According to current practice, the Saudi trademark office requires a commercial registration certificate from local entities along with the trademark application. It is not a requirement to provide evidence of use or statement of intention to use a trademark.
The new trademark law has extended the subject matter of trademarks in Saudi Arabia. The law provides a non-exhaustive list of registrable trademarks. Anything with distinctive character can be a trademark, such as names, words, signatures, letters, symbols, numbers, titles, stamps, drawings, pictures, inscriptions, packaging, figurative elements, shapes or colours, groups of colours, or combinations thereof, or any sign or a group of signs used or intended to be used to distinguish the goods or services of one undertaking from the goods or services of another undertaking or intended to identify a service or as a certification mark in respect of goods or services.
For the first time in Saudi Arabia, the law has explicitly recognised smells and sounds as trademarks. The test of distinctiveness will, however, be applicable in each case, which may be strictly applied in the case of non-conventional trademarks. Presently there is no standard approach to three-dimensional trademarks other than in some cases (eg, shapes of bottles are registered in Saudi Arabia). In the new law, the inclusion of the term ‘packaging’ in the subject matter of a trademark seems to be an attempt to include three-dimensional marks.
marks that contain the following words or phrases: ‘Patent’, ‘Patented’, ‘Registered’, ‘Registered drawing’ or ‘copyright’ or similar words and phrases.
In practice, certain goods and services, inter alia, having religious connotation such as a Christmas tree, or prohibited under shariah law, for example, bars, dance clubs and any product or service with a reference to alcohol cannot be covered under trademark registration.
In Saudi Arabia, common law rights are not recognised. Trademark rights are acquired only after registration of trademarks. The quasi-judicial bodies and courts in Saudi Arabia are reluctant to recognise unregistered trademark rights. The exception to this rule is only for well-known trademarks. There is a heavy burden of proof upon the claimant of a well-known mark to establish the fame of a mark in Saudi Arabia, and the law specifies the requirement. The fame of a trademark will be determined by different factors, including the recognition of the mark in the eyes of the consumers concerned, the length of the period of use or registration in the case of a registered mark, the number of international registrations and the commercial impact it has produced in the markets.
If a claimant is able to provide sufficient evidence in court, rights over an unregistered well-known mark can be recognised.
The online registration process in Saudi Arabia is relatively fast track. The registration process from filing to issuance of registration may take up to four months. The estimated time may increase in the case of office actions issued by trademark office, which may include a condition of disclaimer, deletion of certain terms and amendment of the trademark. In the case of opposition, the estimated time may be further delayed by nine to 12 months.
The documentation required for filing of trademark application is legalised power of attorney up to the Saudi consulate and notarisation in case of a Saudi entity, a clear image of the trademark, priority document if priority is claimed and a commercial registration certificate for Saudi applicants in some cases. According to the online procedure, the first step is to upload a power of attorney for examination by the trademark office. After acceptance of the power of attorney, which does not usually take more than half a working day, a further process for application can be initiated. The trademark office does not consider uploading of the power of attorney as the initiation of the filing process, and this, in some (rare) cases, has the effect of missing the deadline for claiming priority. It is therefore not recommended to apply for trademarks with a priority claim on the deadline of a priority claim.
The total official cost from filing to registration of one trademark in one class, without opposition, is US$2,405. Attorney fees may vary.
Saudi Arabia has adopted the international Nice Classifications. The online portal for filing applications substantially includes all goods and services as provided under the international Nice Classification. However, to ensure that prohibited goods and services are not covered by trademark applications, the Saudi trademark office has either removed some such goods or services from the online portal or the portal is programmed in such a way that it is not possible to select such prohibited goods or services, even if available.
As mentioned in question 2, prohibited goods or services, inter alia, include goods or services with a religious connotation, such as a Christmas tree, or those prohibited under shariah law, for example, bars, dance clubs and any product or service with a reference to alcohol.
Under the trademark law effective from 27 September 2016, there is provision for multi-class filings; however, the trademark office is yet to issue the procedure and cost for filing such applications.
there is a condition to put a disclaimer on certain descriptive terms.
The applicant may respond with the required amendment, and the trademark office may issue an acceptance or refusal decision. Failure to respond within the stipulated period may lead to the refusal of the trademark. It is possible, although very rare, that the trademark office may issue a second chance to amend the mark. Letters of consent or coexistence agreements generally are not acceptable. In special cases, they may be acceptable.
Since the filing procedure from start to end is online, it is therefore usually not possible to submit arguments to the trademark office. The applicants or their legal representatives can visit the trademark office to discuss any objections raised by the trademark office, but this is not stipulated procedure.
Once a trademark is accepted, it is published on the website of the Ministry of Commerce and Investment, usually on the same day of acceptance. The 2016 law changed the opposition period from 90 days to 60 days. If no opposition is filed, the applicant will be asked to submit a registration fee for issuance of an online registration certificate.
It is not a requirement of law to provide evidence of actual use or undertaking of intention to use for filing application; therefore the applicant is not required to submit such document.
Non-use of a registered trademark during any five-year consecutive period renders it vulnerable to cancellation action. A registered trademark can be cancelled by third-party action on the basis of non-use before a competent court.
An action of non-use can be defended if the registrant provides reasonable justification for non-use. Acceptable justification may be reasons beyond the control of the registrant such as during war, import sanctions or any other justifiable reason that can prove that the registrant had no intention of stopping using the registered mark. A single invoice has been accepted as sufficient evidence to defeat a non-use cancellation action in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi trademark law does not define what constitutes ‘use’ of a trademark.
Being a member of the Paris Convention, Saudi Arabia grants a right of priority to applications filed in convention states within a period of six months post filing. Substantial similarity of a priority application with the application filed in Saudi Arabia and within the same class is a condition of claiming priority. Minor amendments in later trademarks are allowed.
An appeal can be filed against a refusal decision and also against the imposition of conditions by the trademark office, within 60 days of issuance of the refusal decision or imposition of conditions. Appeals are filed with the trademark office in writing form. Within the 30-day period for filing an appeal, the trademark committee will provide a copy of the appeal statement to the applicant for submission of a written reply within 60 days. The committee may also conduct hearings upon request filed by either party in the appeal, provided that the prescribed fee is payable by the party requesting the hearing. Fees are applicable for filing oppositions and for each hearing request.
The decision of the trademark committee can be appealed by the aggrieved party to the Administrative Court within a 60-day period. The Administrative Court issues a hearing notice to both parties and conducts hearings. Both parties will submit written arguments and rebuttals. There are no court fees applicable in Saudi Arabia.
A decision of the Administrative Court can be further appealed before the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal may either reject the appeal or remand the case back to the Administrative Court, along with observations. In case of refusal of appeal, the Court of Appeal will issue a written judgment, which will be final and enforceable. There is only one hearing conducted in the Court of Appeal and that is on the day of pronouncing judgments only.
If a case is remanded back to the Administrative Court with observation, the Administrative Court may reconduct hearings by issuance of notice to both parties. The Administrative Court may reverse its judgment or maintain its earlier judgment. In either case, the judgment will be appealable to the Court of Appeal by the aggrieved party.
Accepted applications are published on the website of the Ministry of Commerce and Investment for a period of 60 days. Within this period, the application is open to opposition by third parties. Under the new law, opposition can be filed with the trademark office in physical form. It is expected that an online portal may be created for filing online oppositions.
Oppositions can be filed on the basis of legal justification, which can be earlier registered trademark rights or an earlier pending application in Saudi Arabia. Oppositions can also be filed on the basis of rights established by unregistered well-known marks having fame in Saudi Arabia. Other than earlier conflicting registered trademarks or applications, it is also possible to file opposition on the basis of any legal provisions that prohibit registration of certain marks in Saudi Arabia (eg, indistinctiveness, being contrary to public order and morality, based on religious connotations, covering prohibited goods or services, exclusionary subject matter) or challenging the competence of the applicant to acquire registration in Saudi Arabia.
Within the 30-day period of filing opposition, the trademark office will provide a copy of the opposition statement to the applicant for submission of a written reply within 60 days. Hearings may also be conducted upon a request filed by either party to the opposition provided that the prescribed fee is payable by the party requesting the hearing. Fees are applicable for each hearing request.
The decision of the trademark opposition committee can be appealed by the aggrieved party to the Administrative Court within a 30-day period. The decision of the Administrative Court can be further appealed before the Court of Appeal.
The procedure for adjudication of a dispute by the Administrative Court and Court of Appeal is discussed in question 8.
It is possible to challenge the existing registration of a trademark. A cancellation action can be initiated within a period of five years of registration by any concerned party on the basis of a prior use claim and by proving that registration was not acquired in good faith or on the plea that the trademark was not lawfully registered. Such actions will, however, not be maintainable after completion of five years of registration and use with no legal action commenced against such registration.
In cancellation actions initiated by the owners of well-known marks, the extent of their fame in Saudi Arabia has to be established. Other than a case initiated on the basis of a well-known mark, it is very difficult to cancel a registered trademark in Saudi Arabia on the basis of earlier unregistered trademark rights.
The total inclusive fee for opposition before trademark committee may be in a range of US$2,000 to 2,500. The attorney fee for a cancellation action in court may range from US$15,000 to US$25,000. There are no court fees in Saudi Arabia.
The duration of trademark registration is for 10 hijrah years. The hijrah (lunar) year applicable in Saudi Arabia is 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year. To maintain registration, the registrant shall file renewal during the last year of expiry. There is a six-month grace period post expiry of trademark, with an additional fee payable as penalty. After the six-month grace period, the trademark will be declared cancelled and further renewals will not be possible. As per Saudi trademark law, an expired mark cannot be registered in favour of any third party for a period of three years post expiry or cancellation.
Use of the trademark is required in order to avoid non-use cancellation action by any third parties. Continuous non-use for five consecutive years makes a registered mark vulnerable to cancellation action. Saudi trademark law does not define ‘use’; however, in a true legal sense, a registered trademark will be considered as used if the registered trademark or substantially similar mark is used on all or any of the goods and services covered under the registration.
A single invoice has been accepted as sufficient evidence of use to defeat a non-use cancellation action in Saudi Arabia.
there are no common-law rights. The only exception is well-known marks, which places a heavy burden of proof upon a claimant to declare the mark as well known in Saudi Arabia.
Recordal of a trademark licence with the trademark office is optional in Saudi Arabia. Under the new trademark law, non-recordal does not have any legal detriment. From the point of view of enforcement of trademark in relation to third parties, it is always advisable to record a licence agreement for easy recognition of the licensee’s right to legal action by the Saudi courts.
Recordal of licence also provides better protection to the licensee. A licensee of a recorded licence can object to the removal of a licence from the trademark register on proper grounds.
A registered trademark can be assigned, wholly or partly, to any third party competent to acquire a registered trademark in Saudi Arabia. A trademark may be assigned with or without goodwill. Ownership of a registered trademark can also be transferred by will and succession.
In order to make a trademark assignment effective in relation to a third party, it is mandatory to record the assignment with the trademark office.
In transactions of transfer of ownership of actual business or investment projects, trademarks have been declared as an integral part of such transactions; however, even in such cases, it is not mandatory to assignment the trademark; the parties to transactions can agree otherwise.
certified Arabic translation of power of attorney.
Trademark assignment is examined by the trademark office and published in the Online Gazette. After publication, a trademark certificate is issued in the name of the assignee. This whole process may take up to two months, occasionally delayed.
Saudi trademark law provides that in order to make the assignment of a trademark effective in relation to a third party, it is mandatory to record the assignment with the trademark office. The consequence of non-recordal of assignment is clearly provided in the law. As far as validity of assignment is concerned, it cannot be effected owing to non-recordal. However, it is in the interest of both assignor and assignee to record the assignment with the trademark office.
Security interest is recognised and notarised, or legalised security interest can be recorded against a registered trademark. Security interest, unless recorded with the trademark office and published, shall not be deemed effective in relation to third parties.
The law does not provide any marking as such. In practice, however, it is common to use the ® sign for a registered trademark. For an indication of trademark use, the ™ symbol is used; however, this is not common practice in Saudi Arabia. Use of the ® sign provides an indication to other parties that the mark is exclusively registered and not free to use. However, use of the ® sign is not a requirement to initiate infringement action, and non-use cannot be pleaded as a defence against infringement if otherwise infringement is established.
Indication of an unregistered mark as a registered mark is a punishable offence in Saudi trademark law; therefore use of the ® sign for an unregistered mark may be risky from this perspective.
There are two types of proceedings available in Saudi Arabia for trademark infringement actions: administrative action and court action.
Administrative action can be initiated before the Anti Commercial Fraud Department (ACFD) in Riyadh. The ACFD has recently introduced a centralised complaint management system, and therefore a complaint can be filed with the ACFD headquarters in Riyadh against infringement occurring in any Saudi city. The ACFD requires evidence of infringement in the form of a sample of genuine and infringing products, purchase bills from outlets selling infringing products and the address of the location. The process includes submission of an online complaint along with evidence, study of the case by the ACFD, raids on outlets offering infringing products and destruction of the infringing products.
Although the ACFD operates under its own law (Anti Commercial Fraud Law), in some of the court’s judgments trademark infringement cases were dismissed and plaintiffs were advised to first resort to administrative procedure. The court also stated in its (debatable) judgment that any trademark infringement case will be premature and not maintainable if, prior to filing an infringement action, administrative action was not taken by the trademark owners. Administrative procedures are usually speedy, and in cases of prima facie infringement ACFD inspectors may conclude complaints within a two-month period.
Apart from administrative action, trademark infringement actions can also be filed with commercial courts in Saudi Arabia. In each type of action, registration of trademark is a precondition for success. Unregistered rights are not recognised in Saudi Arabia except in the case of well-known trademarks, in which case the plaintiff is under a heavy burden of proof.
Border control measures are considered as a very effective approach in Saudi Arabia. The customs authorities in Saudi Arabia have set up a procedure to record registered trademarks with customs for vigilance in all upcoming consignments of imports into Saudi Arabia. The customs authorities will stop, either on their own suspicion or by request filed by trademark owner, any suspected shipment, and will contact the registered trademark owner or its legal representative to confirm whether the suspected held products are genuine or counterfeit. Customs authorities are cooperative in this procedure and usually share pictures of suspected products very quickly and, where required, samples are also provided for the purpose of confirmation.
In any case, the trademark owner is obliged to initiate a case before a competent court within 10 days for the issuance of the order to destroy the imported goods or remove them from the channel of business. Goods harmful to public health and the environment are usually destroyed.
knowingly possessing tools or material intended to be used in the imitation of registered trademarks or famous trademarks.
Infringement proceedings are initiated by submitting a statement of claims to a competent court, or an online complaint before the administrative authority in the case of administrative action. In court proceedings, statements of claims will be served upon the defendants with instructions to submit a written statement on the date of the scheduled hearing. In Saudi Arabia, litigation is conducted through an exchange of written documents and oral arguments. In the case of technical matters, the judge can appoint an expert to submit his or her advice on any specific issue, although it is not the usual practice of courts. Oral testimony is acceptable as evidence. The case is decided by a presiding judge.
Criminal proceedings in trademark cases are initiated by a public prosecutor upon the recommendation of the ACFD. Saudi criminal procedure law is applicable to all criminal proceedings.
In Saudi Arabia trademark rights are acquired through registration; therefore a registration certificate is sine qua non to bring an infringement action. It is also the duty of the plaintiff to establish confusing similarity. In the case of unregistered well-known trademarks, the plaintiff is under an additional burden to prove that the mark is famous. The new trademark law stipulates the criteria for establishing the fame of a trademark, which are the extent of its recognition by the concerned consumers as a result of its promotion, the length of period of registration or use thereof, the number of countries of registration or fame or the value of the mark and the extent of its impact in the promotion of goods or services that the mark is used to distinguish.
In any action based on a well-known mark, all the above elements shall be proved by the plaintiff. If a well-known mark is actually used in Saudi Arabia, it is usually very convincing in proceedings.
The owner of a registered trademark or a licensee, authorised under agreement to do so, may bring a civil trademark infringement action if any third party has commercially exploited the registered trademark without authorisation. A criminal complaint may be initiated by the ACFD if, inter alia, the trademark infringement also has elements of fraud to consumers. The ACFD may initiate such actions suo moto or on a complaint submitted by the rights holder. In the latter case, the ACFD will examine the presence of criminal elements independently.
In such cases, foreign activities outside Saudi Arabia should establish cause of action in Saudi Arabia. Any unauthorised exploitation of registered trademarks through activities done outside the jurisdiction of Saudi Arabia will establish actionable cause if such goods are attempted to be imported into Saudi Arabia. The Saudi customs department has a strong mechanism of border control. Any suspected infringing or counterfeit goods are seized at the border, either by a complaint or on the initiative of customs officials. The customs officials will communicate with the rights holder or its authorised representative (recorded with custom) to confirm the status of the seized goods. In the case of counterfeit goods, the consignment is seized at the border and the customs department will initiate a procedure to destroy the goods or remove them from commercial channels.
There are no legal provisions in place for a discovery procedure. In practice, discovery of fact or discovery of documents is not possible in legal proceedings. The judge can, however, depending on the circumstances, ask any party to produce certain documents, but the law does not oblige litigating parties to produce them.
The time frame for litigation varies from case to case. Preliminary injunction proceedings can be concluded within two months. At trial level, it may take 12 to 16 months. Appeals before the Court of Appeal are usually concluded within four to six months.
Administrative infringement actions can be concluded within three to four months.
A typical infringement action may cost from US$15,000 to US$25,000 before Saudi courts. Administrative actions before ACFD usually cost from US$5,000 to US$7,000.
The award of damages is possible only in theory. Although Saudi trademark law has provisions on the award of damages, the Saudi courts follow shariah (Islamic) principles on damages. Under the Islamic principle, the damages should be actual, quantifiable and not based on speculation. Reputational damages are not recognised under this principle. The heavy burden of proof upon the plaintiff makes it difficult to establish damages to the satisfaction of the court, and in practice damages are not awarded.
In infringement and cancellation actions, the decision of the first instance court can be appealed by the aggrieved party before the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal may either reject the appeal or remand the case back to the first instance court along with observations. In the case of a refusal of appeal, the Court of Appeal will issue a written judgment, which will be final and enforceable.
See questions 8 and 9 for the appeal process in trademark refusals and opposition proceedings.
if the infringement action is brought by the owner of unregistered well-known marks, the defendant can dispute the fame of the well-known mark in Saudi Arabia.
A successful infringement case, whether administrative or in court, can end up in the issuance of an order to destroy the infringing goods. The actual damages and lost profits can be considered for apportionment of monetary relief, but in practice this is rarely granted. Award of damages or monetary relief is possible only in theory. Although Saudi trademark law has provisions on the award of damages, Saudi courts follow shariah principles on damages. Under the Islamic principle, the damages should be actual, quantifiable and not based on speculation. Reputational damages are not recognised under this principle. The heavy burden of proof upon the plaintiff makes it difficult to establish damages to the satisfaction of the court, and in practice damages or monetary relief are not awarded.
Interim injunctions are available in law, but in practice hardly granted by Saudi courts. Application for interim injunctions should be based on a prima facie case, which should include proof of trademark registration, and prima facie infringement of the registered trademark. Where the nature of imitation is such that a question of similarity between the marks may be subject to consideration, an interim injunction will not be granted.
Depending on the offence committed, monetary punishments can be between 1,000 and 1 million Saudi riyals. A recidivist can be punished with double punishments as provided for specific offences and reoffending may also lead to temporary closure of his or her business.
ADR is highly encouraged under Islamic principles. Mediation and arbitration between parties to disputes is encouraged in all forms of litigation and has strong roots in shariah law and traditions.
Arbitration in Saudi Arabia is governed under the new Law of Arbitration, issued by Royal Decree No. M/34, which is based on the UNCITRAL Model Law on international commercial arbitration, although not a verbatim adoption. Under this law, parties can exclude the jurisdiction of Saudi courts to take cognisance of a dispute between parties. Recourse to arbitration may save the parties time in a dispute and they may select a specialised arbitrator who has the relevant knowledge and skill to settle a dispute. The parties can adopt the language of the proceedings and place of arbitration. A notable concern is that the provisions of an arbitration agreement, either separately executed or by reference in a main agreement, cannot exclude the jurisdiction of Saudi courts on the invalidation proceedings of awards. The law provides a list of provisions for bringing an invalidation action; therefore, bearing in mind the Saudi legal system, there is always an element of uncertainty in the enforcement of awards, especially where the arbitration was held outside Saudi Arabia or by application of a non-Saudi law.
Saudi trademark law has provisions on criteria to establish a well-known trademark. According to the law, the fame of the mark shall be determined by the extent of its recognition by the concerned consumers as a result of its promotion, the length of period of registration or use thereof, the number of countries of registration or the fame or the value of the mark and the extent of its impact in the promotion of goods or services which the mark is used to distinguish.
Subject to the above provisions, a well-known trademark can be enforced against infringers if the use of the mark were to indicate a connection between the goods or services required to be distinguished by it and the goods or services of the owner of the well-known mark or the use of the mark would lead to the possibility of damage to the owner of the well-known mark.
Saudi courts also recognise provisions of multilateral intellectual property conventions and agreements relating to well-known marks.
well-known marks, whether registered or unregistered, are enforceable against a third party’s infringement.
the Saudi government announced the establishment of a new IP Authority in March 2017. The Saudi Intellectual Property Authority (SIPA) is considered one of the initiatives of the Trade and Investment System within the National Transformation Program 2020. The Trade and Investment System has worked to bring SIPA into existence and has set up the regularity arrangements to enable the authority to achieve its objectives. This is all with a view to the unification, under one umbrella, of the competent authorities that have a direct relation to the protection of intellectual property rights in the Kingdom.
Kadasa was founded 30 years ago by the renowned Saudi attorney Nassir Ali Kadasa in Riyadh, the Saudi Capital, under Associated Patent Attorneys. Mr Kadasa has the distinction of being the first Saudi attorney to prosecute and win an infringement lawsuit on behalf of a foreign entity against a national infringer.

