Geographical Indication

What is Geographical Indication?

A geographical indication is a name or sign used to indicate that certain product corresponds to a specific geographical location which may be a town or a region, a country. The use of a GI tag acts as a certification that the product possesses certain qualities, is made according to traditional methods, or enjoys a certain reputation, due to its geographical origin. e.g. Mahabaleshwar Strawberry, Darjeeling Tea etc.

Our aim is to create opportunities for farmers/producers by registering their fiercely guarded traditional products and improve their income leading to sustainable development”

We have reorganized the approach of producers and consumers of looking at quality products and assurance of quality thereof.Registering a GI can have a positive impact on the production and employment within the region, allowing producers to market the product at a premium price.Having registered almost one tenth of India’s Geographical Indications, we are the Pioneers  in this field. Our dedicated efforts placed Maharashtra at the zenith of registered agricultural GIs in India.

Our services related to GI are:

  • Research work
  • Field Work

  • Application Filling
  • Prosecution
  • Authorized User Registration
  • PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) Registration in European Union

Stupidly Handsome. Annoyingly Tan. The Creator of "Arrested Development" On Why He Loves Will Arnett.

The new issue of GQ features a short profile of our favorite funnyman Will Arnett, which you can read here. Arnett’s new Fox sitcom "Running Wilde" reunites him with Mitch Hurwitz, the Emmy-winning creator of "Arrested Development," so naturally we asked Hurwitz to pass along a kind word or two about his leading man. Hurwitz obliged, and then some. He sent us about a thousand words. Click here to read all of it, especially the bit about how Arnett got cast on "Arrested Development," which was news to us. And below we’ve excerpted our favorite bit from Hurwitz’s mash note—just a dash of Arnett improv for the addicts out there:

"We had a line in the "Running Wilde" pilot where Steve Wilde (Will’s character) was describing how many friends he has (a lie) to his co-star, Keri Russell, and we had him trying to pass off his driver, who was approaching, as one of these friends. I gave him a line (as Steve): "Oh, here’s a friend now--Migo, I want you to meet somebody." And Will in an instant replied as Migo: "LAX or Burbank?" I always think of that when I think of how quick Will is and also how he’s fascinated with the world of the entitled, in this case from the point of view of one of the servants. There was another moment when Keri is at Will’s door and says she’s engaged to be married, and that her fiance is "right over there in that Subaru" and Will (as Steve) kind of leaned over like he was looking out the door and said, "Huh. So that’s a Subaru." "

Who are we without our memories?

Two-year-old Edie shares a special moment with her best friend, Gramma Ginny. Jessie Veeder / Forum News Service1 / 2
Jessie Veeder, Coming Home columnist2 / 2

Last week, Edie caught her first fish off of her great-grandparents' dock on a little lake in Minnesota.

After her daddy helped her pull that bluegill out of the water using the little orange fishing pole with the button reel that has likely caught many grandkids' first fishes, she inspected its puckered mouth, ran her fingers over its scales, looked toward the shore and yelled at the top of her lungs, "Gramma Ginny, look! I caught a fish!"

Gramma Ginny is Edie's 80-something great-grandmother who is known to her family as a woman who loves to play bridge, has read thousands of books, is probably magic because she can float in the water for hours without paddling and refuses to look on anything but the bright side in life. This is a quality that is seeing her and her family through the difficult and inevitable process of time that has taken her quick wit and memory, but has not broken her spirit.

Edie calls gramma Ginny her best friend, and like any best friend, she was thrilled by her little granddaughter's first catch. I watched them celebrate with a lump in my throat wishing time would stop for a moment.

Edie, don't get bigger just yet. Gramma, don't get older. Warm sun, don't go down on Lake Melissa today; just hang in the sky a little longer and shine on my mom in her swimsuit as she floats out to the sailboat with her sisters. Don't set on these cousins getting to know one another and growing up too fast. Don't stop our laughing and start our worries. Not yet. Hold still now, time.

"It's a beautiful day. A good day," said Gramma Ginny over and over as all 10 of her great-grandchildren, from 7 months to 14 years old, navigated their relationships to one another over games of beanbag toss, squirt gun fights and kayak trips to the lily pads.

"Yes, yes it is Gramma," we would reply, all of us reliving old memories of swim lessons from aunties, rainy day card games and mosquito slapping by the campfire, wishing we didn't know that our matriarch's memories slip in and out like waves as she holds on tight to her husband's hand and wades into the familiar feel of the cool lake water towards her grown daughters with children and grandchildren of their own.

I looked at my grandparents and thought about the 60-some years of a life they've lived hand in hand like that and I wondered how it is that I want to stop the very thing that has given them so much adventure and fulfillment and love.

What do we know if we can't remember it all?

Who are we without our recollections, our stories? Our memories?

We are my 2-year-old daughter, fresh and eager to discover a mysterious new world, and her great-grandmother, two best friends celebrating a catch in a special moment on a good and beautiful day.

What is Wrong with Mandatory Arbitration

The news story surrounding former FOX News anchor, Gretchen Carlson, has gone viral. She is attempting to sue her former boss and FOX News chairman, Roger Ailes, for sexual harassment. Her case was filed in state court in New York. However, attorneys for Ailes claim that Carlson must abide by an arbitration agreement, which was in her employment contract. Therefore, Carlson may not have a right to a trial by jury.

This may seem like a minor procedural detail, which is exactly what powerful companies and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce want us to believe. After all, arbitration has been around a while. In-and-of-itself, it's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, when both sides are in agreement to use arbitration, it can help speed along the resolution of a case. I've used arbitration before with clients and will likely use it again in the future.

