Intellectual property ("IP") assets can be defined as "Things of value that are not tangible but can be measured and managed and to which a value may be attached". On the other hand, IP audit can be defined as a systematic review of collated IP: owned, acquired, utilised or needed by a business in order to identify – under-utilized IP assets; any unrealised threats to an organization; and to enable businesses to form wholesome strategies that will manage and enhance the organizations' market position.
Intellectual property forms a substantial part of a company's net resources. IP exists and is owned by companies in various forms. Not all its forms are germane to every company. But, indisputably, intellectual property in some form is certainly important to virtually every company. An organization needs to efficiently manage its IP's by:
- maintaining up-to-date collated IP records
- protecting IP by taking deterring steps against infringers in several jurisdictions
- prosecution
- maintenance
All of this requires sizeable time, money and manpower. Furthermore, management and preservation of intellectual property assets may seem like a demanding task for both:
- companies that have been at it before
- companies whose IP is in major disarray.
Irrespective, efficient management of intellectual property is fundamental and often crucial for wide array of businesses to succeed. An IP audit is the most effective, and at times, the only first step toward achieving said goal.
A well-maintained and up-to-date inventory of all IP assets aids businesses in making multifarious informed decision for its future ventures and vision. Thus, once all the IP assets are inventoried and all existing IP procedures are documented, the future vision for development and venturing can be made parallel with respect to a company's business policies. This helps them to formulate long term, business oriented strategies. Sorting out the nitty-gritties of IP assets is also a pre-requisite to get finance. Adequate IP audits facilitate towards formulating a proposal for obtaining desired finances, improving loan rates and escalating share prices.
1. General Purpose IP Audit
General or broad IP audit is undertaken in order to manage and control the IP assets of a business. This type of IP audit helps in maintaining the overall health of the IP of any business by reviewing and assessing for any statutory requirements for maintaining patent/trademark applications.
A general or broad IP audit is done in the following situations:
Before establishing a new company it is always important for a start ‐up Company to be aware of intangible assets it owns and/or needs to protect. When a business is considering implementations of new policies, standards, or procedures relating to IP.
When a business is considering implementations of new policies, standards, or procedures relating to IP.
When a business is considering implementing a new marketing approach or direction, or is planning a major reorganization of the company.
When a new person becomes responsible for IP management.
Once a comprehensive IP audit has been undertaken, a smaller effort and expense is desired at regular intervals, such as on an annual basis, so that IP assets are reviewed and appropriate decisions taken, depending on the current and emerging needs of a company.
2. Event Driven IP Audit
Event driven IP Audit is generally much narrower in scope than a broad or general purpose IP audit. Further, the nature and purpose of such an audit is reflective of the event in question, and the time and resources available for the same. It is often referred to as "IP Due Diligence", when it is done to assess, as objectively as possible, the value and risk of all or a part of a target company's IP assets. It is undertaken by a third party before an IP portfolio is bought or invested in and it provides information that affect the course of the proposed transaction.
Few events that require Event Driven IP Audit/IP due diligence are:
Merger & Acquisition or Joint Venture
Financial transactions
IP licensing
Launching a new product or service
Buying or selling a business division or IP transfer
3. Limited Purpose Focused Audit
A limited purpose audit is typically much narrower in scope than the aforementioned two and is performed under highly constrained time schedules. These audits tend to be situational in nature. They are typically used to justify a certain legal position or the valuation of a particular IP. It is majorly done in the following cases:
Foreign IP Filings:
Before a company takes up an aggressive program of filing IP applications in other countries, that is, before entering a new market abroad (by way of, say, exporting, or expanding overseas through off‐shoring/outsourcing some of its activities, or by licensing, franchising or merchandising) an IP audit helps to sensitize the company to market‐specific IP laws, rules, customs and practices affecting IP rights.
Significant changes in IP law and practice:
Where there is a significant change or development in IP case law or statutory law in a relevant market it may necessitate review of existing products for possible infringement of the IP rights of others.
Personnel turnover:
Before a major personnel turnover of in‐house research and development or marketing, especially if it involves disgruntled employees, an IP audit should be done to secure the status of a company's IP assets.
Clean room procedures:
The clean room procedure seeks to avoid infringement by ensuring that there is no "access" to copyrighted material of unrelated parties during software development project. Thus, an audit might be necessary to institute, or to review the adequacy of, clean room procedures used in the development of software products so as to reduce the risk of infringing third party copyright.
Preparing for litigation:
When considering or facing litigation, a company is required to show non‐infringement and no access to the work, complete or confirm the chain of title of the underlying IP rights or otherwise complete the documentation of the relevant IP rights.
Reasons for Undertaking IP Audits
Identify the IP owned by a particular company – every successful business requires well managed resources and that includes the intangible IP resources held by a company. For businesses to be able to efficiently manage, protect and utilise their IP, they need to be aware of the IP assets they own. Being aware of the nature of the IP owned by a company can ensure that proactive steps are taken towards protection, development, licensing, exploitation etc. of the valuable IP. An audit may also bring to light any defects in title and can help outline the steps to correct them. Any existing IP-related agreements including: licensing agreements; assignments; employment and independent contractor agreements; joint venture agreements; tech transfer agreements; and settlement agreements, can be reviewed to help ensure that IP rights have not been hindered or compromised.
- Preserve and increase the value of existing IP – IP of a company is protected by a matrix of laws. This said, a company can still make mistakes that may diminish or destroy the protections provided by law. Additionally, formal patent applications have to be filed to protect inventions and product designs, and patent rights are irretrievably lost if a company lapses proactiveness regarding the same. An audit narrows down such requirements and other kinds of steps that can be taken to prevent IP loss and enhance the value of a company's existing IP.
- Prevent avoidable hurdles such as costly legal disputes – IP litigationsare complex and expensive. An IP audit can make companies aware of any possible disputes that may arise and thereby, help to plan successful avoidance and resolution strategies. An audit can further help recognize weaknesses in the audited company's IP rights that can be addressed with timely corrective actions, resulting in stronger rights that are less likely to be challenged when those rights are asserted.Facilitate and optimize business transactions – An IP audit gives a company the most up-to-date understanding of its IP assets and their estimated value. It places the company in a pre-emptively prepared position to deal with opportunities that might arise, such as a third-party offer to buy the company or a new sales or expansion venture that may require financing.
- Can help identify new ventures to benefit from with company's existing IP – Audits can help identify new commercial opportunities that can be exploited in both domestic and international market via IP licensing.
Broadly, IP audit helps businesses do a SWOT analysis – a study that determines:
Strengths (Company's owned and licensed IP);
Weaknesses of the organization (inadequate preservation of company's IP as elaborated above);
Opportunities for the company in the marketplace (licensing opportunities) and;
Threats that are perceived from the market (from competition and from within the organization).
IP audit further helps to make and update the inventory of the IP assets, and to analyse:
How the IP assets are being used and/or are certain, unknowingly, being left unused?
Which IP assets are owned by the company and which ones are licensed?
That IP assets are not infringing the rights of others and are also rather not being infringed by others?
What actions are required to be taken immediately with respect to each IP asset, or a portfolio of such assets, to serve the relevant business goals of the company?
In this date and age of knowledge based economy, sizeable economic value is locked into intangible assets of companies, particularly their IP. A fundamental issue for a company's feat is to completely realise the IP owned by it and manage it in a fashion as to capitalize on its real value which usually is much more than a company might comprehend on its own. Precisely why, often companies underestimate the value of their IP and thereby fail to efficiently protect it. IP protection, through registrations, infringement prevention actions,etc., is not treated as a priority and the management of IP and related rights is regarded as a mere formality adding on to the company's costs, rather than something that contributes immensely towards strategic corporate growth. Suchmisinformed approach could have serious drawbacks, which could be detrimental to the company's future, including – missed opportunities, third party infringement, unavoidable and unforeseen expenses and efforts in developing new business models, fighting prized litigations, etc. At times, companies end up spending more finances in protecting their own IP rights which are being misappropriated by third parties due to company's personal folly in effectively protecting their IP in the first place. Hence, it becomes particularly important to have a thorough knowledge of one's own IP and the need to protect it in a timely and effective manner.
An IP audit collates all information on the nature and strength of IP as well as method to fully utilise these important resources. An IP audit is a relatively simple exercise, but it has a powerful role in avoiding various circumstances, such as violation of others' rights, protecting one's IP, reducing the risks of third party IP violation, clarifying IP ownership issues, etc. It also serves as a directional tool for maintenance, management and protection of IP rights throughout the life cycle of the intangible asset. As companies are made conscious, time and again, of the value of their IP and rights associated thereto, the importance of IP will naturally grow, and thus the need audits.

