The tabloid. Her skin. Without a cover. The journalism. Of eager hearts. There is no winner. Just the two evils. Lesser not an option.
I tried to warn him. The world was forgetting. Brilliant men. It seemed insincere. Since I didn't really believe he was one of them. But he heard me still the same. The aardvark in its burrow. The ant in its colony. As if bruises were enough. To recall. The fervor of their grip.
Dead men in their pale fountain. The pennies scrape the bottom. For unfulfilled wishes. The world wants to save itself. No one else in particular.
How are we to know the difference.
Between assassins and saviors. When no one will teach us?


Delivering the Milk, 9 October, 1940.
As photography had become part of people's daily lives during the inter-war period, numerous iconic images were taken of the Second World War, creating an album of hope and horror, of atrocities and valor.
The one that perhaps represented the fighting spirit of well-mannered Great Britain most clearly was the famous picture taken by a photographer called Fred Morley on 9 October, 1940, depicting a milkman going about with his daily business amidst the rubble in London, after a street had been devastated during a German bombing raid.
Firemen are dampening down the ruins behind him.
The raid that took place that night was the 32nd in a row, the United Kingdom being mercilessly bombed night after night.

Shrewsbury Town's Julien Dacosta making good progress after surgery
By Ollie WestburyShrewsbury Town FCPublished: Dec 8, 2022 Last Updated: Dec 9, 2022 Comments
Steve Cotterill has revealed that Julien Dacosta is in a 'very good place' as the wing-back recovers from surgery.
Julien Dacosta of Shrewsbury Town. Image, AMA.
The 26-year-old has barely featured for Town since August due to an ongoing problem with his hip flexor – where he had a small tear.
He did come on in the 89th minute during Salop's 2-0 loss at Cheltenham back in October – but after that, he suffered a setback which has not seen him feature since.
But last week he went down to see a specialist in London, and following surgery, the Town boss says he is recovering well.
He said: "Julien had an operation, and he seems, at this moment in time, in a very good place.
"I have seen the photographs from the operation, what they have done – not that I can understand them – but they have highlighted something in there that I have seen.
"That has hopefully been corrected, and we have just got to get him through rehab now and get him fit and then fitter."
The boss also provided an update on the fitness of Aiden O'Brien, who is yet to start a league game for Shrewsbury since his arrival in the summer, due to a groin problem.
He did have surgery earlier in the year and three injections but it does not appear to have rectified the problem.
O'Brien got through 90 minutes in Town's EFL Trophy game against Stockport also in October but has not featured since.
And Cotterill said the forward has had two injections this week and they are waiting to see how he reacts to them.
"Aiden is slightly more problematic because he didn't have an operation," the boss continued.
"He went to see the guy that did his original operation. The guy he had three injections with.
"Those injections were Saline injections to create a gap between the muscle and the fascia – we didn't know if that was causing friction if that was the pain.
"Those injections didn't work. But he went down on Tuesday, he's had two more injections. One is an Ostenil injection, the other was a steroid injection.
"At this moment in time, but it's very early, he can't do anything for five days other than upper body in the gym. But he has felt better from that. I can't really give you anything more on that one at this moment in time."

caitlin + chad. playa hermosa, costa rica day after session.
Day After sessions are my favorite because it is not only a relaxed time for portraits, but the emotions of just being married are still really fresh. I had a really fun afternoon hanging out with Caitlin and Chad at Hermosa Palms, shooting pictures and drinking beer.


Get Inspired by Oriza – Oh My Treat!
"Hii…I'm Oriza Yandra. I'm 25 years old. I'm from Jakarta, Indonesia. I graduated from UI in 2015, majored in Russian studies.
"For me self-care is how you treat yourself better. For example, I treat myself better when I do something fun, like jogging every morning, playing games after work, chatting with friends when we have spare time, and taking a nap when I have days off. Taking a nap is precious for me because I usually don't have time to take a nap.
Also, self-care includes how and what I eat. I don't eat too much, I try to eat on-time and take fruit and vegetables every day. I avoid junk food as much as I can. Although sometimes I can't resist the temptation because it's so yummy, hahahah. I'm trying though.

Sometimes leadership can seem so complicated and complex. Decisions, strategy meetings, administration, and conflict can make a leader feel overwhelmed and ineffective. But, leadership is rather simple. When leadership seems complicated, it usually means it is simply hard. When these times come, go back to Kindergarten. Some of the basics of leadership were learned in kindergarten. Simple principles, when applied to everyday leadership, can make a huge difference.
Good leaders don't just tell us what to do. They also show us. Great leaders lead by example. Be present and show what what you want and how to get there.
I call this closing the loop. An active team will always be moving from one project or event to another, quite possibly overlapping the ending of one and beginning of the other. Processes and systems are crucial for this to run smooth. The facility, resources, and people used in one event will most likely be used for the next event or project. Having processes and systems in place to "put your stuff away" and close the loop will make the transition of the facility and resources work.
Good leaders communicate with stories that convey information. Relate a word picture or parable that conveys a point. Creativity is a key factor in communicating the needed information. This post is an example of a word picture. A simple reminder of a childhood experience to convey the simplicity and basics of leadership.
Good Leaders know how to disengage and rest. There needs to be an unplug time consistently throughout the week.
Schedule a day off each week to recharge and rejuvenate.
This will increase creativity, longevity, and patience in your leadership.
Good leaders bring teams together around projects and events. To keep the team together there needs to be a "class project". Something you can bring the entire team around. Each team member has his or her own responsibility or area of leadership for the project. It provides opportunities for the team to work together and celebrate each other together. In the end the entire team gets the credit.
Question: What are some other leadership lessons you learned in Kindergarten?


This unique book was made for the education and practice of writing an research article. It has many useful resources that can be used for critical analysis of sample articles and preparing their own manuscript.
Here some pages useful for the beginners attache below.


