Looking for either .eps or .ai logo files for new ad marketplace logo
Search Friendly Ads
no tagline - the name is enough to deal with
Desired Color Scheme:
Desired Style:
clean and strong.
Accepted File Formats:
.eps and .ai
We are nearing the end of development and starting to focus on branding. We have a current logo that we threw together quickly that is currently being used on the teaser page @ http://search-friendly-ads.com
We would like to stick with "SFA" as the iconic focus of the logo, however, we are definitely looking for some creative ideas and concepts to create a memorable logo. the name itself is memorable - the product is exactly what the name is, it serves up search friendly ads on websites.
We are looking for strong, rich colors to represent our brand and we particularly like RED. That being said, we need the logo to reverse easily since it will likely be on a red background for the site design.
You can submit a "web 2.0", but that it not necessarily what we are looking for...
Please let us know if you have any questions, and thank you for your time with this!
While I do like magnifying glasses, I think that it is too "cliche" for the terms search. And, "Search" doesn't really represent what our product is. The product is actually an ad serving technology - the service being an ad marketplace; therefore, you're not using our product/service to perform a "search", it just happens to be part of our name.

Suppose that I am given a subscheme $Y$ of $\mathbf{P}^n_{\mathbf{Z}}$, flat over $\operatorname{Spec}\mathbf{Z}$ and with smooth generic fiber $Y_{\mathbf{Q}}$, defined by the vanishing of some homogeneous polynomials $$ F_1, \ldots, F_k \in \mathbf{Z}[X_0,\ldots,X_n]. $$ How does one determine the set $S$ consisting of primes $p$ such that the fiber $Y_{\mathbf{F}_p}$ is non-smooth?
The way I'm going about the problem seems a bit crude to me, and has some problems. In particular, I can't prove that my algorithm solves the problem.
For simplicity suppose that $k=1$, and write $F=F_1$. In a nutshell, I compute the derivatives $f_i := \frac{\partial F}{\partial X_i}$, and determine an integer $N$ such that $N$ is contained in the ideal $I = (F, f_1, \ldots, f_n) \subset \mathbf{Z}[X_0,\ldots,X_n]$ by repeatedly taking resultants of polynomials in $I$. Then at least for all $p$ not dividing $N$, the fiber $Y_{\mathbf{F}_p}$ is smooth, since for such $p$ the ideal $I_p \subset \mathbf{F}_p[X_0,\ldots,X_n]$ generated by the reduced polynomials $\widetilde{F}$, $\widetilde{f}_1$,$\ldots$,$\widetilde{f}_n$ contains $1$.
One problem is that it's quite expensive computationally. I'm using resultants to eliminate the variables $X_i$ one by one, say in the order $i=0,1,\ldots,n$. Then every time I've eliminated one of the $X_i$s, I get a lot of polynomials that don't contain $X_0$ up to $X_i$, and I take them all into the next elimination round. (You have to be careful when the resultant comes out $0$, and perhaps there are some other subtleties that I'm forgetting, but this is basically it.) Another problem with this is that the final outcome seems to depend on the order in which I take the $i$s. (This may have something to do with singularities being located at infinity with respect to one of the $X_i$s [edit: on second thought, this doesn't make any sense; see comment by François], but I really can't see the geometry of what I'm doing clearly enough to be confident about this.) And I don't see why my method necessarily gives me the whole $S$ - instead of some upper bound on it - even when all orderings of the $X_i$ are taken into account.
My questions:
- Does my method give the whole set $S$?
- If yes, why? If no, what method does work?
- Regardless of the answers to 1. and 2., is there a faster or more natural way of finding the primes of bad reduction?

This is a Dick Tracy hand puppet made by Ideal in 1961. The back of his neck says 1961 CHIC TRIB NY DAILY NEWS SYND. He has a rubber head and a cloth body. He is wearing his signature two way wrist radio. Although the comic strip debuted in 1931, the two way wrist radio did not appear until 1946, but became an iconic device frequently associated with Dick Tracy. The comic strip ran until 1977. I don't have much information specifically about this item, only what is printed on the back of his neck. Any additional information out there?