Old-Fashioned Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream dessert for a hot summer night of gathering with your family, friends, or neighbors! Perfect for my 55th Birthday today!
“Lazy days of summer” really don’t exist in our home this year! Everyone is either working or enjoying the outdoors, and then coming together in the evening for a delicious summer meal. Ending with this OLD-FASHIONED HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM recipe is always a summer fave!
Over the 4th holiday, my Old-Fashioned Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream recipe went bonkers on Pinterest! In fact, this comment on my blog yesterday, which made me smile!
Just wanted to let you know what a success your recipe was at my church get together last night. There were 3 of us ladies making homemade ice cream, all vanilla, and the one I made, your recipe, won, hands down. It wasn’t a contest, so to speak, but mine was almost completely gone, and the other 2 were barely touched! The brown sugar really makes a difference. Thanks again.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS TO MAKE HOMEMADE ICE CREAM?
Easy–eggs, half and half, whipping cream, brown sugar (which makes it so good), regular white sugar, salt, cocoa, and vanilla. Of course rock salt and ice for the process of making it.
What makes the ice cream it’s best is the ice/salt mixture and fat content of ice cream!
Right away I will tell you, THERE IS NO SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK in this recipe!
But now, as we sit around the table at night, life is even sweeter now than it was then.
How can that be? We all grow, mature, and learn to love each other more.
Being my birthday today, here’s my hospital picture 55 years ago! Wow, have hospital baby pictures ever changed over the years! Now newborn hospitality shots are staged and beautiful, where 55 years ago, the nurse held the head up and … SNAPOO!
I’m so grateful for my mother and father. I had the best role-model-parents. My mom (remember infant seats–above), and my dad was always the family photographer!
Today … spending time with my own family.
The things we long for when our babies are so tiny definitely change over time. I remember wanting a “break,” for things to be “clean,” for my kids to “stay clean,” to get a good night’s sleep, for my kids to act like angels (ha!), always getting along. Yeah, right! Those things seem so simplistic to me now.
I find myself now savoring the sweet affection our kids have toward each other, delicious conversations, great dinners together (with THIS yummy Old-Fashioned Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream), and seeing and hearing their stories, thoughts, opinions, experiences, through their eyes!
My mom’s recipe, this time with cocoa, it’s a delicious creamy chocolate-y dessert. For summer, there’s nothing quite like homemade ice cream (made with ice and rock salt).
How long does it take for the ice cream to be set?
If my mom was alive today, I think she’d love this post today :) Happy 55th Birthday to me, Mom & Dad!
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl; beat together on medium with a hand mixer or stand mixer for 1-2 minutes.
Fill the ice cream freezer and make according to appliance directions, layering a lot of ice and rock salt, until the machine shuts off.
Immediately remove the paddle; place the lid back on. Cover with more ice and a heavy towel until ready to eat (so ice cream continues to freeze and set).
More treats: Banana Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Bites [Baker Mama], White Chocoalte Brownies [Two Peas and Their Pod], Freezer Apple Pie [Southern Plate].
I would love to try this recipe, because it’s the first one where you don’t have to temper the eggs. My question is, can this recipe be made using an electric ice cream machine. Thank you.
What if I wanted to add candy pieces or chocolate chips? Before mixing or after ice cream is finished?
After it’s made? Yes, it freezes beautifully!
Is this a 4 qt recipe ? And do I need to finish filling the container with milk to the line. ?
Hi Frances, follow the recipe exactly. Do not add anything extra (do not add extra milk). ENJOY!
I want to try this recipe, but was wondering if you have to heat the eggs and cream beforehand, like other ice cream recipes with eggs.
No, we’ve had this recipe in our family for 50 years, we do not cook the eggs. Enjoy!
Happy Birthday! This would go great with your cookie bars from yesterday! I turn the big 5-0 this year! My parents were stationed in England when I was born and they lived with a family…their space was so small, my bed was a pulled out drawer that they put a pillow in.
What a beautiful memory about your parents and burned biscuits. It reminds me that Grandpa Earl always asked for the cookies with the burned edges. He said they were the best! Such sweet memories.