World news story
Welsh community in Uganda celebrate St David's Day
1 March is the national day of Wales. The First Minister of Wales recently visited Uganda.
St David's Day 2014 will be a special one for the Welsh community in Uganda, as they were visited from 6 to 12 January 2014 by the First Minister of Wales, the Rt Hon Carwyn Jones AM. The First Minister spent almost a week visiting projects made possible with support from the Welsh Government's Wales for Africa programme, which has supported 138 community links with almost 300 development projects in Sub-Saharan Africa
On the occasion of St David's Day 2014, the First Minister issued the following message, in which he highlighted his recent visit to Uganda:
"Dymuniadau gorau o Gymru i'n ffrindiau ar draws y Byd ar ddiwrnod ein nawdd sant Dewi. May I send my warmest wishes from Wales to our friends across the World on St David's Day.
"To celebrate our national day, children across Wales will be dressing up in traditional Welsh costumes and many schools will hold their own 'eisteddfod', a Welsh festival of music and poetry. Towns and cities across Wales will hold St David's Day parades and the many Welsh societies around the World will be celebrating in their own unique way.
"It is these sorts of traditions that the people of Wales embrace. But although we are a nation proudly steeped in history and tradition, we are also a nation which is continually changing to meet the challenges of a fast-changing world.
"Wales has long been a popular destination for holidaymakers, who flock here each year to play on our beautiful beaches, climb mountains, indulge in fantastic fresh food or explore our ancient castles, as well as countless other things there are to do here in Wales.
"But in recent years Wales has shown that it can compete with the best in the world when it comes to major international events. For two days in September, Wales will take centre stage when the NATO Summit - 'NATO Wales 2014' - is held at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, South Wales. NATO Wales 2014 will be the biggest international political event ever to take place on British soil. The Welsh landscape will provide a stunning backdrop to the event and the decision to hold the Summit here is testament to the facilities and infrastructure Wales can offer. I look forward to welcoming our international guests here to Wales.
"The NATO Summit will provide an opportunity to show that Wales is not only a great place to visit or to live, but also a great place to do business. A long list of multi-national companies continue to invest in large-scale operations here. And some of our home-grown companies are producing World-class products, from the finest culinary ingredients to cutting edge manufacturing technology. Through overseas trade missions and exhibitions, the Welsh Government is supporting Welsh businesses to really put Welsh-made goods and services in the shop window.
"And it's not all about business and commerce. In January I visited Uganda for five days to see for myself the work of the Wales for Africa programme. I saw how the programme helps farmers through Fair Trade initiatives, supports tree planting on a large scale and builds health and education links between Wales and Uganda. It was incredibly satisfying for me to witness how the hard work of many people from Wales is having a positive effect on people's lives thousands of miles away.
"Wales is a small nation with a rich cultural heritage, not least in the world of music. Last October we welcomed key figures from the music industry to Wales for the World Music Expo, WOMEX. WOMEX added to a blossoming music festival scene here in Wales with festivals such as Green Man set in the mountains of the Brecon Beacons and Festival No.6 in the Italianate village of Portmeirion. Both host some of the finest musical talent in the world, set against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty.
"Culturally, this is also a special year for Wales as we mark the centenary of the birth of one of the great poets and playwrights of the 20th Century, Dylan Thomas. Dylan Thomas's work, such as the classic Under Milk Wood, continues to influence poets, writers, musicians and artists right across the World. The events taking place this year as part of the Dylan Thomas 100 celebrations, from Australia to India, from Canada and the United States to Argentina, are a reflection of the global and enduring appeal of a true Welsh icon.
"And it's never been a better time to be a sports fan in Wales. This year we've seen two Welsh teams, Cardiff and Swansea, compete against each other for the first time in football's Premier League, while young players like Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsay have emerged to become global superstars. Last summer saw a British and Irish Lions rugby team dominated by Welsh players win a memorable series victory in Australia. And athletes like Non Stanford in the Triathlon and Becky James in Cycling have brought World titles home to Wales in two of the toughest sports around. I anticipate more sporting success as our athletes put on the red of Wales at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in July, where I'm sure they'll do us proud once again.
"Sporting achievement will be one of nine awards presented at the inaugural St David Awards on 13th March this year. The annual St David Awards will celebrate the achievements of exceptional people from all walks of Welsh life. All of the nominees share one thing in common - they are a true inspiration to others and have made a real difference to other people's lives. And look out for the St David International Award for an exceptional person or group who, through their work, personal prominence or influence, has promoted Wales on the world stage.
"And finally, even if you have not been to Wales this year, you may have seen Wales from the comfort of your own living room as some of the finest television is currently being made here in Wales. Programmes such as Sherlock are being watched by millions of dedicated fans across the globe. And not to forget the Time Lord himself, Dr Who, who celebrated his 50th year last year, and continues to take a small part of Wales to the rest of the world, and beyond….
"I wish you all a happy St David's Day! Dydd Gŵyl Dewi hapus i chi gyd!"