Current research
The aim of my research is to identify the social-ecological conditions under which chimpanzees persist in West Africa and to evaluate the effectiveness of different conservation scenarios.
For this I am modeling the density distribution of western chimpanzees across their entire range using chimpanzee surveys that were contributed via the IUCN/SSC A.P.E.S. database and satellite data. Questions I want to answer include:
- How many chimpanzees remain in West Africa?
- Which ecological and socio-economic factors drive their distribution?
- How can conservation actions be prioritized across the range of this taxon?
- What is the financial need for the implementation of different conservation scenarios?
This work will help to prepare the upcoming update of the conservation action plans for this chimpanzee subspecies. I am involved in the evaluation of the viability and threat status of chimpanzee populations and spatial prioritization of conservation actions. This project is part of the research group "Great Ape Evolutionary Ecology and Conservation" and is supervised by Prof. Dr. Christophe Boesch, Dr. Hjalmar Kühl and Dr. Roger Mundry.

How to Clean When You Have Rheumatoid Arthritis
Experts share tips on accomplishing your spring cleaning to-do list—minus the rheumatoid arthritis pain!
Ready to shake off the winter doldrums and spruce up your home and yard? Try these expert tips—they can help you make the most of your time while minimizing rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-related joint pain and fatigue!
If you need to…
Mow the lawn
"Most people have the handle of their lawn mower set several inches too low, causing them to bend and strain their lower back," says physical therapist John Gallucci Jr., founder of JAG Physical Therapy in West Orange, NJ. "You want to be standing as straight as possible while you mow—dig out your manual to find the ideal settings for your height."
And it's good to take breaks every 10 minutes: "You may not realize it, but the heavy vibration of mowers and other motorized tools can irritate your nerves and inflame your joints," says orthopedic surgeon Taizoon Baxamusa, MD, of the Illinois Bone and Joint Institute in Morton Grove, Ill.
Tip! Instead of lifting bags for lawn clippings off the ground, use clothespins to attach them to a fence and fill 'em without bending!
Store your stuff
"A few years ago, stores were full of these huge plastic storage tubs," remembers Gallucci. "People would fill them up and try to lift them, and then hurt themselves. Now we've seen a move to smaller, more manageable sizes of storage containers. Divide the contents of your old big bins and boxes into smaller ones—your back, shoulders and neck will thank you!"
Tip! Reconsider bulk shopping trips. "Hauling a tray with two dozen cans of beans may not be worth it if you have arthritis," says Gallucci. "If you can't resist the bargains, be careful about how you lift large items—bend from the knees and lift with your legs."
Prune the bushes
Switching to ergonomic pruning shears makes a huge difference, says Dr. Baxamusa. "With traditional shears you have to squeeze really hard, which puts pressure on your basilar joint—the joint where your thumb meets the wrist. Ergonomic versions require less squeezing because the points meet without your having to completely close the handles."
Tip! When you want to trim the stems of a bouquet, skip shears and scissors. Instead, lay the stems on a cutting board and use a knife—slicing motions are easier on stiff, achy hands than the squeezing required by shears.
Vacuum or deep-clean rugs
"One of the biggest cleaning mistakes arthritis sufferers make is standing still while vacuuming," says Shelly Peterman Schwarz, author of Home Accessibility: 300 Tips for Making Life Easier (Demos Health, 2012). "You really need to walk while you vacuum, even if it's slowly. Standing still and just pushing and pulling the machine puts extra stress on your back and wrists."
Tip! Need to sweep? Schwarz recommends grabbing a child's play broom (i.e., a broom with a short handle) so you can sit while you sweep.
Tend to your garden
"I tell patients with arthritis that they should be more aware of the nicks and scrapes that come with gardening than other folks," says Gallucci. Why? "When hands are already prone to inflammation, small cuts—and especially jagged lacerations—can compound swelling and pain." Luckily, the solution is easy: Invest in a great, slim-fitting pair of gardening gloves!
Tip! Pulling weeds? In between all that repetitive motion, slowly flex each finger backward, just slightly. "This is a yoga-like move called a 'differential hand stretch'—I do it all the time before surgery!" says Dr. Baxamusa.
Paint exterior trim
"Just because you can do the motions required for a painting project doesn't mean you should do them for hours at a time," notes Gallucci. "In the spring, my practice sees a tremendous number of shoulder injuries due to painting: impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tendinitis and more. I suggest working in 20-minute intervals—and stretching your shoulders before and after each work period—to prevent pain." Another great option? "Hire the neighbor kid to do it!"
Tip! If you do a lot of painting, think about buying an angled paintbrush. Designed with an L-shaped offset handle, the tool forces your arms and shoulders to do the work normally done by hands and wrists.
Plan an all-day cleanup
"You wouldn't tackle a marathon without training, but patients often decide to spend a full weekend tackling chore after chore, especially if they're selling a house or prepping for guests," says Dr. Baxamusa. "It's never a good idea: You're much better off spreading out the tasks over two weeks." Gallucci agrees: "After virtually hibernating during winter, people start taking on big projects and spending all day outside. Yes, the sunshine is tempting—but pace yourself and you'll enjoy better health!"
Tip! Have a to-do list that's too long to ignore? Alternate tasks that stress different parts of your body and different groups of joints. For example, dusting a ceiling fan in the morning should be followed by something that doesn't tax your shoulders, like bending to clean out a drawer.

