Built by @kixxauth
A JavaScript library to shim Node.js with the upcoming JavaScript Promise API. There are a lot of libraries that do this already:
but they all do a lot of other stuff too, which you may or may not want, and not all of them fully implement the new Promise object that will be available soon. IOU is designed to simply bring promises to Node.js in as small a package as possible. There are no bells and whistles, no dependencies, just a simple API that should allow you to transition to the native Promise API as soon as it arrives in Node land.
The most common use of IOU is to use it as a library. In that case, just
include it in your Node.js project by adding a line for IOU in your
pacakge.json. For more information about your
package.json file, you should
check out the npm documentation by running
npm help json.
Alternatively, you can quickly install IOU for use in a project by running
npm install iou
which will install iou in your
node_modules/ folder.
You can create a new promise with the constructor, passing it a block of code in the form of a callback function. Inside that block of code is where the asynchronous call is made, and the promise is resolved or rejected:
var FS = require('fs') , IOU = require('iou') var readmePromise = new IOU.Promise(function (resolve, reject) { FS.readFile('README.md', {encoding: 'utf8'}, function (err, text) { if (err) return reject(err); return resolve(text); });})
Once you have a promise, you can add handlers:
function printText(text) { console.log(text);} // The text String you passed into resolve() will get passed to printText().readmePromise.then(printText);
Add an error handler too:
// Create an error handling function.function die(err) { console.error(err.stack); process.exit(1);} // The text String you passed into resolve() will get passed to printText(),// and the Error you passed into reject() will get passed to die().readmePromise.then(printText, die); // We can improve this even more. By passing console.log as the success// handler, we don't even need our printText() function.readmePromise.then(console.log, die);
Promises become super powerful in JavaScript when we need to compose a series of actions into a process where some of those actions involve asynchronous operations.
function printWordCount(path) { // Notice how obvious it is to understand what is happening here. Each of // these functions will be called in the order given, but only after each // previous one completes any asynchronous operations. readFile(path) .then(joinLines) .then(splitWords) .then(countWords) .then(console.log) .catch(die) // If any errors are thrown in any of the functions in the chain, or if any // of them rejects a promise, `catch(die)` will catch and handle them.} function readFile(path) { var promise = new IOU.Promise(function (resolve, reject) { FS.readFile(path, {encoding: 'utf8'}, function (err, text) { if (err) return reject(err); return resolve(text); }); })} function joinLines(text) { return text.split('\n').join(' ');} function splitWords(text) { return text.split(' ');} function countWords(words) { return words.length;} function die(err) { console.error(err.stack); process.exit(1);}
API Quick Reference
Module import
Import IOU using require like this:
var IOU = require('iou')
Promise Constructor
Construct a Promise instance by passing in a block of code in the form of a
callback function. Your callback function will be passed a resolve function
and reject function as arguments. Use
resolve(value) to resolve your promise
to a given value, or use
reject(err) to reject it with an Error.
// Assuming you've already imported IOU like above: var FS = require('fs') var promise = new IOU.Promise(function (resolve, reject) { FS.readFile('README.md', {encoding: 'utf8'}, function (err, text) { if (err) return reject(err); return resolve(text); });})
Once you have a Promise instance, you can attach resolve and reject listeners
then(onResolve, onReject). The first parameter
onResolve(value) will
be passed the resolved value of the promise if it succeeds. The second
onReject(err) will be passed the rejected Error of the promise if
it ends up getting rejected.
If you only care about rejections, you can pass
null in place of
onResolve(), and if you want to skip handling rejections then don't pass in
onReject() handler at all.
then() method returns the promise, so you can chain it to compose a
sequence of actions, which is really powerful.
// Assuming we're using the promise we created above: // Listen for both the resolved value, or rejected error: promise.then(console.log, console.error); // Listen for resolved values only: promise.then(console.log); // Listen for the rejected error only: promise.then(null, console.error); // Chain calls to `then()` like in the example code earlier: readFile(path) .then(joinLines, console.error) .then(splitWords, console.error) .then(countWords, console.error) .then(console.log, console.error)
This is really just an alias for
then(null, onReject). This is a pattern that
is good to use, since it catches any possible thrown errors or rejected promises
that have not been handled in the chain.
// Simple use: promise.then(console.log).catch(console.error); // A global error handler. function die(err) { console.error(err.stack); process.exit(1); } // console.log() and console.error() should never throw, but if we pretend // that they would, then using catch() would handle thrown errors or // rejections from either of them. promise.then(console.log, console.error).catch(die); // catch() becomes much more useful in chaining, where errors or rejections // can bubble up the chain and eventually all be caught by the handler given // to catch() (aptly named). A good example comes from the example code from // earlier: readFile(path) .then(joinLines) .then(splitWords) .then(countWords) .then(console.log) .catch(die)
Sometimes you need to simply pass back a promise from a normal synchronous
function instead of a value. That's what the
Promise.resolve() class method
allows you to do.
// This function does not perform any asynchronous operations, but could be// used in a promise.then() chain if we return a promise instance.function getDaysInYear() { return IOU.Promise.resolve(365);} getDaysInYear().then(otherThing).catch(errorHandler);
Other times you need to turn an error into a rejection. That's what the
Promise.reject() class method is used for. This is particularly useful in a
resolved handler, where the rejection will get passed to the next rejection
function catchEmptyFile(text) { if (!text) { var err = new Error("Empty file"); // Use Promise.reject() to pass an error through the promise chain. If you // didn't do this, then the next success handler would be called instead of // the error handler. return IOU.Promise.reject(err); } return text;} function die(err) { console.error(err.stack); process.exit(1);} // Using Promise.reject() in catchEmptyFile() will cause an empty file error// to be caught by catch(die), and console.log will never be called. promise.then(catchEmptyFile).then(console.log).catch(die);
Promise.cast() method simply takes any value as an argument, and creates
a promise out of it. The only difference between this method and
Promise.resolve() is that if the value is already a promise, then that
promise is returned, while
Promise.resolve() always returns a new Promise.
Promise.all() class method collects an array of promises and returns a
new promise that will only be resolved if all of the promises resolve. If any
one of them rejects, then the new promise returned by Promise.all() will reject
with the first rejection.
Normal non-Promise values can also be passed in the array to
and they will be casted to a Promise instance.
function printAll(texts) { console.log.call(console, texts);} var promises = [readFile('./config.yaml'), "host: localhost", readFile('/home/kris/config.yaml')]IOU.Promise.all(promises).then(printAll).catch(die);
To run the tests, just do
./manage test
A list of checkmarks followed by
OK means the tests succeeded. Anything else
should print out a stack trace for you, indicating a test failure.