In honour and remembrance of that, some would devote time to complete reading and understanding the Quran during Ramadhan. There are many other ways to complete reading the Quran during Ramadhan. Do what works for you. Below is my sharing on how to complete reading the Quran within 21 days.
Other than Tarawih, reading the Quran during Ramadhan is good. There are 30 juz with 6236 verses (ayat) in the Quran. In 21 days, you need to read in average 300 verses, and allocate 4-5 hours a day, should you want to complete the Quran. This is assuming it takes 1 min to read a verse. Many can read a verse in less than 30 seconds.
1. How can you find 4-5 hours/day?
2. What are the mediums to read the Quran?
I use multiple mediums to cross reference.
More verses are planned out the first few days and the number is reduced towards day 21. This is because many women tend to be busy towards the end of Ramadhan, plus women get a few days time off in a month.
May Allah accept our deeds, soften our hearts and grant us forgiveness. Have a bless Ramadhan!


What Does What Water Remember?

Could Orthodox Science Be All Wet About Homeopathy & 'Structured' Water?
What if the element that keeps us alive could also perform wonders that few of its protectors know about? What if water is sensitive to everything it touches, and stores inside itself a record of the substances encountered on its journey?
It has long been believed (and still is!) by Egyptologists that the ancient Egyptians did not know the zodiac and that it--the so-called Greco-Babylonian zodiac--was brought into Egypt sometime in the third or fourth century BCE, probably by the Greeks. This may indeed be so for the Babylonian zodiac, but it does not necessarily follow that the ancient Egyptians did not have a zodiac of their own or did not identify certain constellations along the zodiacal belt that were important to them.
Pataliputra was a city in ancient India, originally built by Magadha ruler Ajatashatru in 490 BCE as a small fort near the Ganges river. The city reached the pinnacle of prosperity when it became the capital of the great Mauryan emperors, Chandragupta Maurya and Asoka the Great.
Holy men and women of the Christian Churches often surprise their faithful long after death. Their bodies may remain incorrupt, their bones can produce liquids like oils, or solids like powders, and their blood can turn from liquid to solid almost on cue.
Is There Evidence for the Reality of the Spirit?
As many readers who are familiar with my work surely realize, in many ways I straddle a couple of different communities--indeed, different worlds. I am a trained and "card-carrying" academic. I earned a Ph.D. in geology and geophysics at Yale University and I am currently a full-time tenured faculty member at Boston University. Yet I take a deep and serious interest in various topics that the majority of my fellow academics find, to put it mildly, loathsome. I have challenged mainstream status quo dogma and studied topics that, I have been advised, are best left unexplored if I want to have a successful university career.
Once again the mystery of Antarctica is making news, though the full implications of recent developments are not yet entirely clear.
In the first half of 2016 we reported several times on new research in King Tut's tomb, in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, that suggested a previously undiscovered chamber might exist there. Subsequent preliminary studies proved inconclusive, but the investigation has not ended. In February, the Egyptian Department of Antiquities announced that the scientific search for a lost secret chamber will resume in earnest later in 2017.
New evidence has emerged indicating the seriousness with which U.S. intelligence agencies once took evidence based on paranormal sources.
MAGNETIC EARTH: A CAUSE OR AN EFFECT?
Most of us have been taught that where there is smoke there is fire. One might also say, if there is a magnetic field, there must be a magnet. That is how most theories about the nature of Earth's core originated, but are they true?
In June of 1908 something blew up over Tunguska in Siberia. Since 2012 many have believed that the mysterious event--one of the largest explosions in history--was caused by a meteor. The evidence, they say, is an enormous and unidentified object, shown on bathymetric surveys, buried deep beneath Lake Cheko. A new analysis by Russian scientists though, says not so fast.
Among serious proponents for the existence of Atlantis, are many who also suspect that the forgotten ancient civilization fell because of great evils that flourished there. One of the worst, it is said, was an advanced and unscrupulous science of genetic engineering which produced many monstrosities. Ancient mythological creatures like centaurs, satyrs, chimeras, maybe even the Great Sphinx of Egypt, are, it is believed, but subconscious reconstructions of the horrors of an otherwise mercifully forgotten time.
The good news: another Dead Sea Scrolls cave has been discovered. The bad news: there are no more Dead Sea Scrolls in it. Apparently the looters found it first.
Not many years ago, the suggestion that humans could have lived in North America over 13,000 years ago, would have been dismissed as the raving of the uneducated. Now newly reconsidered evidence, found over 40 years ago, is proving the human presence here at least 24,000 years ago. Part of a growing flood tide of such evidence, the discovery eviscerates the conventional wisdom of a generation.
For years conventional wisdom regarding the Amazonian rain forests, has held that before the arrival of the Europeans, they were pristine ecosystems that had never experienced the destructive forces of civilization. Never mind the claims of explorers like Percy Fawcett that, where today there is only jungle, there had once been cities. There simply wasn't enough arable farmland, it was argued, to support anything other than a primitive subsistence culture. Such pronouncements, however, are now contradicted by new discoveries--chief among them: immense carefully constructed geometrical earthworks (over 450 found so far, of mostly large circles and squares).
Is the Standard Out-of-Africa Narrative About to Change?
Over the last decade, all manner of unexpected archaeological discoveries have led to many experts questioning much of what was assumed to be fact. A large variety of unexpected findings have called into question many elemental assumptions held about the past.
Are Ancient Alien Theorists, Really Creationists?
Who are we? How did we come to be upon the earth? It was once accepted as fact in the Western world that we came into being through a series of creative acts that took place over the course of just six days. In this particular narrative God placed the sun, moon, and stars in the sky and created the plants and animals; and then, on the sixth day, formed the first man and woman and placed them in a divine garden to live.
Are Our Preferences Due to Nature or Nurture?
According to a new study, the music of Mozart and Strauss can lower blood lipid concentrations and the heart rate. A 2016 paper on the effect of different musical genres on the cardiovascular system, published in "Deutsches �rzteblatt International", showed that Mozart and Strauss music amazingly lowered blood pressure and heart rate, whereas there was no discernible effect for the songs of the pop band ABBA used as the control group.
There is no more desolate nor inhabitable location on our planet that found above the Arctic Circle. Ferocious temperatures lashed by blasting windstorms make it a most difficult area for life to get a foothold. This ultimately remote and forbidden polar region would be the last place anyone would expect to discover evidence for an ancient civilization. Yet, the distinguished Natural History magazine reported, "We have now found an Arctic metropolis many times larger than anything previously thought possible in this part of the world and inhabited by people whose material culture differed markedly from that of the Eskimos, as we know them."
The ancient Hindu sacred texts maintain that time for human cultures is divided up into discrete ages, or "Yugas." The Satya Yuga was a time of peace and plenty; people were long-lived giants, morally upright, who had no need to toil away on farms or in mines. Morally, economically, and health-wise they degenerated a bit in the following Treta Yuga, and declined even more in the Duapara Yuga. Most Hindu scholars believe that we are now in the terrible Kali Yuga (named after the seemingly demonic Hindu goddess) a time of moral decline, poor health, pollution, and poverty.
On February 22, 2017 NASA made a stunning announcement. The Spitzer Space Telescope has revealed the first-known system of seven Earth-sized exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) in orbit around a single star. This system is in the constellation of Aquarius and is about 40 light-years from Earth--relatively close in stellar terms. NASA believes three of these exoplanets may be in the habitable zone where a rocky planet is likely to have water.
A new book drawing attention is "The Inkblots: Herman Rorschach, His Iconic Test, and the Power of Seeing", by Damon Searls. It's the story of what was once one of psychiatry's most frequently used tools. You can get the book from the Atlantis Rising Store. Rorschach himself was a psychiatrist with artistic ability, who trained with Freud and Jung. Working in a Swiss asylum, in 1917, he designed a test intended to reveal the subjective perceptual experience of his patients.