A new hi-tech electronic tagging system to keep track of offenders and send instant alerts when they break rules is to be introduced.
The Government is looking at ways to develop its rehabilitation programmes for criminals and has asked proposals for a state-of-the-art network.
A request for proposal from the Ministry of Legal Affairs said the Government planned to bring in a system that uses GPS tracking and wanted at least 50 individual devices.
The RFP said: “The Government of Bermuda is seeking to expand and maintain its programmes to monitor, manage and change behaviours in offenders, with the protection of the community as the primary consideration.
“Electronic monitoring involves having an electronic bracelet — device — attached to an offender deemed to be in need of intensive monitoring and/or having restrictions placed on their movements.
The document, published online, told suppliers they were expected to provide costs for a complete system that used existing technology, as well as prices for optional extras.
The ministry’s existing electronic monitoring programme uses GPS or cellular tracking devices to keep tabs 24 hours a day on people who are on parole or bail.
Potential suppliers of the new equipment were told it must be “highly reliable in a wide range of climatic conditions and environments”.
Specifications included that the GPS monitoring devices should be able to “pinpoint the location of any client” and feed back data “at least once every 15 minutes when the offender is compliant and immediately when the offender commits a violation”.
The monitoring devices are expected to have at least 36 hours of battery life and work in both fresh and salt water up to three metres deep.
Kathy Lynn Simmons, the Attorney-General, told the Senate last July that the “overall design and data” of the tagging system was under review to see how it could be improved.
Options included devices that could detect alcohol levels in sweat, home detention devices and units that could be used in domestic violence situations.
Ms Simmons, who is also the Minister of Legal Affairs, added that 26 devices were in use at the time and the programme was budgeted at $250,000 a year.
A ministry spokeswoman said the average daily use was higher.
She explained last week: “We can confirm that on most occasions there are 30 units in active use.
The Royal Gazette asked for further information about what was expected from the new contract, including the predicted cost and whether developments such as the detection of alcohol would be included.
But the ministry declined to comment because the RFP had been issued and “some of the questions may put potential vendors at an advantage”.
The RFP included the opportunity for suppliers to provide details about additional devices or services, such as alcohol monitoring and the associated costs.
Anyone interested has until noon on February 28 to submit a proposal.