However, this situation is very different. Carlson may be forced to use arbitration because of a clause in the employment contract she signed with Fox. It's what we refer to as "mandatory arbitration." She was required to agree to it long before she began experiencing the harassment or before the dispute arose. Mandatory arbitration is now very common in all aspects of our lives. These binding mandatory arbitration agreements are being buried into almost every consumer contract out there. They're a part of the "fine print", so to speak. Mandatory arbitration clauses are showing up in bank and credit card agreements, insurance contracts, employment agreements, and even nursing home admission paperwork.

So what's the problem with arbitration, you may be asking? An arbitration is a private judicial proceeding. The arbitrators are paid by the parties. They are not government officials. The problem is that everything in an arbitration proceeding is kept hidden from the public. All information leading to the result of the arbitration will be kept secret. There is no judge, no public record, and no jury.

Our Founding Fathers thought that a right to trial by jury in civil cases was so important that they carved it into stone as the 7th Amendment to the Constitution. It is, literally, in our Bill of Rights. The reason trial by jury in civil cases is so important is that it allows the average person to have equal footing in a dispute with the rich and powerful. An individual has as much standing as General Motors or Bank of America. It keeps people, such as Ailes or any other large and powerful entities, accountable for their actions in a public forum. That is exactly why Roger Ailes and Fox News want arbitration instead of a jury in a court of law. They don't want the public to know how badly they have behaved.

Grossman LLP | Indonesian Theme Park Filled With Art Knockoffs Illustrates Challenges In Defending Copyrights Across Borders
This links to the home page
Art Law Blog
  • Indonesian Theme Park Filled With Art Knockoffs Illustrates Challenges In Defending Copyrights Across Borders
    Earlier this year, doors opened at “Rabbit Town,” a peculiar theme park in the city of Bandung on West Java in Indonesia.  The park features a variety of attractions, including a petting zoo and amusement rides, but its primary appeal seems to be as a “selfie tourism” destination, where visitors can photograph themselves and their friends amidst a variety of fantastical backdrops and share their snaps on social media.
    And among the visual attractions gracing Rabbit Town are some familiar sights: the park appears to have recreated a number of famous art installations from across the globe.  The park features its own versions of works including the interactive installation Obliteration Room by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama; Urban Light, by Chris Burden, an installation featuring rows of lampposts, the original of which is at LACMA in California; a mural featuring angel wings by artist Colette Miller; and multiple immersive spaces that seem to be lifted from displays at the Museum of Ice Cream in Miami.  The Rabbit Town versions often have different titles and do not acknowledge the work of the original artist.
    None of the artists whose works are copied have initiated any formal lawsuit, although officials from the Museum of Ice Cream have made statements to the press accusing Rabbit Town of “disregard” for artists’ intellectual property.  One media account reported that Indonesian tourism authorities have encouraged Rabbit Town to at least provide visitors with information about which exhibits are “inspired by” other artists’ works, but it’s unclear whether that will happen.
    The oddly audacious copying of artwork at Rabbit Town illustrates a simple fact about artists who want to defend their intellectual property rights; that mission gets more complicated when an issue crosses international borders, because there is no universal international copyright law that protects an artwork all over the world.  Many countries have treaties with one another where they have reached certain agreements about how their copyright laws might interact.  But as a general matter, each country makes its own copyright law.  So even if an artist’s work is protected under, for example, United States copyright law, that doesn’t mean that those laws—or the powers of the U.S. court system—stretch across the globe.  Rather, an artist would generally sue in the country where the infringement happened, and the case would be governed by that jurisdiction’s copyright law.  Artists have to weigh whether to spend their time and resources to litigate in a foreign country.
    Here, Rabbit Town’s versions of these artworks were created in Indonesia, and if that’s where the copying ended, then a lawsuit over Rabbit Town might need to be initiated there.  But interestingly, the same social-media-savvy, “photo-op” nature of Rabbit Town might create a different legal angle; there might be an argument that the infringement didn’t happen entirely outside the United States because Rabbit Town is apparently also distributing photos of its copies using U.S.-based photo-sharing platform Instagram.  So it’s possible that a U.S. court might be willing to hear an infringement case here on that basis; but speculation about that is difficult, particularly as court decisions are a bit unsettled on this issue.
    In terms of what an infringement case might look like, it’s important to recall that copyright doesn’t protect a mere idea; rather, an artist only owns a copyright in his or her unique expression of an idea.  (So for example, artist Colette Miller doesn’t own a copyright in the overall concept of painting human-sized angel wings on a wall; she can only copyright her own creative expression of that idea into a particular fixed work of visual art.  See here for another post about this “idea/expression dichotomy” underpinning copyright law.)  Depending on the particular case, there might be some questions here about whether Rabbit Town’s version of a given work is really so similar to the original that it constitutes infringement.  (See here for a recent post about “substantial similarity” issues in copyright infringement cases.)  On the other hand, photographs of Rabbit Town do seem to show a striking resemblance between several original immersive artworks and their Indonesian imitations.
    The art world has been indelibly changed by the increasingly interconnected global marketplace of images.  (Indeed, appropriation artist Richard Prince’s controversial “New Portraits” project arguably played with themes and questions about what art looks like in our social-media-happy culture.  And our archives are full of cases involving independent artists whose work was allegedly ripped off by consumer brands who likely found their work on the internet.)  In today’s connected world, there is more opportunity than ever to copy an artist’s works without permission, and the onus in most cases remains squarely on the artist to undertake the expenditure of time, money, and energy to seek redress.

This Cancer Survivor Is Delivering Hope and Healthy Food to Others

Wendy Borden beat breast cancer, now she's delivering healthy meals to those fighting life threatening illnesses.

- Posted on Apr 20, 2017

This Cancer Survivor Is Delivering Hope and Healthy Food to Others

Wendy Borden was a year into her fight against breast cancer when she had the idea to start her own nonprofit, Revive and Thrive.