Q: My filter has multiple size connections. How do I know which size I should use?
Linda – Toms River, NJ
A: Manufacturers may offer several size connections for a filter or pump. Just take a look at the AllClear™ PLUS Filter & SolidFlo™ Pump Combo or the PowerUV™ & SolidFlo™ Pump Combo tech specs, and you'll see what we mean.
Deciphering those measurement ranges – a ½ inch fitting to a 1-1/2 inch fitting and everything in between – can be a challenge for DIYers. When figuring out what size to use, keep two things in mind: flow rate and pond aesthetics.
Go with the Flow Rate
Your filter's flow rate refers to how much water passes through it in one hour's time. The more water your pond holds, the higher the flow rate will need to be. Generally, you want the flow rate of your system to be fast enough to turn over your pond at least once every two hours.
The flow rate will also determine how your pond looks, meaning how much water channels through the filter and down your waterfall. Whether you have a small pond with a slow meandering stream or a goliath water feature with a gushing 4-foot waterfall, the look of it will be affected by the filter's flow rate. You'll also need to factor in your head pressure when determining the amount of flow needed.
Choosing Tubing
The diameter of your tubing will determine the maximum flow it can handle. The greater the diameter, the more water can be moved (as long as your pump can handle it). Think of it like this: If you're drinking water through a straw, you'll get a bigger gulp from a standard-size straw than a narrow cocktail straw.
If you've determined that you need a pump that will move 2,500 gallons of water per hour, for example, following the recommendations below you would need to use 1-1/4″ tubing.
- Up to 500 gph: Use 1/2-inch tubing
- Up to 900 gph: Use 3/4-inch tubing
- Up to 1,500 gph: Use 1-inch tubing
- Up to 2,700 gph: Use 1-1/4-inch tubing
- Up to 3,600 gph: Use 1-1/2-inch tubing
Tubing too small would restrict the flow of water, while tubing too large would not create enough pressure to achieve the desired look. Choose wisely!

Project Trail Hugger 2008 Hummer H3 Alpha Cell Phone Signal Booster - Can You Hear Me Now?
Part 8: Wilson Electronics Cellular Signal Amplifier
Quite simply, your cell phone is a two-way radio. Most modern cell phones have an output of 0.2 to 0.6 watts, according to the FCC. This isn't much, but it's enough to communicate with a cell tower up to 5 to 8 miles away. This distance is approximate; there are a number of factors that can decrease or increase the distance. We all know what happens when we're too far from a tower. The dreaded "no service" message appears. Those of us who travel to the cellular-challenged backcountry are used to seeing this message. The trails in and around Moab come to mind. But sometimes you don't have to be in the backcountry to lose cellular service. There are poor coverage areas on every network that can result in a significant decrease in signal strength, causing dropped calls or even a complete loss of signal. Another thing: Your cell phone may get a decent signal when you're outdoors, but when you surround yourself with the metal of your rig, the cellular signal can erode in a big way. So what can you do?
Like you, we've experienced cell-phone signal hassles so we went looking for a solution. What we found is the SignalBoost Mini-Mobile Amplifier Kit. This kit is one of four mobile bundles manufactured by Wilson Electronics, a leader in the wireless communications industry for more than 40 years. The company offers a wide variety of amplifiers, antennas, and related components designed to significantly improve cellular communications for both mobile and in-building situations. The mobile kits have an MSRP ranging from $329 to $374. Our SignalBoost Mini-Mobile Amplifier Kit with Cradle Plus included a magnet-base external antenna, an amplifier, a power cord, earbuds, and the aforementioned Cradle Plus. This dual-band system supercharges the outgoing cellular signal up to 3 watts, is plug-n-play, allows multiple phones and data cards to be used simultaneously, requires no physical connection to the cell phone, and works with all major cell-phone carriers.
Here's how it works. The system uses two internal amplifier circuits that boost cellular signals to and from the cell tower simultaneously. Weak signals broadcast from a distant cell tower are captured by the roof-mounted antenna, amplified by the highly sensitive receiving amplifier and rebroadcast with greater strength to cellular devices in the interior of the vehicle through the Cradle Plus or the Ultra-Slim antenna. Conversely, outgoing signals from cell devices in the vehicle are picked up by the interior antenna, amplified by the outgoing amplifier and rebroadcast back to the cell tower.
It took longer for us to open the box and fish out the components than it did to get the unit installed and operational in project Trailhugger. We powered the unit up and were instantly blown away at the vast improvement in cellular signal. Here's what we installed and how it works.
Trailhugger Is Done, For Now...
With this installment we're going to close out the initial build of project Trailhugger. When we took delivery of our Hummer H3 Alpha on November 9, 2007, it was bone-stock with 52 miles on the odometer. From the beginning our goals were simple; improve its on- and off-highway functionality without sacrificing the great ride and handling. Trailhugger now has a slew of modifications and over 24,000 miles on the odometer and we feel like we met our goals. The rig is more capable off-highway but it still rides and handles beautifully. Better actually.
So far we've only had one warranty issue (a faulty cargo light switch) and only had to part with a tad over $250 for regularly scheduled maintenance through our favorite dealer, Bergstrom Hummer in Madison, Wisconsin. When the truck was bone-stock, the 5.3L V-8 returned an average of 15.2 mpg. Our goal was to keep that number as intact as possible so the truck wouldn't turn into a wallet-draining gas hog. This goal had a lot to do with why we built the truck as we did. We're happy to report that the finished product averages 14.2 mpg, so mpg loss was minimal.
So what's down the trail for our H3? Well, we know there are lots of products in development for the H3, including selectable front lockers, so that's on the radar. We're also exploring the possibility of a long-travel IFS kit or a full coilover suspension. For now, though, our H3 will stay as it is and continue to hug trails.