I really don't know what she was thinking, when she chose that look for a red carpet for the most important event of the year. Then we have celebrities which are beautiful, but simply their sense of style didn't work this time. So here check my worst dressed list.
Aquí viene la mejor parte de Oscar, me refiero a las celebridades peor vestidas, las mejores vestidas podéis ver aquí. Como siempre hay algunos que simplemente se olvidaron de que van a los Oscar como Diane Warren. Realmente no sé lo que estaba pensando, cuando eligió ese look para la alfombra roja del evento más importante del año. Después tenemos las celebridades, quienes son guapísimas sino simplemente su sentido de estilo no funcionó esta vez. Aquí os dejo con mi lista de las peor vestidas.
Heidi Klum in Marchesa. It simply didn't work, not her colour, not her shape. Lately I'm quite disappointment with her looks.
Jared Leto in Gucci. I've simply no words, he simply looked ridiculous in that suit and red flower.
Actress Kate Capshaw, Steven Spielberg's wife, tried apparently to copy her husband in this tuxedo-style look, terrible.
Kate Winslet in Ralph Lauren, I love her, but I really hate that dress, it was shining like a garbage bag. Sorry not sorry.
Orlando Jones - no no no! I hate that jacket. I think he forgot it's Oscars.
Sandy Powell - no words, I simply don't understand what she was thinking. I hate that look.
Sophie Turner in Galvan, she is so beautiful, such a shame she decided for this number. This dress has no shape and no colour. It would work only as pyjamas.

Reviewed by Jason Zingale
he problem with giving a television show a glowing review once is that when it comes time to review the next season, your expectations are almost always unreasonably high. In my review of the first batch of "One Piece" episodes, I noted that the series "had the potential to become one of the best [animes] ever." But after sitting through the second volume of Season One, my statement doesn't feel quite as relevant. Maybe it's that the initial allure of the series has worn off, or that the villains just aren't as interesting this time around, because while First Voyage made me believe that "One Piece" was something special, Second Voyage only proved that I may have passed judgment a little too soon.
Picking up where Episode 13 left off, Luffy and the rest of the gang are still engaged in battle with the Black Cat Pirates – now joined by their former captain, Kuro, who plans to dispose of the Black Cats himself after he kills Kaya and takes over her estate. Not to be defeated by someone as disloyal as Kuro, Luffy uses his Gum Gum powers to put an end to his evil plot, and as reward for helping save the village, Kaya presents him with his very own ship. After convincing Usopp to join the crew on a permanent basis, the Straw Hats set sail to recruit more pirates for their trip to the Grand Line. When fate lands them smack dab in the middle of a battle between the kitchen crew of a sea-based restaurant and the notorious pirate captain Don Krieg, however, Luffy meets his next potential recruit: Sanji, a no-nonsense cook with a mean roundhouse kick. There's just one problem. Sanji isn't interested in joining the crew, and in order to change his mind, Luffy must help him defeat Krieg and his band of misfit pirates.
Though the second volume deals almost exclusively with the Straw Hats' altercations with the Black Cat Pirates and Don Krieg, the best episodes are those that step away from the battle in order to provide backstory for the main characters. In First Voyage, there was an entire episode dedicated to how Luffy came to receive the straw hat he loves so much, and in Second Voyage, there's even more flashback goodness. An entire episode is dedicated to the origin behind Zoro's famed Three Sword Style, while "The Illusory All Blue" jumps back and forth in time to explain how Sanji came to meet Red Foot Zeff (the pirate chef he now works for), and why he's so intent on protecting the man's restaurant. Even when the show is deep into the Don Krieg saga, the series still finds time to massage certain subplots – like when Zoro takes on master swordsman Hawk-Eye Mihawk (the man he believes he needs to beat to be the best in the world) and fails... miserably.
With so much great character development in this batch of episodes, it may seem strange to criticize Second Voyage so harshly, but while there are some great moments included, the rest of the volume is pretty ho-hum. Neither Kuro nor Don Krieg are especially magnetic villains, and though the brief appearance of Hawk-Eye Mihawk injects some life into the second half of the set, it doesn't help that he doesn't stick around. Not even the introduction of Sanji, perhaps the most interesting character in the series, changes the fact that for some reason, the Don Krieg saga isn't nearly as cool as it should be. That may be remedied when the third volume (and thus the remainder of that saga) is released, but until then, I'm holding Funimation responsible. "One Piece" might still go down as one of the best animes ever made, but until Funimation figures out a better way to release these sets without interrupting the story, it's never going to be as great as it could be.
Special Features: It's slim pickings once again as the only extras Funimation has included are trailers, textless songs, and a lone audio commentary with producer Mike McFarland and voice actors Luci Christian (Nami) and Sonny Strait (Usopp).

Working to make life better on a limited income can be a frustrating and a seemingly hopeless task, especially when you've done everything possible to reduce household expenses. Perhaps you've reached a point where you're following a bare bones budget and have limited your lifestyle to the absolute essentials. Living this way may lower your debt and help you save, but it will be a time filled with drudgery and very little fun. Before you lose hope and think that this is all that life has to offer, try more creative ways to reduce your expenses.
Our Throw Away Society
There's no denying that we live in a throw-away culture. Cheap goods and one-time-use merchandise is the standard in today's society. The message works to sell volumes of stuff that can then be tossed in the trash and results in a vicious cycle of consumerism. We've all bought into the gimmick and continue to spend precious resources on things that could easily be used multiple times; we've gotten into the habit of just trashing and replacing old, gently-used items that are still useful.
The strategy of reducing waste to lower your debt is not only economical, but it's life-changing for many people. By living in a more simple and frugal way, you will experience a full life on less. You'll learn to use products to their full potential, re-purpose previously disposed items, reduce waste and find fulfillment in simple pleasures.
1 – Cancel Services You Don't Need
The opportunities to reduce waste and save money are endless. Begin by examining the biggest discretionary spending in your budget to see if you can cut or reduce items or services without compromising the things you enjoy. The goal is to live on less – not to live less. Services that may be painless to eliminate or modify include:
- Cable TV: Ditch the cable completely or at the very least cut the movie channels and stop using pay-per-view or on-demand.
- Gym Membership: Cancel your expensive gym membership. Try a local community center or try working out outside or at home.
- Newspaper / Magazines: Some people still prefer reading a newspaper or magazine, but you can get the same information online for FREE.
- Phone Service: Drop excessive cell phone services and / or landlines; reduce your minutes and sign up for a family plan.
2- RecycLE & Reuse
When most people think about recycling they think about curbside pick-up or a nearby recycling center where recyclable goods can be dropped off and forgotten. While this type of recycling is helpful to the environment and the ecology of the planet, the type of recycling we're referring to is better known as "re-purposing." It's simply about finding new ways to use items you would have normally thrown away.
Re-purposing will be a benefit in several ways. Less trash will end up in landfills and you'll need to replace fewer items since you've fulfilled these needs with re-purposed ones. Some things to consider re-purposing:
- Flip side of printer paper for notes and drawing paper
- Plastic grocery bags as small trash can liners
- Paper grocery bags for packaging or storage
- Old clothing as rags for cleaning and dusting
- Toothbrushes as grout cleaners
- Glass jars for drinking glasses or vases
3- Buy in BULK
Buying in bulk can mean substantial savings. Non-perishable goods are easy to handle when you have sufficient storage space to accommodate the larger sizes. Perishable food products that require refrigeration may not be an economical advantage bought in bulk unless you can effectively store or divide and share with a family member or friend.
4 – Avoid Disposable Products
Many of us assume that a product marketed as 'convenient' will make life easier, but once you begin eliminating disposable 'convenience' products from your home, you'll see big savings and the changes required to incorporate non-disposable versions of these products into your life aren't any less convenient. Even changes that don't save time or aren't any more convenient will be worth it when you see how much money you save, i.e., ditching disposable for cloth diapers. Cut waste by eliminating disposable products by replacing paper napkins and towels with cloth versions, tissue for handkerchiefs and prepackaged or canned items for products in glass jars.
5 – Homemade Instead of Bought
Books and Internet blogs are cropping up that provide free, easy instructions on making your own products – household cleaning, personal care, baking mixes and other conveniences. Not only will you lower the cost of these items but you'll be improving the quality of your life by using products in purer forms than the chemical laden ones sold in stores. In addition, homemade products will be fresher, more natural and healthier for your family and the environment than commercially packaged items.
Cutting waste to reduce debt begins with how you shop. Perhaps the biggest waste of resources is the money spent on frivolous purchases. Where you choose to spend your money will also affect your success rate. Whether you shop online or enjoy window shopping at the mall, never buy on impulse but take the time to comparison shop to find the lowest price. For the truly savvy consumer, resale shops are a new trend in conservation and a big advantage to anyone looking to spend less on essentials while optimizing their options to repay and reduce their debt.

