste is polished but not removed. This process creates a stronger surface paste with a shiny finish. (stage 1 on the diagram)
The polished concrete floor surface is then sealed.
Commercial Concrete Polishing
We are regularly contracted to finish concrete aprons after installations. The durability & reduced maintenance of a polished concrete surface makes it the most economical & practical floor solution for high traffic commercial & industrial areas.

Ground Control picks up 7th prestigious RoSPA Award
Ground Control Ltd is a winner at the RoSPA Health and Safety Awards 2017!
Ground Control has achieved the Gold Medal Award for 7 consecutive Golds, in the prestigious annual scheme run by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
Ground Control was presented with the award during a ceremony at ExCeL, London on Tuesday 20th June 2017, where the company also exhibited at the Facilities Show. The award has been achieved during a special year for family-safety charity RoSPA, as it celebrates its centenary.
Through the RoSPA Awards scheme, which is open to businesses and organisations of all types and sizes from across the UK and overseas, judges consider entrants' overarching occupational health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement. The awards are now in its 61st year.
Julia Small, RoSPA's head of awards and events, said: "The RoSPA Awards are the most prestigious in the world of occupational health and safety, and held in high regard around the world, as winning one demonstrates an organisation's commitment to maintaining an excellent health and safety record. Achieving the standard required is no mean feat.
"This is a special year in the history of RoSPA, and we congratulate all of our winners in this, our centenary year".
Ground Control's HSQE Compliance Officer, Carl Powell commented; "What a great achievement, our 7th consecutive Gold Medal Award from RoSPA! Thanks go to all our teams, for their continued commitment and dedication to health and safety; for checking their machines, reporting near misses, participating in audits, delivering toolbox talks, preparing risk assessments and working safely each and every day – all of which is a real credit to the HSQE team's hard work and determination to promote safe working practice across the board. We are very proud to have achieved this fantastic recognition once again. Well done and thank you to all."

Fiberglass Composite Panels for Security
Ballistic-grade armor used to be specified based primarily on material hardness, hence the pervasive use of steel plates in body armor and vehicular plating. When a projectile strikes a hard surface it can either ricochet, shatter, or penetrate the material. The ideal situation is that a bullet will impact the hard surface of the plate and fracture. The impacting force will disperse as the shrapnel from the shattered bullet spreads out, protecting the safe side of the plate. Yet there is no guarantee that bullets will strike armor panels with the ideal trajectory.

I'm so pleased to share my experience with TOP GUN REALTOR James Baker.
It's not often you find someone that truly exhibits Honesty and Trust, A man of his Word.
James was referred by my Son, instantly James said, "We are Family!" and never once did I feel different. I wanted a seasoned realtor that I could trust, be transparent, and YUP that was James.
James went through the whole process of selling our family home, step by step. As if he had a crystal ball. Guess what?!? Our home sold in 4 days, YES, I said 4 days not a typo. He said it would sell FAST. I guess he did have a crystal ball after all. From his first visit to our home, to the great staging tips and sprucing up for the open house, to the 14 over asking price offers, to the bidding war, to the best solid offer, to the home inspection and appraisal and closing on the day he estimated!! WOW a man of HIS WORD! James was on point; His accuracy of his work deserves Top Rank. Another great thing about James was his communication skills, keeping my family in the loop, his genuine personality stands out, James knows his business – PROFICIENT and MAJESTIC.
I'm very Thankful James made selling our home so EASY and peaceful, our collaboration made it a win-win for us all. His character – Truthful, Gentle and Joyful.
He deserves praise for his expertise on buying and selling homes … he is the best… TRUE THAT!
We are going to miss James' calls, emails, texts for updates, he was awesome to work with, the total of 74 days flew by.
Friends forever??? NO – Family Forever. I wish James and his Beautiful Wife and Children – Godspeed.
Tammy, Trenon, Richard, Dana & Robin – The Porter House.

"This is a digital painting I completed recently on Paint Tool Sai with a drawing tablet. I was really fascinated by how striking and dramatic gray, white, black, and red look as a color combination, and I had also been inspired by the pattern on a woman's dress at church. Some of my favorite things to draw are flowers and cute outfits. I also really like paintings with a lot of different details that still go together and create an interesting pattern."
"My favorite style of art is Hyper-Realism, since it has a raw way of demonstrating how people are feeling. My grandparents were a great subject because I wanted to share the connection they have with me to everyone else. I used charcoal with Q-Tips to create a more Hyper-Realistic look to capture the emotions in my grandpa's face. For the background I also used water and brush over my charcoal to help create a more dramatic texture. This was a time-consuming process and took about 36 hours. I ended up gifting this piece to them because of what it meant to me."