The volunteer-based organization is a kind of Meals on Wheels delivery service for those facing life threatening illnesses like Borden did back in 2012. She had just finished a Masters program in nutrition when she was diagnosed with Stage 1 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. Three weeks later, her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Borden moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan to take care of her while she prepared to face her own fight but nursing her mother, raising a three year old and dealing with her own treatment proved too much to handle. The first thing to suffer was her diet.

“It’s this crazy time in your life where you have tremendous need for nourishment but you have the least capacity to provide healthy meals for yourself,” Borden tells “Having a Masters in Nutrition, I knew how important, how vital nourishment was during my cancer treatment and recovery.  I mean, my life depended on it and I could see myself and I was like, ‘I have got to get a program around because there really isn’t anybody else.’”

She started Revive and Thrive while going through treatment, applying for her 503c in her pajamas and reaching out to local churches, hospitals and kitchens to get the organization off the ground. She modeled her nonprofit off the Ceres Community Project in California, a similar nutrition operation she learned about in college.

Soon she was working out of a local church, preparing meals for patients referred to her by social workers, nurses and doctors in the area.

Fast forward a few years and Borden’s nonprofit now serves 150 meals a week to those who need it most.

The program runs every 12 to 24 weeks depending on the need of each patient, feeding as many as 25 people in that time frame. The food and delivery service is free and the only requirements are that the person be facing a life-threatening illness, be in the delivery service area and not have any food allergies.

“It’s pretty much anybody who just needs the support,” Borden says.

She meets with each patient to get a sense of what their nutrition needs are, if the program is a good fit for them and how long they’ll need help. Then, she gets to work.

Each patient gets four entrees, a quart of soup, two salads and a healthy dessert for the week, leaving two days for them to cook on their own.

“We find that a lot of our clients say that our entrees are really huge, especially if you’re not feeling well and they’re actually freezing a lot of it,” Borden explains. “There’s room for if somebody does bring you a meal or you want to make something yourself.”

Meals are prepared and delivered every Wednesday by a group of 35 volunteers or “delivery angels” but meal prep and planning the menus happens throughout the week. One aspect of the program Borden is most proud of is the inclusion of the younger generation.

A group of teens from the area come in after school to help volunteers cook the food that will ultimately feed their clients.

“Serving meals to patients is equally important as teaching these teens to cook healthy foods, to learn healthy eating and cooking skills, leadership development, job skills, life skills and really the joy of being able to serve others in their community,” Borden says.

She works with a head chef who creates the nutrient-rich meals – think kale salads, quinoa bowls and fresh fruits – before going over the menu to make sure each meal contains the essential vitamins and proteins that a person fighting a life-threatening illness might need. The organization also works with local farmers and suppliers in the Grand Rapids area, ensuring that most of their ingredients are locally grown, hormone and chemical free. The containers they use to ship the food are made of biodegradable paper, also from a local company.

“Our whole philosophy here is that every bite counts so if they’re only getting in three bites that day – I want it to count,” Borden says. “It doesn’t need to have any fillers and additives. They’re getting enough chemicals in their bodies from chemo and other treatments and medications and so we want our food to be as nourishing as possible.”

Borden hopes to move to a bigger kitchen and provide even more meals to people in the future, but right now, she’s happy to be helping those in need.

“One of my favorite quotes from a client, she said ‘When you’re alone and dealing with cancer it can exacerbate depression and fatigue. And knowing that somebody cares about what I eat, let alone how well I eat is incredible inspiring.’ That’s what it’s all about.”

Risk aversion has put pressure on the single currency

Most major currencies are trading in negative territory against the US dollar. Only the yen is in the black, which means that the strengthening of the dollar is connected with risk aversion, which caused the decline of the Turkish lira. It had a negative impact on the stock indices and put pressure on risky assets. The New Zealand dollar is losing 0.91%, the euro - 0.36%.

Traders and investors are turning to the US dollar and the Japanese yen against the weakening of the Turkish lira. At the present time, it has fallen against the US dollar by 5.17%, to 6.78 USD. The euro fell from 1.1718 to 1.1661. Support is at 1.1658. If it does not stand, then sellers will open the path to 1.1600. The technical factor (breakdown of trend), based on geopolitical events, is a strong bearish signal.

Speech Therapy

Speech therapy assists individuals who have difficulty communicating and/or swallowing effectively. These difficulties result from stroke, traumatic brain injury, developmental delays, degenerative disease or many other related diagnoses. Speech Therapy works with individuals as an inpatient or outpatient, at home or in the skilled nursing facility. Some of the specific difficulties for adults include:

  • Slurred speech
  • Oral motor deficits
  • Finding words to express wants or needs
  • Getting the words out
  • Thought processing
  • Swallowing dysfunction affecting nutritional intake

For the pediatric population speech therapy may work with:

  • Increasing language and/or vocabulary skills
  • Articulation
  • Oral motor strengthening
  • Swallowing dysfunction

These are just some of the areas that speech therapy addresses. There may be other problems that are not mentioned that interfere with the ability to communicate wants, needs or ides effectively and/or swallow efficiently.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy works with those, who because of physical, developmental, social or emotional problems, need special assistance to lead independent, productive and satisfying lives. Occupational therapy involves the therapeutic use of self-care, work and play activities to increase:

  • Independent function
  • Enhance development
  • Prevent disability

The occupational therapist often adapt a patient’s task or environment to achieve their maximum independence and improve quality of life. Occupational therapy provides treatment in a variety of environments:

  • On an outpatient basis
  • At home

The Comprehensive Details Of Wearing Men’s Gym Wear While Working Out

Should Aadhar be made mandatory for social welfare schemes in India?

The never ending Aadhar debate is becoming interesting day by day with court hearing. When UIDAI introduced Aadhar in the UPA regime, one of the main targets was to simplify and bring ease into social welfare schemes. In the NDA era, the whole issue of making it mandatory has irked people from several sectors of society and the Supreme Court hearing on that is presently bringing up various aspects of it. Senior Advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, appearing for UIDAI and the Gujarat government, told the five bench Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra that the 12 digit national identifier brought Indians face to face with the service providers for getting the benefits. The bench didn’t seem too impressed with the idea and retorted back with its ‘exclusive’ nature.