Antoniwka (ukrainisch ; russisch /, polnisch Antonówka nad Horyniem) ist ein Dorf im Norden der Oblast Riwne in der Ukraine.

Das nördlich der Hauptstadt Riwne liegende Dorf am östlich des Ortes verlaufenden Fluss Horyn ist Ausgangspunkt der Bahnstrecke Antoniwka–Saritschne und besitzt dazu noch einen Bahnhof an der Bahnstrecke Kowel–Kiew.

Während es vorher im Gouvernement Wolhynien im Russischen Reich lag, kam es nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg im Jahre 1921 zu Polen und lag in der Woiwodschaft Polesien bzw. ab 1930 in der Woiwodschaft Wolhynien im Powiat Sarny, 1939 wurde das Dorf in die Sowjetunion eingegliedert. Nachdem es dann von 1941 bis 1944 von Deutschland besetzt worden war, kam der Ort nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges wieder zur Sowjetunion und ist seit 1991 ein Teil der heutigen Ukraine.

Gemeinde
Am 12. Juni 2020 wurde das Dorf zum Zentrum der neugegründeten Landgemeinde Antoniwka (). Zu dieser zählen noch die 3 in der untenstehenden Tabelle aufgelistetenen Dörfer, bis dahin bildete es zusammen mit dem Dorf Tschakwa  die Landratsgemeinde Antoniwka (Антонівська сільська рада/Antoniwska silska rada) im Osten des Rajons Wolodymyrez.

Am 17. Juli 2020 wurde der Ort ein Teil des neugegründeten Rajons Warasch.

Folgende Orte sind neben dem Hauptort Antoniwka Teil der Gemeinde:

First year Fellows will receive $30,000. The money will be allotted from the NC State Education Assistance Authority to each Fellow's campus at the rate of $15,000 per semester. At the beginning of each semester, each Fellow's tuition and fees will be deducted from the $15,000. Once the deduction is made at the beginning of the semester, each Fellow will be able to access the remainder of the $15,000 from the financial aid office for other expenses.
Second year Fellows will receive $42,380. The money will come from two sources.
Each amount is based on a percentage of the state salary of a first year assistant principal, plus $4,100 for tuition and fees. For 2013-14 the monthly state salary of a first year assistant principal is $3,828 and the annual salary is $38,280.
Source #1- Scholarship Loan: 60% of the 2013-14 state salary of a first year assistant principal (60% of $3,828 = $2296.80 per month multiplied by ten, plus $4,100 for tuition and fees) for a total of $27,068. These funds will be sent from the NC State Education Assistance Authority (SEAA) to each Fellow's university at the rate of $13,534 per semester. Tuition and fees will be deducted from the $13,534 amount at the beginning of each semester and the Fellow will be able to access the remainder of the $13,534 from the financial aid office.
Source #2 - Stipend: 40% of the 2013-14 state salary of a first year assistant principal (40% of $3,828= $1,531.20 per month multiplied by ten for a total of $15,312) will be allotted from the State Board of Education to each Fellow's internship school system. Each Fellow will receive a monthly check from the school system for $1,531.20 less all applicable taxes.


The Eastern Illinois University Observatory was completed in 2004 with funds donated by alumni and friends. This observatory houses a 16-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that is computer controlled for both positioning and data acquisition. It is located in a dark field on campus which makes it both accessible and useful. The director of the observatory is Dr. Donald Pakey. The observatory can be used for classes, research, and community outreach. Open houses are usually held on the last Friday of each month (rainy or clear, hot or cold weather). Click here for a map and directions to the observatory. Open houses are on hold until we finish installing our new solar telescope. Stay tuned for the announcement of our grand re-opening!