Yesterday I took my veggie chili and tweaked it slightly. I halved the vinegar, substituted cocoa for cinnamon, and doubled the cocoa.
It wasn't bad, had a definite mole flavor (not intentional, but also not surprising), but I think I prefer the normal recipe. Maybe next time I'll try substituting tamarind paste for the tomatoes and vinegar. But if I get my peppers smoked first, I'll probably try it with fresh smoked peppers!

Atef Sa'ad's Reuters Reports Belie His Talents
Below are excerpts from the latest of many editions of the Reuters story headlined "Israel kills 2 gunmen, teen in West Bank Offensive" about the deaths of three people, including one teenager in the occupied West Bank on Friday. It carries the byline by the Palestinian journalist Atef Sa'ad. In earlier editions the headline is "Israel kills 3 gunmen, pushes ahead with offensive." And some editions indicate that the story includes "additional reporting by Mohammed Assadi in Ramallah and Nidalal-Mughrabi in Gaza [with] writing by Jeffrey Heller in Jerusalem.
By Atef Sa'ad
NABLUS, West Bank, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed two Palestinian gunmen and a teenager in the occupied West Bank on Friday, pressing ahead with raids against militants despite a halt to cross-border rocket salvoes from the Gaza Strip.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, part of Fatah, said two fighters died in an army raid on Balata refugee camp in Nablus. Troops later shot dead a 13-year-old stone-thrower in nearby Askar camp, witnesses said.
On Thursday, Israeli troops shot dead three gunmen in West Bank raids. Hundreds of suspected militants have been detained by Israeli forces in sweeps in the territory over the past week.
Atef Sa'ad is an excellent journalist. To see just how fine a journalist he is, read "Hunger in Nablus' Old City," a story which appeared in Palestine Report in 2002, when Nablus was reoccupied by Israel.
"Suddenly the wall exploded," said the woman. "They burst in like beasts. First there were three and then six and then there were twelve of them. Even though they put a hole in the wall, they still insisted on searching the rest of the house. You can see the mess they left behind."
She fell silent and returned to her crying child before saying, "We have nothing left to ward off our hunger. Nothing more than this can of milk."
"What the Israeli tanks and bulldozers have done in the old city is a destruction of the civil society and shows the evil desire of our occupiers to eliminate everything that is cultured and beautiful," says Shaka'a. "It is a systematic destruction of the infrastructure, of everyday life. People have been without work for too long without an income. The army is making it very difficult and sometimes very dangerous for urgent services to be provided to the people."
But it is not from Atef Sa'ad that we even learn the names of the fallen resistance fighters and the teenage boy, who was just thirteen (although the age is mentioned in some Reuters editions). From Saed Banoura of International Middle East Media Center we learn the name of the child, Adi Khaled Tantawi, 13, who was shot through the heart in Askar refugee camp, and the names of the men, who were also resistance fighters, who were killed in Balata Refugee Camp, which the Israeli Occupation Forces surrounded and then invaded. "The two fighters killed in the attack were identified as, Al Teerawi, one of the prominent leaders of the brigades in Nablus, and Jamal Jeremy." Jamal Jeremy and Al Teerawi's home was invaded by hostile; we would expect our young men to defend them.
Even in the latest version of Sa'ad's story the Palestinians' names are not mentioned. They remain gunmen, although Adi is referred to as a "teen," The Israeli Occupation Forces who surrounded and invaded Balata camp are not referred to as "gunmen"; they are "Israeli forces."
Over three hundred Palestinians who were arrested include doctors, teachers, and other professionals, but the word "militant" is used to dehumanise them in Sa'ad's story. I do not think that Sa'ad did this intentionally; we learn that he did not even write the story which has his byline.
To its credit, Reuters ran a video on its site [no longer accessible] which showed friends and relatives of Al Teerawi and Jermi's paying their last respects. By showing this footage, Reuters humanises Palestinians to counter the effects of the story, which through use of diction which dehumanises, does nothing to further understanding of the conflict.

