China is rushing faster than ever to build its own semiconductor industry'which could shake the global tech sector.
In WILTW February 4, 2016, we recommended that clients redeploy profits from ChemChina's acquisition of Syngenta into China's next-potential acquisition target: semiconductors. In recent issues, we have highlighted how China's determination for technology independence in semiconductors is 'ground zero' for the trade war. China is 'the world's factory,' making up about 85% of smartphones, 82% of tablets, 66% of TVs, and 81% of PCs. However, China consumes 60% of the world's semiconductors, but only produces about 15%. In 2017, China spent $260 billion importing semiconductors - more than it spends on oil imports. China has committed up to $150 billion to build its domestic semiconductor in…

Praise be to Allaah.
Such as for example Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, Abu Ishaaq al-Jawzjaani and Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy that it is the womans duty to serve her husband within the bounds of what is reasonable and as other women who are like her serve husbands who are like him on them), who said. She also offers to deal with the home, doing such things as cooking and so forth, prior to what exactly is customary among individuals like her spouse. This varies according to circumstances, place and time, ergo Ibn Taymiyah stated: This differs based on circumstances. Exactly exactly just What the Bedouin spouse needs to do just isn't the identical to exactly exactly what the metropolitan wife has doing.
The data with this more proper viewpoint is:
the Hadeeth of al-Bukhaari:
Imaam al-Bukhaari narrated inside the Saheeh that Faatimah (may Allaah be pleased about her), the child associated with the Prophet (comfort and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked him for the servant. He stated, Shall we maybe not inform you of a thing that is way better for your needs than that? Whenever you go to sleep, state Subhaan-Allaah (Glory be to Allaah) thirty 3 times, Al-Hamdu Lillaah (praise be to Allaah) thirty 3 times, and Allaahu akbar (Allaah is Most Great) thirty four times.
(Saheeh al-Bukhaari bi Sharh al-Asqallaani, part 9/506).
Al-Tabari stated, in the commentary about this hadeeth: we might comprehend from this hadeeth that each and every girl who can care for her household by simply making bread, grinding flour and so forth, have to do therefore. It is really not the work for the spouse in case it is the customized for women like her to get this done on their own.
Everything we study from the hadeeth is whenever Faatimah (may Allaah be pleased about her) asked her dad (comfort and blessings of Allaah be upon him) for the servant, he would not command her spouse to locate her a servant or employ you to definitely do these tasks, or even to do these tasks himself. Upon him) would have commanded him to do them if it were Alis duty to do these things, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be.
The hadeeth of Asma bint Abi Bakr
Imaam al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy I got married to al-Zubayr, and he had no wealth on earth and no slaves, nothing except a camel for bringing water and his horse on him) reported in his Saheeh that Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with her) said. We utilized to feed their horse and bring water, and I also utilized to sew spots from the bucket. I made dough but I happened to be perhaps maybe not good at baking bread, so my (feminine) neighbors on the list of Ansaar used to bake bread they were sincere women for me, and. We utilized to carry date pits from al-Zubayrs land that the Messenger of Allaah (comfort and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had fond of him, carrying them on my mind. This land ended up being two-thirds of a farsakh away. One time we came, carrying the date pits back at my mind, and I also met the Messenger of Allaah (comfort and blessings of Allaah be upon him), that has a number of the Ansaar with him. He called me personally making their camel kneel down, behind him, but I felt too shy to go with the men, and I remembered al-Zubayr and his jealousy, for he was the most jealous of people for me to ride. The Messenger of Allaah (comfort and blessings of Allaah be upon him) discovered that I felt bashful, so he moved on. We found al-Zubayr and told him, We met the Messenger of Allaah (comfort and blessings of Allaah be upon him) whenever I had been holding date pits back at my mind, in which he had a small grouping of their companions with him. He made their camel kneel down in my situation to drive with him, but we remembered your envy. He stated, By Allaah, it bothers me personally more that you need certainly to carry the date pits than that you ought to drive with him. Asma stated: from then on, Abu Bakr sent me personally a servant to deal with the horse, and it also ended up being just as if I'd been liberated from slavery.
(Reported by al-Bukhaari, Fath, 9/319).
When you look at the commentary from the hadeeth of Asma, it claims: out of this incident we may realize that it's the womans duty to deal with precisely what her husband requires her to deal with. This is the viewpoint of Abu Thawr. Other fuqaha recommended that Asma did this voluntarily and therefore she had not been obliged to get it done.