IMPORTANT NOTE: These terms and conditions apply in the absence of a previously signed written contract between Schiller and its customer or between Schiller and its authorized distributor.
1. General
1.1 These Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery of Schiller ("the Terms" or "these Terms") are binding upon customer when they are declared applicable by Schiller in a Purchase Order (which has a weblink reference to these Terms or attaches these Terms as the case may be), and when the Purchase Order is confirmed in writing by Schiller (" the Order Confirmation"); and to the extent Schiller and the customer do not expressly and in writing agree to other terms or there exists at the time of the placing of the order a binding, written agreement between the parties setting forth the terms and conditions of sale, whether the other party is a customer or a distributor, in which case such other written agreement shall govern and control. Differing terms and conditions of sale or delivery proposed by the customer will only be binding or modify any existing agreement only to the extent that such terms and conditions are expressly accepted by Schiller in writing. Unless otherwise provided or set forth in a written agreement between Schiller and customer, the relevant rules of the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR) shall apply. For purposes of these Terms, the term "customer" shall mean a customer purchasing products directly from Schiller or a distributor purchasing such products for resale without an existing written contract with Schiller. The term "the Contract" shall mean these Terms and the written Order Confirmation as confirmed in writing by Schiller.
1.2 Unless otherwise provided or set forth in a written agreement between Schiller and customer, a contract for a specific order shall be created and be binding subject to these Terms only when the customer receives written confirmation of Schiller by way of Order Confirmation confirming that Schiller accepts the order described therein.
2. Rules in the country of destination, protection devices and rules
2.1 The customer shall, at the latest at the time the Purchase Order is placed with Schiller, or at Schiller's request, disclose and point to Schiller's attention the rules and regulations applicable in the customer's country with respect to the services and deliveries of Schiller, especially rules and regulations for protection against disease or accidents or business disruptions.
2.2 The deliveries and services of Schiller products set forth and described in the Order Confirmation are intended to correspond to the rules and regulations at the domicile of the customer, insofar as they are known to Schiller at the time of written acceptance of the Purchase Order by Schiller, but it shall be the customer's exclusive responsibility to alert and notify Schiller regarding any such rules and regulations.
2.3 The use of hazardous substances and the management of electrical and electronic equipment are intended to meet the fundamental requirements of the WEEE and RoHS Directives (2002/96/EC and 2002/95/EC).