Insider's Perspective: The 2008 Democratic Iowa Caucus
By Carolyn Cole
Political pundits are promising the 2008 presidential race will be one for the record books, and kicking off the official delegate-winning activities was the state of Iowa, home of the year's first caucus.
Iowa's Republican caucus uses a straw poll, and therefore resembles the primary system used by a number of other states. But Iowa's Democratic caucus is a literal scramble for delegates that takes place in dozens of school auditoriums and similar venues throughout the state on the chosen night in January. Supporters of each candidate gather together and try to persuade other participants to join them. Candidates with too few supporters become "non-viable," and their supporters may choose to join another camp — after being vigorously wooed, of course.
Carolyn Cole, VP of corporate communications at The VGM Group in Waterloo, Iowa, was a Democratic caucus participant in a year with record turnout. Her caucus night reflections:
• Participation was extraordinary: "Black Hawk County's suffered from massive disorganization. Organizers claim they expected the same numbers they had in 2004. Didn't it occur to anyone that the media hype alone would drive voters out in record numbers? Iowans don't care about cold temperatures in January — it's supposed to be cold then."
• The start was civilized: "I attended a Democratic caucus at a school near my home. I went an hour early to change my voter registration so I could participate. Ward 2-Precinct 6 voters were crammed into a science classroom. Thank God there was a school district employee there, who opened up the empty school auditorium so all 202 of us could go there. It was not a particularly boisterous crowd. There were some old hands who'd obviously been caucusing for years. I sat next to a woman who had never attended before. The last time I caucused was 20 years ago — for the other party. Boxes of cookies and crackers were passed back and forth."
• Then things heated up: "People were anxious to get down to business. I was one of the three supporters of Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd, so I became non-viable in a nanosecond. Sen. Joe Biden and Gov. Bill Richardson were also immediately non-viable. All three groups of supporters were courted heavily by the viable candidates' spokespeople. It became almost humorous listening to their pitches. Within a few minutes, everyone had joined the (Barack) Obama, (John) Edwards and (Hillary) Clinton camps. I was part of Hillary's group.
"The final tally was Obama, 83 and 3 delegates to the state convention; Edwards, 72, 2 delegates; and Hillary, 47 and 1. Do not ask me how to do the math. It is complex and esoteric and Democratic with a capital D."
• What she learned: "You can never predict what Iowans will do. It doesn't matter how much money you spend or how many annoying robo-calls your campaign makes. Before the event, I (said) it was too close to call. I was amazed at the outcome. I never thought Hillary would finish third. I never guessed that Obama would be first. (Mike) Huckabee's victory was less surprising; his star was rising right before the caucuses.
"Of course, I will go caucus again. I'm a strong believer that those who don't exercise their right to vote often get what they deserve."

Morris Tribunal leads to advisory committee on Garda interviewing
The Minister for Justice and Law Reform, Mr Dermot Ahern T.D., has announced the establishment of an Advisory Committee on Garda Interviewing of suspects following recommendations of the Morris Tribunal.
The make up of the committee includes representatives of the Department of Justice, the Law Society, the Irish Human Rights Commission and An Garda Siochana.
In a statement announcing the make up of the advisory committee, Minister Ahern says it is important that the law and systems of interviewing are kept under continual review.
He says systems must be effective in tackling crime, and also ensure that the State meets its responsibility to provide fair procedures that uphold the highest standards of constitutional and natural justice.
The Committee will oversee policy on interviews in Garda custody on an ongoing basis, including recommending changes in law and practice.
The committee will be chaired by Mr Justice Esmond Smyth, who previously chaired the group which oversaw the initial introduction of audio/visual recording in Garda Stations.
The sixth report of the Morris Tribunal recommended the establishment of the advisory group which has been announced today.

Case C-26/04, Commission v Spain
5 August 2005, source edie/Semple Fraser feature
The Advocate General of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) delivered his opinion on 7 July 2005 in the case of Commission v Spain.
The Commission had sought a declaration of the Court that, by failing to officially designate the beaches of 'A Videira', 'Niño do Corvo' and 'Canabal' located in Moaña, Ría de Vigo, on the Galician coast of Spain as bathing waters and by failing to adopt a pollution reduction programme for the Ría de Vigo, Spain had failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 4(1) of the Bathing Waters Directive (Directive 76/160/EEC) and Article 5 of the Shellfish Waters Directive (Directive 79/923/EEC).
The Advocate General has recommended that the Court should declare that, by failing to adopt by the prescribed date a pollution reduction programme for the Ría de Vigo, Spain has indeed failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 5 of the Shellfish Waters Directive.
However, the Advocate General has recommended that the remainder of the Commission's application be dismissed.
In particular, the arguments put forward in support of the assertion that there has been a breach of the Bathing Waters Directive have been dismissed, with the Advocate General remaining unconvinced that there is an obligation to 'officially designate' bathing waters within the provisions of the Bathing Water Directive or which can be inferred from the objectives of the Directive.
However it remains to be seen whether the ECJ will follow this view, and if the Court were to find that there is an implicit obligation under the Bathing Water Directive to 'officially designate' the relevant bathing waters, it should conclude that by failing to do so as regards the beaches of 'A Videira', 'Niño do Corvo' and 'Canabal' located in Moaña, Ría de Vigo, on the Galician coast, Spain has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 4(1) thereof.
The Opinion of the Advocate General is available in English at the curia.eu.int website.

When starting a new project with XCode, you are often given the option to add CoreData to your project. I build almost every project using CoreData in some way (given most of my apps are business related, there needs to be some form of caching or data retention).
However, for some reason, the option to add CoreData to the TabViewController app is missing in XCode. Which is strange as TabViewController is probably the most versatile of the options available.
Manually adding in CoreData support is an option, but it's time consuming and I've found its easier to change the project template to allow CoreData.
4. Hit ctrl-X to save, then Y to confirm and you are done.
The next time you boot up XCode and try for the TabBar template you should see the option to add CoreData.

We embrace a paradigm of ecclesiology that incorporates a both / and appreciation of the Church (Cap "C" in the city/region – I Cor. 1:2) and the churches (little "c" individual congregations – I Cor. 16:9). This expresses both a corporate ("the Body of Christ") and an individualistic ("members in particular") understanding and expression of Christ's Church. [ I Cor. 12:12,14,27 – This is about the paradigm of something not seen in modern times, … the "Church in the city" as a functioning reality.