Google Cloud Platform has landed in Australia, with the official launch this morning of a Sydney region for the service.
At launch, the Sydney GCP region offers three zones and a range of compute, storage, networking and big data services.
In a blog entry announcing the launch, Google said App Engine and Datastore will be available shortly.
Australian GCP customers include PwC, Monash University, Fairfax Media and Woodside.
Google revealed in September that it intended to launch a Sydney region for its cloud platform, as part of a major geographical expansion of the service.
The company has previously said that it intends to launch around one region a month this year.
Including Sydney, Google has four Asia Pacific regions: Taiwan, Tokyo and Singapore (Singapore launched earlier this month).
Google said its performance testing showed an 80 to 95 per cent reduction in round-trip time latency for customers using services from the Sydney region from Australian and New Zealand cities, compared to using its Singapore and Taiwan GCP regions.
Amazon Web Services launched local data centres for its cloud services in late 2012. Microsoft launched Australian Azure data centres in 2014.

Fundamental Performance in the Rehab continuum begins to reestablish fundamental strength and power.
Amanda is just about nine months post-op and we continue to produce strength in order to perform our more powerful movements.
During this progression to recovery she is relearning proper linear movements , multi-directional movement, jumping and landing.
Ake is 1.5 years out from tearing his ACL. Had surgery in June 2018, and currently seven months post-op, so we are working on building basic fundamental strength.
Post-rehab training is essentially designed to continue where you the physical therapist left off so that they can safely continue improving in areas such as strength, flexibility, balance and stability.
Post-physical therapy training will be tailored to meet their needs so that you can safely achieve the level of fitness and wellbeing they desire without injuring or re-injuring themselves.
If you have any clients that you feel would benefit from continuing to rehab after PT, I ask for your referral.
“A referral is the greatest compliment, you can give”. Thank you in a advance.

Get the best of both worlds: Superior vision and a more comfortable lens-wearing experience.
With Biofinity toric lenses you can enjoy superior vision and a more comfortable lens-wearing experience—for up to seven days in a row.
The credit goes to a special toric lens design. We call it Optimized Toric Lens Geometry™. It’s designed for stability, clarity and comfort. Not only does Optimized Toric Lens Geometry provide sharper vision by reducing lens movement when you blink, it also results in a smoother lens designed for comfort when you blink.
And if you have astigmatism and a high prescription, our extended range Biofinity XR toric lenses may be the answer. They provide all the benefits of Biofinity toric lenses in a new, extended range of lenses optimized to correct higher degrees of astigmatism along with nearsightedness or farsightedness.
***After 4 weeks of wear.
Biofinity contact lenses incorporate the optimal balance of lens material, surface design and optics to provide remarkable comfort, breathability and visual performance in the broadest range of prescriptions.
Biofinity lenses are naturally wettable. That’s because our Aquaform® Technology allows the lenses to retain water molecules—even through extended periods of wear. This helps keep your eyes hydrated and comfortable. Aquaform Technology also creates breathability in Biofinity lenses. That means oxygen can efficiently pass through the silicone hydrogel lens material to reach your eyes. And that helps keep your eyes clear, white* and healthier.
Biofinity lenses have a smooth, naturally wettable surface with a specially rounded edge design. This minimizes any feeling of the lens edge against your eyelid when you blink.
Biofinity lenses feature unique optics that are specifically matched to each wearer’s prescription. That meansyour Biofinity lenses will be designed to work in harmony with your eyes.
Find out more about Biofinity technology. And talk to your eye care professional about the premium lens-wearing experience you can only get from Biofinity.

CALGARY—Enbridge Inc. reported a net loss of $80 million in its latest quarter as it warned its plan to reverse the flow of a pipeline running between southern Ontario and Montreal has been delayed.
The pipeline company said the National Energy Board approved the project subject to conditions in March, however the board has requested additional information related to one of the conditions.
“Our objective with the Line 9B project has always been to meet, if not exceed, regulatory requirements and to assure our stakeholders of our commitment to operate our pipeline safely and protect the environment,” Enbridge president and chief executive Al Monaco said in a statement.
However, adjusted earnings, which excluded unrealized derivative gains and losses and other one-time items, amounted to $345 million, up from $278 million a year ago.
Revenue totaled $8.3 billion, down from $9 billion in the same quarter last year.
The company’s Line 9, built in 1976, originally shipped oil from Sarnia, Ont., to Montreal, but was reversed in the late 90s in response to market conditions to pump imported crude westward. Enbridge wants to switch the direction back.
The company plans to move 300,000 barrels of crude oil per day through the line, up from the current 240,000 barrels, with no increase in pressure.
Opponents, however, have argued Enbridge’s plan puts communities at risk, threatens water supplies and could endanger vulnerable species in ecologically sensitive areas.

