Coming to know….

I have just ‘come to know’, at least a bit, R.S.Thomas.  I had loved his poem ‘Here’ for a long time, which I think is also about coming to know.

I am a man now.

Pass your hand over my brow.

You can feel the place where the brains grow.

I am like a tree,

From my top bough I can see

The footprints that led up to me.

There is blood in my veins

That has run clear of the stain

Contracted in so many loins.

Why, then, are my hands this way

That they will not do as I say?

Does no God hear when I pray?

I have no where to go

The swift satellites show

The clock of my whole being is slow,

It is too late to start

For destinations not of the heart.

I must stay here with my hurt.

This last verse has been on my wall for a long time.  It is a timely reminder although time doesn’t pass very slow for me – it seems to rush by.  I have just finished reading ‘The Man who went into the West’  by Byron Rogers.  It is a wonderful biography of R.S.Thomas – who I had always thought of as being an ascetic poet, scourged by his conflicts and religious beliefs.  This book makes him human and approachable and is analytical and precise about his poetic development.  A lovely book that I just couldn’t put down.  The other exciting thing I found in this  book was information about Thomas’s wife, Mildred Elsi Eldridge.  Somehow from his poems I never thought of him as having a wife – they are so bleak and bare I imagined him a lonely, ravaged man in his remote parishes.  But his wife was amazing.

A wonderful painter whose work I had never even seen or heard of.  The inside covers of Roger’s book show parts of the great mural she painted for Oswestry hospital which at the time of writing was stored and not available to view.  Now looking her up on line there is a series of photographs of the restored and newly hung mural at the Glyndwr University.  Look at them at…mural_mildred_elsie_eldridge_wrexham  and wonder.  I haven’t been able to get them out of my mind since seeing those first small paintings in the book.

I love the fact that R.S.Thomas in his final years found laughter and lightness in a new relationship after Elsi had died and seems to have allowed the wry humour that Rogers makes clear in his anecdotes to become part of his last bit of life.  Elsi became very reclusive, and there is no doubt that R.S. Thomas had the artist’s privilege firmly in his own hands – he seems not to have taken much notice of her paintings although she earned money from them for many years.  How difficult it appears to be for two striving creators to live under the same roof, particularly if they are also poor. Someone has to put the food on the table.  I feel released into poetic space in the last bit of my life; able to take time and space to address the issues I want to think and write about, time to linger, to dream.  Although life still seems busy and demanding at one level – that is also the source and ground for thinking and writing.  Runner beans and blackberries making the ground now!

I feel overwhelmed with the double excitement of coming to know – the poet and the painter – and a painter who is so unusual.

‘It matters only in

so far as we want to be telling

Each other alive about each other

Alive. I want to be able to speak

And sing and make my soul occur

In front of the best and be respected

For that and even be understood

By the ones I like who are dead.

I would like to speak in front

Of myself with all my ears alive

And find out what it is I want.’

From What is the Language using us for?

W.S. Graham.

Yesterday I found a title for a poem that is still resolving itself but I knew as being a salute to my most loved poet W.S.Graham. The Poem ‘At Sea’ has been resolving for months. I know it’s a poem that I like and that is important, although it appears slight, but I couldn’t work together the middle of it and the reference to night fishing is not clear enough probably for making the immediate link to W.S.G unless you are very familiar with him, nor does it carry the metaphor of search for words and language that it is really about. I was sitting in the car going to Meeting at Le Moulin when the title came to me – ‘At Sea with W.S.Graham. For those catching the internal reference to night fishing it confirms their connection; it just might inspire others to look at W.S.G’s work and find the amazing twenty page poem that is an evocation of life as a fisherman, and a metaphor of the poet at work in the deep and dark, the coming of light, the mingling of day and night.

‘Within all the dead of

All my life I hear

My name spoken out

On the break of the surf.

I, in Time’s grace,

The grace of change,

Am cast into memory.

What a restless grace

To trace stillness on.’

From Part 7, Night Fishing.

This morning I read the whole of ‘What is the Language using us for?’ And ‘Night Fishing’. I feel as if my head has been scraped clean, I can smell the sea and salt is on my lips, the swell of it carries me. I will try and finish At Sea today and send it off for a Quaker Newsletter publication. Yesterday we had a small Quaker meeting (4 of us) at Le Moulin. The silence was very profound and unbroken. Light unfurled through the window, haloed the objects in the room, entered the head with its revealing beam. I half remember a verse about standing in the light of God’s grace. I must try and find the reference for it. Grace is restless and also a revelation in the silence.

I did once go night fishing and I always have the sounds and image of it in my head when I read this poem; but it was a very different experience. It was full moon; the harbour water was black and viscous. It swung the moonlight in an oily movement as the heavy wooden boat eased across the water. The boat was creaking and moving under us. I went to trail my fingers in the warm water but the fisherman caught my hand and told me it was polluted, I should not touch it.

We sailed between huge tankers and moored fishing boats out towards the moon and open water. It was still hot and sweaty although nearly midnight. The mangroves edged the water, dark openings shot with occasional slicks of light. Above us a large linen sail billowed now and then, but they switched a sputtering motor on to move us towards a space beyond the boats. We stopped and the fishermen removed some of the decking – planks an inch thick, grey and ridged along their edge. In a clay hollow they lit a twig fire; the smoke mingled with the smell of the water. There was a big basket of crabs which they had caught earlier in the fishing grounds. Greasy fingers, the taste of crab, the smell of the fire, nobody talking much, the boat rocking us into silence. It is a very strong memory. Later I walked back along the promenade to my friend’s house. We stopped at a cart selling falludah and added that rich, sweet milky taste to the Karachi night.

Sea and silence, the fishing for words and the waiting on the light. I am revising my poems now – four folders full. It is time to send these new-born babes as Ezra Pound described his poems, out into the cold day. It is interesting revising with a finality in mind. I have plastic pockets containing all the drafts of the poem and then work on a final draft on the computer using the most recent form of the poem as a base. I am only on the fifth poem of the first folder so a long way to go yet. At least I am back to my blog again – inspired by Caroline Carver who has just started blogging. Thanks Caroline!

At Sea with W.S.Graham

On sultry days

sea lays its grey arms

against the rocks, cradling them

in a slow heave.

Rough days it roisters;

we are all at sea,

rain on the windows salty

goldfish swimming in the bay.

Night fishing; the sound of water

draining through the pebbled beach,

seagulls surge up behind the boat

fingering the swell.

Stormy petrel; slices the wave.

At sea there is no calm without a tremor.

Why does it have to be like that?

My son came home and asked if I knew how to play football. Let me start out by saying, I don’t like football, I don’t play football, and I’m not too happy about the violence or view of masculinity that football promotes.  But hey, this is a teachable moment and an opportunity to spend some quality time with my son – I was definitely not going to pass this up. In the middle of conversations about passing, fumbles, and touch downs I asked him why he had never told me he was interested in football before.