It's no secret that travel transforms you. Meeting new people, new cultures, new food, traveling connects you on a whole different way changing the way you see the world. I can only think how we leave marks behind, and to me, this is one of the biggest goals I have this year. Travel as far as we can with my little ones, as widely as possible, and show them how other people live, outside their little world in Montreal.
I was lucky enough to share a full week with the team of Visit Florida, and explore three hidden gems I didn't have the chance to see before, Sarasota, Punta Gorda and Tampa. I've been to Florida so many times before, but, only to popular cities like Miami or Orlando, as I bet you have too.
Welcome to Central Florida heaven!
I can't wait to show you where to eat, sleep and see over here.
Thank you again, Visit Florida, for this dreamy getaway I'll never forget.
The three destinations we discovered were full of pure yumminess and a delightful experience. From French, Cuban, Asian, Spanish and a mix of cuisines, we had an authentic dining experience in Florida. Here's a list of my favorite places you NEED to try if you happen to be here.
- The Muse at The Ringling: We had one of the BEST healthy lunches I've tried in years here. Ps. Can I go back for brunch?
- Breakfast at C'est La Vie: Fresh omelettes, croissants, and cappuccinos, this little place was charming and with a real french touch I adore, as you all know.
- Dinner at Shore Diner: A stunning menu with the prettiest and elegant design, they reimagined a healthy and crave-able dishes I'll never forget. Cob salad to a next level, guys.
- Farlow's on the water: This place was my FAVE of the entire trip. Their menu is a mix of classic American and Caribbean with a southern twist. Seafood lovers? Steak lovers? this will be your dream. Do not leave without trying their pork belly. God, that pork belly.
- Peace River Seafood: fresh, locally caught seafood diner, located in the heart of this small town. Their specialty? blue crabs - I only wished I could eat them.
- Hall on Franklin: The first food hall in Tampa (hearts to this place), features seven diverse culinary experts, all in one space. It was so much fun to have a cuban sandwich, with oysters, a pad thai and popcorn all in the same table. You'll adore the experience.
- Drinks at Ciro's Speakeasy: OMG. BEST. DRINKS. EVER. point.
- Breakie at Oxford Exchange: I'm still crying I won't have these egg benedicts closer to home. Seriously, the creamiest hollandaise I've had paired with the cutest coffee bar, bookstore, and home decor shop. This historic building is a dream.
- Tapas at Bulla Gastrobar: My second favorite of the trip, Bulla. They have several locations in Florida, serving REAL spanish tapas that made me think so much of our days in Barcelona. Croquettes and Spanish tortilla, si por favor.
- Sprinkles cupcakes at Hyde Park: I couldn't believe they had one here.
- The Ringling Museum: The state art museum of Florida, is home to a wonderful and dreamy cultural collection in the country. A 66 acre estate of John and Mable Ringling, including a circus museum your kids will LOVE (the biggest one in the US), and the prettiest Bayfront gardens and buildings. We toured their home and saw over 10,000 pieces of contemporary prunts in here. You won't believe you are in Florida, trust me.
- Selby Gardens: Hosting the newest Warlhol's exhibit with a perfect greenhouse and some of his prints in a private room. They have a small kids area with the biggest trees you'll find in the state.
- Siesta Key Beach: When you land to the whitest sand you've seen, you know this beach is something you wanted to see for a long time. Their sand is made up of mineral quartz and it feels so soft and fine. Stay here and enjoy a pink sunset with your little ones.
- Riding the waves: Ride your very own pontoon boat? this gotta be a dream! me and my friend Soheila did the funnest drive up the bay, seeing dolphins (screams), so close you can touch them if you are in luck! Ps. this activity is kids friendly, yes!
- Sunset Cruise with King Fisher Fleet: The prettiest sunset you'll see in Florida. Can't miss this.
-Fisherman's Village: A shopping, dining, full marina and villa vacation with plenty to do for the whole family. Loved the caribbean vibes and bold colors!
- Take a pirate water taxi: I swear this is a thing here! We took a bright yellow water taxi in Tampa's downtown area and explore the city from the water.
- Go back in time at Tampa Theatre: and when I mean back in time, it's a 1926 era. This movie palace was Tampa's first and today is an institution in the city. They have a repertoire of art-house films and classic nowadays.
- Shopping heaven at Hyde Park Village: Such a trendy corner of the city with pretty murals (Did you hear, murals?), hip coffee spots, and an open-air shopping district. Stay warm with some paletas and sweet with a Sprinkle cupcake.

The band Nymphill was formed back in late 2009 by the drummer Filip and lead guitarist Marek, after their former band Face Factory broke up. Since then the band went through a few musicians but eventually Andżelika Mrozowicz became the singer and Mateusz Mostowski became the band's keyboard / synth / piano player. In February 2012 the first demo album "Enjoy the Dark" was released and acclaimed by the public. At the beginning of April former bass player Konrad Tesmer re-joined the band. Not so long after that a new guitarist, Radek Bieganowski has joined. With the new members on board the band focuses on creating heavy metal oriented music and playing concerts.