Ibn Hajar al-Asqallaani said: it appears that this event Asma holding the date pitss to simply help her husband as well as other similar incidents had been the problem of requisite, specifically that her husband al-Zubayr as well as other Muslim males were preoccupied with jihaad along with other items that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be for them, and there was no one else who could do that apart from their womenfolk upon him) had commanded them to do, and they did not have time to take care of domestic matters themselves, and could not afford to hire servants to do that. And so the females utilized to manage the house and whoever https://ukrainianbrides.us/latin-brides/ latin brides for marriage lived with it, so the males could devote their time for you to supporting Islam.
He then said (may Allaah have mercy on him): what's much more most most most likely is that the situation revolved around the traditions for the reason that land, for traditions can vary greatly in this respect.
It appears that just just what Ibn Hajar stated is near to the view of the whom state that the spouse has got to manage her spouse as well as the true house relative to the dictates of neighborhood customized.
Ibn al-Qayyim said, in regards to the tale of Asma: if the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be that she did not have to serve him, or that this was unfair to her upon him) saw Asma with the date pits on her head, and her husband al-Zubayr was with her, he did not tell him. He authorized of her serving him and of all of the females among the list of Sahaabah assisting their husbands. This can be a matter concerning which there isn't any question.
The hadeeth of Jaabir
The Shaykh regarding the Muhadditheen, Imaam al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) reported in their Saheeh that Jaabir ibn Abd-Allaah said: my dad left and died seven daughters, or nine daughters. We married a lady who was simply previously hitched, therefore the Messenger of Allaah (comfort and blessings of Allaah be upon him) thought to me personally, Did you get hitched, O Jaabir? We stated, Yes. He asked, A virgin or a woman that is previously-married? I stated, A previously-married girl. He stated, you will want to a young girl so you could play and joke with each other? We stated, Abd-Allaah the dad of Jaabir has died and put aside daughters, and I wouldn't normally love to bring them an individual who is like them, thus I got hitched to a female who are able to care for them. He stated, May Allaah bless you or Fair sufficient.

Places That Offer The Best Views Of The SkyShare
Looking up and seeing the sky lit up with stars is something that many city dwellers are not used to. In order to get a great view of the cosmos, it is necessary to travel to a place with a clear sky that is free from light pollution. Stargazing is the focus of many astronomically minded travelers across the US. Luckily there are plenty of places to stay in the US that offer stunning views of the heavens. Here are three places that travelers should check out.
The Florida Keys
Situated at the bottom of the Florida Peninsula, the Florida Keys are known for their beautiful beaches and happening hot spots. There is also some top notch stargazing available in the keys as well. The Florida Keys experience nice weather year round, making it an ideal spot to be outdoors even at night. Big Pine Key is especially known for its view of the sky and attracts visitors from all around the country. Since the Florida Keys are a hot vacation spot, hotels and other places to stay can be very pricey. Big Pine Key and the Lower Keys are known for being less expensive than Key West. There are also campgrounds and RV parks available which can save travelers money and allow them full views of the sky.
West Texas
West Texas offers some of the best star viewing in the country. The western half of Texas offers little light pollution and some amazing scenic views. It's also home to McDonald Observatory, just outside of Fort Davis. A visit there is a must for anyone interested in viewing the night sky. There are plenty of places to stay in nearby Fort Davis ranging from campgrounds to traditional hotels. A trip to this area offers not only great views of the stars but a wonderful opportunity to learn more about it at the McDonald Observatory.
For those looking for outdoor adventure and spectacular views of the stars, it doesn't get much better than Hawaii. At 4,200 meters high, the summit that houses the Mauna Kea Observatory offers amazing views due to it's distance from big cities and the height of the summit. There are plenty of accommodations near the observatory that offer the best of what Hawaii has to offer. For stargazers who want a tropical vacation combined with an amazing look at the heavens, a trip to Mauna Kea is a must.
Stargazing is something that can be done across the US. The Florida Keys, West Texas, and the tropical paradise of Hawaii are musts on any serious stargazer's list. For more information on accommodations for your next trip, check out a place like The Baker House 1650.