His answer shook me to the core:       Because the other kids at P.E. said that I was a Faggot and an F-word idiot if I didn’t play football. They said I wasn’t a real boy and I should go play with the stupid girls because that’s where I belong.

As the tears streamed down his face, I gave him a hug. As I did that I overheard my misogynistic sexist neighbor say to his son: See that’s’ why that boy is turning out gay like that.

After all of these years trying to get people to live peacefully and for there to be equal rights between the genders,  I was right back to where I began; a snot nose kid with my masculinity in question and so was my son.

My mom made sure that respect for women and how you treat women was paramount in my raising. If I didn’t open the door for her or any other women for that matter, I felt her nails across my neck pulling me back to correct my mistake. If I even looked sideways or made a comment that suggested I had any disrespect for women, I was corrected immediately. I learned about the suffrage movement, the loss of feminine power, and the violence men dished out on a steady basis.  All that changed around 7 years old when my mother begins a relationship with a physically verbally abusive man. He was a man’s man: heavy equipment operator, cowboy, welder, hunter, beer drinking, testosterone drunk, male. What I call my “feminist education” immediately screeched to a halt.

Crying, whistling, skipping, caring for animals, feeling bad for people who got hurt, flowers, nature, and anything else that he saw was “like a girl” was eliminated immediately. If I didn’t want to eliminate it, a steady barrage of taunts, and phrases like “you’re a wous”, “little pussy”, bitch, faggot, sissy, and the one I got called the most – “momma’s boy”, flew at me with reckless abandonment. These phrases would follow me through the yard, through the doors, through the walls, and into the fights he would have with my mother about me. According to him, I was the worst kind of boy there was – “a girlie boy”.

After the taunts didn’t work to his satisfaction, the physical attacks began. It began simply enough, a smack on the back to say hello that almost dropped me to my knees. A punch in the arm that pushed four steps away to make sure I got a joke. The “two hits for flinching” game. The “hurts don’t it” game. Then at 10 came the true male education: boxing, football, wrestling and shooting.

 Step 1: Watch the game.  We sit down and I do a lot of watching him drink and yell at the TV. Then we glorify the violence on TV by slapping and hitting each other.

Step 2: Learn the rules while playing the game.  He tells me a small amount of rules of the game, we begin playing and I am advised of the rules as I get hit, beat, and thrown around the yard.  But I must always remember the more violent the better.

Step 3: Shoot and destroy Barbie. This was practice for hunting. If I could destroy Barbie with a dart gun, then I moved up weaponry until I was blasting barbies out of the air with a 12 gauge shotgun.

Throughout this education, good learning and proper manly actions were rewarded with a smack on the back that usually took my breath away and bad learning and actions were chastised with more taunts and intimidation. To put the intimidation into perspective, he was a 6 foot 7 construction worker and I was a 5 foot tall skinny middle school student.

Now my mother was a very strong woman so she added constantly to my education and my understanding of the world; and now that I look back on it all, I see that she said the right things at the right time to make me hear her over all of the “masculine” nonsense. But in her own words, she wanted someone just like her father and for a very long time she was comfortable with all of the abuse. It was like she had finally found the home she had been kicked out of at 15. Her father threw her out of the house by her hair for getting pregnant; ironically she lost the baby because of all of the stress. So she was powerless to stop him and his violence because she saw it as just boys being boys. If she said anything, she was put in her place through taunts, intimidation, and abuse. In the end, she just hugged me and told me she loved me. As much as I had been taught that hugging and lovey stuff was for girls, it was always something I took advantage of when I could get it.

My masculine education ended when I was thrown out of a window for defending another boy. My mother, I, and her boyfriend were sitting in the living room watching TV. It was a week away from my high school graduation and a newsflash came on, back when we got our news and information from the TV and not the internet. Somewhere in the Midwest a high school kid about the same age as I was openly stated he was gay. Now, I had been taught by my mother that “some boys date girls, some boys date boys, and some girls date girls” and that was that. He had never said anything about people that were gay; even though he used all the derogatory words for gay men, I never associated them with people who were gay.  I had always seen who someone dates as their choice and nothing more.  The 18 year old was jumped by a group of guys,  drug behind their pickup truck, tied to a barbed wire fence, peed on and had beer poured all over him. His wounds were so extensive that by the time they found him he had bled to death. It floored me that someone could be so cruel.

“That’s what he deserved. That’s what they should do with all them fudge packers. Damn faggots!” was the words that came out of his mouth. I can hear them as clearly now 20+ years later as that night. I spoke up, yelled, screamed, and the fight was on. In the end, I landed in a pile of glass outside my living room, and he landed himself in a drunk tank for 3 days. I left my house and all that behind till I was staring in the face of a little girl and a book mark.

At age 33, I was a divorcee, the proud father of an awesome daughter, and starring at a book mark that was being held by my girlfriend. As my small child stood there smiling, my girlfriend read off the things that were on this book mark that she said described me. As she read them, I informed her of why I did the things I did.

“tries to control me” – No I don’t. I just know the way to do things better than you do.

“is possessive” – that’s’ what dating is about. You are MY girlfriend.

“makes all decisions” – Because I know the right decisions and you don’t. If you did it would be different.

“keeps me from seeing my friends and family” – They annoy me, so if I keep them away from US. Plus, every time you go see them they say horrible things about me.  You don’t see my friends doing that, do you? Plus, why wouldn’t you want to hang out with me instead?

“always blames me” – Stop doing things to be blamed for them.

“minimizes things that are going on” – That’s because you’re an emotional  girl and make too much of things.

“threatens to leave me if I don’t do what I’m told” – Yeah, if we’re not getting along then the relationship isn’t working. Duh!

“makes me cry” – You’re a girl…an emotional mess. You decide to cry. I don’t make you do anything.

Then she read the bottom: If you recognize any of these warning signs, you are probably in a abusive relationship. She looked at me and said, guess what you’re an abuser. What? How did this happen? The one thing I was trying to avoid. The one thing I was running away from. How did I get here?  Then my daughter saw that I was getting angry and started crying. I yelled, “Stop crying. You have nothing to cry about! Crying is stupid!”  She cried more and I yelled more. I walked past the mirror and there I was – the exact man I never wanted to be.

My 3 year old cried herself to sleep and I later went in to check on her. As she lay there with her tear stained pillow and cheeks I picked up a pink Barbie notebook filled with scribbles and flipped to a blank page. I began writing down the characteristics of the type of man I wanted my little girl to marry. I wanted her to marry a man just like me, but the characteristics I put down were not the man I was. They were the man I could have been. They were of the man I wanted me to be. That night the girlfriend left, and I am glad she did. Her parents raised her right; raised her to see when she was in an abusive relationship, even if it didn’t involve physical violence. I think the bookmark was all she needed to remind her of whom she was and where she didn’t need to be. My life and the way I lived it changed that night.