Ardean Law Chambers is a law firm specializing in provision of intellectual property services in Tanzania, Zanzibar, Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria. We have been receiving inquiries on this subject from different parts of the world. This article serves as a comprehensive document on trademark registration in Tanzania in an attempt to answer comprehensively some of the inquiries. We also hope that it will serve for purpose more than that. You may download this article in a PDF format hereTrademak Registration in Tanzania
A TRADEMARK is any visible distinctive sign used or proposed to be used upon, in connection with or relation to goods or services, for the purpose of distinguishing, in the course of trade or business, the goods or services of a person from those of another (Section 2 of the Trade and Service Marks Act Cap. 326 R.E 2002, "hereinafter referred to as TSMA").
Its origin dates back to ancient times, when craftsmen reproduced their signatures, or "marks" on their artistic or utilitarian products for identification. Over the years these marks evolved into today's system where the marks are registered and protected by laws. This system besides serving the owner of the trademark or products manufacturers to market their products or services, it, on the other hand, helps the consumers to identify, choose and finally purchase a product or service because of its quality as it has been proved by the trademark owner over the years.
A visible sign means any sign which is capable of graphic reproduction, including words, name, brand, devise, heading, label, ticket, signature, letter, number, relief, stamp, seal, vignette, emblem or any combination thereof (Sect. 2 TSMA)
Trademarks in Tanzania are regulated by:-
The Trade and Service Marks Act Cap. 326 R. E 2002
The Trade and Service Marks Regulations, Government Notice No.40 of 2002
Zanzibar Industrial Property Act, Act No. of 2008
The Zanzibar Industrial Property Regulations of 2015;
The Merchandize Marks Act Cap.85 R.E 2002; and
The Merchandize Marks Regulations Government Notice No. 89 of 2008.
While the Trade and Service Marks Act and its regulations provide for registration and protection of trade marks in Mainland Tanzania, the Zanzibar Industrial Property Act and its regulations provide for registration and protection of trade marks in Tanzania Zanzibar. It is important to note that Tanzania is a United Republic of Tanganyika (Mainland Tanzania) and Zanzibar. Despite of the union of 1964, these two former Republic still maintain different pieces of statute for intellectual property. Thus, registration and protection of a trade mark secured in the mainland does not extend to Zanzibar and the vice versa is true. The Merchandize Marks, 1963 is for control the use of marks and trade descriptions. It is a penal law dealing with the use forged and deceptive application of trademarks.
IMPORTANCE OF TRADEMARK
A trademark provides protection to the owner of the mark by ensuring exclusive right to use it to identify goods or services, or to authorize another to use it in return for payment. It is provided by section 31 of the Trade and Service Mark Act, that: "…the registration of a trade or service right mark shall, if valid, give or deemed to have given to the registered proprietor the exclusive right to the use of a trade or service mark in relation to any goods including sale, importation and offer for sale or importation"
The essential function of a trademark is to uniquely identify the commercial source or origin of products or services. The use of a trademark in this way is known as 'trademark use' and a trademark owner seeks to enforce its rights or interests in a trademark by preventing unauthorized trademark use.
In a larger sense, trademarks promote initiative and enterprise worldwide by rewarding the owners of trademarks with recognition and financial profit. Trademark protection also hinders the effort of unfair competitors, such as counterfeiters, to use similar distinctive signs to market inferior or different products or services. In Tanzania, this is dealt with by the Merchandize Marks Act Cap.85 R.E 2002 and The Fair Competition Act No.8 of 2003. The system enables people with skill and enterprise to produce and market goods and services in the fairest possible conditions, thereby facilitating national and international trade.
A trademark is eligible for registration if it functions as a trademark and is not generic or descriptive. It is provided by section 16(1) of TSMA that "A trade or service mark shall be registered if it is distinctive". A trade mark is distinctive if it is capable of distinguishing goods or services with which its appropriator is or may be connected in the course of trade or business. Trademarks may be one or a combination of words, letters, and numerals. They may consist of drawings, symbols, three- dimensional signs such as the shape and packaging of goods, audible signs such as music or vocal sounds, or fragrances used as distinguishing features.
In determining whether a trade or service mark is capable of distinguishing particular products or services from others, the following are considered: –
The category to which the trade or service mark is inherent capable of distinguishing as aforesaid
Regard shall be to the extent to which by reason of the use of the trademark or servicemark or of any other circumstances, the trade or service mark is in fact capable of distinguishing. For example, marks which identify or describe a product or service, or which are in common use, or which are used as geographical indicators, must remain available for use to anyone. For this reason, a generic term such as 'apple' or descriptive term such as 'red' or'juicy' generally could not be registered in relation to apples.
A good example is the case of Nichols plc v. Registrar of Trade Marks (Case C-404/2004) of the UK. The applicant applied for the registration in the United Kingdom a trademark of the surname "Nichols" for vending machines, food and drink typically dispensed through such machines. The respondent Registrar in judging the capacity of a surname to distinguish goods or services, said that consideration would be given to the commonness of the name, based on a specified number of times that it appeared in an appropriate telephone directory, and to the number of undertakings engaged in the relevant trade. The registrar, having noted that "Nichols" or phonetically similar names appeared more than the specified number of times in the London telephone directory, refused registration in respect of food and drink, but granted it in respect of vending machines, on the ground that the size of the market in the first case was large, but in the second was more specialized.
Generally, the proposed trademark must be distinctive so that consumers can distinguish it as identifying particular product, from other trademarks identifying other products. It must neither mislead nor deceive customers or violate public order or morality.
Effects of Limitation of Absence of Colour
A trade or service mark is required to be limited in whole or in part to one or more specified colours, and in any such case the fact that it is so limited may be taken into consideration in deciding on the distinctive character of the trade mark. If whenever in any circumstances a trade or a service mark is registered without limitation of colours, it shall be deemed to have registered for all colors (Section 17 of TSMA).
A trademark owner is required to lodge his application with the Registrar of trademark (section 21 of TSMA, 1986). Application and the whole registration process, in Tanzania, is done through the Online Registration System (ORS). No more paper work.
The Applicant or appointed representative must have the following information.
The name and full address of the applicant/trademark owner;
The trade or business description of the applicant. Description and nationality of individual, firm or body corporate should be given. If the applicant is a firm (partnership), the names of all partners must be given in full. If the applicant is a body corporate, the kind and country of incorporation should be given.
Trade or services mark proposed for registration. If the applicant is a foreign entity and the trade mark is already registered in another country, proof of registration must be given.
A list of goods or services to which the sign would apply (class);
A declaration that the applicant or his proposed registered user is using or proposes to use the trade mark within Tanzania.
Where a person applying has applied for protection for any trade or in a country which is party to the Paris Convention for Protection of Industrial Property, 1983 is entitled to claim the benefits of the earlier application. When he succeeds, his application will be deemed to be of the same date of application in the country provided that application for registration in Tanzania is made within Tanzania is within six months from the date of earlier application (section 22(1).
The rights applied for cannot be the same as, or similar to, rights already granted to another trademark owner. This may be determined through search and examination by the Registrar, or by the opposition of third parties who claims similar or identical rights. (Section 26 and 27)
Application for Registration must be submitted by Agent of the Applicant together with FORM No. TM/SM1. This is a requirement of Regulation 11 of the Trade and Service Marks Regulations of 2002. Thus, the applicant is required to appoint an Agent. The Agent must have an account to login the BRELA Online Registration System. Pursuant to the provisions of Regulation 11(3) the Agent must be:
A person of Tanzania nationality;
Having a domicile or place of business in Tanzania;
An advocate of the High Court; or a person approved by the Registrar after successful passing examination conducted by the Registrar; or
Is a member of the Chartered Institute of Trade and Service Marks Agents.
Upon filing of application for registration of a trade mark and payment of the prescribed fee, the Registrar will examine the application as to:-
Conformity with the formalities required;
The registability of the trade mark;
Whether the trade and service mark is required to be associated.
Where the Registrar is satisfied with the application of the applicant will accept the same and issue a letter of acceptance to the applicant and proceed to advertise the proposed mark in the Trade and Services Marks Journal (Section 26(2).
OPPOSITION OF THIRD PARTIES (SECTION 27)
Any person may, within sixty (60) days from the date of advertisement of an application give notice to the Registrar of opposition to the registration of a trade or service mark. The opposition party must state the grounds for his opposition that the application does not satisfy the requirements of the law. Among the grounds which may be raised are:-
That, the trade mark cannot be validly registered in respect of any goods or services because it is identical with a trade or services mark belonging to him or different proprietor and already on the register in respect of the same goods or services or closely related goods or services; or
That, the mark or service cannot be validly registered in respect of any goods or services because it nearly resembles such a trade or service mark of different proprietor as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion as to the nature, geographical or origin; or
That, the trade or service mark cannot be registered in respect of any goods or service because the use of it is contrary to the law or morality.
The notice of opposition must be made in writing with a statement of the grounds for the opposition in form TM/SM 34. The Registrar is required to send a copy of that notice to the applicant who will within the prescribed time send to the Registrar a counter settlement of the grounds on which he relies for his application. If the applicant sends such counter statement as aforesaid, the Registrar will furnish a copy thereof to a person giving notice of opposition. Thereafter, the registrar shall hear the parties if so required and make decision thereof. A party dissatisfied by the decision of the Registrar may appeal to the High Court.
Where the application for registration of a trade or service mark has been accepted, the Registrar shall register the trade and service mark. The registration shall be effective as from the date on which the application for registration was received and shall remain valid for a period of 7 years (Section 29) and may be renewed from time to time for a term of 10 years.
EFFECT OF REGISTRATION
One of the effects of registration is to disentitle any person to institute any proceedings to prevent or to recover damages for infringement of unregistered trade mark. However this restriction is not available for action against any person for passing off goods or service of another person or the remedied in respect thereof (Section 30)
Upon registration, the registered proprietor acquires exclusive right to the use of the trade or service mark in relation to any goods including sale, importation and offer for sale or importation.
TRADE MARK INFRINGEMENT
Registering a trade mark provides the proprietor with certain exclusive rights. The infringement of these rights entitles him a right to action against the infringer. Pursuant to section 32(1) of the Trade and Service Marks Act, 1986 the proprietor's exclusive rights are deemed to be infringed by any person who is not the proprietor of trade mark or registered user thereof uses a sign either:-
Identical with or so nearly resembling it as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion, in the cause of trade or business, in relation to any good in respect of which it is registered; or
Identical with or nearly resembling it in the course of trade or business in any manner likely to impair the distinctive character or acquired reputation of the trade mark.
The elements for a successful infringement claim have been well established under both statutes and case law. In a nutshell, a plaintiff in a trade mark case has the burden of proving that the defendant's use of a mark has created likelihood-of-confusion about the origin of the defendant's goods or services. To do this, the plaintiff should first show that the defendant is using a confusingly similar trademark in such a way that it creates a likelihood of confusion, mistake and/or deception with the consuming public. The confusion created can be that the defendant's products are the same as that of the plaintiff, or the defendant is somehow associated, affiliated, approved or sponsored by plaintiff.
Seven factors for likelihood of confusion
To analyze whether a particular situation has developed the requisite "likelihood of confusion," courts have generally looked at the following factors:-
The similarity in the overall impression created by the two marks (including the marks' look, phonetic similarities, and underlying meanings);
The similarity of goods and services involved (including an examination of the marketing channels for the goods);
Any evidence of actual confusion by consumers;
The intent of the defendant in adopting its mark;
The physical proximity of the goods in the retail marketplace;
The degree of care likely to be exercised by the consumer; and
The likelihood of expansion of the products lines.
It is important to take necessary steps to have a trade mark registered. After, registration is also important to ensure that a trade mark has to be renewed after seven years. Any renewal thereafter lasts for ten years and then renewed consecutively. Where the owner of the mark decides to assign it to someone else, this matter has to be communicated to the Registrar for registration and endorsement. Any change of name or address must be communicated to the Registrar. The same case applies to Mergers, Registered users (also known as licensing) and any other change in particulars registered.