Mental health 'recovery college' opens in downtown Calgary
On Tuesday, the Calgary chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) launched Alberta's first "recovery college."
It's located at the association's brand new centre at the corner of 10th Street and Seventh Avenue S.W., right on the CTrain line.
The recovery centre and recovery college offer more than 40 wellness courses developed and taught by 16 support staff who have lived through their own mental health or addiction challenges. Support staff also receive 120 hours of training, 70 hours of in-class work and a 50-hour internship, both in the organization and within the community.
The recovery centre is the first of its kind in Alberta. There are three others across Canada, with plans to open additional centres in Edmonton and Fort McMurray.
All of it is provided free of charge to the public, said CMHA executive director of the Calgary region Laureen MacNeil.
One of the first challenges to providing mental health services is to create ways for people to easily access them, MacNeil said, which played a role in the decision to locate the recovery centre in a storefront location near the CTrain.
"We know many people find it challenging to start that first conversation," MacNeil said in an interview on The Homestretch.

Oh My WORD! This beautiful blood orange margarita recipe is so delicious! The luscious vibrant taste of the fresh blood orange juice melds perfectly with the premium tequila and Cointreau.
Why does this margarita stand out?
There is something about using premium ingredients in a margarita. Some people say you can't tell, but I'm here to tell you that you can. My sister was over one night and I made her my signature Cadillac margarita. I had run out of my usual Patron silver tequila, so I used another brand.
My sister said, "This tastes funny."
See? She could tell and you could too.
Is there another reason?
The fresh blood orange juice is not only absolutely delicious and vibrant, but the juice is naturally beautiful and which translates to a gorgeous cocktail.
Tips on making the Blood Orange Margarita:
- Buy 5 or more blood oranges, it's surprising how little juice you get out of them
- When juicing the blood oranges, wear an apron as this juice will stain light colored clothing
- As stated above, use premium ingredients
- Wet the rim of the glasses with a little simple syrup
- Use kosher salt to rim the glasses
- Use glasses that please you. I used my thick double old fashioned glasses
- The blood orange juice is sweet, but if you like a sweet margarita, you could add 1/2 ounce of simple syrup. But make it without first and sip it, and if you want it sweeter, add it!
How to mix the Blood Orange Margarita:
Fill your cocktail shaker halfway with ice and gather your glasses. After measuring out the ingredients, pour into the cocktail shaker.
Process shots for the BOM:
- Tequila, Cointreau, and the juice of some blood oranges
- 4 ounces of tequila
- 2 ounces Cointreau
- 7 ounces fresh blood orange juice
- Cocktail shaker with all the ingredients in it
Now it is time to deal with the glasses.
I get a little plate and put some kosher salt on it. I wet the rim of the glass with a little simple syrup.
I then place the glass on the plate, making sure the salt sticks to the rim. I shake it upside down so any excess is removed and turn it right side up. (This is an old photo.)
I cap the shaker, shake it for 30 seconds and pour the contents between the two glasses. I'm careful not to pour the liquid over the salted rims as I don't want the blood orange margarita to get salty.
I ease a few slices of blood orange into the glasses.
Here's another shot, taken from a different angle.
Other popular margaritas on Dishes Delish:
I hope you enjoyed this blood orange margarita recipe. It truly is a fruity and delicious cocktail. I hope you try it!
Leave me a comment. What is your favorite margarita?
And as always, may all your dishes be delish!
If you've tried this blood orange margarita or any other recipe on the blog, I'd love the hear what you thought about it in the comments below. I love hearing from you! You can also FOLLOW ME on FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM and PINTEREST to see more of my delicious food and delightful cocktails!
- 4 ounces tequila I used Patron Silver
- 2 ounces Cointreau or triple sec
- 7 ounces of freshly squeezed blood orange juice
- double old fashioned glass or
- margarita glasses
- 2 slices blood orange
- cocktail shaker
Fill a cocktail shaker 3/4 way with ice
Add tequila, Cointreau and blood orange juice.
- Cap shaker
- Place kosher salt on a plate
- Wet rim of high ball glass or margarita glass
- Place on salted plate
- Shake off excess salt and place glass right side up
Shake the shaker for 15 seconds, vigorously
Pour contents in glasses, being careful to not pour it on salt
Ease an orange slice into each blood orange margarita. Let it peek out
- Admire the colors
- Sip
- Smile
- Enjoy
Try it first without the simple syrup to see if it is sweet enough. If you like a sweeter cocktail, add the .25 ounce of simple syrup to each cocktail.
This is a redo of my original post that was published February of 2016.

Accept the shadow When you learn to embrace and accept the shadow, yet not be controlled by it, you are ready to become a light "Embrace the Shadow to heal"
One of my favorite poems is Invictus, by William Ernest Henley. My grandmother would read this to me when I was small until I learned how to read for myself.
I love the words, the images that swirl in my head when I focus on them.
Later as I would read it out loud I would connect to all types of emotions. I was longing to connect to source and my soul. This spoke to me and still does.
It's a good time to review your goals for 2019 and see if some changes are due to your foundation. Whether your foundational changes are spiritual in nature or more concrete like my house, it is always healing to release the past and know you are safe and whole in the light and love of Source.