Gay Lesbian Friendly Inn B&B and Restaurant,
Longhope, Gloucestershire
The Farmers Boy Forest of Dean Restaurant of the Year 2016, Gay Friendly Bed and Breakfast Inn, Ross Road, Longhope, Gloucestershire
We were made up to chance upon the Farmers Boy Inn at Longhope one lunchtime in October, all four of us being in desperate need of a "livener" and something to eat following the hectic party we had attended the previous evening in Cheltenham. Justin who doesn't drink alcohol was our driver as usual. We were greeted with a crackling log fire and a friendly welcome from Phil (who we later found out owns and runs The Farmers Boy aided by his energetic and friendly young team of staff) who served us our drinks and took our food order. The menu is a treat with good old English favourites together with a comprehensive and an imaginative selection on the á la carte menu. We all chose their famous 2 in 1 Pie (half steak & Guinness and half cauliflower cheese) which was simply to die for. After our meal and a few more drinks we asked Phil if the Farmers Boy provided accommodation and without any hesitation we were shown their guest bedrooms which are located in a newly built annexe behind the inn. The bedrooms are all en-suite, beautifully presented and well equipped. It was nearly 5pm when we reluctantly had to leave this fabulously friendly and beautiful inn. There is something more here than the exposed beams, log fires, exceptionally good food and superb accommodation: it is quite simply the wonderful friendly greeting, atmosphere and the gentle Irish humour from a very special landlord called Phil and his amazing friendly team of staff. The only downside here at The Farmers Boy was dragging ourselves away for our return journey to Wales and work. dragging ourselves away for our return journey to Wales and work. The Farmers Boy has been voted The Forest of Dean Pub of the Year for 2012 and 2013 and has also been featured on Channel 4's Four in a Bed. Phil: what a fabulous inn you have and your pies are scrummy!

Okay, so where should I start with this soup?
Let's start with the name, which is pronounced Ahv-go-leh-MAN-o.
I think.
It's Greek, and I am Irish-American, and so I am on shaky ground here. I've now written the recipe, tested the recipe, photographed the recipe, eaten the recipe, and I am STILL asking the Southern husband how to both pronounce and spell it.
So next I should tell you that I posted on my Facebook page that I would be making this soup for dinner, and I got a whole string of comments in response. Which were pretty evenly divided between people who (based on the word avgolemeno) had NO idea what I was cooking in my kitchen these days, and people who knew exactly what it was and left all kinds helpful advice about combining eggs with hot broth. I was direly warned that because the base of this recipe is a mixture of chicken broth, lemon juice and beaten eggs, if I was not both EXTREMELY CAREFUL and EXTREMELY LUCKY, I could mess the whole thing up by adding the beaten eggs to the hot broth and the whole thing will curdle and the world as we know it will come to an end.
I was actually worried for a few minutes, and then I remembered this happy fact: recipes are pretty much all about Following The Directions, and if you do this, you will almost always end up with something that looks like it is supposed to look. Which is what I did, and which is exactly what I ended up with. So do not, I repeat do NOT be afraid.
Lastly and most importantly: this soup is SO amazingly easy and delicious that you (if you are me) will have one of those moments where you smack yourself on the forehead and wonder how you have managed to live all these years without knowing about it and making it and eating it at every possible opportunity. The soup is as healthy as you can get – the ingredients are pretty much chicken broth, a few eggs, lemon juice, chicken, shredded carrots, a handful of orzo pasta and some herbs – but because of how it is put together, it comes out in this rich, creamy format that feels positively sinful. If you didn't know better, you would swear that there was a boatload of heavy cream lurking in this one…but there isn't! Not a drop! That in and of itself makes this worth a try. So go ahead – avgolemono!
Avgolemono Soup with Chicken and Orzo
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Category: Dinner
- Method: Stovetop
- Cuisine: Greek
- 6 cups chicken broth (I like the boxed Imagine and Pacific brands)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 cup uncooked orzo
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 8 ounces cooked chicken breast, shredded into bite-sized pieces
- Bring broth and dill to a boil in large saucepan and add orzo. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and remove one cup of broth from the pot (without any orzo in it.) Let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Put eggs and juice in blender and process until smooth and frothy. With blender on, slowly pour the one cup of cooled broth that you removed from the pot into the blender and process until smooth. This is to thin out the eggs a little more so they will blend in to the soup obediently later on.
- Add carrot, salt, pepper and chicken to the broth and orzo in the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until orzo is tender. Reduce heat to low.
- Slowly pour in egg mixture, stirring constantly, until soup is heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Do not let it boil or you may get the dreaded curdling. If you do, remind yourself that it is still going to taste just fine.
- Ladle into bowls and serve at once.

Time Out says
A Young's pub in Islington with an enormous beer garden.
Canonbury remains a sliver of Georgian good taste between the madness of Upper Street and the dirtiness of Dalston. Few of us will ever get to live here.
Yet George Orwell dwelt in the neighbourhood when it was more down at heel, and made the local Compton Arms famous by using it as a model for an idealised London pub (the Moon Under Water) in a famous essay of 1946.
Just round the corner is the Canonbury Tavern, recently reopened by Young's. You know what to expect of a Young's pub. They're often in locations where you're pleased to find a grand pub, and usually decorated in inoffensive greys. Here they serve pub grub and, in the dining room, more ambitious dishes.
If you're used to Kernel and Weird Beard, you may find Young's beer timid by comparison. The Canonbury also sells a couple from Camden Town brewery.