Currie Cup - Round 14 Preview
Crunch time in South Africa
October 8, 2009
Western Province speedster Sireli Naqelevuki will be hoping to propel his side to the top of the table this weekend © Getty Images
This weekend sees the final round of the regular season in this year's Currie Cup with the remaining semi-final place yet to be decided.
Western Province and the Sharks can rest easy in the knowledge that their place in the last four is assured but they will however be targeting a top-of-the-table finish that will guarantee them home advantage should they progress to the final.
Behind the leaders the Blue Bulls are also post-season bound thanks to their 61-27 thumping of the Griquas last time out leaving the latter and the Free State Cheetahs to battle it out for the final berth this weekend.
The Griquas are in pole position with a four point advantage over the Cheetahs and as a result a two-point haul from their final clash with high-flying Sharks in Kimberley on Saturday would extend their season.
The Griquas received a boost earlier this week when captain Jonathan Mokuena was given the green light for the game earlier this week by a SARU disciplinary hearing that was convened as a result of three yellow cards. But the Sharks have also been bolstered by the return of centre Riaan Swanepoel and prop John Smit.
Free State travel to Wellington to take on Boland with flanker Heinrich Brussow back in their line-up while Danwel Demas gets the nod on the right wing. And in a surprise move Coenie Oosthuizen will pack down at tight-head instead of his usual loose-head berth.
The Blue Bulls will tackle the Leopards in Potchefstroom with fit-again lock Bakkies Botha in their ranks following the Springbok's recovery from a medial ligament injury. He will link up once again with international colleague Victor Matfield while Danie Rossouw will pack down at the back of the scrum in the place of the injured Pierre Spies.
A hamstring injury for Bryan Habana sees Gerhard van den Heever fill the No.11 shirt with scrum-half Fourie du Preez named among the replacements.
In the weekend's other game Western Province, who lead the table on points difference, tackle the Golden Lions at Ellis Park without injured prop Brok Harris and flanker Schalk Burger who continues to battle back from a rib injury.
Winger Gio Apolon can expect to see some action off the bench as he completes his recovery from an ankle injury while the side will once again be led by Luke Watson - fresh from a hat-trick of tries last weekend. The Lions appear to be relatively injury-free with Earl Rose set to feature at fullback.

FACT and Channels video artist bursary winner announced
10 November 2015
We recently joined forces with the Australian Video Art Festival Channels to search for new video art talent exploring contemporary issues around Memory, Time, Space and Identity and we're delighted to announce the winner is artist duo Kihlberg & Henry!
The panel received a total of 120 submissions by video artists from all over the world, exploring Memory, Time, Space and Identity in relation to the blurred boundaries between digital and the 'real', and the jury has selected artist duo Kihlberg & Henry's Apeirophobic Framework as the best video and the winner of the Channels and FACT competition - watch the film here.
The artists said of the piece: "Apeirophobic Framework explores problematic and poetic possibilities of understanding in relation to ideas of time, future and artistic practice. The term 'Apeirophobia', meaning fear of the future or fear of infinity, is taken as a strategy for approaching an event with simultaneous relationship to its past, present and future, especially where there is a possibility to envisage an infinity. This infinity might be experienced equally in an exhibition of objects, the expanses of the internet or within the loose parameters of language."
The winning team, Kihlberg & Henry, will receive a bursary of £2,000 to support the production of a new piece of work, which will be showcased on national media arts player artplayer.tv and CANVAS, the UK Multi Channel Network for the arts. The winners will also be put forward for exhibiting in Hong Kong as part of ISEA 2016, as well as being invited to join the selection panel for the following year's competition.
The themes around the increased ubiquity of digital experience stated in the call for submissions were directly inspired by the Human Futures project and related exhibitions, which is an international collaboration between cultural partners in Liverpool, Aarhus, Berlin, Vienna and Montreal, seeking to incite a process of reevaluation in how we conceive our surroundings.
The competition shortlist, ranging from 3D graphic masterpieces and 8mm film to smartphone footage, is showcased on Channels video channel on artplayer.tv. Channels 2015 took place in Melbourne and online from 18 to 27 September 2015 offering ten days of a series of exhibitions, screenings, talks, performances, and workshops disrupting reality, challenging the historical context of video and its future progressions in an increasingly tech-saturated world. All submissions can be watched on a dedicated FACT and Channels YouTube channel.
This year's panel of judges included:
- visual artist Shona Illingworth, who works across sound, film, video, photography, drawing and painting. Her work combines interdisciplinary research (particularly with emerging neuropsychological models of memory and critical approaches to memory studies) with publicly engaged practice
- Sarah Tutton, Senior Curator at Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), Melbourne
- Rory MacBeth Practicing artist and Head of Fine Art at Liverpool John Moores University;
- art collective Soda_Jerk who work with video installations and experimental film based in New York.
You can watch the winning entry by Kihlberg & Henry here.

"It's hard to believe that four weeks after the quake, so many people still live under bed sheets in camps and on the street," said Christophe Fournier, MSF's International President who recently returned from Haiti. "Where it can, MSF has been distributing tents as well as hygiene kits and cooking supplies, but it is mainly concentrating on providing medical care. "One can only wonder how there could be such a huge gap between the promise of a massive financial influx into the country and the slow pace of distribution. MSF is concerned that with the onset of the rainy season, we'll be facing new medical emergencies, when people who are living without shelter, come to us with diarrhoea or respiratory infections."Two weeks after this statement hundreds of thousands of Haitians remain without shelter. According to the February 25 OCHA update:
To date, over 131,000 tarpaulins have been distributed along with 23,000 family size tents, which means a 33 per cent coverage of the current shelter needs.This would mean that roughly 870,000 people of the estimated 1.3 million in need are still without shelter.

Nourishing and damaging
With time, I can tear away a rough exterior or simply reshape it.
I am timeless
And yet do not have enough time
I am a child of God
And he is in everything
He is in me
And I am in everything.

In the pan heat the oil over high heat and add the green onions. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the salt and pepper and stir for a few seconds. Add the pineapple jelly and plum sauce cook for a couple of minutes and stir in the Sriracha. Stir and slowly drop all but 1 cup of the pineapple chunks (be careful of the splash-- it burns) into the pan. Cook for 5 minutes then remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
Remove the cooked pineapple from the pan and put into a blender with the pineapple juice and 8 cups water, and grind until the pineapple chunks disappear. Pour the pineapple mixture and the sauce from the pan into a bowl and mix well. Thinly slice the reserved pineapple and mix into the bowl.
Use this sauce on pork or as a marinade for grilled shrimp.