3.1 All Prices quoted by Schiller are strictly net, ex works (EXW, Incoterms 2010), in Swiss Francs, without any deductions. All extra costs, e.g. for packaging, freight, insurance, export, transit, import and other permissions, as well as certifications, are payable by the customer, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Schiller.
4.0 Terms of payment
4.1 The customer must effect and make payments to Schiller at the domicile of Schiller in Baar, Switzerland (according to any payment instructions required by Schiller in the Order Confirmation) within thirty (30) days after issuance of an invoice by Schiller or according to the agreed terms of payment. Payment shall be made by customer without any deduction, set-off, withholding or discount, expenses, taxes, duties, fees, tolls and similar offsets. If payment by promissory note is agreed to by Schiller, the customer shall bear all interest, note taxes and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred by Schiller to collect any amounts due under said promissory note, which shall be a separate written instrument.
4.2 Customer must comply with the agreed payment terms and schedule set forth in the Order Confirmation and make such payments in full even if transport, delivery, installation, putting into operation or acceptance of the deliveries or services are delayed or made impossible for reasons for which Schiller is not responsible, or if insignificant parts are missing, or if reworking measures are necessary, that do not make the use of the delivered products impossible or unacceptable. It shall be the sole responsibility of customer to address and resolve any and all issues customer may have or that may arise with customs and government officials, and shipping, transportation and /or warehouse personnel for release and delivery of the products to customer at the destination.
4.3 If the customer does not comply with the payment terms of the Order Confirmation, the customer shall be responsible for and pay interest on the amount in arrears as of the agreed payment date. Interest shall accrue on and apply to arrears and shall correspond to the usual prevailing annual interest at the domicile of Schiller in Baar, Switzerland, but shall be not less than five percent (5%). This provision requiring customer to pay interest is not a waiver of Schiller's rights to seek any additional compensation and/or damages against customer, and all such rights are expressly reserved herewith.
4.4 If customer does not make any required down-payment towards the Contract and/or provide any guarantee of payment as may be required by Schiller in its sole discretion, Schiller shall have the right to cancel the Contract at Schiller's convenience or for cause, and Schiller may withdraw performance thereunder without liability to the customer, reserving and not waiving any and all rights against customer to be paid compensation for any damages or losses incurred in preparing to perform and/or beginning to perform, as the case may be.
4.5 If the customer at any time during performance of the Contract by Schiller or the applicable term of the Order Confirmation fails to make any installment payments that may be agreed-upon by Schiller or set forth in the Order Confirmation, or make final payment or fails to comply with the payment terms of the Order Confirmation, or if Schiller has good faith reasons to believe that payment may not be forthcoming from customer, Schiller shall have the right to suspend performance of the Contract and not deliver the product or cancel the Contract after giving notice to the customer and an opportunity to perform within a reasonable period of time, without any liability to customer and reserving and not waiving any and all rights to compensation for any damages or losses incurred in performing or arising out of the suspension or cancellation.

In any bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, customer agrees that Schiller shall have the rights of a secured and protected creditor with respect to any unpaid Schiller products.
5.2 To the extent customer may receive and be in possession of Schiller products when title and ownership have not passed to the customer, the customer agrees to keep and maintain adequate insurance to cover said products and protect Schiller's ownership in and title to them and to adequately and fully insure said products against fire, flood, earthquakes, war, riots, hurricanes, typhoons, tornados, terrorist attack, acts of God and other risks.
6.0 Term of delivery
6.1 The date of delivery of Schiller products shall only be binding when it is specifically confirmed in writing by Schiller by way of the written Order Confirmation as confirmed in writing by Schiller. Customer agrees that delivery shall not be made by Schiller until all official formalities such as import, export, transit and payment permissions are obtained by customer, and after full payment for the products is made to Schiller, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Schiller. Delivery is expressly made contingent on compliance by customer with these Terms.
6.2 Customer agrees that Schiller may reasonably modify the date of delivery for or because of any or a combination of the following reasons:
(a) when customer has not provided Schiller with the information or specifications needed to fulfill the Contract in due time, or when the customer changes the information or specifications after the Purchase Order is confirmed by Schiller in writing or customer otherwise causes a delay of the deliveries or services;
(b) Force Majeure events over which Schiller has no control, such as fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, tornados, tsunamis, floods, epidemics, war, riots, strikes, terrorist acts, labor disputes, lack of or late supply of raw materials, semi-finished or finished products, government official measures, and acts of God;
(c) Customers or third parties affiliated with or used or retained by customer are delayed with respect to customer's performance or tasks that customer is required to perform under the Contract.
7. Packaging
7.1 Customer agrees that Schiller will invoice customer and be paid for special packaging separately, unless otherwise agreed by Schiller in writing.