And it has other draws. It's huge, a series of elegant rectilinear rooms, and the rear garden is equally enormous. Orwell might not have considered the Canonbury his perfect pub, but it's a solid success.

Amazing size beer garden perfect for the hot summer days. The put also has plenty of inside space as well for those not so nice days. The food is also worth a try.
Absolutely terrible experience at the canonbury this Saturday lunch time. When you go to the bar and ask for a menu you get handed two, quite good looking menus. One of which says you can order at the bar. When you try and order at the bar you get told it's not possible and sent outside to order from the station in the garden. When you have queued for this station you get told you can't order the restaurant food outside, unless you have a restaurant table outside (of which there are 4) these tables were all full but we got one right next to them (2 metres max) yet we still can't order the 'restaurant menu' as they can't carry it an extra 2 metres.
The chef that was in control on the outside grill pass was just having a go at the poor girl in control of the till in front of the whole queue to order food. Very unprofessional and putting a member of staff who clearly is doing the best she can under more pressure.
The restaurant has been completely empty inside the whole afternoon so they have been serving just 4 tables outside with the full restaurant menu... Everyone else has to eat from the grill menu which is limited to 5 items, no starter and no deserts. there are at least 200 seats outside and I think this is pretty unacceptable.
After two hours of waiting outside, hoping to bag a table we can eat the full menu from, my girlfriend gets told they can't make any accommodations for anyone at the moment.
30 minutes later we go back to ask again and they inform us the kitchen is now shut until 6pm.
Absolute shambles from a lovely pub with an amazing beer garden. Such a shame. They should have opened a few weeks later and got there procedures in place.
Not a happy customer.

From Exhibitionists to Exhibition Stands in under 24 Hours.
September 21, 2017
What a crazy week! The diversity of our work never ceases to amaze. The call came in to be part of the team live streaming runway shows at London Fashion Week which was a fantastic buzz. The photographers "pit" is such a squeeze but luckily being "House Video" means everyone else has to fit in around you (even Vogue) and you also get to bark at people to get out of your way (something I am slowly getting used to). I have worked on fashion shows for many years and I always love it. The amazing characters you get to see and meet is out of this world!
Amongst all this chaos we get asked if we can photograph exhibition stands at an event in Manchester! Cue a 4:00am alarm call several cups of coffee and over 400 miles of driving and we deliver on brief, in budget and on time (in under 24hrs) phew.
Different types of work have very different challenges and require different skill sets and we pride ourselves in the experience and breadth of talent and knowledge our team has to offer. If you have a creative need I guarantee we have the team to make it happen.

You can increase your productivity by using the many faceted services offered by professional registered agents. These include, but are not limited to, accessing your accounts and documents online, as well as filing state required annual documentation of LLCs and corporations.
In order to be eligible for trademark protection, a word or phrase must be "distinctive" — unique enough to help customers recognize a particular product in the marketplace — rather than generic, like "The Coffee House." A mark may either be inherently distinctive (the mark is unusual in and of itself, such as Diesel fashions) or may become distinctive over time because customers come to associate the mark with the product or service (for example, McDonald's restaurants).
The choice between registering a trademark and a copyright is not always a clear one. Trademark and copyright registration are both means of protecting your intellectual property rights. There are, however, important differences between trademark and copyright protection.
Copyrights are a form of protection for the authors of "original works of authorship," including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other creative works.
Copyright does not cover intellectual property such as titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; or mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring. This type of intangible property is often more appropriately protected by a trademark. Think of memorable advertising slogans you have heard. Chances are these slogans are protected by a trademark of some sort, while they are unlikely to qualify for copyright protection.
A trademark protects a word, phrase, symbol or design (or a combination of these), that identifies and distinguishes the goods or services of one person or company from those of others.
Some things, such as more complex logos, may qualify for both trademark and copyright protection. This is because the amount of original authorship in a logo can vary greatly. Most highly recognizable logos are extremely simple objects, such as the Nike "swoosh," and would not qualify for copyright protection. However, a more ornate logo with a great deal of creative authorship might qualify for both trademark and copyright protection.
To protect the name of your company, your newly designed name, logo or a catchphrase, a trademark is probably what you need. To protect your latest painting, the next great American novel or even a brilliantly choreographed dance sequence, a copyright is probably the best route for you.
Trademarks are important business tools because they allow companies to establish their products reputation without having to worry that an inferior product will diminish their reputation or profit by deceiving the consumer. A company name or logo can become a company's most valuable asset. Registering a trademark provides constructive notice nationwide of the trademark owner's claim and prevents others from adopting your name or design. A trademark registration can also be used as a basis for obtaining registration in foreign countries. Your trademark registration may be filed with the US. Customs Service to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods.