Week 7 in the Great British Bake Off was Victorian week and on this theme I have made a pie that can use all the leftovers from a Sunday dinner or items from the store cupboard, afterall Victorians were rather thrifty and didn't waste money. Once again a big thank you to Mummy Mishaps for organising the #GBBOBloggers2015 and this week Debbie will be hosting.
Rub the butter in to the flour and add a pinch of salt, mix with approximately 30ml of cold water until you have dough. Place in the refridgerator to chill.
Dice the chicken breasts, gammon steak and sausages.
In a frying pan add the oil, crushed clove of garlic and mixed herbs and brown all the meat.
Add a chicken stock to the pan along with 1 pint of water and simmer for about 25 minutes.
At this point I added salt and pepper to our taste and thickened the stock with some chicken gravy granules.
In seperate pans place about 2lb of diced potatoes in one pan and the vegetable mix in another one, boil until just cooked or to your preference.
Add the vegetables and potato to the pie mix and place in a casserole/pie dish.
Roll out the pastry and decorate to your liking. This is the point when my daughter takes over as she loves decorating pies.
Bake at 180 degrees for 25 minutes.
Tesco kindly provided the ingredients for this post and you can check out lots of other Baking ideas on the Tesco Real Food website.
The pie looks really yummy, thanks for the recipe I will be giving it a try.
My husband would love this...I would need to make a veggie version for myself!
I love pie and I love roast dinners so this ticks all of my boxes!
Wow! This looks super tasty! I would love to give this a try.
This looks amazing for the turning weather. I am going to have to try to start baking and cooking more - there are so many wonderful recipes out there!
This pie looks amazing! My family would love this.
I love the theme and it is true that Victorians were frugal and it is what defined the class system.

Everybody loves a good anti-hero. You know, the “reluctant” self-serving mercenary type forced by circumstance and the sudden weight of their previously hidden moral compass and newly discovered social conscience, to do the right thing. They always make any story they’re in far more interesting , as the omnipresent “will-they-won’t-they” dilemma makes them unpredictable at best, which usually means that the audience is in for one heck of a tumultuous and uncontrollable, but undeniably thrilling, ride. And anti-heroes don’t come much more “anti”, or heroic, than Vienna Salvatori.
Tempered by her new partner (and ex-law enforcement officer), Jexie Reagan and her recent escapades, the “former” assassin for hire is, this time, plunged into a labyrinthine corporate conspiracy full of the sort of devious double dealing and underhanded profiteering and scheming that big business and those who subscribe to its model, and worship at its altar, consider to be all in a day’s work. Over the course of three stories, our heroines (that’s Vienna and Jexie), accept an assignment that, having been plunged into the confusing world of doubles and copies, sees them vowing to make sure that a new wonder drug is shared in the public domain instead of being harnessed for the benefit of shareholders and increased dividends. It’s a promise that throws them into conflict with sentient buildings and finds them battling their way through an “Apprentice” style reality show that comes complete with death, destruction and mayhem before finally entering the lair of the “beast” and facing a whole new set of unorthodox challenges on a world whose citizens can be anyone, and experience anything, they want to. The odds are stacked against them and then some, but if there’s one thing that we’ve learned from her previous adventures, when it looks like the house is going to win and win big, you should always play the odds and bet on Vienna.

Has anyone been paid by moola?
I am so addicted to moola! I would hate to find out that they don't pay! I have heard people say they do, but I just want some reassurance!
I am not at that sie, just heard the name and dont know how much genuine it is. Even i dont know what kind of site it is, is it a posting site like mylot ? Have heard its name only in discussion here, and i dont remeber i have ever tried visiting the site, anyways...Good Luck to you and wish that it comes true and u get paid, as you are so much addcited, you must have spent much of your time there right ???
At moola you actually play games to earn money. Earning can be a bit difficult because in order to earn, you need to win a lot of games. The good part about it is, you can choose how much of your money you want to play with, and how much you want to put in your "savings" which is what you cash out with. I have 2 bucks now in my savings, so I am 1/5th of the way there! I guess only time will tell if they pay.... I have heard a lot of good things about this site, so I am pretty confident! If you want to join, let me know, I'll hook you up with a link.
I have played it quite a bit because my friend referred me but unfortunately I am not very good. I make about 10 cents or so before I lose all of it. It is great that you like it so much, but I have am pretty sure that they do pay. Best of luck and keep on winning.
I've heard from several people myself that Moola does pay but I can't back them up because I can't stay interested in Moola long enough to actually see if they do pay or not. I've tried, I really have but I haven't been lucky enough to actually stick around. My attention span wanes on that site very easily, sorry!

We’ll take a compliment anyway we can get it. Today’s installment comes from Chicago blogger Kelly Ryan O’brien via her new (quite cool) blog Idols and Egos, calling our own Gretchen Schneider a “Grammar Nazi” and “bitchy.” Please: We’ve heard worse.
We’ve written a few blogs about business writing and grammar. Perhaps it’s time for a refresher course.
It’s our job. We worship the Associated Press Stylebook like it’s the second coming of Christ. We are, after all, the nerds behind your words.
You’re wondering why people aren’t taking you seriously around the office. You show up on time, meet deadlines, have great ideas, dress professionally…so, what’s the deal? It could be that last update you posted on your LinkedIn page: “I’d like to thank every one for there hard work…Your the best team ever!” Yikes. Not only do you look like an idiot for those grammatical errors, but so does the company you have listed as your employer.
With more and more people professionally communicating via social networks (most without the crutch of spell check), it’s important to review a few common spelling/grammar errors. We’re trying to keep it simple with the following format: Word. Usage. Example. If you’d like specific definitions, please visit Merriam Webster Online.
There: PLACE. Example: Put the file over there. EXCLAMATION. Example: There you go!
Their: POSSESSION. Example: That file is theirs.
They’re: CONTRACTION of “They are.” Example: They’re proud of the file.
“They’re putting that file of theirs over there.” Get it?
It’s: CONTRACTION of “It is” or “it has.” Example: It’s a gorgeous day.
Its: POSSESSION. Examples: Every dog has its day. That dog dropped its bone.
Then: TIME. Example: Don has a meeting with Rick at 11 then they are going to lunch.
Than: COMPARISION. Example: I’d rather meet in my office than yours.
Yours: POSSESSION. Example: My pen is broken; can I use yours?
Your’s: DOESN’T EXIST! Stop using it immediately.
There are many more errors we could name, but this post can only go so long, so consider this “Part 1” of a grammar series.

Riprap Friends are continuing to make a difference in the daily lives of children fighting cancer. Every smile goes a long way in powering them through the next challenge on their journey. Because of your support, we are able to connect with more children and serve more pediatric oncology clinics each year.