From all the vines of this high level, Cannubi can boast of centuries old fame. The oldest known bottle of the Langa, infact, has a label that says "Cannubi 1732". The name Cannubi has always served to give importance to the wineries of the area, like a true and real mark of quality. It is interesting to note, that in the past, the producers always used the grapes provided from this hill in blends with others much less prestigious, so much so that the Cantina Sociale di Barolo, fonded in 1902 (and closed in 1930 due to an economic crisis), produced only Barolo of first, second and third selections. Naturally Cannubi with considered the first.
The vineyard elevation lies between 185 and 350 meters above sea level.
The terrain has a rather gentle slope, it is arid and lean and mainly composed of silt loam(Terziario-Miocene) with the presence of sand. This particular composition of terrain, united by the micro-climate of the zone are the fundamental components to obtain grapes that express themselves in elegant wine that one can drink well from the first year of bottling.

Have you heard of the latest "problem" department stores are facing? Its not shoplifting…its shopdropping.
Check out this article about how the reverse of shoplifting is happening to brands like Diesel and 7 for All Mankind. I guess the question is, will these folks get in trouble for the mischief they are getting into? I mean, can you really be arrested for leaving a CD single in a pair of jeans? Hmmm….

Julia Cheng founded CyberLaw Studio to fulfill a desire to make quality legal services accessible to entrepreneurs. Here, she shares her insight on the impending explosion of domains and how this may impact treps.
Domain mania may be about to hit
On the Internet today we see just 22 generic top-level domains (gTLDs), such as .com, .net, .org, .biz, etc. Some may find that number overwhelming. Others may have an appetite for more, and their dream may soon come true.
ICANN, the domain name system governing body, is reviewing over 1,900 applications. If approved, these new gTLDs (web suffixes) may be introduced by year-end. Website registry companies like Donuts, a $100m startup, spent $55 million to apply for more than 300 gTLDs. (It costs $185,000 to apply for a new gTLD).
Applications for new gTLDs include: .music, .hotel, .buy, .property and .realestate. The new gTLDs include not only English domain names, but also new gTLDs in Japanese, Arabic and Chinese.
What does this mean for trademark owners?
What trademark owners will likely see is an increased cost and policing effort required to enforce their trademark rights. A trademark registration owner has the right to stop a third party from using exact or similar domain names. But this is only if the third party is offering goods and services that are related to the owner's.
For example, Mr. Smith owns a trademark registration for the mark "Purple Moon" and sells clothing via his website "www.purplemoon.com." He may be able to stop another business from using the domain name "purplemoon.biz." But only if that business sells clothing using the mark, not if that business offers spa services. A strategy would be to purchase as many similar domain names as possible to prevent third parties from purchasing them.
With the increased numbers of generic top-level domains, trademark owners with websites will need to purchase more domain names with new gTLDs. This is to protect themselves from businesses that use similar names but offer different product or service lines.
Going back to our example, if the new gTLDs are introduced, Mr. Smith should:
- Purchase similar "purple moon" domain names ending in.com, .biz., .net, etc.
- Purchase similar "purple moon" domain names ending in new gTLDs such as .fashion, .shop, .clothing
- If Mr. Smith's online shop operates in cities like Tokyo, he needs to purchase Japanese translations of .fashion, .shop and .clothing.
How trademark owners can protect their rights
ICANN has proposed protection mechanisms that are available to trademark owners if they register their marks with the Trademark Clearing House. One of the protection mechanisms is the "claims service."
Once registered, trademark owners are notified when a third party attempts to register a domain name identical to the owner's mark. The Clearinghouse will also notify the third party of potential infringement. Once notified, an owner must decide whether to challenge the domain name through various legal measures, which will incur costs.
Another protection mechanism available is the "sunrise registrations." Sunrise registrations allow owners to register marks in new gTLDs within the 30-day period before the general public can register domain names.
To register with the Clearinghouse, the trademark owner will need a valid trademark registration and provide proof of use.
Registration fees are:
- $150 per mark per year
- $435 per mark for three years
- $725 per mark for five years
New generic top-level domains are likely to be available to the public starting late summer 2013.
Trademark Clearing House launched its online registration system on March 26th, and ICANN's goal was to set up the sunrise and claims system by end of June, beginning of July.
But entities like Verisign have raised concerns that the delegation of new gTLDs is premature. These entities feel that the delegation can cause risks to the stability and security of the DNS (domain name system). They also feel it may affect the operation of the Internet.
Whether the 1,000 or more new gTLDs will be launched by year end remains to be seen. Treps should consult with IP attorneys now to devise strategies to protect trademarks before the impending explosion of new gTLDs

Best Dishes
Best Pancakes
Frontier Restaurant
A pile of steaming-hot cakes, fresh out of the pan, slathered in maple syrup with a dab of butter floating in the center of it all like the unblinking eye of God himself—could there possibly be a more beautiful way to start your morning? We don't think so. And, of course, you can sink your teeth into the winners at Frontier earlier than those at most other restaurants, because everyone's favorite big yellow barn is open around the clock. With three locations scattered throughout the area, it's easy to get your pancake fix at the Range Café and Bakery, too, which is a good thing, since they came in second place. Third went to another University area favorite, the packed and popular Mannie's Family Restaurant.

Curiosity's self-portrait
I'm on travel in the UK right now – I'm filming a part for a documentary which I'll talk more about in a later post – but I want to make sure you get a chance to see this really quite fun self-portrait the Mars Curiosity rover took over the weekend:
[Click to narcissusenate.]
I love how it almost looks like the rover is surprised to see itself.
The picture was taken by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), a camera mounted on the end of the robot arm. It's designed to look up close at specimens of rocks or whatever else the rover happens to see as it rolls across Mars. It has a transparent dust cover on it, which is why the image is a bit fuzzy. It's covered in Mars dust!
But engineers commanded the dust cover to flip open, and then it took this picture looking straight down (again, click to embiggen). Those may just look like rocks, but they're rocks on Mars! That alone makes them awesome. But in fact pictures like this will tell scientists back home volumes about the geology of Mars, and the history of its surface in this region.
Even just looking at how the rocks are laid out can be telling; water flowing over a rocky area redistributes rocks in certain patterns, and that can be seen right away in pictures. A lot of science can be gleaned just from a shot like this. But the rover can also drill into this surface, scoop up samples to test, or zap them with its laser to see what they're made of. All in all, this is the little rover that could… which is actually a big rover that does.