Once the United States Patent and Trademark office approves your registration, you can use ®.
Many people assume they can protect their trademark simply by using the mark in commerce. It is true that you are not required to register a trademark to achieve some level of protection and that one establishes common law rights simply by using a mark in commerce.
However, having a federally registered trademark on the USPTO's principal register provides several advantages:
Not formally. Certain countries, however, do recognize a US. registration as a basis for registering the trademark in those countries. Many countries maintain a register of trademarks
and some will act to protect the holders of US. trademarks from activity that occurs abroad which would, if transacted in the US., infringe upon the owner's trademark.
Furthermore, a suit in US. Federal Court can be brought by a US. trademark owner against another US. citizen for exportation of goods wholly for sale abroad that would confuse foreign consumers as to whether the goods were those of the trademark owner.
Finally, the holders of "famous" trademarks may be able to block foreign registration of confusing (same or similar) trademarks abroad (e.g., someone other than Disney registering Mickey Mouse in Iran). Each country's laws about registration should be consulted.
It is hard to predict how long it will take for an application to mature into a registration since many factors can affect the process. Generally, an applicant will receive a filing receipt almost instantly after filing. In addition, you should receive an initial response from the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) within approximately three months of filing the application.
However, the total application processing time may be anywhere from 6 months to a year, or even longer. Most applications are processed completely in slightly less than one year. Overall processing time depends on your basis for filing and any legal issues that arise in the examination process.
For a trademark registration to remain valid, a Declaration of Use must be filed: (1) between the fifth and sixth year following registration and (2) within the year before the end of every 10-year period after the date of registration.
Assuming that a Declaration of Use is timely filed, registrations granted PRIOR to November 16, 1989 have a 20-year term. Registrations granted on or after November 16, 1989 have a 10-year term. Trademarks can be renewed for additional 10-year terms. There is no limit to the number of times a trademark can be renewed, as long as use of the mark by its owner continues.
Yes. All trademarks can be sold or assigned. The "goodwill" of any business associated with that trademark must be included in any such transfer. Even trademarks that are unregistered or are the subject of pending applications can be sold or assigned. Written assignments of registered trademarks are recommended, and may be recorded with the USPTO for a fee.
When you file a trademark application, your proposed trademark will go through two main types of review. First, the USPTO will review your application to determine whether or not you have met the minimum filing requirements. Next, the application is forwarded to an examining attorney. (Note: this transition can take several months.)
The examining attorney will then review the application to determine whether it complies with all applicable rules and statutes and includes all required fees. A complete examination includes a search for conflicting trademarks (both registered and pending) as well as a review of the written application, drawing and any specimen. If the examining attorney decides, based on your application, that your trademark should not be registered, he or she will send you a letter, called an Office Action. This letter explains the reasons for the refusal and any technical or procedural problems with your application. Most often, you will have a chance to cure any deficiency in your application, other than a conflict with another trademark.
If minor corrections are all that is required for filing the trademark, the examining attorney may contact you by phone or email. If the examining attorney sends a written Office Action, you have six months from that letter's mailing date to respond with corrections or the application will be declared abandoned.
If your response to an Office Action does not overcome all of the examining attorney's objections, the examining attorney will issue a final refusal. To attempt to overcome a final refusal, you can appeal to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) for an additional fee. This board is an administrative tribunal within the USPTO.
Once your trademark application passes the examining attorney's review, your mark will be published in the Official Gazette. This gives the public an opportunity to object to the mark if they believe they will be damaged by that registration. If no objections are filed within 30 days of publication, the mark will typically be registered in 3-12 months. At that point, you are an official holder of a federally registered US. trademark.
Yes. The examining attorney will search the USPTO records to see if a conflict exists between the trademark in your application and another trademark that is live and registered with or pending with the USPTO. In doing this, he or she will also look for other trademarks that might be confused with yours. The USPTO does not provide preliminary searches for conflicting trademarks before an application is filed.
The principal factors the USPTO examining attorney uses to determine if there would be a chance of confusion include:
If a conflict exists between your proposed trademark and a registered trademark, the examining attorney will refuse registration on the ground of likelihood of confusion. If a conflict exists between your trademark and one in a pending application that was filed first, the examining attorney will notify you of the potential conflict and may suspend action on your application, pending the outcome of the conflicting application. If the first application registers, the examining attorney will then refuse your registration on the ground of likelihood of confusion.
In addition to likelihood of confusion (discussed above), an examining attorney will refuse registration if the trademark is:
– Merely descriptive or deceptively mis-descriptive of the goods/services
– Primarily geographically descriptive or geographically deceptive
– Mostly a surname
– Solely Ornamental
Registration of your company name as a trademark is the same for USPTO purposes as all other trademark registrations.