Green Lantern #34
Geoff John and Ivan Reis continue to delight me with their latest issue of the origin of Hal Jordan. And it just keeps getting better and better.
We begin with Atrocitus trying to use William Hand as a weapon, while Sinestro and Hal are doing their unpowered best to stop him. With his usual youth and arrogance on display, Hal refuses to back down, and to his disgust, Sinestro has to keep bailing him out. I have to admit that Sinestro is displaying a lot more common sense than Hal is, even using a handy dandy pocket dimension to keep his lantern in, so that they can recharge. Hal keeps HIS lantern in his locker. You just know that Sinestro is rolling his eyes.
There follows a very satisfying fight in the cemetary in the rain. Atrocitus brushes off Hal fairly easily, and he and Sinestro go toe to toe. Atrocitus is smart enough to know his enemy and his weakness, so he clobbers Sinestro with a big yellow back-hoe. He's about to administer the coup de grace, when Hal screams and hits Atrocitus with a giant green fighter plane construct. Atrocitus is just astounded, that this stupid rookie is able to somehow overcome the yellow weakness. Sinestro hasn't seen what actually happened, since he was face down in the mud, but he manages to rally and puts down Atrocitus once and for all. It is interesting that Sinestro used ring constructs that looked like Abin Sur and Kilowog.
Hand in the meantime, after a lot of cowering, has discovered the little gold thingie that Atrocitus was going to use, and slips it into his jacket. He runs off, as Hal tries to see if he is all right. Hal is all pumped up and pleased with himself for beating the yellow weakness. Sinestro didn't see it, and quite franky doesn't believe it, so once again they start bickering like a pair of two-year olds. Well...actually Hal is the one acting most childish, and Sinestro has had it up to HERE with the attitude.
So...Hal stomps off and decides that he's got to confront his problems head on, and tells the ring to take him to Carl Ferris...the man that he's blamed for his father's death for years. Hal is rather astonished to be taken to the Ferris house outside of Coast City instead of to Florida where Ferris is supposed to be golfing. He's even more astonished when he storms in and finds that Carl Ferris is actually a very sick and bedridden man. Carol has been covering up for him, and trying to keep the company going for him. Carol and Hal actually have a moment of understanding, which is rather poignant. I like Carol in this light, and I like that Hal actually forgets to be all manly and opens up for a change. Hal is finally able to let his father go, and as a deep moment of introspection.
Sinestro shows up and gives him a nice little pep talk, and even shows a bit of empathy for him. In a lovely moment, he passes on some advice that he had received from Abin Sur...that overcoming fear is what they do best, but that dealing with sorrow and loss...that's tough even for Green Lanterns.
Awwwwww....! It's the origin of the speech that Hal gives to Kyle much much later. I can't believe how interesting Sinestro is in this stage of his life. He's arrogant and smug and full of himself, but then so is Hal. He's also very very very good at what he does. And in their questioning of the Guardian's motives, he and Hal have a lot in common. I can understand why they became friends. It is all the more tragic when you consider what eventually happened to him.
Anyway, their little bonding moment is disturbed by a message from Oa. Apparently fraternizing is against the rules, and they are called back for some disciplinary action. Man, those Guardians are so strict!
Who would have thought that Hal's origin could have been so well-fleshed out? All kinds of things make sense now. Although I have to admit that I'm not entirely convinced that Hal really figured out a way to beat the yellow weakness. I prefer to have him getting blinded by mustard and locked in yellow safes over the years.

I know it's been a while since I've blogged, but I am kind of in a funk. I don't know what to say! Well, let me take that back. I ALWAYS have something to say…it just doesn't necessarily follow a normal or sensible line of thought!
Cooper only has 2 more days of school, so we are playing a lot. Even if we are soaked to the bone. (Will the rain EVER end?) I'll be back this week with some worthwhile thoughts. In the mean time, the countdown for the Nevil family is ON! YAY!!!!

Painted Lady Butterfly
YesterdayI mentioned that I visited Ditching Beacon, a stunning landmark North of Brighton. I love visiting the countryside as you never know what you might get the opportunity to photograph. While I was out enjoying the meadows, a lovely butterfly settled right by my feet. I expected it to fly away as soon as I tried to take a photograph, but it didn't move!
As it stayed still so long I was able to get my macro lens onto the camera and get up nice and close.
It was a Painted Lady (Vanessa Cardui) butterfly, which can be seen throughout the UK. The numbers vary from year to year, but it is a fairly common butterfly.
For more images of butterflies click here.
I am a fine art photographer based in the South of England. I enjoy sharing my photographic adventures, hints and tips.

Flooring... Ceramic Tile Vs. Luxury Vinyl Tile
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tile on average will run ($3-$7 per sq. ft.) for tile and materials depending on style, selection, and market. Install for ceramic tile will typically run ($3-$8 per sq. ft.) Putting your range at ($6-$15 per sq. ft.) This is without considering any kind of under-laminate product.
Ceramic tile is highly durable and water resistant. It's strength is also it's downfall though. Ceramic tile has no give and has a higher tendency of cracking than it's LVT competitor.
Overall the look of ceramic tile for flooring tends to give home owners a more luxuries look. Ceramic tile if well maintained can last for ever and this type of tile tends to help with home resale values.
Luxury Vinyl Tile
LVT on average will run ($2-$5 per sq. ft.) for materials depending on style, selection, and market. Installation for LVT will typically run ($2-$4 per sq. ft.) Putting your range at ($4-$9 per sq. ft.) In many cases an under-laminate product isn't needed.
LVT is highly durable and water resistant. LVT has the ability to stretch and flex. Giving it the ability to flex with shifting floors and take on drops better than it's ceramic competitor.
Overall the LVT is a great product for flooring, however it will not present a higher home resale value than it's ceramic competitor. Maintenance of an LVT floor is extremely simple.
General Contractors Opinion:
Luxury vinyl tile or planks have improved in durability and quality over the past decade. They are a quick and easy to install product to improve the look and feel of any room in your home. At Tyler Home LLC, we tend to recommend LVT products in basements and bathrooms often. They look good and are a great way to update your home without the major expense of ceramic tile.
Let's Give Options:
When going to look at a new bathroom, kitchen, or any other room remodel many potential customers like options. They may like this look or that one, but they are unsure of what they actually want. So, can you just bid LVT and ceramic tile? Well, yes we can. Build Hero will make seeing the pricing changes simple, fast, and easy for everyone!