Why wouldn't the engineers flip open the cover for the self portrait?
Mars rocks!
@Dotan Cohen, consider how much dust is on that dust cover. Now, consider how much dust it wouldn't pick up when directed down, where it's normally directed, rather than facing a potentially dust laden wind making that self-portrait.
Of course, some of MY best self-portraits were taken with the dust cover on. 😉
:@Dotan Cohen (#1)
Two reasons, i guess:
1) Flipping the cover is a mechanical thing and they are reducing the use of mechanical systems for non-scientific purposes, as those are the systems most prone to wear and failure resulting from use.
2) Artistically – and the shot is taken solely for artistic/marketing reasons – its arguable if the covered shot with the dusty look (very Martian, after all) isn't better than the no-cover version, or at least close.
Combine the two, and I'd also take the shot with the cover.
They should have had a dust cover for the dust cover.
Wonder why they don't have some kind of canister of inert gas that can be used to blow dust off the solar panels on these rovers? Is the added weight/complexity not worth the effort? Maybe they don't want to introduce any foreign substances into the Mars environment. If that's the case, then they probably would have done it if they could have captured some of the Martian atmosphere to do the blowing off of the dust. Again, too complex? Not necessary?
Curiosity has a Red Dwarf Cat moment:
"How'm I lookin'? Hey, I'm lookin' good!"
Curiosity isn't powered by solar panels, for one. Spirit and Opportunity are, but that is because they are small enough to 'get around' on solar power. I suspect that adding the weight of a tank and compressor and valves etc would bump the weight up prohibitively…
But…what about a nice set of windshield wipers…? (/sarcasm)
I would have though they could have put a small compressor on the thing that would allow it to clean lenses. There's enough atmosphere on Mars that it should be viable.
I'm one handsome robot 😀
This photo is a bit like the photos you often see that people take of themselves using their cell phone cameras held at arm's length. At least this photo has a subject with a little class – and who else is there to take its picture?
Number Five is Alive
Haa, o yeah, the pareidolia thing! You know what, it looks like an old boyfriend of mine – he had red hair. Curiosity looks just like him!
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking about Short Circuit. "Johnny Five is Alive… On Mars!"
(Short Circuit 3 potential plot? Johnny Five gets mistaken for a Mars rover and is sent into space. He must now find a way back home before his battery runs out.)
@6,8 Mike and kevbo: The best way to get rid of dust is to be under a Martian dust devil. But they don't know how to summon one on command.
It has indeed a very cool kinda "number 5 alive" kinda feel.
Love it!
Maybe just being paranoid and over-cautious here, but every time you tweet from London I want to tweet back just to remind you to look the opposite way when crossing the streets, especially on the corners. Most corners should have a sign painted on the ground telling you to look right (versus the normal looking left when first crossing a road).
But when you're a bit tired or distracted or hungry, it is easy to forget. And when those black London cabs are whipping around the corner from the opposite direction you think they'll come, you're going to have a London experience you either won't ever forget….or will never remember…if you step out while looking the wrong way.
So be careful.
Will Curiousity post this to its Facebook page?
And yes, I thought of Number Five too! Wall-E springs to mind also, but Curiousity isn't as cute as he is.
It's obviously the (apparently slightly bizarre) way I think, but I was thinking of bicephalic twins looking at each other.
It amuses me that every component has to have an acronym. Just the other day I was talking on my Bat Hand-Held Communicator (BHHC) with my Bat Maternal Unit (BMU) and she was telling me how her Mother Feline Quadruped Entity 3 (MFQE3) had been watching the Australia Tele-Visual Information Dissemination and Entertainment Nexus (ATVIDEN, code-name BoobTube) when pictures of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover (code-name Curiosity) came on, and he hid under the Soft Object For Arses (SOFA). How about that?
This is funny. It looks like the robot has some attitude too. Its name is curiosity and as the name implies, it seems to be curious of its own self and the surroundings. It is actually sent to explore Mars to gather information about its habitability, water availability, climate and geology. Its not just some cheeky robot with some flashy camera.
Like a laughing Pierson's Puppeteer.
The best thing about the Short Circuit connection is that this robot does, in fact, have a laser.
Only updated for the post-Austin Powers world, the fricken laser is on its fricken head.
I love that it has a Penny, issued in 1909 attached to the camera calibration chart. A penny minted more than a hundred years ago… minted before the Titanic sank… and now it's on Mars. That's pretty damned cool, if you ask me.
I want self-portrait without dust cover.
Nice selfie Curiosity!

A good colleague of mine came up with a good idea. Or better said, a good mindset. For a while now in Scrum there is something known as Scrumbut. It's like the Pino in Prince2 (Prince in name only). We Scrum….but.. and then the excuse why you are not fully doing Scrum. "We are doing Scrum but only do the daily standup, the planning is done by the project-manager" . I know of a lot of companies and teams who do Scrumbut. They only do a little cherry picking and avoid the more challenging parts of Scrum. "Yeah we do a weekly standup" or "We do sprints of six weeks" and so on.
A lot of people are doing Scrum but only do a few things. They think that it will work. Scrum has only nine basic things you need to get it running. These nine things (three roles, three artifacts and three meeting) are needed to get it to work. Every single one of these nine scrum things has a purpose. It is there for a reason. If you leave them out, your Scrum-process might not work and you get Scrumbut. Now why is this dangerous? When a company is doing Scrumbut and it does not work, they immediately blame Scrum. "Yeah we did Scrum but it did not work for us." But when I ask such a company why it does not work, I get all the wrongs and hear the stuff they did not do. So that's why my collogue said. You either Scrum or you don't. And even if it looks a bit like you are doing it. Don't name it Scrum. Call it something else.
It is all about an image and a mindset. If you do it right you can name it what it is. If you are doing it just partially it is something else but not Scrum or scrumbut or scrum-almost-doing-it.
So ask yourself the question. Can you say the words with you head held high. To Scrum or not to Scrum, that is the question.
Thanks to Rien Walraven of Centric, credits paid where credits due.

Actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Jagga Jasoos opposite Katrina Kaif, said that as a kid he was very bad in studies and his mother Neetu Kapoor used to threaten him about complaining to his father Rishi Kapoor. He was happy that there was no Twitter at that time otherwise his father would have revealed his poor grades on social media. The handsome hunk also stated that he is the most educated member in his family.
"My mother used to come to my school when the results were declared. I would always apologise and say, 'I'll work harder, get good marks and won't fail in any subjects'. Mom would say if she saw a red line in my report card, she would tell dad. I used to cry because I was very scared of him," Ranbir told reporters.
"Good thing is back then there was no Twitter. Otherwise I don't know what he (Rishi) would've written," Ranbir said at a special Jagga Jasoos event during which he interacted with school children.
"My family's history isn't that good. My father failed in 8th grade, my uncle in 9th and my grandfather in 6th. I am actually the most educated member in my family. I got 56 per cent in my 10th boards and my best of five percentage was 60."
The actor said since he was a below average student in school, he started playing football.
Jagga Jasoos is directed by Anurag Basu and is slated to release on July 14.