However, before you register your company name, you want to determine if your company name is already in use in your state. Your state will generally not let you use a name that is too similar to an already registered business. For this reason, whenever you consider registering your company name as a trademark, you want to research your state's database for registered corporations, LLCs and partnerships with similar names.
A service mark is simply a type of trademark. In fact, the words "trademark" and "mark" often refer to both trademarks and service marks. Trademarks help the government and consumers distinguish manufacturers of goods or products from one another. A service mark helps the government and consumers distinguish service providers from one another. Common law service marks are accompanied by SM as opposed to the TM of common law trademarks. Both goods and services with federally registered trademarks use an ® symbol.
When setting up and maintaining a business, a business owner will need to accomplish many tasks, many of which involve filings with the state or states in which he or she wishes to do or is doing business. These filings include things like registering your business name, setting up a d/b/a, getting an EIN, etc. It is important that business owners understand that NONE of these things give them ANY trademark rights, and especially not federal trademark rights. ONLY use of a trademark to sell or advertise goods or services affords a business trademark rights, and ONLY federal trademark registration carries the benefits of federal trademark registration.
On the flip side, simply registering your trademark with the USPTO does not necessarily mean that someone has not already registered to do business under such a name with a state, since the USPTO does not search state business filings when determining whether your trademark is registrable. The USPTO also does not search to see whether someone else may already be using the name you are seeking to register as a trademark.

Jenna Jameson Gets Back in Shape With Keto Diet and is Now Sharing These Tips to Help You Too!
Apparently, there are many reasons to start a Keto diet, even though many people advise on the contrary and propose a balanced approach which does not completely eliminate carbohydrates. For Jenna Jameson, this diet has worked wonders for her especially when it comes to losing weight, even though she has just been following it for a little more than one year.
For Jameson, the decision to switch to a keto diet stemmed from her need to lose all those extra pounds she had gained after giving birth to Batel Lu, her daughter, back in April of 2017. And so far her decision has proved to be a very good one considering she has lost almost 80 pounds.
Even though Jameson is 45 years of age, at which point it becomes very difficult for women to lose so much weight, a keto diet has helped her do just that, and now she is a vocal advocate of it and even has some advice for all those thinking about choosing it for their own weight loss journeys.
What You Need To Do
The first step you need to take is to start fresh and take out all those foods from your pantry as well as the refrigerator which contain too many carbs and sugars. Then, you need to make a trip to the grocery store and, according to Jameson, you simply need to avoid going into the aisles because usually there is nothing keto-friendly available over there.
The products which you want are mostly available at the periphery of the store, including products like eggs, vegetables, steaks which have been grass-fed, and salmon caught in the wild. And yes, Jameson also recommends that you consume adequate butter in your diet as well.
But a very important factor that would help you follow a keto diet is the support of all those who share your space with you, which is most likely to be your family.
If they are following a different diet compared to yours, there is a high probability that you too would be tempted to go astray and consume one or two products that are not keto-friendly, an action that can seriously jeopardize the impact of the diet. In Jameson's case, she would make brown rice on the side for her toddler.
It's All About The Attitude
A keto diet definitely requires you to make a lot of sacrifices. You won't be able to eat many of the foods that you have loved your entire life. And that is why it's extremely important that you consider the impact this diet would have on your lifestyle and accept the changes wholeheartedly.
According to Jameson, you should be very proud of making the decision of conforming to a keto lifestyle and take this as a lifetime decision rather than just a resolution you make for a couple of months.
Also, Jameson recommends following accounts on social media which promote keto diets, as that can help you develop the mindset required to stick with the diet in the longer run.

how to make e juice without vg or pg
Whoever came up with the old stating, "If you want something done right, then do it yourself," would most likely be thrilled to hear about the innovation of DIY vape juice. The initial thought behind the stating summarize one of the greatest advantages to creating your own custom-made e-liquid mix.

Crafting a custom juice recipe is an enjoyable method to work out that imagination muscle in a really out-of-the box way. Some individuals bake, some people write, and some individuals mix it up with e-juice. At VaporFi, their online vape juice contractor makes it extremely easy to be a specialist mixologist. Rather of dealing with the unpleasant blending procedure at home or trying to find DIY vape juice supplies and flavor extracts to blend at home, VaporFi allows you to produce your own e-liquid with simply a couple of simple clicks.
Initially, you'll select if you want one, two, or three tastes in your custom-made blend. Then, you can check out the taste families, selecting from fruity, dessert, minty, or standard tobacco tastes. Once you've selected your flavors, you'll likewise have the capability to adjust your PG/VG ratio and the nicotine level in your juice. And that's it– it's truly that easy.