The bench comprising Justices AK Sikri, AM Khanwilkar, DY Chandrachud and Ashok Bhushan remarked,”We are not sure if that is the best model. The individual should not be a supplicant. The state should go to him and give him benefits.” No doubt, the bench stressed on the fact that Aadhar is a mean to identify people but cannot be the only caveat to that there should be no exclusion. In other words, the Supreme Court highlighted the need to differentiate the mode to eradicate poverty and right to privacy as both are intertwined and are of paramount importance in any democratic set up. Counsel for UIDAI also referred, “The court balanced the rights in the case where fundamental right to life was involved. What are being said under section 7 of the Aadhar Act covers human rights of a lot of people of our country. This court should act as a sentinel to ensure that right to privacy is balanced with all the other rights under Article 21 that Aadhar covers.”

No doubt, the whole Aadhar debate has arrived at an important juncture where critical aspects like privacy and data protection has come to the forefront. there is no denying the fact that biometric authentication attached to every transaction of an Aadhar user is definitely going to generate huge amount of data which will necessitate the mode to protect the data. Thus from all perspectives, the Aadhar debate has come to a serious point of reference where discussions are going on in the basic level where individual rights and concern are most appreciated.

10 Tips to Assist with Weight Loss

Along with the use of Phytolean and Appestat, adopt and follow these tips to experience maximal weight-loss success:

1) Eat 7-11 servings of whole fruits and vegetables daily, while decreasing your intake of meat and dairy - This dietary practice is associated with lower Body Mass Index (BMI) ratings, according to T. Colin Campbell's comprehensive "China Study" research. Dr. Campbell's research showed that Americans eating 50-70% of their 1,950 daily calories from animal sources averaged a BMI of 27.0. The Chinese eating 90% of their 2,740 calories per day from whole plant foods averaged a BMI of 22.0.

2) Consume a minimum of 40 grams of fiber daily - In addition to supplying numerous health benefits, consuming adequate amounts of fiber helps you feel fuller on fewer calories.

3) Include healthy fats in your diet - When you deprive your body of fat, it holds on to its fat stores more voraciously. Eating healthy fats (fish, avocados, seeds, and nuts) - and using EndurOmega on a daily basis - is good for your heart, satisfies your hunger, and helps your body release and burn its fat stores more liberally and efficiently.

4) Drink a glass of water prior to each meal - The water will take up space in your stomach, increasing the feeling of fullness, helping you to consume fewer calories when you begin eating.

5) Eat more slowly - Research suggests this helps reduce the amount of food that's consumed during a meal.

6) Alter your calorie intake occasionally - Consume slightly more calories than you normally would for a day or two, then consume a bit less than normal on a couple of days. This disrupts your body's "thermostat," helping prevent it from becoming super-efficient at burning the same number of calories day after day.

7) Finish eating by 7pm - Calories consumed after that time tend to digest poorly and/or be stored as body fat, due to the body's natural drop in core body temperature measures and metabolism.

8) Brush your teeth immediately after eating - Once you take the time to brush and are enjoying the sensation of clean teeth and breath, you're less apt to indulge in after-meal snacking.

9) Workout in the morning - This raises metabolism and helps keep it elevated, allowing you to burn more calories all day long.

10) Have a glass of Hammer Whey as a mid-day snack - Containing only 80 calories per scoop, this is an easy way to bolster your daily protein intake without a lot of calories. Plus, the whey protein isolate in Hammer Whey is the richest source of BCAAs (l-leucine, l-isoleucine, and l-valine). Findings from a 2010 study reported in the online version of the Journal of Nutrition suggest that there is an association between an increased intake of BCAAs and a reduced risk of obesity and becoming overweight.

Margot tries the good life - January 2014

PUBLISHED: 10:35 14 January 2014 | UPDATED: 10:35 14 January 2014

With London now a thing of the past, resolutions for 2014 include ale brewing, chicken rearing, vegetable growing - and filling the chest freezer

Ring out the old, ring in the new as they say! Perhaps we could leave the ringing of bells for a bit later though as I fear, dear Reader, that I am starting the New Year with more of a whimper than a bang after the effects of rather too many glasses of the bubbly stuff.

Waking up to 2014 in the countryside is, thankfully, blissfully tranquil. I am hoping that the faint glimmer of memory I have of the previous evening of dancing in a fur coat to a bemused village audience was merely a dream. I can hear Jerry muttering about ‘first footers’ as I huddle on the sofa in a heap, sporting my Christmas pyjamas and sipping a Bloody Mary (purely medicinal of course). Mercifully, the girls are tiptoeing round the house, so maybe now would be a good time for quiet reflection on time spent embracing a Hampshire living?

2013 was the year that I swapped kaftans for tweed, and heels for wellies. It would be fair to say that the last four months nestled in the bosom of rural Hampshire life have presented plenty of challenges for this self-confessed old townie.

Not least grappling for three days without power following the St Jude storm at the end of October - an adventure which had us experiencing life akin to a historical re-enactment, living by candlelight and filling baths with water boiled on a camping stove.

Never have I been more grateful to have such lovely neighbours who arrived on the doorstep bearing gifts of hot water and offers of warming up by that ubiquitous country kitchen warrior, the Aga.

To be honest, I have surprised myself with my ability to adapt to whatever country life has thrown at us so far. Jerry and I quickly realised that chopping wood with an axe was beyond us - we’re not practical people - and I imagined ghoulish Hammer Horror images of one of us accidentally chopping off a limb.