Never forget the name!
*Hugh Millar knocks on Judge's dressing room door and we hear a lot of wearing and ruckus coming from behind it. Millar knocks again and then pushes the door open and we see Judge completely trashing his dressing room.*
Millar: Um...Uh...Judge I....its...um...I just wanted to know...
Judge: LET ME FUCKING GUESS YOU NO GOOD SHITBAG YOU JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU COULD GET MY THOUGHTS ON WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO BE ALL OVER DC ONLY TO BE PUT AWAY IN A MOMENT BY THE HELL FROM ABOVE? OR DID YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO MISS OUT ON WINNING A PLACE IN THE MAIN EVENT AT CHAMPIONSHIP DREAMS? WELL I'LL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT FELT LIKE YOU STUPID FUCKING SON OF A BITCH. GIMME THAT FUCKING MICROPHONE AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE! *Judge grabs the mike and tries to compose himself but whilst talking periodically smashes his fist into the wall and chucks objects around the room whilst pacing furiously*
Losing at End of the Road and getting beaten after dominating Force for most of the match felt shit. What did you expect? Now I know alot of you mindless fans probably had a good old jerk off as Force did his victory lap and you all I hope I just dissapear off your TV screens for a while. But let me tell you something...its not over till I say its over. Force, I may have lost the battle....But I haven't lost the war.
It wasn't the End of the Road for me. Just a small hitch in it and don't think that you've avoided your end of the road. You've simply delayed it you smug motherfucker. This week I take you on again. It may not be for gold, it may not be to end your career, ut its to regain my dignity and prove your dellusional mind, that probably is under the impression you've seen the last of me, that you haven't.
See whilst I can't take your place in the main event of championship dreams anymore. I can damn sure force myself to be inserted into the match anyway. To do that though I need to make a big impact. That impact happens this week in our rematch Force. Where you will discover what happens when you piss the Judge off. You've just awakened a whole new side of me and I guarantee you...it ain't pretty. This week Redemption will be mine no matter the cost, you have beaten me before, but now I know how you work and I'll be ready for you.
See before End of the Road I talked a good game but deep down inside I'll admit I had doubt. Doubt that I could dethrone the monster of the IWO. Doubt that despite my skill I could pull out a win over the Force. But after how I did against you I know I can. See now you have one less advantage over me Force. The advantage of fear. I'm not afraid of you anymore Force and I'm more than ready to deliver your final sentence this week at Redemption.
So ask yourself, once more, what you gonna do...what you gonna do...*Judge smashes his fist through the wall and puts his boot through the TV in his room*...when a pissed off Judge...comes...FOR YOU!
*Millar comes to get his mike off Judge and timidly takes it and then Judge lets out a massive war cry that startles Millar of his feet as the camera fades out*
Props to Sly as Hell for the banner.

This Fire Burns plays through the arena and the crowd goes wild as Jason makes his way to the ring with Stacy by his side,you see his knee taped up as he gets in the ring and grabs a mic*
Jason - Last night I was in the toughest battle of my wrestling career as I went one on one with DC for the World Title,I went in that match with the crowd against me and put up one hell of a fight with DC but it just wasn't enough to keep him down as he came out victorious and walked out of his hometown still the champion.
*Crowd boos*
Jason - It's okay though because I know I'll have my chance to shine again and show everyone why Jason is here to stay!
*Crowd cheers as Stacy smiles and claps in approval*
Jason - Now tonight I team up with the up and coming Jack Crawford,I'm very impressed with what I've seen from him so it's good to see that he's on my side tonight against Masque and Joker
*Crowd boos at the sounds of those names*
Jason - Some washed up goth and a clown...I think it's safe to assume that Jack and I are gonna have an easy night tonight with these two losers,and of course they got Alli Sabbah in their corner who I'm more than familiar with and if he thinks he should get involved in the match then I'll be more than happy to kick his ass
*Crowd cheers*
Jason - I got one more thing to mention....Marv Rome!
*He points at Marv who's sitting at the commentator's table at ringside,he yells something to Jason*
Jason - Yeah you...Stacy has something for you
*Stacy gets out of the ring as Marv has a smile on face,the smile dissapears as Stacy slaps it right off his face*
Jason - Next time think before you say something stupid
*Jason's music hits as he and Stacy leave with the crowd cheering as the camera fades to black*

Chad Willard: I am standing here with Jack "The Beast" Crawford. Jack, you had an impressive victory over Oko at End of the Road.
Jack Crawford: That's right Chad. You see just like I said, I was a man on a mission. I needed to get that nasty taste out of my mouth after that minor setback I suffered two weeks ago.
Chad Willard: Well in your defense, that was a tag team match you lost in.
Jack Crawford: That's right, Chad "The Beast" works much better alone.
Chad Willard: So this week you will be teaming up with Jason, and you will be facing Masque, and Joker. How will this tag team match be different than the one two weeks ago?
*Pop for Jason, Heat for Masque and Joker*
Jack Crawford: Well you see, Chad this week's tag team match will be different for two reasons. Firstly, two weeks ago was an eight man tag team match, and there was just way too much action to keep up with. Secondly, I will be teaming up with Jason. Jason is a former world heavyweight champion, and him and I can work well together.
Chad Willard: What do you think Championship Dreams holds for "The Beast"?
*The Beast chants start up*
Jack Crawford: Well one thing is for sure. No shot at the Heavyweight Championship for me which I am sure Gene Smith will regret when he is upset with the PPV's buyrates.
Chad Willard: Thank you for your time, and good luck in your match tonight.
Jack Crawford: Thanks, but The Beast doesn't need luck.

*Schmo and Public are talking backstage*
Schmo: we really shocked them last week
Public: yes sir, that was great
Schmo: now this week we have the chance to stop that undefeated streak of that Hippie, Cryptic.
Public: I told you plan B is fail proof, we are finally on the right track, and this week I will be in your corner to make sure that nothing out of the ordinary occurs.
Schmo: this is the next step to the top for us John, that grass smoking fool has no idea that he is about to become strictly business.
Public: No idea at all
*both men laugh and walk off*
*Joker is seen painting on a wall...the camera focuses to see the word PAIN written on it*
Joker: I told everyone that evil was coming, and I was right...With the dark forces of Alli Sabbah's cult, the IWO has been sitting in terror...everyone has been hiding in a corner, waiting for the evil presence to blow over....but that won't happen...Pain is in store for two men this week...Two men that have no idea what the dark side of evil looks like...Along with Masque we plan on taming the beast and lighting Jason's world on fire...and for that little beauty that will be at ringside, well until you taste the darkness, you have no idea what a real man is...
*Joker laughs for a minute*
Joker: The cult will rise above all and be victorious and then evil will truly reign supreme...Jason and Jack tonight you both recieve the ultimate mindfuck!
*Joker laughs hysterically as he begins to paint away furiously at the wall*

*DC sits in a chair with the world title around his shoulder*
DC: This past week in Atlanta, i did what I said I would do, and that was to walk out with the world title...I give you credit Jason you brought your A game to the match, unfortunately your A game is still in the minor leagues..
*DC laughs for a second*
DC: But enough about my victory, this week I go into a match where I can walk out with more gold. This week I use my rematch clause to pick the bones of Demon Alexander...Every since he returned he has been a force to reckon with...However, this week Demon you will see that I am always the oppurtunist and I will beat you and finally return the hardcore title to glory...I know that the crowd will be against me, but it doesn't matter, because I will win the Hardcore title and then I will head to Championship Dreams with two belts on my shoulders...
*DC pauses for a minute*
DC: And Force don't worry I haven't forgotten about you, me and you still have some unfinished business...But I want you to watch, and get a look at what it will be like to pay the price inside the Dogpound!
*DC gets up and walks off*