Perhaps you'll integrate vanilla, banana, and chocolate for an ice cream sundae-inspired mix, or our apple juice with a "scoop" of ice cream for apple pie a la mode. Or, for something a bit more traditional, set classic tobacco flavor with fresh mint. Blend the flavors similar to you would in the kitchen area, and you're likely to produce something delicious.
how to make e juice without vg or pg
Attempt a few, totally different, combinations. Mix up your blends and try a minimum of one juice that's absolutely out of package. If you're typically a traditionalist that sticks to easy tastes, don't be afraid to throw in something entirely various, like a fruity blend that's influenced by a summer season cocktail. Don't restrict yourself to the "same old" flavors, since this is your chance to truly change it up.
Get concepts from the vaping community. Among the very best parts of vaping is the big neighborhood of vapers that is all too delighted to share suggestions and concepts. If you're finding yourself stuck with a psychological taste block, do a little digging in some vaping forums and see what other people have tried and liked.

Which state is home to consumers with the biggest and best diamonds (and no, the answer is not Texas)? What's the popular most diamond shape in Alabama? California? Alaska?
These are some of the questions White Pine aimed to answer with a recently released report on diamond jewelry ownership in the United States.
Matthew Howe, the company's vice president of marketing, said White Pine has opted to begin sharing some of that data with the industry, and so it has published this first report, America's Diamond and Jewelry Ranking.
The report is based on 15,000 consumer inquiries and interactions but, Howe pointed out, it is not a ranking of what's selling at retail right now. It's an ownership study, looking at what people already have and where they live.
There's much to examine in the report and I had a hard time deciding where to begin but, in the interest of getting out of the office before 7 p.m. for once, I decided to go with diamond shape.
What the report shows about the most popular diamond shapes in the U.S. is not unexpected in the least, with round and princess-cut diamonds comprising the majority of the market.
What Howe said he did find surprising was that cushion-, emerald- and marquise-cut diamonds were all in the same ballpark in terms of ownership. A total of 4.8 percent of consumers included in the study owned a marquise, while 4.47 percent owned an emerald-cut diamond and 4.12 percent had a cushion; they were the three most commonly owned cuts after rounds and princesses.
The White Report also noted that since the launch of WPDiamonds.com in 2012, oval-shaped diamonds, which, as I understand it, are gaining ground in the market along with marquises and pears, have increased in popularity. They've gone from being the eighth most popular diamond cut in the country to the sixth in that three-year span. (And both ovals and pears are apparently very popular in Texas.)
From shape, we can move on to size, meaning, what states have the biggest and best diamonds (two distinctly different categories in the White Pine study).
For me, there were absolutely no surprises when it came to the top five states for diamond quality: New York, Florida (home to many now-retired former New Yorkers), California, Connecticut (home to many people who have high-paying jobs in New York City) and Maryland.
Howe pointed out that Arizona and North Carolina, which, like Florida, are big retirement states for people with the means to do so, also ranked fairly high on the diamond quality scale, coming in at Nos. 15 and 17, respectively.
In addition to having some of the country's highest-quality diamonds, Maryland and New York made it into the top five for average diamond size, which was analyzed by looking at loose stones, rings and diamonds set into jewelry but using only the largest diamond per piece for the data.
Maryland actually came in first with an average carat size of 1.75, followed by Michigan (1.69), Illinois (1.59), Alaska (1.49) and New York (1.47 carats).
The state with the smallest average diamonds was Vermont, at 1.03 carats.

Credit the British Navy
The British Army has been credited with the spread of hockey throughout the world, but in Australia's case, the British Navy deserves the honours. In the late 1800s, Australia did not have a naval fleet of its own and relied upon the Royal Navy for the security of the coastline. The British Naval officers stationed in Australia taught the locals the game of hockey and laid the foundations for a sport which Australians have developed and mastered.
The first State Hockey Associations
Records do not show where or when the first game of hockey was played in Australia, however private girls' schools were playing the game in 1900. It has been suggested that as South Australia was the first state to form an association, the first game took place there.
The South Australian Hockey Association was formed in 1903 while Victoria and New South Wales formed their own associations in 1906. Clubs sprang up in Melbourne and Sydney and hockey rapidly became an established sport in Australia.Hockey was played in Western Australia as early as 1902 but the West Australian Hockey Association was not formed until 1908. Queensland was a late starter, not forming a governing body until the late 1920s.
History of the Australian Women's Hockey Association (AWHA)
On July 2, 1910, the Australian Women's Hockey Association formed and affiliated with the All England Women's Hockey Association. From a handful of clubs, hockey spread rapidly throughout the nation with the sport growing so that every state was able to provide the opportunity for women of all ages to participate in the game through a comprehensive club system; from social to elite level.