I hugged my little boy tighter and tighter. I pulled him close to me and gave him a great big kiss, all the things that the “bro code” says I’m not supposed to do to a man or a boy. As his face smooshed into my chest, I cried. I cried because I knew where he was. I cried because I knew how he felt on that school field. I cried because he would have to go through all of this and it’s not any easier looking on this side of growing up then his side. I cried because he should be allowed to be exactly that wonderful, imperfect boy he is; the same boy we all are. I cried because I don’t want him to be judged or pushed into thinking a certain way.  I cried because no matter what I say to him, his peers will push, punch, and yell louder.  I cried because this isn’t the first time he has been judged for his masculinity. I cried because his sisters will be forced to be with men like those boys that made him hurt, and they will hurt them.  I cried because I wish I had a Dad like me. I cried because it doesn’t have to be this way.

But I honestly wonder why does this exist? Why is it that men need to live in this shell of violent masculinity? Why do so many men see this as the right way to be? Why do so many men uphold this power and control driven way of being? Why must men force other men to be “just like them”? Where did men see this as the right way of being?  I’m fortunate to have seen firsthand what boys experience unconsciously and there is a need to prevent this type of brain washing and sexist socialization.

No, I don’t have all the answers. No, I don’t even have the answers to all of my questions.   But I do know a solution; a solution that all of us men can use. I took hold of my son’s shoulders and we wiped each other’s tears away. I told him what he needed to do:

You need to be a real man! A real man has empathy for others, feels his emotions, and wants to help others in trouble no matter what that trouble is. Real men look for ways to promote nonviolence and uplift all people. Real men look for solutions to the problems the world is having right now. Real men don’t bully, demean, or use violence; those things have never helped the world. Real men educate other men about respect, kindness and empathy. Remember, respect is treating others how THEY want to be treated, as long as it’s not violent. Real men stand up for what is right, even when everyone else is doing the wrong thing.  Real men use their knowledge and their strength to help and assist women, not lead and control them.  As we walked into the house I pondered the questions I still hadn’t answered. But you know, if all men stood up, spoke up, and began being a “real man” – I wonder if those questions wouldn’t become obsolete….I’d like to think so.

Visual Communication and Design

As a child, I remember being outside and wondering how all of these pretty dots appeared in the sky. Growing up, I began to learn how those dots formed images. I taught myself how to find the basics; the big dipper, the little dipper, Orion, and Cassiopeia.While in high school I took an Astronomy course, and fell more in love with the night sky. Those stars that form the images in the sky, they have stories. And the sky has a night of adventures to give us. According to Livescience.com, 20% of Americans confuse Astrology and Astronomy. That’s about 1 in 5 Americans, which really surprised me. So, I have created a book with illustrated constellations that include their mythological stories. The book is aimed towards young adults, creating an engaging way to learn about the constellations and their stories. Books on astronomy are usually boring, with outdated illustrations and language. I retold the stories in a way that is better understood, in a language used in today’s society; this way people can become more engaged and inspired to continue learning more. This is not to be confused as a guide to locating the stars and constellations but more so learning the history and mythological stories behind those stars in our sky through imagery, illustrations, and of course stories. The sky has so much entertainment to offer us, yet so many people have no idea of the stories that encompass the constellations. I believe that young adults who become excited about these stories might then be motivated to learn more about astronomy and the scientific wonders of our universe.

Ejisuman SHS Board denies damning media reports

The Governing Board of Ejisuman Senior High School (SHS) has profusely denied that teachers in the school are sexually involved with the students.

It said this was unfounded – completely false and asked anybody with a shred of evidence to come forward.

The Reverend Father Dr. Paul Attah Nsiah, the Chairman, told a press conference held in Ejisu that no such thing was happening in the school and that they were deeply upset by the media report.

He added that claims that it had also dismissed three final year students and prevented them from registering for this year’s West Africa Senior High School Examination (WASSCE) was inaccurate.

According to them, is one Nana Kofi Poku, the Nkosohene of Ejisu who is behind these series of allegations in order to undermine the image of the school, hence the public should disregard these allegations.

It was reported that Teachers of Ejisuman SHS are having sexual affairs with the female students of the school and and also three ESEC students dismissed indefinitely alleged that they were forbidden from registering for the WASSCE examination.

But addressing the media at a press Conference on Wednesday, 24 January, 2018, the Board Chairman of the school, Rev. Fr. Dr. Paul Attah – Nsiah stated that there was truth in the publication after a broad consultation with the district education directorate and the school authorities.

” The Teachers have vehemently denied any allegation of sexual misconduct with a student. Let anyone with evidence come up and give it” He said.

To this end, the Board are appealing to the National Security and the Ministry of Gender Children and Social protection to come into the matter.

“the Chronicle Newspaper’s front headline report yesterday with the caption ‘Tutors ‘feast’ on Ejisu SHS Girls’ was truly distressing and disheartening. Another episode that appeared yesterday, 23, 2018 at the ultimatefmonline. com with the caption ‘I had sex with my teachers to pay my 100 ghana cedis fees – Ejisuman SHS student’ without any story is also a serious issue to let go without serious investigation” Father Attah – Nsiah fumed.

” We are therefore passionately petitioning the National Security and the Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection and any other Human Right Groups to come in to make sure that these serious allegations are properly investigated” he appealed.

The three, he said, had been suspended and that this was done in accordance with due process.

He indicated that two of the students had been registered for the examination but their other colleague, who was owing the school GH?2,672.00 in fees could not and the decision came from her parents.

He accused the Nkosuohene of Ejisu, Nana Kofi Poku, of waging a campaign to damage the image of the school.

He claimed that the sub chief was peeved at the rejection of his nomination to serve on the governing board and doing everything to give the SHS a bad name.

The Rev Fr Dr. Nsiah said, the Nkosuohene, had never forgiven the school and that they had never known peace since he was denied the opportunity to serve on the board – meddling in the running of the SHS and inciting students to break school rules and regulations.

He cited an instance where the sub chief reported a teacher to the Ejisu police for seizing a phone from a student because he did not understand why students should not be allowed to carry phones and iPads to the school.

The other time, he was in the school to invoke curses on the disciplinary committee for recommending that a boarding student, should be made a day student for attempting to physically assault a housemistress.

Nana Poku, however, denied any wrongdoing and said as Nkosuohene (development chief), he wanted that best for the Ejisu Traditional Area.

Fairtrade Cotton in the Oxford University Shop

February 3, 2006

The Oxford University Students Union (OUSU) ethics committee worked with Oxford Limited, the trading arm of Oxford University, to explore options for using Fairtrade products in the University Shop and internal sales.

In February 2006 the University trialled a range of Fairtrade Cotton clothing, with the intention of moving towards Fairtrade and ethically sourced cotton for all official University products.