SEASIDE >> Let children's imaginations run wild and they'll come up outlandish stories. Like the one of the ostrich getting sick from eating hamburgers at a famous fast food restaurant. Or the mean pet sitter who's cruel to dogs and a baby elephant. Or the Rastafarian genie who grants a kid his wish to turn his father into a pig.
But like Aesop's fables, all the stories have a moral. Eating just hamburgers makes you fat. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Mother Earth will not last forever if she's not taken care of.
At the end of a four-week summer camp, where about 180 migrant students received math, English, and a healthy dosage of art instruction, the budding thespians staged their fantasies for their parents to see during the closing ceremony Wednesday of the Junior Otters summer academy.
Held at CSU Monterey Bay, Junior Otters is a summer program that brings together several organizations, including the Monterey County Office of Education and El Teatro Campesino, to offer summer activities for migrant children in grades 4 to 8.
Although the program has always had an academic component, this year there's a stronger emphasis on language development, said Ernesto Vela, director of Migrant Education Region XVI, which encompasses Monterey County.
"We feel that theater goes hand in hand with language development," Vela said. "In previous years we had general academic intervention, this year we had a strong focus on language."
Also new this year was the participation of about 50 students from South Monterey County, children who braved the hour-plus trip from King City to CSUMB every day for the chance to have additional educational opportunities.
"They've all finished," Clementina Delgado, a parent advisor for migrant education said in Spanish. "We're very proud to see the children participating (in this program). We want them to visualize the idea to be (at the university), we want them to achieve more than we have."
As the 50th anniversary of the founding of El Teatro Campesino nears, playwright Luis Valdez said the theatre troupe continues doing the work it set out to do half a century ago, when it was inspiring farmworkers to keep fighting for their rights and also to teach them certain aspects of the farmworker struggle.
"They did not know what a boycott was, so we dramatized it for them. What a union contract was. Concepts like seniority, we put together actors that demonstrated for the workers what they were," Valdez told The Herald before his keynote speech for the ceremony. "Teatro became an educational tool as well as an inspirational tool, those aspects have not changed."
What Teatro Campesino now does, in addition to providing students with tools to interpret their own world, is try to keep them from losing their imaginative powers and ability to improvise and take joy in the creative process, Valdez said.
"Arts are a means of empowerment," he said. "You don't have to be rich or educated, you only need to know what God's given you."
It is the first time that Mari Mendoza, 28, brought her daughter to a summer camp like this, she said. A lettuce harvester from Yuma, Mendoza said there were no similar opportunities in Arizona, and her 9-year-old daughter is fascinated.
"She's very happy," Mendoza said. "She's not from here and she already has lots of friends. She doesn't want to go back to Yuma, she wants to stay here."
Isa?as Lopez, 45, enrolled his two sons and a nephew in the summer camp and he's impressed with the level of organization and the services offered.
"The boys are very happy, excited," he said. "They're happy to be in their play."

Top Citi analyst Tom Fitzpatrick's team sent King World News three extraordinary gold charts illustrating why gold is headed for a massive $2,000+ gain from current levels. KWN is pleased to share this information with with our global readers. Below is what top Citi analyst Fitzpatrick's team had to say along with three very powerful charts.
Fitzpatrick's Team: "On a medium-to-long-term basis we remain very bullish on Gold. However, it remains too early to call this correction lower as over, and we still believe that a lower low close to $1,260 can be seen. If so, we suspect that will be a platform for a much higher move in the months and indeed years ahead. The Equity market may also be instrumental in this story.
That low (in gold) was hit at $682 in October 2008, and within 3 years Gold had rallied to $1,921. A similar fall and rally would see Gold at $1260 near-term and then above $3,500 by 2016. That $3,500 number resonates with us for a number of reasons. When Gold rallied in 1970-1980, it went from $35 to $850 (It multiplied over 24 times).
However, in looking at our long-term target and comparing it to this 1970's period (Our favorite comparative period to today), we truncated our expectations (A 24 fold rally from the 1999-2001 lows of just over $250 would suggest over $6,000 for Gold)….
"Why did we reduce our expectations? While the reasons for Gold going up are (in our view) as strong if not stronger than that period (hard currency), the final move in that trend was "event driven." On December 27, 1979 the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and the Gold price surged from the pre-Christmas level of $473 to a peak of $850 by January 21, 1980.
If you exclude that move, then Gold had multiplied by a factor of about 13.5 from the start of the uptrend at $35. A 13.5 fold multiplying of Gold from the $254 low in 2001 gives us a price around $3,430 (Very similar to what we would see if Gold first went to $1,260, in a move like 2008, and then saw a move like 2008-2011).
Within this (1970s) bull market, Gold had a severe correction in 1975-1976 as the Equity market recovered back towards the 1973-1974 pre-crash peak. This time we have managed to overcome the 2007 peak but it has taken twice as long and has needed zero interest rates, multiple QEs and trillion $ deficits. Is that a better or worse performance than the 70's????

When you work with other people there are subtle, yet crucial differences between split profits and partnering. Here are the basic ideas…
First, whoever owns the vendor object gets 100% of the customer's payment when that object is purchased. This is just how SL works, and has nothing to do with any vendor system. When someone pays money to an object you own, you get the money.
But, think about what else this means. If you own the vendor object, that means you also own the entire product itself. That's because you can't put something into your Inventory Server that you don't own. So this means that even if someone helped you create all or part of your product, they would have given it to you at least with copy/transfer permissions, making you the final owner of the product.
The term "split" is really a bit of a misnomer. "Split" implies that you get part of the money coming in, but part of it is somehow diverted to someone else. This isn't the case! You get 100% of the money. If you want someone else to also make money from this sale, then you have to pay them from your account. The split feature of a vendor system is intended to do this automatically for you, based on who you tell it to pay, and how much. As the sale is recorded, the system simply pays the split target the amount you specify, taking it from your account. That's why splits require debit permissions.
Now, what if the person you're working with doesn't want to give you the item with copy/transfer perms, and wants to retain full ownership of the item they create, even though it's selling in your store? You cannot place this item in your Inventory Server, and thus you cannot sell this item from a vendor object you own.
The owner of the item has to sell this item from their own vendor. But, if they do that, then the purchase will not show up under your redelivery terminal, any store credit earned will not be credited to the customer under your store, etc. All that sales data would go to the store of the owner of the vendor object.
This is where partnering comes in!
Partnering allows the vendor owner to say "I want sales of this item to be part of someone else's store, instead of my store." So whether a customer buys an item owned by you, or by your partner, the item still shows up your store's redelivery page, any buyer's rewards still affect their credit balance in your store, etc.
In version 4, partner mode can be applied to every vendor on a region, or only to specific vendors.

Nokia X2, the last member of the Android powered Nokia X series (from Microsoft) has landed in the Indian shores. The phone is hugely improved from the 1st generation Nokia X devices and tries to fix a lot of usability issues present in them, but unfortunately the X2 not going to gain as much attention as they got. Especially because the market is flooded by smartphones from other manufacturers, targeting the similar price point.
Key Specifications of the Nokia X2 Android Phone
Nokia X2 is a Dual-SIM phone with a 4.3-inch WVGA touchscreen and a 1.2 Ghz Dual-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 gives it the processing power. There is 1GB of RAM packed into the phone which should be enough for running a bunch of apps and doing some normal multitasking. The back camera is a usual 5MP which does have Auto-Focus and there is LED flash for some night time photography. There is a camera at the front, but it is a mere 0.3 MP which is just for some video calling and selfie shouldn't be a thing for it. The inbuilt memory is 4GB out of which around 2.5 GB will be accessible by the user.
Other key features of the device include the Nokia Glance Screen, Double tap to wake, scratch resistant glass (not gorilla), Free 7GB storage at OneDrive. It runs the Nokia X Platform 2.0 which is based on Android 4.3 and drops most of the Google Services, but is hugely improved from what was offered in 1st gen devices such as the X2. It now has two capacitive keys which are helpful in switching between the apps and returning to the homescreen.
Price of Nokia X2 in India
Nokia X2 is available in Orange, Green, White and Black. It is priced at ₹8699 on the official Nokia Store, but Flipkart (not from WSRetail) is selling it for a little higher price of ₹8990. However, little researching around and finding some coupons can help you in grabbing it for a bit cheaper price.
Flipkart Link | Nokia Shop Link
Nokia X2 will be directly competing with the Lumia 530, Motorola Moto E, Xiaomi Redmi 1S and the Asus Zenfone 4. There are however certain features which may give the Nokia X2 an edge over the others, but that's all about individual preferences and budget.