So splitting logs with a sledgehammer and wood grenade is now a necessary weekly chore. Long wintry walks have led to many encounters with wildlife including a chance meeting with a badger late one night. A lost hedgehog on his great escape from a bonfire was gleefully adopted by the girls, not to mention the pigeon fledgling named Pecky who fell out of a tree and into Monty’s jaws.

The arrival of four hens to the Margot brood was our first foray into keeping livestock and Primrose, Poppy and I still haven’t tired of peeping into the nest box each day.

I can report that I have managed to commit to memory a smattering of countryside knowledge. I know the difference between bore and boar and quite unbelievably, the chest freezer which Jerry ridiculed me for acquiring has become my new best friend. Who’d have thought it?

So, what will 2014 hold for us? After all, that’s what New Year is all about – making resolutions. Well, I have made a promise to myself that I will attempt to transform a part of our jungle into a kitchen garden and Jerry is still dreaming of brewing his own pint of ale. After a hilarious lunch seated next to one of the organisers of the New Forest Show, I think that I may have had my arm twisted into trying my hand at poultry showing. ‘In for a penny, in for a pound’, as they say.

There may be a Hampshire country bumpkin in me yet!

Reduce expense claims: let your people decide what to spend

In his excellent book “Becoming a Better Boss“, Julian Birkinshaw describes a very interesting experiment at the pharma multi-national Roche. Two groups of staff, in Germany and Switzerland, were told that their travel claims were to become self-authorised.

Instead of being approved in advance and signed off afterwards, each employee would decide for themselves what was needed (though still aware of company policy). Instead of being checked, the resulting expenses would be displayed on the intranet.

Julian describes the results as “astonishing”: 45% of participants said their motivation had increased from being trusted in this way (against 6% feeling uncomfortable with the approach), and 3 in 4 said it was more efficient and took less time.

Cut the approval, Increase the trust, Get the benefit

It is clear that this change cut a lot of the paperwork and the unnecessary approval that is so common in large organisations. But what happened to the level of expenses? The team had expected them to go up but found that the reverse happened and, in one of the two groups, the cost went down substantially. When people were trusted, they took more responsibility and spent less. As one said “I hope my expenses will motivate others to spend as little as I do”!

This reminds me of when I read Bill Gates’ The Road Ahead’ almost 20 years ago. I still remember being shocked to find that part of Bill’s time was spent checking the expenses for Steve Ballmer to ensure they fell within company policy. As well as being a Microsoft Director, Ballmer owned – even then – several billion dollars of Microsoft shares and could be felt worthy of a bit of slack. I also did wonder if it was the best use of Gates’ time. (Bill told the story not to explain how he suddenly decided to start trusting Steve but instead how they’d solved it by creating a piece of software that would check the expenses automatically.)

The Roche example is one of several stories in the book, that show how you don’t need to be at the top of an organisation to improve things there. Julian argues that, if you have a clear idea and move quickly, in small steps, you can – even within a bureaucratic organisation – enable change and increase trust for those you work with.

Though the biggest surprise was his explanation of how the original meaning of bureaucracy was positive. It was popularised by the German sociologist Max Weber as a system of rules and procedures to get away from domination of what had always been done or the personality of one leader. And for much of the 20th century it was quite an effective way of organising production. Fascinating stuff and well worth a read.

One of the world’s top management gurus – at Happy Workplaces 2014

Julian Birkinshaw was chosen for the 2013 Thinkers50 list of the leading management gurus in the world (he is no.39 in the rankings). We are very lucky to have him speaking at the Happy Workplaces conference at Google on 14th May. If you want to hear him, and other great speakers, book your place here.

 Orthodontics – Harrisonburg SmileMakers

Interceptive Ortho

Interceptive Orthodontics identifies children’s teeth that are coming in crooked or crowded, usually by the age of 7. This is the best time to begin to correct problems such as dental crowding, too much space between teeth, protruding teeth and extra or missing teeth and sometimes jaw growth problems. Early dental treatment can reduce the time and sometimes eliminate the need for braces later on.

Read more about Interceptive Ortho

Orthodontic Retainers

A dental retainer is a custom-made orthodontic appliance used to keep teeth in place after dental braces are removed. Once your braces come off, your teeth need to settle into the jawbone and soft tissue that hold them in place. Made of wire and plastic, retainers keep your teeth from wandering and they help maintain the corrective effect of your braces. Teeth can also shift over time, making wearing a retainer even more important.

Wearing a retainer is especially important for children and teens, whose jaws are still developing. Regardless of age, dentists usually recommend continuing wearing the retainer in order to maintain the beautiful smile you have worked so hard to get!

For more information about the importance of orthodontic retainers, contact Harrisonburg SmileMakers at 540-432-9036.

Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment

Two-phase orthodontic treatment refers to two separate times when a child receives orthodontic treatment. The first phase of treatment is done while the child still has many or most of their primary or “baby” teeth. The second phase takes place when the child has most or all of their permanent teeth.

home_Icon.png :>>Membrane Separation Technology

Membrane Separation Technology

Membrane separation technology is considered to be “one of the most promising and promising major high-tech developments in the 21st century, and it plays a strategic role in industrial technological transformation.” Membrane separation technology refers to the separation, classification, purification or concentration of liquid or gas mixed with two components or even multiple components by the osmosis of a specific membrane driven by external energy or chemical level difference.
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a common membrane material. It has excellent anti-oxidation activity, strong thermal stability, high mechanical strength and good film-forming properties. It is widely used in people’s production and life. However, the strong hydrophobicity of PVDF itself makes it easy to block membrane pores in the membrane and other retentate in the water treatment system, which results in a decrease in water flux and anti-pollution performance during membrane filtration. Multiple cleanings reduce the service life of the membrane. These shortcomings of the membrane constrain the development and application of membrane separation technology. Therefore, in order to improve the separation performance of the membrane, increase the service life of the membrane, and to improve the operational stability, enhance the anti-pollution ability, and improve the hydrophilic properties of the membrane is particularly important. To this end, researchers often improve the membrane surface and the properties inside the membrane by hydrophilic modification to improve the filtration capacity and anti-pollution performance of the PVDF membrane.