This followed a successful ‘procurement day’ organised the the OUSU ethics committee and Oxford Student Fairtrade Coalition where a number of producers and retailers, including a representative of the Indian Federation for Fairtrade and Development (IFFAD) specially invited from Madras, were in conversation with Oxford Ltd about how it could source and use more Fairtrade and fairly traded products.

When to See the Doctor About Your Child’s Bedwetting

Bedwetting | See the Doctor About Your Child’s Bedwetting | Pacific Urology

What ages are normal for bedwetting in children?

Children are often potty trained between ages 2 and 4, though during this period of time they tend to be unable to stay dry through the night. We distinguish this as primary bedwetting, meaning that their nervous systems aren’t yet mature enough to wake themselves when the urge to urinate arrives.

Around 40 percent of 3 year olds wet the bed, but as their nervous systems develop they begin to wake to use the restroom. By ages 5 and 6 around 85 percent of children are able to curb the urge to urinate during the night.

How frequent is bedwetting to be considered abnormal?

When children are still in the potty-training stage, bedwetting is likely to be a nightly occurrence. As children age, their nervous system matures and bedwetting should begin to occur less frequently. Around age 7, if your child is still wetting the bed more than two to three times a week, we recommend that he or she see a specialist. This will help in detecting if there are any underlying issues.

Incontinence in Children

What are the treatment options for bedwetting?

When bedwetting is frequent at a young age there are multiple methods that can be attempted to curb the urge to urinate in the night. A very simple, yet effective treatment entails monitoring the amount of fluids your child is drinking before bed and in the afternoon.

Limiting the amount of liquid children drink after 3 p.m. will limit the amount of urine they will need to store during the night. Making sure your child is using the restroom right before he or she goes to bed will also help to relieve the urgency until morning. Rewarding your children with simple things, such as stickers and keeping night lights in their room and near the toilet, helps encourage them to make it to the restroom at night.

If simple methods as previously mentioned aren’t working for your child, you may try a bedwetting alarm. These operate with a moisture sensor located in your child’s pajamas that is attached to an alarm placed near the shoulder. When the child begins to urinate, the alarm will sound and wake him up so that he’s capable of using the restroom to finish urinating.

What else could be causing my child’s bedwetting?

Secondary bedwetting is when your child has an outside disease or condition that is causing the accidents. Type 1 diabetes is a potential cause because individuals with this condition have excess blood sugar, and as a consequence the body creates more urine.

Urinary tract infections are also a potential cause of bedwetting incidents. Due to the lower abdominal pain and bladder infection, individuals will have to urinate more frequently and more urgently. Another cause is neurological or emotional stress. Changes in the delicate nervous system, as well as any home or school stress, can create disruption in the body and cause bedwetting.

When should I consult a doctor about my child’s bedwetting?

When children are over age 6 and wetting the bed more than two to three times a week and home treatment is not working, consulting a doctor is your next step. If your child is wetting the bed at any age and seems to have other symptoms previously mentioned (diabetes, a urinary tract infection or stress of any kind) then make an appointment with a urologist to find the underlying cause affecting your child.

Everything m Lyttelton was quiet yesterday. The rain has, to a certain extent, stopped the working of perishable cargoes. Mr Peter Brown, the Lyttelton wharf laborers' delegate to the Maritime Council, left Lyttolton for Dunedin. There was a meeting of the sailors working on the ships m port on Saturday, and they agreed not to york any more cargoes, but the resolution doe's riot seem to have been carried out, as they .worked cargoes the same as yesterday. With reference to this it may be stated that the sailors are being paid extra for the work they are doing, and have nothing to gain by refusing to work the ships' cargoes. Twenty-seven non-unipnists went to Wellington to work the Arawa at that port and come to Lyttelton to work her. , Messrs Anderson and Sons of the Can terbury Foundry have had to dismiss fifteen of their Lyttelton hands owing to the want of fuel-i to carry on the extra work they were engaged m. The railway servants are averse to the reorganisation of theirsociety is demanded by the Commissioners, as it is suicidal to the present Society m more ways than one. They feel that a Society formed under the auspices as it were of {jfts

Commission era would have hut limited I powers, and consequently they think ho j of little benefit to them. Auckland, September 22. The price of bread is rodaced a half penny per 21b loaf. The bakeis expect a reduction m the price of flour. Gkkymouth, September 22. At the meeting m the Town H.ill at 11 o'clock this morning, the Mayor m the chair, the speeches were brief. It was insinuated that Government by removing the tug at the present juncture was playing into the hands of the monopolists. It wns said the Maritime Council was arranging for chartering vessels for tins port, and taking away the tug would embarrass them.—lt was resolved—l. " That m the opinion of this meeting the fiction of the Harbor Brw-l hi removing the tug to Westport U dos.-imenlal to the interests of the port and r»>, teeing that a large number of sailing vessels are owning to the port at the present time." 2." "If a reduction m the expenditure is deemed necessary, this meeting is of opinion that the tug can with equal safety be laid up at Greymouth, where her services must be from time to time required. On such occasions she could be manned by the Harbor Department at a very small cost." The foregoing resolutions were wired to the Premier. At a large meeting of miners at Brunnerton this forenoon the following resolutions were carried unanimously :—(1) That no more coals be supplied to the Union Company's boats ; (2) that objections be made it© the Government re the removal of the tug Westland ; (3) that provisions and money be distributed to those most m need ; (4) that all tools be fetched out of the mine by nine o'clock to-morrow morning ; (5) that Executive select members to attend meeting to bo held at Greymouth this evening ; (6) that this Association assist others m the Grey m the selection of a member for Parliament. If the blacklegs are introduced into the mines it is considered very probable that all the engine drivers will be called out. A densely packed meeting at the Public Hall to-night was addressed by the leading Brunner miners. The following resolutions were passed :—" 1. That this meeting strongly protests against the Government's action m making a display of force amongst peaceful citizens, and regards it more as a menace calculated to cause a disturbance than allay antagonistic feeling, and the Government's action m concentrating a force at Greymouth and withdrawing the tug gives color to the general feeling that they are supporting the employers against the employees ; (2) that m the opinion of this meeting the Grey Valley Coal Company are to blame for breaking their pledge to the Miners' Association, as joining the Shipping Companies against the Unionists is detrimental to the interests of the Valley ; (3) that it is expedient that a mass meeting be called by the inhabitants of the Grey Valley to consider the present labor difficulty on Wednesday next." Most of the speakers contended that the Government and the Railway Commissioners were working m the interests of the Union Company. Dunedin, September 22. John Clune, one of the men arrested for assaulting non-Unionists on and about the wharf, was to-day fined £5 or a month's imprisonment and bound over to keep the peace for six months. Two others are to appear m connection with these assaults, which have been so frequent that most of the non-Unionists have provided themselves with firearms. Wellington, September 22. A Labor Conference has been convened for Wednesday, October Ist. The Union Company have decided to revert to the old weekly service from Dunedin to Manukau, but will only run a fortnightly service to Melbourne and Sydney until the summer sets m. The Shipwrights Society, which recently reso'ved that no work should be done for the Union Company, have rescinded that motion, and have now decided that any member be free to work for any employer he choose. A meeting of storemen, attended by 60 men, resolved to adhere to their allegiance to the Trades and Labor Council. The permanent malitia have been withdrawn from street duty. A dispute arose between some Maoris on Saturday night at Greytown North, when it is alleged one of them, who is a volunteer, drew his sword and inflicted wounds on three persons before he was disarmed. The constable from that district, who had been on duty m Wellington during the labor struggle, returned to Greytown this morning. The proposed conference between employers and employed is to be held here on Wednesday, Ist October,