NEW YORK --Scientists have found two Earth-sized planets orbiting a distant star. That's an encouraging sign for prospects of finding life in outer space, because scientists figure planets the size of ours are a good place to look.
The newly identified planets are too hot to support life as we know it. But their discovery shows that the Kepler spacecraft is capable of finding Earth-sized planets rather than just bigger ones.
The Kepler has turned up possible Earth-sized planets before, but the new report provides confirmation of the sightings.
The work was reported online by the journal Nature.

The notion of #Devops serves to accelerate time to market through greater cohesion in the release management life cycle.
So called 'service virtualisation', such as offerings from IBM and CA LISA, enables modular testing practise by learning typical behaviour patterns of defined systems. The effect is a more tightly focused testing process that reduces the dependency on external (inert) services.
Release Automation, such as in the newly acquired Nolio solution, allows the testing process to be further streamlined by providing cohesion through the multistage process. The benefits are most highly felt where complex dependencies and configurations add magnitude to setup and teardown for QA.
Agile methods need agile release management processes, and this is the whole point of #Devops. However the risks in this agile thinking come in end- to-end performance.
The missing link here is provided by prerelease Capacity Planning (such as provided by CA Performance Optimizer) , a virtual integration lab that brings together the performance and capacity footprints of each component in the production service. And while some of those components may be changing and therefore measured through the release management process, others are not - and are measured in production. Creating and assimilating component performance models allows the impact of each sprint to show on IT operations.
Capacity Planning is a true #Devops process. Only by adapting the capacity plan to take into account the step changes due to software release, can the risks of poor scalability and damaging impact be accurately guarded against.

OTTAWA— As most of you know, I am a firm believer in physical activity in all its forms. I taught my daughters early in life how important it is to remain active, and I am doing likewise with my grandchildren. It therefore gives me great pleasure to celebrate National Health and Fitness Day.
Sports play an important part in my daily life, as they do for millions of others, and I know that it can be challenging to find the time in our busy schedules to play a sport or exercise. But the benefits linked to physical activity have been shown time and time again, and new research in this area bears this out: moving has many benefits for the body and does wonders for the soul.
On this day, I invite all Canadians to try something new—walk, run, swim or cycle—and take advantage of our vast and majestic country to enjoy the fresh air.
Let us all make the commitment to a healthy body, healthy mind and healthy nation!

Saints chairman gets firm on transfers
Southampton chairman Ralph Krueger put his foot down in an attempt to end the trend of players vacating St Mary's in the close-season.
Rickie Lambert, Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana, Calum Chambers and Dejan Lovren have all departed the Saints since their eighth-place finish in the 2013-14 Premier League.
And with Tottenham - managed by former boss Mauricio Pochettino - looming for the services of Morgan Schneiderlin and Jay Rodriguez, Kreuger said he has had enough of his players jumping ship after such a promising league campaign.
While Kreuger admitted disillusioned players had to be let go to maintain a positive team culture, he said manager Ronald Koeman also needed the likes of Schneiderlin and Rodriguez to build around.
"You cannot begin a Premier League season with half of your starters disgruntled," he said.
"That was clear to us so we needed to be willing, if a premium was hit, to let players go. We got our premium but we came to a clear conclusion that Morgan and Jay were not going to be sold.
"It's clear that certain players when Ronald came in were flagged as potential core players long term, within their positions."
Schneiderlin tweeted his disappointment with Southampton after meeting with the club last week, claiming his relationship with the coastal club had been "destroyed".
But Kreuger neglected to hit out at the France midfielder, and also reiterated his belief the £10m offer from Spurs was insufficient.
"I don't take anything personally," Krueger said, in relation to Schneiderlin's tweet.
"We are dealing with human beings. People are communicating with different styles now.
"You will have these kind of situations all through the season. You will never have 25 players going, 'Yeah I love everybody here'.
"But when I sign a contract, the understanding I have is that I have to be prepared to fulfil that contract and anything else that develops needs to be a win-win situation.
"It was a win-win on those other [transfer] situations for both sides."

George Santayana Quotes About ImmortalityQuotes about: Immortality
... even if Lucretius was wrong, and the soul is immortal, it is nevertheless steadily changing its interests and its possessions.Our lives are mortal if our soul is not; and the sentiment which reconciled Lucretius to death is as much needed if we are to face many deaths, as if we are to face only one.
It would be hard to conceive a system of instincts more nicely adjusted, where the constituents should represent or support one another better. The husband has an interest in protecting the wife, she in serving the husband. The weaker gains in authority and safety, the wilder and more unconcerned finds a help-mate at home to take thought of his daily necessities. Parents lend children their experience and a vicarious memory; children endow their parents with a vicarious immortality.

- Scheduling to suit your needs: home and hospital visits
About NuvaRing
NuvaRing was FDA approved for use in the U.S. in October 2001. It is a small ring that is inserted at home into the vagina once a month to prevent pregnancy. The ring releases two synthetic hormones, which help prevent ovulation and also reduce the odds of sperm penetration. One of these hormones, etonogestral (a synthetic progestin), has been shown in studies to significantly increase the risk of blood clots known as venous thromboembolism, which could be fatal. This synthetic hormone is so dangerous that in 2007 the advocacy group Public Citizen petitioned an FDA ban on it. Because NuvaRing releases hormones directly into the blood stream, it carries a higher risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart problems than traditional birth control pills.
NuvaRing Problems
All forms of hormone birth control present a risk of side effects, but this risk is higher with NuvaRing than it is with birth control pills. Since its release, NuvaRing has been linked to more than 300 reports of serious injury or health complications Common side effects of NuvaRing include:
- Yeast infections
- Nausea
- Weight gain
- Headaches
- In addition to these relatively mild side effects, NuvaRing users are also at risk for some potentially fatal side effecs, which may include:
- Pulmonary embolism
- Blood clots
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Myocardial infarction
- Heart arrhythmia
- Gallbladder disease and possible gallbladder removal
- Deep vein thrombosis
These serious NuvaRing side effects can cause severe and permanent organ damage, oxygen deprivation, amputation, and even death.
NuvaRing FDA Warnings
In 2005, the FDA mandated that heightened warnings be provided to NuvaRing users, and they added more warnings to NuvaRing labels in 2008. These warnings are for doctors and their patients, and they state that blood clots and other NuvaRing side effects are a risk, and that this risk is heightened for women who have a history of hypertension, blood clots, or heart disease. If you use NuvaRing and have any of these pre-existing conditions, you need to be aware of the symptoms of NuvaRing injuries so that you can intercept any problems before they become more serious.