8. Risk of Loss
8.1 Risk of loss shall pass to the customer with the departure of the deliveries ex works (EXW Incoterms 2010).
8.2 If the shipment is delayed at the request of the customer for other reasons for which Schiller is not responsible, the risk shall pass to the customer at the point of time when delivery ex works was originally planned and was supposed to occur, regardless if the products are located at Schiller's facilities. From that point of time forward, any Schiller products that are ready for delivery will be stored by Schiller for a reasonable time at the sole expense and risk of the customer.
8.3 Any changes to Schiller's standard shipment and transportation procedures will only be binding on Schiller only upon previous written agreement by Schiller.
9. Warranties/ Disclaimer of Liability / Acceptance by Customer
9.1 Unless another duration of the limited warranty period is otherwise stated by Schiller in writing in the Contract or in the OEM Schiller product literature included with the product, Schiller warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery. This is a Limited Warranty and all other warranties, implied or express, are hereby disclaimed. The only remedy under this Limited Warranty for any defects is either repair by Schiller at Schiller's cost or replacement of the product, at Schiller's sole discretion. In no event will Schiller's liability to customer exceed the purchase price of the product in question.
Exclusions: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY COVERS NORMAL USE ONLY. THIS WARRANTY BECOMES NULL AND VOID AND DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY PRODUCT THAT: (a) was sold by non-authorized Schiller distributors or representatives; (b) has been installed, altered, or repaired by non-Schiller authorized personnel or using non-Schiller parts or accessories, unless such installation, alterations, or repairs have been previously approved in writing by Schiller and have been properly performed in accordance with such approval; (c) has not been serviced, operated, maintained, and upgraded (including all software and firmware associated with it) per Schiller's recommendations and/or specifications; (d) has been damaged or rendered defective by accident, shipment, handling, improper storage, abuse, misuse, neglect, modifications, misapplication, or a failure to exercise due caution in cleaning, maintenance, or operation; (e) has been damaged by any power line variations, such as voltage spikes and transients, noise, under or over voltage conditions, power outages, or any conditions caused by an act of God; (f) has been damaged with that damage attributable to any associated or complementary equipment or software not furnished by Schiller; (g) has been used in an application or manner for which it was not intended or operated under environmental, power, electrical and operating conditions which are beyond those specified by Schiller; or (h) sold by a website or e-commerce platform not previously authorized in writing by Schiller.

9.4 To the fullest extent permitted by law, customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Schiller and its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, and consultants harmless from and against any and all third party claims, losses, costs and damages of whatever nature, including but not limited to attorney's fees, experts' fees, and litigation costs and expenses, arising out of any negligence, errors or omissions or willful conduct by customer or breaches of the Contract by customer and involving personal injury, sickness, disease, death or property damages, including economic loss, but only to the extent caused in whole or in part by the negligent acts, willful conduct or errors or omissions of the customer or its employees, representatives or agents. This indemnification obligation shall survive termination of the Contract or its expiration or fulfillment by customer.
10. Governing Law / Jurisdiction/ Litigation Fees and Costs
10.1 The governing law of the Contract shall be Swiss law unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Schiller. Any and all disputes under the Contract and/or these Terms shall be litigated in the Swiss court available at the domicile of Schiller AG in Baar, Switzerland, except that Schiller reserves the right to file suit in the country or jurisdiction of the customer, in Schiller's sole discretion. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.
10.2 If Schiller is the prevailing party in any litigation or dispute under the contract or these Terms, Schiller shall be entitled to recover and be paid by customer, Schiller's reasonable attorney's fees, experts' fees and court costs and litigation expenses.
11. Other Provisions

11.2 Non-waiver: Any failure by Schiller to insist upon or enforce performance by customer of any of the provisions of these Terms or the Contract or to exercise any right or remedy under these Terms or the Contract Agreement or applicable law will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of Schiller's right to assert or rely upon any such provision, right or remedy in that or any instance.
11.3 Assignment: Customer shall not assign the Contract to any party without the previous written consent of Schiller, and any attempt to assign it without such consent shall automatically render the purported assignment null and void.

Alain necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 114 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
Sorry, didn't realize about the guaranteed prize. Sorry new to this. But I need a cool, catchy, logo for "blowfin" we develop games for iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile. We create reality based games, so you can play in the real world.
The symbolism of "blowfin" is fun, social, interactive. So I want the logo designed so it fits a mobile development company. Our company specializes in games that encourages interaction, that means, people will play with other people in real life. And they use their favorite Smartphone as their Device for playing these games. So I'm looking for something not generic of course. Needs to stand out, but easy to identify,
I like nice happy colors, we have a basic one on our site. I like the color scheme on my partial website, but I'm open to different colors, just as long a it is not dark and gloom, I like Orange, green, yellow, lighter blue, more on the brighter colors. But want the colors to mesh well of course. http://www.blowfin.com
I would like to capture the "O" on blowfin and make it stand out somehow. The tag line would be "Interactive Mobile Games" but does not have to be part of the logo.
The rest is up to you guys, cause I'm looking for creativity but not complicated.
I don't want dark and gloomy colors. Blowfin also does not have any relationship to fish.