Adult & Senior Golf Leagues in Victor, NY

If you’re craving a little friendly competition in your life, starting or joining a golf league can satisfy that urge. Golf is one of few sports that is played by hitting one shot at a time, so it lends itself to lots of conversation between shots. We believe some of the best memories you have while playing golf is who you share a round with, and at Parkview Fairways Golf Course, we want to cultivate and encourage that environment.

Our leagues tee off Monday-Thursday between 4 PM and 6 PM, and will play nine holes alternating between the front nine and the back nine on alternating weeks. Our senior leagues play weekday mornings. Leagues can also be scheduled for any day of the week. For instance, if you wanted your league to play every other Saturday, we can accommodate that!

Parkview Fairways Golf Course would love to host your golf league. For more details on the services we provide or for more information, please contact us at 585-657-7539.

Big changes coming

I have a brand new site design up and running at WPEngine. I’m about to change DNS settings for patrickfoley.com to point to the new site, and then I have a big announcement to make … so if you see this in your RSS reader but don’t see the new site by Thursday morning, please send me an email at pf@patrickfoley.com to let me know. Thanks!

Picture by Plauto Da Silva

It’s a new gymnastics season! Gus’s first meet was last weekend, and he did great – 2nd All Around for Level 5 JrB (full scores). As I always tell him, I’m more proud of the work he put in than the results – if you do the work, the results will come. After last season, he bumped up to 11 hours of practice per week! That’s 5 hours more than last year, and he’s embraced it. He loves the sport – he spins on his mushroom at home constantly, often while watching videos of gymnastics champions.

This year, I’m trying to streamline my video production process, so I’m not assembling everything into one video. Instead, I’m uploading each event separately. So here you go:

As a bonus, one of the other dads, Plauto Da Silva (his son, Patrick, is a wonderful level 6 gymnast) took some incredible photos. When those are back up, I’ll send a link.

Tribbon time

Hey there – Jody and I launched Tribbon last week, and most of my non-family blogging is going to happen in that context. You can read all about my latest learning (read: failing and continuing) in my launch post.

Bob and I had a true luminary on our podcast this week – Steve Blank, the founder of the principles of Customer Development. I was a little star struck! Prof. Blank is one of the most important entrepreneurial thinkers of our time … I felt so lucky to have the opportunity to speak with him.

While reviewing his first book and talking with him, I came up with a summary of the most important lesson for a software developer like me who wants to be an entrepreneur – focus on WHO, not WHAT.

I just had dinner with some other programmer/entrepreneur friends, and I saw the same impulse in them … it’s so exciting to focus on the product – the WHAT – that it’s hard to focus on the customer – the WHO. It’s not enough to build a cool product. You have to be able to find the person who will buy it. It’s all about the WHO.

The real pleasure of getting to meet my heroes like Steve Blank is just getting the sense of who they are as people. My impression of Steve Blank is that he is very kind. He really cares about helping entrepreneurs learn and succeed.

I hope you listen to the show. It’s one of my favorites that we’ve done. Also be sure to buy Prof. Blank’s just released book, The Startup Owner’s Manual.

Bob and I released Show #133 of the Startup Success Podcast yesterday, featuring an interview with Sailesh Ramasray of BizFusion, a full-featured accounting system for small businesses.

My favorite insight from the interview is that most businesses should internationalize but do so by taking advantage of English as a common language. It’s not that difficult to add new markets, so you should probably look into it.

Sailesh’s approach to BizFusion reminds me somewhat of Michael Sliwinski’s approach to Nozbe. I’m going to have to figure out how to describe what makes them similar to me <stroking chin> …

How geeky

I’m going to be heading down to South By Southwest in a couple of weeks, and I am stoked … I’m even going to be taking the Startup Bus!

Unfortunately, I’m going to have to miss one of my son’s gymnastics meets. He has ten this year, so making 90% is a decent percentage, but the fact is I HATE missing this.

As I mentioned not too long ago, most problems can be solved with a specific amount of money, and this is such a problem. I could

  • Fly back from the conference for the meet, rent a car (it’s in Detroit) and fly back to the conference. Cost – about $1,200 and it  would cause me to miss 20% of the conference, which is a problem for work.
  • Teach my wife how to use the Flip video camera and have her record everything for me. Cost – nothing.
  • Teach my wife how to set up a laptop with a good video camera and stream the event to me live via Skype. Cost – almost nothing (I might have to borrow a mifi). The real problem here is that I would be expecting my wife to handle A/V issues that I normally handle myself. That’s not going to happen
  • Buy my wife a tablet with a built in video camera so that she can stream the event to me live via Skype. Cost – $300-1000 depending on which tablet I get.
    • I could get a “Windows 8” ready x64 tablet, but that would wind up being a toy for me
    • I could buy Paula an iPad or Android tablet (like the 7” Samsung) – that latter option is pretty tempting
  • I could borrow a tablet. Cost – $0 (plus some sort of favor in return, I suppose)

I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to do at this point. Seeing the video would be cool, but I really want to stream it live.

Next step: checking out the wifi quality at the venue …

Bad ideas

The most common obstacle (excuse?) I hear for someone not creating a startup is, “I don’t have a good idea.” Well … so what? Maybe you should work on a bad idea instead.

Jason Cohen suggests your idea probably is bad, even if you think it’s good – but hey, you have to start somewhere, so you should probably go ahead and pursue it.

I’m beginning to think that it’s better to pursue an idea that you KNOW is bad than to pursue nothing at all. After all, if the goal of Lean Startup is to validate that your idea is good, couldn’t there also be value in validating that your idea is bad? There is a certain amount of learning how to measure that goes into creating a startup these days, and you can learn a lot by proving that your idea doesn’t meet the measurement thresholds you required for a success (most importantly, that revenue > costs). In some ways, your emotional skepticism about your bad idea will help you learn more about the process – it will help you stay objective. I suppose there’s always the possibility that your idea turns out to be good, but it’s more likely that you’ll spot a good idea right next to your bad idea.