VENTURA, Calif. --A newly imposed controversial fire prevention fee is meeting much opposition from Ventura County residents.
The state has begun billing Ventura County residents up to $150 for fire protection services.
Ventura County and its fire department oppose the yearly fee, saying residents living in the 'state responsibility area' are already paying for fire protection.
The area consists of state and privately owned forest, and up to 9,000 parcels in Ventura County may be subject to the fee.
The money provides funding for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection budget, also known as Cal FIRE. No new services will be provided in exchange for the fee.

Similar polygons
Congruent vs similar
Before we dig deeper into this chapter of similar polygons, we first have to clarify what is the difference between congruent and similar shapes.
When two shapes are congruent, this means that they are exactly the same in size and shape. You can put the two side by side and see that they are an exact replica of each other.
When it comes to similar shapes, these are shapes that have the same shape but are different in size. You may have worked with similar triangles before, and they're a good example of what similar means. It may be that between the two shapes, one of them is smaller, or one of them is larger. What relates the two shapes is that there's a constant scale factor between them. You'll see this in scale diagrams.
How to find scale factor
Let's say you've got two figures: figure A and figure B. They are both similar, and figure B is an enlargement of figure A. How do you go about finding the scale factor between the two?
The scale factor, as a reminder, is a ratio, so what we're looking for is a ratio that can relate figure A and B. You can calculate the scale factor when you've got an enlargement by putting a side of the bigger figure divided by the smaller figure. That is:
In this case, it would mean that the scale factor of the enlargement = B side/A side.
Alternatively, if you were looking at the scale factor of a reduction you'd put the smaller figure's side over the bigger figure's side. That is:
Are the following figures similar?
Here is where we'll teach you how to tell if figures are similar. We learned about both congruent and similar shapes, but we're working with similar polygons in this chapter. After this, you should grasp the basic concept of finding a scale factor and determining whether two shapes are similar.
Question 1:
Is each pair of the polygons similar?
Use the corresponding sides between the two shapes to calculate the ratio.
We get the same ratios when we take different sides of the polygon. We can therefore conclude that they are similar
Question 2:
Is each pair of the pentagons similar?
Once again, use the corresponding sides to calculate the ratio
We can stop from here and conclude that these are not similar pentagons because they don't have an equal ratio for all sides. Similar shapes must have the same ratio on every one of their sides. If any side breaks the scale factor, you'll know that the shapes aren't similar.
Try playing around with this online diagram that depicts two similar figures. You can scale one of the shapes so that it's enlarged or reduced while still staying similar to the original shape.
To move forward, you'll learn all about congruent triangles and proving their congruence via SSS, SAS, HL, ASA, and AAS.
Similar polygons
- 1.Is each pair of the polygons similar?a)
- 2.Rectangle A and rectangle B are similar rectangles. Rectangle A is an enlargement of rectangle B with a scale factor of 3.2. Rectangle A has side lengths of 33.6 m and 7 m. One of the sides of rectangle B is 10.5 m. Calculate the missing side length of rectangle B.
- 3.Find the perimeter of the smaller quadrilateral.

Increased hours at the Pinecrest Community Center, security cameras at parks, new bike and pedestrian paths along U.S. 1, and beautification projects along the U.S. 1 and Kendall Drive medians are among the projects included in a 2014-15 budget that Village Manager Yocelyn Galiano Gomez has proposed to the Pinecrest Village Council.
Spending is expected to increase slightly, with a proposed operating budget totaling $20.76 million, up about 2 percent from the $20.32 million expected spent this year.
Operating budget revenues are expected to total $20.37 million. Taxes in general will contribute the largest chunk of that with $11.5 million, including $8.27 million from property tax. Licenses and permits are expected to contribute $3.1 million.
"We're on track with what we had projected would be happening when we did our five-year and 10-year projections," Galiano said. "There haven't been any surprises, or anything that impacted significantly the projections. We're in good shape."
A few big-ticket items for the village, like storm-water and transportation costs, don't come out of the operating budget, but out of special funds designated for those purposes.
The storm-water fund, for example, is supported by a $4 a month utility fee per household, and the budget recommends raising that to $5 a month to meet mounting infrastructure planning and building costs. From its transportation fund, the village anticipates spending $1 million in paving costs.
The budget also would fund increased hours at the community center, security cameras at municipal parks, artificial turf at Flagler Grove park, new bike and pedestrian paths along U.S. 1, resurfaced streets throughout the village, beautification projects along the U.S. 1 and Kendall Drive medians, more community events, and new safe routes to school.
New costs include $406,680 for a 2.5 percent salary bump for village employees — except for the village manager and clerk, whose salaries are set by council during the budget process — as well as $156,170 to replace a broken air conditioning unit and a new phone system for the municipal center and police station. The police department is getting an additional $67,229 to replace five vehicles, buy new equipment, and pay for park security cameras, and the planning department is replacing hardware to the tune of $47,110.
The red-light camera program is expected to generate $1.25 million in new revenue for the village.
The village is also proposing to hire a victim services coordinator in the police department, a full-time park service aide, and to re-classify a park manager to park superintendent.
As for extending county water lines to the roughly 1,000 Pinecrest households still using well water — the village is setting aside $75,000 for the third year in a row, though Galiano said that this is just a "token" amount.
That project is expected to cost approximately $12 million, she said, and the village isn't expecting residents to shoulder the bulk of that burden. Looking for funding elsewhere is the main reason the village hired regular lobbyists, Galiano said.
The village also began levying an impact fee in 2013 on new residential constructions to put toward the water line project, but the fee has also raised a nominal amount — $18,768 that year and $15,609 so far this year.
Last month, Galiano received council approval to advertise a tax rate of $2.40 per $1,000 in taxable property value, up 20 cents from last year. Galiano said before the vote that the final tax rate should be lowered back down to $2.20 in September if the council ultimately approved the budget as it stands now — without going ahead in the short term with four large capital improvement projects at the Coral Pine and Wayside parks, municipal center and community center.
Galiano will host a town hall on the budget at 6 p.m. on Aug. 12, and the council has rescheduled its budget workshop to 9 a.m. Aug. 18. Both will be held in the council chambers at the municipal center, 12645 Pinecrest Pkwy.
As mandated by law, the village has also set two public hearings, one on Sept. 9, and the other on Sept. 23, to discuss the budget. The hearings are both at 7 p.m., also at the municipal center.
The budget is available for review at http://www.pinecrest-fl.gov/index.aspx?page=98.

Performance Anxiety
The NDX recorded the third consecutive +1% or more close yesterday. This is an unusual pattern and worthy of a few observations. The most recent occurrence was April 5, 2004. As the chart below illustrates, the index made an important high that day. I'm not implying the same thing will happen here but a 1-2 day pause appears likely. Mostly, I think the pattern highlights the amount of performance anxiety in the markets. Higher prices are increasing the fear of missing. I say this because Hoofy never accomplished this feat (three +1% or more consecutive closes) during the entire rally from March 2003 to January 2004. Remember, the NDX gained roughly 65% during that period.
Since March 2000, we've seen this pattern 19 times. The next day closed lower 13 of 19 and the index scored another 1% up day just 4 times. If that were to occur, it's worth noting (in those 4 cases) the fifth day's action was consistent. In each observation, the NDX gapped lower the following day and never saw positive prices. Remember past performance does not indicate future results.