Respecting Monk Seals when visitng Hawaii’s beaches

With Makana, the monk seal who treats Hookipa as her vacation retreat, back on the north shore beach again, marine mammal officials are reminding the public that monk seals are protected under the Endangered Species Act.

Endemic to the islands, the Hawaiian monk seals, Monachus schauinslandi, is known in Hawaii as 'ilio holo i ka uaua – the dog that goes in rough water.

It is considered critically endangered, with an estimated 1,200 animals found across the Hawaiian archipelago, according to Wende Goo of the National Marine Fisheries Service.

When a monk seal beaches, it is usually seeking to rest. People should not approach monk seals and should keep any pets away from it.

Dogs and monk seals both carry diseases that can be transmitted to each other and both will bite, Goo said.

“It is important to keep your dog on a leash and a safe distance away,” she said. “If a seal approaches you in the water, move away to avoid an interaction. Remember that these are wild animals and may bite.”

The largest populations of monk seals are found in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, which have been granted additional federal protection as the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument. But the seals have slow reproductive rates and are subject to losses from predation by sharks and from human activity, including entanglement in nets or marine debris.

Still, efforts to track the seal population around the main islands are continuing through cooperative projects involving National Marine Fisheries, the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, the state Aquatics Resources Division and volunteer research groups such as the Hawaii Wildlife Fund.

One such project is the semiannual Hawaiian Monk Seal Count, last held on Oct. 20, including volunteers on the beaches and an aerial survey. On Maui, coordinator Nicole Davis said three seals were sighted by two teams of volunteers at Hookipa and at Makena State Park. All remained in the water, and Davis said the assumption is that the seals were feeding in the reefs near the shoreline.

According to a report by David Schofield with the Marine Mammal Response Network, there were 23 sightings on Oct. 20 on the Big Island, Maui, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai, with the largest number, seven, reported on Molokai.

That was lower than the numbers reported during a seal count held in April, but Schofield noted that the April count included 10 mother-pup pairs sighted around Kalaupapa on the north shore of Molokai.

The pairs might have included Makana, who had given birth earlier this year near the Kalawao Peninsula and was sighted on the beach at the Kalaupapa settlement.

Hannah Bernard with the Hawaii Wildlife Fund said it was at least Makana's 10th pup. Pups generally are born between February and July, according to the fisheries service. They are weaned when they are 150 to 200 pounds, usually within six weeks of birth. Once the pups are weaned, they are on their own while the mothers, who may lose as much as 300 pounds while nursing, begin feeding on their own to recover.

Hazelwood Nursery & Early Years Parents
Welcome GUEST  |  Register  |  Sign in

Music is an important part in the life of Hazelwood and there is an abundance of opportunity for your child to participate whatever their ability or aspiration.
Key Stage 1
A specialist music teacher fosters an enjoyment of music through singing, percussion and musical activities. The children sing and listen using activities linked to class topics/seasons/ festivals etc. The nativity and end of term plays give children an opportunity to perform for an audience. There is also the opportunity for children to have individual music lessons which include piano, violin, percussion and singing. In addition all the children in Year 2 learn to play the recorder and can be part of a choir.

Key Stages 2 and 3

Within the curriculum, every child enjoys class music. Lessons begin in the early years with rhythm work, singing and musical games, and the children's skills are developed further in the Prep School, where pupils are able to perform and compose a wide range of both vocal and instrumental music using keyboards,acoustic instruments and, in the later years,iPads.

Under the guidance of our peripatetic music specialists, more than 200 individual lessons are scheduled each week including piano, voice and all the main orchestral instruments and guitar. We offer several choirs, music ensembles and orchestras, and performance opportunities include our weekly lunchtime concerts, ?Christmas and Summer concerts,assemblies, an annual music competition, a Christmas Carol Service in the Tonbridge School Chapel and music- drama productions in Year 2, Year 4, Year 6 and Year 8. Hazelwood children have access to workshops and masterclasses, both in house and at specialist centres,and they also work with visiting professional musicians.

Hazelwood children have participated in localand international music festivals and all children are encouraged to take Trinity and ABRSM graded examinations.

Potential areas for disputes in construction contracts

Potential areas for disputes in construction contracts
Hendershot, Cannon & Hisey, P.C.

Construction contract disputes are as old as construction itself. Cost overruns and delays probably even plagued the pharaohs of ancient Egypt: the Great Pyramid at Giza drained the Pharaoh Knufu's treasury and would cost $5 billion to duplicate today, even using modern construction techniques. According to the 2008 CIOB (the Chartered Institute of Building) study, Managing the Risk of Delayed Completion in 21st Century, 31% of high-rise and 33% of power generation projects finish more than three months late. Even with top-notch planning complications are bound to arise in a project as complex as a major construction effort. The potential areas for dispute are as diverse as construction projects themselves but tend to cluster in four general areas:

  • Delayed performance: there are many reasons that a project can get delayed. Some can be beyond the control of the parties (bad weather, unexpected shortages of necessary material) whereas others, such as unrealistic bidding, or disputes over change orders, can be attributed to one party trying to get advantage over the other.
  • Defective work: The parties can either disagree over whether the work meets the agreed-upon specifications or over responsibility for the acknowledged construction flaw.
  • Payment disputes: Under certain circumstances, a developer may withhold payment if a contractor fails to meet a deadline or deliver a substandard product. In other instances, a contractor may place a mechanic's lien on the property, which complicates -- or prevents -- any transaction related to the property (such as a sale) until payment is made.
  • Change Orders and Extra Work: As the project progresses and the development company wants changes to the plans to achieve its vision, disputes can arise over whether the changes are within the original scope of work or whether the developer should pay an additional fee.