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) is to investigate Swedish telecoms equipment maker Ericsson in regard to a dispute over charges levied on Indian group Micromax for the use of Ericsson's patents.
Ericsson had sued Micromax in March 2013 for patent infringement and the company responded by filing a complaint to the CCI, Ericsson said.
"The CCI has now decided to refer the case to the director general for an in-depth investigation," Ericsson said in a statement, adding it would fully cooperate with the probe.
According to a document on the CCI's website, it will investigate whether Ericsson charges Micromax too much in royalties to use its patents.
In its complaint to the commission, Micromax said Ericsson abused its dominant position in patents by imposing "exorbitant royalty rates," the document showed.
Micromax argued that royalties for Ericsson patents related to mobile phones should be based on the value of the technology used, not on the sale price of a phone.
The latter method makes royalties paid for smartphones much higher than standard phones.
Ericsson said it had tried several times to sign a license agreement with Micromax on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms.

Syrian rebels advance, oblivious to infighting
BEIRUT (AP) — A dual picture of Syria's rebellion is emerging: Fighters on the ground make advances, seizing territory in the south and even firing one of the heaviest mortar volleys yet into the heart of Damascus on Monday. But at the same time, the would-be opposition leadership is falling deeper into disarray.
The dichotomy underlines the difficulties as the U.S. and its allies try to shape the course of the fight to oust President Bashar Assad — and, more importantly, avert chaos in the event the regime is toppled.
As the Syrian civil war enters its third year, hopes that the perpetually fragmented opposition would coalesce to form a real leadership for the fighters on the ground seem more elusive than ever.
Instead, divisions broke out this week in the main opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition. Its head announced he was stepping down, complaining of restrictions on his work. Amid infighting, 10 other members said they were suspending their membership.
The resignation by Mouaz al-Khatib, a respected Muslim preacher seen as a uniting figure and a moderate against the rising influence of Islamic extremists among Syria's rebels, came only days after the SNC narrowly elected a little-known information technology professional from Texas to head a planned interim government as its prime minister.
In another blow, the head of the SNC's military branch, Gen. Salim Idris, said his group refused to recognize the new prime minister, Ghassan Hitto, because he lacked broad support among the opposition. Hitto was backed by the Muslim Brotherhood and the Gulf nation of Qatar; many prominent opposition figures boycotted the vote that installed him.
Amid the disarray, the Coalition, largely comprised of exiles, has made little mark among the hundreds of independent rebel brigades that are doing the fighting against Assad's forces. Most rebel groups still cobble together their own funding and arms and give little more than lip-service to the authority of Idris' Office of the Chiefs of Staff.
Still, rebels have recently been running up successes on the ground. Fighters have been steadily gaining more ground near Syria's southern border with Jordan and Israel. In the north, they have been expanding the territory they hold, recently capturing the city of Raqqa, a series of military bases and the country's largest dam.
Rebels have also seized footholds on the edge of the heavily guarded capital and, while they have been unable to break into the city, they have used their positions for mortar barrages, trying to shake the government's grip.
On Monday, they fired off a volley of mortar shells that crashed near a landmark downtown traffic circle in the capital, killing two people and wounding several others, state TV said. It was some of the worst shelling in the heart of the city since the rebellion against Assad began in March 2011.
Such sporadic strikes on Damascus have grown more common in recent weeks and often appear to target government buildings. Most cause only material damage, but spread fear in Damascus that the capital, which has so far managed to avoid the widespread clashes that have destroyed other cities, could soon face the same fate.
Damascus residents reported hearing intensive shelling on Monday, though it was hard to tell where it was coming from.
"We have gotten used to the sounds, but it saddens me to see the streets of Damascus empty after 6 p.m.," said Youssef al-Ashhab, a 47-year-old civil servant.
The mortar barrage struck Damascus' Umayyad Square, at the center of a large intersection west of downtown near the government TV headquarters and less than a kilometer (mile) from Assad's formal residence. The office of Syria's general military command is also nearby.
It is also near the famous Opera House, often frequented by Assad and his British-born wife, Asma, before the uprising, and the Sheraton hotel, used by U.N. workers in Syria.
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said Monday that the U.N. is temporarily relocating some Damascus-based staff of the office of joint U.N.-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi to Beirut and to the office's main office in Cairo following mortar fire that damaged the hotel and a U.N. vehicle.
He said all national staff from Brahimi's office have been asked to work from home until further notice.
The international community has been at a loss for ways to stop the bloodshed in Syria, complicated by the lack of cohesive opposition leadership. Hitto's election as interim prime minister of rebel-held territory is unlikely to create greater unity on the battlefield.
On Sunday, a rebel military leader was wounded in the foot by a bomb planted in his car in eastern Syria, according to activists and rebels.
Col. Riad al-Asaad, a former colonel in the Syrian air force who defected and fled to Turkey in 2011, was the leader of a now-sidelined rebel umbrella group known as the Free Syrian Army. Al-Asaad was said to be hospitalized in Turkey, and there were conflicting reports on whether his foot was amputated after the attack.
Al-Asaad was among the first to call openly for armed insurrection against Assad. Initially, most Syrian activists were inspired by the uprisings that had successfully toppled dictators in Tunisia and Egypt and thought popular protests would bring about the same result in Syria. But the Syrian government's vast, violent crackdown on opposition caused many to resort to arms.
Today, hundreds of independent rebel groups are fighting a civil war against Assad's forces across the country, and many activists no longer bother to stage unarmed protests. The U.N. says more than 70,000 people have been killed since the first protests in March, 2011.
Also Monday, the Syrian National Coalition said a delegation was heading to Doha, where the Gulf state of Qatar will host a two-day Arab League summit starting Tuesday.
Foreign ministers of the League's member states decided Monday to grant Syria's seat in the body to the opposition. The Syria government's membership was suspended earlier in the uprising.
Al-Khatib will head the delegation despite his resignation this week as head of the SNC. He said in a post on his Facebook page that he would address the summit "in the name of the Syrian people." He said the move had nothing to do with his resignation, "which will be discussed later."