Never Better
*'The Epitome' Troy Alston is shown sitting on a secluded island with a group of women fanning and feeding him while he relaxes by the beach. The camera peers into the handsome, yet cocky young man until he notices it and signals the women to back off for a second.*
Troy: While everyone in the IWO has been busting their ass, loosing teeth and breaking bones, yours truly has been off in paradise getting the treatment that I deserve. My fans say- 'What about the IWO? Aren't you one of the top superstars there?' The answer should be obvious. Hell, there shouldn't have been a question to begin with. Everyone knows I am the hottest talent in the business today. I have the talent, charisma and potential that people die for. Look at my track record. No need to explain- mainly because I cannot remember my endless accomplishments.
It's funny. Those shitstains think they can run the show without me. As if...they don't need me. I have not heard anything so preposterous in my amazing life. Let me school you all on something. Troy Alston is not a talent to waste. Troy has never been the last kid picked for kickball.
The few times I watch Redemption, due to my absence, I see those same kids who were picked last or not even at all. Those that had to resort to...tetherball and hopscotch..
I was the former and arguably, the most prestigious IWO Champion this business has ever seen people. And in a sudden flash, it was gone. Everything I had done...seemed to be gone. What some of you dipshits fail to realize...I won the IWO Title at an age where many of you graduate college. I defeated men twice my age, size and waist-size. It is not an easy thing to do- to hold off guys who are just simply jealous of you. They'll do anything to bring you down to their pathetic, worthless level. It's often a gamble where they risk their health...even their dignity. It's like going all-in on a 7-2 against pocket Aces. And guess he holds the good cards..
But why try convincing you guys when I can make a more...immediate impact. Much like the impact I left when I got into this fed. Except...I even admit, that cannot be topped. There's not better way of proving the world than once again, taking the IWO by storm and re-establishing my legacy. You won't be able to guess who, or when my reign will begin...but this upcoming Redemption, everyone is prone. Everyone has a target. Everyone..will see. Then maybe...or more like definitely, I won't have to resort to this incredible beach ,and the IWO will be my paradise once again...
*The camera fades off into the sunset as Troy receives more of his "deserved" treatment from the ladies..*

Give it To Me..
To lose your reality is to lose everything that makes a person who they are. Reality keeps a person grounded...Reality keeps a person on a path of which they will either succeed or fail. Reality hits you in the face..Reality..sucks...Except for today. Because my reality is..I'm still the number one contender for the IWO title. My reality tells me that I will meet DC for the World Title at Championship Dreams..My reality tells me that I proved I am still the most dominant force that this company has to offer. Those are true realities...Thats what really happened no longer than a week ago...But some people can't handle reality...Some people don't want to accept what is the obvious and expected outcome. Some people can't see reality when it hits them smack dab in the face...Apparently Judge is one of these people.
Judge..It must be hard to fail. I would never know what failing is like..See..I have never failed at anything..While you..Well..Of course you have. It couldn't have been any plainer than End of the Road. My Legdrop..Hell From Above..Followed up with the 1..2...3. I assumed my dominance over you Judge right when the 3 was counted...But yet you come out here and continue to spew this bullcrap about making an impact...But theres no impact to make Judge...And I don't understand why you are just not able to see that. The time for making an impact was last week..And you missed your shot. Accept it..Move on. Face the reality like a man. I could quite frankly care less about the flood of excuses coming from your oversized mouth..And I think a lot of people could care less right alongside me.
Judge..There is no reason to build your hopes up here. I told you and everyone else all along that it would be myself up against DC at Championship Dreams. It had to be that way..I wouldn't have it any other way...And you somehow tried to stop my destiny..Tried to get in the way of it..And I knocked you out of title contention for it. See..You make look at this as a second chance..A true chance at.."Redemption"..But I don't look at it that way. Your chances have been exhausted. I beat you on the biggest stage..When the biggest prize was on the line..And that is all that matters. You will make no impact Judge. I'm going to finish off what I started at Redemption. You say you fear me no more..Thats the wrong way to look at it. You should definitely fear me more. I am your master Judge..I'm your Judge..I'm your jury. The fact remains that you have never ever pinned my shoulders to the mat for three seconds in your life..And I have done it to you multiple times...With or without a title shot on the line.
You know whats funny to me?..How cool you try to act about the whole thing..You throw cliche after cliche out there..Trying to convince me and the people that you're so much better off after I whipped your ass up and down End of the Road. Stuff like..I know how you work now..I'm not scared now. You sound like a 10 year old trying to convince yourself that there are no monsters under your bed at night. But this time is different..Because you are facing a monster. I am that monster under your bed..Haunting you..Always in your psyche. I'm actually quite flattered that you think about me so much Judge..There are females around this place ya know.....Anyway..Just take this into consideration. If I could beat you with all the pressure on me..Imagine what I will do with all the pressure off my shoulders. I have my title shot locked up Judge..I'm where I want to be..I feel no pressure. The pressure is all on you to show that you actually mean something in this business..That you can actually beat the best. And you will crack under that pressure..I will make sure of it. I will once again dominate you..And my momentum will continue to Soar into Championship dreams. This is the final showdown for me and you Judge..Because I will make sure you never have the fortitude to challenge me again after this. Judge..Pain is Mandatory..For you. And DC..Watch this match..It will be just a little sampling of what I have on tap for you.