I have so many! One of my most recent favorites was in working with a young boy only two and a half years old, who is more fluent in Portuguese than English. After a few sessions of figuring out the best way I could work with him and engage him musically, I ended up making up a silly voice to speak as his favorite action figure, “The Hulk”. One session we used a drum machine program on my phone to make a beat and then I ended up making some verses in my voice for the hulk with a chorus that the boy would sing a long with. He seemed to be having such a good time. That moment really stands out to me!
How did you get into teaching?: I got into teaching soon after moving to NYC. I had worked as a nanny and then a substitute and after school teacher while also running a songwriting program for kids. Moving to teaching both guitar and songwriting felt like a natural progression to combine both my skills in music and my years of experience working with kids and in education.
Being a Riprap friend has been so meaningful to me, and I definitely get as much out of it as I can hope to give. My pursuit of music over the years can often feel difficult, and self centered as I try and express myself through music and get some sort of positive feedback.
To get to take my love of music and my love of improvising and being creative and use that to engage with someone else, and help them nurture their own creative voice. Getting to do that feels like such an honor and such an amazing way to be productive in a musical way outside of just my own personal music. It means getting to share a unique experience and use my life long passion for music with others in a truly meaningful way and I am so grateful for that.
Fun fact about yourself: I am originally from Maine and love nature. I recently went scuba diving in Belize and got to pet a nurse shark!
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Today is National Daughter Day.
Saturday, September 29th, 2018, should be Mariah Cooper’s 5th Birthday.
This Saturday, over the final weekend of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, I will take on Ironman Maryland. It is a personal life goal, but really, it is the culmination of 7 years of sweat and tears shed to power through my daughter’s battle and my family’s journey fighting childhood cancer. As we close in on the milestone of 5 years out from treatment when hopefully Lily will become a survivor, nothing short of this event could provide the release of overwhelming emotions – fear, hope, rage, gratitude, sadness, awe – churning within. I can’t falter a step when I think of my own daughter’s unwavering strength and heroic bravery even at age 3. My efforts will also be dedicated to another truly incredible child. Mariah Cooper moved the heart and soul of Riprap Friends, and if she had not lost her courageous fight with cancer over the summer, she would be turning 5 on Saturday.
Please consider supporting the meaningful experiences Riprap can provide for children like Mariah. Any amount goes a long way in growing Riprap’s ability to reach more children. Support Riprap!
Before RipRap introduced me to Mariah almost exactly a year ago, I didn’t believe in soul mates. But in a way that is difficult to put to words, I knew after a few times of seeing her that we were, in a very special and rare way, soul mates. Mariah was a child who was never meant for this earth. She was made of so much bigger and brighter and wilder and deeper things.
Her love, for life and her family and me and dogs and any other living thing and doughnuts and pickles and the color blue, was fierce and relentless. She had the fearless tenacity and precocious gumption of a child, and an empathy, wisdom and selflessness that exceeded that of any adult I’ve ever known. She was strong in the face of pain no one should ever endure and was soft and warm in her grace for those she loved. We all talk about how she was inarguably her most strikingly beautiful, powerful and, honestly regal, towards the end, when her body was merely a fleeting vessel for a soul that transcended it with its blinding brightness.
We continue to love each other, to love fully and deeply and without fear even when it is scary or hurts. And we dream and create and celebrate birthdays and anniversaries and stand in the sun a little longer than usual and push our healthy bodies the extra mile knowing that she would be furious if we didn’t . Which is why this Iron Man, Tracey’s own journey of blood, sweat and tears, is such a fitting testament to Mariah and to RipRap, journeys that are all about grit and strength and brutal battles and transcending the physical limitations by reaching deep down and high up for something greater to drive us on and lead us to the finish line.
Riprap Friends are continuing to bring joy and love to the days of children fighting cancer. It is meaningful and powerful work that makes an uplifting impact on all those touched. Patients, siblings, parents and Friends all share overwhelming gratitude for the connection and experience.
Riprap Friends needs your support to make our work possible. All donations go directly to services and materials for the children we serve. We are beyond thankful for the support of Namaste New York to provide an amazing self-care experience to support Riprap Friends. Please join us, at 400 West 12th Street, 11am-2pm, April 26th, for mini yoga and guided meditations each hour, mini thai massage sessions, yummy bites and good company! RSVP!
Your favorite Riprap Friend moment so far: I was working with a child where at their first session, they were so shy they couldn’t look at me, talk to me or even feel comfortable moving their bodies, by the end of the session, her mother is telling me she can’t stop dancing and asks mom every week when I will be back.
What being a Riprap Friend means to you: All I can think about is how I can be a positive energy and light during this time in this child and Family’s life. I wanted to go into teaching because I wanted to make an impression, be a good influence, help people and share my knowledge. Being a RipRap friend means all of this to me: being consistent, positive, flexible and patient.
How did you get into teaching?: I always taught or assisted dance classes, at my local studio and later at a mentor’s dance studio in Toronto. It wasn’t until I attended NYU’s MFA program in dance where I realized educating young people in movement or in general was something that I was passionate about. I decided to go back to school for education to incorporate my love of dance and theater with educating young people.
Fun fact about yourself: If I could, I would eat Thai food everyday!
The name “Riprap Friends” comes from the word for a stone wall used to armor shorelines against water erosion. We will provide a metaphorical armor for pediatric cancer patients and their families against some of the often overlooked erosive characteristics of that disease: social, creative, and emotional isolation that can be a severe impediment to full recovery.
We understand that a child’s wellbeing depends on a variety of important factors, and among those factors is the child’s ability to be creative, intellectually stimulated, socially engaged, to have the opportunity to make meaningful choices in his or her day-to-day life, and most importantly, to have the support of family and friends during their medical treatment. Riprap intends to facilitate all of these things in the name of bettering the overall health of childhood cancer patients.

Company bosses who endanger their staff company pensions will face fines or prosecution, as this will become a criminal offence under new measures to be announced by the government.
According to reports over the weekend, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will this week publish its defined benefit (DB) white paper, which will also make easier for The Pensions Regulator (TPR) to intervene early when it detects issues.
This move follows the high-profile cases of BHS and Carillion, in which their pension funds were left struggling with high deficits after the companies collapsed.
BHS went into administration in April 2016, putting workers' retirement nest eggs at risk and The Pensions Regulator has been investigating the case since.
In the end, a £363m settlement with Sir Philip was reached to fund a new independent pension scheme for 19,000 former BHS workers.
At the time, the Work and Pensions committee suggested new powers for TPR, as these would provide what it described as a "nuclear deterrent" against another BHS-style scandal.
Meanwhile, the committee is now investigating Carillion, which has 13 final salary schemes in the UK with more than 28,500 members, and a deficit of £587m at the end of July.
The contractor’s DB pension schemes are all either in the retirement fund of last resort, the Pension Protection Fund (PPF), or will soon enter it, meaning many members face a cut to their pension provision.
Carillion, which employs about 43,000 people, had been struggling for several months, issuing a profit warning last year that sank its share price – which has fallen from more than £2 a year ago to about 14.2p just before it went into administration.
Prime minister Theresa May said in January that she would stop company bosses from profiting while putting their workers’ pensions at risk.
The DWP has been working on its white paper on DB schemes, which was first expected to be published in 2017, then delayed to February 2018, and it is now expected in spring.
The paper, expected this week, which follows a consultation launched in February into what needed to be done to ensure confidence and secure the future of these schemes, will consider the need to adapt the regulatory regime.
Industry body Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) has welcomed the government’s proposals “to crack down on reckless behaviour which puts DB pensions at risk”, said Graham Vidler, director of external affairs.
He said: “11 million people depend on DB for their future income and a focus on protecting the security of those pensions is essential.
“As well as introducing criminal sanctions we'll be looking to the forthcoming white paper to strengthen and clarify The Pensions Regulator's powers and to help more schemes take advantage of the opportunities of consolidation."