Parent's Guide
BBYHA Parent and Player Expectations
- For parents: The BBYHA Guide for Parents provides information on what to expect, and what is expected of you, as a parent of a BBYHA hockey player.
- For players: All players agree to abide by the BBYHA Player Code of Conduct for 10U, 12U, 14U or BBYHA Player Code of Conduct for 8U. Please review these expectations and the consequences for violations with your player.
Playing Hockey as a Youth Athlete
American Development Model
The Bloomington Blades Youth Hockey Association endorses the USA Hockey American Development Model. The ADM provides age-appropriate guidelines that are intended to help our kids enjoy hockey and develop their skills in a way that is appropriate for their stage of development. For more information on the American Development Model, visit our ADM information page.
Age-appropriate hockey: Should my child "play up"?
In almost all cases, children should play in the age group . The BBYHA endorses and follows the USA Hockey player age classifications and philosophies. USA Hockey has done extensive research on the appropriate developmental progression of youth hockey players, with a focus on long-term development. There are rare exceptions, but "playing up" is not in the best interest of a child's development as a hockey player, results in less game ice time and critical "puck touches," and also exposes the child to increased chance of injury. USA Hockey recently published a couple of good articles on this subject: 10U: Should My Child Be 'Playing Up' and 8U Q-and-A: Racing to Adulthood.
Other Reading for Parents
Hockey Gear in Bloomington
Travel players will generally want to purchase their own equipment. Check with your team manager, who may be able to help you find someone else's outgrown gear. Many parents offer up outgrown but still usable hockey gear at our beginning-of-season gatherings and we are working to develop a new approach to making this sustainable throughout the year.
Rental gear is primarily intended for house players, but any travel player wanting to rent equipment may do so subject to availability. Please contact your team manager for more information.
All travel hockey players must be registered with USA Hockey and BBYHA. These two registrations need to be complete before practices begin for the season (August). Your child will not be permitted to practice unless USA Hockey and BBYHA registrations have been completed.
All 8U, 10U, and 12U division Bloomington Blades Travel players must also register for Bloomington Parks and Rec House Hockey.
Practice and Tournaments
10U/12U/14U teams begin practice in Columbus, IN, in August.
Seeding for the Buckeye Hockey League begins in September.
Practice in Bloomington for all age groups begins in October, as does House Hockey for 8U/10U/12U players.
The number of travel games each year varies depending on age group.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A longtime effort to put lifesaving devices in every Philadelphia school is just about complete.
It started 14 years ago, with a donation of 70 Automated External Defibrillators to Philadelphia high schools from the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association.
More donations covered middle schools, and this year the district is footing the bill for more than 100 AEDs in elementary schools with the goal of having one in all 220 district schools by the end of the month.

It's a victory for AED advocate Rachel Moyer, who lost her son to cardiac arrest in 2000.
"My son walked off the court at halftime after playing basketball," she said. "And he has collapsed in the locker room."
The district's Executive Director of Health, Safety and Physical Education Bettyann Creighton said, "The first thing everybody says when we provide an AED to a building is, 'What about the training?'"
Principals gathered at school headquarters last week to acquaint themselves with the heart-shocking devices.
PPA Offers City Residents Parking 101 Course
"Stay calm," she said. "Follow these instructions."
The devices cost about $1,500 each. The district is continuing to seek donations through The Fund for the School District of Philadelphia to replace aging AEDs.

Global Psoriasis Treatment Market: Snapshot
The alarming rise in the number of psoriasis patients is having the most prominent impact on the global market for psoriasis treatment. With the increasing FDA approval for novel drugs and therapies for psoriasis treatment, the market is likely to surge remarkably over the next few years. Apart from this, the presence of a strong product pipeline and the growing awareness regarding psoriasis and its treatment among people in emerging economies are also projected to propel this market in the near future.
View Report: https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/psoriasis-treatment-market.html
According to Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global market for psoriasis treatment offered an opportunity worth US$7.8 bn in 2015. Researchers estimate this market to rise at a CAGR of 5.10% between 2016 and 2024 and reach US$12.1 bn by 2024.
TNF Inhibitors Report Higher Demand
TNF Inhibitors, interleukin blockers, and vitamin D analogues or combination have emerged as the key products available in the worldwide market for psoriasis treatment. Driven by superior efficiency and safety, TNF inhibitors are reporting a higher demand than other products in this market. By 2024, the segment is expected to remain on top with an estimated share of more than 47% in the overall market. However, the introduction of biosimilars may limit this demand to some extent in the years to come.
Interleukin blockers, on the flip side, is projected to present a lucrative growth opportunity to market players over the coming years due to their augmenting usage and their ability to act selectively by targeting the proteins.

Increasing Pool of Psoriasis Patients to Ensure North America's Dominance
On the basis of geography, Latin America, North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific are considered as the prime regional market for psoriasis treatment. North America has surfaced as the key contributor to this market and is likely to retain this position in the near future. The remarkable rise in the patient pool suffering from psoriasis is projected to boost this regional market over the coming years. The presence of well-established drugmakers is also expected to have positive influence on the North America market for psoriasis treatment in the years to come.
Europe, although currently having a strong position in the overall market, is likely to experience a decline in the demand psoriasis treatment, following an intense competition from biosimilars over the next few years. Latin America and Asia Pacific, on the other hand, are anticipated to witness a significant rise in their respective markets over the next few years. The increasing awareness regarding psoriasis and its treatment among people in emerging economies, such as China and India, through various government and NGO campaigns is projected to stimulate the Asia Pacific market for psoriasis treatment considerably in the near future.