There are complex laws and regulations that govern the construction industry and provide the framework for resolving disputes. For example, Article XVI, Section 37 of the Texas Constitution creates a right for contractors to claim an interest in the building they constructed for the value of their labor and materials. Chapter 53 of the Texas Property Code provides a detailed procedure to enforce a mechanic's lien claim. If however, a contractor does not follow the required procedures exactly, the claim can become void. The lawyers at Hendershot, Cannon & Hisey, P.C. understand the ins and outs of the mechanic's lien process and can help a developer defend against a claim for nonpayment as well as analyze the dispute to identify counter-claims for defective work or construction delays.

Not only is it important to have an experienced business litigator analyze the dispute, but choosing a forum for resolving the dispute is also an important strategic decision. Sometimes the initial contract will specify whether the architect has the final say or if the dispute will be submitted to a Dispute Resolution Board of construction industry experts. Other options include mediation, in which a trained facilitator helps the parties resolve their dispute, or arbitration, in which a neutral arbiter, often a retired judge, issues a binding decision. Litigation is always an option as well. In all of these situations, it is critical to have expert legal advice to ensure that the resolution process results in a favorable result.

Call us if we can help you resolve a dispute that is negatively impacting your construction project.

Making sense of new breast cancer screening guidelines, from Harvard Women's Health Watch

Updated breast cancer screening guidelines from the United States Preventive Services Task Force have sparked a debate about how best to use the special breast x-rays known as mammograms. The debate is likely to continue as more information comes in, technologies change, and practices are reviewed. For now, there are several things women can do to help determine what's best for them, reports the February 2010 issue of Harvard Women's Health Watch.

An expert panel re-examined the evidence on the effectiveness of breast cancer screening in women ages 40 and older who are at average risk for developing breast cancer. It concluded that mammograms, clinical breast exams, and breast self-exams should be scaled back. The most controversial recommendations were to delay starting routine mammograms from age 40 to age 50, and to check women in their 50s and 60s only once every two years, rather than every year.

Healthcare Security's Second Act - From Prevention to Resilience
America Ballroom

If you think of healthcare security as a three-act play, we are now well into the second act, and orgs that have not kept up (and there are many), face more danger than they likely imagine.

Key second act themes:

  • Healthcare orgs shift resources from prevention to incident response. It’s not if, but when you’ll be breached. To safeguard patient safety and business continuity, organizations must respond and recover quickly.
  • Information sharing has grown in importance.
  • Security leaders recognize the need to optimize existing technology rather than buy the next shiny object.
  • Automation and manage services help offset a shrinking talent pool.
  • Awareness training sits center stage.

The list goes on.

In this session, our expert speakers will discuss these and other key features of healthcare security’s second act. Importantly, they’ll provide guidance to help organizations stuck in the first act move to the second act and create a more resilient security posture.

As for the third act, they’ll have some thoughts on that, too.

New Generation of Incident Response in Healthcare
America Ballroom

Incident Response is a critical component of the security practice in all organizations, as it enables them to be prepared for the unknown as well as the known and is a reliable method for identifying a security incident immediately when it occurs. Incident response allows an organization to establish a series of best practices to stop an intrusion before it causes damage. How can each industry prepare their own IRP that supports the [1] Identification of positive security incidents, [2] Containment and limiting the damage of the incident and isolating affected systems to prevent further damage, [3] Eradication of the root cause of the incident, and [4] Recovery of affected systems back into the production environment, ensuring no threat remains. This is significant for such a heavily regulated industry such as healthcare.

Tabletop Exercise

Business Continuity After a Ransomware Attack
America Ballroom

Imagine that hackers hit your organization with ransomware and gain full access to your system. Are you prepared to respond quickly and effectively to maintain business continuity and protect patient safety? Or will you go down like the Titanic?

In this tabletop exercise, seasoned business continuity experts set the stage, alerting the “healthcare facility” that it has been hit by ransomware. Then over the next 40 minutes they’ll take attendees on a simulated exercise, outlining the critical steps required to respond successfully to the attack and maintain or restore business continuity as fast as possible.

As the speakers will make clear: Disaster planning is the difference between having the essential tools at your fingertips or not.

Key discussion points

  • How to proactively assess your facility and your business continuity program.
  • Discuss elements of an effective business continuity plan - people, processes, technology
  • How to operationalize the core elements of a business continuity plan.
  • Review CMS’s new emergency preparedness requirements for Medicare and Medicaid providers.

Security and Compliance in Healthcare
America Ballroom

Healthcare institutions and technology vendors provide vital services. Unfortunately, there has been a significant increase in cybersecurity attacks on some of these organizations which has on occasion disrupted their ability to provide their critical services. In addition, millions of patients were affected by healthcare data breaches in 2017. Healthcare data breaches can have a significant lasting impact on the affected individuals. In this session, we will discuss how Google Cloud (including Chrome, G Suite, and GCP) provides a secure platform for healthcare institutions and the steps that we take to make sure we go above and beyond compliance requirements for handling healthcare data.

The Benefits of Full Visibility
America Ballroom

When it comes to security, most organizations still focus on prevention and take a set-it-and-forget-it mentality. Prevention is ideal, but it's inherently flawed and will fail. Remember, it’s not if but when you’ll be breached.

To respond quickly and contain attacks, you need the people, processes, and technology in place to detect and stay one-step ahead of hackers.

On solution, automated continuous security monitoring, can be a life-saver, providing real-time visibility across your organization’s network.

In this session, our expert speakers will discuss the role continuous security monitoring plays in a healthcare security strategy. They’ll also review and help attendees prioritize other threat detection capabilities necessary to identify and squelch the inevitable attacks yet to come.