The first All Australian women's hockey team was selected in 1914 to play England in Australia, with the inaugural overseas tour taking place in 1930.
The Association became a foundation member of the International Federation of Women's Hockey in 1927. Guiding the growth and popularity of the game, AWHA developed into a diverse and highly successful professional organisation.
In 1984 the Australian Women's Hockey Association established its headquarters in Sydney and in the same year the hockey unit at the Australian Institute of Sport in Perth opened.
The following decade and a half saw the Australian women's hockey team produce the most outstanding record of achievement in its proud history; three Olympic gold medals (1988, 1996, 2000), two World Cup gold medals (1994, 1998), five consecutive Champions Trophies (1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999) and its first Commonwealth Games gold medal (1998).
In 2000, the Australian Women's Hockey Association merged with the Australian Hockey Association (its men's equivalent) to create what is known today as Hockey Australia, the recognised national association for all hockey in Australia.
History of the Australian Hockey Association (AHA)
The need for an Australian Hockey Association for men was identified as early as 1912, but it did not come into being until 1925. The first sitting of the AHA Council took place in Sydney on 8 May, 1925, at which Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria were represented.
The first Annual General Meeting of the Australian Hockey Association was held on 29 June, 1925. The minutes of that meeting noted that there were 54 teams playing hockey in Australia in 1925. New South Wales had the largest hockey playing community with 18 teams, Victoria 17, Queensland 15 and South Australia four.
Australia became a member of the International Hockey Federation (FIH) in the same year. As the number of Australians playing hockey grew, so too did the Australian Hockey Association. The founding members of NSW, Victoria, and Queensland were joined by South Australia later in 1925, WA in 1927, Tasmania in 1934, the ACT in 1972, and the NT in 1979 (full member).
The Australian Men's Hockey team is recorded as playing its first international game against New Zealand in 1922. New Zealand provided the only source of international competition until 1935 when the world-leading Indian team visited Australia for the first time. The Australian team was severely outclassed by the powerful Indian team (12-1), which went on to win the Olympic gold medal in Berlin.
In order to become a more competitive force in international hockey, Australia decided to change and adopt elements of the Indian game, and develop a uniquely Australian version of hockey. This style has continued to evolve over time. The AIS Hockey Unit, established in Perth in 1984, was also a significant factor in the game's development and innovation, particularly at the elite level, contributing to the stunning record of its men's teams.
The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Hockey Unit
The AIS Hockey Unit was established in Perth in 1984 – the first AIS sport established away from Canberra – and for 20 years it made a significant contribution to the development of Australian teams with separate men's and women's programs. In 2014, it became the Hockey Australia High Performance Unit.
Many of the 16 inaugural scholarship holders in the men's program represented Australia at either senior or junior level in the first year. Initially, the training emphasis was on improving speed, mobility and specific skills, but from 1985 onward, sports physiology, psychology and physiotherapy became important aspects of the program.
The program also provided visiting scholarships, which helped talented young players and senior players in need of intensive pre-competition training. Both the men's and women's programs gave high priority to overseas tours as an important part of player development.
In 1986, the AIS, in conjunction with the (men's) Australian Hockey Association, established a Satellite Coaching Scheme to promote talent identification. In 1990, Intensive Training Centre coaches were appointed in each capital city. Since then the men's program has focused on both national squad players and a development squad of prospective Australian players.
The women's program also began with 16 scholarships and initially emphasised individual training programs for players.
As early as 1986 the program included a variety of sport science tests. With the cooperation of the Australian Women's Hockey Association, a Satellite Coaching Scheme was started in 1986, and Intensive Training Centre coaches were appointed in each capital city in 1990.
Since then the women's program has focused on developing the senior national squad, as well as younger prospective Australian players.
In 2014, a decision was made by the Australian Institute of Sport that it would move away from the delivery of sports programs to become Australia's strategic high performance sport agency, responsible and accountable for leading the delivery of Australia's international sporting success.
Hockey Australia assumed full responsibility for its High Performance Unit in Perth from the AIS which incorporates both the men's and women's hockey programs, inclusive of national squads, HA scholarship holders and is "home" to the Kookaburras and the Hockeyroos.
The re-branded Hockey Australia High Performance Program is now fully responsible for supporting 60+ athletes, and employs a combination of 20 full-time and part-time staff, including coaches, sports science, personal excellence and administration staff as well as a number of contractors. Hockey Australia also assumed financial responsibility for all existing infrastructure including IT, telephones, capital and training equipment, all previously provided by the AIS.