If you have no idea at all, then just pick a space you like and start exploring. I’m interested in scheduling, email productivity, educational phone apps, “personal relationship management,” and a lot of other spaces. Pick a space at that scope, then talk to friends about possible ideas. Just pick the first specific idea that comes to mind. Do some basic customer development by talking to customers in that space or follow the process that Rob Walling recommends for a more self-serve product. The process itself should open your mind to more ideas – and as you evaluate them, one of them is bound to be a good one.

Recent Social Robotics Conferences

In the past couple of weeks, I've been fortunate enough to attend a couple of conferences concerned with social robotics - one of the main foci of my research work. Attending conferences is always an enlightening experience for a range of reasons - catching up with familiar faces, meeting new ones, and getting new insights and perspectives on various aspects of my work.

The first of these was a new conference, called New Friends. It is generally focused on social (though not always) robots for therapy and education applications, though the majority of work seemed to be more related to therapy, with quite a number of practitioners present, in addition to the more robotics-oriented researchers and organisations. As the first iteration, it was relatively small, though I am intrigued to see how it develops: for now, the second edition has been arranged to take place in Barcelona next year. I presented a short paper on some ongoing work I'm conducting on the potential use of touchscreens to characterise behaviour of children with ASD as they interact with a robot. If you're interested, you can find the paper here (paper number 27 in the oral sessions section). The abstract is as follows:
Robots are finding increasing application in the domain of ASD therapy as they provide a number of advantageous properties such as replicability and controllable expressivity. In this abstract we introduce a role for touchscreens that act as mediating devices in therapeutic robot-child interactions. Informed by extensive work with neurotypical children in educational contexts, an initial study using a touchscreen mediator in support of robot assisted ASD therapy was conducted to examine the feasibility of this approach, in so doing demonstrating how this application provides a number of technical and potentially therapeutic advantages.
The second conference was the International Conference on Social Robotics, a far more established conference, this time in its seventh iteration. Bigger, but not by much, this conference does cover a wide range of topics and approaches, with nominally social robots being the common factor. Both the PhD students I co-supervise presented papers (which can be found here and here), which was great, and which seemed to be received well. I myself presented at the WONDER workshop some random thoughts squished into the semblance of a coherent argument about the wider implications of robots in classrooms. The paper can be found here, with the following abstract:
Robots are being increasingly used in schools by researchers keen to assess how they may be used to facilitate learning and provide support. Based on 15 school experiment visits at 9 different schools in the U.K., we outline our observations, specifically focusing on the broader implications of robots in the classroom primarily from the perspective of the teacher. We then outline the basis for future research considerations in HRI, centred around the three themes of pedagogy, methodology, and ethics. For further application of robotics to education, we suggest that these three themes need to form a central part of continuing research.

Shedding Light on Night Blindness

admin Pepose Info

It’s no surprise that most people don’t see well in the dark. However, some people have considerable difficulty seeing at night or in poor light. This is called night blindness (eye doctors call it nyctalopia). Night blindness doesn’t mean you are completely unable to see at night, but that your vision is poorer then. It is not a disease in itself, but instead is a symptom of some other type of vision problem.

In some cases, being very nearsighted (myopic) can make it hard to see at night or in low light.

Certain cells in the eye’s retina are responsible for allowing you to see in dim light. If these cells are affected by a disease or condition, night blindness occurs.

Some of the eye conditions that can cause night blindness include:

  • Nearsightedness (seeing well up close but not far away)
  • Glaucoma (a disease of the optic nerve connecting the eye to the brain)
  • Medicine for glaucoma that constricts (narrows) the pupil
  • Cataracts (cloudiness of the eye’s naturally clear lens)
  • Diabetes (uncontrolled blood sugar levels)
  • Retinitis pigmentosa (an eye disease that causes blindness)
  • Too little Vitamin A
  • Keratoconus (having a cornea that is very steeply curved)

Is bumping and tripping through your darkened house normal or a symptom of something else?

If you aren’t sure whether you have night blindness, consider the following questions:

  • Do you find yourself having trouble moving around your house at night, even with small night lights?
  • Is driving at night becoming more difficult?
  • Do you avoid going outside at night for fear of tripping?
  • Do you have trouble recognizing people’s faces in darkened settings?
  • Does it take your eyes a long time to adjust to light when coming in from the darkness?
  • Similarly, does it take you a long time to adjust to seeing anything in a darkened room?

If you have any concerns about your ability to see in the dark or in dim light, please make an appointment with us. Having a comprehensive eye exam will help identify any condition affecting your vision and help protect the health of your eyes.

May you rest in peace.

Oh, No I Didn’t~

October 21, 2017 — Leave a comment

Yes, I did. xD

This is the actual first time I’ve ever given my info to MAMA. LOL

The only blind-votes are for Best New Male Artist, Male Groups categories, and I wasn’t too in love with any of the MV nominees.

Do vote for HYUKOH, Bolbbalgan4, IU, Hyori, SNSD, Chungha, Zico and F.O elder YJS xD ^^

Also do vote for the dumb European MTV Awards and their buzz-grabbing international awards for Best Korean Act, on top votes for KOHH or Suiyoubi no Campanella for Best Japan Acts, and Henry Zuo [1] for Best Greater China Act. I thought I was old AF, and done with MTV and EMA stuff, but I guess not. LOL

And if EMA history serves me right, well~ and Henry Zuo passes to the next rounds. He’s gonna win it, just like Chris Lee did, just like BiBi and Jane Zhang. Coz, you know. China. LOL And I don’t wanna see y’all moaning.

Bless their hearts.

Mamamoo and being a Moomoo has made me realize that I should be a better fan to my idols, so I’ve been reconnecting with my Everlasting roots. Bless Brown Eyed Girls, bless JeA, bless Miryo, bless Narsha and bless GaIn. They were my original favorites back when I got into Kpop, but never had enough to really get into them. I swear, if there was a MamamooTrans version of BEG back then, I would totally be a hardcore Everlasting.

BEG are so SO funny, I’ve been recently watching their Mepsi appearance, and I don’t even have an interest in makeup or actually get half the show since it’s a mix of Korean with Chinese subs, and my makeup-beauty Chinese vocabulary is poor. LOL I caught a glimpse of them learning Mandarin and I couldn’t resist, though. I’m usually a JeA racoon-leader stan [1][2], but I’ve gotten acquainted with my new-found love for Miryo. I really lost it when she try telling her model that she’d be doing her eye makeup, but came out as “Wo EYE Ni” xD

Then there was their presentation on Weekly Idol, of course. Weekly Idol was one of the shows that got me into Mamamoo as well, and I remember watching BEG’s and finding it hilarious. They can be so much alike in their Random Play, but also comically true Adult-dols, especially JeA and Narsha asking for Red Ginseng and Oriental Raisin Water xDDDDDDD

Of course I’m still hung up on the perfection that was Sixth Sense, I do not regret buying the regular version AND the collector repackage. It’s really my most precious BEG possession.

Also! Request for having a show with Mamamoo or BEG where they learn a language. There’s actually several shows on NHK where idols/actors learn French, Spanish and Chinese (and various English language shows), so this can totally be a concept.