TOTO is one of the longest running touring bands on the globe and it has had an off and on line-up change of former vocalists reuniting with the bands founding members Steve Lukather, David Paich and/or Steve Porcaro. Alongside vocal masters Bobby Kimball and Joseph Williams, TOTO has had several front-men handling vocal duties over their long spanning career, including Luke (Steve) himself. With Joseph Williams closing the ranks on this reunion, the band grips back to their acclaimed Fahrenheit and hit spitting success of The Seventh One. With this being set, stakes are extremely high and XIV cannot fall short of being a miracle recorded by one of melodic rock and AORs finest.
Lets start by saying that this new album is exactly what anyone, fans and music aficionados, do have expected it to be. XIV is the embodiment of the grandeur of TOTOs albums, whether they featured alumnis Kimball, Jean-Michael Byron or the late Fergie Frederiksen. But it is above all a celebrational return of Joseph Williams marking the return to the bands most fruitful period sprouting hits by the dozen. To make the everlasting TOTO sound as gripping as during their The Seventh One days, the band also reunited with recording partner Michael McDonald who provided the underscore in many ear mingling choirs and choruses per se. Alongside McDonald, the band also reunited with original bassist David Hungate.
Running Out of Time opens full-blown with the typical neo-progressive hooks and twists working towards the larger than life chorus pleated by the swirling keyboards of Mr. Paich himself. Lukather spits his riff into the airwaves establishing one of the trademark sounds of TOTO instantly. Burn enters with an ear mingling verse accompanied by piano towards an explosive pompous hook line on which Williams vocal supremacy is highlighted. The semi-ballad is furthermore powered by sublime guitar drops and Paich layers of keys and awes and oohs making it feel all fuzzy and warm. With Holy Wars Lukather steps up to spit some sublime licks to the front, driving the song forward as one of those convertible classics. Feel good vibes contrasting with the lyrical content of the song. The eclectic midsection features a jaw dropping solo by the master over progressive twists and turns. Holy Wars is the second song the band made available to fans paving the way for the album. 21st Century Blues touches base with the title with a bar blues groove opening towards the slick chorus that features the typical TOTO gene. It hints the classic Africa era with Williams crystal clear and warm voice drenching the song in the present. Orphan debuted as the bands single and made clear aside the TOTO trademark sound there was a lot more to be expected. The song features a stop and go motion with impressive drum breaks by new drummer Keith Carlock. The beat and drive of the song make Williams pushing the envelope and TOTO manages to break the boundaries of the genre. Unknown Soldier is as confronting lyrically as it is musically. The song has a mesmerizing and powerful resonation in the bridges and choruses, which are dense and powerful, reminiscent to Kansas early classics. Musically theres a lot happening on the song without ever coming across forced or eclectic. Its exactly that art mastered by TOTO, which makes them so beloved.
The Little Things hooks onto the subtle mood change with light footed guitar and drum interaction over a vivid bass lick propelling it forward. Again Josephs voice highlights the ear-mingling sugar coated chorus. His vocals are appealing and warm, even in this (near) whispering mode. The interaction between Lukather and Williams vocals gives the song an excellent momentum. Chinatown is an utterly cool prog outburst with a seventies feeling to it. The song grooves along a jazzy hook, stokes by Paich piano swirl and the blazing withheld power of Lukathers guitar licks. Chinatown keenly unites TOTOs frontline singers in close harmony stepping forward for some excellent interaction and features some of the better Paich-Williams vocal interaction in TOTO history.
All the Tears instantly has me stoked. Jazzy warm piano tones balance with the high tech keyboard swirl from Paich, creating a subtle tension in the warm environment by the slick guitar lick in the background. Vocally Paich challenges Williams once again and the chorus is slick and comfy revealing the bands unmatched feeling for sentiment and drama.
Fortune is opened by a steep cornered distinctive guitar lick directly from the bands Hydra (hello!) era. A seventies prog inflicted song with on-going thrive and slick vocal interaction.
Great Expectations perfectly sums up the feeling I had surrounding this mythical reunion. The epical, almost 7 minute spanning song features the bands key ingredients. Eclectic neo progressive hooks and breaks perfectly timed by Porcaro and Carlock, vibrant and subtle guitar twists topped off by towering keyboard pasting it all solid. Mid-section Luke fires one of his elusive solos paving the way for a dose of mathematically timed progressive complexity that melodically blooms towards the end. Its the ultimate way to end this varied new album.
TOTO managed to break the boundaries and live up to the great expectations surrounding their fourteenth studio release. The band manages to surprise without lacking the typical TOTO DNA, and step up with multi layered bedazzling song structures in the best TOTO manner. Larger than life hooks and choruses contrasting with the bands varied musical spectre, providing tension and untimely thought provoking melodies and musical twists. The band consistently keeps pushing the envelope and tests the outcome of their collaboration at an unmatched high level. Never cutting corners or any sign of laurel resting is to be found on this classic. Because thats what XIV is: an instant TOTO classic.

“Papa, where did you go?” Meybelín Portillo, six, asks her father as she clambers on to his lap, tears still in her eyes. She buries her face in his chest and hugs him tightly.
Arnovis Guidos Portillo had only stepped out for 15 minutes to pick up an evening order of pupusas (fat tortillas stuffed with cheese, beans or meat) to eat at their home in the tiny Salvadoran village of Corral de Mulas.
But since her experience of the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance policy” – which mandated that children of undocumented migrants be removed from their parents – Meybelin has found it hard to spend any time at all away from her father.
Even the briefest separation seems to reawaken panic that her father won’t return.
And then, trying to change the subject, he says: “Hey Meybelin, should we have a swimming lesson tomorrow?” She looks up at him and gives an emphatic nod.
Portillo, 26, is a single father, and the two had never spent more than a few hours apart before Meybelin was taken from him on 27 May, after the two were detained at the Texas border. He was deported on 21 June, with no idea where his daughter was – and only made contact with her once he reached a center for returned migrants in San Salvador.
After a month apart, the pair was finally reunited last week, when Meybelin was returned to El Salvador.
But his joy is tempered with concerns about the long-term impact of the experience.
“She’s tramautized and extremely anxious – she cried for an hour straight this morning and then again this afternoon. It scares me,” he says.
For now, he is trying to distract her, taking her to visit friends or going swimming in the nearby bay.
Meybelin is not ready to talk about her time in the US and Arnovis does not want to press her.
The US president, Donald Trump, reversed the policy of family separations late last month, replacing it with indefinite family detention, but it is unknown how many of the nearly 3,000 children who were separated from their parents have been reunited with their parents or deported alone.
A federal judge has since ended deportations of those separated from their children and ordered the administration reunite children under the age of five with their parents within 14 days, and all other children within 30 days.
As of 26 June, the US Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services said they had reunified 538 children with parents.
But the nightmare is not over for the Guidos Portillo family.
Arnovis’s seven-year-old niece, Darlene Roxana Muñoz, is still in a shelter somewhere in Florida. She and her father, José Dolores Muñoz Salinas, 36, had traveled to the border with Arnovis and Meybelin before all four turned themselves into US officials at Hidalgo, with plans to apply for asylum.
Agents then separated Darlene and Meybelin from their fathers: Meybelin was sent to Phoenix and Darlene is thought to have been sent to Florida. Arnovis and José were then transferred to Laredo before José was moved by himself to Port Isabel, Texas, where he remains detained.
Yancy has spoken to her daughter several times in the past month, but says her husband has not. She says she only knows that she’s in Florida and that her daughter’s caseworker said the pair would be deported together, but did not give a date.
According to Salvadoran officials, about 180 Salvadoran children in total were separated from their parents at the border, but the Salvadoran government cannot locate 35 of them.
Meybelin’s case was the first known reunification with a deported parent in the country.
When he first arrived back to El Salvador, Arnovis had no idea where Meybelín was before Jonathan Ryan, an American lawyer who is executive director of Texas-based legal aid organization Raices, called to tell him she had been in a shelter in Phoenix.
The night she finally landed in San Salvador, two vans full of family members had made the three-hour trek to the airport with colorful balloons and welcome signs. Arnovis had spent the morning preparing for her arrival: cleaning her favorite white dress, stringing lights, cooking beans and stuffing a piñata he commissioned to resemble her.
Since her return Meybelin has refused to sleep in her own bed, instead spending the night sandwiched between Arnovis and his partner Joanna.
And while Arnovis is glad to have her back, he still fears what the future may hold for the family.
The pair fled home after Arnovis received death threats from the local street gang which still dominates the town.
Since returning, Arnovis says two other friends have left after gang members threatened their lives.
For now, he plans to stay in El Salvador, but he is looking into requesting asylum elsewhere – in Canada, Costa Rica, Belize, Panama or any other country where he can work and he and his daughter can be safe.