Cultivate C-Suite Champions with These Communication Tactics
St. George C/D

Healthcare security professionals all too often explain risks in gobbledygook that senior, non-technical leaders don’t understand – and then wonder why their initiatives go under-funded!

In this presentation, Shakira Brown, an award-winning branding and communications strategist, will help healthcare security leaders avoid this communication breakdown.

Shakira will share tried-and-true communication tactics that connect your organization’s business goals to the negative impact of a potential breach and related down time.

Most importantly, participants will learn a conversational communications approach that encourages trust with senior leaders. This in turn will create a better understanding of the business case for security initiatives and help cultivate champions among senior leaders – champions critical to achieving your goals and protecting your organization.

Respond & Recover

Evolutions in People, Processes, and Technology
America Ballroom

The changing world of cyberspace can make information security management feel like navigating travel to a distant planet. It can be daunting. Fortunately, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a cost-effective, easy to understand guide to help healthcare organizations better manage and reduce cyber risk.

In this session, speakers use the framework to guide a discussion on how healthcare security has evolved from prevention to response. Attendees will learn how security standards like the NIST CSF can be applied to respond and recover from attacks of all shapes and sizes.

Key discussion points

  • Evolutions in the people, process, and technology needed to support the NIST CSF areas for respond and recover phases.
  • Security automation tools.
  • Establish a plan to facilitate rapid, efficient response to reduce the impact of a breach.
  • Lead an internal cultural shift to change attitudes regarding breach response planning.
  • Discuss where the information security role is headed over the next 3-5 years and beyond.

Insider Threats

Clamping Down on Your Weakest Link
St. George A/B

If you are worried about insider threats, you should be.The Ponemon Institute reported this year that insider threats now account for 87% of all cyber incidents: 64% from privileged user negligence, 23% perpetrated by malicious insiders.

In other words, education at many organizations has failed – as have perimeter defenses, rendered ineffective against increasing sophisticated attacks.

In this session, a leading healthcare attorney draws on security research to show that to reduce insider threats, rather than rely on technology, healthcare organizations must change their mindset and focus more on people and process – and view employees as threat vectors and not innocent victims of cybercrime.

Attorney Barry Herrin discuss six “Big Decisions” organizations must make to mitigate this weakest link. These include:

  • Cutting the cord to social networking and personal email accounts.
  • Treating access as a privilege, not a right.
  • Deciding when to shift from education to punishment.

Barry will then moderate a group discussion with a healthcare risk-management leader and share best practices to help attendees shore up and button down their approach to mitigating insider threats.

Usable Security

Designing Human-Centered Cybersecurity
St. George C/D

We build devices, systems, and applications for real people.  Yet, in the world of cybersecurity, most regard humans as the weakest link in the chain. The notion of strong cybersecurity often equates to poor user experience and disregard for the humans who use the technology and data. This approach can weaken your organization’s security profile, generating workarounds or outright indifference.

To be most effective, security must be convenient and user-friendly.

In this session, attendees will learn how to apply human-centered design principles to an organization’s cybersecurity strategy. As our expert speakers will show, this approach improves the user experience and everyone’s security behavior.

Key takeaways:

  • Broaden your perspective on security concerns by using human-centered thinking.
  • Provide a framework for how to evaluate a situation and design human-centered solutions that support strong security.
  • Provide specific human-centered recommendations for various security scenarios.

Security Think Tank

3rd Party Risk Management Best Practices
America Ballroom

Welcome to the Think Tank!

This highly interactive and fun session leverages the audiences’ collective experience to drive greater value and takeaways. It works like this: For the first 10 minutes, each table discusses individual roadblocks and challenges with 3rd party risk management. Then a designated attendee from each table takes the floor microphone and asks our panel of experts a key question from the table discussion. The goal here is to cater to specific interests of attendees to provide the most pertinent and valuable information possible.

More and more, breach and enforcement activities against covered entities result from the actions or in-actions of third party partners. Poor engagement, oversight, monitoring and dis-engagement often leaves covered entities responsible for all of the risk, fees, and reputational fall out.

In this session, get your questions answered and learn best practices to mitigate 3rd party risk.

The Economic Costs of Cybersecurity
America Ballroom

Cybersecurity does not generate revenue, and this makes it difficult to assess how much money to allocate to a cybersecurity budget or predict the economic impact of a successful cyberattack or major breach.

But not impossible.

In this session, Partners HealthCare CISO Jigar Kadakia explains that while there is no exact science to how much money should be allocated to a security budget, it relates directly to: 1. Assessing your risk tolerance; and 2. Quantifying ROI – cost of solution versus potential cost of a breach.

Learning objectives

  • Explain how much an organization should invest in cybersecurity and how to allocate the cybersecurity budget.
  • Outline the economic impact (and potential loss) associated with a successful cyber-attack.
  • Illustrate the costs associated with a major breach of protected health information and/or sensitive information.
  • Additionally, Jigar will discuss the appeal healthcare holds for hackers, your odds of being breach (much more likely than marrying a millionaire), the assets at risk, and the potential costs of a breach to a healthcare organization.

Phishing Quiz Show

Test Your Knowledge - Learn How Not to Get Speared
America Ballroom

Phishing poses a major threat to your organization, and this interactive session will test your knowledge and provide best practices for mitigating these increasingly sophisticated attacks.

Here’s how it works: Our moderator will ask multiple-choice questions based on recently released public-private research on phishing. Attendees will answer via our real-time polling app. Finally, our panel of experts will address the questions and discuss the correct answers more in-depth.

Some sample questions:

  • What’s the difference between spear-phishing and whaling?
  • Phishing is the most common entry point for a breach? Yes or no.
  • List three factors that make people more susceptible to phishing.
  • If you suspect a phishing attack, what’s the first thing you should do?

As this session will prove, learning can be fun, and the information shared will strengthen your organization’s phishing defense.