Founded by the National Society of Professional Engineers, EWeek is a week-long celebration of how engineers make a difference in our world and an effort to raise awareness of the engineering profession. This year, Discover Engineers Week was February 20-26, including Introduce A Girl to Engineering Day on February 24, followed by World Engineering Day March 4.
Using several demonstrations, the TLE team showed students how their jobs as structural engineers tie into the Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) curriculum at Cedar Lane, and how they use all four parts to do their jobs. For science, they use physics and loading from external elements such as wind, as well as the scientific method. Under
technology, they employ computers and design software. With engineering, they study principles such as loading and how materials react. Finally, they utilize math in combination with the other topics to predict what will happen.
"We want to try to shape some young minds and drive home how important STEM is today," said Kirby Hartle, TLE Principal. "People often wonder if we even need to study math anymore, and while it may be true that not everyone needs to understand calculus, general math is important to things we all do every day."
Victoria O'Bruba, a fourth-grade teacher at Cedar Lane, said that having the TLE team visit her classroom provided her students with a real-world connection to the content they're expected to learn.
"In class, we complete STEM activities and practice the scientific method, so showcasing people whose professions utilize these skills allows students to understand how the material taught can be applied beyond an in-school setting – and hopefully for some, sparking interest in and pursuing a career in the STEM field," she said.
Kirby added that planting an interest in science and math at a young age is extremely important, and that once kids learn how STEM affects things that surround them every day, they get a new perspective.
"We want to show students that there are levels of science and math for everyone, and you don't have to get into extremely high levels to enjoy learning about how STEM applies to everyone," he said.