*A Video starts playing on the screen. It's of a man in a dark alley. It focuses on him holding a marker, then drawing X's on both hands. The lights go black in the arena. Who The Fuck Killed John Lennon by Eighteen Visions hits the PA. As the lights go on, Ricky Thunder is standing on the turnbuckle making an X with his arms with mic in hand.*
-IWO, RICKY THUNDER IS HERE. Now can you feel it? Can you feel the rush? I've been feeling it since the moment I came here. When I walked through the doors, when I first came. I just stood there, and I took it all in. This was the moment I was waiting for. The hours of training when all my friends would go to shows, or go off to party. It's all worth it. Every drop of sweat, every time my blood was spilled, every time I got dropped on that canvas, only to get back up I wouldn't trade at all. Why? Because it has brought me here today, in front of you people, standing in an IWO ring, and to have my first match against, Vanilla Gorilla. Now Vanilla you seem to have a path of destruction, you seem to strike fear in the hearts of your opponents. But you won't do that to me. I won't back down from you. There is no way in hell that I am going to be afraid of a hairy ass fool like you. Nothing will stand in my way, not even your piece of shit manager Jeremiah Peabody. Peabody, I'm talking to you, you're just a low life pill pushing son of a bitch. As some of you may not know, I am straight edge, I live drug-free. No, I don't hate on people who do drugs. But the people I think are the worst are the ones who push it on others. I've seen the way you work Peabody, and it makes me sick. Just trying to use everyone else, pushing these alleged miracle pills. Well, tonight it's time to come clean. Peabody, tonight you and Gorilla with both break like glass, as I, Ricky Thunder make my debut in an IWO ring.
*Ricky Thunder goes to the turnbuckle and makes an X as Who The Fucked Killed John Lennon plays and the screen fades out.*

*The Josh and Crusher are shown in the locker room preparing for the match and talking*
Josh: Thanks last week for helping me win against Primate last week. I know it wasn't hard for you to help, but thanks none the less.
Crusher: Don't thank me. Primate had attacked me and I had to pay back the favor. Now this week, you and me have to face off against Primate and Oko in a tag team match.
Josh: Yeah, I know. You and me both have issues with both of them, but we need to stay focused, especially since these two love doing stuff behind the ref's back. If you can't keep an eye on both guys, we will lose the match and have to go back to the drawing board.
Crusher: Don't worry, I know what I have to do. Thing is, do you? I know you and April are together but don't let it fuck with your head.
Josh: April is always in my thoughts, but when I am in a match, I'm focused. Business before pleasure, you know?
Crusher: Yeah I do. Now shall we kick their asses and call it a night?
Josh: Oh yeah, cause for tonight we are the Josh and Crusher, the Kings of Battle at all times!
Crusher: You're Damn Right!

*Demon Alexander is meditating in a dark room with lit candles surrounding him*
Tragedy is a part of life, but it is not the tragedy itself that makes it sad...it is the reaction of giving up by the viewer that really is the sad thing about all this.
The Tragedy here in the IWO is that DC is the champion and he thinks that he can gain more gold by defeating me. DC, ever since I won this title, wrestler after damn wrestler stepped up and said they will take the hardcore title away from me...well guess what...I'm still the hardcore champion.
The tragedy here is that your title is not on the line this week. You're afraid DC...you know I can take the title away from you. It is me who can put glory to the IWO title. I have showed what the hardcore title is all about and I would show what you can't...what an IWO champion is all about.
There is a fine line between good and evil and the human mind balances on that string. You go through life trying to build that thin line, but when you just run and hide...hide behind your pride...hide behind drugs...hide behind illusions that you think you are more than you really are that the string will just snap, but DC does not have to worry about that because this week I will put him out of his misery and that sure won't be any tragedy...it is just the truth.

Ya know the IWO is seemingly trying to fuck me over again by putting me into hardcore matches. If you couldnt see by now im not a hardcore guy any more, i wrestle and god knows if i need to be hardcore i can do it, but heres the thing dont plan on it.
Black Dragon i see we meet again but theres one thing different from now than the last few times, im a new person one that you've never faced before and from what ive seen you havent changed a bit. Im against the hardcore shit and pure wrestling. The good thing is about this match is that the title ISNT on the line which is good because you cant even touch this belt.
But to Thugged out, i better not see you guys step foot in my match because if ya do your gonna get KILLED!!

*Crusher is seen walking down the hallway when he is stopped by Chad Wilard*
Chad: Hey Crusher, possible to get a few words before your match tonight?
Crusher: Yeah sure bro, go right ahead.
Chad: Let me first say welcome back to the IWO and ask how do you feel heading into your first match in nearly 5 months.
Crusher: Thanks Chad. Getting to the point though i'm feeling great. My body is in tip top condition and i'm feeling more focused than I ever have in my career.
Chad: It's great to hear that. May I ask about the mask?
Crusher: Yeah, I suppose. The mask is a difficult subject for me because nobody wants to wake up in the morning staring at the mangled and scarred twisted side of their face but on the other side, I do.
I love waking up, seeing it and reminding myself that HE still hasn't payed for this, this mess he left me with. i love knowing that someday I will do the exact same to him but in my own methods. Not the right side of his face nor the left, not the torso, legs nor arms. Spear, you better be prepared because when and if we ever meet one-on-one your whole body will be left mangled, destroyed, scarred andtorn by me. I promise you Primate, I will never.....forget.
Chad:..........will the mask be staying?
Crusher: Yes, I can't remove the mask under Doctors advice. I can remove it in my own time and times when not wrestling but wrestling the Doc says I can't risk opening it up again with the severity of the tissue damage underneath.
Maybe someday I will take it off, but one things for sure....I ain't scared. I ain't scared to show the world my motivation for killing Spear.
*Crusher storms off down the coridoor*
Chad: Thanks Crusher, I guess. Now back to you guys.

Henderson Far East Income aims to provide investors with a high level of dividends and capital appreciation over the long term, from a diversified portfolio of investments traded on the Pacific, Australasian, Japanese and Indian stock markets (Asia Pacific region). The fund is classified by the AIC in the Asia Pacific ex-Japan category and, while it does not have a benchmark, sees the FTSE All-World Asia Pacific ex-Japan index as providing the most appropriate comparator. While the fund does hold Japanese investments, they are not expected to be a substantial part of total assets.
Investment summary
Henderson Far East Income (HFEL) continues to reward its investors with a c 6% dividend yield, fully covered by revenues and growing year-on-year (4.9% CAGR over five years), as well as capital growth (total returns of c 8–14% a year over three, five and 10 years). Manager Mike Kerley notes that payout ratios across the Asia-Pacific region are increasing, supported by the strong cash position of many companies, although at an index level it is hard to observe the improvement, because of the huge growth of non-yielding Chinese internet stocks. The manager holds a relatively concentrated (c 50 names) portfolio of stocks that are broadly evenly split between those with a high starting yield and those offering good dividend growth prospects, and are diversified by sector and geography.