It is striking to observe that there are now more than 60 million people who have been obliged to leave their homes as a result of inequalities, injustices and persecution, as well as more than 40 armed conflicts raging throughout the world. It is felt especially here at home, where we still vividly remember the Civil War and the subsequent dictatorship, as a consequence of which many Catalans had to take the long road to exile. In the light of this reality, highlighted in our case by the humanitarian crisis of people forcibly displaced to Europe, Catalonia wishes to take decisions and assume its responsibilities.
The defence, protection, reception and support of people arriving in Catalonia are essential elements in the construction of a country that can freely decide its future and they constitute a duty for all democratic countries; a country committed to the needs of people, especially the most disadvantaged, and a generator of opportunities for all; a respectful welcoming country that promotes its culture and values, aware that these concepts are dynamic and that Catalonia, over the course of time, has built them up based on a whole range of cultural contributions.
To meet this challenge with dignity as a community, the cooperation, coordination and communication between the different administrations, associative networks and Catalan civil society are key factors in guaranteeing an efficient reception process that contributes to the full autonomy of people arriving in Catalonia, protecting their rights, fulfilling responsibilities and ensuring respectful treatment as well as recognising the enormous contribution their people can make to our society and culture.
In September 2015, the Catalan Government created the Committee for the Reception of Refugees, a body that advises, participates and coordinates with Catalan public administrations and the social institutions and organizations involved in the reception of people seeking international protection and refugees in Catalonia (Governmental Agreement of 22 September 2015), currently attached to the Secretariat of Labour, Social Affairs and Families.
The committee features broad institutional and social representation, with almost 80 stakeholders involved, organized into seven working groups: awareness and education for development, inventory of resources, reception, employment and employability, healthcare, childhood and elderly people.
A variety of initiatives and actions have come out of these working groups: a single consensual document on refugees produced between all of the working group representatives; the creation of a unified resource bank that permits the cataloguing of all the physical and non-physical assets that individuals, organizations, institutions and companies are willing to put at the disposal of refugees throughout the region; the rolling out of an institutional Action Plan on regional information directed at municipal representatives; the design and implementation of a communication campaign to inform and raise public awareness on the right of asylum; and the creation of a reception website, Refugee.gencat.cat, that acts as a guide both for refugees and for technicians working in reception and integration, and which provides general information to the general public. Most important of all: the commitment by all members of the Committee to coordinate with each other to achieve the successful reception and integration of refugees into our society.
On Refugee.gencat.cat there are documents and materials relevant to refugees (basic regulations, key players, etc.), interactive resources such as translators or areas to make contact with administrative departments, blocks of information on practical questions to do with housing, education and healthcare with links to more specific matters such as scholarships and grants for children, how to obtain a social security card or online Catalan courses.
In the different sections: Catalonia, Language, Housing, Employment, Education and Training, Healthcare, Religious Beliefs and Social Protection, you will find the keys to understanding how the resources of our country are organized and accessed, as well as information on essential services for the individual, or tools to support people who have arrived in Catalonia in their process of integration in a clear and informative way.
We invite you to contribute to making Catalonia a welcoming and democratic country, in the vanguard of the defence and protection of human rights in a Europe where everybody lives in peace and can enjoy full citizen status.

FeatureIs an all-flash data center worth it?
Infrastructure is getting smarter by the day. It's reached the point where I'm afraid artificially intelligent IT will soon turn the tables and start telling me how to manage my own personal "lifecycle." Well, I would be afraid if I believed all those AI vendors suddenly claiming they offer AI-powered infrastructure.
Now, we all want smarter, more automated, self-optimizing infrastructure -- especially with storage -- but I don't see storage infrastructure components engaging in a human conversation with people about anything anytime soon. Storage is definitely getting smarter in more practical ways, however, and these changes are being seen in places such as data center storage architecture.
I'm excited by the hot storage trend toward embedding machine learning algorithms aimed at key optimization, categorization, search and pattern detection tasks. Corporate data assets are growing, and so is the potential value that comes from gathering and analyzing big data. It's difficult to manually find those nuggets of data gold, though. And with the coming onslaught of the internet of things (IoT), data prospecting challenges will add mining huge amounts of fast streaming, real-time machine-generated and operational transactional data to the mix.
To help us take advantage of these potential information riches, storage vendors have started inserting intelligent algorithms into the storage layer directly. By converging analytical-type processing into the data storage layer, we can now readily tackle the huge scales of information available today and produce near real-time feedback to the business side of our organizations.
There are a few trends converging on data center storage architecture that are enabling this intelligence evolution to happen quite rapidly.
In general, serverless, event-triggered computing (e.g., Amazon Web Services Lambda) is growing in popularity as a means to process increasingly streaming, pipelined and event-oriented data. The main idea here is much like the venerable stored procedures or user-defined functions long supported in structured databases.
You can now store and execute event-driven bits of functional programming directly in new, more universal data storage. Custom compute functions can be triggered at a low, intimate level right in the storage layer as data is persisted or accessed -- or in another data lifecycle event, for example, as data ages or migrates to a colder tier.
Also, view this convergence of application and analytical computing into the storage layer on the same evolutionary axis as big data, where storage gets scaled out (e.g., Hadoop Distributed File System) and computation is mapped across cluster nodes local to each chunk of data. The increase in use of in-memory data grids and the arrival of newer big data "universal" databases, such as combined structured and unstructured data sets, are also helping converge computing and data persistence into the same layer.
Vendors are writing new storage OS architectures as containerized applications, at least internally. This is part of the trend toward a so-called software-defined world, but is also driven by the desire to eventually make computing completely agile over any kind or mix of underlying hardware resources, such as heterogeneous clusters and dynamic hybrid clouds.
Properly containerized storage services can readily integrate and support end-user or third-party functionality inside and intimate to the host storage functionality. Container architectures for storage can then execute microservices on demand to rapidly respond and dynamically scale functionality as-needed -- perfect for the aforementioned Lambda Architectures.
In the last century, machine learning usually took place on isolated, historical (i.e., offline) data sets leveraging algorithms designed for scale-up environments. Today, through a decade of big data development, we now have libraries of easy-to-use machine learning algorithms ready and optimized for distributed (i.e., parallel) scale-out applications on increasingly wider volumes and varieties of data.
With the advent of IoT, we are seeing new sources of rich data showing up in the data center storage architecture as nonstop streams of information that require continuous processing in a pipeline manner. The need to process data in real-time, in parallel and with advanced contextually informed analytics -- not just with traditional transactional business operations -- motivated much of the aforementioned development.
Despite progress in freeing compute and storage from hardware dependencies, it is continuing advances in data center storage architecture that are helping to superpower smarter storage. Every month, we hear of denser memory, the increasing deployment and transition to flash and new nonvolatile memory express-based architectures, more capable CPUs, the leverage of GPUs and even custom field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for big data. And let's not forget persistent memory on the near horizon.
Machine learning has arrived in the data center at many levels, applications, augmented management and even embedded in devices. IT Infrastructure is getting smarter, at scales and speeds we have only just begun to appreciate. And storage, where most of our data resides, has become machine learning goldmine. While storage is not going to grow a thinking digital mind with equivalent, or vastly superior, human cognition anytime soon, it is going to start to acting in much smarter ways. IT folks today would do well to start looking for infrastructure that learns.
What are some ways in which you've observed storage technology get smarter and how have they changed your operations?

I am a late comer to the world of Podcasts, but with the birth of my son, I had a lot of time holding babies, feeding babies, changing diapers, and podcasts helped me fill the time and getting my learning kick at the same time. I listen to several podcasts, and the good ones, I zap back hundreds of episodes, to soak up each and every ounce of value out of them. I will not make a post for every good episode I listen to, but if they really stand out, I will post about them here, and invite you to listen, and see what you think of them.
In this interview, a lot was discussed, including how we have forgotten our roots in the software world, how our software legacy can help us as we progress in the world of software today. The concept of how our tools are not helping us, but crippling us in our goal to create bug free software that solves a business / organization problem.
It really made me think, as the ideas are really against the flow of what normal developers think and believe in. We are not our code, and sometimes we take an emotional response to our code, and our languages, and if we sit back and think, really think, we might see the world of software in a different light.
My name is Scott Hanselman. I'm a programmer, teacher, and speaker. I work out of my home office in Portland, Oregon for the Web Platform Team at Microsoft, but this blog, its content and opinions are my own. I blog about technology, culture, gadgets, diversity, code, the web, where we're going and where we've been. I'm excited about community, social equity, media, entrepreneurship and above all, the open web.
Check out the episode. I think its well worth the listen.
Scott is definitely one of the most polished podcasters out there: extremely articulate, well versed in the craft and extremely quick on his feet. A great speaker and an even better interviewer.
I also loved this episode... check out some of his interviews with Uncle Bob and even some with Jeff Atwood.
Thanks for the feedback Andy. He has so many episodes, and a lot of them not as relevant as others to me, so I appreciate the referral for Uncle Bob and Jeff Atwood... with over 400, its daunting, even for a podcast junkie like me.
I might post a few more articles about other Podcasts I listen to, I hope that some readers share, as word of mouth is the best way to find the quality stuff.