An auspicious element in Hindu tradition, Deepalakshmi is a representation of the Goddess Lakshmi, holding a lamp or a 'deep' (diya) in her hands. Usually featuring a lamp that can be lit, Deeplakshmi is a symbol of good luck and prosperity, and the light that guides one in times of darkness and adversity.
Made of brass, this well detailed Deepalakshmi is a collector's delight. Originally from South India, it has intricate carvings all over the body of the figure, and a bird sitting on the right shoulder. The base is missing, but the old collectible is otherwise in good condition.

This Masters Level 9 Programme aims at enabling graduates to specialise in the widely established area of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering or to broaden their knowledge from their undergraduate studies.
This Access Course is for Honours students whose primary degree is not in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, but who wish to join the MEng in Mechanical & Manufacturing programme.
For those students who do not meet the normal Masters entry requirements, but have a level 8 H3 degree in Mechanical and/or Mechanical Engineering, this course offers an alternative entry route to the MEng in Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering.


The Stuxnet work, he says, has saved us from the neocons' war.
Eric Alterman has penned an inexplicable and scurrilous column for this magazine touting an act of war against Iran by Israel, namely, the unleashing of the so-called Stuxnet computer worm.
Not only that, but a worm—once created—can take on a life of its own. It can infect unintended locations, as Stuxnet already has, and even spread uncontrollably. And it can be copied and engineered by others, for other purposes. It's like biological warfare: once uncorked, there's no putting the germs back in the bottle.
Second, although its details are still shrouded in mystery—despite a brilliant New York Times investigative piece on its origins—the Stuxnet worm is hardly the only reason Iran's nuclear program has run into trouble. Many other factors are in play: the sanctions against Iran have blocked Iran from importing the materials that it needs to maintain and expand the centrifuge program, including carbon fiber (produced, mainly, by Japanese firms that have halted exports to Iran) and maraging steel, both of which are vital to Iran's program. There are also questions about Iran's own technological savvy, both in operating the system and in expanding it to more modern and faster centrifuges. And there are questions of political intent, since it isn't clear why, exactly, Iran has slowed its production of low-enriched uranium, and the International Atomic Energy Agency itself isn't sure. There's little doubt that the computer worm has had an effect, as Iran had admitted, but whether it's a nuisance or a devastating setback isn't known. Assuming the latter buys into the Mossad's self-inflated view of its own omnipotence.
Third, Alterman commits an egregious non sequitur by writing that the Stuxnet operation, even if successful, has somehow "saved" us. As Alterman writes, "The Stuxnet worm has helped to save the world from the horrific consequences [of an attack on Iran]." He implies, without a shred of evidence, that President Obama has been "listening to [the] warmongers," when in fact Obama has repeatedly engaged Iran in the diplomatic arena and, by all accounts—including my own reporting—has no appetite whatsoever for bombing Iran. True, as Alterman says, a motley assortment of neoconservatives such as Daniel Pipes, Reuel Gerecht and others have urged Obama to bomb Iran, and I've written extensively about their rug-chewing recommendations myself. But perhaps Alterman hasn't noticed that Obama isn't listening to neoconservatives on Iran (or anything else), and that with the partial exception of Dennis Ross, a national security council adviser who is a noted hawk, the administration is notably lacking in anyone who'd do anything but guffaw at the likes of Pipes, Newt Gingrich, Bill Kristol, Jim Woolsey and John Bolton when it comes to policy toward Iran.
Fourth, it should be pointed out, even the economic sanctions against Iran have starkly negative consequences. While the Obama administration—and, I assume, Alterman—seem to think that economic sanctions are working, in fact they create an enormous obstacle to successful talks between Iran and the P5+1 over the nuclear program, as evidenced during the most recent round of talks in Istanbul, Turkey. Perhaps, just perhaps, the targeted sanctions against specific imports used in Iran's program have been effective, as I've pointed out above, but that hardly justifies sweeping and punitive economic sanctions against Iran's financial industry, its petrochemical, oil and gas industry and other vulnerable sectors of what is, after all, a poor and struggling third-world country.


The accreditation followed a rigorous, four-day assessment at XIMC in Changsha that included evaluation of its compliance with more than 1,000 measures of care. JCI focuses on determining whether a health care facility has the right systems and processes in place to support high-quality and safe patient care and has the culture and capacity to continuously improve care. Its surveyors examine crucial issues such as the safe use of medications, infection prevention and control, patient assessment and patient rights.
Starting in 2014, UPMC helped to establish XIMC on the existing Changsha campus of Xiangya Hospital. The facility offers world-class care to private-pay patients under a government-endorsed effort to relieve overcrowding in public hospitals by cooperating with private facilities. UPMC serves as the exclusive advisor on the management of XIMC and participates in both medical and administrative oversight of all services.
JCI will continue to monitor XIMC for compliance with all JCI hospital standards throughout the three-year accreditation cycle.
UPMC's services at XIMC have included training for medical and administrative staff, sharing of enhanced quality assurance and safety processes, recommendations on technology, equipment and staffing, and telemedicine links to UPMC's clinical programs in Pittsburgh and Italy.
Established in 1906, the Xiangya Hospital has more than 80 clinical departments and serves more than 100,000 inpatients and more than 2.1 million outpatients annually.


PRNSA's Science at the Seashore field trip program features hands-on science education for elementary, middle & high school students. While visiting the Seashore's outdoor field sites, students have the opportunity to experience the excitement of discovery in natural habitats. As they use field study equipment to observe wildlife, test water quality, sample invertebrates, fish, or soils, students learn about the ecology, geology and natural history of Point Reyes National Seashore. Field trips are held in the newly restored Giacomini Wetland, surrounding watershed creeks, or Point Reyes bays and beaches.
Study equipment and waterproof footwear are provided.
Some activities are seasonally unavailable, dependent on tides and group size.
Minimum group size is 10 students. A fee is requested. Scholarships are available!