Confession; I had been considering revoking my 24/7 moomoo status for a more casual one where I would just listen to the good music, but that doesn’t seem the case after Mamamoo’s Purple Party in Taiwan this weekend. LOL They won’t let me.

I had been considering it because, though my music consumption has gone up, I need to increase my movie consumption. I also need to find the time to exercise once again, which I could easily do while watching movies, but can’t while watching Mamamoo fancams. LOL You’re watching fancams for a reason, you can’t NOT watch them without missing details. They also seem to be doing well financially to the point that they can afford brand stuff that I can’t or would be willing to afford xD

However, after the Taiwan event with fans and listening (then watching) Solar be so moved, asking whether she deserves all this love, it seems unlikely in the near future that I’d be soft ‘drop’ them. I also wanna give a shout out to the Mamamoo Taiwan MooMoo Union because- JOB WELL DONE, you guys~ teaching the fanchants, and doing the event, feeding the staff and even the journalists. You guys did amazing, pushing the bar for fans to behave and show their idols all your love~ You guys make me want to be a better Moomoo.

Also, the Taiwan MC. Super fun. Repeat after teacher. xD

And last, but not least, streamers. What would we do without you, guys.

I started listening to Chen Weilun (陈伟伦)’s album, Think Miss Sorrow (念思愁), which just came out last week. While adding it to my iTunes library, it struck me how difficult it was to translate the song names. xD

For those who don’t know because you’ve just stumble upon this post, I usually keep a very organized library of foreign music, which includes ‘Original Name (romanization) – English Name/Translation’; so I was looking if there were official English titles for the songs on Chen Weilun’s album available on Xiami, KKBox or iNDIEVOX. There were not. On my search, already on title #3, I realized they were all titles (or most are, I haven’t gone through all of them yet xDDDDD) for Li Qingzhao (李清照), who is known as the greatest Chinese female poet of the Song Dynasty, mostly for her ci (词)/lyrics form of poetry [1][2].

So this is going to be a (hopefully brief) project to translate just the song names xDDDDDDDD

  1. 一剪梅·红藕香残玉簟秋
    A Twig of Plum Blossoms: The Jade-like Mat Feels Autumn’s Cold [1][2]
  2. 念奴娇·春情
    The Charm of Nien-nu: Spring Feelings [1][2]
  3. 如梦令·常记溪亭日暮
    Like a Dream: I Will Always Recall that Day at Dusk, the Pavilion by the Creek [1][2]
  4. 相见欢·无言独上西楼
    Happy Meeting: Wordless, A Lone Ascend Up the West Tower [1][2]
  5. 浪淘沙令·帘外雨潺潺
    Waves Against Sand: As the Rain Patters Outside the Drapes [1][2][3]
  6. 声声慢·寻寻觅觅
    The Sounds of Adagio: Searching and Searching [1]
  7. 渔家傲·秋思
    Fisherman’s Pride: Autumn Thoughts [1][2]
  8. 行香子·述怀
    Incense Burning: Describing my Emotions [1][2]

I only got three so far. xD

App Store iOS 7 loophole

August 24, 2015

When we first released Warblr we had a few angry customers complaining the app crashed as soon as they loaded it up. Of course we wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible, especially since Warlbr is a paid app.

From talking to the users with the issue we found many of them were using the iPhone 4. Users with newer iPhones experiencing the problem were using iOS 7. Our research confirmed the newest operating system the iPhone 4 can support is iOS 7.

We could advise the people with newer models to upgrade to iOS 8 but this wouldn’t work for the iPhone 4 users. The confusing thing was the app had been approved by Apple App Store.

Emulating iOS 7

The iPhone 4S is the oldest device you can emulate with Xcode 6.4, so this is what we’d tested the app with. Out of the box the iPhone 4S simulator runs with iOS 8.4. You can download an iOS 7.1 simulator by going into:

XCode -> Preferences -> Downloads

Xcode preferences downloads Now grab yourself a coffee, the download takes a while. Once it’s done open up the iOS simulator.

iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> Device -> Manage Devices

Xcode simulators Click the plus icon in the bottom right hand corner of this screen to add a new simulated device running iOS 7. The new device will now appear in the list of devices that Xcode can run your app on.

Xcoder run on

As far as I can tell you can only get emulators for older versions of iOS not older hardware such as the iPhone 4. Thankfully I was able to recreate the crashing bug with iOS 7, running on any device.

Fixing iOS 7 crash

It turns out the technique to access the users location changed in iOS 8. Below is the fixed code.

override func viewDidLoad() {
    let Device = UIDevice.currentDevice()
    let iosVersion = NSString(string: Device.systemVersion).doubleValue

    locationManager.delegate = self
    if iosVersion >= 8 {
    locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest

The above code is used in a view controller that implements CLLocationManagerDelegate.

When building apps it’s best to have physical versions of older Apple Devices running older versions of iOS.

I found it strange that Apple didn’t catch the iOS 7 bug during the approval process. The Apple App Store review process is notoriously slow and painful, Warblr was rejected twice before it was approved. However no problems with iOS were mentioned.

I can only conclude that Apple don’t test the App on older devices or older versions of iOS. My theory is they don’t particularly care about users on old versions of their operating systems and users who use older hardware.

If you'd lke to contact me about this article then use twitter @petexgraham or email

The quality of caretaking is the quality of life
In Germany there are approximately 2.2 million persons who need medical care. 1.5 million of them receive assistance at home (out-patient), and 700 000 in caretaking centers (in-patient). These persons must receive care depending on their needs for personal assistance and the necessities according to the present level of knowledge in the medical field and in caretaking. The caretaking standards are to be found in the Act concerning health care and in the contracts that have been concluded based on these standards. The medical department verifies by unannounced visits if these quality requirements are truly met.

Verifying the in-patient units and the out-patient care services
The medical department verifies the quality of the health care in the in-patient centers and for the out-patient caretaking services. The services offered by the caretaking services and their quality are evaluated by grades and the results are published on the Internet and displayed at the caretaking centers. The conventions concerning transparency establish the criteria concerning their verification and publishing.

The verification criteria which enable the measurement of quality
There are several principles to follow for high quality caretaking. During the verification MDK verifies, among others, the satisfaction of one of the parties of the insured. Beside this, one also verifies the physical condition of the insured in order to draw conclusions on the quality of caretaking.