Archived Clinical Summary
Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2) in Adults: Screening
Originally published on: January 13, 2014
This recommendation statement is currently archived and inactive. It should be used for historical purposes only. Click here for copyright and source information .
Disclaimer:Recommendations made by the USPSTF are independent of the U.S. government. They should not be construed as an official position of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
This document is a summary of the 2008 recommendation of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) on screening for type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This summary is intended for use by primary care clinicians.
Select for copyright and source information.
|Asymptomatic Adults with Sustained Blood Pressure greater than 135/80 mm Hg
|Asymptomatic Adults with Sustained Blood Pressure 135/80 mm Hg or lower
|Screen for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Grade: B
|No Recommendation
Grade: I (Insufficient Evidence)
|Risk Assessment
These recommendations apply to adults with no symptoms of type 2 diabetes mellitus or evidence of possible complications of diabetes.Blood pressure measurement is an important predictor of cardiovascular complications in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The first step in applying this recommendation should be measurement of blood pressure (BP).
Adults with treated or untreated BP >135/80 mm Hg should be screened for diabetes.
|Screening Tests
|Three tests have been used to screen for diabetes:
|Screening Intervals
|The optimal screening interval is not known. The ADA, on the basis of expert opinion, recommends an interval of every 3 years.
|Suggestions for practice regarding insufficient evidence
When BP is ≤ 135/80 mm Hg, screening may be considered on an individual basis when knowledge of diabetes status would help inform decisions about coronary heart disease (CHD) preventive strategies, including consideration of lipid-lowering agents or aspirin.To determine whether screening would be helpful on an individual basis, information about 10-year CHD risk must be considered. For example, if CHD risk without diabetes was 17% and risk with diabetes was >20%, screening for diabetes would be helpful because diabetes status would determine lipid treatment. In contrast, if risk without diabetes was 10% and risk with diabetes was 15%, screening would not affect the decision to use lipid-lowering treatment.
|Other relevant information from the USPSTF and the Task Force on Community Preventive Services

Dear Plymouth UCC Members,
Thank you for your $2,000 Inspiration Grant to 350 Seattle! It's wonderful to receive support for our anti-racism workshop series: Our People Gonna Rise. Last year's series filled up and nearly 400 people joined the waiting list for the 2018 workshops. Thanks to Plymouth Church's support, we are able to offer this series again and can provide discounted-free admission to those who cannot afford to pay the actual cost.
We also want to extend our gratitude to Glenda Carper for recommending 350 Seattle for this grant and her commitment to this work. She was a critical volunteer during the last series… It's so wonderful to have Plymouth UCC support our work.

Venezuela's currency has lost so much value that people simply throw away their small bills — they are virtually worthless anyway.
Enter Wilmer Rojas, 25, who scoops them up off the street, uses an origami-like folding technique, a needle and thread to make handbags with an eye to selling them — maybe even abroad, where people have real money.
Rojas can use as many as 800 bills to make such a purse. If you add up the face value of all that money, it is enough to buy only half a kilogram of rice. Rojas and his wife have three kids to feed, and another is on the way.
"People throw them away because they are no good to buy anything. No one even accepts them anymore," Rojas told reporters outside a subway station, where he also sells coffee and cigarettes in addition to his unusual bag-weaving work.
Meanwhile, inflation in the oil-rich, cash-poor economy churns on and on: Since August last year, the bolivar has lost 87 percent of its value against the euro. Inflation this year is forecast by the IMF to come in at a staggering 13,000 percent.
With two, five and 10-bolivar notes, "you can't even buy a piece of candy," Rojas said, explaining how he used 400 such bills to make a smaller handbag.
Rojas then pointed to a queen's crown he made out of bolivar notes.
"Here there are about 50,000 bolivars [US$2], which is maybe enough for a pack of cigarettes," he said.
Rojas said he learned his craft from another makeshift artist.
"You can use magazine paper or newspaper pulp, but currency notes are better because they are not worth anything, they are all the same size and you don't have to waste time cutting them," Rojas said.
He hopes to start selling his creations soon, but he fears that Venezuela's economic crisis might foil his plans.
"Here, people barely have enough to put food on the table and are not going to shell out money for something that required a lot of work," he said.
In downtown Caracas, other hungry artisans are selling woven bags like these. They get as much as 300,000 bolivars for one of them. That would buy 1 kilogram of meat.
That Venezuela's currency is being used as play money is the ultimate expression of how much value it has lost, economist Tamara Herrera said.
With 1,000 two-bolivar notes that nobody wants, Jose Leon, a 26-year-old designer, began a protest on Instagram in 2016 that featured doctored notes and the hashtag #venezueladevaluada, or devalued Venezuela.
Deadpool, the anti-hero in the Marvel comics, was the inspiration for his first work on currency notes, using his face to replace that of independence hero Simon Bolivar.
Leon has also drawn the faces of Star Wars characters over that of Bolivar and other famous Venezuelans pictured on the notes.
Leon's customers live abroad and pay him up to US$20 per piece of "money art."
"With a bit of Wite-Out and some pens, I can raise the value of the currency by nearly 5,000 percent," Leon said at his workshop in San Cristobal, a city on Venezuela's border with Colombia.
Leon is doing well with his art, but Rojas is still struggling to make money — in the meantime, he is using notes to make a carnival costume for his daughter.
"These things are no good for buying anything. At least I am putting them to good use rather than throwing them away," Rojas said.

Cork-born Graham Norton is our favourite TV host and his weekly show is seen across the world.
He somehow has the talent and power to make his guests let loose and admit things they would never dream of on other shows.
Because his show is on stations in all major territories he has some of the best celebrity interviews on television. The funniest talk show moments like Rebel Wilson's nunchuck skills or Russell Crowe in the Red Chair are hilarious moments and drunk Mark Wahlberg is unforgettable.
Watch a master at work!

Hong Kong january property news
Year of the Dragon or Year of the Landlord?!
It's set to be a big year in the rental market in HK!
With people finding it difficult to afford the down-payment even for smaller properties at the lower end of the scale. As a result of the LTV ratio guidelines in place for the Hong Kong mortgage market to follow. For example, 30% as a down-payment is required for properties valued below HK$7 million because the 70% LTV ratio guideline is in place, with the maximum loan amount capped at HK$4.2 million. Couple this with the current uncertainty in the global markets, with the reporting of job cuts becoming an almost daily occurence: means that more and more people are failing to get on the property ladder and are remaining in the rental market.
Whilst bearing in mind, HKR's December news release, in which we wrote about the prevailing low interest rates, contributing to landlords reluctance to lower their price points. This being one such rationale for them renting their properties out for a healthy rental return instead of selling.
With both sectors fuelling the other, this trend is set to continue in the Year of the Dragon! Here at HKR we have seen a growing number of units shifting from being "for sale" status to "leased" or "sale with lease". Which depending on the circumstances will make it more difficult to sell.
If you are looking for a place to rent or if you are at your break-clause stage and would like a market overview, call Hong Kong Realty Ltd now!`