DOSTANA and FASHION brought homosexuality out of the closet. One assumes STRAIGHT would take it one step ahead. It would look at gays, the relationships, the emotions. It doesn't. On the contrary, it talks of a person who's confused of his sexual preferences, one who doesn't know if he swings or not, is in fact homophobic.
STRAIGHT could've explored all this and more beautifully, without getting preachy, but unfortunately, there's no dum in the screenplay. It's dry and dreary and goes on and on and on... and ends up being a boring exercise.
In the midst of central London, a successful Indian restaurant called 'Gaylord' is run by a Londoner of Indian origin called Pinu [Vinay Pathak]. A simple soul at heart, Pinu has many complexes -- a special one being that he is a virgin and has experienced no intimacy with a woman.
After a failed and humiliating experience when Pinu went to India to have an arranged marriage to a traditional girl who finally dumped him at the altar and eloped with her lover, Pinu is broken and disheartened. One day, a young Indian called Kamles [Anuj Chaudhary] comes to his restaurant and asks for a job as a stand-up comedian. Pinu initially refuses, but finally lets him join as a cook, who also does a stand-up act in the evenings.
On the same day, he hires a new cashier Renu [Gul Panag], a young art student from India, who has a passion for caricatures. Life changes dramatically for Pinu as 'Gaylord' begins to transform...
One fine day, Kamles win a lottery and as he goes to hug Pinu in his excitement, he lands an accidental kiss on his lips. Pinu is thrown into a daze as he walks away from the restaurant that night. He has discovered a totally new fear: he might be Gay.
Director Parvati Balagopalan has chosen an interesting story, but hasn't been able to stretch it for two hours convincingly. In fact, there's no movement in the first hour. The three characters [Vinay Pathak, Gul Panag and Anuj Chaudhary] keep talking randomly, without coming to the main issue. Besides, the conversation, most of the times, is absolutely bland.
There's a flicker of hope in the second hour. A few sequences are interestingly handled, but what gets served eventually and the time it takes to reach the culmination, the entire journey is so yawn-inducing.
Parvati disappoints this time. Given the fact that the writing lacks meat, there's little that she can do to salvage the show. Music is another drawback. It's more of an intruder. Cinematography too is inconsistent.
Vinay Pathak does his job earnestly, but why take off the shirt again and again? Why this need to show off Vinay's hairy chest? Gul Panag is likable and enacts her part well. Anuj Chaudhary is okay, but it remains unexplained till the end whether he's gay or straight. That's one of the reasons why his relationship with Vinay is least convincing. There should've been some clarity on this issue. Siddharth Kakkar is alright. Rasik Dave and Ketaki Dave provide some laughs.
On the whole, STRAIGHT is as confused as the protagonist in the film. Disappointing!