We mention for you a list of criteria which are taken into consideration during a verification of the out-patient care:

  • What is the care condition of the client or the nursed person? In order to assess this, the MDK employees check, among other things, the condition of the skin and the nourishment of the nursed person and verify the incontinence products that are used.
  • Are the established services concerning feeding performed?
  • In case of nourishment deficiency, is the nursed person or his/ her family informed on the steps to be taken?
  • In case of incontinence, are the concerned persons advised on the necessary measures to be taken?
  • Is the administrated medication in accordance with the doctor’s prescriptions?
  • Are wounds well taken care of, in line with the present day technology?
  • Before starting the services, does the nursed person receive an estimate concerning the costs?
  • Is the caretaking department always available for the nursed person?
  • Is there a proper hygiene management in the care unit and are the most important rules observed, such as hands washing?
  • Are all the employees involved in continuous training?
  • The results of quality assessment in the care unit can be found on the website www.pflegenoten.de www.pflegenoten.de

    The results of the quality assessment

    • Assessment 2017 - Note 1.0100%
    • Assessment 2016 - Note 1.198%
    • Assessment 2015 - Note 1.0100%
    Quality assessment 2017 – very good (1.0)

    Quality assessment 2017 – very good (1.0)

You are welcome to base your own project trademark policies off it, just let others use your changes and give credit to the Ubuntu project as the original source. Understand that this policy is to do with the use of the Phaser trademark itself and not the act of using Phaser to create a game.

The objective of the Phaser trademark policy is to encourage widespread use of the Phaser trademarks by the Phaser community while controlling that use in order to avoid confusion on the part of Phaser users and the general public, to maintain the value of the image and reputation of the trademarks and to protect them from inappropriate or unauthorised use.

The sections below describe what is allowed, what isn't allowed, and cases in which you should ask permission.

If you have any doubt, please contact us and a member of our trademark's team will be in touch with you shortly.

If you are aware a breach or misuse of the Phaser trademarks in any way, we would appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Please contact us so that we can investigate this further.

The trademarks

Photon Storm Ltd owns the trademark Phaser. The trademark is registered in both word and logo form. Any mark starting with the word Phaser or is sufficiently similar to one or more of the trademarks that permission will be needed in order to use it. This policy encompasses all marks, in word and logo form, collectively referred to as "Trademarks".

Permitted use

Certain usages of the Trademarks are fine and no specific permission from us is needed.

Game branding. You are free to state that your game was created in Phaser. You are free to use the Phaser logo in your game in such a way that doesn't infer endorsement.

Community advocacy. Phaser is built by, and largely for, its community. We share access to the Trademarks with the entire community for the purposes of discussion, development and advocacy. We recognise that most of the open source discussion and development areas are for non-commercial purposes and will allow the use of the trademarks in this context, provided:

  • the Trademark is used in a manner consistent with the Usage Guidelines below
  • there is no commercial intent behind the use
  • what you are referring to is in fact Phaser. If someone is confused into thinking that what isn't Phaser is in fact Phaser, you are probably doing something wrong
  • there is no suggestion (through words or appearance) that your project is approved, sponsored, or affiliated with Phaser or its related projects unless it actually has been approved by and is accountable to Photon Storm Ltd. and the Phaser Project

Building on Phaser or for Phaser. If you are producing new software which is intended for use with or on Phaser, you may use the Trademark in a way which indicates the intent of your product. For example, if you are developing a game editor for Phaser, acceptable project titles would be "Phaser Game Editor" or "Phaser Based Game Editor". We would strongly discourage, and likely would consider to be problematic, a name such as PhaserEdit, PhaserEd, etc. Furthermore, you may not use the Trademarks in a way which implies an endorsement where that doesn't exist, or which attempts to unfairly or confusingly capitalise on the goodwill or brand of the project.

Commentary and parody. The Phaser trademarks are designed to cover use of a mark to imply origin or endorsement by the project. When a user downloads something called Phaser, they should know it comes from the Phaser project. This helps Phaser build a reputation that will not be damaged by confusion around what is, and isn't, Phaser. Using the trademarks in your discussion, commentary, criticism or parody, in ways that unequivocally do not imply endorsement, is permissible. Anyone is free to write articles, create websites, blog about, or talk about Phaser -- as long as it's clear to everyone -- including people completely unfamiliar with Phaser -- that they are simply referring to Phaser and in no way speaking for Photon Storm Ltd, or the Phaser project.

We reserve the right to review all usage within the open source community, and to object to any usage that appears to overstep the bounds of discussion and good-faith non-commercial development. In any event, once a project has left the open source project phase or otherwise become a commercial project, this policy does not authorise any use of the Trademarks in connection to that project.

Restricted use that requires a trademark licence

Permission from us is necessary to use any of the Trademarks under any circumstances other than those specifically permitted above. These include:

  • Any commercial use, including but not limited to books, training courses and events.
  • Use on or in relation to a software product that includes or is built on top of a product supplied by us, if there is any commercial intent associated with that product.
  • Use in a domain name or URL.
  • Use for merchandising purposes, e.g. on t-shirts and the like.
  • Use of a name which includes the word Phaser in relation to an HTML5 Open-Source project.
  • Services relating to any of the above.

If you wish to have permission for any of the uses above or for any other use which is not specifically referred to in this policy, please contact us and we'll let you know as soon as possible if your proposed use is permissible. Permission may only be granted subject to certain conditions and these may include the requirement that you enter into an agreement with us to maintain the quality of the product and/or service which you intend to supply at a prescribed level.

While there may be exceptions, it is very unlikely that we will approve Trademark use in the following cases:

  • Use of a Trademark in a company name.
  • Use of a Trademark in a domain name which has a commercial intent. The commercial intent can range from promotion of a company or product, to collecting revenue generated by advertising.
  • The calling of any software or product by the name Phaser (or another related Trademark).
  • Use in combination with any other marks or logos. This include use of a Trademark in a manner that creates a "combined mark," or use that integrates other wording with the Trademark in a way that the public may think of the use as a new mark (for example Club Phaser or PhaserBooks, or in a way that by use of special fonts or presentation with nearby words or images conveys an impression that the two are tied in some way).
  • Use in combination with any product or service which is presented as being Certified or Official or formally associated with us or our products or services.
  • Use in a way which implies an endorsement where that doesn't exist, or which attempts to unfairly or confusingly capitalise on the goodwill or brand of the project.
  • Use of a Trademark in a manner that disparages Phaser, Richard Davey, Photon Storm Ltd; or its products and is not clearly third-party parody.
  • On or in relation to a software product which constitutes a substantially modified version of a product supplied by the Phaser project, that is to say with material changes to the code, or services relating to such a product.
  • In a title or metatag of a web page whose sole intention or result is to influence search engine rankings or result listings, rather than for discussion, development or advocacy of the Trademarks.

Logo usage guidelines

Our logos are presented in multiple colours and it is important that their visual integrity be maintained. It is therefore preferable that the logos only be used in their standard form but if you should feel the need to alter them in any way you should keep the following guidelines in mind. It should also be borne in mind that the more you wish to vary our logos from their standard form the smaller is the chance that we will be able to approve your proposed use.

  • If presented in multiple colours, the logo should only use the "official" logo colours.
  • You may use transparency and gradient/depth tools but should retain the "official" colours.
  • Any scaling must retain the original proportions of the logo.
